Merry Christmas everyone!
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

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.

Merry Christmas, Fr. Z! I was at the Basilica of the National Shrine in the late afternoon, before visiting a friend who is recovering at the National Rhab Hospital after being hit by a car. The Shrine was actually kind of cozy and warm–lots of families. Peaceful. Prayful.
God bless all our care-givers in hospitals and such. May they know and give the peace and compassion of Christ.
A most blessed and grace-filled Christmas season be yours, Father Z!
