Batman's Column

It is me! Batman, da rectory doggo. I haz 2 say dat I am confused-ed. U hoomans r acting pretty weird. First, everybody comez 2 church on a Wednesday (and bark "Hello" 2 all of demz). Den dere iz someting called "sprinkling". And everybody keepz talking about Lent and givin up stuff and doing stuff. No eating da meatz and even NO SNACKOS!!! What givz?!? Fortunately all dis Lent stuff doez not apply to doggos o udder animalz, even da catz! But I can appreciate what all u guyz iz trying 2 do. Lent iz a special time 4 us 2 follow in da footsteps o Christ. It allowz us 2 realize how special da covenant dat God forged 4 our sake, greater dan da one He made wit Noah and all de udder covenants o da Old Testament. Jesus' suffering 4 sins and by da Paschal Mystery (His Passion, Death and Resurrection) conquers sin and death 4 all times and ages. We share in dis reality by our baptism and we take deez 40 days 2 fast and pray lik Jesus did and hopefuully not b bothered by da Devil (I don't lik dat guy. If I seez him I will pee on him and bited his leg). We prepare ourselvez so dat when Easter comez along, we will be better believerz and holier too! So 'Happy Lent' and if u have snackos in ur house dat might caused u temptation, pleaz send dem 2 da rectory care o Batman!
God Bless (And Keep Praying)!
