Against Factions
Dear Friends,
A reading from the Letter of St. Paul to the Romans (16:17-27):
I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles, in opposition to the teaching that you learned; avoid them. For such people do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites, and by fair and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the innocent. For while your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, I want you to be wise as to what is good, and simple as to what is evil; then the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Timothy, my co-worker, greets you; so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my relatives. I, Tertius, the writer of this letter, greet you in the Lord. Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus greet you. Now to him who can strengthen you, according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret for long ages but now manifested through the prophetic writings and, according to the command of the eternal God, made known to all nations to bring about the obedience of faith, to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ be glory forever and ever. Amen.
I am almost finished writing the Newsletter of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island and soon I will start sending it out. I am somewhat late because I was sick with the flu but now I am much better. I hope my strength will come back soon. The weather since the beginning of June is rather cold. The temperature goes down to less than 10 degrees Celsius at night and not even reaching 15 degrees Celsius during the day. However, we should have a big change in a few days.
(Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words.)
“As I greet you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in all the continents of the world, I call you all to be obedient to Me and to follow the true doctrine I taught the Apostles, and they have taught you what I have taught them. There are many today who teach all kinds of strange doctrines and if what they teach is different than what I taught, you can be sure that their teachings are false. The new phenomenon called New Age is completely false. They deny God and they think that human beings are gods. How wrong can you be! They perform reiki on people and they say the sick will be healed. This too is false for people can be healed but it lasts only two weeks and then they are worst than ever. There are all kinds of satanic cults and no Christian should ever get involved in this. There are different sects too such as the Church of Latter-Day Saints which is also false. No one should belong to such a sect.
My friends, remain in My Church and you will be close to Me and you will be blessed. I love you all, My brothers and sisters, and let us be friends all the days of your life.”
Father Melvin
