For each one of us, the important question is, or should be, not how many will be saved, but rather, shall each of us be saved. The Council of Trent, quoting Saint Augustine, says: “God never commands the impossible. But he warns us to do what we can, and to ask of Him the grace to accomplish what we of ourselves cannot do, and He aids us to fulfill what He commands.” What we know for sure is that God gives us what we need to go to Heaven. What would be the point of arguing about the number of the elect while we are not even working to become one of them? One day we will know the number. We had better know it, being in heaven rather than in hell. May Our Lady, acting always as a vigilant mother, help us to keep the Grace of God and to arrive safely in Heaven.
