1. The Apostolic Commission.
In today’s Gospel, Christ instructed His apostles how to save souls through an Act of mature Faith. Christ’s instruction was in three parts and St. Thomas of Aquinas noted that these three parts must be explained well and be followed in the right order.
First, ‘to go and teach all nations.’
Second, ‘to baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. ‘
Third, ‘to teach them all My commands and how to observe them.’
2. For the apostles to do first what they are supposed to teach.
The apostles had just undergone this very instruction from Christ. Their training was completed before His Ascension. Thus having undergone the above instruction, Christ, now., commands the Apostles to do the same to the rest of mankind. But wait, Christ tells them to do the same to the rest of mankind after Pentecost, i.e. only after they have received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost…… and not before it.
It is known by the whole world that the institutional Church never followed Christ’s Apostolic Commission, even years before the Council of Trent up to the very present moment. And the present on going pandemic is God’s way of chastising the world. You, Pope Francis, cardinals, bishops priest and nuns, ‘Get your acts together man. You have this My command on how to evangelise you have not repented, you are going straight to hell. Repent. Believe. Otherwise, if you die right now, you go straight to hell.’
Today, men begun to die. And we would not want to know where they are going. But we can know it easily especially if we are the one’s dying. It all depends if we have observed the Apostolic Commission of Christ as given above, or not.
3. First, ‘to go and teach all nations.’
Note that Christ told His apostles to ‘go and teach all nations,’ even before baptising them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The baptism would have no effect unless those baptised are taught. Taught what?
They must be taught that there is a natural God, and that they must know and obey all His natural commands. This is belief in the Old Testament spirituality which is natural knowledge and available to all men and in fact written in the hearts of all men. No men can say he does not know this because it is imprinted in his soul by God. The commands of God is the famed 10 commandments given to Moses. All men knows these. But before they can know and obey these 10 commandment, they should believe that there is a natural God whose existence can be proven by philosophy or by common sense, the famed five proofs of God’s existence by the pagan Aristotle and developed by St. Thomas of Aquinas as the first lesson of the Apostolic Commission.
So a soul must first know that there is a god through these five proofs. And believing in the existence of God, a soul must obey His 10 commandments. These are all in the natural level. Then the soul must be baptised so he can receive the graces needed for the next step.
4. Second, ‘baptise them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.’
The soul is baptised so that he will receive the graces of Baptism and receive the power to know ‘all My commands, how to observe them, and receive the power to actually obey them.’
It is impossible to ‘know all the commands of Christ, how to observe them, and actually put them into practice, which make up the mature Act of Faith, without the help of the grace of God. Impossible. So baptism must be valid, it’s graces must not be easily lost, until this last part of the Apostolic Commission is accomplished which gives a soul perfect Faith, the beginnings of Charity, which will make the soul deserving of salvation.
But, almost all souls were baptised without being taught the natural proofs of the existence of God and obedience to His 10 commandments. Because most are baptised as babies. Nobody can talk to them and as babies, they will understand nothing.
So they receive the character of the Sacrament of Baptism but not the graces. Without the graces, they cannot know the third part of the Apostolic Commission which is the New Testament spirituality. They never become Catholics…..from the Council of Trent, up to the present. No one is becoming Catholics. Except for a very few exception through a direct intervention of God.
The first and second steps can be interchanged. A soul may, first , be baptised and then taught the natural proofs of God’s existence and obedience to the 10 commandments of God. This soften happens when the child grow and enter the seminary.
Then the soul can proceed to the third, with the grace from Baptism, to know all the commands of Christ and how to observe them. Then to actually obey all the commands of Christ, thus receiving perfect Faith and the beginnings of Charity that will make them deserving of eternal life. Mission accomplished.
Both of the above steps never happened. Souls were neither taught before baptism the existence of God through the five proofs and to obey His ten commandments. Neither was he taught the same, after Baptism. The child kept the character of Baptism but never received the grace of the sacrament. The soul never receive the power from grace to know the commands of Christ and how to observe them. Unable to observe them, the souls of Pope Francis, souls of bishops and priests, never received the Catholic Faith. They were never evangelised according to the Apostolic Commission given by Christ to the Apostles. Never, before the Council of Trent when it was first noted, never up to the present, that is obvious to all observers of today’s Gospel. Check it up in all the videos in You Tube. Mankind was never evangelised according to the Apostolic Commission of Christ to His Apostles.
How was the world evangelised? According to some dumb heretics. Mankind did not even reach first base. The second, third and home run bases had always been empty. What a boring game. Only the Popes, up to Benedict XVI filled the bases.
Even if the , first, ‘teaching of all nations’ was done properly and Baptism was done properly, it is greatly possible that the baptised could have, immediately, committed actual sin. In which case, he has the baptismal character but does not retain the graces of baptism. Without the grace, the soul cannot proceed to observing the commands of Christ in the New Testament. He cannot, still, enter the Catholic Church by obeying all Christ’s commands and how to observe them. He cannot merit everlasting life.
5. Everybody disobeyed Christ’s Apostolic Commission.
If one of the three elements of Christ’s Apostolic Commission had not been observed well, there is no evangelization; there is no salvation of souls.
If the first and/or the second elements are not observed, the most important third element cannot be observed well. There will be no love in the world. Christ prophesied that thing will, indeed, happen these days, the decaying of Faith and the waxing cold of Charity. The world today is rotten, dark and cold. So what do we do ? God, in His great goodness and kindness, made a floating plank in case the ship sinks. It, also, goes in three steps. First, that we know our sins based on the rule of conscience given to all men. This is the Golden Rule; do not do unto others what you don’t want others to do unto you. Secondly, live the live of the virtue of Penance as described by St. Thomas of Aquinas. He differentiated this from the Sacrament of Penance.
St. Augustine described the life of Penance as a life of prayer, fasting and good works. This way of life leads a soul to know and obey the commands of Christ that leads to perfect Faith and the beginnings of Charity.
This life of the virtue of Penance takes the place of Baptism; it takes away all past sins and makes the soul deserving to receive ample Divine graces from God to perfect its Faith and the enlivening virtue of Charity. The soul is now deserving of eternal life.
6. Mankind is doing neither.
The world is doing neither; neither the Apostolic Commission nor the substitute, the life of repentance, practiced in the monastic movement. Most monks are no longer monastic. They are worldly.
In short, mankind does not the Father, nor the Son, nor the Holy Spirit. Nobody knows the Blessed Trinity, the God of the Catholic Church, because nobody is doing it right.
7. The pandemic Chastisement if God’s way of saving mankind.
The pandemic is not saving mankind. It is merely supplying the perfect atmosphere to the salvation of one’s soul, e.g. the fact that families stay at home together, that all schools where most heresies and error are taught are closed, that there are no jobs where men learn to love money the source of all evil, all entertainments for the flesh are closed, social distancing with sinful neighbours, are cancelled.
8. The devils had been set loose.
As God directed, the devils had been set loose to test all men. And God have given him extra powers to tempt mankind. This time God will allow the devil to posses his subjects, worldly people.
The signs of Lucifer. God will allow Lucifer to get his own way, i.e. to establish his own kingdom, the City of Man. Here lies, murder, treason will rule. It will be man’s rebellion against God, i.e. man will do his own will in rebellion agains the will of God. Man’s will , as it always had been will go against God’s will. This battle of wills will fill the whole earth.
While Lucifer controls all sinful men and attacks all good men, God will watch until mankind had been divided between the left and the right. When all are in place……..Just concentrate in what place you are.
