Faith, Hope and Love

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Romans (5:1-11):
          Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope, and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us.
For Christ, while we were still helpless, yet died at the appointed time for the ungodly. Indeed, only with difficulty does one die for a just person, though perhaps for a good person one might even find courage to die. But God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. How much more then, since we are now justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath. Indeed, if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, once reconciled, will we be saved by his life. Not only that, but we also boast of God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

          Summer is now with us and here yesterday we had a beautiful summer day, with the temperature over 20 degrees Celsius. Again I wish to thank all those who sent me donations. May the Lord bless you and may Our Blessed Mother protect you all.

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 scattered all over the world. I am praying for all of you that your faith may be strong and that My Son Jesus fills you with His peace, hope and love. I love Saint Paul’s beautiful inspired words in the letter to the Romans where he wrote about the importance of faith. If you have faith, indeed you will have peace in your heart. With peace, then love will come too. It is so important to have this great loving relationship with My Son Jesus and also with Me. It does not mean that you will not have any sufferings at times. My Son told you that you will all have a cross to carry. The cross refers to all the sickness, the afflictions you come across and the hatred which some people have against you. Do not worry about that, since My Son Jesus suffered much too because of the hatred the people had against Him. Whenever you are suffering, go to the cross of My son and see what He suffered for you. He never did anything wrong but He took all your sins upon Himself and mounted the cross to suffer horribly and to die for your salvation. I was there at the cross that day and I suffered very much seeing Him in such pain. He is now risen from the dead and He is your Lord and Savior. I love you all and I call you all to come to Me, and I will bring you to My Son Jesus. I am your Mother who cares for you.”

Father Melvin
P.S. Today is my big day! I was ordained a priest 45 years ago today. Please pray for me. Thank you very much.

Abraham Justified by Faith

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Romans (4:1-12):
          What then can we say that Abraham found, our ancestor according to the flesh? Indeed, if Abraham was justified on the basis of his works, he has reason to boast; but this was not so in the sight of God. For what does the scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” A worker’s wage is credited not as a gift, but as something due. But when one does not work, yet believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness. So also David declares the blessedness of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not record.”
Does this blessedness apply only to the circumcised, or to the uncircumcised as well? Now we assert that “faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.” Under what circumstances was it credited? Was he circumcised or not? He was not circumcised, but uncircumcised. And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal on the righteousness received through faith while he was uncircumcised. Thus he was to be the father of all the uncircumcised who believe, so that to them also righteousness might be credited, as well as the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised, but also follow the path of faith that our father Abraham walked while still uncircumcised.

          Praise the Lord for the beautiful day we had yesterday. It went pass the 20 degrees Celsius and many people were sitting outside admiring the beautiful weather.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“It is extremely important to believe in Me, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who live in the world today. Abraham was justified by faith. Because of his faith, he became a friend of God the Father and he was freed of all his sins. Because of his faith, God the Father walked with him and gave him many gifts and graces. He was justified before he was circumcised, which shows that it is not necessary to be circumcised in order to be justified by the Father. What is most important is to have faith and to believe with all your heart.
“If you do not have faith in Me, your Savior, you cannot be saved. You will never enter heaven unless you believe in Me. I am ready to give you all the gift of faith if you open your heart to Me. You who believe in Me, it is very important that you pray for those who do not believe that they will accept the gift of faith I desire to give them. Pray for these people every day. I bless you all.”

Justification through Faith in Christ

Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Romans (3:21-31):
          But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, though testified to by the law and the prophets, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction; all have sinned and are deprived of the glory of God. They are justified freely by his grace through the redemption in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as an expiation, through faith, by his blood, to prove his righteousness because of the forgiveness of sins previously committed, through the forbearance of God – to prove his righteousness in the present time, that he might be righteous and justify the one who has faith in Jesus.
What occasion is there then for boasting? It is ruled out. On what principle, that of works? No, rather on the principle of faith. For we consider that a person is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Does God belong to Jews alone? Does he not belong to Gentiles, too? Yes, also to Gentiles, for God is one and will justify the circumcised on the basis of faith and the uncircumcised through faith. Are we then annulling the law by this faith? Of course not! On the contrary, we are supporting the law.

          What a beautiful day we had yesterday, and it will be very nice for the next week. The temperature will be above 20 degrees Celsius and plenty of sun.

Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I am ready to forgive you your sins, My son Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have accepted Me as your Redeemer. As you read a person cannot be saved by the Law or by works. You need faith to acquire salvation but once you believe, then follow the commandments and do good works and you will be blessed. If a person says that he or she believes and then they continue to do evil, they will not be saved. If you believe in Me, then you will follow My example and do what I have told you to do. It is the same for the Jews as for the non-Jews. You cannot justify yourself; I am the only one who can take away your sins, because I have offered Myself in oblation to the Father for your salvation. Yes, I suffered and died on the cross to pay the price for all your sins. Now repent, and your sins will be taken away. I bless you all.”
