Batman's Column

My Deer Parishionerz o St. Padre Pio Parish,

It iz me, Batman, da rectory doggo! I don't knowz a whole lotz about were I comez from. I knowz dat I wuz born in Georgia and dat a nice lady saved-ed me right b4 tingz got BAD (if you knowz wut I meanz) and sent me to New Jersey. My daddo did my doggie DNA and I haz a close relative in Vermont who lookz JUST like me! His name iz Mr. Charlie and maybez I can meetz him some day. Luke's Gospel remindz us dat we belongz 2 God and dat da God who luvz us iz DA SAME GOD who luvz our parentz, grandparentz, great-grandparentz ... EVERYBODY! It iz His longing 4 us 2 His children and 2 liv out a life o faith. It iz only by participating in a da lif o grace that we can be "deemed worthy" and to share in da resurrection o da dead (which apparently iz very important during da month o November). So who do u belong 2? I iz sure dat u all haz wonderful family and friendz lik I doez. But if u do o if u don't we still ALL belong 2 God and r called 2 follow Him to eternal life!

God Bless (and can I walkz 2 Vermont?)!

Batman, da rectory doggo
