In Today’s Reading, Catholics are blessed to read Isaiah 6:1-8 and see The Power of God so overwhelmingly that we see what a blessing it is to “Be Catholic!”
“In the year King Uzziah died (around 742 BC), I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, with the train of His garment filling the temple.” That may describe the clouds of angels, each of them a living, “angelic atom” in the cloud of living incense that is “the train of His garment”. More powerful angels in Heaven are described: “Seraphim were stationed above; each of them had six wings: with two they veiled their faces (So as not to be blinded by The Radiant Glory of God?), with two, they veiled their feet (So they would not be distracted by things on earth?), and with two, they hovered aloft (So they could focus on serving God?).”
“They cried one to the other, ‘Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD of hosts!'” That “Hidden Catholic Prophecy” connects to our use of the word “host” to describe the Catholic Communion wafer by Which & Whom Catholics receive God within themselves at every Catholic Communion celebrated by those blessed to understand the Prophetic Prophecies of Isaiah enough to “Be Catholic!” and literally receive That Holy Food from “The LORD of hosts” in obedience to The Call to Catholic Communion that Jesus repeated 14 times: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood, you do not have life in you.”
“All the earth is filled with His glory!” describes what Catholics see: “At the sound of that cry, the frame of the door shook and the house was filled with smoke.” The “frame” of every earthly “doorway” to truth is so “shaken” that only God’s House is filled with that “holy smoke”!
Catholic Communion continues to be Prophesied: ‘Then, one of the seraphim flew to me, holding an ember that he had taken with tongs from the altar. He touched my mouth with it and said, ‘See, now that this has touched your lips, your wickedness is removed, your sin purged.”
Catholics, and many Christians, see why The Prophet Isaiah was taken up to Heaven! He was the Living Answer to God’s Question:
“Then, I heard the Voice of The Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?” The word “I” recognizes the Oneness of God. God also blessed Isaiah to hear “The Hidden Catholic Prophecy” that would take form in The Catholic Teaching of One God in Three Persons by using the word:“us”. Catholics are blessed to see the word “us” should be spelled with a capital “U”, respectfully describing the “Us” Who Is The Holy Trinity.
May every Catholic be blessed to “Be Catholic!” and answer God’s Question, “Who will go for Us?” the same way Isaiah did: “Here I am, send me!”
Today’s Psalm 93:1,2,5 confirms the majestic wonder of God’s “garment” that Isaiah would see: “He is robed in majesty… in splendor robed… and girt about with strength.”
In Today’s “Alleluia,” The First Catholic Pope tells us in 1 Peter 4:14 how to see if we are good Catholics! “If you are insulted for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for The Spirit of God rests upon you.”
An Amazing Miracle! Jesus Christ, Himself, ordered His First Catholic Pope to tell us it is an eternal “blessing” to be “insulted” for “Being Catholic!”
Catholics ask ourselves a hard question! “If I am not Catholic enough to ‘be insulted for the name of Christ’, will I be pleasing to God at Judgment?”
~Today gets more interesting!~
Our Daily Catholic Reading includes Matthew 10:24-30. Jesus explicitly tells us we can only “Be Catholic!” if we keep our vanity under control. “Jesus said to His Apostles: ‘No disciple is above his teacher, no slave above his master. It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, for the slave that he become like his master.”
A long parade of vanities has confused the world with thousands of somewhat Christian groups that appeal to their donors’ vanity. Many do not realize they are being praised for putting themselves “above” Christ’s 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.”
Jesus lets us see that all of our self-serving errors are obvious to God: “Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known.
Then, He Who Fulfilled The Messianic Prophecies did give “Direct Orders” to all who are blessed to hear His call to “Be Catholic!” “What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather be afraid of The One Who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.”
Jesus reminds us, again, that God knows all: ‘Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even the hairs on your head are counted, so do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”
Then, the eternal fate of billions of souls is announced: “Everyone who acknowledges Me before others, I will acknowledge before My Heavenly Father.”
If that is not a good enough reason to “Be Catholic!”, this is! “But whoever denies Me before others, I will deny before My Heavenly Father.”
May all on earth be blessed to not die in “denial” of The Church-Creating Word of Jesus to His First Catholic Pope.
May all on earth be blessed to plead, even at our last moments: “Father, please forgive me for not respecting You, Your Prophets, Your Son, and Your Church enough to ‘Be Catholic!’ Please God, bless me with ‘the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven!’ and forgive the self-serving vanities that kept me from any of them: “Baptism, Confession/Absolution, Confession, Confirmation, Marriage, Healing, and obeying the Holy Orders” that You died to leave in living form on earth.
