Catholics do something new and different! We try to imagine that “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” are numbers! The “keys” are like The Numbers to the combination lock on the door of a huge bank vault.
We must have all The Numbers to open the door! Jesus Christ gave us “the numbers” we need to open the “door” to Heaven!
This is The First Number that Jesus Christ left on earth to open the door to Heaven!
“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.”

May all the world be blessed to do what Catholics do! We try to have All The Numbers we need to open the door to The Kingdom of Heaven!
Our first number? Matthew 16:18-20. That opens this door! “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.”
We strive to obey Every Teaching of Jesus Christ!
Catholics know! We need all the numbers to get through the door! We have to turn the dial on the door to one Right Number after Another!
~
Catholics know! “our days are numbered”! Every day, we turn the dial! May God, His Saints, and His Angels guide us to get The Right Number every day!
The Right Numbers are one way to actually see “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven”! The “Right Numbers” are Every Teaching of Jesus Christ!
My thanks to a very intelligent Protestant for prompting that thought! It is one of the best things he has done in his wonderful life.

May God bless us all to be better Catholics.
