Question 1:  “What is the first mention of our Mother’s Womb in Today’s Reading?”

Answer:  “Isaiah 14:1-6 begins:  ‘Hear me, O islands, listen O distant peoples, The LORD called me from birth, from my mother’s womb He gave me my name.’  Then, Isaiah tells us what God made him in his ‘mother’s womb’:  ‘He made of me a sharp-edged sword and concealed me in the shadow of His arm.  He made me into a polished arrow, in His quiver He hid me.’  Isaiah concludes by telling us God has made him ‘a light to the nations’ so ‘that My salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.’

Question 2:  “Is every Catholic given ‘gifts’ in our ‘Mother’s Womb’?”

Answer:  “We may open those ‘gifts’ and see the blessings we may share in Today’s Psalm 71:1-6, 15, 17: ‘I will sing of Your salvation.  On you I depend from birth;  from my Mothers’s Womb you are my strength.’  Catholics see that angels have arranged electrons and atoms in the cells that will grow into what may become The Masterpiece of God that each of us is.”

Question 3: “What happens in our Mother’s Womb that is so important?”

Answer:  “One cell from our Mother and one from our Father became one at our ‘moment of conception’ in our Mother’s Womb.  One tiny cell, as small as a grain of salt, holds everything God made us to be.  God’s ‘blueprints’ for the hairs on our head, our finger and toe prints, every part of every molecule in our mind and body was in that grain of salt that God’s angels ‘knit together in our Mother’s Womb’.”

Question 4:  “On Holy Tuesday are we reminded how The Son of God was ‘knit together in His Blessed Mother’s womb’?”

Answer:  “John 13 provides This Verse Before The Gospel‘Hail to you, our King, obedient to the Father;  You were led to Your crucifixion like a gentle lamb to the slaughter.’  At the final moment of His Life, He, Who could have called upon all the Powers of Heaven to destroy every evil on earth, was like ‘a gentle lamb to the slaughter.”

Question 5:  “What happened to the soul of Judas for betraying Jesus?”

Answer:  “Victims of vanity who die in unrepentant disobedience to God are lost to eternal suffering.  That is why, especially during Holy Week, every Catholic prays:  ‘God, please let me understand / and be as Catholic as I can.’

Today’s Simple Rhyme:  “Jesus, you gave Your Life for me / Please bless me to live for Thee.”
