The Resurrection of the Body

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians (1 Cor 15:35-49):

          
Someone may say, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come back?”
You fool! What you sow is not brought to life unless it dies. And what you sow is not the body that is to be but a bare kernel of wheat, perhaps, or of some other kind; but God gives it a body as he chooses, and to each of the seeds its own body. Not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for human beings, another kind of flesh for animals, another kind of flesh for birds, and another for fish.
There are both heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the brightness of the heavenly is one kind and that of the earthly another. The brightness of the sun is one kind, the brightness of the moon another, and the brightness of the stars another. For star differs from star in brightness.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown corruptible; it is raised incorruptible. It is sown dishonorable; it is raised glorious. It is sown weak; it is raised powerful. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual one. So, too, it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living being,” the last Adam a life-giving spirit. But the spiritual was not first; rather the natural and then the spiritual. The first man was from the earth, earthly; the second man, from heaven. As was the earthly one, so also are the earthly, and as is the heavenly one, so also are the heavenly. Just as we have borne the image of the earthly one, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly one.

          I celebrated Holy Mass yesterday in honor of Our Blessed Mother, as it was the Feast of Her Assumption. In the evening She came to visit me and She gave me a message. It was a very special message.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “I call you all to believe in the resurrection, especially you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world. You know that I was the first person to come back to life after being in the tomb for three days. My Mother was the second person to go to heaven body and soul. All the dead will be raised on the last day when I return to earth to judge the living and the dead. As Saint Paul teaches you, you live on earth with a natural body and it will be buried when you died. At the resurrection, you will receive a glorified body and so you will never be sick again. You will never die again and you will never be tired, hungry or thirsty. With your glorified body you will be filled with great happiness, joy and love. The bliss of heaven will never end. I call you all to prepare for the day you will enter heaven by following my teachings and by avoiding evil. Live in union with Me. I bless you all.”

The Assumption of Our Blessed Mother

The Assumption of Our Blessed Mother

Dear Friends,
A reading from the Book of Revelation (11:19, 12:1-10a):

          Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant could be seen in the temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder, an earthquake, and a violent hailstorm.
A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth.
Then another sign appeared in the sky; it was a huge red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadems. Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky and hurled them down to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth. She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was caught up to God and his throne. The woman herself fled into the desert where she had a place prepared by God, that there she might be taken care of for twelve hundred and sixty days.
Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back, but they did not prevail and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. The huge dragon, the ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world, was thrown down to earth, and its angels were thrown down with it.
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have salvation and power come, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ.”

          Today is the great Feast of the Assumption of Our Blessed Mother. She is in heaven body and soul. Jesus could not leave Her body in the tomb, as She had never committed any sin. She is now in glory and She is praying for us all here on earth. Let us show our great love for Our Dear Mother.

          Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
          “I am your loving Mother, My dear son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who have a great devotion to Me. Today the Church is celebrating My entrance into heaven with both body and soul. My Son Jesus made sure that I would not leave My body on earth, so I am now in heaven with My glorified body like His. We are the only two who are in heaven with our bodies. You too if you follow My Son Jesus will be heaven at the end of the world with a glorified Body like mine. Remember that I am your Mother and I pray for you every day. I call on you all to accept Me as your Mother and to pray your rosary daily. Follow what the Church of My Son Jesus teaches you and never forget to go to Holy Mass every Sunday. With the graces He gives you may you avoid sin and continuously walk with Him. I love you all with all My Heart and I want you all close to Me and My Son Jesus.”

          Father Melvin
P.S. I wish you all a very special Feast of Our Blessed Mother.

The Gospel Teaching

The Gospel Teaching

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians (1 Cor 15:1-11):

          
Now I am reminding you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you indeed received and in which you also stand. Through it you are also being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures; that he was buried; that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures; that he appeared to Kephas, then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. After that he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
Last of all, as to one born abnormally, he appeared to me. For I am the least of the apostles, not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been ineffective. Indeed, I have toiled harder than all of them; not I, however, but the grace of God that is with me. Therefore, whether it be I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

          Our dear Mother calls for prayers that Her desires will soon be accomplished. We know that She is praying for us every day.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “Believe the words preached to you in My Church, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have accepted Me as your Savior. Saint Paul worked hard to spread the good news of the Gospel in many countries, and many came to believe and to follow Me. You know that I am the Son of God born of Blessed Virgin Mary. I came into the world by taking upon Myself human nature through My Blessed Mother so I could teach you and suffer and die for your salvation. I agreed to suffer and die for you because I love you. You know that I suffered terribly and I died a horrible death nailed to the cross. Yet three days afterwards, I came back from the dead never to die again. After forty days with My Apostles after My resurrection, I ascended into heaven and now I sit at the right hand of My Heavenly Father as the King of the Universe. I have all power to help you and to guide you. So come and believe in Me and I will be your friend on earth and one day welcome you in heaven. I love you all.”
