Batman's Column

February 26, 2022

My Deer Parishionerz o St. Padre Pio Parish, 

It iz me, Batman, da rectory doggo! Apparently, my daddo iz a gigantic windbag and taked-ed up a lot o space! So guess who getz da short end o da stick?!? ME!!! But we haz 2 giv da people wut dey want! So witout further ado, an abrev.. an abrev.. a really shorto column about da readingz 4 2day. Doggoz and catz r often reflectionz o da mommoz and daddoz. If u hav a good and well behaved-ed doggo dere iz a good person behind dem. Unfortunately da opposite iz true 2! Bad behavior comez from peoplez not understanding o helping dere furry friendz navigate da world dey live in. I wuz lucky da I gotz my daddo and dat he had LOTZ o people who helped-ed him b a good one. It iz da same 4 humanz 2! We iz lucky dat we haz DA BESTEST DADDO IN ALL O CREATION - God! If we listenz 2 Him den we will bear good fruit. Wit His grace we become reflectionz o Him. Not only do we recognize our own sinfulness and weakness, we can, filled wit kindness, help udders. We just hav 2 hav heartz dat r open 2 God and listen 2 Him. We must luv da Lord and udders as He luvz us! We haz 2 hav more space in da bulletin so we can write betterer about Jesus! So don't be blind and fallz in da hole o sin. Open ur heartz and eyez 2 da will o God! 

God Bless (and stop da censureship o doggoz)!

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
