Oh, I was just joking, you know. You are right, of course, and your friends were blessed. Incidentally, I don't think Luficer was anywhere near ... the people were cleansed by the rigorous Lent of passions, and their inquities washed with tears of the Great (Holy) Week, and the Paschal Eucharist. Luficer was out of a job on that day!
That aside, isn't it interesting the working of the Holy Spirit. There it was,1965, the year Vatican Two closed. And all around it seemed that radical revolution was in the air. And, unnoticed by the world, at the Pontifical Oriental Institute, the Holy Spirit was quietly at work in the minds and hearts of great men capable of great things.
Doesn't it make you appreciate with wondrous gratitude that right now,in some obscure,unknown part of the world, in the hearts and minds of men unnoticed and unknown by the world,how it is ineluctable reality that the Holy Spirit is working with cooperative wills to silently and successfully revivify our Church.
Our Church and Faith is not dying. It is ever being revivified and renewed by great men cooperating with the Holy Spirit.
That truth alone is bracing enough so that we ought never despair. We have won. We are winning. We will always win. Our enemies have lost. Our enemies are losing. Our enemies will always lose.
