In Today’s Reading, Paul begins 1 Corinthians 10: 14-22 with this advice to those whom he and God love! “My beloved ones, ‘Avoid idolatry’.”
Then, St. Paul confirms the intelligence of those who “avoid idols”: I am speaking to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I am saying: …”
Then, God’s Great Evangelist asks Two Catholic Questions that let us “judge for ourselves” whether or not we should embody Christ’s Call to Catholic Communion:
Catholic Question #1: “This cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in The Blood of Christ?
Catholic Question #2: “This bread that we break, is it not a participation in The Body of Christ?”
May all be blessed to connect Paul’s Call to Catholic Communion with The Holy Words Jesus repeated 10 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.”
The need to embody Christ’s Call to Catholic Communion at every Catholic Mass following The Last Supper was Prophesied in God’s Old Testament Marketing Plan! The “Hidden Catholic Prophecy” of Catholic Communion is clear in Psalm 116: 12-13, 7-16: “… The cup of salvation, I will take up, and I will call upon The Name of The Lord.”
Today’s “Alleluia”, from John 14:23, blesses many to obey Christ’s Call to Catholic Communion! “Whoever loves Me will keep My Word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him.”
Today’s Gospel, Luke 6:43-49, asks a question that helps us to “Be as Catholic as we can” by asking:
Catholic Question #3: is asked by He Who Fulfilled The Messianic Prophecies, The Son of God: “Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord’, but do not do what I command?”
May we and our families be blessed to be “like a man building a house, who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock; when the flood came, the river burst against that house but could not shake it because it had been well built. But, the one who listens and does not act is like a person who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river burst against it, it collapsed at once and was completely destroyed.”
May all be blessed to build our souls’ and our families’ “house” on The Church-Creating Word of Jesus 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.'”
All who love God begin our Journey to Heaven by being Baptized “In the Name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit”!
