Batman's Column
My Deer Parishionerz o St. Padre Pio Parish,
It iz me, Batman, da rectory doggo AND TODAY IZ MY BIRFDAY!!! Can u believez dat I iz 4 YEARS OLD and dat I haz been wit my daddo 4 almost 3 yearz?!? I cannotz! It blowz my mind! Do u know wut else blowz my mind? Da great tingz dat God has done 4 us! Our only response 2 Him iz JOY! Just as da Lord made da lofty mountainz low and fillz in da depthz, God rememberz us in all tingz - in da midst o da good and da bad. Da biggest sign o wut da Lord haz done iz Him entering into da world 2 save us from our sinz. Just like John da Baptist we must cry out dat Jesus came in human history, iz here in our midst and will come again in glory. We haz 2 prepare 4 da way o da Lord and get ready 2 see da salvation o God. R our heartz filled wit joy? R we ready 4 God? If not, dere iz still plenty o Advent left so we can be watchful and waiting! Let us learn 2 luv God more and more each day, and b reflectionz o dat luv when we interact wit one another. A good way 2 show dat luv iz 2 let a furry friend into ur heart and home. Maybe u can giv a doggo o even a cat a second chance 2 know da luv dat a person can giv? Dat would b da best-est birfday gift a doggo could get! So giv tankz 4 everting God haz done! Open up our heartz 4 da Lord 2 dwell and let our livez b blown by His goodness 2 us! Come Lord Jesus!
God Bless!
Batman, da rectory doggo
