Batman's Column

My Deer Parishionerz o St. Padre Pio,



It iz me, Batman, da rectory doggo. I haz 2 tell u, da rectory haz been a saddo place. Daddo iz a little disappointed dat da Igglez did not win da Sooper Bowl. While I iz a fan, I tried 2 tell my daddo dat birdoz iz NO GOOD! All dey do iz fly aroundz and mess up da whole place! But I haz also come 2 da realization dat da NFL is missing someting! Dere iz NO team named after a doggo!!! If dere were, dey wouldz win da Sooper Bowl ALL DA TIME!!! We r missing someting 2. As da readingz from da Bible remind us, we forget dat we are the temple o God and dat da Spirit o God dwells within us (even if it IZ a birdo)! We forget dat da Lord iz kind and merciful! We forget dat God longz 4 us 2 b holy as He iz holy! We forget dat we need 2 luv our neighborz and can't have hatred in our heartz towardz our brudderz and sisterz! We forget dat we belong not 2 da world but 2 Christ! Even dough we r poor sinnerz, when we remember deez tingz and live dem out filled with His grace den we can share in God's perfection and win someting even greater dan da Sooper Bowl! We can win heaven! So cry in ur water bowl if u haz 2, but remember dat wut God offerz us iz so much more and so much deeper dan wut we experience in dis world!

God Bless and never trust a birdo!

Batman, da rectory doggo
