The Church as Christ’s Body

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians (1:15-23):

          
Therefore, I, too, hearing of your faith in the Lord Jesus and of your love for all the holy ones, do not cease giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him. May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of his power for us who believe, in accord with the exercise of his great might, which he worked in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens, far above every principality, authority, power, and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things beneath his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way.

          I call upon all of you to pray for the intentions of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island. Let us pray that what She asked will come to pass very soon.

          Below you will find the message of Our Dear Mother Mary given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
          “I am the Mother of the Church, My dear son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who are part of the Church of My Son Jesus. Your Savior is the one who founded the Church on the twelve Apostles. The Church is also known as Christ’s Body and all members of the Church are part of His Body. As Mother of the Church, I pray that all the people of the world will become full members of My Son’s Church and that the Church will lead them on the way to heaven. I am the Mother of each member of the Church and I love you all as My children. The Church was founded at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came upon all those gathered in the Upper Room in Jerusalem. The twelve Apostles were present there and they were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to preach to the people outside. That day about three thousand people were baptized and became full members of the Church. Pray My sons and daughters for the Church every day that She may go forward all the time. I bless you all.”

The Father’s Plan of Salvation

The Father’s Plan of Salvation

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians (1:3-14):

          
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before him. In love he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, in accord with the favor of his will, for the praise of the glory of his grace that he granted us in the beloved.
In him we have redemption by his blood, the forgiveness of transgressions, in accord with the riches of his grace that he lavished upon us. In all wisdom and insight, he has made known to us the mystery of his will in accord with his favor that he set forth in him as a plan for the fullness of times, to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth.
In him we were also chosen, destined in accord with the purpose of the one who accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will, so that we might exist for the praise of his glory, we who first hoped in Christ.
In him you also, who have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him, were sealed with the promised holy Spirit, which is the first installment of our inheritance toward redemption as God’s possession, to the praise of his glory.

          I thank the Lord that I got a new computer today. It is a gift from a wonderful friend of mine. I thank the Lord for all that he has done for me.

          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 the sons and daughters of the Father through Me, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have accepted Me as your Savior. As sons and daughters of the Father, you have received great graces from Him for He loves you as His close family. This came about because I have redeemed you by My blood as I hanged on the cross. Accept God the Father as your true Father and love Him with all your heart. As I am the Son of the Father, you are My brothers and sisters and this you have inherited through the Holy Spirit. It is through the Holy Spirit that you receive the promise of inheritance if you follow what I have taught you when I was on earth. Come My friends and remain with Me, and the Father will bless you and the Holy Spirit will lead you. I am your friend who loves you and who gives you all that you need.”

Final Appeal by Saint Paul

Final Appeal by Saint Paul

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Galatians (6:11-18):

          
See with what large letters I am writing to you in my own hand! It is those who want to make a good appearance in the flesh who are trying to compel you to have yourselves circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. Not even those having themselves circumcised observe the law themselves; they only want you to be circumcised so that they may boast of your flesh. But may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For neither does circumcision mean anything, nor does uncircumcision, but only a new creation. Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule and to the Israel of God.
From now on, let no one make troubles for me; for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

          I went yesterday afternoon to the garage to change the four tires of my vehicle, had ball joints changed and at the end the mechanics did the alignment of my car. Now it is working very well. All this costs me $830.00. So I do not have much money left. We had another beautiful day yesterday with plenty of sun and little wind.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “May My cross, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters, be the great sign that I am your Savior. Boast of My cross to every person for it is the sign of My great love for you, for I gave My life for your salvation. I want every home of My followers to have a cross hanging in the main room, and how I wish that every Catholic would wear the cross around the neck. You know that every Catholic Church has a cross standing at the top of the church outside. I also have told you before to have a cross on the lawn in front of your house. It is a sign to all those passing by that you believe in Me and that you love Me. Come My dear friends and follow Me and you will be members of My great family. I love you all.”

          Father Melvin
