Batman's Column

It iz me, Batman, da rectory doggo! My daddo went away 4 a couple o dayz and I missed-ed him (ESPECIALLY when I wuz in my Unca Dave's pool)! But when I got down in da dumpz I looked-ed at my daddo's piczture o FaceTimed him and den I felt OK (He did bring back some snackoz. It helped-ed tak away da sting o him leaving)! Dere are doze who would suggest dat we can say da same ting about Jesus - dat He iz gone away and far from us. BUT DAT IZ NUTHIN' BUT A BUNCH O HOOEY!!! Did Jesus ascend into heaven? Yes! Did He send us da Holy Spirit? Yes! But did He leave us? HECK NO!!! Dat iz why we celebrate da Body and Blood o Jesus, da solemnity o Corpus Christi (“I tink dat's French”). We r blessed as Catholics 2 hav da TRUE PRESENCE o Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Even dough Jesus' human body is in heaven wit da Fadder and da Holy Spirit, He iz actually MORE present now den when He wuz walking among us? How can dat be! Becauz we can receive Him and hav Jesus IN OUR BODIES! What a gift!!! So when we getz down in da dumpz, we can turn and look 2 our Lord and Savior 2 comfort us, nourish us and giv us His life!!! So happy feast day! Hav some snackoz! But most importantly giv tanks for da gift o da Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity o Jesus in da Most Blessed Sacrament! 

God Bless!
