Feast of ST. ANDREW - HOW TO BEGIN ESTABLISHING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

 1. What Christ taught and did.
     If we want to be truly Catholic we must do what Christ said and do what He did. 
     We are today faced with a serious problem. We cannot find the Catholic Church. When using the four visible signs of the Church as found in the Nicene Creed or using the equivalent marks described by the Fathers of the Church and the saints, all the more we can see that the Catholic Church is nowhere to be found. 
     Well, the whole Liturgy of the Mass, especially the Sundays and Weekdays before the Feast of Christ the King tells us that it will be really be difficult if not impossible to find the Catholic Church. Try it yourself using the only reliable signs mentioned in the catechism. 
     If you cannot find the Church, what will you do? To continue looking for it might make you take a trip all around the world. Because according to Catholic News, it is nowhere around the world. So what do we do? Christ had given us the first steps in the Apostolic Commission in a very simple formula. Start establishing the Church in your own home among your family. The parish priest should start it in his parish and the bishop should start it in his diocese.
     If I start it in my family, I will be in the right direction. The reason why the Church cannot be found,  is because no parent, no parish priest, no bishop and not even Pope Francis is evangelising. In fact, Pope Francis said that evangelising is a lot of nonsense. If so how will we save souls? See what I mean.

2. The feast of St. Andrew.
    The Gospel of the Feast of St. Andrew tells us how to begin. It is in imitation on how Christ begun and which, today,  nobody is doing. If we must do things right we must know what Christ said and what Christ did. 

3. How did Christ call His first disciples?
     This is how we should call those who are to be the first members of the Catholic Church. There must be first members before we can call others. The others must be called the way we call the first but with some variation.
     The Gospel is very clear on how the first apostles were called and we must follow this procedure. Christ is said to have called two brothers, Peter and Andrew. Then He called another set of two brothers, James on John. Note that the first disciples Christ called were brothers. They were not only brothers, evidently they were also from the same town and they were engaged in the same work. So, they were almost alike, brothers, fishermen and from around the lake. Why this?
     To make up the Catholic Church, the first members must be supernaturally of one mind and one heart. This is a supernatural process  only God can do. Only God can unite in a supernatural way a group of souls. But it will be more propitious if the members of the group are naturally of one mind and heart before they can be raised up to the supernatural order; like it would be better if they were brothers united in heart and mind in some way, neighbors and engaged in the same job which would make their thinking identical. As St.Tnomas of Aquinas would say, grace builds on nature. If the first members of the Catholic Church are naturally of one mind and one heart, it would be easier to make them supernaturally of one heart and one mind thus making them a community of Catholics.
     It would be almost impossible to try to unite in the natural sphere four people who are not related, who are engaged in jobs that are contradictory to one another and people from  four continents. It is possible but it would be very difficult. So Christ taught us to begin with the easier then go to the more difficult. And that makes a lot of sense rather than Pope Francis's almost useless attempts to unite people of opposing religions, Anglicans, Moslems, Buddhist, animist into a one world religion. 

     So Christ showed us how to evangelise; begin with two brothers, Peter and Andrew. Continue with two other brothers James and John. Continue with two sisters; continue with two of the same nationality and same job, etc, etc. St. Basil splendidly did this in his Basiliades in which the EU idea was based on in an attempt by Europe to return to its Christian roots but was hyjacked by diabolical forces of covetous millionaires. 
     The Eastern churches who follow St. Basil's rule and venerate St. Andrew come closer to the true Church of Christ  than the Vatican church who leans  more toward Martin Luther. Have you seen the latest Vatican stamp? It is Jesus Crucified, not with Mary and John but with Martin Luther and Melanchton. The Vatican church had truly become Lutheran-Protestant.  

4. If I were to build up the Church.
     If I were to build up a Community that would make up the Catholic Church, I would begin with an entire family. Continue with the relatives of that family and continue to branch out within that family. The Gospel shows that the Church can be built easier in  the context of family life, between relatives, brothers, sisters, etc. After all, if salvation is to be desired it must the salvation of one's entire family. You do not start with strangers. You start within the family.
     On the other hand, if I were the devil and would want to prevent saving an entire family I would start by distributing copies of 'Amoris Laetitia,' the destruction of the family with the practice of adultery and sacrilegious holy communion among the parents. That sacrilege would slowly sip down to the children, grand children, etc  .....compliments of Pope Francis. 

5. Where is the Church?
     The Catholic world is very conscious of the fact that the Catholic Church is nowhere to be found today. The wise suggestion had been give to just start building the Church where you are; within the family; then within the parish, then within the Diocese and finally in the whole world. There is no wiser suggestion. Christ, Himself, gave that suggestion. Where there no church, go, baptise brother and brother there, teach them My commands and how to do then. And PRESTO, you will have the Catholic Church there.
     Nobody had ever given this suggestion, yet that is the only way to solve the present crisis in the Church. The crisis is that we 
cannot find the Church in the world today.  Solution. Built it where you are. There is a popular suggestion going around. It is called the Benedict option. It is in the right direction but it is not the solution. The solution which Christ Himself gave was executed by St. Basil in organising his Basiliades. And it must follow the Gospel in this feast of St. Andrew on how Christ started the Catholic Church. He begun with His own parents Joseph and Mary; He continued with two brothers Peter and Andrew, James and John. He further continued with the Israelites with instruction not to go to the Gentiles. See what Christ is saying: Charity begins at home.    

Feast of ST. ANDREW - HOW TO BEGIN ESTABLISHING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

 1. What Christ taught and did.
     If we want to be truly Catholic we must do what Christ said and do what He did. 
     We are today faced with a serious problem. We cannot find the Catholic Church.

NOT ONE STONE ON TOP OF ANOTHER.- Tuesday in 34th week in ordinary time

 1. The kingdom of God - the Catholic Church.
     The Sunday and weekdays before the feast of Christ the King speaks about the kingdom of God, which is the Catholic Church here on earth. The Gospels had been describing all facets of the Catholic Church; who are inside and outside. What are her characteristics and what will be her great defects.
     All the parables speaks about the defect of those who are supposed to run the Church, the Pope, the bishops and the priests. And Christ, Himself, described them as unfaithful servants. Whenever the parables speak about the defects of the Church, they do not speak about the Church because the true Church has no defects. The Gospels will always refer to the defects of the men of the Church.

2. The Catholic Church today.
     We have often repeated that both the Old and New Testament are prophetic books describing the history of the Church and how, eschatologically, it will be today. And the Gospels, as we approach the end of the Liturgical Year with the Feast of Christ the King is doing just that

3. The gems and gold in the Church.
     Christ had been describing the fate of the Church today just before His passion. And He is describing the physical beauty of the Jewish temple that will soon be destroyed completely that not one stone would be on another stone. That is how complete the destruction of the temple will be.  
     Christ had been saying this. In fact, He dared the Pharisees. 
'destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.' Well, He did not raise it up, even up to now. But as Christ, Himself, explained He was not referring to the physical temple in Jerusalem.
     So in the Gospel, Christ noted how the people were admiring the jewels that decorated the temple and, again, Christ repeated what was going to happen. That the temple will be destroyed that not one stone will be on top of another. Well, there are still some stones on top of one another in the remains of the temple. But, then, Christ was not referring to the physical temple. He was referring to the Catholic Church. 

4.  The gems of the Church.
     The Catholic Church has many external splendid gems; its buildings, its sacred vessels, the vestments, the hierarchy, the religious orders, its liturgy, its arts, etc.. In the Gospel, Christ alluding to the temple and its glory said that this temple will be completely destroyed. 

5. The prophecy
     Christ prophesied that the temple in Jerusalem with all its beauty will be completely destroyed so that not one stone will stand over the other. This did not happen immediately as Christ spoke. It happened many years later around 70-73 AD with Titus. So the prophecy of Christ was fulfilled many years after His own death. And it will still be eschatologically be fulfilled today. The sensible Church that shows its beauty will be completely destroyed. The hierarchy has completely lost is moral beauty. The Liturgy of the Mass has turned into a beaudaville show. Its artistic architecture is no different from a shoe box. Its heavenly chant is but the clanging of metals. 
     ST. Thomas of Aquinas wrote; the prophecy have to be taken mystically. The externals of the Church as mentioned above, like the hierarchy, will turn very ugly. But the spirit of the Church will remain beautiful and vibrant. It cannot be seen but by the Faithful. 
     But even the spiritual Church will be contaminated by heresies. While the spiritual Church is tinted with heresies, the external Church of which Pope Francis is the head will be completely toppled down in that not one stone be left upon another stone. All will be thrown down. 
     If the external Church is completely thrown down and the spiritual Church is in some degree contaminated, what do we expect to see in the Church? Almost nothing. Maybe a little which some had erroneously referred to as the Benedict option (and we shall explain this later.)

6. When shall these signs be?
     What sign will there be when these thing shall come to pass? Christ answered; 'when many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ.' Don't follow them.
     Who are those who claim that they are Christ? Anyone who says something contrary to the teachings of Christ and say that this is the teaching of Christ. They do not really say that they are  Christ. They simply teach their own personal doctrines and even heresies and claim that these are teachings of Christ when it is not. 

7. This Gospel is being fulfilled in our presence.
     First, the Church has lost its gems; its architectures, its arts, its plain chant, its Liturgy, the sound theology of the Hierarchy.  Secondly, from Pope Francis down to most of its bishops we are hearing preachings that are heretical but are claimed to be teachings of God. We are living at the time Christ had prophesied on his way to Jerusalem for His crucufixion.

FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING.

 1. The coming of the Just King.
     Many have experienced injustice in the world. Those victims of stealings, of terrorism, of scams, of lies, of false flags, of wars....etc. When will they get justice? Today, on the Feast of Christ the King. All the guilty will be punished according to what they deserve. The righteous will be vindicated. With a Divine Judge holding court, each sentence will be perfect. 

2. All men will be judged.
    All men will be judged based on God's commandments as taught in Scriptures which all men around the world can learn; either from books, preachers or the internet. No one can give the excuse that the commandments were impossible to know. 
    That day is called 'the day of the Lord.'  It will be an awesome sight because Jesus Christ will come accompanied by the angels. This will fill both the good and the bad with awesome fear. 
     All men will be divided into four parts. First; the first two  will not be judged. The second two will be judged. The latter is what is described in the Gospel which Christ will separate, one, to His right and, the other to His left. The ones in the right, the sheep, will be rewarded by going to heaven. The ones in the left , the goat, will be punished with everlasting fire.

3. Those who are already judged.
     There will be four groups. The first two are already judged so they will no longer be judged at the General last judgment. The first is already judged to go to heaven even before they die. The second is already judged to go to hell even before they die. So they will skip the Last Judgment. Christ, Himself said regarding the first, 'there is no condemnation.' To the second Christ said, 'there are already condemned.'

4. The first who are already judged to go to heaven.
     The apostles asked Christ what will they receive for having followed Him. And Christ said, 'mansions are already reserved for you in heaven.' And they were still alive when Christ promised this to them, meaning, that they were no longer in danger of going to hell because they had been judged worthy to go to heaven; except for Judas. The rest of the apostles were already judged to go to heaven so they will no longer be judged again at the Last General Judgment. In fact, they will be with Christ judging the rest of the world. 

5. Who are these?
     Who are these people who are already judged to go to heaven even before they die? These are souls who are united to Christ, like the apostles excepting Judas. Most of the saints are like these. And Christ would want us to be like this. In fact, this is why Christ invited the young rich man of the Gospel to be; but which he could not. For such kind of people Christ promised that they will rise up with Christ at His coming and join Him to judge the whole world. They will not be judged because they will be the judges. 

6. What have they done to deserve this singular gift?
     They all obeyed the command of Christ to 'go home, sell all your things, give it to the poor and come follow Me.' To be more complete, 'to go home, sell all your possessions, give it to the poor, take up your cross and come follow Me.' In short, to obey the complete teachings of the Gospel of Christ. 
     This is what Christ commanded the apostles to teach; 'teach them all My commands and how to obey them.' That is the Apostolic Commission. And all who know and obey all the commands of Christ will be judged to deserve heaven and will no longer be judged again at the General Judgment at the end of the world. 

7. Those who are already condemned.
     Just as there are souls that are already saved because even while still alive here on earth they have been judged already by God as deserving to go to heaven, there are people, also, still alive here on earth who have been judged by God as deserving to be punished in hell while still alive here on earth. The words Christ used to describe them is, 'they are already condemned.'
     How come they are already condemned? Because they have not gone home, sold all their possessions and given it to the poor; they have not taken up their cross, and they have not followed Christ. 

8. Further explanation why the first group is already saved while the second is already condemned.
     To be able to go home, sell all your things and give it to the  poor, one would need supernatural graces from God. Without this grace that comes with the theological virtue of Faith, Hope and Charity,  it will be impossible for anyone to do it. Remember one has to give up all material possessions and worldly thoughts and desires. This is the complete meaning of the command of Christ.
     When a person has received God's grace that will enable him to go to home, sell his possession and give it to the poor, the same grace is increased to enable him to take up the cross and follow Him. This is all the work of grace with the cooperation of man's will. 
       The second group have never prayed for grace or have not done anything to deserve the grace. So they will not be able to go home, sell all their possessions and give it to the poor. All the more they cannot take up their cross and follow Christ because they will find it too distasteful. 
      Instead of doing the steps just mentioned above, they will tend to do the exact opposite; which will be the reason for their condemnation.

9. The third and fourth groups.
    These two are the ones who will line up before Christ during the General Judgement. It is among them that Christ will direct some to His right and the others to His left.
     The Catholic religions is teaching that we must aim at being in the first group that will not be judged. The Popes, bishops, and priest must be in the first group and must aim that all their followers in the parish and diocesan level aim at being in the first group. Religious orders must aim at being in the first group. The rest can only hope they can accidentally fall into the first group. Of course we must all avoid being with the second group that had been condemned. 
     The third group are those who cannot go home, sell their possessions and give it to the poor.  They are deeply involved with worldly matters and with their worldly possession. But they strive to share their worldly possession with 'the least of the brethren of Christ. It is their sharing with the 'least of the brethren of Christ' that will put them at the right side of Christ and eventually salvation.
     The fourth group are those who cannot go home, etc...They are also involved with worldly possession and share them with the less fortunate. But they have not shared anything, food, clothing or shelter to the 'least of the brethren of Christ.' It is their inability to share with the 'least of the brethren of Christ that will put them at the left side of Christ and eventual condemnation. 

10. The 'least of the brethren of Christ.'
       These words are the biggest stumbling block of Pope Francis which makes his FrancisGospel totally wrong and, therefore, totally unCatholic. It is the description of 'the least of the brethren of Christ.' The work of mercy mentioned in the Gospel which is the basis for judgment, namely, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, etc.. were not to be directed to anybody in need like strangers, paupers, lepers, sinners, etc. The recipient of the good works must be the 'least of the brethren of Christ. Who are these?
     One day, Christ was informed that His mother and brethren were outside waiting for Him. On that occasion Christ defined who is His mother and His brethren. He said; ' My mother and My brethren are those who obey My commandments.' Those in the right of Christ will go to heaven because they fed, clothe and gave shelter to people who obey the commandments of Christ. Not to those who are ignorant or disobedient to the commands of Christ. Again, 'the least of the brethren of Christ' are those who obey the commands of Christ. 
     What will make them deserving to be on the right side of Christ is not so much as that they fed, or gave drink to someone. That someone is not anybody.  That someone is someone who obeys the commandments of Christ!

11. Giving food and drink to others.
     We are obliged to give food and drink to all who are in need, even to our own enemies and enemies of the Catholic Faith. We can do good works to sinners, pagans, murderers, adulterers, fornicators, etc. Though these are good works, the recipients of these good works are not the ones that will make us worthy to be on the right side of Christ. 
     To find a true 'the least of the brethren of Christ' is near impossible; but it is possible. Anyone who who knows all the commands of Christ will easily detect 'the least of the brethren of Christ,' and thus equally and easily perform the necessary work of mercy to them. 
     But if we do not know the commands of Christ? The safe thing to do is to do good works to all in need in the hope that one of them is 'the least of the kingdom of God.' In such a case, St Paul wrote, that God, seeing your holy desire, will either sent you a person who is obedient to the commandments of Christ or, in its absence, an angel, for you to fulfil this wonderful act that will put you in the right side of Christ. 

12, Pope Francis and 'the least of the brethren of Christ.'
     Pope Francis had almost always misinterpreted every word of Scriptures and he has misinterpreted the most these words 'the least of the brethren of Christ.' Here he includes criminals, homos, lesbians, Jews, pagans, immigrants. His list contains people who are ignorant of the commands of Christ, people who are committing  sins against the commandment of Christ or even killers of people obedient to the commands of Christ. These are people that do not fall under 'the least of the brethren of Christ.' Pope  Francis is telling us to feed, give drink and shelter people and immigrants who kill the 'least of the brethren of Christ.' That should bring Pope Francis and those who follow him to the left of Christ. Guess where they are going. 
          

FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING.

 1. The coming of the Just King.
     Many have experienced injustice in the world. Those victims of stealings, of terrorism, of scams, of lies, of false flags, of wars....etc. When will they get justice? Today, on the Feast of Christ the King. All the guilty will be punished according to what they deserve. The righteous will be vindicated. With a Divine Judge holding court, each sentence will be perfect. 

2. All men will be judged.
    All men will be judged based on God's commandments as taught in Scriptures which all men around the world can learn; either from books, preachers or the internet. No one can give the excuse that the commandments were impossible to know. 
    That day is called 'the day of the Lord.'  It will be an awesome sight because Jesus Christ will come accompanied by the angels. This will fill both the good and the bad with awesome fear. 
     All men will be divided into four parts. First; the first two  will not be judged. The second two will be judged. The latter is what is described in the Gospel which Christ will separate, one, to His right and, the other to His left. The ones in the right, the sheep, will be rewarded by going to heaven. The ones in the left , the goat, will be punished with everlasting fire.

3. Those who are already judged.
     There will be four groups. The first two are already judged so they will no longer be judged at the General last judgment. The first is already judged to go to heaven even before they die. The second is already judged to go to hell even before they die. So they will skip the Last Judgment. Christ, Himself said regarding the first, 'there is no condemnation.' To the second Christ said, 'there are already condemned.'

4. The first who are already judged to go to heaven.
     The apostles asked Christ what will they receive for having followed Him. And Christ said, 'mansions are already reserved for you in heaven.' And they were still alive when Christ promised this to them, meaning, that they were no longer in danger of going to hell because they had been judged worthy to go to heaven; except for Judas. The rest of the apostles were already judged to go to heaven so they will no longer be judged again at the Last General Judgment. In fact, they will be with Christ judging the rest of the world. 

5. Who are these?
     Who are these people who are already judged to go to heaven even before they die? These are souls who are united to Christ, like the apostles excepting Judas. Most of the saints are like these. And Christ would want us to be like this. In fact, this is why Christ invited the young rich man of the Gospel to be; but which he could not. For such kind of people Christ promised that they will rise up with Christ at His coming and join Him to judge the whole world. They will not be judged because they will be the judges. 

6. What have they done to deserve this singular gift?
     They all obeyed the command of Christ to 'go home, sell all your things, give it to the poor and come follow Me.' To be more complete, 'to go home, sell all your possessions, give it to the poor, take up your cross and come follow Me.' In short, to obey the complete teachings of the Gospel of Christ. 
     This is what Christ commanded the apostles to teach; 'teach them all My commands and how to obey them.' That is the Apostolic Commission. And all who know and obey all the commands of Christ will be judged to deserve heaven and will no longer be judged again at the General Judgment at the end of the world. 

7. Those who are already condemned.
     Just as there are souls that are already saved because even while still alive here on earth they have been judged already by God as deserving to go to heaven, there are people, also, still alive here on earth who have been judged by God as deserving to be punished in hell while still alive here on earth. The words Christ used to describe them is, 'they are already condemned.'
     How come they are already condemned? Because they have not gone home, sold all their possessions and given it to the poor; they have not taken up their cross, and they have not followed Christ. 

8. Further explanation why the first group is already saved while the second is already condemned.
     To be able to go home, sell all your things and give it to the  poor, one would need supernatural graces from God. Without this grace that comes with the theological virtue of Faith, Hope and Charity,  it will be impossible for anyone to do it. Remember one has to give up all material possessions and worldly thoughts and desires. This is the complete meaning of the command of Christ.
     When a person has received God's grace that will enable him to go to home, sell his possession and give it to the poor, the same grace is increased to enable him to take up the cross and follow Him. This is all the work of grace with the cooperation of man's will. 
       The second group have never prayed for grace or have not done anything to deserve the grace. So they will not be able to go home, sell all their possessions and give it to the poor. All the more they cannot take up their cross and follow Christ because they will find it too distasteful. 
      Instead of doing the steps just mentioned above, they will tend to do the exact opposite; which will be the reason for their condemnation.

9. The third and fourth groups.
    These two are the ones who will line up before Christ during the General Judgement. It is among them that Christ will direct some to His right and the others to His left.
     The Catholic religions is teaching that we must aim at being in the first group that will not be judged. The Popes, bishops, and priest must be in the first group and must aim that all their followers in the parish and diocesan level aim at being in the first group. Religious orders must aim at being in the first group. The rest can only hope they can accidentally fall into the first group. Of course we must all avoid being with the second group that had been condemned. 
     The third group are those who cannot go home, sell their possessions and give it to the poor.  They are deeply involved with worldly matters and with their worldly possession. But they strive to share their worldly possession with 'the least of the brethren of Christ. It is their sharing with the 'least of the brethren of Christ' that will put them at the right side of Christ and eventually salvation.
     The fourth group are those who cannot go home, etc...They are also involved with worldly possession and share them with the less fortunate. But they have not shared anything, food, clothing or shelter to the 'least of the brethren of Christ.' It is their inability to share with the 'least of the brethren of Christ that will put them at the left side of Christ and eventual condemnation. 

10. The 'least of the brethren of Christ.'
       These words are the biggest stumbling block of Pope Francis which makes his FrancisGospel totally wrong and, therefore, totally unCatholic. It is the description of 'the least of the brethren of Christ.' The work of mercy mentioned in the Gospel which is the basis for judgment, namely, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, etc.. were not to be directed to anybody in need like strangers, paupers, lepers, sinners, etc. The recipient of the good works must be the 'least of the brethren of Christ. Who are these?
     One day, Christ was informed that His mother and brethren were outside waiting for Him. On that occasion Christ defined who is His mother and His brethren. He said; ' My mother and My brethren are those who obey My commandments.' Those in the right of Christ will go to heaven because they fed, clothe and gave shelter to people who obey the commandments of Christ. Not to those who are ignorant or disobedient to the commands of Christ. Again, 'the least of the brethren of Christ' are those who obey the commands of Christ. 
     What will make them deserving to be on the right side of Christ is not so much as that they fed, or gave drink to someone. That someone is not anybody.  That someone is someone who obeys the commandments of Christ!

11. Giving food and drink to others.
     We are obliged to give food and drink to all who are in need, even to our own enemies and enemies of the Catholic Faith. We can do good works to sinners, pagans, murderers, adulterers, fornicators, etc. Though these are good works, the recipients of these good works are not the ones that will make us worthy to be on the right side of Christ. 
     To find a true 'the least of the brethren of Christ' is near impossible; but it is possible. Anyone who who knows all the commands of Christ will easily detect 'the least of the brethren of Christ,' and thus equally and easily perform the necessary work of mercy to them. 
     But if we do not know the commands of Christ? The safe thing to do is to do good works to all in need in the hope that one of them is 'the least of the kingdom of God.' In such a case, St Paul wrote, that God, seeing your holy desire, will either sent you a person who is obedient to the commandments of Christ or, in its absence, an angel, for you to fulfil this wonderful act that will put you in the right side of Christ. 

12, Pope Francis and 'the least of the brethren of Christ.'
     Pope Francis had almost always misinterpreted every word of Scriptures and he has misinterpreted the most these words 'the least of the brethren of Christ.' Here he includes criminals, homos, lesbians, Jews, pagans, immigrants. His list contains people who are ignorant of the commands of Christ, people who are committing  sins against the commandment of Christ or even killers of people obedient to the commands of Christ. These are people that do not fall under 'the least of the brethren of Christ.' Pope  Francis is telling us to feed, give drink and shelter people and immigrants who kill the 'least of the brethren of Christ.' That should bring Pope Francis and those who follow him to the left of Christ. Guess where they are going.

The face of the Catholic Church - Thursday, 33rd Week in Ordinary Time.

 1. The Catholic Church as the kingdom of God.  
     We have often mentioned that the Scriptures is a prophetic book informing us of the past, the present and the future. This makes the Catholic Church the only Church established by God because only God knows the past, the present and the future. God make it so, so that the Church can, always, be prepared for any eventuality. 
     The future is known in eschatology which together with the past and the present is taught by Holy Mother the Church in her Liturgy. One of the important eschatological lessons in the Liturgy is about the Kingdom of God, which is the Catholic Church.

2. The kingdom of God after Easter and Pentecost.
     After the Liturgical season of Easter and Pentecost, the Liturgy had be dealing with the 'kingdom of God.' The 'kingdom of God' is the Catholic church. Why the many Gospels about the kingdom of God? Because the very salvation of man depends on whether he is inside the Catholic Church or not. So almost the repetitious discussion on all the aspects on the kingdom of God. The most important aspect of the kingdom is first; how does it look like. Second how does the world around it look like. Thirdly, how do the ones inside look like. Fourthly, how do the ones outside look like. This vast information is more than enough for any Catholic to know if he is inside or outside; and, therefore, whether he will be saved or not. 

3. How will the Catholic Church look like today.
    Prophetically, the Catholic Church will look this way today. The Gospel of the Thursday of the 33rd week in Ordinary time states; 'Christ beheld the city, and wept over it.' The city is Jerusalem or Sion, which is mystically the Catholic Church. Christ looked at the Catholic Church today and wept over it. I, too, weep over the state of the whole Church today under the Papacy of Pope Francis and I do not see much. How much more Christ who see more? 
     That Christ wept shows the great misery the Catholic Church would be in during these days. It will be evil times because the world today does not know what will bring it peace. In the world's great love for money it has cause countless wars in the national scale and even within the family. 
     With know it, the world's pursuant of its worldly goals is leading towards a great catastrophe hidden from its eyes. 'it is hidden from thine eyes.'

4. 'Thy enemies shall cast as trench about thee and compass thee round and keep thee in on every side.
     As it i already happening, the enemies of the Catholic Church  has surrounded her, compass her around and attacking her on every side. 
     The entire secular world headed by its heads, is against the Church; starting with the US, followed by Europe. This is followed by the entire pagan world; Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Then followed by all non-Catholic religions; the Protestants. And finally by its own members; the nominal Catholics headed by Pope Francis. 

5. A Church besieged. 
     Christ weeps as He views Jerusalem because the city did not know the time of His visitation, i.e. it's judgment. It is a pitiable sight to see a person die unprepared. Jerusalem will soon be under siege and totally destroyed by the Romans as a chastisement  for having crucified their Messiah. The Jews thought they could do something like that and get away with it. Christ wept because God hastens in His judgment and chastisements. 
    While Jerusalem would be totally destroyed after a siege, the Catholic Church would undergo something similar; because both were guilty of unbelief. "When the Son of Man comes, do you think He will find Faith on the earth?" Like on Good Friday, He will not find Faith on the earth, Maybe a very small group but not enough for God to delay His punishment.
   
     Jerusalem under went a physical brutal siege. Prophetically, the Catholic Church will undergo a brutal spiritual siege. The Gospel states; 'the enemies shall cast a trench about thee and compass thee round and keep thee in on eve3ry side. In a siege the enemies will surround the city not allowing any food and drink to enter or go out to starve the city unto submission. 
     Today, the Catholic Church will be surrounded spiritually so that no knowledge of Divine Truth on the salvation of soul can enter inside the Church. The Church will starve due to the absence of Divine food and drink. No one will feed the Church, neither priests, neither bishops nor Pope Francis. The little who will try to teach will be suppress. The spiritual siege will totally starve the Church. 
     As of now, Pope Francis had not even mentioned the name of Jesus Christ and any of his high profile speeches, like the UN. He has not reminded the Church the commandments of Christ and in fact is telling the Church to disobey the New Testament commands. He has not explained of taught any dogmas of the Church because he himself said in one of his first speeches that dogmas are not needed. His messages are purely in the natural sphere, like global warming and immigration, and he is not very good in those topics because these topics are not learned in the seminary. He does not even remember what he learned in the seminary, how can he know something not taught in the seminary. 
     In the Catholic Church there is complete starvation in matters of dogma, morals and spirituality. Nobody knows the way to heaven. The Church had become a pitiable sight; reason for Christ to weep.

6. And Christ continues; 'and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee.'
    Due to the great starvation, men, women and children will be lying on the ground. Due to their total lack of spiritual knowledge everyone will be worldly. St. Augustine described them as similar to pigs whose eyes are always looking down on the ground. Their eyes are not up to heaven but only on earthly things enjoyed in the ground. That describes the whole world; thinking only of worldly concerns, on things on the ground. 

7. The Church believe in walls.
     The church is like a vineyard. This similitude is often mentioned in the parables. And this vineyard, as the Psalm describes it, must have a fence to keep pigs and other animals from destroying the vineyard. And God usually punishes the unfaithful workers of the vineyard by removing the fences to allow the animals to devastate the vineyard. 
     The early Fathers described the Church as a stone building. These days, Christ warned, no one stone will be upon another stone. See the devastation that will occur and is already occurring in the Church today. To state that 'not one stone will be upon another stone' is almost saying that the Church will almost disappear from the face of the earth. 

8. Where is the Church.
    In the book of the Maccabees, Judas looked for salvation in the desert. The Chosen people were brought by God to the desert. The first Christians went to the desert. The desert had become the impregnable wall that protected the Church. 
     We must look for the Church and enter her. Our salvation depends on her. Scriptures tells us where to look for her and how she looks like. No excuse.
