Almost 2,000 years ago, Nero began throwing faithful Catholics to the lions. In every age, the enemies of Jesus hate The Only Church He Founded. They attack The Catholic Church every way they can. Catholics are still being thrown to the lions in many ways.

Miraculously, The Only Church Jesus Founded has survived every attack. God has protected His Church for 2,000 years.

Each Catholic prays that he or she may “endure to the end”.

The enemies of The Church do have immortal souls. Some who revile His Church are often moved to save their own souls by the pain they see being withstood by His holy martyrs. They ask this question:

“Why do Catholics choose to suffer and die? Why don’t they give in and lie?”

We pray that we, as earlier persecutors, will be blessed to understand that Jesus is The Promised Messiah. Many who follow Him share the pain He suffered as He allowed Himself to become “The Lamb of God“.

Today, many see the false accusations and see that Nero still rules Babylon. We know that any of us may be selected to be among the persecuted.

We all clearly see that Catholics are still being thrown to the lions.

We also see that we must “endure to the end”.

May God bless us all with the fortitude to remain obedient to The Only Church-Founding Decree of Jesus:

“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.”

Only our obedience will let our immortal souls be blessed to be forever among “You are My friends if you obey My commands.”
