Our age of computers and cell phones lets us see the power of programs to connect us with the world around us.
Catholics are blessed to see that God the Father is The Loving Programmer.
He wrote The Creation Program.
Catholics understand: Over 13 trillion light-years ago, The Downloading Verb of God, The Holy Spirit, began to Download The Creation Program. It takes form in all that is in the universe, which is over 30 trillion light-years from side to side. The Creation Program is forever expanding so that we cannot see an end to God’s Power to Program.
The Creation Program was Downloaded to let the immortal souls of The Loving Programmer’s Replicating Free-Will Programs divide themselves into two groups:
Some Replicating Free-Will Programs ask The Loving Programmer to help guide their lives. 3,500 years ago, “saved souls” followed Moses and were fed with “manna from Heaven.”
Other Replicating Free-Will Programs would choose to believe: “I know more than God and His Prophets.”
From the beginning, The Essence of The Creation Program took living, loving form in The Loving Programmer’s Son, Jesus Christ.
God’s Love for His Obedient People inspired Prophets to provide written Prophecies. They let The Loving Programmer’s obedient people see when and where God would take human form on earth. For the past 2,000 years, He has shared Himself with His Most Beloved Human Programs, Catholics.
Why are Catholics so blessed? We are the only people on earth who respect He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies enough to obey The Church-Creating Word He Spoke to His First Catholic Pope in Mt. 16: 18-20,
“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.'”
Today, Catholics are blessed to honor The Call to Catholic Communion that Jesus repeated 14 times in John 6 and twice more at His Last Supper on Earth: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood, you do not have life in you.”
Catholics have God’s promised “life in us”. That’s why so many jealous people hate for anyone to “Be Catholic!”
Only Catholics meaningfully make The Holy Commection between Catholic Communion and the “Hidden Prophecy” from Moses in Today’s Old Testament Reading from Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14-16 in which God’s Obedient People are “fed with manna, a food unknown to your fathers.” Making it more meaningful, Moses himself repeats that twice!
And, he provides another “Hidden Prophecy” by saying to “live by every word that comes forth from the mouth of The Lord”. That clearly predicts the unusual dietary instruction from He Who Fulfilled the Prophecies: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood, you do not have life in you.”!
Everyone has Free-Will. May all be blessed to choose to Honor God, be in His Church, receive His Body and Blood in Catholic Communion, and be grateful to believe in The God Whose Love for us is enough to provide The Miracle of Transubstantiation.
May all have the joy of believing in a God with The Power to Fulfill God’s “Hidden Prophecies”, even one as bizarre as “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood, you do not have life in you.”
May no one be too conceited or confused to deny the importance of Today: “The Solemnity of The Most Holy Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.”
