The other night, at St. Agnes, it was snowing. It was quite lovely.
“This blog is rather 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


Beautiful picture! Happy New Year!
Beautiful! There’s something about falling snow that seems supernatural, like grace falling from heaven. Oh, how we miss those snow flakes down here in 80 degree Florida. But then again, no heating bills :-) By the way, I used to attend St. Agnes church in NYC where they had the Indult Latin Mass since the beginning. I miss that holy experience too.
Father: It’s snowing in St. Paul right now. Happy New Year!
The colors in the picture are beautiful–the purple is so beautiful with the warm glow of the church.
Happy New Year Father Z.

gorgeous!!
Did you take that photo, Father?
Yes, its probably closer to 85 or so here in Sarasota FL… with the warm front coming through this morning, the humidity is also about 99%… kinda like snow but without the accumulation on the ground!
An exquisite photo Father Z.
A happy and blessed New Year to you. Thank you for everything that you do for all of us wdtprs-ers.

FloridaJohn,
If you are in the SE Florida area, you are invited to attend Solemn First Vespers in the Classical Rite at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Palm Beach Gardens at 7:00. No snow (I too am missing it — a Buffalo native). Hope to see you there. It’s our schola’s first service.
Michael O’Connor: Thanks for the invite! Unfortunately I’m over in Lake Country (Tavares). Maybe another day! Here’s my e-mail:

Happy New Year!
The most beautiful image of a church in snow that I have ever seen. ;-)
When you produce this on Christmas cards next year, I would like a box. :-)
