I generally don't make New Year's resolutions, but Antonio, Cardinal Bacci's meditation for the last day of the year began, 'The last day of the year has come. It should be a day of reckoning and of resolution', so I've decided to follow the good Cardinal's counsel.
My resolutions are quite simple, and they all boil down to working on my (sadly deficient) prayer life. They are:
1) To make two Holy Hours per week, one on Friday, and one on another day of the week.
2) To read through the entire Bible this year. I'll be using this reading plan, Read the Catholic Bible in a Year. I've got the plan on my laptop, my tablet, and my phone, so I can read it anywhere.
And 3) to say my Rosary every day. On days I don't say it during my Holy Hour, to say whilst walking for some much needed exercise. It will make my doctor happy!
These are the minimum. I also intend to work on saying my Office every day, and to work on 15 minutes of meditation each day, which might very well be on the Scriptures I read that day.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
