May all be blessed to heed The Words from and about He Who Fulfilled the Prophecies:
~
Question 1: “What makes Catholic Truth so clear in Today’s Reading?”
Answer: “St. Paul tells us how important it is for our mind to understand 1 Cor. 15:1-8. ‘I am reminding you, brothers and sisters of the Gospel I preached to you, which you indeed received and in which you also stand. Through it you are also being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.’”
~
Question 2: “What did St. Paul teach?”
Answer: “‘For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures; that he was buried; that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures; that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.’”
Then, St. Paul remnded them of other witnesses!
‘After that, he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. After that he appeared to James, then to all the Apostles. Last of all, as to one born abnormally, he appeared to me.’”

Question 3: “That Teaching is Catholic enough to recognize Cephas, Peter, as The First Pope. Does Today’s Psalm 19 2-5 support that by prophesying: ‘Their message goes out through all the earth.’”
Answer: “‘The message that goes out through all the earth’ is summed up in John 14-6b and 9c of Today’s Alleluia: ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life, says The Lord: Philip, whoever has seen me has seen The Father.’”
~
Question 4: “What Word from Jesus helped Thomas, Philip, and helps us today to be Catholic?”
Answer: “‘Jesus said to Thomas, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.’”
Philip needed more understanding, so ‘Philip said to him, ‘Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.’
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.’
~
Question 5: “Do the next Verses teach us about the Fulness of Catholic Communion?”
Answer: “‘Philip said to him, ‘Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip?
Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me.’”
~
Question 6: “When Catholics obey The Call to Catholic Communion that Jesus repeated 12 times in the last half of John 6 and twice more at The Last Supper, ‘If you do not eat My Body and drinK My Blood you do not have life in you.’, are they receiving The Son and ‘The Father who dwells in’ Him?”
Answer: “All who meaningfully believe in Christ also understand we are receiving The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit Who lets us understand that every time we receive Catholic Communion!”
