A Happy and Blessed Christmas to you all and sincere thanks for your prayer for my return to health.
Now let us offer prayer and penance, our sickness and pain, our fears and worries for the health of Our Holy Mother the Church afflicted on every side by wicked men.

And also to you. I was thinking of calling you today to wish you a merry Christmas because I hadn't see your blog for a while. I hope you are well. Though I am here in New York I am intending the loving energies of the Divine Trinity to reach you and enrich gratitude for the Incarnation of the Logos, Our Christ.

Continued prayer and support Father Ray. Through the intercession of the Immaculate heart of Mary may Jesus deluge you with superabundant blessings on this most holy of days.

A very blessed Christmas season to you, Fr. Blake. I am hoping you will be of good cheer. As a heart nurse, I know how important it is (for your heart) to be positive, even in such serious times. But the serious times are also positive, as it is forcing so many of us to face our Faith more intently than ever before, and embrace it more firmly than ever. And it is priests such as yourself who help and encourage us to do so. God bless you!
