Question: How many times must one receive Holy Communion to obtain this promise?

God’s answer:

Appetite
Until you are full.

Meaning: We do so until there is nothing of our self left.. We are full of “Christ”.

Question: The Catholic church also state one must fast before taking Holy Communion.

Canon 919 of the "Code of Canon Law" states, "One who is to receive the Most Holy Eucharist is to abstain from any food or drink, with the exception of water and medicine, for at least the period of one hour before Holy Communion." Actually this regulation merely reflects an ancient tradition in our Church, which is even rooted in Judaism.

Do you agree with this?

God’s answer:

The Last Supper was a full meal
Enough with the sacrifice.

Meaning: If you read the story of the Last Supper, they were having a full dinner.

Question: Enough with the sacrifice refers to the emphasis of the Church, especially the Catholic church, about the need to sacrifice.

God’s answer:

Mortification
Go and learn the meaning of the words: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’
(Matthew 9:13)

1448

Mortification means the subjection and denial of bodily passions and appetites by abstinence or self-inflicted pain or discomfort55

Question: God, based on what you have told me this Catholic teaching on redemptive suffering is wrong.

Redemptive suffering is the belief that human suffering, when accepted and offered up in union with the Passion of Jesus, can remit the just punishment for one's sins or for the sins of another. Like an indulgence, redemptive suffering does not gain the individual forgiveness for their sin; forgiveness results from God’s grace, freely given through Christ, which cannot be earned. After one's sins are forgiven, the individual's suffering can reduce the penalty due for sin)

Can you please refute this in your own words?

God’s answer:

No one else was crucified with Me.
I Am the only sacrificial lamb.

Meaning: If this was the case, then God would have set some precedent by having one of the apostles suffer alongside him – to serve as an example.

Then God pointed out that the story of Simon of Cyrene helping him to carry the cross can be used to justify this teaching.

Question: So you are saying that is wrong to use this story of Simon of Cyrene helping you carry the cross to lend credit to this teaching?. So then what is the meaning of this event?

God’s answer:

Don’t make things more difficult for me.
