Thank you all very much for reading what I write. I started this blog on something of a whim and thought that the title "The Hermeneutic of Continuity" would be an amusingly arcane indication of the line I wanted to take. The blog rapidly became an apostolate and, as I commented once, something on which I have to examine my conscience.The stats depend on certain assumptions made by the hit counter that is used. I'm happy to use Site Meter because it is quite commonly used in the blogosphere. Bloggers tend to value the "Visit" count because most people only go to one page - the "hit count" for the blog (page views) is now 1,854,440. The average per day is currently 1812 visits or 3259 page views.
On Saturday 7 February, there will be a Missa Cantata at Blackfen (or Solemn High Mass if there are a couple of other clerics available) at 10.30am. Afterwards there will be a little party in the Hall to celebrate the million visits. All of you are most welcome. If you are coming, it would be helpful if you could send an email to rosary@freeuk.com with "Million party" in the subject line; but if you forget or are free at the last minute, come anyway.
(Here are the instructions for Getting to Blackfen)

Sorry, another comment !
Congratulations, Father.
I wish I could attend the celebration, but I don't live anywhere near your part of the country.
If I may, this evening I will drink to your health and the continuing success of the blog which has given me such great pleasure.

Dear Fr.,
Jubilations, felicitations and Congratulations!
In Christo,

Fr Tim modestly writes - 'Thank you all very much for reading what I write'.
On the contrary Father, we your readers thank you for devoting your time and effort into what you rightly call an apostolate. Your blog is a superb teaching medium and your many posts on so many and varied issues concerning our glorious Catholic Faith have been enlightening, illuminating, challenging and sometimes most entertaining!
I firmly believe that your readers are all the more informed in matters of the Faith for taking time to read your posts on the Hermeneutic of Continuity. Congratulations on passing the million mark! Perhaps the Vatican should send you a certificate.
Just imagine what St Paul could have done with access to the internet and a lap-top!!!! The mind boggles.
Congratulations on your one millionth visitor!
For what it's worth, personally I enjoy your blog very much. You have a good perspective, and fortunately there is lots of that out there. I'm glad yours is one of those that I follow.
Peace.
Congrats!
Congratulations on your first million visitors, Fr.!
Congratulations on reaching the million visits mark, and I am honored to be one of them.
Since I visit frequently during the week, I account for many in that million.
You should really have a party when you get you one-millionth unique visitor. That would be an achievement.
Congratulations
Ad multos annos, Father!
New it was imminent!!! Many congrats..visiting..you never know! lol
Congratulations! Please keep blogging - it's a great apostolate. Sorry I can't attend the Mass and party...........a little too far to come from 'Asia Minor'.
Cappadocian sister.
Congratulations, Father! It's a wonderful blog.
Wow, congratulations Father! I'm happy to be one in a million!
Congratulations, Father - you certainly have a wonderful blog, always my first port of call! As someone who has just started blogging, I would be delighted to get to ten hits never mind your mind-boggling number!
Thank you for all your time on this, and for keeping so many people well informed.
Congrats! Father.
We look forward to more.
If there weren't this big pond between us, I'd drop over for Holy Mass.
Congratulations, Father, on reaching this milestone!
All the best for the Mass and celebrations.
Congratulations, Father.
Thank you for your wonderful blog. I am using Site Meter too, but I think it will be a loooooong time till my blog will hit 1,000,000!!!
The celebration is too far from my home in Vancouver, Canada. But I will certainly rejoice with you. God bless.
I offer my congratulations also. Well deserved!
Sorry not to be able to join in at Blackfen. Australia is just a little too far.

Congratulations, Father!
Congratulations and may the Lord continue to bless your apostolate.
Dear Father Tim
I suspect that I may well have been the 999,999th visitor to the Hermeneutic of Continuity i.e....
vesper has left a new comment on the post "Replies to Kmiec's attack on Catholic bloggers":
Surely Christ is at the centre of the Catholic Blogosphere just as he is with everything else Catholic.
Left/Right,Black/White,Masculine/Feminine we each navigate our own paths to that centre.
Thank you for allowing me to journey here on your Blog.

In numerology,999 is the point of transformation,an inverted 666.Is there a 999,999 consolation prize?
Answers please,before 9th September 2009,National 999 Day :-)
Rosa Mystica ora pro nobis!
Fr Tim,
Many congratulations
Dear Father Tim
Congratulations!
Yes - you are right to say that your blog has been as apostolate and we have been very grateful for it on many occasions.
Here's to the next million!
Yours in Christ
Alan and Angeline
Sorry I can't make the party; I would have loved to be there but it clashes with my son's 18th birthday on the same day. However, I shall be in the vicinity on Friday the Thirteenth (of Feb) if there were to be another gathering then?
