Welcome Aboard C.A. Flight #2018 W elcome on board the Flight 2018, operated by Catholic Air. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Captain Jesus speaking. Thank you for choosing Catholic Air. We have just taken off to 2018. This is a short flight of 12 months. We shall be cruising at Uncountable Blessings every day and at millions of miles above Sorrow level. The weather is excellent, but you never know; there can be some bumps along the way, but Grace is sufficient. In case of any unexpected turbulence, make sure you return to God and have your prayer belt on. Divine Intervention will not fail. The Prince of Peace will speak: Peace, Be Still over your storms. In case of emergency, follow the light of Christ to get to the nearest confessional where you will experience God s abundant Mercy and Forgiveness. In the event of a loss of cabin pressure, Rosary beads will fall from above you. Make sure you begin reciting it first before assisting others with it. The Angels are our cabin crews, assisted by Mary and Joseph. Remember to follow their instructions. They will supply all your needs According to His Riches in Glory. You shall not lack anything good. Our menu includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. All these come with the food and drink of angels. Amazingly, they are ALL FREE, courtesy of your Captain Jesus. Note that this is a No Weeping or Mourning Flight. YOU AND ALL MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY WILL LAND SAFELY! For more information about your safety on board, please always refer to your Safety Manual, The Bible, on a daily basis. For any questions, The Holy Spirit shall give you answers any time. And, now, you may use your electronics to access Virtues. So, keep your prayer belts fastened, sit back, relax, and enjoy your short flight of 12 months. There shall always be no loss but Gains, Goodness, Prosperity and Blessings in Jesus' name. Amen. Please advertise, publicize and share this exceptional AIRLINE to everyone you know. * * * I received this message on my WhatsApp last week.

Thanks a lot for your prayers and assistance. Father Jose Thomas
