Do Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddists and Hindus worship the same God?
This is a much-debated question - even in Catholic circles. The liberals will say yeh, the fundamentalists will say nay, but the correct answer is nuanced.
We need to look at philosophy and #theology. St. Thomas #Aquinas gives us pointers to the answer.
Here is some reading which illustrates the lack of consensus and, regrettably, sometimes the lack of precision that prevails.

Catholic president of Ecuador, murdered by Masonic assassins
"I wish to obtain your blessing before that day, so that I may have the strength and light which I need so much in order to be unto the end a faithful son of our Redeemer, and a loyal and obedient servant of His Infallible Vicar. Now that the Masonic Lodges of the neighbouring countries, instigated by Germany, are vomiting against me all sorts of atrocious insults and horrible calumnies, now that the Lodges are secretly arranging for my assassination, I have more need than ever of the divine protection so that I may live and die in defence of our holy religion and the beloved republic which I am called once more to rule."

“A city which must engage in much trade in order to supply its needs also has to put up with the continuous presence of foreigners. But intercourse with foreigners, according to Aristotle’s Politics, is particularly harmful to civic customs. For it is inevitable that strangers, brought up under other laws and customs, will in many cases act as the citizens are not wont to act and thus, since the citizens are drawn by their example to act likewise, their own civic life is upset.”

“She was an endeavoured woman, very powerful, very prudent, wise, very honest, chaste, devout, discreet, truthful, clear, without deceit. Who could count the excellences of this very Catholic and happy Queen, always very worthy of praises." - Andrés Bernáldez on Queen Isabel of Castile

Pray to #Saint #Philomena
“Whatever you ask from her, She will obtain for you.” -Pope Gregory XVI
Credited with countless miracles and intercessions since discovery of her tomb in the most ancient catacombs of St. Priscilla in Rome in 1802,
St. Philomena is prayed to by people of diverse ages, culture and social standing around the world. The young virgin who was martyred at age 13, willingly traded her earthly life for heavenly salvation and continues her work today promoting the virtues of purity and sanctity among the world’s youth and bringing the faithful closer to our Blessed Mother and Jesus Christ. It would seem she was held in quiet reserve by God for nearly seventeen centuries and summoned at a time when so much uncertainty and absence of faith abound.

Prayer to #Saint #Philomena for a Favor (KNOWN TO BE A VERY POWERFUL PRAYER)
O faithful virgin and glorious martyr, Saint Philomena, who works so many miracles on behalf of the poor and sorrowful, have pity on me. Thou knowest the multitude and diversity of my needs. Behold me at thy feet, full of misery, but full of hope. I entreat thy charity O great Saint. Graciously hear me and obtain from God a favourable answer to the request which I now humbly lay before you (here specify your petition). I am firmly conviced that through the merits, through the scorn, the sufferings and the death thou didst endure, united to the merits of the Passion and Death of Jesus thy Spouse, I shall obtain what I ask of thee and the joy of my heart I will bless God, who is admirable in His saints. Amen.

hail, o holy saint philomena, my dear patroness.
as my advocate with thy divine spouse,
intercede for me now and at the hour of my death.
saint philomena, beloved daughter of jesus and mary,
pray for us who have recourse to thee.
