Batman's Column
My Deer Parishionerz o St. Padre Pio Parish,
It iz me, Batman, da rectory doggo! All my friends, (I HAS LOTS OF DEM) who visit me in da rectory, nose dat I like snackos. I ask for dem a lot! My daddo tells me that I haz to stop begging, because he is tired of listening to me.
I heard today’s Gospel is all about a blind man named Bartimeus who was sitting on the side of a road begging (like me) and waiting for Jesus because he believed that Jesus would cure his blindness.
The peoples told Bartimeus, BE QUIET, but he would not listen, he kept calling out to Jesus and guess what?, Jesus heard-ed him and told the peoples to let Bartimeus come forward.
Then Jesus did somting amazing, he healed-ed Bartimeus eyes and he could see again! Jesus told-ed Bartimeus that his faith had made him whole.
So I put 2 and 2 together, (I’m good at math also) and I realized that every time I beg for a snacko, no matter how many times daddo tells me to stop, he always gives me one.
So, just as I depend on my daddo for what I need, and I need snackos, hoomans depend on God who always sees dem and will always give dem what they need to satisfy dem and make dem whole.
Sooooo, Daddo, pass the snackos! Batman, da rectory doggo
