If you follow the daily office closely, you will find that there is an element of freshness every day. The prayers and patterns are concentrated and contemplative. Benedict encourages us to listen as well as recite.
Pay particular attention to the Sabbath as a moment of returning to the surety and solemnity of life, for setting our sights above the daily, for restating the basics, giving meaning to the rest of the week. Yes, reinforced through repetition.
