Καθολικός διάκονος end of the year round-up

I have to be honest, 2013, as exciting as it has been in many ways, is a year I am not sad to see end. I understand all the problems with the calendar, the way way we mark time, but a 365-day year (366 every fourth year) is the way I am accustomed to framing time. Plus, I am always looking for a new beginning.

Below are 12 posts for this past year, one for each month, that I thought worth passing along towards the end of the year. I have no developed method for determining these, apart from looking back over the year, scrolling through, and thinking, "Yes, worth drawing attention to!" I never include homilies and I am disinclined to choose the really popular posts, or those few that are picked for publication elsewhere. I figure all of those pieces have received (perhaps more than) their due.

I am interested in hearing from one or both of my readers as to which post, or posts, that appeared here on Καθολικός διάκονος that stand out for you at the end of the year.
