The Return from Egypt

The Return from Egypt

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Matthew 2, 19 – 23:

When Herod had died, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child’s life are dead.” He rose, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go back there. And because he had been warned in a dream, he departed for the region of Galilee. He went and dwelt in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled. “He shall be called a Nazorean.”

This morning Friday when I woke up, I found that a little bit of snow had fallen and at that time it was raining. We did not have any snow the whole day Friday only some rain in the late afternoon. Imagine the sun came out for awhile in the afternoon. The worst part of the storm is over and now it is very mild: 6 degrees Celsius. I hope we will have a nice day on Saturday.

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 accept Me as your Mother. Although Jesus was born in Bethlehem, we had to flee to Egypt because King Herod wanted to kill My child. So an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him to take us with him to Egypt. We went to that foreign country and we lived there for some years. We had to wait there until King Herod died. So when he died, the angel came back to Joseph to tell him that we could return. So we came back to Jerusalem but because the king’s son was now the new king, we decided to go to the town we had lived previously. So we departed from Jerusalem and went to Nazareth in the region of Galilee. We found our old home and moved in once more. It is there in Nazareth that Joseph died and where Jesus became a full grown man. He worked hard as a carpenter having been trained by Joseph His fosterfather. We went to the Synagogue every Saturday and we prayed at home every day. Jesus had a very special relationship with God the Father and He would spend time with His Father every day.
I call on you all, My dear sons and daughters, to be Christians of prayer and those who are married must teach their children to pray. They should join their parents and pray regularly. I call you all to pray the rosary every day. If you pray every day, you will be blessed, and My Son Jesus will protect you and gave you all the graces and gifts that you need. The children too will grow with great faith and love for their Savior and Me their Mother. I bless you all.”

The Flight into Egypt

The Flight into Egypt

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Matthew 2, 13 – 18:

When the Magi had departed, behold, the angel of the lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him.” Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt. He stayed there until the death of Herod, that what the Lord had said through the prophet might be fulfilled, “Out of Egypt, I called my son.”
When Herod realized that he had been deceived by the magi, he became furious. He ordered the massacre of all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had ascertained from the magi. Then was fulfilled what had been said through Jeremiah the prophet:
“A voice was heard in Ramah, sobbing and loud lamentation;
Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be consoled,
since they were no ore.”

We are suppose to have a snow storm and some rain tonight Thursday to Friday. I am praying that not much snow or rain will fall here so that I can get out on Saturday.

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

“I know you believe in Satan My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who read the Bible often. When I was still very young the King of Israel, King Herod, decided to kill all the boys from two years of age and under living in Bethlehem and its surrounding. How horrible the king was to kill all these innocent children.
My foster father was told by an angel to flee with Me and My Mother to Egypt. So that very night he took us and we fled. Because the Magi had not return to King Herod, he got angry and sent the army to kill all these small children. Many were killed and the prophet Jeremiah had predicted that the women would be crying because their children were no more.These innocent children are all in heaven because they died as they were identified to Me. By killing them they thought they would kill Me too.
So you see as soon as I was born, Satan wanted to destroy Me. King Herod acted to kill Me because he was influenced by Satan. However, My heavenly Father saved Me by getting My parents to flee with Me to Egypt. We stayed there some years and Joseph was a carpenter so he worked to make sure that we had some food to eat and a place to stay.
My dear friends, never give freedom to Satan to do his horrible acts. Instead stay united to Me and I will protect you and I will give you the graces you need to say ‘no’ to the temptations from Satan. I love you and I have come on earth to save you. Come follow Me.”

The Visit of the Magi

The Visit of the Magi

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Matthew 2, 1 – 12:

When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage.” When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Assembling all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born. They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophets:
“And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; since from you shall come a ruler, who is to shepherd my people Israel.”
Then Herod called the magi secretly and ascertained from them the time of the star’s appearance. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search diligently for the child. When you have found him, bring me word, that I too may go and do him homage.” After their audience with the king they set out. And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was. They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way.

We had another fine day on Wednesday with sunshine the whole day and it was not so cold in the afternoon. We should have sunshine on Thursday morning but by evening we are supposed to have a snowstorm. I hope it does not last very long.

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

“You know My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters that I came into the world for the salvation of all the people not only the Jewish people. When I was born in Jerusalem, the first people who came to do Me homage were the Jews. Our Heavenly Father, however, arrange to have a star appear in the East so that some of the Gentiles would also come to do Me homage. These represented all the non-Jews throughout the world. So these men called Magi saw the star and they knew what it meant that the King of the Jews was born. So they left their country and traveled all the way to Jerusalem. They went to ask King Herod where I had been born but he knew nothing about this. However, the Jewish religious leaders knew and so the king sent them to Bethlehem. They were guided by a star to the steps of the house where I was. They came in and did homage to me and offered great gifts.
Remember what the Magi did was to represent everyone of you who live in all the different countries of the world. They did not return to King Herod to tell him where I lived but they went home by another way. King Herod was angry and he sent the army to Bethlehem to kill all the male infants who had been born from that day to two years before. My parents however took Me and they fled to Egypt and so I escaped death by the army.
My dear friends, I love you all and I came on earth for you all. I came so that you will come to know Me and believe in Me and follow Me so that one day you will be in eternal bliss in heaven. I want all of you to be save. Come and follow Me.”
