Catholics try to understand and obey Every Teaching of Jesus Christ. Acts 16:11-15 shows how intelligent people become Catholics!
St. Paul and other early Catholics went to: “. . . Philippi, a leading city in that district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We spent some time in that city.”
“On the sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river where we thought there would be a place of prayer. We sat and spoke with the women who had gathered there. One of them, a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth, from the city of Thyatira, a worshiper of God, listened, and the Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what Paul was saying.”
Lydia listened to St. Paul, a Catholic Bishop!
1. We know St. Paul was Catholic because he told us how important it is to receive Catholic Communion. “This cup of benediction that we bless, is it not The Blood of Christ? This bread that we break, is it not The Body of Christ?”
2. We know he was a Catholic Bishop because he Founded Catholic Churches! And, He Ordained Catholic priests for those Catholic Churches!
Lydia passed God’s IQ Test! She understood: “St. Paul is telling the truth about Jesus Christ and His Church!”
“After she and her household had been baptized, she offered us an invitation, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my home,” and she prevailed on us.”
By receiving His Body and Blood, we ask Jesus to “stay at” our “home” on earth.
God’s IQ Test. #19. Question 1. “Will I, like Lydia, obey Jesus’ Teaching: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you”?
My answer: “Yes.” _____. “No.” _____. “I do not want to think about that.” _____.

May we, like Lydia, always listen to Words of Jesus. And, obey!
