Batman's Column

December 12, 2021

My Deer Parishionerz o St. Padre Pio Parish, 

It iz me, Batman da rectory doggo! I knowz dat dere r many udder doggoz out dere dat lookz like me. When humanz see dem, dey getz excited and will run up and say, “R u Batman da rectory doggo?!?” Doz doggoz bark back 2 dem and say, “No. I iz not Batman da rectory doggo. I iz not dat cute.” In today’s Gospel, John da Baptist gave peoplez really good advice. Den dey wondered if he wuz da Christ. But John da Baptist told dem dat while he baptized-ed dem wit water (which I likz 2 drink), Jesus iz coming 2 baptize wit da Holy Spirit and fire! Even dough he wuz helpful, it wuz John’s job not 2 point 2 himself, but 2 Jesus. Datz our job 2! We r called 2 helpz udderz but we hav 2 point 2 Jesus. In doing so we proclaimz da Good Newz. Dis iz super duper important as we get closer and closer 2 Christmas and da birth o Jesus. So wut has we done 2 help udderz? And how hav we used dat charity and luv 2 point 2 Jesus? Cauz it’s totally OK 2 look like our Lord.
