Fr. Z is pretty tired today. I am just checking in.

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful. Zelle and Wise are better, but PayPal is convenient.
A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?
For a one time donation...
To donate monthly I prefer Zelle because it doesn't extract fees. Use

Loading ...This is really useful when travelling… and also when you aren’t and you need backup internet NOW! I use this for my DMR “Zednet” hotspot when I’m mobile. It’s a ham radio thing.
If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

Well, after you’re done being tired – let us know how you spent your Christmas!!!
Father: Pour a snifter of Hennessey, light a big one and put your feet up in front of the fireplace.
Assuming you aren’t doing that already….ha-ha. Wait, who am I talking to? Like I need to tell you how to relax?
Merry Christmas.
I can’t wait to see your posts on the Feasts, Memorials and Solemnities during the Octave of Christmas.
How do you say “ZZZZZZZZ” in Latin?
Merry Christmas Father!
Brian Day loves it when people refer to themselves in the third person. :)
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Father!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, Father!
Brian,
LOL! Reminds me of the old Bo Jackson “Bo Know” commercials. With all of the ground Fr. Z covers, we could make a pretty cool “Fr. Z Knows” set of commercials: “Fr. Z knows Latin”, Fr. Z knows St. Augustine”, Fr. Z knows liturgy”, Fr. Z knows gourmet meals” etc. :) :)
Fr. Zuhlsdorf,
Will you be saying any masses at St. Agnes this week? I often go to the 5:15pm. It would be great to meet you.
Paul M.
I think Jerry Seinfeld had a routine (at least on his TV show) about someone who always referred to himself in the third person.
Yeah, we need a set of Fr. Z commercials!
Fr. Z has returned to The Sabine Farm!
I can relate. When people ask me what I got for Christmas, I told them 11 hours of sleep later that night. It was like having two Sundays in a row at the parish. With one of the Masses being around midnight, that just made it a 1-2 punch. :)
Priest,
Blog!

“Fr. Z has returned to The Sabine Farm!”
I hear this in the same voice as “Elvis has left the building”.
Will the Z-cam be running this time?
