FAZtor s Notes By Fr. Arnold Zamora A pastor was walking to church one morning when he passed one of his parishioners working in his garden. "Can't you hear those bells calling you to church?" asked the priest. "Eh, what's that?" said the parishioner. "Can't you hear those bells calling you to church?" "I'm afraid you'll have to speak a little louder!" said the parishioner. "CAN'T YOU HEAR THOSE BELLS CALLING YOU TO CHURCH?!" shouted the priest. "I'm sorry," said the parishioner, "I can't hear you because of those darned BELLS!" When I first celebrated Mass here at Holy Name following my appointment as Pastor, I noticed something missing in my experience at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. I did not hear the Sanctus bells during the Consecration. The use of bells during Mass is neither mandated nor forbidden. According to the General Instruction of the Roman Missal: A little before the consecration, when appropriate, a server rings a bell as a signal to the faithful. According to local custom, the server also rings the bell as the priest shows the host and then the chalice (no. 150). Whether we use bells or not does not affect the sacramental validity of the Mass. Yet part of my reasoning for the renewed use of the bells is that they have great catechetical value. Everything we do at Mass is done for the honor and glory of God. Fresh flowers, sacred music, etc. all help to make the Mass more ornate. Their good use shows us that the liturgy is something more than the ordinary. Something supernatural is taking place. The bells can also help to remind us to participate fully in the Mass. I remember reading about parents who were saved by the bell with their young children. Not only could the bells help them to be reminded of what was happening should they be distracted, but the bells could also be a teaching tool concerning the Real Presence of Christ. In any case, bells can also be a way to glorify God as we gaze upon His Sacred Body and Blood. We live in a time when many Catholics no longer believe in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. They see the Eucharist (Holy Communion) as only a symbol or a metaphor. As we work at better catechesis to teach the truth that Jesus is Present, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Eucharist (Holy Communion), the Sanctus bells are a beautiful way for us to help reaffirm this belief.
