Friend, perhaps the "some of them that stand here", and who "stand here" now, are people of conscience who have, in a real world sense, a sense of where they have come from and where they are going? The moment of "standing" is in the here and now; the ever authentic sense of conscience speaks to place in the here and now -- that is, how we are Christlike, Eucharist to one another -- so it seems to me.
