Batman's Column

It iz me, Batman, da rectory doggo! I do not likz thuderstormz at all! I getz scared-ed and I startz 2 shake. This past Monday nite we had lotz of thunderstormz. My daddo putted on my special jacket and held-ed me on da bathroom floor and on da bedroom floor and on da floor in da family room. Pretty much everywhere! But he did makez me feel better until da storm was over at 3 AM. I canz ONLY imagine how scared-ed da disciples were in dat boat in Mark's Gospel. I didz not know wat a "violent squall" was, so I hadz 2 look-ed it up! Oh Boy! Dey had 2 be going out o dere mindz because o da wind and da waves and da thunder and da lightning and I don't tink dey had any "thunder jacketz" at all! Tankfully dat iz where Jesus comez in! Just by a word He made da seaz and windz calm. Someitmez in da midst of the violent squallz o our lives we forget dat Jesus is still dere wit us. Just lik da disciples we forget our faith. Our Lord remindz us dat all we need 2 do iz 2 turn to Him and 2 remember and live out our faith. So let us pray dat we don't haz any more thunder stormz! But if dere r, let us not forget our faith and dat our loving God iz wit us alwayz! 

God Bless and giv my daddo a cup o coffee. He lookz beat!
