Someone asked me yesterday, “what’s the best thing you see happening in the Catholic Church right now?” It’s a great question to be asked because we live in a news cycle almost entirely predicated upon bad news. This is equally true in the Church today. Catholics have been beaten badly by the waves of a great storm, but May is a month which flows from the Mount of Transfiguration — and it’s a month in which we can reflect on the great mystery of God present and active right now in “real time.” May is also a month traditionally devoted to the Blessed Mother, and something to ask ourselves is: what good news is she bringing us in the midst of so much bad news? I’ll choose three Marian “news stories”: an increase in liturgical reverence for the Lord, an increase in conversion, and an increase in vocations.
