Psalmody in a crowded congregation is accompanied by captivity and wandering of the thoughts; but in solitude, this does not happen. However, those in solitude are liable to be assailed by despondency, whereas in congregation the brethren help each other by their zeal. At all times, but most of all while chanting, let us be still and undistracted. For through distractions, the demons aim to ruin our prayer.
