God helps all who receive The Body and Blood of His Son in Catholic Communion. May all be blessed to Think Clearly about that!

Question 1: “How do Catholics know that ‘God Himself is my help.’?”
Answer: “Today’s Psalm 54: 3-4, 6 and 8 tells us that ‘God Himself is my help.’:
First Reading: ‘O God, by your name save me, and by Your Might defend my cause. O God, hear my prayer; hearken to the words of my mouth.’
Our response: ‘God Himself is my help.’
~
Second Reading: ‘Behold, God is my helper; The Lord sustains my life. Freely will I offer you sacrifice; I will praise your name, O LORD, for its goodness.’
Our response: ‘God Himself is my help.’”
~
Question 2: “How do Catholics know that ‘God Himself is my help.’?”
Answer: This Word from John 14:6 follows that Psalm:
‘I am the way and the truth and the life, says the Lord; no one comes to the Father except through Me.’
Our response: ‘Alleluia, alleluia.’”
~
Question 3: “What lets Catholics ‘come to the Father through Jesus and Him alone’?'”
Answer: “Catholics ‘come to The Father’ because we obey This Word from His Son in Matthew 16:18-20! ‘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 4: “How does obeying That Word of Jesus let Catholics ‘come to The Father’?”
Answer: “The Father lives in Heaven! Jesus left one set of ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ on earth. He gave those ‘keys’ only to Peter, his Successors, and The Catholic Church Spoken Into Being by That Word of His Son, Jesus Christ.”
~
Question 5: “Why is it hard for non-Catholics to get those ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ from Jesus?”
Answer: “‘Accidental Protestants’ do not Think Clearly about the meaning of ‘Thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church . . .’
‘Willful Protestants’ make a conscious decision to not Think Clearly about That Word of Jesus.'”
~
Question 6: “Do those who willfully choose to ignore Any Word of Jesus make it hard to get ‘help’ from God’?”
Answer: “The Father is far more likely to help those who most meaningfully respect His Son for giving His Life to leave ‘the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ on earth!”
~
May all be blessed to Think Clearly enough to get those ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ from Jesus and be among those who can most meaningfully say: ‘God Himself is my help.’”
