Only Catholics connect Bible History and DNA Science. We are blessed to be “Chosen” to receive The Life-Giving Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in Catholic Communion.

Question 1: “How does Today’s Reading tell Catholics how ‘Chosen’ we are?”
Answer: “Joshua 24:1-13 tells us where we came from! ‘Joshua addressed all the people: ‘Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: In times past your fathers, down to Terah, father of Abraham and Nahor, dwelt beyond the River and served other gods.’ Catholic History includes nearly 5,000 years of specific people named and chosen by God!”
~
Question 2: “Did God continue to help His Chosen People?”
Answer: “Yes! ‘But I brought your father Abraham from the region beyond the River and led him through the entire land of Canaan. I made his descendants numerous, and gave him Isaac. To Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. To Esau I assigned the mountain region of Seir in which to settle, while Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.’”

Question 3: “How did God help His Chosen People after that?”
Answer: “‘Once you crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho, the men of Jericho fought against you, but I delivered them also into your power. And I sent the hornets ahead of you that drove the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites and Jebusites out of your way; it was not your sword or your bow.’”
~
Question 4: “Does ‘Holy Vanity’ let Catholics see how ‘Chosen’ we are?”
Answer: “Catholics connect The Book of Joshua with The Book of Ezekiel, 16:3. ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says to Jerusalem: Your ancestry and birth were in the land of the Canaanites; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.’
Catholics can see that God used the patrilineal and matrilineal DNA of the peoples He later destroyed to form Abraham’s Family, His ‘Chosen People’.”
~
Question 5: “That is a ‘Holy Vanity’! What was the result?”
Answer: “Over 2,000 years later, The Blessed Virgin Mary came to earth! God let Her be Abraham’s Perfected Form of Amorite and Hittite DNA by having Her be conceived without Original Sin. That let Her be blessed to bring Jesus Christ, The Prophesied Son of God, to earth!”

Question 6: “Why are only Catholics blessed to:
1. Obey The Church-Creating Word of Jesus Christ, “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.’
2. Obey The Call to Catholic Communion that Jesus repeated 14 times: ‘If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.’?”
3. Obey Christ’s Teaching: ‘You are My friends if you obey My commands.’?”
Answer: Billions of people have chosen to believe this ‘unholy vanity’! “WE know more than Jesus Christ about ALL of THAT!”
