Batman's Column
It iz me, Batman, da rectory doggo! I iz really tirsty and hungry all o da timez. While I knowz dat dere will b anudder meal in my future, I alwayz act likz I will never, ever, ever get anudder ting 2 eat o drink, ever again (A dramatic effect dat haz served me well 😉). I do not knowz wat it iz lik 2 b truly hungry o 2 b faced wit wut could b my last meal. Imagine da faith o da widow from da 1st Book of Kings who gave her last meal, her last morsel o bread 2 Elijiah. God rewarded her 4 her faith and trust so dat her jars o flour and oil would not run dry until da drought ended. We c the exact opposite in da scribes in Mark's Gospel who use dere position 4 promin, promina, ... 2 b honored and get stuff instead o building up dere faith. Dey r put 2 shame by da widow who placed-ed her last 2 coins as an offering 2 God. Now DAT iz faith! Do we haz dat kind o trust in God? Do we haz da type o faith 2 giv God our last bit o everyting, knowing dat He will not abandon us? We should hav no doubtz about it becausz da Lord feedz and nourishez us everytime we come 2 Mass. So have faith! Have trust! Have an extra snacko 4 a starving doggo? (See wut I did dere?)
God Bless!
Batman, da rectory doggo
