10 Signs of Hope

Sometimes it can be easy to get discouraged from "fighting the good fight" when we see some of the things that are happening in today's world. I was really glad to find this list in the National Catholic Register. For brevity, I just listed the ten things they listed. For more discussion of each, see the full article here

It is a helpful time to review some of the strong signs of hope in the Church today — signs of hope that simply weren't here 20, or even 10 years ago.

1. New Catholic Colleges.

2. Young Catholics.

3. Pro-Life Majority.

4. Renaissance of Religious Life.

5. "John Paul II" and "Benedict XVI" Priests.

6. Bishops' Increased Engagement.

7. Renewal of the Liturgy.

8. New Interest in Catholicism.

9. Confession's Comeback.

10. Eucharistic Adoration.

So, we can take heart. Christ is still the Lord of the universe, and we can be absolutely certain that sticking to his plan will win in the end.
