Catholics see that The Bible tells us to “Be Catholic” in John 17:20-26. “Lifting up His eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed saying: ‘Holy Father, I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word, so that they may all be one, . .”
Catholics are blessed to connect “so they may all be one“ with The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church Jesus Spoke into Being with His one Church Creating Word to His First Catholic Pope: “And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My (One) Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
May those who are not Catholic be blessed to see The Focus of Jesus on “oneness” as His Words to John continue: “. . as you, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one, as We are One, I in them and You in Me, that they may be brought to perfection as One, that the world may know that You sent Me, and that You loved them even as You loved Me.”

Every Catholic becomes One with God every time we obey the One Way He told us how to be One with God by saying 12 times in the last half of John 6 and twice more at the Last Supper: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood, you do not have life in you.” Jesus is clear to every person on earth: He did not say “may not have life in you” if you refuse His Call to That Holy Food, but said “You do not have life in you”!
May no one let pride, envy, greed, gluttony, anger, lust, or sloth keep our soul from being One with God.
