One day in school a little girl asked, “Why do they ring the Angelus Bell at 12 o’ clock and 6 o’clock?” I was trying to find an answer when another little girl said, “I know, it is like this – the Angel came to ask Mary to have a baby and that was at 12 o’clock. The Angel said “Think about it and I’ll be back for the answer at 6 o’clock.” Mary was good at listening, good at housekeeping too.
Lord bless those who prepare meals for us Listen to those who encourage us Bring healing and peace to our tired spirits.
