Blessing

Dear Friends,

Blessing

A reading from the First Letter of Saint Peter 1, 3 – 12:

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in his great mercy gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you who by the power of God are safeguarded through faith, to a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the final time. In this you rejoice, although now for a little while you may have to suffer through various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold that is perishable even though tested by fire, may prove to be for praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Although you have not seen him you love him; even though you do not see him now yet believe in him, you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, as you attain the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Concerning the salvation, prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and investigated it, investigating the time and circumstances that the Spirit of Christ within them indicated when it testified in advance to the suffering destined for Christ and the glories to follow them. It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you with regard to the things that have now been announced to you by those who preached the good news to you through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels longed to look.

Yesterday we had nice mild temperature and plenty of rain. Most of the snow disappeared once more. This is the third time that the snow has melted. Today it should be sunny.

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 live in every country of the world. You know that My greatest suffering was to stand at the foot of the cross of My Son Jesus while He was in horrible suffering. I was there until He died. I held His dead body in My arms after they brought His body down from the cross. I was there when they buried Him in a tomb not far away. Then I went home with My heart in great pain having lost My only Son. However, what joy on Sunday when He came to visit Me after His resurrection from the dead. This was the greatest joy in My life to see Him alive once more. I thank Him with all My love for His visit to Me.
My dear children, believe in Jesus, My Son, who is the Son of God risen from the dead. He died for all of you to redeem you and three days after He was alive again never to die again. Yes He loves you and He wants you all with Him. I love you all and I am praying for all of you.”

Father Melvin

P.S. Our Blessed Mother loves you all.

The Power of Prayer

December 06, 2013

Dear Friends,

The Power of Prayer

A reading from the Letter of Saint James 5, 13 – 20:

Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone in good spirits? He should sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters of the church and they should pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will raised him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful. Elijah was a human being like us, yet he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain upon the land. Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the earth produced its fruit.
My brothers and sisters, if anyone among you should stray from the truth and someone bring him back, he should know that whoever brings back a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

It was cloudy all day yesterday but it was mild. Some of the snow that had fallen the day before melted but not all of it. Today we are to have lots of rain and the snow should all go away once more.

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

“Believe in the power of prayer My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters and be people of prayer. If there is a person sick among you, call the priest (the presbyter) so he can come and pray with the sick person and anoint that person with holy oil. He can be healed physical or at least spiritual by removing all the sins and opening heaven to this persons. This is one of the sacraments I gave My Church and all the sick should receive it. It is a very powerful sacrament.
If any person should be in sin, he or she should go to the priest who will hear his or her confession and absolve the person of all his or her sins. This sacrament too is very powerful. All should go to confession at least once a month.
If there should be someone among you who does not believe or who has left the faith, it is very important to pray for that person and when the occasions demands it, you should speak to this person about Me and how important it is to return and follow Me. If this person is converted then the one who helped that person will be blessed indeed. Come My friends and pray every day and especially pray for sinners and those who do not pray or go to Church. I bless you all.”
Father Melvin

P.S. May the Lord bless you all.

Patience and Oaths

December 05, 2013

Dear Friends,

Patience and Oaths

A reading from the Letter of Saint James 5, 7 – 12:

Be patient, therefore, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains. You too must be patient. Make your hearts firm, because the coming of the Lord is at hand. Do not complain about one another, that you may not be judged. Behold, the Judge is standing before the gates. Take as an example of hardship and patience, brothers and sisters, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Indeed we call blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of the perseverance of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, because “the Lord is compassionate and merciful.”
But above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath, but let your “Yes” mean “Yes” and your “No” mean “No,” that you may not incur condemnation.

I went to Summerside, Prince Edward Island, on Tuesday afternoon and while I was there it began to snow. So I stay there for the night and that is why there was no message yesterday. I came back yesterday afternoon in the snow.

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

“I call you to be patient My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who desire to imitate Me. Patience is a great virtue, which works together with humility. Know that I am patient with you all and how often have I waited for your answer. If you sin, I patiently call on you to repent and sometimes it takes a long time, but at the end you do follow My call and repent and I absolve your sins. Those who are full of pride, do not have patience. Instead of patience, they come up with anger and they may tell the one who offended them many horrible words. At the end it is the one who did not have patience that sins the most. I call you to pray for the person who has hurt you asking Me to give that person the graces he or she needs to repent. I am always ready to do so.
I call on you not to swear by any oath whatsoever. It is sinful to swear like that. Simply give your answer whether it is “yes” or “no” and that is enough. I bless you all My brothers and sisters and I fill you everyday with My love, peace and joy.”
Father Melvin
