Batman's Column

April 10, 2021

It iz me, Batman da rectory doggo! I heard dat dere wuz a huge bunny rabbit hangingz around last weekend. I did not seez him and TRUST ME, I wuz looking! Last Sunday, az we listened 2 da readings from Sacred Scripture, dere were lotz o people looking 4 da body o Jesus, but it wasn't dere either because He had risen from da dead. Dis Sunday, da disciples were hiding in da upper room. Dey were filled wit fear and scared-ed about what wuz going 2 happen next. Fortunately, dey didn't hafta look 4 Jesus because He came 2 dem! He came into dere midst and da Lord gave dem His mercy and His peace. We 2 hav been kinda stuck in our homes (stoopid coronavirus) and while it iz good 4 doggos (and even da catz) 2 spend lotz and lotz and lotz and lotz o time wit dere mommos and daddos and kiddos, it haz been ruff 4 lotz o humanz (and dat's OK). And just az Jesus came into da midst o His disicples, our Lord and our God comez 2 be wit us and giv us His mercy and peace. Filled wit da great power o God, filled wit His mercy and peace, we r called 2 give witness 2 Christ and 2 His resurrection! SO DON'T B AFRAID! REMEMBER DAT DIS IS EASTER AND GOD IS WIT US! AND IF U SEE DAT GIANT BUNNY GIV ME A CALL AT DA RECTORY SO I CAN SAY ... HELLO ... 2 HIM! 

God Bless!

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
