GOD WANTS TO BE KNOWN The Old Testament reading from Deuteronomy praises God for inscribing the

commandments in our very bodies. God’s law is not distant or foreign, but a natural

part of us. In his letter to the Colossians, Saint Paul echoes Moses, praising God for

becoming one of us. The truly human, flesh-and-blood Jesus reminds us that God

always wants to be recognizable and famil-iar to us. Jesus, who is also truly God,

wants to be on intimate terms with each of us. God’s passionate desire to be known by us is almost too wonderful

to take in. Luke’s Gospel helps us understand how to respond. The Good Samaritan parable provides practical advice for those who believe

in God’s intimate love for them and want to share that love with others. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION On a summer day, with the windows open, we may hear the sound of church bells. Bells seem to have come into church life in Irish monasteries around the seventh century, and spread around the Christian world by Irish monks on missionary jour-neys. By the eighth century, bells were standard equipment in even small parish churches. An ancient ceremony, once called the “baptism of the bells,” recognizes that the church bell has a voice to call people to awareness and summon them to wor-ship, and even bestows a name on the bell. In a world without clocks or watches, the bell had an indis-pensable role. For calling monks in from the fields for prayer, or alerting far-flung visitors, the bell’s voice was enhanced by hoisting it high into a tower. Soon it was learned that the sound of several bells clanging together in harmony imparted a sense of joy to great celebrations, and bell towers prospered, some chock full of bells. Different combinations of rings could indicate a death, a Mass, a wedding, a fast day, the curfew at the end of day, and the Angelus. Before electricity, bell-ringing was hard work indeed: the biggest bell in the Catholic world, in Cologne, Germany, weighs twenty-seven tons! There’s no substitute for the resonant roar of a mighty bell; electric chimes are not eligi-ble for blessing! —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
