Question 1: “Is Today’s Reading from Hebrews 13:15-17 and 20-21 God’s guide for Faith and our daily life?”
Answer: “‘Through Jesus, let us offer God an unending sacrifice of praise, the fruit of the lips of those who acknowledge His Name.’ That leads us to: ‘Keep doing good works and sharing your resources, for these are the kinds of sacrifice that please God.’”

Question 2: “After we ‘acknowledge His Name and praise Him endlessly’, what should we do?”
Answer: “‘Obey your leaders and give way to them; they watch over your souls because they must give an account of them; make this a joy for them to do, and not a grief, or you, yourselves will be the losers.’”

Question 3: “Should Catholics ‘obey and give way’ to our priests, Bishops, and Church Teachings?”

I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’”

Question 4: “Do we have to obey earthly ‘leaders and give way to them’, even if they hurt, loot, and kill helpless people?”
“Jesus and His Disciples were punished, impoverished, jailed, and killed for Speaking God’s Word, despite earthly ‘leaders’ telling them to ‘Be quiet about that!’”

Answer: “With this Word of God to the Hebrews: ‘I pray that the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood that sealed an eternal covenant, may prepare you to do His will in every kind of good action; effecting in us all whatever is acceptable to himself through Jesus Christ, to Whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.’”

Question 6: “Can we ‘do His will’ if we support leaders who tell lies to hurt their neighbors?”
