We cannot be among the “living” if we reject The Life-Giving Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.

Question 1: “Do The Psalms tell us that Catholics live in ‘The Land of The Living’?”
Answer: “The Psalms 27:1, 4, 13-14 tell us what Catholics believe!
‘I believe that I shall see the good things of The Lord in the land of the living.’
~
First Reading: ‘The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear? The LORD is my life’s refuge; of whom should I be afraid?’
Response: ‘I believe that I shall see the good things of The Lord in the land of the living.’
~
Second Reading: ‘One thing I ask of The LORD; this I seek: To dwell in the house of The LORD all the days of my life, that I may gaze on the loveliness of the LORD and contemplate His temple.’
Response: ‘I believe that I shall see the good things of The Lord in the land of the living.’
~
Third Reading: ‘I believe that I shall see the bounty of The LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD with courage; be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD.’
Response: ‘I believe that I shall see the good things of The Lord in the land of the living.’”

Question 2: “Why do only Catholics ‘see the good things of The Lord in the land of the living’?”
Answer: “Only Catholics obey 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.’
The Bible is clear! Catholic priests are the only people to whom Jesus gave The Power to Preside over The Miracle of Transubstantiation.
Catholic Communion is The Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. That Holy Food gives us the ‘life’ that lets Catholics ‘see the good things of The Lord in The Land of The Living’!”
