Alarm systems
Nullo 5 recommends them. It also recommends their daily inspection to keep them working in good order.
Nulo 5 next explains the law’s express provision for a safer location to keeping the MBS outside of the tabernacle in the sanctuary. The place indicated is “ordinarily the sacristy” as long as it be truly safer. It mentions that the construction of the safe in the sacristy be very solid, well closed and inserted—if preferable—into some part of the church wall. If no such security can be found in the sacristy, provision is likewise made for safe-keeping in some other place “even of a private character.” Such private safe-keeping requires the parish priest’s still ensure due reverence and honor to the MBS.
Nullo 5 excludes the safe-keeping of the host without a pyx or ciborium citing a decree from SRC to Altoona
The priest, during such extraordinary transport of the host from the tabernacle to the place of safer-keeping is, at least as a rule, to “be accompanied by a cleric, carrying a light.”
Compare this also with the ritual administration of Holy Communion to the sick where candles a lit and Father is accompanied and prayers are made by the people, both at the church, at the home and again at the Church. How frequently is devotion of this sort ever seen?
Nullo 5 mentions the care of the sacred vessels themselves. Those responsible are to attend to their safe-keeping and storage in such a way that as to avoid enticing the greed of thieves. Here it indicates an “ordinary pyx” as opposed to more decorous ones of great value for the everyday safe-keeping of the MBS. In general it recommends guarding the decorations of all types in such a way as would deter all theft.
