Re I have been doing this and it is working wonderfully...:

Me too. I even talked with my priest about my concerns about Francis... his response was interesting. No defense of Francis; he just told me that all we can do is continue to focus on Christ and try to live as Christ did. He said if we all just keep focusing on Jesus, we will be okay.

It’s up to the Catholic laity now to carry the torch.
Jesus, I trust in You.

Good wisdom for all Christians.

Re Hong Kong protests:

At some point in the many days protesters have filled the streets, this Christian song became their anthem. It started with a group of Catholic students singing the song, Reuters reported. The students sang several Christian songs, with this one catching on with the crowd.

Look at this crowd. Very moving.

I spoke with a priest as well, he responded, "I know what you mean." You are right, it is up to us to pray the Church through the current crisis.
