Tim Francis prepared this educational program to help you increase your faith and love for the Holy Trinity and our Blessed Mother. His website is http://YouShallBelieve.com

I have known Tim for many years and recommend his work highly. He is a strong advocate for the “The Real Body and Blood Of Jesus” and the numerous miracles that occur on a daily basis. Both of us are greatly inspired by the amazing writings of Catalina Rivas.

Catalina is one of the few individuals in history who personally experienced the “Stigmata Of Jesus Christ.” The video below was broadcast on FOX TV.

Through Catalina’s writings, Jesus and our Blessed Mother provide an insightful commentary about the Holy Scriptures, the Magisterium and oral tradition.

Gospel John 6: 60-69

Many of Jesus’ disciples who were listening said, “This saying is hard; who can accept it?” Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, “Does this shock you? What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him. And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.”

As a result of this, many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him. Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?” Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”

The Catechism of the Catholic Church

438 Jesus’ messianic consecration reveals his divine mission, “for the name Christ’ implies he who anointed,’ he who was anointed’ and the very anointing with which he was anointed.’ The one who anointed is the Father, the one who was anointed is the Son, and he was anointed with the Spirit who is the anointing.” His eternal messianic consecration was revealed during the time of his earthly life at the moment of his baptism by John, when “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power,” “that he might be revealed to Israel” as its Messiah. His works and words will manifest him as “the Holy One of God.”

1336 The first announcement of the Eucharist divided the disciples, just as the announcement of the Passion scandalized them: “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” The Eucharist and the Cross are stumbling blocks. It is the same mystery and it never ceases to be an occasion of division. “Will you also go away?”: the Lord’s question echoes through the ages, as a loving invitation to discover that only he has “the words of eternal life” and that to receive in faith the gift of his Eucharist is to receive the Lord himself.

From “The Ark of the New Covenant” Testimony of Catalina Rivas (ARK-74:7, 111:9)

7) During this brief existence you have to consecrate yourself to innumerable objectives: you have many sins to expiate; you have a soul to sanctify and to save; you have a Hell to run away from, a Purgatory to avoid, a Heaven to conquer; you have a neighbor to edify and to help for eternal life. Finally you have Me, for whose possession you were created and to whom you must give honor and glory in as many ways as possible.

9) Through the Eucharist I am your sacrifice; I am your Bread of eternal life; I am your companion in this valley of tears. You have Me and with Me you have everything.

From “The Great Crusade of Mercy” Testimony of Catalina Rivas (Intro. Pg. 4)

Pg. 4) He speaks to us about Heaven, Purgatory and the passage to the other life. His words are truly the Words of Eternal Life which call us to exclaim with the psalmist: “Lord! How great is Your Name throughout the earth!” 

From “Door to Heaven” Testimony of Catalina Rivas (DH-55:7)

7) Write My Words in your heart and contemplate them diligently. Humans are deceived by their hopes but My Words are Words of truth and of eternal life. They will never disappoint you; have faith in Me.

Each week we will be presenting a portion of the following Sunday’s readings, and linking it to a relevant portion of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and also to a message from the Testimony of Catalina.  Pay special attention to the italicized underlined sections.  We hope this is inspiring and educational. Any comments you have are certainly welcomed.
