As you think about shopping for Christmas… please remember me when shopping online. Thanks in advance. US HERE – UK HERE These links take you to a generic “catholic” search in Amazon, but, once in and browsing or searching, Amazon remembers that you used my link and I get the credit.

NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.

Maybe some beer for the parish priest for Christmas?
In other news, I’m strongly considering not making more Adventcazts. Stats are … not great. You just aren’t that interested.
In Toronto, Magnus and Wesley are tied. Magnus defeated Fabiano Caruana and Hikaru Nakamura on Sunday. Wesley So beat Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and Alireza Firouzja. Some scary chess was played. These guys are amazing. For my part I got my ChessUp board functioning in view of playing long distance with a priest friend, but the game didn’t materialize. Someday.
This board interfaces with chess.com and lichess and it stands on its own as a chess computer.
Lastly, today is a very lean day for subscribed monthly donors. VERY lean. If you can…
I hope decide to continue the Adventcatz Fr. I really enjoy it and I’m sure I can’t be the only one. The music is great too.
Father, Please don’t abandon the Adventcatz. It’s such a beautiful way to start the day.
Thank you Father Z for all that you do, it’s so very much appreciated! I’m sad to hear that you’re considering discontinuing the Adventcazts, they’ve been an integral part of my Advent preparation since you started making them.
I encourage all readers to listen in, it’s a perfect way to start your day!

Thanks for the Amazon reminder Father. Just finished out my gift shopping.
I hope that you continue to post these Father. I share these with my family and receive many positive comments from them.
Protestant ministers are probably not the intended audience and likewise I don’t listen daily. I have played the Sunday editions. I do hope you persist at least until this Sunday. I think there’s a particular practical genius at work in the idea of Gaudete Sunday and I know I’ll enjoy your exigesis.
Father, does using your Amazon link work for those of us living outside of the USA, as we get redirected to Amazon in our county, which for me is Australia?
