The Birth of Jesus

Dear Friends,

Please read the passage below from the Gospel of Matthew (1:18-25):

Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph, her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,” which means “God is with us.” When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home. He had no relations with her until she bore a son, and he named him Jesus.

(Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him saying,)

“Melvin, My son, I love you and I love all My sons and daughters living in every country of the world. My greatest desire is to bring you all to My Son, Jesus. I am interceding for each one of you that you will repent of all your sins and be models of prayer. Through prayer you will be united with My Son and with Me, and the Father will bless you. Spend time in contemplative prayer and heaven will live in your heart. Build up a friendship with Jesus, My Son, who awaits this special relationship with you. What is needed from you is your willingness and your decision to begin this deep relationship with your Lord and Saviour.

Paul’s Address to the Jews

Dear Friends,

Please read the passage below from the Acts of the Apostles (13:26-41):

“My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those others among you who are God-fearing, to us this word of salvation has been sent. The inhabitants of Jerusalem and their leaders failed to recognize him (Jesus), and by condemning him they fulfilled the oracles of the prophets that are read Sabbath after Sabbath. For even though they found no grounds for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him put to death, and when they had accomplished all that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and placed him in a tomb. But God raised him from the dead, and for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. These are now his witnesses before the people. We ourselves are proclaiming this good news to you that what God promised our ancestors he has brought to fulfillment for us, their children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second psalm, ‘You are my son; this day I have begotten you.’ And that he raised him from the dead never to return to corruption he declared in this way, ‘I shall give you the benefits assured to David.’ That is why he also says in another psalm, ‘You will not suffer your holy one to see corruption.’ Now David, after he had served the will of God in his lifetime, fell asleep, was gathered to his ancestors, and did see corruption. But the one whom God raised up did not see corruption. You must know, my brothers, that through him forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you, and in regard to everything from which you could not be justified under the law of Moses, in him every believer is justified. Be careful, then, that what was said in the prophets not come about: ‘Look on, you scoffers, be amazed and disappear. For I am doing a work in your days, a work that you will never believe even if someone tells you.’”

Yesterday we had a beautiful afternoon and evening; the sun was hot reaching about 20 degrees Celsius.

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

“My followers, I bless you, especially My brother Melvin, and all My brothers and sisters living in every continent of the world. You would all have been happy to hear St. Paul speak as he did in Antioch. He gave a beautiful explanation about what is said in the Old Testament about Me. Yes, I came into the world and followed all the prophecies that were written about Me up to My death on the cross. When Paul had finished speaking a good number of Jews followed Paul and were converted. Today we need the conversion of the many millions of people throughout the world who do not believe in Me. Pray, My dear ones, that all the Jews, Moslems, Hindus and Buddhists come to hear about Me and open their hearts to accept Me and believe in Me with all their hearts. Pray for this intention every day. I will fill you with My love.”

The Lord’s Prayer

Dear Friends,

Please read the following words of Jesus from the Gospel of St. Matthew (6:5-15):

“When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you. In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. This is how you are to pray:
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread;
and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;
and do not subject us to the final test,
but deliver us from the evil one.
If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.

We should thank the Lord with all our hearts for the ‘Our Father’ which He gave us. It is a very beautiful prayer and all followers of Jesus pray this prayer many times every day.

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

“When I was with the Apostles I gave them the ‘Our Father,’ a prayer addressed to God the Father. It has all the elements needed for a perfect prayer to Our Creator and Lord. Now, Melvin, I gave you some time ago a prayer to Our Dear Mother Mary. I would like that all those who believe in Me would pray this prayer every day. This is the prayer:
