ANGELUS

My parish , Saint Vital

In a previous blog post I wrote about the Catholic Church at the top of the hill in the town where I live. The post appeared under the title "A Special Place to help calm my fears". See http://www.humanlifematters.org/2016/05/a-special-place.html 

The bell in the steeple rings three times each day throughout the seasons and marks the gentle rhythms of daily life for my wife and me. While our grandchildren have often used the sound of the noontime bell as a signal to come home to Grandma's house for lunch, ... It also serves as a reminder for me to quietly pray the Angelus.
