Question 1:  “What lets Catholics have the ‘wise’ understanding of Epiphany?”

Answer:  “The New Testament shows that God used three of The Wisest Men on Earth, Babylonian Astronomers, to became living proof that God’s Love extended to all who would make their ‘Pilgrimage to Bethlehem’ in search of The Living Truth Who IS The Prophesied Son of God.”

~

Question 2:  “For 2,000 years, have the earth’s wisest people made the same ‘Pilgrimage to Bethlehem’ ?”

Answer:  “For 2,000 years, ‘the wisest men and women’ have been bringing gifts of grateful obedience to show our love for God’s Fulfillment of over 300 Prophecies that let all who love God become ‘heirs to His Kingdom’.”

~

Question 3:  “How do Catholics know we are especially blessed?”

Answer:  “God’s Love took Living Form on Earth with His Church-Creating Word to The 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.’

~

Question 4:  “Were the Tribes who followed Moses glad to see that God’s Love now extended to every person and Tribe on earth?”

Answer:    “The best of people are glad that new ‘heirs of The Kingdom’ have God’s Direct Love opening our door to ‘The Kingdom of Heaven’.  1 John 4:7-10 explains:  ‘Beloved, let us love one another,  because love is of God;  everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God.’

~

Question 5:  “Why do Catholic Pilgrimages to Bethlehem now end up in Rome?”

Answer:  “That is An Intelligent Question!  Jesus promised that ‘the gates of hell would not prevail’ against Any Catholic Teaching.

1. The First Pope’s Decision to move The Catholic Church to Rome proved that God was reaching out to thousands of Tribes forged into the largest nation on earth.”

2.  Luke 19:44-45, Mt 24: 1-2, and Mark 13:2  tell us that Jesus predicted Jerusalem would be destroyed, with ‘not one stone left standing’.  The Wisdom of God is clear:  Peter moved The Church out of Jerusalem in time to save Her from the destruction God visited upon The Temple of Herod and millions of Jewish people in three ‘Jewish Wars’ that followed.”

~

Question 6:  “How did The Three Wise Men show that God’s Love extended to ‘heirs of The Kingdom’ from more Races, Tribes, and Nations?

Answer:  “2,000 years of Catholic Tradition is clear!  Melchior was from Persia, representing Tribes between India and Greece.  Gaspar was from India, the Tribes between China and Persia.  Balthazar was from Ethiopia, representing African Tribes.  Today’s Prophetic Psalm tells us:  ‘Lord, every nation on earth will adore You.’, including those in the then unknown New World Tribes who were brought into The Church by Catholic priests and religious.”

~

Question 7:  “What about people who do not ‘love one another’?”

Answer:  “The saddest, unhappiest people on earth are then described:  ‘Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love.'”

~

Today’s Simple Rhyme:  “God’s Love has spread through time and space / Within  us may Love find a place.”
