God’s Just Judgment
Dear Friends,
Please read the passage below from one of Paul’s Letters to the Romans (2:1-11):
Therefore, you are without excuse, every one of you who passes judgment. For by the standard by which you judge another you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the very same things. We know that the judgment of God on those who do such things is true. Do you suppose, then, you who judge those who engage in such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you hold his priceless kindness, forbearance, and patience in low esteem, unaware that the kindness of God would lead you to repentance? By your stubbornness and impenitent heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself for the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgment of God, who will repay everyone according to his works: eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality through perseverance in good works, but wrath and fury to those who selfishly disobey the truth and obey wickedness. Yes, affliction and distress will come upon every human being who does evil, Jew first and then Greek. But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, Jew first and then Greek. There is no partiality with God.
I thank the Lord again for the beautiful day we had here yesterday. It was sunny and warm the whole day. I am preparing the Newsletter for the summer season. This is already the third one for this year. I have been working during the last few days on the accounts of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island Inc. I hope to bring them in sometime tomorrow. I still feel weak although my cough is gone and I hope it does not come back. I am taking vitamin pills to help me get strong again.
(Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,)
“I have mercy on you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in the world. My love and mercy will have no end. Just come to Me and open your heart and I will fill it. My great friend, St. Paul, had a very special relationship with Me after his conversion and it was more intense as the years went by. He knew that My judgment was just for I know better than anyone what is in the heart of every person. Many judge others but they cannot read the hearts of their neighbours. They only see from the outside but I can look and see the interior of a person and know exactly what is going on. I tell you, My friends, do not judge your neighbour because if you do, you will be judged in the same way. If you see something that is not right, pray for that person that he or she may change his or her ways. It is through prayer that you can help that person who is in need. Offer yourself up to Me with all your difficulties and I will give you rest. I can bring you peace, which no one can do. Today many are in need of My peace but they do not ask for it. How many times is it written: ask and you will receive. I am always ready to help you. Come and spend time with Me especially in contemplative prayer and you will receive many graces to help you in your daily life. I love you and bless you.”
