Batman's Column

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!
