Question 1: “Why do Catholics believe The Catholic Church is ‘God’s New Vineyard’?”
Answer: “Today’s Reading mentions vineyards three times in Isaiah 5:1-7, Psalm 80:9-20 and Matthew 21:33-43. The ‘Vineyard Passages’ tell us that God has One Vineyard on earth at any given time.”
~
Question 2: “What is ‘God’s New Vineyard’?”
Answer: “His ‘New Vineyard’ is The Catholic Church. Jesus Spoke Her Into Being with His Word: ‘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.’
It replaces the ‘Old Vineyard’ that God led Abraham and Moses to take care of on earth.”
~
Question 3: “Do those in His ‘New Vineyard’ get to eat ‘the fruit of His vine’?”
Answer: “Jesus repeated His Call to Catholic Communion 12 times in the last 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 4: “Can those who willfully refuse to obey That Word of Jesus have ‘life in’ them from the grapes of His ‘New Vineyard’?
Answer: “Everyone who consciously chooses to reject That Holy Food keeps God from being able to feed their souls with His Word that becomes ‘Life’ in Catholic Communion.”
~
Question 5: “What does That Holy Food let Catholics do?”
Answer: “John 15:16 tells us! ‘I have chosen you from the world, says The Lord, to go and bear fruit that will remain.’”
~
Question 6: “Is every Catholic’s mission in life to encourage their family, friends, and neighbors to receive The Holy Food that lets souls become living light that shines forever?”
Answer: We say ‘Alleluia, alleluia!’. Our minds and souls are enlightened with The Power God gave us to encourage others to have The Holy Food from His ‘New Vineyard’ that feeds souls forever!”
~
Question 7: “Why isn’t every Christian a Catholic?”
Answer: “Worldly concerns lead billions of people to think their opinions are more important than gratefully obeying This Specific Word from He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies:
‘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.’
~
May all be blessed to feed their souls with The Holy Food that grows only on The Holy Vine in God’s Only ‘Vineyard’ on earth. The branches of That Vine are tended by Catholic priests and religious.
