The joyful ringing of bells.

We had a new Bishop about a year ago and he's brought about a change that I really love. He's allowing churches to ring their bells before Mass! Our former Bishop, very liberal and known in true irreverent Kiwi style as "Protestant Pete", forbade the ringing of Church bells. He said it would disturb the neighbours. But now, for a few minutes before Mass, the bells can be heard. It gives one such a spiritual uplift. And as an added blessing, at the Latin Mass the bells are also rung during the consecration! What a joy! Thank you God.
