...and goodbye

For various reasons, I've decided that this is a good time to stop blogging. The blog itself, of course, continues with the other contributors. I've greatly enjoyed blogging and have been enriched by interacting with you all.

Catholic blogs are incredibly diverse and can be entertaining, informative, profound, prayerful and inspiring. I don't know whether I've managed any of these, but I hope in some small way I have been able to achieve an objective that I think underlies all of these blogs: to help ourselves and our readers to grow closer to Jesus Christ. You will remain very much in my prayers and I thank you for your continuing prayers for me. May God the Father continue to bless and protect you. May the Holy Spirit continue to inspire your blogging and your life as you keep your eyes firmly fixed on Christ.
