By Maureen Pratt Catholic News Service It has been several years since the Church instituted word changes to some parts of the Mass, but I still get tripped up from time to time. Each Sunday, I still hear someone stumble along with me, or fumble for the right page so that they can read the correct wording. For some of us, it’s hard to memorize them. From school, to work, to home, to life in general, our days of having oodles of time to sit and memorize something are mostly past. Yet, our need to learn, retain and use information only increases. Of course, as we age, the brain changes subtly, and memorizing becomes more of a challenge. Illness can interfere. Environment and other distractions steal our focus. Fatigue affects us more. But this doesn’t mean we give up. In fact, we can help our brains stay relatively resilient and limber, benefiting from more confidence and ability to adapt to inevitable change. To improve memorization, try some of these tips I gathered from websites, books and other available information: Focus: Eliminate distractions while learning something new. Write out what you want to memorize, over and over again, until you know the information by heart. Sing the words or use other levels of your voice to key your brain into the newness of what you’re trying to learn. Visualize the words, their length and letters. Be persistent and try to memorize at different times of the day, when your attention is strongest. Finally, be forgiving and use a “crib sheet” or, in the case of Mass, a prayer book, instead of fumbling for the words. God knows what’s in your heart, and with time and attention we’ll all be on the same page.
