Stephen’s Discourses (continued)

Dear Friends,
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (7:9-22):
          “The patriarchs, jealous of Joseph, sold him into slavery in Egypt; but God was with him and rescued him from all his afflictions. He granted him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, who put him in charge of Egypt and of his entire household. Then a famine and great affliction struck all Egypt and Canaan, and our ancestors could find no food; but when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our ancestors there a first time. The second time, Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became known to Pharaoh. Then Joseph sent for his father Jacob, inviting him and his whole clan, seventy-five persons; and Jacob went down to Egypt. And he and our ancestors died and were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had purchased for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor at Shechem.
“When the time drew near for the fulfillment of the promise that God pledged to Abraham, the people had increased and become very numerous in Egypt, until another king who knew nothing of Joseph came to power in Egypt. He dealt shrewdly with our people and oppressed our ancestors by forcing them to expose their infants, that they might not survive. At this time Moses was born, and he was extremely beautiful. For three months he was nursed in his father’s house; but when he was exposed, Pharaoh’s daughter adopted him and brought him up as her own son. Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in his words and deeds.”

          I thank all those who sent me donations to help me with my debts. I will soon need more heating oil. It snowed yesterday and it will snow again today. I hope this will be the last snowfall.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“If you suffer at times then suffer together with Me, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters, who live in union with Me. Look at Joseph in the Old Testament and all the Jews who were in slavery in Egypt. They suffered very much for many years. How many infants were killed at the command of the Egyptians because they were afraid of the Jews. If they became too numerous, they might rebel against their masters. Our Heavenly Father brought forth Moses who was the one chosen to bring the Jews out of Egypt back into their promise land.
“I am like Moses, as I am the one who brought you out of slavery to sin and into the freedom of My Kingdom. As the Jews followed Moses into the desert and finally to Israel, so you in turn must follow Me on the road to heaven. Accept all My teachings and open your heart to Me to receive the strength you need and the graces to reach the Promise Land. I bless you all and I am calling you to follow in My steps every day.”

Jesus Hanging on the Cross

Dear Friends,
A reading from St. John’s Gospel (19:23-30):
          When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four shares, a share for each soldier. They also took his tunic, but the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top down. So they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it will be,” in order that the passage of scripture might be fulfilled that says: “They divided my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots.” This is what the soldiers did.
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.
After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I thirst.” There was a vessel filled with common wine. So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth. When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, “It is finished.” And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit.

          I thank the Lord for the great Pope we have. Pope Francis is blessed by Our Lord and he is working very well. Already many lapsed Catholics have decided to come back to the church because they love the new pope. Let us continue to pray for the Pope that his health will remain good and that he will touch the hearts of many people in the Church.

Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
“I love you My dear son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who are consecrated to Me. I am your Mother and My duty is to bring you all to My Son Jesus. The Apostle, St. John, stood for each one of you at the foot of the cross of My Son Jesus. My Son spoke to Me before He died, telling Me that you are all My children, and He tells you all that I am your Mother. By giving birth to My Son, I gave Him to all of you as your Savior. Unite your life with His and open your heart to all that He wants to give you. The graces He won on the cross, He gives them to you through Me, His Mother. It is My joy to dispense these wonderful gifts to all of you so that your faith may be strong, that you can avoid all sin and love all your brothers and sisters. Be active members of His Church and be men and women of prayer. I want you all with Me and My Son Jesus in heaven one day. I bless you all.”

Stephen’s Discourse

Dear Friends,
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (7:1-8):
Then the high priest asked, “Is this so?” And [Stephen] replied,
          “My brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was in Mesopotamia, before he had settled in Haran, and said to him, ‘Go forth from your land and from your kinsfolk to the land that I will show you.’ So he went forth from the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. And from there, after his father died, he made him migrate to this land where you now dwell. Yet he gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot’s length, but he did promise to give it to him and his descendants as a possession, even though he was childless. And God spoke thus, ‘His descendants shall be aliens in a land not their own, where they shall be enslaved and oppressed for four hundred years; but I will bring judgment on the nation they serve,’ God said, ‘and after that they will come out and worship me in this place.’ Then he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and so he became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, as Isaac did Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.”

          We had a beautiful sunny day yesterday and the weather was milder. Much snow melted so now there is no snow in front of the house and chapel. I thank the Lord for these lovely days.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Accept all the great saints of the past, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who belong to My Kingdom. One of these great saints was Saint Stephen who lived in Jerusalem and worked with the Apostles as a deacon. He was not afraid to stand up in the Sanhedrin and to give a discourse to all those present about how the Jewish nation was born, starting with Abraham. All the people listened to him, although at the end they killed him.
“Stephen was a man with great faith who loved Me with all his heart. He was a great example to all the Christian people because he followed all the commandments and was a great man of prayer. I call you all to imitate him in following Me. Fight the good fight and challenge everyone who speaks falsely. Be for life and never accept the horror of abortion. Every conceived child has a right to life and to be born. Let your voice be heard and never vote for any politician who is for abortion. Work together with Me so that this horrible sin will end in every country of the world. I bless you all.”
