The Importance of Faith

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Galatians (5:1-12):

          
For freedom Christ set us free; so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.
It is I, Paul, who am telling you that if you have yourselves circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you. Once again I declare to every man who has himself circumcised that he is bound to observe the entire law. You are separated from Christ, you who are trying to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. For through the Spirit, by faith, we await the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.
You were running well; who hindered you from following the truth? That enticement does not come from the one who called you. A little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough. I am confident of you in the Lord that you will not take a different view, and that the one who is troubling you will bear the condemnation, whoever he may be.
As for me, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case, the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished. Would that those who are upsetting you might also castrate themselves!

          I can finally write a new message today after over a week of silence. The problem I had was that my computer gave up and would not act any more. I had an expert who worked and fixed what was wrong and today it is working. How long will it work, that is another problem. I thank the Lord for all those who have sent donations and please note that I still need some more. I just have to change all the tires on my van and to adjust a number of things. It will cost about $800 to have all this done and I need to have it done within one week. I thank you for your great generosity.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words:
          “I want all of you to ask Me daily for an increase of faith, especially you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have faith in Me. You need strong faith that can withstand all kinds of problems. Those who have only a little faith will lose everything when they face a trial. Instead of calling on Me for help, they blame Me for the trouble they have. A woman blamed Me for the death of her son in a car accident. He was a passenger in a car and the driver was drunk. He should never have been at the wheel. He was the cause of the accident and behind him was Satan. How could she blame Me for the death of her son? That is what she did and she stopped going to church for nearly twenty years.
“One day she met a priest and asked him for prayers, because she was sick. He asked her if she was going to church. She said no. He asked her why she had stopped going to church. She told him the reason was that God had killed her son. The priest asked her to explain how her son had died. After explaining to him what had happened, the priest told her that she had blamed the wrong one. She should not have blamed God for killing her son, but she should have blamed the devil. At this she cried and asked pardon for what she had done, and she started going back to church with great faith. I never do anything wrong but I am always there ready to help the person who is going through a hard time. Remain with Me with great faith and you will find the peace and joy you need. I love you all.”

Appeal to Former Loyalty

Appeal to Former Loyalty

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Galatians (4:12-22):

          
I implore you, brothers, be as I am, because I have also become as you are. You did me no wrong; you know that it was because of a physical illness that I originally preached the gospel to you, and you did not show disdain or contempt because of the trial caused you by my physical condition, but rather you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus. Where now is that blessedness of yours? Indeed, I can testify to you that, if it had been possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me. So now have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
They show interest in you, but not in a good way; they want to isolate you, so that you may show interest in them. Now it is good to be shown interest for good reason at all times, and not only when I am with you. My children, for whom I am again in labor until Christ be formed in you! I would like to be with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed because of you.
Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not listen to the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the freeborn woman.

          Today is the day that the Church celebrates the nativity of Our Blessed Mother as the child of Saint Anne and Saint Joachim. Our Blessed Mother is the greatest human being to be born in this world. She was full of grace from her conception and She never sinned while on earth. She gave me September 8th as the Feast day of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island, the Mother of Life. Today I will celebrate this great day.

          Below you will find the message of our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
          “Always accept Me as your Mother, My dear son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who have such a great love for Me. My parents always wanted to have children, but for many years God did not bless them with any. My father, Joachim, decided to go into the Judean Desert to pray and to ask God to give them a child. He stayed in a cave and one day an angel appeared to him and told him that by next year his wife would have a child. He went home very happy and indeed about a year later, I was born to the joy of My parents.
“I am the only human being who was born without original sin, as I had already been chosen as the Mother of God the Savior. My youth was spent in prayer to our Heavenly Father and I offered Myself totally to Him to do whatever He asked of Me. When the Angel Gabriel came to announce to Me that I would be the Mother of God, I did not refuse but I accepted with all My heart this wonderful gift I was given. I knew I would suffer at times, but many people had been waiting for the coming of the Savior of the world. I was chosen as His Mother to bring Him into the world. He is the one who named Me Mother of you all. I am happy to be Your Heavenly Mother who prays and works for you at all times. I bless you all.”

God’s Free Children in Christ

God’s Free Children in Christ

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Galatians (4:1-11):

          
I mean that as long as the heir is not of age, he is no different from a slave, although he is the owner of everything, but he is under the supervision of guardians and administrators until the date set by his father. In the same way we also, when we were not of age, were enslaved to the elemental powers of the world. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to ransom those under the law, so that we might receive adoption. As proof that you are children, God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God.
At a time when you did not know God, you became slaves to things that by nature are not gods; but now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and destitute elemental powers? Do you want to be slaves to them all over again? You are observing days, months, seasons, and years. I am afraid on your account that perhaps I have labored for you in vain.

          Tomorrow the Church will celebrate the birthday of Our Dearest Mother Mary. Where was She born? Some say She was born in Jerusalem just across the street from the Great Temple. What a day for the world that St. Anne, Her mother, gave birth to the holiest woman ever to come into the world.

          Below you will find the message of Our Dear Mother Mary given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
          “I love you My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who acknowledge Me as their Mother in heaven. I am the One who said ‘Yes’ to the Angel Gabriel when he asked Me if I accepted to be the Mother of Jesus, the Son of God. It was My joy to give birth to the Savior of the people of the world. Through the miracle of Jesus’ conception, I carried Him in My womb for nine months and it was at Bethlehem, the town where King David was born, that Jesus was also born. You know that He is known as the Son of David. Jesus came to ransom all the people who were in slavery due to sin. Through His death on the cross He atoned for all your sins and opened the gates of heaven for all who believe in Him. I was present at the foot of His cross and I underwent much suffering to see My Son dying in such torments. All who believe in Him have received adoption as children of God. Come join the Kingdom of God, which was started by My Son Jesus. You join in this world through Baptism and your membership will be perfected in heaven one day. Come to Me, My children, and I will bring you to My Son and He will give you all the graces and gifts that you need. I bless you all.”

          Father Melvin

P.S. Pope Francis has called us all to join him today by fasting and praying so that peace may reign in Syria and in all countries where there are conflicts.
