God’s Indescribable Gift

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians (2 Cor 9:1-15):
          Now about the service to the holy ones, it is superfluous for me to write to you, for I know your eagerness, about which I boast of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia has been ready since last year; and your zeal has stirred up most of them. Nonetheless, I sent the brothers so that our boast about you might not prove empty in this case, so that you might be ready, as I said, for fear that if any Macedonians come with me and find you not ready we might be put to shame (to say nothing of you) in this conviction. So I thought it necessary to encourage the brothers to go on ahead to you and arrange in advance for your promised gift, so that in this way it might be ready as a bountiful gift and not as an exaction.
Consider this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each must do as already determined, without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. Moreover, God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all things, always having all you need, you may have an abundance for every good work. As it is written: “He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.”
The one who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
You are being enriched in every way for all generosity, which through us produces thanksgiving to God, for the administration of this public service is not only supplying the needs of the holy ones but is also overflowing in many acts of thanksgiving to God. Through the evidence of this service, you are glorifying God for your obedient confession of the gospel of Christ and the generosity of your contribution to them and to all others, while in prayer on your behalf they long for you, because of the surpassing grace of God upon you. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

          I thank the Lord that I am back and it is sunny here in the Tignish area of Prince Edward Island. I thank the Lord for all those who prayed for me.

Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
          “I bless you My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who love Me with all their heart. I love you all and I am praying for you all. Everyone who gives a gift for a good reason will be blessed indeed. I asked My son Melvin to build My Shrine in Prince Edward Island. So anyone who wishes to contribute to the building will receive special graces through Me. There is already a beautiful chapel, which I love to call My Little Shrine, built in Palmer Road. I asked Father Melvin to build this chapel so that people could come to pray and to be with Me. I am always there present in the chapel where I appear to My son Melvin and I have appeared to others too. Many pictures of My Son Jesus and of Myself have appeared on the wall of the chapel. Nobody painted them; they just appeared as a sign that this is a holy place. Come and pray in My little home and you will be blessed. I love you all.”

Generosity in Giving

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians (2 Cor 8:1-15):
          We want you to know, brothers, of the grace of God that has been given to the churches of Macedonia, for in a severe test of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their profound poverty overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. For according to their means, I can testify, and beyond their means, spontaneously, they begged us insistently for the favor of taking part in the service to the holy ones, and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and to us through the will of God, so that we urged Titus that, as he had already begun, he should also complete for you this gracious act also. Now as you excel in every respect, in faith, discourse, knowledge, all earnestness, and in the love we have for you, may you excel in this gracious act also.
I say this not by way of command, but to test the genuineness of your love by your concern for others. For you know the gracious act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sake he became poor although he was rich, so that by his poverty you might become rich.
And I am giving counsel in this matter, for it is appropriate for you who began not only to act but to act willingly last year: complete it now, so that your eager willingness may be matched by your completion of it out of what you have. For if the eagerness is there, it is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have; not that others should have relief while you are burdened, but that as a matter of equality your surplus at the present time should supply their needs, so that their surplus may also supply your needs, that there may be equality. As it is written: “Whoever had much did not have more, and whoever had little did not have less.”

          Some thought we would have a rainy day yesterday, but it was sunny the whole afternoon. I thank the Lord for the nice days.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “Open your heart to help the poor, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who wish to follow Me. If you have a surplus this year, go and help the poor that live in your town or village. There are poor people everywhere. Some have no place to sleep at night and others have nothing to eat. If you help this poor people, you are helping Me because I have identified Myself with every poor person living in the world. Those who throw away the poor, they should know that they are throwing Me away for I am the one at your door dressed in rags. You too one day will be poor and in need of help, then those who have more will come and help you and you will be very thankful. Follow My teachings, My friends, and you will be blessed. I love you all.”

The Experience of the Ministry

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians (2 Cor 6:1-13):
          Working together, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For he says: “In an acceptable time I heard you, and on the day of salvation I helped you.”
Behold, now is a very acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. We cause no one to stumble in anything, in order that no fault may be found with our ministry; on the contrary, in everything we commend ourselves as ministers of God, through much endurance, in afflictions, hardships, constraints, beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, vigils, fasts; by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, in a holy spirit, in unfeigned love, in truthful speech, in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness at the right and at the left; through glory and dishonor, insult and praise. We are treated as deceivers and yet are truthful; as unrecognized and yet acknowledged; as dying and behold we live; as chastised and yet not put to death; as sorrowful yet always rejoicing; as poor yet enriching many; as having nothing and yet possessing all things.
We have spoken frankly to you, Corinthians; our heart is open wide. You are not constrained by us; you are constrained by your own affections. As recompense in kind (I speak as to my children), be open yourselves.

          I hope to give a three-day retreat at Saint Agapit, about 40 kms from the city of Quebec on September 20, 21 and 22. I will also have a Healing Service on Saturday evening on September 21. It will be in French and I hope many people of Quebec will be present.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “Come follow Me My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have given their lives to Me and you will have times of joy and peace but you will also suffer at times. If you are in union with Me, I will be there to help you to overcome any problems you might have. Every person has periods of sickness during his or her life but I will strengthen you so that you go through this period and get better. At times some people will dishonor you and even insult you, but do not worry because they did the same to Me. Some might bring you to court and you might have to spend time in jail but stay close to Me and I will not leave you alone. You might have trouble on the road when your car breaks down or you might get stuck in the snow in the winter. I will not leave you alone but I will make sure that you get someone to help you. I love to take care of those who are My close friends. You will have wonderful days of joy and I will fill you with love and peace. I love you all.”
