The Death of Jesus

The Death of Jesus

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Matthew 27, 45 – 57:

From noon onward, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And about three o’clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” Some of the bystanders who heard it said, “This one is calling for Elijah.” Immediately one of them ran to get a sponge; he soaked it in wine, and putting it on a reed, gave it to him to drink. But the rest said, “Wait, let us see if Elijah comes to save him.” But Jesus cried out again in a loud voice, and gave up his spirit. And behold, the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, rocks were split, tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. And coming forth from their tombs after his resurrection, they entered the holy city and appeared to many. The centurion and the men with him who were keeping watch over Jesus feared greatly when they saw the earthquake and all that was happening, and they said, “Truly, this was the Son of God!” There were many women there, looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him. Among them were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

Yesterday June 12th was my sister’s birthday. Her name is Esther and she is the one who lost her husband a few months ago. She is 74 years old today. She had an operation to remove the cancer from her breast about a week ago and she is now doing not too bad. Please pray for her.

Below is the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,

“I bless you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who believe in Me as your Savior and Lord. Indeed I was crucified on the cross about noon and at three o’clock in the afternoon I shouted the words of Psalm 22: ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” I would like every one of you to read this psalm on Friday June 13th. This was the psalm I was reciting just before I died on the cross. The people did not know what I was saying. They thought that I was calling upon the prophet Elijah and they wanted to wait to see if Elijah would come to save Me. This psalm is a prayer to My Heavenly Father and it is a beautiful psalm. After praying this psalm, I cried again and died. Many things did happen after My death on the cross. However, St. Matthew did not mention that My Mother was at the cross when I died. I spoke to Her just before My death. I gave Her to you all to become your Mother. St. Matthew did not write about this because he was not present at My cross when I died. The only Apostle present was St. John and he wrote in his gospel all that happened there at the cross just before I died and also what happened at My death.”

The Way of the Cross and the Crucifixion

June 12, 2014

The Way of the Cross and the Crucifixion

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Matthew 27, 37 – 45:

As they were going out, they met a Cyrenian named Simon, this man they pressed into service to carry his cross.
And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of the Skull), they gave Jesus wine to drink mixed with gall. But when he had tasted it, he refused to drink. After they had crucified him, they divided his garments by casting lots; then they sat down and kept watch over him there. And they placed over his head the written charge against him: This is Jesus, the King of the Jews. Two revolutionaries were crucified with him, one on his right and the other on his left. Those passing by reviled him, shaking their heads and saying, “You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself, if you are the Son of God, and come down from the cross!”
Likewise the chief priests with the scribes and elders mocked him and said, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. So he is the king of Israel! Let him come down from the cross now and we will believe in him. He trusted in God; let him deliver him now if he wants him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God'” The revolutionaries who were crucified with him also kept abusing him in the same way.

Beside the priest in Paris who was healed, there is another priest in the Province of Quebec who is suffering from cancer. His name is Rene. Please pray for him that the Lord may heal him completely. I started praying for him today Wednesday.

Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,

“I bring you all especially My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who read this message to My cross as I hang upon it for your salvation. You know that I carried My cross to Calvary just outside of the city of Jerusalem, and there they nailed My feet and My hands to the cross. Then they raised the cross with Me hanging on it. Two others were crucified at the time, one on My right and the other on My left. The Jews made fun of Me and said all kinds of things against Me. They placed over My head these words, ‘This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.’ Even one who was crucified with Me also abused Me like the Jews. At the end most of the people present at My cross rejected Me and thought they had done a good thing by crucifying Me.
However, at the cross, My Mother was standing there and St. John, My beloved Apostle, was there too. They suffered much to see Me in such agony. Even one of those crucified with Me accept Me and called on Me to help him. I told him that he would be in paradise that day.
This hour of darkness that filled the earth at My death shows that a terrible thing had happened. The Father wanted to show all the people that they had killed His only Son. Yet I accepted all this suffering and death for you My brothers and sisters. I want to save each and every one of you. Come now and follow Me. I bless you all.”

Father Melvin

P.S. What a beautiful day we had on Wednesday! It was sunny and warm the whole day. I thank the Lord for showing us such great love. He loves us all and He blesses us.

Mockery by the Soldiers

Mockery by the Soldiers

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Matthew 27, 27 – 31:

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus inside the praetorium and gathered the whole cohort around him. They stripped off his clothes and threw a scarlet military cloak about him. Weaving a crown out of thorns, they placed it on his head, and a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” They spat upon him and took the reed and kept striking him on the head. And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the cloak, dressed him in his own clothes, and led him off to crucify him.

Sometime ago a woman came to see me who was sick but she had stopped to pray. I prayed with her and asked her to give herself to the Lord. She gave herself totally to Him and I then told her that she has to go to Mass every Sunday and to pray her rosary every day. When she got home she began to go to Holy Mass every Sunday and now she prays her rosary every day. Her faith has come back and she has a great love for Jesus and the Blessed Mother.

Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus
spoke to him these words,

“I bless you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who contemplate My Passion and death on the cross. Before I started carrying the cross to Calvary, I was taken inside to a room and there the soldiers mocked Me. They first made a crown of thorns and placed it on My head. I felt great pain as these thorns entered My head and especially when they hit these thorns with the reed they put in my hand. Blood did come out of these wounds in My head and it flowed down My face. The soldiers would mock Me by kneeling before Me and saying these words, “Hail, King of the Jews.” Then they spat on me. I had been stripped of My clothes and they had put a military cloak on Me but when they had finished to mock Me, they took away the military cloak and dressed Me in My own clothes. Now I was ready to start My Way of the Cross.
Spend days, My dear friends, especially Fridays to contemplate My suffering from the Garden of Gethsemane until My death on the cross. This will help you to love Me more and to thank Me for all I suffered for you. I suffered all this out of love for each one of you. Remember I am your Savior.”

Father Melvin

P.S. It was not as warm today Tuesday as the temperature only came to 15 degrees Celsius. However, it was sunny for most of the day except in the late afternoon it became cloudy. It should be sunny tomorrow Wednesday. I am praying for all of you.
