More often than not, these rare moments occur during the Liturgy. The Lord gives us a chance to spend Sundays with him, to accept him, and to try to start everything from scratch, notwithstanding the fact that we fail at it. The Lord does not expect us to put a lot of effort into it (although this is essential to get anywhere). He agrees to count the very willingness to do something as doing it.
