The Healing of the Blind Beggar

Dear Friends,

Now as Jesus approached Jericho a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging, and hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what was happening. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” He shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!” The people walking in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent, but he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have pity on me!” Then Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to him; and when he came near, Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, please let me see.” Jesus told him, “Have sight; your faith has saved you.” He immediately received his sight and followed him, giving glory to God. When they saw this, all the people gave praise to God. (Passage from the Gospel of St. Luke 18:35-43)

I started the French retreat yesterday and some people attended especially some from around Quebec City. I will finish tomorrow at noon. I will have a Healing Mass this afternoon at 3:00 p.m. and this evening we will all go to the Charismatic Prayer meeting at 8:00 p.m.

Please pray for a special intention I have. I am asking Our Blessed Mother to please grant Me this special request.

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

“May the sun shine upon you, My brother Melvin, and upon all My brothers and sisters living in all the countries of the world. If you have eyes and you can see, do not forget to thank Our Heavenly Father for this is a gift from Him. When this blind man came to Me in Jericho when I was passing through, He was shouting to Me to have pity on him. Although those walking with Me tried to stop him, he did not stop but shouted the louder. Indeed I saw his great faith and I gave him his sight. How thankful he was!

Today there are a lot of people who are blind spiritually because they do not have faith in Me. They are walking around like blind people. Pray that they may receive the gift of spiritual sight, which is the gift of faith. I bless you.”
