There’s no way we can go back to anything resembling “normal” post-quarantine (assuming there will be only one, with a novel virus that we know desperately little about) — this apocalypse is simply drawing back the curtains and showing us how unsustainable this all is.
I think, on some level, more and more of us are realizing that. It won’t magically be normal on May 1. Or August 1. Or beyond. This is going to change things.
And that's the thing about change: it’s not necessarily our species’ strong suit. It’s scary. It’s unknown. It’s stressful. It’s chaotic.
And if anyone says they know what will take place, they are a charlatan of the highest order.

At #EasterVigil in #Nicaragua, @silviojbaez tells people: "The historical moment that our country is living, tinged with tears and blood and with such an uncertain horizon, seems more full of sadness, pessimism and death than life and hope" (CNS photo/Reuters) 1/5 
This is last Easter in Nicaragua for awhile for @silviojbaez. He has faced increasing death threats and #PopeFrancis asked him to come to the Vatican. At vigil: "As believers enlightened by the Risen One, we cannot fall into fatalism or let fatigue or despair overpower us." 2/5
"Let us not settle for living in a social sepulcher. Let us dream of a new country & commit ourselves to building it, enlightened by the paschal faith, supported by the power of the Lord who lives in our history." @silviojbaez #EasterVigil. Thx to @carmelitequotes translation 3/5
