The Answer to Prayers
A reading from the Gospel of Saint Matthew 7, 7 – 14:
Jesus said, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks for a loaf of bread, or a snake when he asks for a fish? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.
Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.
Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few.”
I had a peaceful day for my birthday. I had a nice meal and I prayed much. My Aunt who died on March 1st, will be buried on Thursday morning at 10:00. Please keep her, Josephine, in your prayers.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words, “I know My brother Melvin and you My brothers and sisters are people of prayer. Most of you pray every day and you go to Holy Mass on Sundays in your parish church. This makes me very happy and I ask you all to continue this great practice. You know Our Heavenly Father is always ready to answer your prayer if you believe in Him and you are confident that He will hear you.
What I want for all of you is that you will pass through the narrow gate and come to join Me in heaven. I talk about the narrow gate because you need to follow Me every day and to follow the commandments of God. Live with Me on earth and I will bring you to paradise where you will enjoy great happiness forever. I bless you all.”
