Catholics love St. Paul’s short Letter to The Galatians that introduces us to “God’s Catholic Nation” and “The Holy Food” that feeds us!
~
Question 1: “Why do Catholics love ‘Galatians’?”
Answer: “Our faith is often attacked! We are grateful to St. Paul for reminding us of this Simple Fact in Gal. 3:7-14: ‘Brothers and sisters: Realize that it is those who have faith who are children of Abraham.’
Catholics know: ‘Scripture, which saw in advance that God would justify the Gentiles, foretold the good news to Abraham when He said: ‘Through you shall all the nations be blessed.’”
~
Question 2: “How does that help Catholics?”
Answer: “We are the only people in ‘God’s Catholic Nation’: ‘Consequently, those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham who had faith.’”
~
Question 3: “What lets people be in ‘God’s Catholic Nation’ that exists among all the people on earth?”
Answer: “We are blessed with the ‘faith’ to obey The Church-Creating Word of Jesus Christ 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.’ That ‘Faith’ lets us be in ‘God’s Catholic Nation’.“

Question 4: “What happens to those who reject the ‘faith’ to be in ‘God’s Catholic Nation’?”
Answer: “They sink into ‘The Law Swamp’! ‘For all who depend on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, Cursed be everyone who does not persevere in doing all the things written in the book of the law.’ Those sinking in ‘The Law Swamp’ keep themselves from ‘Faith’ in He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies.”
~
Question 5: “How does being in ‘God’s Catholic Nation’ of ‘Faith-filled Believers’ help us?”
Answer: “‘And that no one is justified before God by the law is clear, for the one who is righteous by faith will live. But the law does not depend on faith; rather, the one who does these things will live by them. Christ ransomed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written, Cursed be everyone who hangs on a tree, . . .’”
~
Question 6: “Does that let us be in ‘The Catholic Nation’ that receives ‘the blessing of Abraham’?”
Answer: “St. Paul tells us ‘. . . that the blessing of Abraham might be extended to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.’”
~
Question 7: “Does Today’s Psalm tell us how Catholics know we are in ‘The Catholic Nation’?”
Answer: “Today’s Psalm 111:1-6 includes: ‘The Lord will remember his covenant for ever. He has given food to those who fear Him; He will forever be mindful of His covenant. He has made known to His people the power of His works, giving them the inheritance of the nations.’”
~
Question 8: “Does that ‘food’ come from the Transformation of bread and wine into The Body and Blood of Jesus Christ provided by Catholic priests in Catholic Communion at every Catholic Mass for the past 2,000 years?”
Answer: “Those in ‘The Catholic Nation’ answer that with a resounding ‘Yes!’ that echoes through every Age and Nation.”
