May all who have let themselves be led away from The Catholic Church be blessed to see Today’s “Hidden Prophecy” predicts them in Hosea, 14:2-10!
“Thus says the LORD: Return, O Israel, to the LORD, your God; you have collapsed through your guilt. (That is a “Hidden Prophecy” teaching us that disobedience to God ruins many lives. Then, Hosea tells us how to rebuild their Salvation: “Take with you words, and return to the LORD; Say to Him, ‘Forgive all iniquity, and receive what is good, that we may render as offerings the bullocks from our stalls.'”
Catholics can see the universal meaning of “Assyria” in this “Hidden Prophecy” that tells us every power and activity based on glorifying human efforts is doomed! “Assyria will not save us, nor shall we have horses to mount;…” (May every person on earth be blessed to reject every “Assyria” and the self-worship that keeps so many souls from riding to Heaven!)
Hosea then tells us how to be saved! “We shall say no more, ‘Our god,’ to the work of our hands; for in You the orphan (That word, “orphan” is another “Hidden Prophecy” describing every person on earth who does not become One with The Father, Son, and Holy Trinity through the blessing of Catholic Communion.) finds compassion.”
Then, the Prophet Hosea predicts what God would do for Catholics who returned to The Faith: “My wrath is turned away from them. I will be like the dew for Israel: he shall blossom like the lily; He shall strike root like the Lebanon cedar, and put forth his shoots… they shall blossom like the vine and his fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon.”
That “wine of Lebanon” is a “Hidden Prophecy” of the “bread and wine” of Catholic Communion that allows Catholics to renew our connection with the Living Body and Blood of Christ at every Catholic Mass since the Last Supper, 2,000 years ago.
The Words of Every Prophet in the Old Testament are summed up in Today’s Verse Before the Gospel! “‘Repent, says The Lord. ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.'”
Then, a “Hidden Prophecy” about the hope that may be found in every form of Protestantism is predicted in Mark 12:28-34!
One of the early Protestants among the “scribes” asked Jesus how to be saved. Jesus told everyone who would ever live on earth what to do! “Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love The Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.”
Then, He Who Fulfilled the Prophecies made His Second Commandment clear: “‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
Then, Today’s “Hidden Prophecy” for all Protestants is made clear when the “scribe” agreed with Jesus by saying that those two Commandments “are worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
Jesus gave him, and us, His “Hidden Prophecy” describing all Protestants! “You are not far from The Kingdom of God.”
May all be blessed to let the “Hidden Prophecies” in Today’s Reading bless us to obey The Only Church-Creating Word that He Who Fulfilled the Prophecies Spoke to His First Catholic Pope and be closer than “not far” from getting these “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” for our immortal souls!
“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.”
May every soul on earth be blessed with the Seven Catholic Sacraments: Baptism, Confession/Absolution, Communion, Confirmation, Healing, and Marriage. Those blessings are provided by those blessed with the Holy Orders followed by Christ’s Catholic priests and religious for the past 2,000 years. They give their lives to help those who “return to The Lord, Your God” at Every Catholic Mass!
