Question 2: “Who is the ‘you’ to whom St. John is speaking?”
Answer: “‘He identifies three groups of people: ‘To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his Blood,’ The first ‘us’ includes all the peoples in the world.”
~
Question 3: “Who is in the second ‘us’?”
Answer: “Those who are blessed to have been to be ‘freed from our sins by His Blood’. The second ‘us’ are those blessed to receive The Catholic Sacraments. They include the Absolution that allows us to receive His ‘Body and Blood’ in Catholic Communion.”
~
Question 4: “Why can only Catholics receive His Actual Body and ‘Blood’?”
Answer: “Only Catholics respect Jesus enough to obey The Call to Catholic Communion that Jesus Christ repeated 14 times: ‘If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.’
Catholics know that Jesus has The Power to give His Catholic priests His Authority to preside over The Miracle of Transubstantiation at every Catholic Mass that followed The Last Supper. That is when He transformed bread and wine into That Holy Food.
God lets Catholics who receive His Holy Wafer at Communion understand This Simple Fact! ‘There is no Body without Blood and no Blood without a Body.’
That brings us to the third ‘us’.”
~
Question 5: “Who is included in that third ‘us’ ?
Answer: “Catholic priests and religious are in Christ’s Third Holy ‘us’; ‘ . . who has made ‘us’ into a Kingdom, priests for His God and Father, to Him be glory and power forever and ever. Amen.’”
~
Question 5: “Do all three groups of people among ‘us’ share one belief?”
Answer: “All of ‘us’ know that His Judgment is coming to all of ‘us’! ‘Behold, he is coming amid the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him. All the peoples of the earth will lament Him. Yes. Amen.’”
~
Question 6: “How do we know that?”
Answer: Today’s Reading tells us: ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says The Lord God, ‘The One Who Is and Who Was and Who Is to come, the Almighty.’”
~
Question 7: “What makes Catholics and their priests and religious so special to ‘The Lord God’?”
Answer: “We are the only people on earth whom He has blessed to Think Clearly about what ‘Almighty’ means.”
