Whenever the Bells Are Rung
"You are to announce and preach to all the people his glory, so that every hour and whenever the bells are rung, all the people on earth may give praise and thanks to Almighty God." --St. Francis, First Letter to the Custodes
I have often felt that having a clock that chimed every 15 minutes would be helpful in reminding me to do whatever I was doing at that moment for the Lord and not for myself (or even for someone else). St. Francis used the bells to remind his followers to "announce and preach....his glory" so it seems it is a human condition to need help in keeping our focus on the Lord.
