Commission to Preach God’s Plan

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians (3:1-13):

          
Because of this, I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles – if, as I suppose, you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for your benefit, namely, that the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly earlier. When you read this you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to human beings in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit, that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
Of this I became a minister by the gift of God’s grace that was granted me in accord with the exercise of his power. To me, the very least of all the holy ones, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the inscrutable riches of Christ, and to bring to light for all what is the plan of the mystery hidden from ages past in God who created all things, so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the principalities and authorities in the heavens. This was according to the eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness of speech and confidence of access through faith in him. So I ask you not to lose heart over my afflictions for you; this is your glory.

          We had a cloudy day yesterday and it rained at times. This will continue today and for another day. I thank the few who have sent a donation to help Our Lady of Prince Edward Island.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “Open your hearts to accept My grace, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have offered yourselves totally to Me. Through My suffering, I won all the graces you need to live according to My teachings. Without My help you cannot succeed. This is why today there are so many who are depressed, others who commit suicide and still others who over drink and are on drugs. These things will not help you but make you even worst. All are called to come to Me and to find the joy and the peace and love that you need. I am there to help you.
“See how I changed Saint Paul from being a murderer to a man full of faith whom I sent out to preach the gospel. He suffered very much at the hands of non-believers and was a prisoner in Rome for a long time until he was martyred. Follow Me My friends, and I will bless you every day.”

One in Christ

One in Christ

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians (2:11-22):

          
Remember that at one time you, Gentiles in the flesh, called the uncircumcision by those called the circumcision, which is done in the flesh by human hands, were at that time without Christ, alienated from the community of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have become near by the blood of Christ.
For he is our peace, he who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of enmity, through his flesh, abolishing the law with its commandments and legal claims, that he might create in himself one new person in place of the two, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile both with God, in one body, through the cross, putting that enmity to death by it. He came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near, for through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone. Through him the whole structure is held together and grows into a temple sacred in the Lord; in him you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

          Although it was sunny yesterday, we had rain last evening and it will continue for some days. We had a beautiful week last week. Thank you for all your prayers for the intentions of Our Blessed Mother.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “You are all one in Me My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters, as you have become near to Me by the shedding of My blood. I do not want to have Jews and Gentiles but just one people who honor Me and follow Me. Today there are many people in every country of the world who believe in Me and so they are one big family, My family. So those who are united with Me are no longer strangers but you are fellow members of the Kingdom of God, which I founded when I was in the world. My household is My Church founded on the Apostles and this Church is sacred to Me. So be faithful and strong members of My Church and obey My teachings, and one day you will be in My Kingdom which will be perfected in heaven. I call you all close to Me and I bless you.”

Generosity of God’s Plan

Generosity of God’s Plan

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians (2:1-10):

          
You were dead in your transgressions and sins in which you once lived following the age of this world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the disobedient. All of us once lived among them in the desires of our flesh, following the wishes of the flesh and the impulses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, brought us to life with Christ (by grace you have been saved), raised us up with him, and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so no one may boast. For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance, that we should live in them.

          We are now in the Fall Season, although it is not cold here in Prince Edward Island yet. However, in October it will dip to zero Celsius, especially during the night. I will soon start heating my house.

               Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words:
               “I am full of mercy for you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who are sorry for all your sins. Every person living in the world is a sinner. That is why I came on earth as a human being to take upon Myself all your sins and to atone for them. I did this through My great sacrifice on the cross. It was through the shedding of My blood and by dying in great pain that I paid the price for your sins. I underwent all this horrible suffering out of love for each one of you. I love you all as My brothers and sisters and I want you with Me in heaven forever. Do not follow anymore the wishes of the flesh, but live in the spirit and open your heart to receive the Holy Spirit, who will give you all the strength and power you need to follow Me. I have won for you great graces, which you need to order to follow Me. Ask for these graces every day and they will be given to you. I love you all and I bless you.”

          Father Melvin
