Duties towards Others

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s First Letter to Timothy (1 Tim 5:1-16):
          Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to him as a father. Treat younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters with complete purity.
Honor widows who are truly widows. But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let these first learn to perform their religious duty to their own family and to make recompense to their parents, for this is pleasing to God. The real widow, who is all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day. But the one who is self-indulgent is dead while she lives. Command this, so that they may be irreproachable. And whoever does not provide for relatives and especially family members has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
Let a widow be enrolled if she is not less than sixty years old, married only once, with a reputation for good works, namely, that she has raised children, practiced hospitality, washed the feet of the holy ones, helped those in distress, involved herself in every good work.
But exclude younger widows, for when their sensuality estranges them from Christ, they want to marry and will incur condemnation for breaking their first pledge. And furthermore, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers but gossips and busybodies as well, talking about things that ought not to be mentioned. So I would like younger widows to marry, have children, and manage a home, so as to give the adversary no pretext for maligning us. For some have already turned away to follow Satan. If any woman believer has widowed relatives, she must assist them; the church is not to be burdened, so that it will be able to help those who are truly widows.

          We have arrived at the last Sunday of October and All Saints Day is very near. Let us prepare ourselves to honor the saints, those canonized by the Church and those who are in heaven but not canonized. Ask them to pray for you that you may have the graces you need to follow Jesus.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Treat all men and women as your brothers and sisters, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters for I have told you to love one another as I love you. There are many widows today and we should have a great love for them. Many live alone and often they are lonely as nobody visits them. Go and visit them and pray with them, and invite them to visit you. Some of these widows are sick and they are suffering in different ways. Help them, especially those who have no relatives to bring them to the doctor or to hospital. If you do this, you will be blessed and you will receive many graces and gifts from Me. Young widows should get married again in Church, so that I can blessed their marriage and they will be My friends. Whether you are married or alone, you are called to follow Me and I will live with you. I love you all.”

Counsel to Timothy

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s First Letter to Timothy (1 Tim 4:6-16):
          If you will give these instructions to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound teaching you have followed. Avoid profane and silly myths. Train yourself for devotion, for, while physical training is of limited value, devotion is valuable in every respect, since it holds a promise of life both for the present and for the future. This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance. For this we toil and struggle, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the savior of all, especially of those who believe.
Command and teach these things. Let no one have contempt for your youth, but set an example for those who believe, in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. Until I arrive, attend to the reading, exhortation, and teaching. Do not neglect the gift you have, which was conferred on you through the prophetic word with the imposition of hands of the presbyterate. Be diligent in these matters, be absorbed in them, so that your progress may be evident to everyone. Attend to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in both tasks, for by doing so you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.

          Today is Our Blessed Mother’s Day and I will celebrate Holy Mass this morning in Her Honor. Let us show Her our love by praying the rosary every day.

          Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother, the Mother of Life, given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
“Be people of great devotion, especially you My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who have great love for Me. Show My dear sons and daughters how all should be devoted to My Son Jesus by praying and contemplating every day. He needs to have His Home in your heart, and you need to have a great devotion to Him. Be close to Me too, for you all belong to My family. I have asked many times that those who follow My Son Jesus that they pray the rosary every day with great devotion, contemplating the various mysteries of the rosary. Prayer, you know, is very powerful because through prayer you receive great graces to help you every day and you receive great strength to oppose the evil one and to follow My Son Jesus. I am praying for you every day. I love you all.”

The Mystery of Our Religion

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to Timothy (3:14-16, 4:1-5):
          I am writing you about these matters, although I hope to visit you soon. But if I should be delayed, you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth. Undeniably great is the mystery of devotion,
Who was manifested in the flesh, vindicated in the spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed to the Gentiles, believed in throughout the world, taken up in glory.
Now the Spirit explicitly says that in the last times some will turn away from the faith by paying attention to deceitful spirits and demonic instructions through the hypocrisy of liars with branded consciences. They forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected when received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the invocation of God in prayer.

          It was colder yesterday because of the wind, but it was sunny for most of the day.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “Do never turn away from the true faith, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters, and give thanks to Me, your Savior, that you belong to My Church founded on St. Peter and the Apostles. There are deceitful spirits and bad teachings from the devil and you must never believe in what these evil ones teach you. No man and woman should live together before they receive the Sacrament of Marriage. I am the one through My Church who blesses marriages and allows a couple to live together in love. Never believe those who teach you about homosexual marriages. All those who have a homosexual condition are to live alone as single people and be men and women of prayer. Do not believe those who tell you that you should not eat this food or that food. All food was created by the Father and it is all good to eat. So receive this food with thanksgiving and eat it. I ask every Christian to say a prayer before he or she starts eating a meal. Invocating God in prayer before a meal is a holy way of acting. I bless you all.”
