1. Curriculum.
The entire curriculum describing the way to everlasting life is found in the Liturgy of the Mass. It is expressed in three identical ways as described by the four Gospels and celebrated in three Cycles; A, B and C. It begins with Advent, goes through Lent and
Easter and ends with Pentecost.
In the Gospels, the Liturgy describes the complete training of the apostles, thus the training to be undergone by priests and bishops. At the same time, it describes the spirituality souls must undergo, both of the laity and the clergy. The liturgy described it progressively starting with the life of repentance during Advent, going through Faith during Lent, to Hope in Holy Week, and ends up with Charity during Easter.
2. The ultimate goal.
To be saved we must obey the command of Christ 'to love God and neighbor.' This is attained during Easter and Pentecost. The priest and bishop must first attain this spirituality of Easter and Pentecost before they can teach this to others. Thus it is only after Easter and Pentecost where the Apostles were given the power to forgive sins and to preach to all nations. Note that the apostles could not forgive sins until Easter and could not preach until after Pentecost.
Today, priest and bishops are absolving sins even without reaching the spirituality of Easter; and they are preaching without reaching the spirituality of Pentecost. There is, therefore, the great possibility that sins are not forgiven and no one is being evangelized. We are producing a catholic church where sins are not forgiven and souls are not Catholics......because priests and bishops have not attained the spirituality of Easter and Pentecost. There is no greater tragedy that can occur in the church than this; the tragedy that Easter and Pentecost have not taken place in the Vatican Church. It certainly happened in the true Church of Christ. But it seems it have not happened in the Vatican church of Pope Francis; and that includes all of us.
3. Easter and Pentecost had already occurred in the true Church.
For individuals to share in these mysteries and receive the gift of Charity, which is the love of God and neighbor, all they have to do is to enter the true Church of Christ. Even the beginnings of spirituality, namely, the forgiveness of sins and the acquiring of Faith and Hope can be possessed simply by entering the true Church. So Easter and Pentecost can be experienced simply by entering the Church; because the Holy Spirit is already in the Church. There is no need to be shouting and calling down the Spirit again. They should just enter the true Church.
But here is the problem. Nobody knows where the true Church is and they do not know how to enter the true Church. So most Catholics are not experiencing Easter; the mystery that enables priest to forgive sins and love their neighbor. And they do not experience Pentecost; the mystery that enables priest to preach effectively and love God. The result is that the laymen do not know how to love neighbor and God; the two necessary commands needed for the salvation of souls according to the Words of Christ.
4. See what we are missing.
For priests and bishops, note these steps. On Easter, Christ breathed on His apostles and gave them the power to love their neighbor and forgive sins. Without living the asceticism of Easter, priests and bishops and Popes cannot love their neighbor and cannot forgive sins.
On Pentecost, Christ gave the apostles the Holy Spirit that enabled them to love God and to preach to all nations. These two actions of Christ can be read in the Gospels of the day. So without living the asceticism of Pentecost, priests, bishops and the Pope cannot love God and cannot evangelize people by teaching them how to love God.
With these two above happening today, there can be no Catholic church today. And there are no sins forgiven.
5. The problem.
The problem is not in the Sacraments of Penance nor in ordinations. The problem is the lack of spirituality. God works in the soul depending on their spirituality. God save souls if they have lived the spirituality of Easter. God sends preachers who have lived the spirituality of Pentecost. God cannot do anything in a soul that has no spirituality. Judas, the bishop, could not forgive sins and could not preach because he did not have the needed spirituality. neither can Pope Francis lead the catholic church without the needed spirituality. Note how the Liturgy of Easter and Pentecost, precisely, showed St. Peter undergoing the spirituality of Easter and Pentecost.
6. Love of God and neighbor.
Charity is love of God and neighbor. The very act of Charity forgives all past sins without the need for confession because 'Love of God covers a multitude of sins.' In the Catechism it is called 'perfect act of contrition.' Charity is, also, obedience to all the commands of Christ. So Charity forgives all sin and enables us to obey all the commands of Christ which is a sign of love of God; 'if you love Me, keep My commandments.' So Charity is what saves our soul.
But Charity is a virtue that can come only from the Holy Spirit. It is humanly impossible to love God and neighbor, properly defined. No one receives the Holy Spirit unless he had repented, and received the gift of Faith, Christ said so. Faith is what brings us inside the Church. And the Spirit is received only within the Church. And who is within the Church? Those who can give the 15 Marks of the Church described by St. Robert Bellarmine. If you are inside you should have these 15 signs and know what they are. If you do not know what these signs are, you are nowhere inside. And you just don't have it.
7. The catholic charismatics are mere Montanists or Corinthians and are mostly close to the Protestant classical Pentecostals. They are not catholics.
The truly Catholic Pentecostals are those who have reached the spirituality of Easter and Pentecost. These are almost the highest degrees of spirituality and fall under the Mystical life common among hermits. Yes, the truly Catholic Charismatics are mostly hermits.
The manifestations in the charismatic catholic movement are similar to the Montanists sect, a sect started by a pagan priest who converted into Catholicism and brought with him into the Church some pagan practices. So the manifestations commonly called charismatic gifts are mere pagan practices incorporated into the church.
These are similar to the manifestations amongst the Corinthians; they wrongly described the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in them so much so that St. Paul had to correct them saying; 'if you truly have the Spirit you would not make a mistake in defining them. But since your description is wrong I have to correct you and describe them in the right way. The Corinthians were eventually lost from the Church. They would have never been lost if they truly had the Spirit.
The catholic charismatic movement as featured with Pope Francis is purely classical Protestant Pentecostalism. Even Pope Francis had been described by Protestants as mainline Protestant. And the pictures of Pope Francis with the charismatics looks like a bunch of college students in a campus demonstration rather than a community of hermits.
The spirituality of Easter and Pentecost is described by Garrigou-Lagrange in his 'three stages of the spiritual life.' The third state is the true charismatic. In summary, true charismatics must have all the 15 marks of the true Church as described by St. Robert Bellarmine, Jesuit saint and doctor of the Church.

CLIMATE CHANGE- High Pelagian Heresy.
1. The idea behind the Climate change agreement in France is the highest degree of Pelagian Heresy. France is no stranger to heresies. From France came the great heresies of modernism and the French revolution whose two favorite daughters are Secular democracy and militant communism. The heretical basis of Global warming and climate change agreed on in France is the synthesis of the worst heresies from the Catholic point of view. And it is a moral act for nations to abandon that group for the sake of their souls.
2. Pelagian heresy.
The Pelagian heresy states that humans do not need the help of God in all his activities; that they can do everything by themselves.They believe they can control the climate from deteriorating so they can continue to enjoy the world. There are two errors in this; one, that man can control the climate and, secondly, that man can continue enjoying the world as he pleases
St. Thomas wrote that man cannot even prevent a bird from falling dead nor prevent his hair from falling. And man cannot even move a finger without God's help. Three teachings of the Church are violated here; first, the teaching that God controls the entire creation wherewith not a single bird can fall without His permission. Secondly, the teaching that God directly controls human affairs, directly or permissively. And thirdly, that no one knows the future unless God reveals it through a prophet, like Padre Pio.
In short, man cannot cause nor prevent climate change. God decides that. If God decides to change the climate, there is absolute nothing man can do about it.
God, also, decides the course of human affairs. St. Thomas wrote; 'man does but God decides the outcome,' i.e. man use coal but God decides whether it will cause global warming or begin a second ice age.
This is the most basic truth of the Catholic Church. It is called Divine Providence. The issues in climate change are denials of the existence of God and the Providence of God. Both denials are heresies. And there is a third error here; i.e. that no one can know the future unless revealed by God, who knows all thing, through a prophet as He had always done in the past.
If we cannot predict the weather tomorrow what makes us think we can know the future that is based on a thousand variables like climate change. Simply presented, climate change is based on three errors.
3. The heresies are politicized. President Trump's stand is right.
Pope Francis is wrong.
As usual the heresies were used to suppress the truths so the 'covetous man' can earn more money by suppressing others. It is the classical move of the rich surpressing the lower and middle class to get richer.
A fourth truth is being suppressed by proponents of climate change. And that is.....that the world was created by God so man can use it for the salvation of his soul; to provide for his human and bodily needs while the Church provides for his spiritual needs.
4. A wrong idea.
It is a wrong idea that man was placed in this world to take care of it. The primitive tribes got it right. They believed that the world was created for their use and they must take care of it so they can get the greatest benefit from it. The world was, first, for the benefit of man. And only afterwards must he take care of it so he can continuously benefit from it. The benefit of man cannot be sacrificed to preserve the climate.
The primary reason for creation is to provide men his bodily needs to be able to repent. These needs, according to St. Paul are food, shelter and clothing. Today that would mean holding a job. So President Trump's idea of withdrawing from the Parish climate change agreement so that men can have jobs and provide for their food, shelter and clothing is very wise because it is according to God's purpose for creation.
What will happen in the future as a consequence of this withdrawal is in the hands of God and not in the hands of these unbelievers in France. If the jobs in coal mines help men repent then this is a good work and God will reward such a nation with abundant blessings. It is when creation is misused to further one's perverted passions like building resorts for Sodomists, gays and lesbians, then God will not only send global warming but fire and brimstone. Everything can be reduced to this; do good and God will reward you. Go against God's teachings and He will punish you.
5. Using creation for man's salvation is a work pleasing to God.
Helping men with jobs so they can more easily repent is a very good work. God will reward such an act with spiritual blessings and material resources. Even a fine weather.
To go against God's teachings, like denying His existence and His Divine Providence is a great evil. God punishes such with tsunamis, earthquake, wars, droughts, etc.., global warming and even rain of fire and brimstones. The French agreement on climate change and Pope Francis' "Laudato si' is an invitation for Divine Punishment.
It is no wonder that there is a prophecy that the world will end up being burned by fire. It is because of the heresies of these people in France......and in the Vatican. So while there is time, leave that climate change and global warming nonsense.

The French agreement on climate change and Pope Francis' "Laudato si' is an invitation for Divine Punishment.
It is no wonder that there is a prophecy that the world will end up being burned by fire. It is because of the heresies of these people in France......and in the Vatican. So while there is time, leave that climate change and global warming nonsense.
2. Pelagian heresy.
The Pelagian heresy states that humans do not need the help of God in all his activities; that they can do everything by themselves.They believe they can control the climate from deteriorating so they can continue to enjoy the world. There are two errors in this; one, that man can control the climate and, secondly, that man can continue enjoying the world as he pleases
St. Thomas wrote that man cannot even prevent a bird from falling dead nor prevent his hair from falling. And man cannot even move a finger without God's help. Three teachings of the Church are violated here; first, the teaching that God controls the entire creation wherewith not a single bird can fall without His permission. Secondly, the teaching that God directly controls human affairs, directly or permissively. And thirdly, that no one knows the future unless God reveals it through a prophet, like Padre Pio.
In short, man cannot cause nor prevent climate change. God decides that. If God decides to change the climate, there is absolute nothing man can do about it.
God, also, decides the course of human affairs. St. Thomas wrote; 'man does but God decides the outcome,' i.e. man use coal but God decides whether it will cause global warming or begin a second ice age.
This is the most basic truth of the Catholic Church. It is called Divine Providence. The issues in climate change are denials of the existence of God and the Providence of God. Both denials are heresies. And there is a third error here; i.e. that no one can know the future unless revealed by God, who knows all thing, through a prophet as He had always done in the past.
If we cannot predict the weather tomorrow what makes us think we can know the future that is based on a thousand variables like climate change. Simply presented, climate change is based on three errors.
3. The heresies are politicized. President Trump's stand is right.
Pope Francis is wrong.
As usual the heresies were used to suppress the truths so the 'covetous man' can earn more money by suppressing others. It is the classical move of the rich surpressing the lower and middle class to get richer.
A fourth truth is being suppressed by proponents of climate change. And that is.....that the world was created by God so man can use it for the salvation of his soul; to provide for his human and bodily needs while the Church provides for his spiritual needs.
4. A wrong idea.
It is a wrong idea that man was placed in this world to take care of it. The primitive tribes got it right. They believed that the world was created for their use and they must take care of it so they can get the greatest benefit from it. The world was, first, for the benefit of man. And only afterwards must he take care of it so he can continuously benefit from it. The benefit of man cannot be sacrificed to preserve the climate.
The primary reason for creation is to provide men his bodily needs to be able to repent. These needs, according to St. Paul are food, shelter and clothing. Today that would mean holding a job. So President Trump's idea of withdrawing from the Parish climate change agreement so that men can have jobs and provide for their food, shelter and clothing is very wise because it is according to God's purpose for creation.
What will happen in the future as a consequence of this withdrawal is in the hands of God and not in the hands of these unbelievers in France. If the jobs in coal mines help men repent then this is a good work and God will reward such a nation with abundant blessings. It is when creation is misused to further one's perverted passions like building resorts for Sodomists, gays and lesbians, then God will not only send global warming but fire and brimstone. Everything can be reduced to this; do good and God will reward you. Go against God's teachings and He will punish you.
5. Using creation for man's salvation is a work pleasing to God.
Helping men with jobs so they can more easily repent is a very good work. God will reward such an act with spiritual blessings and material resources. Even a fine weather.
To go against God's teachings, like denying His existence and His Divine Providence is a great evil. God punishes such with tsunamis, earthquake, wars, droughts, etc.., global warming and even rain of fire and brimstones. The French agreement on climate change and Pope Francis' "Laudato si' is an invitation for Divine Punishment.
It is no wonder that there is a prophecy that the world will end up being burned by fire. It is because of the heresies of these people in France......and in the Vatican. So while there is time, leave that climate change and global warming nonsense.

ASCENSION
1. Ascension is almost graduation.
Journey into the Catholic Church starts with the virtue of Penance. One is inside the Catholic Church with the virtue of Faith. And one is completely inside the Church on Easter with the virtue of Charity.
Then on Pentecost, one is ready to go to preach to all nations. The true preacher is one who is 'sent by God.' Not one who goes out on his own or sent by men.
2. When to preach to all nations.
Christ had been telling the apostles to preach to all nations. In a few attempts to preach, the apostles could see that they were having problems, like the inability to drive away devils.
Those few times wherein Christ told His apostles to preach can be considered as dry runs to show the apostles the problems they should expect.
Strictly speaking Christ told His apostles to preach to all nations, only. after Pentecost because that was the only time that they were fully prepared.
3. Before Pentecost, the apostles were not yet ready to teach souls how to love their neighbors and how to love God. He had not yet breathed on them that they may receive the Holy Spirit. St. Augustine wrote that during that time when Christ breathed on them, they did not really receive the Holy Spirit. They only received the power to love one's neighbor, a power they needed to be able to teach their listeners to love one's neighbor as the Gospel of John on Pentecost showed. And they have not yet receive the Holy Spirit in the form of fire, the first reading on Pentecost, that will give them the power to love God. They needed these powers to teach others how to love God and neighbor, both necessary for salvation.
Before Pentecost, Christ had not breathed on them to receive the power to forgive sins as noted on the Gospel of Pentecost. The power to forgive sins is given to those who have reached the spirituality of Pentecost. It comes along with the power to be able to love God and one's neighbor which is a supernatural act.
4. To preach to all nations on Ascension.
The Gospel of Ascension shows Christ commanding His apostles 'to go therefore and make disciples of all nations, etc. ' At this time the apostles could not do this because they were not yet ready to do this. They were still undergoing training. And in fact, though they were told to go 'to make disciples of all nations,' they did not do so because they knew they were not yet prepared and that was not yet the final signal to go ahead.
Christ gave the instruction on how to evangelize. But notice that at that point they were unable to do so because they have not reached the spirituality of Easter and Pentecost. Note the command of Christ; first, 'make disciples of all nations. Secondly, 'baptize them in the name of the Father......' Thirdly, 'teach them to carry out everything I have commanded.' Fourthly, 'and know that I am with you always.'
5. Its impossible!
The apostles could 'make disciples' because this consist simply in teaching them the Old Testament which is merely the natural law. Anybody can do this. The apostles could do the second, 'to baptize' because this consist, merely, in pouring some water and saying a short formula. Anybody can do this, too.
But to teach them the commands and to carry out everything I have commanded,' cannot be done by men. These teachings can only be taught by the Holy Spirit and obedience to these teachings can only be empowered by the Holy Spirit. This third part can only be done by someone who have received the Holy Spirit.
It is impossible for someone to obey the Gospel of Ascension who does not possess the Holy Spirit.
'I am with you always until the end of the world.' Christ said this to the apostles who were living in community as a church and where all have reached the spirituality expressed in the Liturgy of Pentecost. During Ascension Christ could not be with them as Someone in the Church because He had not yet ascended.
6. Conclusions.
In the Liturgy of Ascension we see that the apostles have not yet completed their training that would end in Pentecost. So they could not go out and preach yet. The official go signal will be given after Pentecost. And in fact, they formally went about preaching after Pentecost.
So before Pentecost the apostles couldn't do the following. First, they could not teach all nations 'the love of neighbor' because the power to do so have not yet been given to them. This was given to them when Christ breathed on them as described during Pentecost Sunday. Secondly, they could not forgive sins because Christ had not yet breathed on them to give them that power to bind and to loose, which Christ gave when He breathed on them on Pentecost Sunday. Thirdly, they did not know all the commands of Christ and how to observe them because this is taught by the Holy Spirit which they have not yet received. And fourthly, Christ was not yet in the Church because He had not yet ascended to heaven. Besides that is the last step.
There is a great suspicion that the Vatican church today, does not have these four just mentioned characteristics of the Church. First, there is ignorance of the Old Testament the knowledge of which makes disciples of all nations. Personified by Pope Francis, it is noticeable that most do not know the spirituality of the Old Testament, which is perfectly described in the Book of wisdom (Esdras.) Pope Francis does not even know that adultery is against the commands of God. Secondly, Pope Francis lacks charity towards the 'good guys' like Bishop Livieres (now deceased), the Franciscans of the Immaculate, the Knights of Malta, and the Institute of the Good Shepherd. Though he is very nice towards the 'bad guys'; nice towards the immigrants while totally negligent towards the martyred Christians of the Middle East. Thirdly, Pope Francis is forgiving towards all unrepentant sinners even to the point of abolishing hell and insulting towards the repentant conservative orders. Fourthly, everyone is feeling that Christ is not with the Vatican Church as Christ promised 'I am with you always until the end of the world.'
The Holy Spirit is not in the charismatics nor in the evangelicals. Those who understand the spirituality of Pentecost, which is the Mystical life as described by Garrigou Lagrange, can clearly see the Spirit is nowhere around the charismatics. The Spirit is definitely in the Church but not in the church that is today popularly called catholic church. Maybe in a true Christian church?
So who is going around preaching an entirely new religion and a new church. Clearly thieves and robber out there to steal and to kill.

The THREE APPARITIONS of CHRIST......6th Sunday of EASTER
1. The three apparitions of Christ.
The Liturgy of the Mass gives us signs by which we can know if we are going to heaven or not. These signs are examples of two groups; one destined to go to heaven and another who will not go to heaven. An example is in a Gospel where we are shown the example of Dives, the rich man. And Lazarus, the poor beggar. Dives ended up in hell while Lazarus went to the bosom of Abraham.
The whole Liturgy follow this pattern so much so that at the end of the Liturgical year, a Catholic can know if he is going to heaven or not.
2. The three apparitions of Christ.
We may say that Christ had three apparitions. First; when He was born as a man on Christmas day. Here, all men saw Him. And even today, all men can see how He looked like during His first apparition. Secondly; Christ appeared in His glorified Body after Easter. Here, only those destined to go to heaven saw Him. Those who were not destined to go to heaven did not see Him. Thirdly; there will be a third apparition during judgment day. All will see Him on judgment day.
So all can see Him in the first and third apparition while only those destined for heaven will see Him on the second apparition.
The second apparition becomes very important for the soul desirous to be saved.
3. The second apparition
Regarding the second apparition, Christ said; 'If you love me and obey the commands I give you, I will ask the Father and he will give you another Paraclete - to be with you always, the spirit of truth whom the world cannot accept, since it neither sees him nor recognizes him because he remains with you and will be within you,'
Here are the reasons why a few chosen disciple saw the second apparition of Christ after Easter. First; because they have proofs that God loves them and they have loved God in return by obeying His commands. Secondly; because they have obeyed Christ's commands, Christ gave them the Holy Spirit. Thirdly; having received the Holy Spirit they were able to see and recognize Christ in His second apparition after Easter. And fourthly; because of all the above, the Holy Spirit will remain within them. And this will be their guarantee of salvation.
4. Sequence
Those who saw Christ in His first appearance but did not see Him after Easter, will see Him in His third appearance on judgment day and receive his just punishment. Those who saw Christ in His first appearance and, also, saw Him after Easter, will receive their just reward in His third appearance.
So the second appearance of Christ after Easter is important. All will see Christ in His first and third appearance. But only those destined to heaven will see His second appearance. As the Gospel clearly said 'we must see and recognize Him,' referring to the second appearance. Those who will be lost are those 'who neither sees Him nor recognizes Him.'
5. Who will see Christ in His second apparition?
Those who have done three things mentioned in the Apostolic Commission found in the Gospel of Matthew. First, those who have received the preaching of the Apostles. Secondly, those who have received God's grace that will enable them to understand and obey the commands of Christ. Thirdly, those who with the grace of God had actually obeyed the commands of Christ. This clear in the first part of the Gospel. Let's take it one by one. Who will behold the second appearance of Christ as he appeared after Easter?
First; those who have heard the preachings of the Apostles. This preaching consist of the commands of God the Father as found in the Old Testament and summarized in the 10 commandments of God; it also contains the commands of God the Son as found in the New Testament and summarized in the 8 Beatitudes. These commands are difficult to understand. Grace is needed to understand these, and grace is obtained through Baptism.
Second; the needed grace is obtained through Baptism. Without grace the commands cannot be fully understood and as a consequence they cannot be obeyed. With the help of this grace it will be possible to obey the commands of Christ.
Thirdly; those who are able to obey the commands of Christ because they have done the two above steps are now disposed to see the second appearance of Christ. This is the guarantee of salvation.
6. The defects.
The preachings of most preachers is defective. None have taught all the commands of God in the Old Testament together with all the commands of Jesus in the New Testament. So the first step required for the second apparition is lacking.
Then, they are baptized and receive grace. Though the grace is there, the subject of the grace which is the commands of God are not in the mind of the recipient. So grace has nothing to clarify; nothing to work on. With nothing to do, grace abandons the soul. Grace leaves the soul in the first actual sin committed after Baptism. With the first and second steps lacking the third step is not forthcoming. The soul, like the Jews on Easter, will not see the second apparition, the appearance of Christ after Easter.
7. Can the defect be corrected?
Yes. The steps can be rearranged. Because of the mess up, we can start with acquiring the grace, i.e. the second step. Then go to the first step, i.e. studying the commands of God the Father in the Old Testament as summarized in the 10 commandments and the commands of Christ in the New Testament as summarized in the Beatitudes. With both the grace and the knowledge of the commands of Christ, we will be able to obey the commands of Christ and see the Christ seen after Easter. Our salvation is assured.
The three steps we have just mentioned are the three steps of evangelization; preach to all nations, baptizing them....and teaching them all My commands and how to observe them. This is the way to qualify seeing the resurrected Christ. What if we mess things up? Well, we can repeat the first and third steps but we cannot undergo Baptism again. So what? We still have six other sacraments which are sources of graces. We can receive Holy Communion more often to receive graces. Besides, there is a great fountain of grace in the Catholic Church and that is unceasing prayer. The Sacraments are not as available. Holy Communion can only be received at Mass and with a priest. While unceasing prayer can be done by anybody anywhere and anytime.
8. Have Pope Francis and the bishops seen the resurrected Christ?
Not Francis and not most of the bishop. Like during the time of the apostles, maybe a handful will.
Because in his 'amores laetitia' Francis did not even know the command of Christ in the New Testament commanding the need for chastity. He does not follow the 6th and 9th command of God in the Old Testament. Even if he had graces he would loss the grace for disobeying the commands of God. With his disobedience to the commands of God and his lost of grace for disobeying the commands of Christ, he surely have not seen Christ in His second apparition. He cannot go to heaven as he is.
Christ said; 'if you love Me and obey the commands I give you, I will ask he Father and he will give you another Paraclete to be with you always, the spirit of truth whom the world cannot accept since it neither sees him nor recognizes him.'
Pope Francis has a long list of commands of Christ that he disobeyed. So he does not know the Son, does not know the Father and does not know the Paraclete, the Spirit of truth.' No wonder everything he says is untrue.
Christ ends saying; 'he who obeys my commandments he has from me is the man who loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father. I too will love him and reveal myself to him.'
Because Francis had disobeyed Christ's commands (now listed in more than 100 pages) Francis is not loved by Christ, not loved by the Father and'......Christ said; 'I will not reveal myself to him.' Francis will not see Christ's second apparition.
The Liturgy of the Mass gives us signs by which we can know if we are going to heaven or not. These signs are examples of two groups; one destined to go to heaven and another who will not go to heaven. An example is in a Gospel where we are shown the example of Dives, the rich man. And Lazarus, the poor beggar. Dives ended up in hell while Lazarus went to the bosom of Abraham.
The whole Liturgy follow this pattern so much so that at the end of the Liturgical year, a Catholic can know if he is going to heaven or not.
2. The three apparitions of Christ.
We may say that Christ had three apparitions. First; when He was born as a man on Christmas day. Here, all men saw Him. And even today, all men can see how He looked like during His first apparition. Secondly; Christ appeared in His glorified Body after Easter. Here, only those destined to go to heaven saw Him. Those who were not destined to go to heaven did not see Him. Thirdly; there will be a third apparition during judgment day. All will see Him on judgment day.
So all can see Him in the first and third apparition while only those destined for heaven will see Him on the second apparition.
The second apparition becomes very important for the soul desirous to be saved.
3. The second apparition
Regarding the second apparition, Christ said; 'If you love me and obey the commands I give you, I will ask the Father and he will give you another Paraclete - to be with you always, the spirit of truth whom the world cannot accept, since it neither sees him nor recognizes him because he remains with you and will be within you,'
Here are the reasons why a few chosen disciple saw the second apparition of Christ after Easter. First; because they have proofs that God loves them and they have loved God in return by obeying His commands. Secondly; because they have obeyed Christ's commands, Christ gave them the Holy Spirit. Thirdly; having received the Holy Spirit they were able to see and recognize Christ in His second apparition after Easter. And fourthly; because of all the above, the Holy Spirit will remain within them. And this will be their guarantee of salvation.
4. Sequence
Those who saw Christ in His first appearance but did not see Him after Easter, will see Him in His third appearance on judgment day and receive his just punishment. Those who saw Christ in His first appearance and, also, saw Him after Easter, will receive their just reward in His third appearance.
So the second appearance of Christ after Easter is important. All will see Christ in His first and third appearance. But only those destined to heaven will see His second appearance. As the Gospel clearly said 'we must see and recognize Him,' referring to the second appearance. Those who will be lost are those 'who neither sees Him nor recognizes Him.'
5. Who will see Christ in His second apparition?
Those who have done three things mentioned in the Apostolic Commission found in the Gospel of Matthew. First, those who have received the preaching of the Apostles. Secondly, those who have received God's grace that will enable them to understand and obey the commands of Christ. Thirdly, those who with the grace of God had actually obeyed the commands of Christ. This clear in the first part of the Gospel. Let's take it one by one. Who will behold the second appearance of Christ as he appeared after Easter?
First; those who have heard the preachings of the Apostles. This preaching consist of the commands of God the Father as found in the Old Testament and summarized in the 10 commandments of God; it also contains the commands of God the Son as found in the New Testament and summarized in the 8 Beatitudes. These commands are difficult to understand. Grace is needed to understand these, and grace is obtained through Baptism.
Second; the needed grace is obtained through Baptism. Without grace the commands cannot be fully understood and as a consequence they cannot be obeyed. With the help of this grace it will be possible to obey the commands of Christ.
Thirdly; those who are able to obey the commands of Christ because they have done the two above steps are now disposed to see the second appearance of Christ. This is the guarantee of salvation.
6. The defects.
The preachings of most preachers is defective. None have taught all the commands of God in the Old Testament together with all the commands of Jesus in the New Testament. So the first step required for the second apparition is lacking.
Then, they are baptized and receive grace. Though the grace is there, the subject of the grace which is the commands of God are not in the mind of the recipient. So grace has nothing to clarify; nothing to work on. With nothing to do, grace abandons the soul. Grace leaves the soul in the first actual sin committed after Baptism. With the first and second steps lacking the third step is not forthcoming. The soul, like the Jews on Easter, will not see the second apparition, the appearance of Christ after Easter.
7. Can the defect be corrected?
Yes. The steps can be rearranged. Because of the mess up, we can start with acquiring the grace, i.e. the second step. Then go to the first step, i.e. studying the commands of God the Father in the Old Testament as summarized in the 10 commandments and the commands of Christ in the New Testament as summarized in the Beatitudes. With both the grace and the knowledge of the commands of Christ, we will be able to obey the commands of Christ and see the Christ seen after Easter. Our salvation is assured.
