Thanksgiving for their Faith

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Thessalonians (1:2-10):
          We give thanks to God always for all of you, remembering you in our prayers, unceasingly calling to mind your work of faith and labor of love and endurance in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father, knowing, brothers loved by God, how you were chosen. For our gospel did not come to you in word alone, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with much conviction. You know what sort of people we were among you for your sake. And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in great affliction, with joy from the Holy Spirit, so that you became a model for all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but in every place your faith in God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything. For they themselves openly declare about us what sort of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God and to await his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, who delivers us from the coming wrath.

          The Thanksgiving Day is over once more, but we should thank the Lord every day for all that He does for us. He is our greatest Friend and He loves us with all His Heart.

Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior giving to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “Like Saint Paul give thanks to the Father every day, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who know that I live in your hearts. It is God who created you and gave you all the gifts that you have as a human being. He called you to believe in Him and to obey Him in all things. It is God the Father who sent Me, your Savior, into the world so I could teach you and show you the way you have to follow. I offered Myself in sacrifice to take away your sins and to give you the graces you need to believe in Me and be part of My great family. I want you all to have a great devotion to My Mother who is also your Mother. She loves you very much. Do not be afraid to speak about Me and My Mother to people whom you meet and tell them how you love us. I love you today and I will love you every day.”

The Christian Family

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Colossians (3:18-25, 4:1-6):
          Wives, be subordinate to your husbands, as is proper in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and avoid any bitterness toward them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they may not become discouraged.
Slaves, obey your human masters in everything, not only when being watched, as currying favor, but in simplicity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, do from the heart, as for the Lord and not for others, knowing that you will receive from the Lord the due payment of the inheritance; be slaves of the Lord Christ. For the wrongdoer will receive recompense for the wrong he committed, and there is no partiality. Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly, realizing that you too have a Master in heaven.
Persevere in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving; at the same time, pray for us, too, that God may open a door to us for the word, to speak of the mystery of Christ, for which I am in prison, that I may make it clear, as I must speak. Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you know how you should respond to each one.

          Yesterday I celebrated the Day of Thanksgiving with Holy Mass and prayers and in the evening I had a beautiful turkey dinner. May the Lord bless you all.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “Whatever you do, do from the heart, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have offered yourselves completely to Me. I send special graces to all families that husband and wife may live in love and unity and may you love all your children. May the children obey their parents and I will bless them in a special way.
“Be people of prayer who pray every day and thank Me regularly for all I do for you. I am your friend who suffered and died for you, but now I am risen from the dead and I am always ready to help you. I want you all as members of My Kingdom even while you are here on earth. Ask Me for what you need and I will grant it to you. You are My friends and I love you all.”

Mystical Death and Resurrection

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Colossians (3:1-17):
          If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Think of what is above, not of what is on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory.
Put to death, then, the parts of you that are earthly: immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and the greed that is idolatry. Because of these the wrath of God is coming upon the disobedient. By these you too once conducted yourselves, when you lived in that way.
But now you must put them all away: anger, fury, malice, slander, and obscene language out of your mouths. Stop lying to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed, for knowledge, in the image of its creator. Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all and in all.
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do. And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection. And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

          Today is the big day when Pope Francis will consecrate the whole world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. There will be great changes after the Pope has done this. All will receive very special graces and many gifts. Let us pray for the Pope in thanksgiving.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “Seek what is above every day, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have been baptized, for you have died through baptism and your life is hidden in God.
“Therefore, put to death all that is earthly and sinful such as immorality, impurity, passion, evil desires and idolatry. If you are united with Me then you must stop all anger, fury, malice, slander and obscene language. Remember that I am in you all.
“What sort of life you should lead? You have to be men and women of prayer for you need to be holy and practice the good things I did when I was on earth and these are: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. You must forgive one another. I have forgiven you all your sins so you have to forgive all who have hurt you in any way. In this way peace will take over your heart and you will have to be thankful. So that today you will have many reasons to give thanks to Our Heavenly Father and to Me. I love you and I bless you.”
