To: Salvation
"How to go to heaven," indeed! More from Pope St. Pius the X on the topic:

In his first Encyclical, he said that the motto of his pontificate would be “Instaurare Omnia in Christo” (Restore all things to Christ.) He also said “Holy Communion is the shortest and safest way to Heaven.” [emphasis; mine]

To this end, he encouraged frequent reception of Holy Communion. He also emphasized frequent recourse to the Sacrament of Penance so that Holy Communion would be received worthily. Pope X’s devotion to the Eucharist eventually earned him the honorific of “Pope of the Blessed Sacrament.”


Today, as you know, Salvation, is the Feast of St. Mary Magdalene, and our pastor selected the following reading (of the two available), the one from Song of Songs, 3:1-4 (so lovely):

On my bed at night I sought him
whom my soul loves—
I sought him but I did not find him.

“Let me rise then and go about the city,
through the streets and squares;
Let me seek him whom my soul loves.”
I sought him but I did not find him.

The watchmen found me,
as they made their rounds in the city:
“Him whom my soul loves—have you seen him?”

Hardly had I left them
when I found him whom my soul loves.

.....“Holy Communion is the shortest and safest way to Heaven.”......Pope St. Pius the X

He would therefore be presenting ..”another Gospel”.. then the Biblical Instruction from Jesus who defined the way of Salvation precisely when he said....

...”Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is “Born Again” he cannot see the kingdom of God.....”Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water ( physical birth) and the Spirit (Spiritual Birth)....Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit....For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, “through the living and enduring word of God”....

When one is “born again”, God, by the Holy Spirit, replaces their heart of stone with a heart of flesh that is, He removes the old human spirit they were born with, which is at enmity with God, and replaces it with a new human spirit which is from God and in harmony with God. The “born again” person loves the word of God and eagerly receives and believes it and therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” ..... believers will not experience the second death because they are born again of imperishable seed (a new human spirit), whereas the unbelievers are still of their original, perishable seed (old human spirit) and will die a second death......

The True Gospel Message as Jesus presented is clear...you must be “Born Again”...which has nothing to do with man offering communion before an un-resurrected Christ figure.

John 3:5,6..1 Peter 1:23...Ezekiel 11:19 and 36:26 ....John 3:1-8...Romans 8:1...1 John 4:6
