The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day

Sanctus Real, "On Fire" via iTunes (Mike Papa Whiskey)

Commentary: This has been a trying summer, in no small part because of my foolish, self-destructive neglect of my study of sacred Scripture & the saints, but methinks that by the grace of God the ship is being righted.
"Remember when you couldn't wait
To show up early and find your place,
'Cause you didn't want to miss a thing
And your heart was open, ready for change.
Oh, those days!
You were never afraid to sing,
Never afraid to lift your hands,
Didn't care what people would think.

"You were on fire,
And church was more than a place,
And people were more than faces,
And Jesus was more than a name…"
Bonus! Song of the Day
"Weird Al" Yankovic, "Word Crimes" from Mandatory Fun (Mike Papa Whiskey)

Commentary: In mockery of Matthew Kelly's "the-best-version-of-yourself" & some saddening plural/possessive confusions, with accompanying abuse of the apostrophe, in this week's Saint Matthew parish bulletin—in a letter by one of Fr. Tom Firestone's new parochial vicars, no less!
