First, allow me to add my own, "Amen," to this piece. As with many of the posters on this thread, I, too, see in our current darkness the hope for a new dawn in the Church. In some respects, it's "Saturday Morning," or, maybe late Saturday afternoon, and we (and by "we" I mean Catholics faithful to the Magisterium of the Church) are huddling in the Upper Room waiting to see what comes next.

I can't speak for others on this thread, but for myself I now have a far greater appreciation for what the Apostles went through between Friday and Sunday. I've found myself wavering between despair, anger, sadness. But through it all, is faith. Faith that before too long we will discover the tomb is empty.(And maybe a few chancelries as well?)

The mystics and saints who will be the rays of light on this coming Sunday morning are with us even now. And we won't have to wait much longer to see them.

Truly, as the author above notes, we are a blessed generation.
