Jesus, Faithful High Priest
Dear Friends,
A reading from the Book of Hebrews (3:1-11):
Therefore, holy “brothers,” sharing in a heavenly calling, reflect on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, who was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was “faithful in all his house.” But he is worthy of more “glory” than Moses, as the founder of a house has more “honor” than the house itself. Every house is founded by someone, but the founder of all is God. Moses was “faithful in all his house” as a “servant” to testify to what would be spoken, but Christ was faithful as a son placed over his house. We are his house, if only we hold fast to our confidence and pride in our hope.
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Oh, that today you would hear his voice, ‘Harden not your hearts as at the rebellion in the day of testing in the desert, where your ancestors tested and tried me and saw my works for forty years. Because of this I was provoked with that generation and I said, “They have always been of erring heart, and they do not know my ways.” As I swore in my wrath, “They shall not enter into my rest.”‘”

More and more people in the provinces around us got snow yesterday but here in PEI we did not have any. We thank the Lord to keep us free from snow so far.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I am calling you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters to remain steadfast in your heavenly calling. I was faithful to My calling that I received from My Heavenly Father, so I ask you all to be faithful to Me. I carried out all that the Father has asked of Me, so you too should do the same. You know that I am your Brother and Savior and it is out of love for all of you that I carried out all I was asked to do. So have confidence in Me and be filled with hope.
“When I came on earth, I was rejected by many of the members of My own nation. They did not accept the truth I brought to them but believed all kinds of nonsense and lies. But you the members of My Church, you have accepted Me and you know that I am the Son of God who came to teach you the truth. Accept all I have taught you and you will be blessed. I will give you all the graces you need to follow Me and the strength to avoid the snares of the evil one. Love Me your friend and love your neighbor and you will be a full member of My Kingdom one day. I bless you all.”
Father Melvin
