Dear Friends,
Apostolic Witness
A reading from the second Letter of Saint Peter 1, 12 – 21:
I will always remind you of these things, even though you already know them and are established in the truth you have. It think it right, as long as I am in this “tent,” to stir you up by a reminder, since I know that I will soon have to put it aside, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me. I shall also make every effort to enable you always to remember these things after my departure.
We did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received honor and glory from God the Father when that unique declaration came to him from the majestic glory, “This is my Son, my beloved, with whom I am well pleased.” We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven while we were with him on the holy mountain. Moreover, we possess the prophetic message that is altogether reliable. You will do well to be attentive to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophecy ever came through human will; but rather human beings moved by the Holy Spirit spoke under the influence of God.
Yesterday Sunday we had a great winter storm with plenty of snow and wind. It snowed the whole day and some feet of snow fell. Yes, winter is here for sure.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Know My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters that My great witnesses are the Apostles. They were with Me for three years and they heard and saw all I did. They saw the healings I performed and the miracle of the multiplication of bread and fish and many others. They also heard the words of Our Heavenly Father speaking to them about Me. At the end they saw Me risen from the dead and I stayed with them for forty days after My Resurrection. They were also present when I ascended into heaven on Mount Olivet. So what they wrote is complete truth. They are also all martyrs except Saint John.
If you follow what they wrote in the Bible, you will indeed be following Me, your Savior. It is upon Saint Peter that I established My Church, which is to remain on earth until My second return. My Church is headed by the successor of Saint Peter, who is the Bishop of Rome. Follow My Church and you will follow Me. I bless you all.”
Father Melvin
P.S. I know that you had your share of snow too. May the Lord bless you all.
