Queen Esther before the King
"Queen Esther took refuge with the Lord in the mortal peril which had overtaken her. She besought the Lord God of Israel in these words: ‘My Lord, our King, the only one, come to my help, for I am alone and have no helper but you and am about to take my life in my hands. ‘I have been taught from my earliest years, in the bosom of my family, that you, Lord, chose Israel out of all the nations and our ancestors out of all the people of old times to be your heritage for ever; and that you have treated them as you promised. ‘Remember, Lord; reveal yourself in the time of our distress. ‘As for me, give me courage, King of gods and master of all power. Put persuasive words into my mouth when I face the lion; change his feeling into hatred for our enemy, that the latter and all like him may be brought to their end. ‘As for ourselves, save us by your hand, and come to my help, for I am alone and have no one but you, Lord.’" – Esther 4:17, which is today's reading at Mass (1st Thu in Lent). My sermon for today can be read here. Stained glass window of Queen Esther before King Ahasuerus, from the apse of the Rosary Shrine church in London.

Catholics are the fulfillment of the Israelites. We are made up of the faithful, Christ believing Jews: Peter, John, Martha, Mary, Nathaniel, James and thousands more, together with the faithful, believers in Christ of all other nations, such as St. Augustine.
The unbelieving Jews, such as the Hasidic of today, are the Synagogue of Satan.
