Catholics know Psalm 33:6. “By the word of the LORD the heavens were made; by the breath of his mouth all their host. For he spoke, and it was made; He commanded, and it stood forth.”
First, God Spoke Creation Into Being with His “word”. We can combine things that God has made. We cannot “speak” things into being! If we were able to “speak things into being”, we would all live in palaces!
God “Spoke” the Heavens into Being with His Word. Then, He “breathed” the “host of Heaven” into being with His “breath”.
Catholics understand the staggeringly simple fact! Every thing and being in Creation came through His Mouth!

St. Isidore of Seville explained a simple fact: “Books are made out of Words. Words are made out of letters. Letters are made out of lines. Some letters are made of straight lines. Others letters are made from curved lines. Some letters are made out of lines that are straight and curved.”
Question 1. “What did God’s Words make?”
The usual answer: “Atoms.”
~
Question 2. “What are atoms made of?”
Most people answer: “Electrons, neutrons, and protons.”
~
Question 3. “What are electrons, neutrons, and protons made of?”
A Catholic Answer! “They are the ongoing echoes of God’s Words!”
~
Where do we get that answer? From God! Catholics look often at Psalm 33:6. “By the word of the LORD the heavens were made; by the breath of his mouth all their host. For he spoke, and it was made; He commanded, and it stood forth.”
Question 4: “What is the most important Word?”
Catholics have three answers! John 1:1 is clear: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
~
Question 5: “What do Catholics do with that knowledge?”
Catholics answer: “We think clearly enough to obey This Word from The 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.'”
Why do Catholics try to obey That, and Every Word of God?
We want to be forever among This Word of God! “You are My friends if you obey My commands.”!
What a blessing to be Catholic!
