So many of you have enriched my life by participating here during the last year.
Thank you.
I will say one of my three Christmas Masses for all those who have been benefactors through donations or who have sent me items from the wish list.
I will also remember at the Memento of the Living all those who participate here, and at the Memento of the Dead those who have participated here and have passed away.
Peace to you, and joy, for a grace-filled Christmas.

A holy Christmas to you, Father.
A very happy and Holy Christmas to you, Father, from Trinidad, West Indies.
It is you that has enriched my life, and deepened by faith, and educated me about the great inheritance that is mine as a Catholic.
Merry Christmas Father Z!
Have a Merry Christmas, Fr. Z. But you didn’t tell us what you’re making for Christmas! Roast Beast, perhaps?
Happy Christmas Fr Z from Northern Ireland.
Thank you for your blog over the last year.

Happy Christmas (from Argentina)!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, FATHER!!!

Blessed Christmas to you Father and Happy Re-Birth Day! I will pray to St. Joseph for travel mercies so that if you are able to drive, as planned, the journey is a safe one.
A merry and blessed Christmas to you from Austria! And a heartfelt thank you for all the time and energy you put into this blog, which is one of the best sites of any kind on the Internet.
Thank you, Father Z. and a blessed Christmas to you. Your wide-ranging blog and, even more, your insights into Catholic Truth and treasures have been a tremendous solace to me in a year of bereavement. My poor prayers go up for you almost daily.
I, too, am snowed in, here in Battle Creek–mainly because the county lacks funds for tertiary roads in times of heavy snowfall. Thank God, His star shines everywhere.
Merry Christmas, Father! Thank you for the gift of Radio Sabina – I’ve listed to it quite often this Advent!
Thank you, Father, truly for all that you do. You have inspired me.
Merry Christmas from Lexington KY,
Chris
Dear Father Z, Thank you for your work on this Blog. I have recently discovered it and have enjoyed visiting and learning from you. You are an inspiration to me and to so many young Catholics like myself. Merry Christmas, God bless

I wish you a very happy and holy Christmas.

Thank you, Father, for enlightening our minds, re-enforcing our Faith and brightening our days. God bless you at Christmas and all through the New Year.

Every blessing for Christmas
A Blessed Christmas to you from Sydney Australia!
May you have a happy and holy Christmas and may the Holy Infant Jesus abundantly bless you in the New Year. Thank you so much for this blog. You will never know how much it means to many of us. Makes us feel not quite so alone in the desert.
Dear Fr, I pray that you receive abundant blessings this Christmas & in the New Year. We thank you more than you can ever realize.
Carol & Ray
Father Z – How I thank God for you! Through your work at COL you helped to prepare me for reception into God’s One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church six years ago. Through your diligence you helped me to know the difference between what is orthodox and reverent and proper, and what is heretical and trite and banal. Your ongoing work on this site and elsewhere continue to help me to grow in grace and virtue. God bless you richly during this Holy Season.
Merry Christmas, Father!
God bless you Father, for all you do! You’re an inspiration to so many. Merry Christmas!
Father Z…

Thank you very much for the remembrance at Mass: the best gift ever. And thank you for all you do. You are a comfort, a \”place\” to go. Merry Merry Christmas and every blessing of the Christ Child to you.

Dear Father Z
