The Angelus Bell

The church bell rings the Angelus at morning, noon and night;
To some it are a blessing, but to others it’s a blight.
Perhaps the views are different due to what they represent,
Reminding all the faithful of the angel who was sent
To bring the news to Mary, if her will was to agree
The mother of God’s only son, her destiny would be.
The bell rings daily to remind the people of the way
That Mary’s “yes” meant changes that continue to this day,
For Christ was born of Mary, consequently on her “yes”
And so God’s Son came down to earth, man’s sins there to address.
But unbelievers only hear the noise the bell can make,
Uncaring of the link to Christ, who died for mankind’s sake.
And so they sometimes get annoyed and say it shouldn’t ring,
Ignoring all the comfort that to others it might bring.
