Sacrifice of Jesus

Dear Friends,
A reading from the Letter to the Hebrews (9:11-15):

          But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that have come to be, passing through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made by hands, that is, not belonging to this creation, he entered once for all into the sanctuary, not with the blood of goats and calves but with his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of a heifer’s ashes can sanctify those who are defiled so that their flesh is cleansed, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal spirit  offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works to worship the living God. For this reason he is mediator of a new covenant: since a death has taken place for deliverance from transgressions under the first covenant, those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance.

          We are having a mild weekend. It was 8 degrees Celsius yesterday and it will come up to 12 degrees Celsius by Monday. This is very good for the month of November.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “I am the perfect sacrifice and I pray that you believe it, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters. In the Old Testament they used the blood of goats and of bulls to offer sacrifice to the Father for their sins. This sacrifice was accepted by the Father but it was not a perfect sacrifice. However, as I am the Son of God, I offered My own blood to the Father once and for all and this became an eternal sacrifice. Through this sacrifice I was able to atone for all the sins of the people until the end of time. For this perfect sacrifice, I had to be both human and divine and so I am. I am indeed your Redeemer who paid the price for your sins and if you repent of your sins you are cleansed. You are called to receive the Sacrament of Penance, which I gave to the Church to absolve you. The Father sees My sacrifice all the time and so He is ready to take away your sins when you come to Him. My sacrifice is the sacrifice of the New Testament and this one sacrifice is renewed every time a priest offers Holy Mass. When you are at Mass, it is the same as if you were at the foot of My cross when I died for you all. Holy Mass is the greatest prayer you can take part in. Go as often as you can and take active part in the Holy Mass. I love you and I bless you.”

The Worship of the First Covenant

The Worship of the First Covenant

Dear Friends,
A reading from the Letter to the Hebrews (9:1-10):

          
Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary. For a tabernacle was constructed, the outer one, in which were the lampstand, the table, and the bread of offering; this is called the Holy Place. Behind the second veil was the tabernacle called the Holy of Holies, in which were the gold altar of incense and the ark of the covenant entirely covered with gold. In it were the gold jar containing the manna, the staff of Aaron that had sprouted, and the tablets of the covenant. Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of expiation. Now is not the time to speak of these in detail.
With these arrangements for worship, the priests, in performing their service, go into the outer tabernacle repeatedly, but the high priest alone goes into the inner one once a year, not without blood that he offers for himself and for the sins of the people. In this way the holy Spirit shows that the way into the sanctuary had not yet been revealed while the outer tabernacle still had its place. This is a symbol of the present time, in which gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the worshiper in conscience but only in matters of food and drink and various ritual washings: regulations concerning the flesh, imposed until the time of the new order.

          We had a beautiful day yesterday with the temperature up to 9 degrees Celsius. It was sunny in the afternoon and I thank the Lord for this special day.

          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 My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters to believe that I am the Son of the Father sent to earth to redeem you all and to open heaven for you. Our Heavenly Father had prepared the Jewish people by giving them the Old Testament. In this way they had a special way to worship the Father in the Temple that they built according to the Father’s plan. Through the Old Testament the Father prepared this single nation to welcome the Savior who
 would come one day. The Old Covenant did not atone for the sins of the people and did not open heaven to the people. Through the Father and the prophets sent by Him, the people were taught the truth about the Creator and the Universe and what the Father was waiting for. I who am the Savior of the world had a place prepared for Me in this Jewish Nation. My Mother was a Jewish woman who was well prepared to give birth to the Savior. St. Joseph, My foster father was also a Jewish man and well verse in the Old Testament. He had great faith and prayed much. However, what was terrible is that the vast majority of the Jewish people did not accept Me as the Savior of the world. It was the non-Jews who accepted Me and many of them are part of My Church today.
“I came into the world to establish a new covenant in My blood. Now the Old Covenant is abolished and you all live in the New Covenant. Believe in Me and follow My Church and you will do all I asked you to do by living in the New Covenant. I love you and I bless you all.”

Heavenly Priesthood of Jesus

Heavenly Priesthood of Jesus

Dear Friends,
A reading from the Book of Hebrews (8:1-13):

          
The main point of what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle that the Lord, not man, set up.
Now every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus the necessity for this one also to have something to offer. If then he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are those who offer gifts according to the law. They worship in a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, as Moses was warned when he was about to erect the tabernacle. For he says, “See that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” Now he has obtained so much more excellent a ministry as he is mediator of a better covenant, enacted on better promises.
For if that first covenant had been faultless, no place would have been sought for a second one. But he finds fault with them and says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will conclude a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers the day I took them by the hand to lead them forth from the land of Egypt; for they did not stand by my covenant and I ignored them, says the Lord. But this is the covenant I will establish with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds and I will write them upon their hearts. I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall not teach, each one his fellow citizen and kinsman, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know me, from least to greatest. For I will forgive their evildoing and remember their sins no more.”
When he speaks of a “new” covenant, he declares the first one obsolete. And what has become obsolete and has grown old is close to disappearing.

          We had sun for a time yesterday but it clouded over in the evening. Today it should be sunny and the temperature will go up to 8 degrees Celsius.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Saviour given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “I am your High Priest according to the New Covenant I brought about in My blood. I call you all to accept Me as the High Priest, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who belong to My Church. Before My coming into the world, there was the Old Covenant which My Father made with Moses on the mountain. He made this covenant with the Jewish people as they were returning to the Promised Land after spending over 400 years in slavery in Egypt. It was while they were in the desert that He called Moses to climb the mountain and he stayed with Him for forty days and taught him all about the covenant. Afterwards, Moses came down and established the covenant with the people as the Father had told him. The Jewish people however did not follow the covenant and they had to be exiled more than once.
“At the end I came into the world and I established a more perfect covenant with the people who believed in Me. All have to believe in Me, their Savior, and be active members of My Church and to love one another. In this way they will become My brothers and sisters and I will help them while they are on earth and at the end I will come to get them and bring them to heaven, to the place I prepared for them. I bless you all.”
