Walk in the Truth

January 01, 2014

Dear Friends,

Walk in the Truth

A reading from the Third Letter of St. John 1, 1 – 15:

The Presbyter to the beloved Gaius whom I love in truth. Beloved, I hope you are prospering in every respect and are in good health, just as your soul is prospering. I rejoiced greatly when some of the brothers came and testified to how truly you walk in the truth. Northing gives me greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
Beloved, you are faithful in all you do for the brothers, especially for strangers; they have testified to your love
before the church. Please help then in a way worthy of God to continue their journey. For they have set out for the sake of the Name and are accepting nothing from the pagans. Therefore, we ought to support such persons, so that we may be co-workers in the truth.
I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to dominate, does not acknowledge us. Therefore, if I come, I will draw attention to what he is doing, spreading evil nonsense about us. And not content with that, he will not receive the brothers, hindering those who wish to do so and expelling them from the church.
Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does what is good is of God; whoever does what is evil has never seen God. Demetrius receives a good report from all, even from the truth itself. We give our testimonial as well, and you know our testimony is true.
I have much to write to you, but I do not wish to write with pen and ink. Instead, I hope to see you soon, when we can talk face to face. Peace be with you. The friends greet you; greet the friends there each by name.

We are now in the New Year 2014. I am praying for all of you that the Lord bless you throughout this New Year. May He give you good health and all the graces you need. May your faith and love grow throughout the year.

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

“I call you all to walk in the truth especially you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have offered yourselves to Me completely. Be faithful to all your commitments and do not avoid to do what you are asked to do. May the year we begin today be a time for you to study your Bible and the Catechism of the Church. It is in these books that you will find the whole truth. If somebody should teach you something which is contrary to the Bible or to the Catechism, then do not believe that person but continue to believe in the truth and follow the truth. I bless you all My friends and I ask you all to come to Me every day to receive the gifts and graces I have for you. I am always ready to help you. I love you all.”

Father Melvin

P.S. May the Lord fill you all with great love and peace on this first day of the New Year. I am praying for all of you that you will have good health and great joy during the year 2014.

Let us Love One Another

December 31, 2013

Let us Love One Another

A reading from the Second Letter of Saint John 1, 1 – 13:

The Presbyter to the chosen Lady and to her children whom I love in truth–and not only I but also all who know the truth–because of the truth that dwells in us and will be with us forever. Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son in truth and love.
I rejoice greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth just as we were commanded by the Father. But now, Lady, I ask you, not as though I were writing a new commandment but the one we have had from the beginning: let us love one another. For this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, as you heard from the beginning, in which you should walk.
Many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, such is the deceitful one and the antichrist. Look to yourselves that you do not lose what we worked for but may receive a full recompense. Anyone who is so “progressive” as not to remain in the teaching of the Christ does not have God, whoever remains in the teaching has the Father and the Son. If anyone coming to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him in your home or even greet him; for whoever greets him shares in his evil works.
Although I have much to write to you, I do not intend to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and to speak face to face so that our joy may be complete. The children of your chosen sister send you greetings.

I thank all those who sent me Christmas Cards and are offering prayers for me every day. Tomorrow is New Year’s Day. I wish you all a Blessed New Year and may the Lord fill you all with His graces throughout the year. I pray that you will have good health and be filled with peace and joy.

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

“Love one another My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who believe in Me who was born in Bethlehem and lived on earth until I died nailed to the cross. I gave you all one commandment: love one another as I love you. You are to love God with all your heart and to follow Him every day of your life. I call you to be a person of prayer and to be an active member of My Church I founded on the Apostles. My Church is now present in every country of the world. My Church is the one that has as its leader the Successor of Saint Peter as Bishop of Rome. Follow your leader chosen through the power of the Holy Spirit. I want you all to love all your brothers and sisters. If anyone has offended you in any way, you are to forgive him or her and to continue to love that person. I gave you this example: after I was crucified to the cross, I told My Heavenly Father to forgive all those who have caused Me great suffering and have nailed Me to the cross. You too are to forgive like I did. I bless you all and I give you the graces you need for the New Year.”

Prayer for Sinners

Prayer for Sinners

A reading from the First Letter of Saint John 5, 13 – 21:

I write these things to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God. And we have this confidence in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, we know that what we have asked him for is ours. If anyone sees his brother sinning, if the sin is not deadly, he should pray to God and he will give him life. This is only for those whose sin is not deadly. There is such a thing as deadly sin, about which I do not say that you should pray. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that is not deadly.
We know that no one begotten by God sins, but the one begotten by God he protects, and the evil one cannot touch him. We know that we belong to God and the whole world is under the power of the evil one. We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us discernment to know the one who is true. And we are in the one who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Children, be on your guard against idols.

There is a big snowstorm coming our way once more. It started in the Gulf of Mexico and traveled all through the USA to reach Canada. I hope there will not be too much snow.

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 every human person is a sinner. Without My help none of you could enter heaven. There are two kinds of sins: venial sins and mortal sins. A venial sin is not deadly and with prayers it can be taken away. An example of a venial sin is this: to react angrily at someone who tells lies about you. A mortal sin is a very serious sin and it is deadly. Such a sin could be adultery, stealing something important, drunkenness, to be high on drugs, etc. In order to have such a sin absolve you need to go to confession to a priest and regret what you have done. In this way I will take away your sin and you will be My friend once more.
If you remain close to Me and ask Me every day for the graces you need to avoid sin, I will help you and if you persist in your prayer, you will overcome all your sins. Come and follow all the commandments of the Father that He has given you and you will be saved. I love you and I am always there to help you.”
Father Melvin
