Integrity in the Ministry

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians (2 Cor 4:1-6):
          Since we have this ministry through the mercy shown us, we are not discouraged. Rather, we have renounced shameful, hidden things; not acting deceitfully or falsifying the word of God, but by the open declaration of the truth we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. And even though our gospel is veiled, it is veiled for those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that they may not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for the sake of Jesus. For God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to bring to light the knowledge of the glory of God on the face of Jesus Christ.

          I wish to thank again all those who have sent donations for the upkeep of the chapel and to pay the bills that come in every month. We still need help these days and please pray that Our Lady of Prince Edward Island will soon receive what She needs. May the Lord bless you all. Today we celebrate the Queenship of Our Blessed Mother. Let us have special devotion to Her today.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “Every person who believes in Me receives a special call, as you know My brother Melvin, and I call you all My brothers and sisters who have accepted Me as Your Savior. Some men are called to be priests, deacons or religious brothers. Others are called to the married life and to those who are called they will raise children to come and know Me. Some women are called to the religious life to work for the church and for the Christians. Some are teachers, other nurses and others still are working in parishes. There are some religious both men and women who are contemplatives, who live in monasteries and spend their lives in prayer and they do some work in order to have something to eat and a place to stay.
“Right at the beginning, I chose 12 Apostles and I sent them out to preach the gospel to all the people they would meet. The last of the Apostles was Saint Paul who worked very hard to preach the Good News to people in many countries. All the Apostles, except Saint John, are martyrs. They gave their lives to death in imitation of Me. They are your great intercessors in heaven today. Come then, whether you are priests, religious and lay people, and imitate Me in following all I have preached to you. I bless you all.”

Contrast with the Old Testament

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians (2 Cor 3 :7-18):
          Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, was so glorious that the Israelites could not look intently at the face of Moses because of its glory that was going to fade, how much more will the ministry of the Spirit be glorious? For if the ministry of condemnation was glorious, the ministry of righteousness will abound much more in glory. Indeed, what was endowed with glory has come to have no glory in this respect because of the glory that surpasses it. For if what was going to fade was glorious, how much more will what endures be glorious.
Therefore, since we have such hope, we act very boldly and not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the Israelites could not look intently at the cessation of what was fading. Rather, their thoughts were rendered dull, for to this present day the same veil remains unlifted when they read the old covenant, because through Christ it is taken away. To this day, in fact, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their hearts, but whenever a person turns to the Lord the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. All of us, gazing with unveiled face on the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as from the Lord who is the Spirit.

          We had a mostly cloudy day yesterday but we did not have any rain. It was above 20 degrees Celsius the whole day.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “You should be thankful that now you live in the time of the New Testament, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who believe in Me today. The Old Testament was only a preparation for the New Testament. They Jews were told that one day the Messiah would come and they had to pray for His coming. Those who followed the Old Testament were the Israelites and only these people. The people living in other countries had never heard of the Old Testament, but when I came I told the Apostles that the New Testament was for all the people of the world. The Old Testament was built on the Law of God, but the New Testament was built on love of God and love of neighbor.
“I came as your Lord and Savior to bring you out of darkness into the light and to take away your sins and to give you the graces and strength to follow Me every day and to avoid evil. All what was said in the Old Testament was fulfilled in the New Testament. So you are all called to believe in Me and to follow Me and you will be in the New Testament, which I brought to you. In the New Testament what is important is the person that brought you this new life. I am the person who inaugurated the New Testament and I am the person who works with you to follow Me and one day to bring you to your heavenly home. I bless you all.”

Ministers of a New Covenant

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians (2 Cor 2:14-17):
          Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ and manifests through us the odor of the knowledge of him in every place. For we are the aroma of Christ for God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to the latter an odor of death that leads to death, to the former an odor of life that leads to life. Who is qualified for this? For we are not like the many who trade on the word of God; but as out of sincerity, indeed as from God and in the presence of God, we speak in Christ.

          Yesterday afternoon we had a shower but it did not last long. It was sunny the whole morning and most of the afternoon. It was warm too.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “Be sincere, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who acknowledge Me as the Savior of the world. I came to preach the truth to the people and I want you all to teach the truth that I have brought to you. In order to know the truth you need to read the Bible and to be instructed by a priest or by one who has made studies in theology. There are a number of doctrines that you must know and follow every day. I preached the doctrine, which My Church teaches all over the world. I taught that there are three persons in the One God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I am the Son of God who came down on earth to atone for your sins and to open heaven for you who believe in Me.
“I taught you about the Holy Eucharist and it is important that you believe the truth of this great sacrament. After the bread and wine have been consecrated, the bread and wine are changed into My body and blood. I am alive in the Eucharist as I live in heaven now. When you receive the Eucharist, you receive Me under the species of bread and if you take the chalice, you receive Me under the species of wine. I gave you seven sacraments and it is necessary that you know well all these sacraments and that you receive those you are allowed to receive. The great sacrament of reconciliation or penance shows my great mercy as I take away all your sins if you are sorry for them, and you receive special graces to help you avoid sin in the future. You are called to receive this sacrament of mercy about once a month. There are still many doctrines, which I did not mention, but there are books that explain them all. Come My friends and live in the truth. I bless you all.”
