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

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.

A blessed Christmas everyone, most especially Father Z.
Felix Dies Nativitatis. Merry Christmas, Father Zuhlsdorf. A blessed and joyful day to you. Thank you for the great care for our souls that you have. Especially for always imploring us to go to Confession. Thank you many, many times over. May God bless you and the Blessed Virgin pray for you.

Merry Christmas to you too, Father. May God bless you in all that you do.
Merry Christmas Father and thanks for this blog, which is the first thing I read every morning as I sip my Mystic Monk coffee. I find that I depend on it to give me a balanced view of what is happening in the Church as well as the spiritual gifts such as the Advent casts,
Merry Christmas to you, Father, and to everyone!
Merry Christmas, Father, and thank you for the blessing of this blog. May God’s grace fill all our hearts; by the gifts of the Holy Spirit that He gives us through your ministry and that of all faithful priests, may we share the glory of Him Whose Nativity we celebrate today.
A very Happy and Holy Christmas to you Fr Z. I am very grateful for your year-round, wise, humourous, sensible and kind guidance, advice and teaching. I pray you will have some peace, relaxation and joy on this wonderful feast day!

My family and I are going to a wonderful nearby parish for Mass–a TLM with a lovely, talented choir and holy priests. (That’s a gift from Our Lord today, as we don’t go there on a regular basis!)
I will pray for all your intentions!
God bless you, Father. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas Father!
Merry Christmas Father.
Thank you Father. A Merry Christmas to you too!
Merry Christmas Father Z, and all you readers!
Dear Father Z. and all who partake of this wonderful BLOG: For a beautiful musical Christmas gift from our neighbors at the Abbey of Benediktbeuren in nearby Bavaria, might I direct you to the following link of the Bayerisches Rundfunk: http://www.br.de/fernsehen/bayerisches-fernsehen/import/audiovideo/weihnachtssingen-in-benediktbeuern-100.html .
From the Austrian Tirol I wish you a Gesegnete Weihnachten und ein glückliches neues Jahr!
A Blessed and Merry Christmas to you, good Father! Thank you for all you do. BTW, I went to confession at a FSSP parish yesterday. Wow, what a difference from the NO parish I usually go to. Father actually listened to my confession and had some wonderful insights to discuss with me. It was worth the long trip to the parish. I am definitely going back for more!
From one in the Trenches of the “Liturgy Wars,” a hearty thank you for all of your sage advice and excellent writing. I and my Latin Mass group appreciate the light you cast in sometimes dark times in the Church. Merry Christmas and God Bless Father Zuhlsdorf!
Merry Christmas, Father Z!
Christmas card on the way in the post. I put four Australian Christmas stamps on it, which I think added up to the right amount …
Christ is born! Glorify Him!
…we are wishing you are very happy Christmas season and a blessed 2015!
A Blessed Christmas Father and a Happy New Year. Thank you for your blog. You are on my prayer list.
Merry Christmas to all!
Merry Christmas Fr. Z. Thank you for all you do!
Merry Christmas.
So to you, rev’d Father!
