Mary Visits Elizabeth

Dear Friends,
A reading from St. Luke’s Gospel (1:39-56):

          
During those days Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.”
And Mary said: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid’s lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him. He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart. He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly. The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”
Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home.

          It rained yesterday but it stopped before noon. Please pray to Our Mother that Her intentions will be fulfilled soon.

Below you will find the message of Our Dear Mother Mary given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
“I bless you, My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who love My Son Jesus and accept Me as your Mother. Today is the Feast of My visit to My cousin Elizabeth. The angel had told me that she was with child and so I decided to go and visit her and to help her with her chores for about three months. When I greeted Elizabeth, her child, John the Baptist, leaped in her womb out of joy and his mother was filled with the Holy Spirit. Her words to me now form part of the Hail Mary, the prayer you recite every day when you pray the rosary. Her unborn child received a special grace from My Son Jesus I was carrying in My womb. These two unborn children communicated with one another and influenced their mothers. This shows that we should know that the unborn is a human being from the time of his or her conception. Therefore to abort an unborn child is to commit murder, and all who do this will have to pay for this horrible sin. Never allow a doctor to kill your child, but keep him close to you and love that child. After Elizabeth prophesied, I sang My canticle and I was filled with great joy. I would like every one of you would read or sing My canticle every day. May the Lord bless you all.”

          Father Melvin
P.S. I wish you all a great Feast of the Visitation.

Paul’s Speech continued

Paul’s Speech continued

Dear Friends,
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (22:6-16):

          
[Paul continued his speech saying,] “On that journey as I drew near to Damascus, about noon a great light from the sky suddenly shone around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’ I replied,‘Who are you, sir?’ And he said to me, ‘I am Jesus the Nazorean whom you are persecuting.’ My companions saw the light but did not hear the voice of the one who spoke to me. I asked, ‘What shall I do, sir?’ The Lord answered me, ‘Get up and go into Damascus, and there you will be told about everything appointed for you to do.’ Since I could see nothing because of the brightness of that light, I was led by hand by my companions and entered Damascus.
“A certain Ananias, a devout observer of the law, and highly spoken of by all the Jews who lived there, came to me and stood there and said, ‘Saul, my brother, regain your sight.’ And at that very moment I regained my sight and saw him. Then he said, ‘The God of our ancestors designated you to know his will, to see the Righteous One, and to hear the sound of his voice; for you will be his witness before all to what you have seen and heard. Now, why delay? Get up and have yourself baptized and your sins washed away, calling upon his name.’

          We had another beautiful sunny day yesterday and the temperature was not bad. We are supposed to have rain today.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I am the light of the world, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who believe these words that are written in the Bible. When I encountered Paul on the road to Damascus, the first thing he saw was this bright light. All those who were with him also saw the light. I called him and asked him this question:‘Why are you persecuting Me?’ I was reminding him that by persecuting the Christians, he was persecuting Me, the Lord, as I am identified with each person that is persecuted. Paul was blinded because of the light, but I told him to go to Damascus and his friend took him by the hand and led him to town. It is there that Ananias was told to go to Paul and to pray that he may see again and to baptize him. Ananias did all this and Paul became a Christian. I had chosen Paul for a very special mission. He had to visit many countries and to preach the good news to the people everywhere. Paul did a great job and many people entered the Church.
“Read Saint Paul’s letter as they have many beautiful teachings for all of you today. I bless you all.”

Paul’s Defense before the Jews

Paul’s Defense before the Jews

Dear Friends,
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (21:37-40; 22:1-5):

          
Just as Paul was about to be taken into the compound, he said to the cohort commander, “May I say something to you?” He replied, “Do you speak Greek? So then you are not the Egyptian who started a revolt some time ago and led the four thousand assassins into the desert?” Paul answered, “I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city; I request you to permit me to speak to the people.” When he had given his permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand to the people; and when all was quiet he addressed them in Hebrew, 
“My brothers and fathers, listen to what I am about to say to you in my defense.” When they heard him addressing them in Hebrew they became all the more quiet. And he continued, “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city. At the feet of Gamaliel I was educated strictly in our ancestral law and was zealous for God, just as all of you are today. I persecuted this Way to death, binding both men and women and delivering them to prison. Even the high priest and the whole council of elders can testify on my behalf. For from them I even received letters to the brothers and set out for Damascus to bring back to Jerusalem in chains for punishment those there as well.”

          What a wonderful sunny day we had yesterday and it was warm in the afternoon. I thank the Lord for this very great day.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Believe that I have great power My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have seen so many miracles take place. I work miracles every day and you will see them if your eyes are open or your ears are ready to listen. Saint Paul is one person on whom I performed a great miracle. At the beginning he was completely against Me and he wanted to destroy My Church. He had many believers arrested and thrown into prison. He gave his consent for the murder of Saint Stephen, the first martyr of the Church. However, one day I knocked him of his horse and I spoke to him. He was blinded by the bright light and only after his baptism was he able to see again. I am ready to perform many more miracles to show you that I am alive and that I have what is called divine power.
“My brother Melvin, you wore glasses for about 20 years and you could hardly see without them. One day in Africa, early in the morning, I healed your eyes and you could see. On that day you threw your glasses away and up to today you have never used them. This year is the 36th year that you threw them away. I have performed many miracles in all the countries of the world because I love you all and I want you all to be close to Me for I am your Savior. I bless you all.”

          Father Melvin
