The Question about the Resurrection

Sunday, January 22, 2012

Some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection, came forward and put this question to Jesus, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us, ‘If someone’s brother dies leaving a wife but no child, his brother must take the wife and raise up descendants for his brother.’ Now there were seven brothers; the first married a woman but died childless. Then the second and the third married her, and likewise all the seven died childless. Finally the woman also died. Now at the resurrection whose wife will that woman be? For all seven had been married to her.” Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and remarry; but those who are deemed worthy to attain to the coming age and to the resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. They can no longer die, for they are like angels; and they are the children of God because they are the ones who will rise. That the dead will rise even Moses made known in the passage about the bush, when he called ‘Lord’ the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.” Some of the scribes said in reply, “Teacher, you have answered well.” And they no longer dared to ask him anything. (Passage from the Gospel of St. Luke 20:27-40)

Dear Friends,

I will concelebrate Holy Mass this morning at the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road at 11:00 a.m. My trip to Ontario has again been postponed for another week. They will phone me later on to confirm the new dates. So I will continue to send the messages until I leave. I hope I will be home for the First Friday of February so I can have the Healing Mass.

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

““I bless you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in every continent of the world. You have been created by My Father to live on the earth that the Father has created for you. Your destiny is not just to live on earth and then die. No, your destiny is to know, love and serve your Lord on earth and to be happy with Him in heaven forever. You are all called to live with the Father, with Me the Son and with the Holy Spirit together with all the angels and saints.

So what is death? Death is the separation of the soul from the body. The body is buried and the soul ends up according to the judgment of God. At the end of the world when I return for the last time to judge the living and the dead, all the dead will rise again. This is when the resurrection will take place of all the people who died from the time of Adam and Eve until that day. Then all will go to one of two places: heaven or hell. Pray, My brothers and sisters, that you will be on My right and you will come with Me to heaven.

As regards the resurrected body, it will be like My resurrected body. It will be perfect and you will never feel hungry or thirsty, nor will you ever feel tired. You will never be sick again and you will never die. Look forward, My friends, to this great age. I love you.””

Father Melvin
