WOW…

Remember what Our Lady said at Fatima?

“In the end, my immaculate heart will triumph”
 
What did St.Augustine say…our hearts are restless until they rest in you, God. That’s what is happening here. Thank you God.
 
I guess I am only mildly surprised. Mikail Gorbachev repeatedly demonstrated, while in office, that he was very much an individual - someone willing to step outside traditional Soviet practice.

And, while in office, he formally granted tolerance for the Russian Orthodox Church, overturning 70 years of Soviet suppression.

Gorbachev is deeply patriotic, and Christianity (particularly Orthodox Christianity) is a strong tradition in Russian culture. In embracing his nation, he embraces its faith, too.
 
Let us thank our Lord our God for this wondeful news. On today, Good Friday, let us remember that our Lord Jesus Christ would have done died if only it had to be for just one soul.
