Courage under Persecution

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Matthew 10, 26 – 33:

Jesus said, “Therefore do not be afraid of them. Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid, you are worth more than many sparrows. Everyone who acknowledges me before others, I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father. But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father.”

Our Blessed Mother will come to visit me on March 25, the Feast of the Annunciation. She comes every year on this date. She will appear in the chapel I had built for Her. I am awaiting Her visit with great anticipation and love. I will publish Her message in the Newsletter which will appear in April. If anyone is interested, please send $12.00 if you live in Canada and $15.00 if you live outside Canada for a yearly subscription to the Newsletter.

Below you will find the message of our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words, “Do not be afraid My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who follow Me every day. Many people will undergo persecution during their life on earth. You will be accused of all kinds of falsehood and you will be hated because of your faith in Me. Do not be afraid of these people whether they are of the government, the army, the police or just a group of people. Those people are working not for Me but for the devil. They want to get rid of all those who teach the Good News, who pray regularly and go to church at least every Sunday. You know for over two hundred years after I founded My Church, My followers in Rome and in many parts of Europe were persecuted and others were killed as martyrs although they did not do anything wrong. Even today over one hundred thousand Christians are killed every year because of their faith in Me. I tell you if you die a martyr, then you go strait to heaven. No martyr passes through Purgatory. All their sufferings takes away all the result of their sins so they are ready for heaven. Remember Our Heavenly Father loves you all and He knows you better than you know yourself. Remain always in union with Him and with Me and you will be in heaven one day. I love you all.”

Coming Persecutions

Coming Persecutions

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Matthew 10, 16- 25:

Jesus said, “Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves. But beware of people, for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues, and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake as a witness before them and the pagans. When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. No disciple is above his teacher, no slave above his master. It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, for the slave that he become like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household.”

A few days ago I was asked to pray for a woman with breast cancer and she was to be operated on Thursday. I prayed for her and asked Jesus to heal her completely. When the doctor examined her just before the operation, he found out that the cancer was gone. She was completely free of that breast cancer. I praised the Lord for this great healing.

Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words, “I bless you My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who have great faith in My Son Jesus and who follow Him. He told His Apostles that they would suffer persecution because the leaders of the country did not believe in Him. You know that the Jewish leaders are the ones who condemned Him to death and the Roman soldiers carried out the sentence. If any of you is hauled before a court, do not worry about what you are to say because the Holy Spirit will enlighten you. He will speak through you.
You know that all the Apostles except John suffered persecution and were killed. They are all martyrs who followed in the footstep of Jesus, My Son. After the Apostles many Christians were killed because of their faith in their Savior. Even today there are many all over the world who are suffering although they have not done anything wrong. The Moslems are persecuting many Christians in many countries and I pray to My Son that He stops this. I call you all to pray for these persecuted Christians that they will have the strength to withstand all this and to endure until the end and so they will be saved. I love you all.”

The Mission of the Twelve

The Mission of the Twelve

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Matthew 10, 1 – 15:

Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness. The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother, Andrew, James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus, Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him.
Jesus sent out these twelve after instructing them thus, “Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have receive; without cost you are to give. Do not take gold or silver or copper for your belts; no sack for the journey, or a second tunic, or sandals, or walking stick. The laborer deserves his keep. Whatever town or village you enter, look for a worthy person in it, and stay there until you leave. As you enter a house, wish it peace. If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; if not, let your peace return to you. Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words–go outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet. Amen, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gormorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

We have another snowstorm which began last evening (Wednesday) and it snowed with lots of wind the whole day Thursday. It should stop during the night so that on Friday the sun should shine. I pray that this will be the last snowstorm of this winter. We are only seven days before the beginning of Spring.

Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words, “I want you to be aware My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters that I was the one who called the Twelve Apostles one by one. I called them to come and follow Me during My public life. I gave them special powers and I sent them out to towns and villages to talk about the coming of the Kingdom of God. They had great power to heal and to chase evil spirits. I also taught them where they were to stay while in a town or village. They were to do what I was doing as I visited all around. The Apostles stayed with Me almost three years and they saw all the miracles I did and they heard what I preached to the people everywhere. In this way they came to know the Good News which I brought into the world. They continued to go and preached after My death and resurrection. Once they received the Holy Spirit then they started My Church and I chose Saint Peter as My Church leader.
The Apostles played a great role in the development of My Church. They traveled to different countries and many people believed them and became members of My Church through baptism. Bishops were appointed and priests to lead My followers in all the countries that the Apostles visited. All the Apostles except Saint John are martyrs. They were killed because of their great faith in Me. One who was not there at the beginning of My Church is Judas Iscariot. Today all the bishops and priests of My Church have the great power I gave My Apostles especially the power to celebrate the Holy Eucharist and to absolve the sins of Christians. They receive this power through the ordination that comes from the Apostles. Accept all My leaders as you would accept the Apostles. I bless you all.”
