.                         Catholics are blessed.  We Think Clearly enough to be in The One Church with Christ’s “keys”!

~

Question 1:  “What kind of a ‘Christian’ am I?”

Answer:  “The Bible says there is ‘one’ kind of ‘Christian’.  Today’s Reading includes Ephesians 4:1-7 and 11-13.  We are either among the ‘one’ group described by St. Paul, or,  we are not!”

~

Question 2:  “What ‘one’ people is the ‘one’ group’?”

Answer:  “Those who answer this one call’!   ‘.  .  to live in a manner worthy of the (one) call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity (oneness) of the (one) Spirit through the (one) bond of peace:  .  .  .’

~

Question 3:  “What do those in that ‘one’ group do?”

Answer:  “We are guided by the word ‘one’!  We listen to ‘.  .  one Body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call;  one Lord, one faith, one baptism;  one God and Father of all, Who is over all and through all and in all.’

~

Question 4:  “Can each ‘one’ of us be in God’s ‘one’ group?”

Answer:  “Yes!  ‘But grace was given to each (one) of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.'”

~

Question 5:  “How did Christ ‘measure’ out His ‘gift’ of ‘grace’ that everyone who dies as a Catholic is blessed to receive?”

Answer:  “We see the descending ranks of His ‘One’ Church!  ‘And He gave some as Apostles, others as prophets, others as evangelists, others as pastors and teachers, to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry, for building up the (one) Body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity (oneness) of faith and knowledge of The (One) Son of God, to mature manhood, to the extent of the full stature of Christ.’

~

Question 6:  “Is everyone on earth able to be in Jesus Christ’s  One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church’?”

Answer:  “We all have Free Will!  Every person can choose to Think Clearly enough to get these ‘keys’ from Jesus and His (One) Church!

‘And I say unto you. thou art Peter and on this (one) rock I build My (one) Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’

One God.  One Heaven.  One Church.  One set of ‘keys’.  It is ridiculous to not be Catholic!
