The First Mistake Protestants make is failing to respect God’s Prophets.
~
Question 1: “Does Today’s Catholic Reading from The Prophet Malachi 3:1-4 tell us that Jesus is fulfilling God’s Prophecies?”
Answer: “‘Thus says The Lord God: Lo, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before Me; And suddenly there will come to The Temple The Lord Whom you seek, and the messenger of The Covenant Whom you desire.’”
~
Question 2: “Does Today’s Psalm 24: 7-10 tell us about The Messiah, ‘The King of Glory’?”
Answer: “Those who are saved will ask: ‘Who is this King of Glory?’, and give the right answer: “It is The Lord!”. They will obey ‘Lift up, O gates, your lintels; reach up, you ancient portals, that The King of Glory may come in! Who is this king of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, The Lord of hosts; He is The King of Glory.’”
~
Question 3: “Why did ‘The King of Glory’ take human form in Bethlehem, be born to a Virgin of The House of David, and be consecrated ‘in The Temple’ as Malachi predicted?”
Answer: “St. Paul understood what God blessed him to share with us in Hebrews 2:19; ‘Since the children share in blood and flesh, Jesus likewise shared in them, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the Devil, and free those who through fear of death had been subject to slavery all their life.’”
~
Question 4: “Whom did Jesus come to help?”
Answer: “St. Paul’s next sentence explains: ‘Surely He did not help angels; but rather the descendants of Abraham; therefore, He had to become like His brothers and sisters in every way, that He might be a merciful and faithful high priest before God to expiate the sins of the people.’”
~
Question 5: “Why did Jesus have to suffer and be crucified after a life that His ‘being consecrated in The Temple’ according to Luke 2:22-40?”
Answer: “All the world had to see This Simple Truth: ‘Because He, Himself, was tested through what He suffered, He is able to help those who are being tested.’”
~
Question 6: “Are all the people on earth being tested to see if we believe God is more important than worldly applause?”
Answer: “All Catholics are blessed to be described in Luke 2:32; ‘A light of revelation to the Gentiles and glory for your people Israel.’ ”
~
Question 7: “What lets Catholics be so blessed?”
Answer: “We are the only people on earth who respect God enough to obey The Church-Creating Word of His Prophesied Messiah 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.’”

Today’s Simple Rhyme: “Catholics have and live the light / That lets our souls shine so bright / at Judgment.”
