Teaching about Anger

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Matthew 5, 21 – 26:

“You have heard that it was said to your ancestors: ‘You shall not kill and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brothers will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, Raqa,’ (imbecile) will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Settle with your opponent quickly while on the way to court with him. Otherwise, your opponent will hand you over to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Amen, I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.”

After a beautiful sunny day today Friday, we are supposed to have rain during the night and it will be sunny again tomorrow. I thank the Lord for the nice weather that we had during the last days and it seems we will have a beautiful week next week.

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 believe and follow the commandments of God. Today I will refer to this commandment: ‘Thou shall not kill.’ You know that it is a very serious sin to kill a person but what leads one to kill. Often it starts with anger and this anger just blows over and you can have the desire to kill the one you hate. Remember however, that anger can be sinful. There is such a thing as just anger especially if you see someone insulting God and in your just anger you tell that person to stop saying these words. In doing this, you have done very well and you will be blessed.
However, there are some who get angry because someone has said something against them or has done something bad to them. I caution you to be very careful with this anger. What My Son teaches is that you should pardon all those who hurt you in any way. Do not get angry and do not say all kinds of horrible things against that person. If you pardon that person for what he said or did against you, then you will be blessed by My Son Jesus. Remain close to Him and follow the example He has shown you. Be men and women of prayer so that you will receive the graces you need and you will grow in faith every day. I love you all and I am praying for you.”

The Similes of Salt and Light

The Similes of Salt and Light

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Matthew 5, 13 – 20:

“You are the salt of the earth. But if salt losed its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel baskets; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.
Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments with be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven. I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

We had a little bit of snow today Thursday but no great amount. The sun did come out in the afternoon and it was mild. The snow melted on the roads and around the house. We are supposed to have a little bit of snow on Friday but then we should have a full week of sunshine. I thank the Lord for the beautiful sunshine.

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

“I have called you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who believe in Me the salt of the earth. I also called you the light of the world. What does this mean? With these words I wish to show you how you should act as My followers. Whoever meets you should see that you believe in Me and you love Me. You are to bring My light to all the people you meet. Speak to them about the love I have for them and how I showed when I was on earth this love. I came on earth to teach you the truth about the Kingdom of God and how I wish that every one of you would be part of My Kingdom. I took all your sins on Myself and suffered and died on the cross to pay the price for all your sins. Live in union with Me and be a teacher to all those you meet. Also be a person of prayer praying for the conversion and all unbelievers that they may come to believe in Me and live according to My teachings.
I did not come on earth to do away with the commandments and with the prophecy of the prophets. No, I came on earth that these be accomplished by every one of you. How can you follow Me if you live a life of sin? No, you are to follow all the commandments of God with My help. Ask Me every day for the graces and strength you need to keep all the commandments and you will be blessed. In this way you will be holy and one day you will be in heaven with Me. I bless you all.”

The Sermon on the Mount

The Sermon on the Mount

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Matthew 5, 1 – 11:

When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He began to teach them saying:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemarkers, for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

I have something important to tell you all. On March 2nd, I will be 75 years old. I call you all to pray for me that my health will remain good for many years to come. I thank the Lord that I am arriving now at 75 years of age.

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

“Come My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters and listen to my teaching as I teach you all the Beatitudes. I gave this teaching on a low hill in Israel and many people were present. The Beatitudes deal with various spiritual ways of living that will bring you all to My Kingdom. You are called to be poor in spirit, to be one who mourns, to be meek, to hunger and thirst for righteousness, to be merciful, to be clean of heart and to be a peacemaker. All those who have these attitudes will surely go to heaven one day.
Do not fear if you have to suffer and to be persecuted for doing what is right for I will be with you and you will surely be in My Kingdom. Do not fear these people but pray for them and forgive them for what they have done. You are to imitate Me every day and in this way I will give you all the joy, peace and love that you can receive. Be My dear brothers and sisters and you will be blessed. I love you all.”
