In Today’s Ascension Reading, from Matthew: 16-20, Jesus gave every person on earth “Hidden Prophecies” that tell us all we need to know to “Be Catholic”!
“The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus ordered them.” That “Hidden Prophecy” predicted the Catholics who would be “Obedient to Jesus”!
“When they saw Him, they worshiped, but they doubted.” That “Hidden Prophecy” predicted thousands of “Doubting Denominations” in the next 2,000 years. The inventors of their Marketing Plans are always told by earthly rulers to bring “doubt” to any Catholic Teaching that keeps them from doing what they want.”
All the Government-Approved “Doubting Denominations” have shared one belief for 2,000 years! “We know more than Jesus about this:
“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”.

How did Jesus deal with “doubts” among His First Catholics? “Then, Jesus approached and said to them, ‘All Power on earth has been given to Me.'”
They looked at Jesus! He had“approached” them! They knew! He had been unjustly judged by local officials whose jobs were threatened by His Teachings. Then, He was scourged and crowned with thorns. He was nailed to a cross that He was made to carry. He was speared, died, was Resurrected, and He was standing before them on the “mountain” that symbolized The Catholic Church on earth!
For the past 2,000 years, those blessed to see Jesus and what happened to Him have overcome the earthly confusion that has kept billions of “worshipers” too “doubtful” to “Be Catholic!”
For 2,000 years, His Catholic priests, religious, and people have obeyed the next command of Jesus: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, Baptizing them in The Name of The Father and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit”, …
Then, this “Hidden Prophecy” separates “worshipers” from “doubters” by telling those blessed to “Be Catholic!” to show their Faith to others by “teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”
For 2,000 years, only Catholics have been blessed to Think Clearly enough to “observe” (“observe” means to “conform our actions or practice to something”) The Call to Catholic Communion that Jesus repeated 14 times, “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
The last “Hidden Prophecy” lets us know that we who are blessed to “observe all” Catholic Teachings are blessed with This Promise of Jesus for eternity:
“And know that I am with you always, yes, even to the end of time.”
