The Scrutinies 

According to Catholic Answers – “The scrutinizes are a series of rites for adults who wish to be baptized. They are celebrated in the third, fourth, and fifth weeks of the Lenten season. This is considered a period of purification and enlightenment for the elect. There are prayers of exorcism which are intended to help purify the elect from sin and sinful desires. The overall prayers and laying on of hands are to help the elect be enlightened by the Word and grace of God.” Last Sunday we had the first scrutiny, this Sunday we will have the second, and next Sunday we will have the last one. These rites are celebrated before the Easter Vigil where the elect will be fully accepted into the Body of Christ. If you have not attended an Easter Vigil service in a while I extend an invitation to you. This is the climax of the liturgy of the Church, the finale to the Triduum, the reason why we celebrate Sunday as the day of the Lord. It is a welcome celebration for the newest members of the Body of Christ as we celebrate the risen Lord in our own lives. See you on the journey!
