Batman's Column

March 27, 2021

It iz me, Batman, da rectory doggo! If u haz a doggo urself, u knowz dat routinez r very important 2 us. I wakez up at a certain time. I needz 2 go out at a certain time first ting in da morning. I expect 2 go 4 a walk at a certain time. AND I needz 2 eat at a certain time which iz about once every minute (What can I say? I iz a creature o habit!). It iz dis certain time o year dat we celebrate Holy Week and da Passion, Death and Resurrection o Jesus. Dis is my THIRD time going thru all dis! What time iz it for u? Even if it iz ur 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th ( takes a drink), 50th, 60th, 70th or 80th time ( has a snack), God iz trying 2 remind us dat we r being brought back 2 da same moment over and over again! It iz da same act o luv dat we get a chance to experience over and over again! So even dough we may know how all dis goez, da Lord wantz us 2 experience His luv like it wuz da VERY FIRST TIME! Da iz what makes dis time o year so important and holy. So act like a doggo and forget dat we did all dis stuff before and b as excited and grateful 4 every ting God haz done 4 us! 

Happy Holy Week (and it's been AT LEAST a minute since da last time I haz a snacko)! 

Batman, da rectory doggo

God of light & life, give us hope as we wait for your coming again. When we are tempted to be grateful to have found you while others are lost, send us out into the darkness in search of those who need you most. Amen The extraordinary thing that is about to happen is matched only by the extraordinary moment just before it happens. Advent is the name of the moment Frederick Buechner This season and always may I stand in awe & wonder of the Messiah who came to save the world. The good news of great joy changed the course of every silent night to come Alicia Bruxvoort Reframe Advent from a season of activity to a season of adoration & anticipation Advent is the language of Heaven… hope, love, joy, and peace. And Jesus’ life spoke this language. Karina Allen
