Of Smells and Bells: A Catholic Perspective on the Sensory Aspect of Our Faith

In this week’s blog reading, Leah takes a trip down memory lane and reflects on how her memories are often experienced through sounds and smells rather than dates and timelines. From the creak of the milkhouse door swinging shut to the sweet aroma of freshly cut alfalfa, memories emerge as a rich blend of sensory experiences and emotions. Drawing from these reflections, Leah explores how the wisdom of the Catholic faith engages our senses through the tradition often described as “smells and bells.” She considers how sacred sights, sounds, and scents can capture our attention, and deepen our participation in worship.
