I agree that life must go on, and that's the most important principle for the laity. Not to think "oh the world's going end, nothing to do but wait for the chastisement". That's a totally wrong mentality. We must make the effort to discern and do God's Will for each of us, and be content to surrender to His Will whatever it is; and seek to become holier day by day, to reach the perfection God wills for us all.
But for Traditional Bishops and Priests, even more important, Tradition must go on. And it is absolutely fatal for Traditional Clergy to give in to the let's-just-wait-for-the-chastisement mentality. Meanwhile, Fr. Therasian sent an email just yesterday about the Society's work for about 88 orphans in India, to care for them, and raise them in the Faith, with love for Christ our King, and our holy Mother Church. The vocations of tomorrow don't grow on trees and they are not going to fall from heaven. They must be nourished and nurtured first in good Catholic Families, and second in orphanages and schools run by Traditional communities, and in many other ways as well.
We see abundant good fruits from Summorum Pontificuм and Universae Ecclesiae and at least the partial liberation of the Tridentine Mass hardly 12 years ago, in response to that which His Excellency Bishop Fellay prudently requested from the Roman Authorities.
"This past year, I have been doing a National Study on the TLM only parishes in the USA. Currently, there are around 70 of these but they are exploding in numbers with each passing year because the TLM priestly vocations are outpacing Novus Ordo priestly vocations by more than 7 to 1. My preliminary numbers are exceeding my initial expectations. There is a huge wave transforming the Catholic landscape and it is largely being ignored by the Catholic leadership. I can now say what I suspected last year. The Novus Ordo is dying and it will be replaced by the Vetus Ordo sooner than anyone had foreseen, but certainly by 2050 the TLM will be the dominant liturgical practice once again."
https://liturgyguy.com/2018/10/08/vocations-foundations/ So, here you have a mainstream Priest, Fr. Donald Kloster, projecting based on vocations the TLM is spurring from TLM only parishes, that the True Mass will become dominant by 2050.
God may very well intervene even before that, and many prophesies ask us to pray that the days may be shortened, and the Triumph comes soon. But this is the work that must go on. There may be at least 10,000 Mass locations already in the world where faithful would be thrilled to have the Traditional Mass every week Sunday or even daily if possible. But who is interested in doing what is necessary for that? Archbishop Lefebvre always said an Army of Priests will be necessary to do all that is needed for Catholic Restoration. That is the real question we have to face and answer properly for ourselves. God will end the crisis, but we have to do our part, which He is expecting us to do daily, in prayer and sacrifice, and co-operation with His Will. Otherwise, victory will be delayed, and by our own fault.
