Wives and Husbands

Wives and Husbands

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians (5:21-33):

          
Be subordinate to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Wives should be subordinate to their husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is head of his wife just as Christ is head of the church, he himself the savior of the body. As the church is subordinate to Christ, so wives should be subordinate to their husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved the church and handed himself over for her to sanctify her, cleansing her by the bath of water with the word, that he might present to himself the church in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. So also husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one hates his own flesh but rather nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body.
“For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak in reference to Christ and the church. In any case, each one of you should love his wife as himself, and the wife should respect her husband.

          We had another beautiful day yesterday with the shining sun without any clouds. It was 20 degrees again yesterday.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words:
          “Love one another My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who wish to follow Me. There is a lot of trouble in families these days. The first thing that all should know is that men and women are equal before God. However, in marriage the wife should accept the last word of her husband and she should not go somewhere or do anything major without speaking to her husband. The husband has to love his wife with all his heart and the wife too has to love her husband with all her heart. You know how I love the Church and that I gave my life for My Church. This is the example that married couples should follow.
“Our heavenly Father gave a special message to couples. He said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’ Follow these words and you will be blessed. Do not forget that all those who wish to marry must receive the Sacrament of Marriage and so they have to pronounce their vows before God. He is the one who gives them permission to leave as husband and wife. I love you all.”

          Father Melvin

Duty to live in the Light

Duty to live in the Light

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians (5:1-14):

          
So be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as Christ loved us and handed himself over for us as a sacrificial offering to God for a fragrant aroma.
Immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be mentioned among you, as is fitting among holy ones, no obscenity or silly or suggestive talk, which is out of place, but instead, thanksgiving. Be sure of this, that no immoral or impure or greedy person, that is, an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the disobedient. So do not be associated with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light, for light produces every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth. Try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the fruitless works of darkness; rather expose them, for it is shameful even to mention the things done by them in secret; but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that becomes visible is light. Therefore, it says:
“Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.”

          What a beautiful day we had yesterday! It was sunny the whole day and the temperature came up to 20 degrees Celsius. I thank the Lord for this beautiful weather.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words:
          “Live in My light, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who believe in Me. Live, My friends, in My love and be children of Our Heavenly Father. There are too many these days who live in immorality and they follow the way of impurity. These are the ways of the evil one and none of My friends are to follow those ways. Be moral people who follow the commandments of God and live according to my commandment: ‘Love one another as I have loved you.’ If you follow Me you will live in the light and never return to darkness. Come, My dear friends, and produce goodness and learn to please God in everything.
“I call you all to wake up and come and live with Me, and you will have peace and joy. I love you all.”

Rules for the New Life

Rules for the New Life

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians (4:25-32):

          Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun set on your anger, and do not leave room for the devil. The thief must no longer steal, but rather labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with one in need. No foul language should come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for needed edification, that it may impart grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were sealed for the day of redemption. All bitterness, fury, anger, shouting, and reviling must be removed from you, along with all malice. And be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ.

————————————————-

          How wonderful it was yesterday to see the sun again. It was warmer but there was wind. It is sunny again today.

          Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother giver to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
          “Be filled with New Life, My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who believe in My Son Jesus. This new life must show itself by having a spiritual life, by the way you speak and by the work you do. To live a spiritual life, you have to pray regularly every day and you have to go to Holy Mass every Sunday and receive Holy Communion if you have repented of your sins. As part of your spiritual life, you should pray your rosary every day. You need to have a great devotion to My Son Jesus and to Me, your Mother. You should speak with soft words without ever uttering falsehood or angry words, and there should be no shouting or bitterness and speaking bad about people. Let your words be full of love for the persons with which you are speaking and show them your love for your Savior and for Me. You must do honest work. All should work to get what you need such as food, clothing, a house and to take care of your family and help the poor.
“I call you all to be kind to one another and to forgive those who have hurt you in any way. I love you and I bless you.”

          Father Melvin
