Unity and Variety

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians (1 Cor 12:1-11):
          Now in regard to spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be unaware. You know how, when you were pagans, you were constantly attracted and led away to mute idols. Therefore, I tell you that nobody speaking by the spirit of God says, “Jesus be accursed.” And no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit. To one is given through the Spirit the expression of wisdom; to another the expression of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit; to another mighty deeds; to another prophecy; to another discernment of spirits; to another varieties of tongues; to another interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing them individually to each person as he wishes.

          There was much rain in many parts of the Island yesterday, but very little rain fell where I live. It rained for a few minutes last evening and there was no thunder.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “You have been baptized and confirmed and so you have received the Holy Spirit, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who follow My Church. Perhaps some have prayed over you for the baptism of the Spirit and you felt filled totally with the Holy Spirit. By doing this, you have received many spiritual gifts that were dormant in you. You have all received the Holy Spirit through the sacraments, but the gifts can be dormant until they are revived. Through the charismatic movement, the gifts can be revived and then you can use them to help others. Most receive the gift of speaking in tongues and praying in tongues. Others receive the gift of healing from the Holy Spirit and you know if you have that gift when a person has been healed after you prayed over him or her. There are many wonderful gifts of the Holy Spirit and you should keep your heart opened to receive whatever the Holy Spirit wants to give you. I am working with the Holy Spirit and I love you.”

The Lord’s Supper

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians (1 Cor 11:17-27):
          In giving this instruction, I do not praise the fact that your meetings are doing more harm than good. First of all, I hear that when you meet as a church there are divisions among you, and to a degree I believe it; there have to be factions among you in order that also those who are approved among you may become known. When you meet in one place, then, it is not to eat the Lord’s supper, for in eating, each one goes ahead with his own supper, and one goes hungry while another gets drunk. Do you not have houses in which you can eat and drink? Or do you show contempt for the church of God and make those who have nothing feel ashamed? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this matter I do not praise you.
For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.
Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord.

          I thank the Lord for the beautiful days we have had during the past week. Yesterday it was sunny and warm, especially in the afternoon.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “Believe in My Holy Eucharist, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world. I instituted the Holy Eucharist on Good Thursday, the day before I died. I was with the Apostles in the Upper Room in Jerusalem when I ate the Last Supper with them, and during this meal I took bread and blessed it and said these words, ‘This is My Body.’ Then at the end of the meal I took a cup of wine blessed it and said, ‘This is the cup of My Blood, the Blood of the new and eternal covenant, which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in remembrance of Me.’
“All are called to believe that I am truly present in the host and in the chalice as I am living now in heaven. Only those who have no mortal sins can come and receive Me in the Eucharist. I wish to come and live in your heart if you have prepared your heart for Me. Come as often as possible to receive Me during the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. I love you and I want to live close to you in your heart.”

Seek the Good of Others

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians (1 Cor 10:23-33):
          “Everything is lawful,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is lawful,” but not everything builds up. No one should seek his own advantage, but that of his neighbor. Eat anything sold in the market, without raising questions on grounds of conscience, for “the earth and its fullness are the Lord’s.” If an unbeliever invites you and you want to go, eat whatever is placed before you, without raising questions on grounds of conscience. But if someone says to you, “This was offered in sacrifice,” do not eat it on account of the one who called attention to it and on account of conscience; I mean not your own conscience, but the other’s. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience? If I partake thankfully, why am I reviled for that over which I give thanks?
So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. Avoid giving offense, whether to Jews or Greeks or the church of God, just as I try to please everyone in every way, not seeking my own benefit but that of the many, that they may be saved.

          I had visitors yesterday from Cape Breton Island and others from the Gaspe Region. They were very nice people and they invited me to a great lunch with them.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
          “Love all your neighbors and friends My dear brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who offered themselves totally to Me and to follow Me. Do everything for the glory of Our Heavenly Father and do not offend any person, whether they believe or do not believe. Do not be afraid to show that you are a believer and that you want to follow Me every day of your life. Accept any invitation that comes from your relatives, friends or neighbour to come and eat and eat everything they give you.
“It is true that because of money, the government does not tell you the danger there is in eating some things. I wish to tell you that it is dangerous to eat potatoes because it could cause you cancer. The farmers spray all kinds of poison on the potatoes plants and this enters the potato, and those who eat it will get cancer and die. I would like you to have you own potato garden so that you can eat these potatoes that are not sprayed with poison. I bless you all and I want you all to walk with Me.”
