Batman's Column
"A stinky doggo iz a happy doggo!"
It iz me, Batman, da rectory doggo! Dis week, I hadz 2 go 2 da groomers becauz I needed it. I played-ed in da snow. And den, I played-ed in da mud. And den, I played-ed in the snow again and den ... well u getz de idea! All dat playing had lefted-ed me less dan "pristine". As I alwayz sayz, "A stinky doggo iz a happy doggo!" So I haz NO point o reference 2 da Gospel dis Sunday when Jesus went up Mt. Tabor wit Peter, James and John. Our Lord turned-ed white! REALLY WHITE! Like somebody squeaky clean, which He iz becauz He iz da Son o God! Da Transfiguration showz dat our Lord iz super duper special and da One dat da law and prophetz all pointed towardz. But as unbelievable as that moment must have been, it couldn't last. Jesus had 2 come down da mountain so that He could getz His handz "dirty" by His saving action 4 da world. It wuz someting that coulded knot b completed on Mt. Tabor but only wit da wood o da cross. And by the shedding o His blood, Jesus makez us all clean! So let dis moment b a reminder 2 us o da tings dat r 2 come so dat we can truly celebrate in da best way possible Jesus' Passion, Death and Resurrection!
God Bless (and pass da doggie shampoo)! Batman, da rectory doggo
