As we struggle to grow closer to God, thousands of fish hooks pull souls to earth.  “Ignore God!  Pay attention to ME!” cries every temptation there is.

Every hour of every day of more than a dozen and a half centuries,  holy men and women in the cloisters of monasteries and convents focus on God.  Their unceasing prayers are for us.  “Lord, may all turn to You!”

Their souls are among the brightest lights on earth.  They have heard and heeded the highest call of all.  For centuries, their prayers have been deposited in “Heaven’s Bank Account”.

The Church recognizes what they have done:  “Look not on our sins, but on the Faith of Your Church.”, we plea at every Mass.

And, every single Catholic Mass since The Last Supper has been presided over by The Spirit of God living in His Catholic priests.  They are the leaven that causes the bread to rise.  Without our priests, we have no access to Heaven.

“Verily, verily 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.”  If we are blessed to believe and obey, we receive The Holy Food Jesus provided at The Last Supper.

“If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”  Jesus repeated His clear call to Catholic Communion EIGHTEEN TIMES!

Therefore, Catholic Communion is one of the “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven”.

Ambitious men have discovered:  “If I provide praise for people, they will give me money!”  They lead souls away from The Only Church Jesus Founded.  They keep many from obeying “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”

We strive to grow closer to God as thousands of fish hooks pull souls to earth.
