We have Free Will. May we all, like St. Peter, be blessed by choosing to obey Two Direct Orders from Jesus Christ.
~
Question 1: “What is ‘The First Direct Order’ from Jesus Christ that only Catholics obey?”
Answer: “Jesus repeated His First Direct Order to Peter and all Catholic Bishops, priests, religious, and Catholics three times in Jn 21:15-19:
1. ‘After Jesus had revealed himself to His disciples and eaten breakfast with them, He said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?’ Simon Peter answered Him, “Yes, Lord, You know that I love You.’ Then, Jesus gave Him this Direct Order: Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’
2. Then, Jesus repeated His Direct Order: ‘He then said to Simon Peter a second time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Simon Peter answered Him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, ‘Tend my sheep.’
3. ‘He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love Me?’ Peter was distressed that He had said to him a third time, ‘Do you love Me?’ and Peter said to Him, ‘Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.’
Jesus repeated His Direct Order for the third time! ‘Feed my sheep.’‘”

Question 2: “What was Jesus telling Peter, and all His future Catholic Bishops and priests, to do?”
Answer: “‘Feed My Sheep’ is His Direct Order to Provide His Body and Blood to those who would obey The Call to Catholic Communion that Jesus had repeated 14 times: ‘If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.’”

Question 3: “What was the Second Direct Order that Jesus gave to His Catholic Bishops and priests?”
Answer: “‘Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.’ He said this signifying by what kind of death he (and many of His Catholic priests, religious and people) would glorify God. And when He had said this, Jesus said to him, ‘Follow Me.’‘”

Question 4: “Will those who Truly Believe that Jesus is The Prophesied Messiah love Him enough to obey His Two Direct Orders?”
Answer: “Those who meaningfully ‘love’ Jesus will do whatever is necessary to be fed His Holy Food in Catholic Communion from those Ordained in Living Link with Peter and The First Catholic Bishops.”
