Peter at Cornelius’ House

Dear Friends,
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (10:29b-43):
          [Peter said,] “May I ask, then, why you summoned me?” Cornelius replied, “Four days ago at this hour, three o’clock in the afternoon, I was at prayer in my house when suddenly a man in dazzling robes stood before me and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your almsgiving remembered before God. Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter. He is a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.’ So I sent for you immediately, and you were kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here in the presence of God to listen to all that you have been commanded by the Lord.”
Then Peter proceeded to speak and said, “In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him. You know the word that he sent to the Israelites as he proclaimed peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all, what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy Spirit and power. He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. We are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree. This man God raised on the third day and granted that he be visible, not to all the people, but to us, the witnesses chosen by God in advance, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commissioned us to preach to the people and testify that he is the one appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead. To him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins through his name.”

          We had a nice day yesterday with only a little rain but it was sunny for most of the day.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“You are all called, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters spread throughout the world, to listen and to read the writings of the Apostles for they are My witnesses. They were with Me for three years and they heard all My teachings and they saw all the miracles I performed. It was difficult for them to accept that I would be hanged on a cross to die, but they saw Me arrested by the temple police. Three days after My death, I rose again and in the evening of that day I appeared to most of the Apostles and of course they were frightened, but after sometime they accepted Me. They came to realize that another great miracle happened, My Resurrection.
“I was with the Apostles for forty days after My resurrection to help them in their faith and to finish the teachings I had to give them. They were present at My Ascension on the hill. I had told them to remain in Jerusalem and soon they would receive the Holy Spirit. Because he is a great witness of mine, I sent Saint Peter to Cornelius to teach him and his family about Me, and once taught they would receive the Holy Spirit and be baptized. All of this, My dear friends, is to teach you to renew your commitment to Me and to call on Me to give you again the Holy Spirit. He can come upon you many times in your lifetime. I bless you all.”

Some Men come to get Peter

Dear Friends,
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (10:17-29):
          While Peter was in doubt about the meaning of the vision he had seen, the men sent by Cornelius asked for Simon’s house and arrived at the entrance. They called out inquiring whether Simon, who is called Peter, was staying there. As Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “There are three men here looking for you. So get up, go downstairs, and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”
Then Peter went down to the men and said, “I am the one you are looking for. What is the reason for your being here?” They answered, “Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, respected by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear what you have to say.” So he invited them in and showed them hospitality. The next day he got up and went with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went with him.
On the following day he entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and, falling at his feet, paid him homage. Peter, however, raised him up, saying, “Get up. I myself am also a human being.” While he conversed with him, he went in and found many people gathered together and said to them, “You know that it is unlawful for a Jewish man to associate with, or visit, a Gentile, but God has shown me that I should not call any person profane or unclean. And that is why I came without objection when sent for. May I ask, then, why you summoned me?”

          We had a mostly rainy day yesterday and it will rain some more today.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Respect every person, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have accepted Me as your Lord and Savior. It does not make any difference where the person is from or what colour is his skin. Every person is equal before God and therefore should be accepted as such. It is terrible what has been done in the past. The Black people were not well treated by many European nations. You have heard of Apartheid, which was followed by the government and some churches in South Africa. This doctrine taught that Black people were of a lower human level that white people. This teaching is completely false and it should never have been taught. The Protestant churches who taught this should be expelled.
“It was also a fact that in some countries the Black people and the native Indians were treated as slaves. Again this was an offence against the dignity of these people. They are all human beings and deserve the same dignity as anybody else. I want all those who hold such attitudes today that they repent of this and accept the teaching of God because all people are equal and must be treated as such. I bless you all.”

The Vision of Peter

Dear Friends,
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (10:9-16):
          The next day, while they were on their way and nearing the city, Peter went up to the roof terrace to pray at about noontime. He was hungry and wished to eat, and while they were making preparations he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and something resembling a large sheet coming down, lowered to the ground by its four corners. In it were all the earth’s four-legged animals and reptiles and the birds of the sky. A voice said to him, “Get up, Peter. Slaughter and eat.” But Peter said, “Certainly not, sir. For never have I eaten anything profane and unclean.” The voice spoke to him again, a second time, “What God has made clean, you are not to call profane.” This happened three times, and then the object was taken up into the sky.

          I went fishing trout yesterday morning with a friend of mine. The trout were not biting much but I managed to catch four trout but my friend did not catch even one. Yesterday we had a beautiful sunny day and it was more than 10 degrees Celsius in the afternoon. I enjoy going fishing and I hope I will be able to go again soon.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Be attentive, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have great love for Me and who pray every day. At times I can show you a vision or give you a word to help you in your Christian life. I gave Saint Peter a vision one day of all kinds of animals, reptiles and birds. I did that because he was a Jew and the Jewish people have different laws about what they can eat. When I told Saint Peter to get up and slaughter, he refused because as a Jew he could not eat hardly anything shown to him. It was then that I taught him the teachings of God. I told him that what God has made clean, no one is to call profane. This means that you can eat everything that the Father has created for you to eat. After that Saint Peter started eating whatever the Gentiles ate, even pork. From this you can see that I did not want the Christians to follow those rules of the Jews, which do not come from the Father.
“This also means for all of you who believe in Me, your Savior, that you are to love every person whether that person is a Christian or not and even those who are opposed to the Christian Religion. What you are to do is to pray for them that they will come to accept the Christian Faith and stop their opposition to Christian doctrine. I bless you all.”
