St. Paul gives his fellow Catholics this truth about the “treasure” that is our “soul” in 2 Corinthians 4:7-15: “Brothers and sisters: We hold this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing power may be of God and not from us.”
What did Jesus do for those who would obey The Church-Creating Word of Jesus to His First Catholic Pope: “And I say to you thou art Peter and on this rock I shall build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”?
Then, St. Paul tells us about every Catholic’s life on earth: “We are afflicted in every way, but not constrained; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed;”
Catholics know that by receiving Holy Communion from our Catholic priests, we are “always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body.”
Catholics meaningfully understand: “For we who live are constantly being given up to death for the sake of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.”
St. Paul tells Catholics we are blessed with Heaven: “So death is at work in us, but life in you (Catholics!). Since, then, we (Catholics!) have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, I believed, therefore I spoke, we (Catholics!) too believe and therefore speak, knowing that The One Who raised The Lord Jesus will raise us (Catholics!) also with Jesus and place us (Catholics!) with you in His presence.”
Then, St. Paul tells us why God’s Creation Program has been operating for 13 trillion light-years in the vastness of time and space: “Everything indeed is for you (Catholics!), so that the grace bestowed in abundance on more and more people may cause the thanksgiving to overflow for The Glory of God.”
May God bless all people to understand and see why: “I should be Catholic and among those who ‘overflow with abundant grace for The Glory of God.’”
