I would also like to mention that we all must be vigilant in prayer for God's Will in these matters. Sometimes I think the foundations must be so shaken that all will seem lost - the edifice, crumbled. A continuation of the crucifixion, so that the resurrection is possible.

In every age of the Church there will be obscure births, a hidden and a public life, trials and crucifixions, resurrection and ascension. The whole of reality exists from Him, through Him, and towards Him: He is Alpha and Omega."
Exactly. It may seem strange, but to me: The above is what it is to be truly alive.
