Today’s Catholic Reading includes Peter 4:7-13, and Seven Simple Reasons to “Be Catholic!”
1. The First Catholic Pope describes reality in one sentence: “Beloved: The end of all things is at hand.” Catholics are “Beloved” enough to understand and make “The Catholic Connection” between The Loving Programmer and His First Catholic Pope before His Creation Program is “deleted”, and we go to Final Judgment.
2. The First Catholic Pope then tells us how to spend our remaining time in The Creation Program: “Therefore, be serious and sober-minded so that you will be able to pray.”
3. Peter also tells us how to pray properly! “Above all, let your love for one another be intense, because love covers a multitude of sins.”
4. Peter then tells us how to save our immortal souls on the way to God’s Judgment: “Be hospitable to one another without complaining.” Catholics re-read that most difficult of commands and strive to “Be hospitable without complaining“!
5. Every Replicating Free-Will Program in The Creation Program is told how special we are! “As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied Grace.” False religions tell us to use our “gifts” to serve ourselves!
6. Then, The First Catholic Pope tells us: “Whoever preaches, let it be with words of God; whoever serves, let it be with the strength that God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to Whom belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen”.
Every Catholic is blessed to “glorify” He Who Fulfilled the Messianic Prophecies by obeying His Only Church-Creating Word!
“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.'”
7. Catholics are blessed to see that was Prophesied by Today’s Psalm 96:10-13, “The Lord comes to judge the earth”, and by Today’s Alleluia from John 15:16 that describes how The Loving Programmer has blessed Catholics for the past 2,000 years: “‘I chose you from the world to go and bear fruit that will last.’, says The Lord.”
