Deuteronomy 6:4-13 is God’s Message to Moses. “Moses said to the people: ‘Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, The LORD alone! Therefore, you shall love The LORD, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. Take to heart these words which I enjoin on you today.”
For the next 1,400 years, God’s Prophets “loved The LORD with all their heart, soul, and strength”. Over 300 of their Prophecies promised that His Son would take human form in The Creation Program God had Downloaded 13 trillion light-years earlier with Words that began with: “Let there be light and there was light.”
Who has been “taking those words to heart” for the past 2,000 years? Catholic priests and religious take Holy Vows of Poverty, Celibacy, and Obedience because they “love The LORD with all their hearts, souls, and strength.”
For 2,000 years, Catholics have had “the heart, soul, and strength” to obey The Church-Creating Word of God’s Prophesied Son 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.”
Every Catholic has the “the heart, soul, and strength” to identify our sins and ask the only people on earth with the God-Given Power to forgive our sins to do so. John 20:23 makes the Authority of our priests clear: “Those whose sins you forgive on earth are forgiven in Heaven.”.
That absolution allows us to obey The Call to Catholic Communion Jesus repeated 12 times in John 6 and 2 more times at The Last Supper: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
By answering that Call, Catholics follow Moses’s order to be “loving The Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.”
