We will all wait. We still have the Sacraments and our own souls to guard. I pray for Holy Priests and I pray for those who aren't. Once again Holy Mother the Church is the scene of great battles. This isn't the first age when that is so, I doubt it will be the last. Gov. Keating may be the instrument of a miracle, I pray for that. Nonetheless, the composition of his commission is such that it will take a miracle I think.
