No, it's not the Boy Wonder's new catch phrase. Stay with me; I'll 'splain. But first, these messages...
If you're ever in Louisville, KY, I recommend stopping by St. Michael's (the link is a few posts below). A thriving parish with folks of all ages and from all walks of life. Very multi-ethnic, and the priest is no-nonsense when it comes to doing what the Church is called to do: to guide and direct our lives, and to save our souls (NOT to be an infrequently-attended social club, which is something he slammed several times in his homily today).
He also wished us a HOLY New Year, as opposed to a HAPPY New Year, for, "If you are holy, you will be happy." So Holy New Year to all of you; may Christ our God Who was circumcised on the eighth day bless you, through the holy prayers of His servant Basil the Great, whom we commemorate today.

Holy New Year to you and yours, I love that thought!
Philippa, you should move to Louisville. Fr. Alexander is almost always slamming something. I agree, it's a great parish.
Very appropriate - Holy New Year to you too! (and by coincidence, I drove through Louisville, KY earlier today on my 'road trip' from Dallas to Miamisburg, Ohio)
