Batman's Column

My Deer Parishionerz o St. Padre Pio, 

It iz me, Batman, da rectory doggo! I don't know wat iz goin' on dis spring, but I haz allergiez!!! I iz sneezing all o da timez. I go for walkiez? I sneezez. I go out on da back deck? I sneezez. I go outside 2 AHEM "do my business"? I sneezez! Dis iz getting out o paw (remember I haz no handz)! So WHY iz Jesus talking aboutz stuff dat I iz probably allergic 2?!? When I asked-ed my daddo, he said dat Jesus wuz using a parable, a story, 2 help people understand da will o God (although sometimez people didn't get da point). In dis particular parable, our Lord is reminding us dat dere iz a BIG difference between our time and God's time. We can be concerned about so many udder tings and even distracted by important stuff (like sleep) but God still iz in control o everyting and everyting lives and moves and haz its being thru God! Plus da Lord remindz us that even dough we may start small and da life o faith may seem tiny, dat God haz BIG plans 4 us and iz anudder opportunity 2 grow in holiness! So let us giv all o our worries and lives 2 God and wit da gift o faith, let us have da courage 2 dream big 4 Christ and His Church! 

God Bless (and wat iz da dogg
