Catholics Thank God for Mary! She kept God from “abandoning” us.
~
Question 1: “How do Words of The Prophets become a Psalm in praise of Mary?”
Answer: “Micah 5:1-4 gives us Prophecy of God about a tiny village: ‘The Lord says: You, Bethlehem-Ephrathah, too small to be among the clans of Judah, From you shall come forth for Me one who is to be ruler in Israel: His origin is from of old, from ancient times.’”
~
Question 2: “What will happen to ‘the clans of Judah’?”
Answer: “God will temporarily abandon them! ‘Therefore the Lord will give them up, until the time when She who is to give birth has borne.’”
~
Question 3: “What happens after Mary gives birth to Jesus in Bethlehem?”
Answer: “‘And the rest of his brethren shall return to the children of Israel.’”
~
Question 4: “Are ‘The Lord’s ‘brethren’ those who understand and live by The Teachings of Mary’s Son?”
Answer: “For 2,000 years, Catholics have learned and lived by The Only Church-Creating Word of Mary’s Son!
‘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.’”
~
Question 5: “Why did only The Catholic Church remain Faithful to Every Word of Mary’s Son?”
Answer: “‘The gates of hell’ could not prevail against The Church Her Son Spoke Into Being with His Holy Word!
‘He shall stand firm and shepherd His flock by the strength of The LORD, in the majestic name of The LORD, His God; And they shall remain, for now His greatness shall reach to the ends of the earth; He shall be peace.’”
~
Question 6: “Has ‘His greatness reached to the ends of the earth’?”
Answer: “His 12 Disciples made billions of Catholic believers all over the world! They all support This Catholic Teaching: ‘Life must be protected from conception until natural death.’”
~
Question 7: “Is Mary the living link Who connects God’s Old Testament to His New Testament?”
Answer: “Today’s Psalm is 13:6. It celebrates The Nativity of Mary and comes from Isaiah 61:10, another Prophet!
Reading 1: ‘With delight I rejoice in the Lord. Though I trusted in Your mercy, let my heart rejoice in Your salvation.’
Response: ‘With delight I rejoice in The Lord.’
Reading 2: ‘Let me sing of The Lord, He has been good to me.’
Response: ‘With delight I rejoice in the Lord.’”

May God bless every person ‘with delight’ to be Catholic and forever among: “You are My friends if you obey My commands.”
