Saul persecuted Catholics! Then, Catholic-hating Saul went from “breathing murderous threats against the disciples of The Lord” in Acts 9:1-20 to being Ordained as a Catholic priest and bishop! He founded many Catholic Dioceses and parishes by fulfilling the “Hidden Prophecy” in Today’s Psalm, 117:1-2: “Go out to all the world and tell the Good News”.
Today’s “Alleluia” tells us that “the Good News” is Catholic Communion! John 6:56 tells us: “‘Whoever eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood remains in me and I in him.’, says The Lord.”
John 6:52-59 is a “Hidden Prophesy” of how all worldly people would react to That Teaching for the next 2,000 years! “The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, ‘How can this man give us His Flesh to eat?’
“Jesus said to them, ‘Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood, you do not have life within you.’”
Jesus continued to tell us how important Catholic Communion is: “‘Whoever eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.’”
Then, Jesus repeated the importance of Catholic Communion! “For My Flesh is true food, and My Blood is true drink. Whoever eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood remains in Me and I in him.”
No one “quarreled” as He Who Fulfilled The Messianic Prophecies told those blessed to understand: “Just as the living Father sent Me and I have life because of The Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will have life because of Me.”
Catholics are blessed! At every Catholic Mass, we are blessed to receive His Life that He died to leave on earth: “This is the bread that came down from Heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats This Bread will live forever.”
For 2,000 years, those who refuse to eat that “bread” put themselves among those who will not “live forever”. May we be blessed to obey God’s call to “love God and our neighbors” by encouraging all we can to Be Catholic!
