In John 20: 21-23 and in Mt. 16: 18-20 Jesus said to those He ordained: “Those whose sins you forgive on earth are forgiven in Heaven.” It’s true! Jesus: “Catholic priests can forgive sins.”!
Priests in The Only Church He Founded can forgive sins! God has given them that power!
The burden of guilt causes endless spiritual, mental, and physical problems. Jesus gave His Church the cure! While lesser powers focus on chemical and Do-It-Yourself cures, obedient Catholics are blessed. “When I confess my sins, and a Catholic priest forgives them, I am connected to God!
Many are led to ignore the power that He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies gave to priests in The Only Church He Founded. Such souls stay stained, shrunken, and shriveled by sin. Their poor soul are separated from God and more demons pounce!
They sing their siren songs: “Think of pleasure! Think of gain! Never, ever think of pain!”
Those sunk in sin ignore their soul’s anguish. “You are killing me! Why! Why?” their poor souls cry. “Love me! I am you! I am all you are! Why are you killing me! Why are you sending me to eternal pain! Stop ignoring God. Find forgiveness. Receive His Body and Blood! Let me have life in me!”
The soul’s clamoring cry for love must be deadened by the demons’ distractions. More powerful drugs are needed! More excuses must be provided to give into temptations.
All of us are vulnerable. Catholics have an advantage. We may see our priest. “Father, it has been too long since my last Confession . . . . ” We know what to say. So does the priest.
When we have been absolved by the power that every demon despises and demeans, our soul may grow and live. Then, we may be fed by That Holy Communion to which Jesus called us EIGHTEEN TIMES, telling all who are humble enough to listen: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
Who would want to keep us from that?
