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.’”
