Today’s Reading lets us see more “Hidden Catholic Prophecies” in Hosea 11: 1-4, 8-9: “Thus says the LORD: ‘When Israel was a child, I loved him, out of Egypt I called My Son. The more I called them, the farther they went from Me, sacrificing to the Baals and burning incense to idols.'” That is a “Hidden Catholic Prophecy” predicting that many would leave The Catholic Church and end up “burning incense” to those who led them away from The Church Who Teaches that “Life must be protected from conception until natural death”.
We see the “Hidden Catholic Prophecy” of how anti-life groups began: “Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk, who took them in My arms, with bands of love; I fostered them like one who raises an infant to his cheeks; Yet, though I stooped to feed My Child, they did not know that I was their healer.”
That is a “Hidden Catholic Prophecy” that Jesus would “feed and heal” those who would respect His Catholic Communion-Creating Words that He repeated 14 times! “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood, you do not have life in you.” Hosea also predicts this This Truth would not echo among anti-Catholics for the last 2,000 years: “Love God, and love your neighbor as yourself”.
Then, this “Hidden Catholic Prophecy” lets us see God’s Thoughts about us! “My heart is overwhelmed, My pity is stirred. I will not give vent to My blazing anger, I will not destroy Ephraim again; For I am God and not man, The Holy One present among you; I will not let the flames consume you.” May all be blessed to understand those “Hidden Catholic Prophecies” well enough to “Be As Catholic As We Can!” by realizing that “The Holy One is present among you” is God’s Specific Prediction and Description of those blessed to receive Catholic Communion at every Catholic Mass for the past 2,000 years!
Today, Psalm 80: 2,3 15-16 gives us more “Hidden Catholic Prophecies”! “Let us see Your face, Lord, and we shall be saved… O shepherd of Israel, hearken. From Your Throne upon the cherubim, shine forth. Rouse Your Power… Once again, O Lord of Hosts, look down from Heaven, and see: Take care of this vine and protect what Your right hand has planted, The Son of Man whom You Yourself made strong.” May every person ask God to bless them to see the clear meaning of that “Hidden Catholic Prophecy” and realize God is telling us that His One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church is: “the vine His right hand has planted” AND IS “The Son of Man whom You, Yourself made strong”, The Body of Christ on Earth!
Those who review the “Hidden Catholic Prophecies” from Hosea that precede this call from Mark 1:15, Today’s “Alleluia”, is another “Hidden Catholic Prophecy”! “The Kingdom of God is at hand: Repent and believe in the Gospel.” Those who meaningfully respect God’s Prophets see why His People are respectful to God’s Word and will “believe in the Gospel” enough to “Be As Catholic As We Can!” (New Catholic word: “bacawec”)
Today’s Gospel, from Matthew 10:7-14, has “Hidden Catholic Prophecies” foretelling the Vows of Obedience, Chastity, and Poverty that His Catholic priests and religious would make as they bless us by serving God:
“Jesus said to His Apostles: ‘As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received, without cost you are to give. Do not take gold or silver or copper for your belts; no sack for the journey, or a second tunic, or sandals, or a walking stick. The laborer deserves his keep.”
Then, this “Hidden Catholic Prophecy” predicts whose lives and souls will be saved! “Whatever town or village you enter, look for a worthy person in it, and stay there until you leave. As you enter a house, wish it peace. If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; if not, let your peace return to you.”
Next, this “Hidden Catholic Prophecy” predicts the eternal fate of those who choose not to be respectful to God: “Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words, go outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet. Amen, I say to you, ‘It will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of Judgment than for that town.'”
The Word of God in Matthew 16: 18-20 is another “Hidden Catholic Prophecy” of those who are blessed to be as respectful as they can to The Church-Creating Word of Jesus Christ 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.'”
May all be blessed to understand: Those “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” include The Seven Catholic Sacraments: Baptism, Confession/Absolution, Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, Healing, and Holy Orders. Catholics are the only people on earth who understand that God’s Holy Orders take living form in His Catholic priests, religious, and people who help “The Keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” be available on earth to His Chosen People for the past 2,000 years.
Sadly, many victims of vanity are encouraged to love themselves more than God, His Prophets, His Son, and His One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church!
