312 In time we can discover that God in his almighty providence can bring a good from the consequences of an evil, even a moral evil, caused by his creatures: “It was not you”, said Joseph to his brothers, “who sent me here, but God. . . You meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive.”
178 From the greatest moral evil ever committed – the rejection and murder of God’s only Son, caused by the sins of all men – God, by his grace that “abounded all the more”,179 brought the greatest of goods: the glorification of Christ and our redemption.
But for all that, evil never becomes a good.
–Catechism of the Catholic Church
Ok, so we know this, right? As Catholic Christians we know that God who is all Good…doesn’t orchestrate bad things to happen, but we also know that He does indeed permit them at times when a greater good can come through it. Our job…that one thing that has been assigned to us, does not change according to changing circumstances.
Luke 10 41“Martha, Martha, the Lord replied, “you are worried and upset about many things. 42But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”
We are to consistently and faithfully put our Christian faith into practice. Living in the present moment, watching for moments of grace, listening for His voice, and acting as He calls us to.
