Why did Catholic churches stop ringing the great church bells at 6am, 12 noon, and 6pm? ๐ค
Those traditions were not meaningless rituals; they were part of the spiritual foundation that grounded and disciplined society.
I still remember how busy markets would pause, school children would stop their games, and farmers in their fields would gather quietly to pray the Angelus.
Then, after those few minutes, life continued againโฆ but with a certain calmness within.
