The Prayer of Jesus (1)
A reading from the Gospel of Saint John 17, 1 – 5:
When Jesus had said this, he raised his eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Give glory to your son, so that your son may glorify you, just as you gave him authority over all people, so that he may give eternal life to all you gave him. Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. I glorified you on earth by accomplishing the work that you gave me to do. Now glorify me Father, with you; with the glory that I had with you before the world began.”
We had a cloudy day on Sunday and we expect rain in the evening. I had visitors today from Ottawa who came here to ask for prayers. I prayed for them and their whole family. They left this afternoon to go to Charlottetown. They are people of great faith.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Be people of prayer, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who believe in Me. On My last day in this world I prayed to My heavenly Father asking Him to glorify Me His Son. My whole life on earth was to glorify My Heavenly Father by doing all that He asked Me to do. Now that this work is done, the hour has come for Me to offer Myself totally to the Father in sacrifice. I offered My sacrifice on the cross in great suffering. It was the next day, Good Friday, that I suffered and died to save you all. I had to atone for your sins before the Father because as you know all sins offend the Father and all should go to hell for having offended your Creator. I came to take your place by dying on the cross for you. My Heavenly Father glorified Me because of My sacrifice and now I am truly your Savior.
Come, My dear friends, and believe in Me and you will become truly the sons and daughters of God the Father and My brothers and sisters. God the Father placed you on earth to show Him how you love Him and that you are always ready to adore Him and worship Him with all your heart. I bless you all.”
