The Prophet Hosea gave us a“Hidden Catholic Prophecy” in Hosea 2:16-18, 21-22:
“I will espouse you to me forever: I will espouse you in right and in justice, in love and in mercy; I will espouse you in fidelity, and you shall know the LORD.”
Psalm 145: 2-9 tells us why that “Hidden Catholic Prophecy” is true: “The Lord is gracious and merciful. Every day, I will bless you, and I will praise Your name forever and ever… Generation after generation praises Your works and proclaims Your might… The LORD is good to all and compassionate toward all His works.”
Those “Hidden Catholic Prophecies” come true in 2 Timothy 1:10, Today’s “Alleluia”: “Our Savior, Jesus Christ, has destroyed death and brought life to light through The Gospel.”
Today’s Gospel, Matthew 9:18:26, shows how Jesus “brought life” to the “official who came forward, knelt down beside him, and said, ‘My daughter has just died. But, come, lay Your hand on her and she will live.'”
For a pubic “official” to publicly ask Jesus for help was unusual! While Jesus went to his house, “A woman suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the tassel on His cloak… Jesus turned around and saw her and said, ‘Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you.’ And, from that hour, the woman was cured.” That is a “Hidden Catholic Prophecy” of being eternally blessed by receiving The Seven Catholic Sacraments!
Then, “Jesus arrived at the official’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd who were making a commotion. Jesus said, ‘Go away! The girl is not dead but sleeping.’ And they ridiculed Him. (That is a “Hidden Catholic Prophecy” predicting the way many people would respond to Jesus!) When the crowd was put out, He came and took her by the hand and the little girl arose.” Jesus had “touched” her!
The “official’s daughter” and the “hemorrhaging woman” could not receive His Body and Blood in Catholic Communion. The “woman” could “touch the tassel on His cloak” and the girl could be healed by actually being “touched” by Jesus.
These “Hidden Catholic Prophecies” help many to believe in Jesus enough to consider “touching” The Church-Creating Word that He Who Fulfilled the Messianic Prophecies Spoke to His First Catholic Pope:
“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.'”
Jesus healed the woman and the girl before He empowered His First Pope, Bishops, and all Ordained in a living link with them to let Catholics obey His Call to Catholic Communion for the next 2,000 years and be “touched” by Him: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood, you do not have life in you.” That was so important that He repeated it 14 times, letting Catholics see that His Body and Blood would always be “touchable” for those blessed to respect Jesus enough to “Be Catholic!”
Another “Hidden Catholic Prophecy”:
Every Protestant has been blessed to “touch” some part of Catholic Teaching in “The Gospel” that was written and given to the world by The Catholic Church.
Worldly confusions make it hard to see that the Power of God is manifested on earth in His Church.
Every Catholic for the past 2,000 years has been “touched” to see how important it is to receive The Living Body and Blood of Jesus Christ by receiving That Holy Food in Catholic Communion, thereby “touching” the Love, Mercy, Power, and Reality of God.
Catholics are so “deeply touched” by Jesus that our minds and souls begin to be “healed” of the vanity that leads many to conclude: “I know more than He Who Fulfilled the Prophecies about where and how to worship Him!”
Catholics don’t argue with Any Word of Jesus! That lets us be blessed to have His actual “life” in us!
May all be blessed to see that The Loving Programmer wrote The Creation Program over 13 trillion light-years ago.
May all be blessed to realize that The Holy Spirit Downloaded The Creation Program so that The Word of God could take form in Him. Catholics see that He is The Living Complexity of The Creation Program in Human Form. He lives forever in the shining souls of every “Replicating Free Will Program” (That’s what every person on earth is!) who asks God to let us be “touched” deeply enough to “Be Catholic!”
