Saul’s Baptism

Dear Friends,
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (9:10-19a):
          There was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” He answered, “Here I am, Lord.” The Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight and ask at the house of Judas for a man from Tarsus named Saul. He is there praying, and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him, that he may regain his sight.”
But Ananias replied, “Lord, I have heard from many sources about this man, what evil things he has done to your holy ones in Jerusalem. And here he has authority from the chief priests to imprison all who call upon your name.” But the Lord said to him, “Go, for this man is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before Gentiles, kings, and Israelites, and I will show him what he will have to suffer for my name.”
So Ananias went and entered the house; laying his hands on him, he said, “Saul, my brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus who appeared to you on the way by which you came, that you may regain your sight and be filled with the holy Spirit.” Immediately things like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. He got up and was baptized, and when he had eaten, he recovered his strength.

          The weather was great yesterday. The temperature came up to 16 degrees Celsius in the afternoon. So a lot of the snow in the woods melted away. I thank the Lord for the change of weather.

          Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
“I love you My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters spread throughout the world. My Son Jesus is working hard helping all the people with His divine grace to bring them out of darkness into the light, whom He brought into the world. One of those He brought into the light was Saul, who became Paul. He had persecuted the Church of My Son for years, but when he was struck of his horse on the way to Damascus and Jesus told him that he was persecuting Him, he was converted. He came to believe in the Messiah with all his heart. When Ananias visited him and placed his hands on him, Saul got his sight back and was baptized. Truly he entered the light brought into the world by My Son Jesus. He took the name of Paul, and worked hard throughout the world to spread the Good News and to build up the Church of My Son.
“I call you, My sons and daughters, to come to Me and I will bring you to My Son Jesus. You will come close to Him and work together with Him and My Church to spread the Good News of the Gospel. I am praying for all of you and how I wish you would all open your hearts to allow Jesus to enter in. I love you all.”

Saul’s Conversion

Dear Friends,
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (9:1-9):
          Now Saul, still breathing murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, that, if he should find any men or women who belonged to the Way, he might bring them back to Jerusalem in chains. On his journey, as he was nearing Damascus, a light from the sky suddenly flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” He said, “Who are you, sir?” The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Now get up and go into the city and you will be told what you must do.”
The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, for they heard the voice but could see no one. Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him to Damascus. For three days he was unable to see, and he neither ate nor drank.

          I thank the Lord for another beautiful and sunny day yesterday. It was a little cooler at 6 degrees Celsius. All the snow is gone in the fields and around the house and already small patches of green grass can be seen here and there. Praise the Lord.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Rejoice, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters, every time a person is converted. This means they have accepted the grace that I have given them and they have started to believe in Me, their Savior. Saul was converted in a dramatic manner so that those who were with him might see the drama that took place and that they too might be converted. Saul, who became Paul, was thrown from his horse and fell on the ground and heard My voice. You see I told him that he was persecuting Me. When someone does something evil to one or more of My followers, they do it to Me. You should also understand that the Christians had been praying for the conversion of St. Paul for some time.
“I call upon you all, My brothers and sisters, to pray for the conversion of all those who do not believe in Me. Pray that they may receive the grace to believe in Me and that they have the power to follow Me. You all are to work together with Me so that these people might receive this great gift. My brother Melvin, you have seen the conversion of thousands of people when you were in Africa. Today this is the continent where many, many people receive the grace of conversion. Pray, My friends, that those in other continents who have no faith may come to believe too. I bless you all.”

Philip and the Ethiopian

Dear Friends,
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (8:26-39):
          Then the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, “Get up and head south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, the desert route.” So he got up and set out. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace, that is, the queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury, who had come to Jerusalem to worship, and was returning home. Seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
The Spirit said to Philip, “Go and join up with that chariot.” Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” He replied, “How can I, unless someone instructs me?” So he invited Philip to get in and sit with him. This was the scripture passage he was reading: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he opened not his mouth. In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who will tell of his posterity? For his life is taken from the earth.” Then the eunuch said to Philip in reply, “I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?”
Then Philip opened his mouth and, beginning with this scripture passage, he proclaimed Jesus to him. As they traveled along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Look, there is water. What is to prevent my being baptized?” Then he ordered the chariot to stop, and Philip and the eunuch both went down into the water, and he baptized him. When they came out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but continued on his way rejoicing.

          We had another nice day yesterday with nice temperature and plenty of sun. We are now back in the springtime.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Listen to the Spirit, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have accepted Me as your Savior. Like Philip you will be called to do various things and especially to visit some people to help them. When you are aware that the Holy Spirit is calling you, do not hesitate but go immediately to where the Spirit is leading you. You are to help this person in a special way. If somebody is sent to you to visit you, receive this person with open arms and listen to what this person has to say. You will know if this person comes from the Holy Spirit by judging how true are the words that he or she is telling you. If the person speaks to you about doing good, then accept it, but if it is about hating or doing evil then you know that it is from the devil, so do not accept what he or she has to say. What many need is help to strengthen their faith so they will believe in Me without any doubt or questioning. You must accept me as your Savior who is the Son of God. I came into this world to suffer and die for you because I love you. I want you with Me always. I bless you all.”
