You certainly deserve a break. I've never seen such a prolific writer and a consistently good one at that. Peaceful blessings.

Do enjoy the octave of Christmas and the holy 12 days as well (to every one). We will greet you again on the flipside. Ave Maria!

Merry Christmas, Mr. Jackson.

I didn't even know you until but a few months ago, after which HiE quickly became a go-to for me.

Not to tempt you to vanity ; ) but your analysis and writing are consistently beyond exceptional, searingly incisive and smooth-flowing, with just the right dash of wit to boot. As food for thought, HiE is a veritable Thanksgiving dinner, every day.

Happy New Year; Viva Cristo Rey!

Dear Professor Jackson: Yes, indeed, fewer people I know are more deserving of a real break than YOU! I say this knowing that countless others and I will be deprived of your knowledge and insights until after Epiphany. Somehow we must survive, though it will not be easy. Thank you for all the energy and info you pour into your work. Believe me, you are making a difference in Catholic thinking and direction. You will remain in my prayers. servus, fr. charles t. murr
