It’s always interesting to see what people hold as their “hits” and “misses” for any given year.
You can see Father Gordon MacRae’s very interesting list by clicking on the picture above.
Just to say, I don’t even know what Downton Abbey is.
Just to say, at the bottom of his article, you’ll see an invitation to thank Vincenzo.
One of my hits this year is to have come to know Father Gordon and Pornchai.
One of my misses this year is so nefarious that I can’t even voice it. Yikes! Anyway…
Have you even thought of hits and misses?
It’s a good exercise for thanksgiving in whatever way.
Accompany me, Father George David Byers, S.S.L., S.T.D., as I begin life as a Catholic Priest-Hermit by choice. Holy Souls Hermitage is dedicated to the sanctification of my fellow priests, bishops, deacons & seminarians going through the purgatory of this life or the next. Prayer and sacrifice go up, of course, for both Benedict XVI and the next Successor of Saint Peter. 
In a roundabout way I came upon your website because of a book of Father Groeschel’s that I read. So, reading the book (which helped me to change profoundly) plus finding your website were good things that happened in 2012.
