Isaiah and Jesus agree: "If we do not obey God, we lose His Blessings.

Question 1:  “Are Catholics guided by Isaiah 38:1-6 in Today’s Catholic Reading:  ‘When King Hezekiah was mortally ill, the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz, came and said to him:  ‘Thus says The Lord: Put your house in order, for you are about to die; you shall not recover.’?”

Answer:  “Catholics know every day brings every soul closer to God’s Judgment.  We ‘put our house in order’ because we are all ‘about to die’.”

~

Question 2:  “What can save our soul?”

Answer:  “We may be able to tell God what King Hezekiah did:  ‘O Lord, remember how faithfully and wholeheartedly I conducted myself in Your presence, doing what was pleasing to you!'”

~

Question 3:  “Did God give Hezekiah a sign of His approval?”

Answer:  “‘ “This will be the sign for you from The Lord that He will do what He has promised:  See, I will make the shadow cast by the sun on the stairway to the terrace of Ahaz go back the ten steps it has advanced.’

~

Question 4:  “We know what happened!  ‘So the sun came back the ten steps it had advanced.’  Can Catholics have that happen to us?”

Answer:  “Today’s Psalm includes:  ‘Those live whom The Lord protects;  You saved my life, O Lord;  I shall not die.’

~

Question 5:  “How does that apply to Catholics?”

Answer:  “Jesus tells us in John 10:27!  ‘My sheep hear My voice, says The Lord;  I know them, and they follow Me.’

~

Question 6:  “How do Catholics know we are His ‘sheep’?”

Answer: “Catholics are the only people who hear, and obey, The Church-Creating Word that Jesus Spoke to The First 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.’

~

Question 7:  “Who could hear The Church-Creating Word of Jesus to His First Pope and not be Catholic?”

Answer:  “Victims of Protestantism do not ‘hear His voice and follow Him’.  They cannot sanely say to God:  ‘O Lord, remember how faithfully and wholeheartedly I conducted myself in Your presence, doing what was pleasing to You! O God.’
