That means the year ahead is an auspicious time for setting one’s spiritual house in order, is it not?

Today in Naples the blood of St. Januarius again liquefied.

Thank you! You can always find a news story about it on the internet. I check the interwebs every year to make sure it liquefied on schedule.

St. Januarius, pray for us!!

It's interesting to note that this miracle continues to take place in the context of the New Church and the New Mass - as do countless other miracles such as the incorrupt bodies of the saints.

There are those who criticise Bishop Williamson for his promotion of Eucharistic miracles in the Novus Ordo saying that it could not possibly happen because God would be thereby giving His approbation to the modernist changes in the Church. I'm talking here about those who admit the possibility of valid Masses and sacraments in the New Church. Yet in this regard, it would be no different from all of these more ancient miracles that continue to bring souls to God. I understand their difficulty, I understand their reasoning, yet this miracle of St Januarius confronts us: God's ways are not our ways.

St. Januarius was a trad bishop. The miracle of his blood glorifies St. Januarius, and God, not the heretic who is holding the vial of his blood, or the institution that that heretic represents.

God is doing nothing to promote the new mass, the new church or modernism by allowing the great miracle to occur. 

And then there was Bergoglio's "half liquidation" in 2015:

Hmmm... what to make of that?
But it only stands to reason, right, that God would withdraw some of these graces as a punishment for infidelity and downright malice. To show His displeasure with what is happening in these churches. And surely He does to some extent.
Yet still we see miracles. It is curious don't you think? Ultimately, I can only conclude "who can know the mind of God?".

Not at all.  God's greatest chastisement is when He stops correcting us, when He withdraws.  It's like when you have an unruly child whom you try to correct repeatedly, but then at some point give up and say, "he's going to do what he's going to do."  It's according to the old maxim that God chastises those whom He loves.

Precisely. How could He? Yet the reality is that this is a genuine miracle occurring in the context of all that. Do not miracles draw souls to the truth?

The blood of St. Januarius is the blood of a truly Catholic bishop, of a saint and martyr. The miracle of his blood is a (apparently) permanent institution that God appears to will to continue indefinitely, maybe until the end of the world. It vindicates St. Januarius and his sanctity and martyrdom, not the person holding the glass vial of his blood. Just because heretics have obtained possession of his blood doesn't mean they are vindicated when it liquefies.

You might as well claim that if heretics obtain the possession of an incorrupt body of a saint, that the body would have to immediately begin to decay when they get the keys to the church. Or that a eucharistic miracle on display, such as a host that turned to flesh, would have to turn back into the appearance of bread if heretics get possession of it. None of this follows. Those miracles represent, respectively, the sanctity of the saint and the blessed sacrament, not the person possessing them.

you have to come up with an explanation as to how there can be still so many genuine miracles that are not in traditional chapels, but in the churches that are in the possession of the innovators.

No, there aren't. The people who vouch for the authenticity of these things have no credibility.
