Batman's Column

May 13, 2022

It iz me, Batman, da rectory doggo! My daddo had a REALLY busy weekend last week and I got to spend some extra time wit my Unca Dave. I luvz him very much and he iz a special member o my pack. But he iz not alone! Dere r so many hoomanz dat luvz me and takz good care of me. My pack IZ HUGE!!! I iz a lucky doggo becauz I iz loved so much. But as awesome as da luv o my family, dere iz da real Alpha da iz da source o all luv, God! AND HE IZ NOT SHY IN SHARING IT! It iz dat luv, da reason why Jesus suffered and died 4 our sake, dat fillz us wit lif and givz our livez purpose. We see it in da readings from Sacred Scripture: Wut made Paul and Barnabas go 2 da endz o da earth 2 make disciplez? LUV! Why do we praise our king and God? LUV! Who makez da whole world new? Da God o LUV! And we r called ... NO ... COMMANDED 2 LUV! Dere iz so much hate in da world, so many hoomanz who suffer from a lack o luv. It iz up 2 us 2 luv dem all just like Jesus doez. We r all members o da same "pack", da Church, so letz hop 2 it! SO, how iz God asking u 2 luv? More importantly, WHO iz God asking u 2 luv? Becauz datz how we show dat we r His disciples. If u need some practice, u can alwayz comez 2 da rectory and spendz some time wit me. I LUV giving and receiving some luvinz (lint brush available upon request)! 

God Bless and Haz a LUVLY DAY!

God of light & life, give us hope as we wait for your coming again. When we are tempted to be grateful to have found you while others are lost, send us out into the darkness in search of those who need you most. Amen The extraordinary thing that is about to happen is matched only by the extraordinary moment just before it happens. Advent is the name of the moment Frederick Buechner This season and always may I stand in awe & wonder of the Messiah who came to save the world. The good news of great joy changed the course of every silent night to come Alicia Bruxvoort Reframe Advent from a season of activity to a season of adoration & anticipation Advent is the language of Heaven… hope, love, joy, and peace. And Jesus’ life spoke this language. Karina Allen
