Batman's Column
My Deer Parishonerz o St. Padre Pio,
It iz me, Batman, da rectory doggo! Dere were a lotz o people hear last Sunday!
While I iz happy dat peoplez hadz a good time, I iz happy dat all o da truckz, and
busez and tractorz and forkliftz and carz behind da rectory r gone! Dat kind o stuff
drivez me bananaz!!! At timez it seemed lik it would never endz! It iz kinda da
same 4 all o us. Lif can b hard. Timez can b tough and it seemz lik it will never
ever ever ever endz. We cry out 2 God and feelz lik He isn't even listening. But
He iz! It iz just dat His time and our time are not da same! So we r called 2
continue 2 cry out 2 da Lord, and even dough God may challenge us, we cannot
ignore Him o "harden our hearts". 4 as God's children, not only r we 2 set da
world on fire, we r called 2 give testimony 2 Him wit courage and power and love!
Even if we startz small lik da mustard seed, our faith can grow so dat we can live
out our obligation 2 love and serve our Lord and one another. So wut r asking o
our God? And then, what iz His response? Wut r we being asked 2 do by da
Father and da Son and da Holy Spirit? Wut iz da challenge and da witness dat we
r called 2 giv? May da Lord giv us all dat we need 2 cry out 2 Him in courage and
listen 2 His response with courage and luv!
God Bless (and do u haz any left over chikenz? Dey wuz REALLY good!!!)!
Batman, da rectory doggo
