Intro:

Last night, I was so focused on singing the psalms and


hymns during the night prayer. While singing, I also heard the
voices of other brothers; some were in high pitches while others
were in lower pitches. Some voices are very broad and low,
while others are very high in pitch. Some had different styles as
well: one sings very loudly, as if in a solo contest, while others
sing in a whisper. Some are somehow out of tune, and some are
trying not to be. Although we have different voices and styles, we
somehow created harmony and melody.
Contrast:
We sing in our different voices, and it is necessary to create that
harmony. 
Elaboration to the given example:
To maintain the cleanliness of a household, there are
different things to do: sweep the floor, wipe the glasses, wash the
dishes, put polishers down and scrub the floor, sanitize the
bathroom, etc. They are different from each other, but they can all
be narrowed down to one concept: cleaning. In the seminary,
some will sweep, put down polishing wax, and scrub the hallway
while others will brush, rinse, and mop the cubicles inside the
restrooms. Some will clean the chapel while others clean the
oratory room. Some are sweeping the pathway, while others will
clean the open court. All of these are distinct from one another,
but they all work toward the same goal: cleanliness.
Cpmbination of both:
During the prayer, I cannot deny that there are some who
did not maintain balance and harmony in singing, which destroys
the beauty of it. In the same way, there are some seminarians
who do not maintain cleanliness by neglecting to clean their
areas. By contributing with different voices, we created a
harmonious melody, just as by contributing different work in
different areas, we created a harmonious work towards
cleanliness.
