While praying the rosary on the way to church, I was trying to think of how to better remember which bead I was into when it dawned on me that the key to determining which bead I held depends on the length of the string (in the case of my rosary, it's chain links) between the beads, not the number of beads that I've already prayed.
Upon reflection, this realization smacks of Professor Ratzinger's theology as expounded once by Fr. Arevalo in a symposium: it is the relations between persons that matter more, not just the persons themselves.
I really should be packing up my cassock and surplice and bible and heading for the nearest monastery. The rosary, too.
