In my area there is a Catholic radio station. I have been listening to it to try and learn more about Catholicism, and I enjoy some of the music too. But everyday around 7pm they recite prayers for half an hour, and for the most part it sounds like the same exact thing recited 200 times or so (Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee...., For the sake of his sorrowful passion have mercy on us and on the whole world..., etc.). And they do this EVERY day! Doesn't it get monotonous after a while? Does God require you to say the same thing over and over again before he'll listen to you? Mainly I'd like to know: 1) why these prayers are recited, 2) why the repetition, and 3) why it's aired on the radio every evening?
I would prefer it if only practicing Catholics answered. Thanks.
