God’s “Grace” was given to Catholics.

May we all be blessed to go to God’s Judgment carrying as many “Gifts of God’s Grace” as we can.

Question 1:  “Does The Bible say that ‘God’s Grace’ is given to Catholics?

Answer:  “We read what St. Paul taught the early Catholics in Today’s Reading from Eph 4:7-6:  ‘Brothers and sisters:  Grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift’.  His ‘brothers and sisters’  followed the Catholic Teachings he provided them.  Those who refused to follow his Catholic Teachings were not among the ‘brothers and sisters’ he specifically identified and addressed who were among ‘each of us’.”

Question 2:  “How can a non-Catholic be ‘given Christ’s gift of Grace’ and be forever among His ‘brothers and sisters’?”

Answer:  “Anyone on earth can ask for the ‘grace’ to obey the specific, Church-Creating Word of He Who Fulfilled the Prophecies 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.’

Question 3:  “How can a non-Catholic get enough ‘grace’ to be Catholic?”

Answer:  “Anyone can pray for these things:

1. “God, please let me obey Your First Commandment, and have ‘no other gods before You.’

2. “God, Your Old Testament prophesied the Messiah would be ‘born in Bethlehem’ to a ‘Virgin of The House of David’ before He was ‘lifted up before men’ so the world could ‘look upon He Whom they pierced’.  Please, bless me with His ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’. 

3.  “God, let me be among gratefully respectful ‘brothers and sisters’ so that my soul may forever be among ‘the children of God’.”

Everyone is smart enough to understand that Jesus died to give those ‘keys’ to The First Catholic Pope and His One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.”

~

Question 4:  “Which ‘gifts of grace’ are Catholics able to receive?”

Answer:  “Those ‘gifts of grace’ to our body, mind, and soul include Baptism, The Eucharist, Confirmation, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Marriage, and Ordination.”

~

May all be blessed to live by this simple truth:  “It is better to go to God’s Judgment carrying as many of those ‘gifts of grace’ as we can.”
