Paradox of the Cross

Dear Friends,
A reading from St. Paul’s Letter to the Corinthians (1:18-25):
The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the learning of the learned I will set aside.”
Where is the wise one? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made the wisdom of the world foolish? For since in the wisdom of God the world did not come to know God through wisdom, it was the will of God through the foolishness of the proclamation to save those who have faith. For Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those who are called, Jews and Greeks alike, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

          We had a beautiful day yesterday although there was some wind. I finished the retreat yesterday at noon and we went around the western part of the Island visiting beautiful places.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“The sign of your salvation is the cross, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who accept Me as your Savior. The cross is very important for My Church. There is always a cross on top of every Catholic Church as a sign to each Christian, and you will find many crosses inside each church. It is on the cross that I offered My sacrifice to the Father to atone for your sins and to open heaven for you. Each Catholic should have a crucifix in his or her home and I would like that each Catholic home would have a cross in front of the house. This would be a sign to every person going by that people who believe in Me live in that house. Do not be afraid to have this cross in front of your house, for it will be a blessing to every person going by. You are all to love My cross as the symbol of My love for you. I bless you all.”

Paul’s Plans

Dear Friends,
A reading from St. Paul’s Letter to the Romans (15:22-33):
That is why I have so often been prevented from coming to you. But now, since I no longer have any opportunity in these regions and since I have desired to come to you for many years, I hope to see you in passing as I go to Spain and to be sent on my way there by you, after I have enjoyed being with you for a time. Now, however, I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the holy ones. For Macedonia and Achaia have decided to make some contribution for the poor among the holy ones in Jerusalem; they decided to do it, and in fact they are indebted to them, for if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to serve them in material blessings. So when I have completed this and safely handed over this contribution to them, I shall set out by way of you to Spain; and I know that in coming to you I shall come in the fullness of Christ’s blessing.
I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in the struggle by your prayers to God on my behalf, that I may be delivered from the disobedient in Judea, and that my ministry for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the holy ones, so that I may come to you with joy by the will of God and be refreshed together with you. The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.

          We had a very hot day yesterday, but it clouded up in the evening and we got some rain. Today it is sunny and we should have a beautiful warm day again.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“On this day of My resurrection, I bless you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who rejoice that I am risen from the dead. After three days in the tomb, I came back to life and it was on Sunday morning, which is now the Day of the Lord, that all Christians go to church.
“Saint Paul loved to travel and in this reading he is preparing to go to Rome to visit the Christians there. It is in Rome that he was martyred and he is buried there. He worked very well in spreading My Church in many parts of the world. He was not afraid to ask the Christians to pray for him. You too, My friends, you must pray for the missionaries in all the countries of the world who are doing what Saint Paul did. Pray that there may be many more missionaries to spread the Good News throughout the world. I bless you all.”

Mary at the Cross of Her Son

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint John’s Gospel (19:25-27):
Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

          I started the retreat yesterday afternoon and a small group was present. I will continue this morning and I will have a Healing Service this evening. The retreat will end on Sunday. I expect some more people will come today. It was raining yesterday but it will be sunny today.

          Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
“I call you all to love My Son Jesus, especially you My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who accept Jesus as their Savior. I followed Him especially during His passion and His death on the cross. He suffered horribly in order to atone for all your sins and to open heaven for you. I suffered together with Him just seeing Him in such pain. On the Way of the Cross He fell many times, as He was very tired and had been beaten terribly. The soldiers placed a crown of thorns on His head and the blood just flowed down His face. Veronica is the one who went up to My Son Jesus as He was carrying the cross and she wiped His face from all this blood. Before He died on the cross, He spoke to Me from the cross saying, ‘Behold your son.’ He also spoke to the Apostle Saint John and said these words, ‘Behold, your mother.’At that very moment I became the mother of you all. If you accept Jesus as your Savior, then you accept Me as your Mother. I am praying for all of you, My children, and I want you all to open your heart to My Son Jesus and to do all that He tells you. Read what He told you in the Bible, especially in the four Gospels. I love you all and I want you all with Me in heaven one day. I love you all.”
