Question 1: “How do The Psalms of the Old Testament connect Catholics with Words of Jesus Christ?”
Answer: “The Response to these Psalms in Today’s Reading: Ps 63:2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9 connects us with Jesus!
The Response: ‘My soul is thirsting for You, O Lord my God.
Reading 1: O God, you are my God whom I seek; for You my flesh pines and my soul thirsts like the earth, parched, lifeless and without water.
Response: My soul is thirsting for You, O Lord my God.

Reading 2: Thus have I gazed toward You in the sanctuary to see Your power and your glory, for Your kindness is a greater good than life; my lips shall glorify You.
Response: My soul is thirsting for You, O Lord my God.

Reading 3: Thus will I bless you while I live; lifting up my hands, I will call upon Your Name. As with the riches of a banquet shall my soul be satisfied, and with exultant lips my mouth shall praise You.
Response: My soul is thirsting for You, O Lord my God.

Reading 4: You are my help, and in the shadow of Your wings I shout for joy. My soul clings fast to You; Your right hand upholds me.

Question 2: “Are Catholics the only people who truly quench that ‘thirst’ in their ‘soul’?”
Answer: “Only Catholics obey The Call to Catholic Communion that Jesus Christ repeated 12 times in the second 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.’”

Question 3: “Does That Holy Food bring ‘life’ to our ‘soul’?”
