Today’s Reading begins with a life and soul-saving teaching in 1 Timothy 4:12-16: “Beloved: Let no one have contempt for your youth, but set an example for those who believe, in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity.”
Catholics are blessed to show our “love” for “youth” with this Catholic teaching: “Life must be protected from conception until natural death”. Many “somewhat Christian” denominations denounced that when their leaders were overwhelmed with “contempt for your young people.” History is clear: those denominations have been disappearing for 2,000 years.
Anti-Catholic “contempt for your youth” begins at the moment of conception, when billions of our “youth”, smaller than the . at the end of the sentence, are destroyed.
The “youth” who survive are held in “contempt” by evil people. The devil uses their “speech and conduct” to keep all “youth” from “love, faith, and purity”.
Those who choose to hate “youthful” neighbors hurt them as much as they can. Many encourage sports that keep “youth” from thinking clearly, as when forcing them to suffer tiny, brain-damaging concussions from heading soccer balls. Others use government agencies to force “youth” to take profitable vaccinations for diseases they will never get. Other profiteering groups make more “youth” unable to read, write, do arithmetic, and know History than ever.
Those who “have contempt for youth” teach that good is evil and that evil is good.
Catholics know that good must fight against evil. We follow Today’s Reading: “Be diligent in these matters, be absorbed in them, so that your progress may be evident to everyone.”
Catholics get our souls into Heaven by obeying the rest of Today’s Reading! “Attend to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in both tasks, for by doing so you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.”
Catholics pray that all will hear and heed The Church-Creating Word Spoken by He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies to His First Catholic Pope and be “saved”:
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.”
