The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the XXII Sunday in O.T.

The Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Matt Maher, "Rise Up" from The Love In Between (Saint Mike Papa Whiskey)

Commentary: Ay my parish, Saint Matthew, we don't have large, one-size-fits-all O.C.I.A. classes. Instead, our Faith Formation Director works with individuals throughout the year; most candidates (baptized Catholics who were never confirmed or those baptized in other Christian traditions) & catechumens (those preparing to be baptized) are received into full communion with the Church at the Easter Vigil, but if someone is ready earlier, we don't arbitrarily make them wait until the next March or April for the Easter Vigil. This is the third Sunday on which we are hearing the Scrutiny readings, normally read for the benefit of candidates & catechumens during Lent, as we prepare to baptize &/or confirm four adults on the first Sunday in September.

Today's Gospel: the raising of Lazarus, which isn't normally heard in August.
