Every day, we see stories about people finding riches by following some sort of treasure map. There are two kinds of treasure maps. One leads to earthly riches. The greatest treasure is eternal joy in Heaven. That’s why Catholics follow: The Catholic Treasure Map for Souls.
He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies was clear: “If you obey My commands, you are My friends.” Only His friends have access to “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.” Those keys were given to The Only Church He Founded by saying: “Verily, verily 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.”
What instruction to that eternal treasure did Jesus give us most often? They are bizarre! He repeated, FOURTEEN TIMES: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
There is only one way to follow His instructions to The Treasure in Heaven! We must do what is necessary to receive Catholic Communion. He ordained His First Catholic Bishops and all the Catholic Priests who followed them with The Power to Preside over The Miracle of Transubstantiation. In that Great Miracle of every Catholic Mass since The Last Supper, bread and wine become The Body and Blood of Christ.
Many are too vain to follow The Catholic Treasure Map for Souls. “I can get to Heaven because I am a good person.”
They miss an important step. To be among His friends, we must have our sins forgiven. How do we get rid of ours sins so we may eat His Body and drink His Blood, “have life in” us and be among His “friends”?
Jesus thought of that! He gave His Catholic Clergy the power to forgive sins: “Those whose sins you forgive on earth are forgiven in Heaven.”
His friends believe and trust Him. The others do not. Sadly, many are too vain follow the clear directions He provided with The Catholic Treasure Map for Souls.
