May all be blessed to download Today’s Bible Reading from Exodus 34: 4-6 & 8-9 well enough to “Be Catholic!”
“Early in the morning, Moses went up Mount Sinai as The LORD had commanded him, taking along the two stone tablets. … Having come down in a cloud, The LORD stood with Moses there and proclaimed His Name, “LORD”.
In our Age of Computers and Cell-phones, Catholics who use them to download information from “the cloud” can realize: “The Holy Trinity was in that ‘Cloud’ or is that ‘Cloud’!”
Catholics make another connection! “Moses was the first person to download information from The Cloud on his tablets!”
“Thus The LORD passed before him and cried out, ‘The LORD, The LORD, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity.'”
Moses did what every Catholic asks God to do for us, our families, and our neighbors: “Moses at once bowed down to the ground in worship. Then, he said, ‘If I find favor with you, O Lord, do come along in our company. This is indeed a stiff-necked people; yet pardon our wickedness and sins, and receive us as Your own.'”
Those Words of Moses are clear Prophecies of The Catholic Sacraments of Confession/Absolution and Holy Communion. They predict that Catholics will “receive us as Your own” when He began downloading His Body and Blood within us by The Miracle of Transubstantiation that Jesus Downloads into Catholics at every Catholic Mass for the past 2,000 years.
Our Second Bible Reading lets Catholics download more connections between Moses > The Cloud > Jesus > The Catholic Church > St. Paul > us!
2 Corinthians, 13:11-12: “Brothers and sisters, rejoice. Mend your ways, encourage one another, agree with one another, live in peace, and The God of Love and Peace will be with you. … The grace of The Lord Jesus Christ and The Love of God and the fellowship of The Holy Spirit will be with you.” It is the Downloading of The Seven Catholic Sacraments that makes That Blessing possible!
We may download another Catholic Connection: Moses was a Living Prophecy of St. Paul. He spread The Church-Creating Word of The Prophesied Messiah to distant descendants of The 12 Tribes that were led by Moses:
“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.'”
What a blessed joy to download God’s Words in The Bible well enough to: “Be Catholic!”, and see where we are in Today’s Gospel from John 3:16-18:
“God so loved the world that He gave us His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life.” All who “believe in Him” enough to get the “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” see that we “will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned because he has not believed in the name of The Only Son of God.”
