Batman’s Column 

My Deer Parishionerz o St. Padre Pio Parish, 

It iz me, Batman, da rectory doggo! And I can't read! I iz a doggo and as smart as doggos can b, it iz not in our skill set! If I couldz read, I would read a lotz! I would read da bulletin (I dictate my column every week, including da spellingz) and most importantly da Bible! All I can doez now iz 2 listen 2 da Bible in a Year Podcast wit my daddo. And I would read lotz and lotz o signz (Do dis, don't do dat, can't u read da signz?)! But 4 God, signz r not important. Christ Himself iz da most important ting in da world and how much He luvz us thru His cruci... cruci... His dying on da cross. But God's luv iz not da mamby pamby kind. It iz powerful! We see da power o dat luv as Jesus drivez out da money changerz. It iz not easy 4 us 2 c God angry like dat (9 timez out o 10 when WE show anger it iz sinful). But He luvz His people SO MUCH dat He got upset when udderz tried 2 cheat dem and overcharge dem 4 tings necessary 4 worship in da temple. DEN He tellz all who would listen dat HE iz the new temple who will be destroyed and rebuilt 4 da sake o ALL DA PEOPLE! Do we luv God and His people wit da same fierceness o spirit da God luvs us? R we too focused on da signz o dis world da we fail 2 see what God wantz 4 us? Can u tell me how much dat box o snackoz iz becauz I took my daddo's credit card and wantz 2 place an order? May da fire o God's luv and His zeal alwayz burn brightly in our heartz dis Lenten season! 

God Bless! 

Batman, da rectory doggo
