“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

Merci beaucoup, Monsieur l’Abbé.
Thanks Father! I remember once I visited the Benedictine monastery here in Mission, BC. At the end of the evening prayer and reflections, Father Abbot would give his blessing to everyone with the sprinkling of Holy Water. It’s always nice to get a blessing before bed!
Thanks Father :-)
Thank you Father, and may God bless you today and always.
Who sneezed?
Dominus Vobiscum Padre
And you, too, Father.
Thank you, Father!
Thank you, Father, may God Bless you as well!!!
Thank you Father, may God bless you too.
Thanks, Father, I’ve never received a priest’s blessing via the Internet. Does that make it a ‘virtual’ blessing? :)
Thank you Father.
[I remember my mother admonishing me in my youth when I returned a priest’s ‘God bless you’ with “you too”. Apparently the unconsecrated aren’t supposed to bless back, its impertinent. This sounds right to me. What do you think?]
Thank you, Father.
Thank You! A blessing is appropriate right now as we begin an important liturgical initiative at our parish this next week! An uphill climb to be sure, but well worth it for the view at the top!
Thank you Father.
I’ve also heard that only the priest can bless, therefore I will say thanks and continue to pray for you and ask the Lord to continually bless you and your ministry.
Pater, habeo gratias.
Thank you Father. In Texas they say, Bless your pea pickin heart! Let the word heart roll off your tongue for about 3 seconds.
Thank you, gracias, xie-xie nin, Father
Sounds like the short simple emails my mom sends from time to time, which I try to never shrug off.
Thank you Father, may God bless you too.
And may He bless you too, Father Z!
We love you and all our good priests!
Thank you Father. I cherish every priestly blessing I get.
Thank you, Father.
May He also keep, guard, and protect you Reverend Father, especially during this Year for Priests.
Benedicat te omnipotens Deus
Thank you Father. When I was a altar boy my saintly pastor would give us a special blessing after Mass. My two boys were never as blessed. I wish I could remember the words,it was different. Thank you Father for being a Priest and all you do for our holy mother the church.
JohnW: When I was a altar boy my saintly pastor would give us a special blessing after Mass.
I believe it’s still true to this day, that after every TLM, immediately after processing from the altar into the sacristry, the altar boys kneel for the priest’s blessing.
Thank you.
thank you Father. It was just the little boost I needed today. You’re always in my prayers, as are all the great priests I know. We love you all. No Priest, no sacraments, thank you.
I’ve been at Masses where the priest, in response to “and also with you”, would add “thank you!” to which –not to be outdone– I’ve always wanted to shout out, “You’re welcome”
Anyway, thank you (or “back at you!)
Thank you, Father. I pray that you and your good works continue to enrich our days.
Thank you, Fr. Z, and may God bless you as well!
Thank you, Father. A blessing is always welcome!
Thank you, Father. I certainly need it at the moment.
Amen!
Thank You Father, God Bless You Too.
Well, thank you, Father! I needed this today!
May God bless you and be with you also!
Thank you Father.
…and you, Father and God bless all here.
Thank you, Father.
Thank you Father very much
