Ezekiel 12-14 clearly predicts the blessings of being as Catholic as we can:
“Thus says the Lord God: ‘O My people, I will open your graves and have you rise from them, and bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and have you rise from them.
‘O My people! I will put My Spirit in you that you may live, and I will settle you upon your land; thus you shall know that I am The LORD.
‘I have promised and I will do it.’ says The LORD.”
Psalm 130:1-9 echoes God’s Call to Be Catholic! “With the Lord, there is mercy (the prophesied blessings of Catholic Confession/Absolution) my soul trusts in His Word (That predicts The Word of The Prophesied Messiah Who would speak One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church into Being with His Church-Creating Word 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.”)
What do Catholics do when we see that? “I trust in the LORD; my soul trusts in His Word… For with the LORD is kindness and with Him is plenteous redemption… “
Then, in Romans 8:8-11, St. Paul shares the joy of Being Catholic! “Brothers and sisters: Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the Spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you.” That Prophecy is fulfilled by the Catholic Communion that lets “The Spirit of God dwell in us” by the Miracle of Transubstantiation. That lets the “Substance of Jesus” be Downloaded into us by His Catholic priests at every Catholic Mass since the Last Supper and lets us avoid any “spirit” that keeps us from being Catholic and receiving That Holy Food.
That shows God’s Blessing to Catholics who are blessed to obey The Call to Catholic Communion that Jesus repeated 12 times in the last half of John 6 and twice more at The Last Supper/First Catholic Mass: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
Then, the need to “Be Catholic!” is confirmed by this frightening Prophecy: “Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him. But, if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is alive because of righteousness.”
Then God’s Call to Catholic Communion from His Great Evangelist becomes even clearer! “If the Spirit of The One who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, The One Who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through His Spirit dwelling in you.”
If that is not enough to lead us to Be As Catholic As We Can, John 11:25-26 tells us: “‘I am the resurrection and the life,’ says The Lord; ‘whoever believes in Me, even if he dies, will never die.'”
Proof of God’s Power to keep His people from dying is confirmed by The Bible in John 11:1-45! Lazarus is, in front of many witnesses, is “raised from the dead” after having been dead and buried for the three days that are a Prophecy of the time between the Death and Resurrection of Jesus at Easter.
