Perseverance in Trial

A reading from the Letter of James 1, 1 – 11:

James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the dispersion, greetings.
Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you encounter various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. And let perseverance be perfect, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. But if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and he will be given it. But he should ask in faith, not doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed about by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord, since he is a man of two minds, unstable in all his ways.
The brother in lowly circumstances should take pride in his high standing, and the rich one in his lowliness, for he will pass away “like the flower of the field.” For the sun comes up with its scorching heat and dries up the grass, its flower droops, and the beauty of its appearance vanishes. So will the rich person fade away in the midst of his pursuits.

Saturday, was one of the most beautiful and sunny day we had so far. There was a little wind which means that it was not too hot and I went for a walk and it was very nice. I am continuing to pray for all of you that the Lord will bless you all and give you the help that you need.

Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,

“I bless you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who believe in Me as your Savior and friend. Saint James is one of My great friends who had great faith and a great love for Me. His letter fits beautifully in the Bible. He calls himself a slave of God and My slave too. He wrote this letter to the Christians all over the known world to teach them about the meaning of faith and works. He starts by writing that every Christian has to go through trials and these trials are tests for your faith. If you persevere through those trials, then your faith will get strong and you will be perfect. If you lack something, then you have to ask your Lord with faith without doubting. If you doubt then you will not receive what you are asking for. It is those who are in lowly circumstances who are standing high in the face of your Lord and the rich though stand in his lowliness before God. It is the rich person that disappear first in his worldly pursuits.
My dear friends, consider yourself a poor person who needs My help and I will give you what you need if you have strong faith in Me. Remain united to Me and you will have the joy, love and peace in your heart that I give to all My friends. I bless you all.”

The Beloved Disciple

The Beloved Disciple

A reading from the Gospel of Saint John 21, 20 – 23:

Peter turned and saw the disciple following whom Jesus loved, the one who had also reclined upon his chest during the supper and had said, “Master, who is the one who will betray you?” When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about him?” Jesus said to him, “What if I want him to remain until I come? What concern is it of yours? You follow me.” So the word spread among the brothers that that disciple would not die. But Jesus had not told him that he would not die, just “What if I want him to remain until I come? What concern is it of yours?”

It is this disciple who testifies to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true. There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.

We had a lovely sunny day again Friday. I had some visitors. Some came from Connecticut, USA and others came from Nova Scotia in Canada. They came to pray in the chapel of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island and ask for prayers. I prayed with them.

Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to me these words,

“I love you My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who love My Son Jesus and who love Me. You know that Jesus, My Son, while He was on the cross and before He died, He gave Me the Apostle Saint John as My son and I become his Mother. From that day Saint John took Me to his home. When the Apostles were with Jesus after His Resurrection and they were at the Sea of Galilee, My Son Jesus, spoke to Saint Peter and made him head of His Church. Then Saint Peter asked My Son about Saint John. In fact My Son told him not to be concern about Saint John. The other Apostles understood that Saint John would not die but that is not what My Son said. Saint John did die at an old age after he had done all that My Son wanted him to do.

My dear sons and daughters whom I love with all My Heart, follow My Son Jesus. Be people of prayer and love to pray the rosary every day. Those who pray the rosary are protected from the evil one. I am praying for you every day that My Son Jesus may bless you and give you all the graces you need. I bless you all.”

Jesus and Peter

Jesus and Peter

A reading from the Gospel of Saint John 21, 15 – 19:

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” He then said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my sheep.” He said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.” Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted, but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and somebody else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

We had a nice sunny day on Thursday and my sister Esther and I went fishing trout leaving at 7;30 a.m. We caught some nice trout but they were not biting a lot. We got back home before 12:00 noon. Today is Friday so I will eat some of the trout I caught.

Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,

“I bless you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who love to listen to My words. After breakfast by the side of the Sea of Galilee, I talked to Saint Peter. I asked him the same question three times. This question is: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter answered always by saying “yes.” In doing this I appointed Saint Peter the head of My Church and he became the leader of all the members of the Church.
There is another reason why I asked him that question three times and Peter became aware of it when I asked him the third time. The reason why I asked him that question three times is because he had denied Me three times and by answering that question, I was taking away the three sins he had committed. After that he was completely free of his sins.
My dear friends, when you sin against the Father and against Me, you need to repent of your sins and to promise Me that you will not sin again. It is in the sacrament of penance that I forgive your sins and they are gone completely. I love you all.”
