Abraham’s DNA was blessed with its most God-Obeying form in David. His faith in God led him to save his people from “Goliath”, whose DNA made him a giant among those who hated God and their neighbors.
After the victory that saved them from being raped, slaughtered, and enslaved by the Philistines, “The women of Israel came out from each of the cities of Israel to meet King Saul, singing, dancing, with tambourines, joyful songs… The women played and sang: “Saul has slain his thousands and David his ten thousands!” (1 Samuel 16:6-9. 19:1-7)
Their praise of David enraged Saul! “Saul was very angry and resentful of the song, for he thought: ‘They give David ‘ten thousands’, but only ‘thousands to me‘. All that remains for him is the kingship.’ And from that day on, Saul was jealous of David. Saul discussed his intention of killing David with his son Jonathan and with all his servants.”
Saul’s son, Jonathan, was blessed with enough of Abraham’s “higher DNA” to make peace between Saul and David: “David has helped you very much by his deeds. When he took his life in his hands and slew the Philistine, and the LORD brought about a great victory for all Israel through him, you were glad to see it. Why, then, should you become guilty of shedding innocent blood by killing David without cause.”
Why is that Bible Reading in the Catholic “Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children.”? It cures our minds of the awful “Confusion Headache” that leads those who refuse to “love God and their neighbors as themselves” to believe: “It is all right to shed the ‘innocent blood’ of unborn children.”
Catholics Connect the Old and New Testaments well enough to understand why Today’s Gospel Reading (Mark 3:7-12) ends with: “Whenever unclean spirits saw Jesus, they would fall down before Him and shout, ‘You are The Son of God!”
Those “unclean spirits” wanted the jealousy that made Saul want to kill David inspire established religions to kill Jesus before He could speak One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church Into Being with His Church-Creating Word to His First Catholic Pope: “And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
He Who Fulfilled over 300 Messianic Prophecies knew that “unclean spirits” were trying to provoke the demonic jealousy that led Saul to want to kill David. So, Jesus “warned them sternly not to make Him known.”
Those who understand are blessed to reach this conclusion! “If ‘unclean spirits’ obey Jesus, then I am going to ‘Be as Catholic as I can!’ I will join in God’s blessed ‘Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children’!”
