Prayer for Sinners

Dear Friends,
A reading from the
 First Letter of Saint John (5:13-21):
I write these things to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God. And we have this confidence in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, we know that what we have asked him for is ours. If anyone sees his brother sinning, if the sin is not deadly, he should pray to God and he will give him life. This is only for those whose sin is not deadly. There is such a thing as deadly sin, about which I do not say that you should pray. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that is not deadly.
We know that no one begotten by God sins; but the one begotten by God he protects, and the evil one cannot touch him. We know that we belong to God, and the whole world is under the power of the evil one. We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us discernment to know the one who is true. And we are in the one who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Children, be on your guard against idols.

          Today we begin Holy Week, the greatest week of the year. It will end with the death of Jesus on the cross on Good Friday and on Sunday we will celebrate the resurrection of Our Lord from the dead. Make this week a week of prayer and good works.

Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Repent, repent of all your sins, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who are part of My Church and have been baptized. Every person is a sinner and so everyone has to repent of all his or her sins so that I may take them away and give you the graces you need and I can come and live in your heart. My Father too wants to live in your heart together with the Holy Spirit. You are called to be like a tabernacle where your God lives and be conscious of that fact at least every hour of your day. If you should sin then repent of that sin as soon as possible so I can remain in your heart all the time. You have been chosen to follow Me and one day to be with Me in glory. I bless you all.”

          Father Melvin

Faith is Victory over the World

Faith is Victory over the World

Dear Friends,
A reading from the 
First Letter of Saint John (5:1-12):
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten by God, and everyone who loves the father loves also the one begotten by him. In this way we know that we love the children of God when we love God and obey his commandments. For the love of God is this, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, for whoever is begotten by God conquers the world. And the victory that conquers the world is our faith. Who indeed is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
This is the one who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by water alone, but by water and blood. The Spirit is the one that testifies, and the Spirit is truth. So there are three that testify, the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and the three are of one accord. If we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is surely greater. Now the testimony of God is this, that he has testified on behalf of his Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar by not believing the testimony God has given about his Son. And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever possesses the Son has life; whoever does not possess the Son of God does not have life.

          Some snow fell yesterday but not very much. It was above zero and more snow melted. We are now in the spring season and it should get warmer as we go on. I hope the snow will stop soon.

          Below you will find the message of Our Dear Mother Mary given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
“Live in great faith in My Son Jesus My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who listen to My words. My Son Jesus is the Son of God the Father and His Father has surely made known His love for Jesus. How many times the Father spoke of His Son at special moments. He spoke at the baptism of Jesus at the Jordan River by John the Baptist. He also spoke at the Transfiguration on the mountain about Jesus. My Son followed His Father every day doing all that He told Him to do. There is a great love between the two divine Persons. Jesus did say these words, ‘My Father and I are one.’ Indeed they are united as one.
“I am praying for all the people of the world that they may come to accept and believe wholeheartedly in My Son Jesus, as He is the only Savior of the people of the world. His great sacrifice on the cross brought this about in an unforgettable way. I love you all and I bless you.”

God’s Love and Christian Life

God’s Love and Christian Life

Dear Friends,
A reading from the 
First Letter of Saint John (4:13-21):
This is how we know that we remain in him and he in us, that he has given us of his Spirit. Moreover, we have seen and testify that the Father sent his Son as savior of the world. Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him and he in God. We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us.
God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him. In this is love brought to perfection among us, that we have confidence on the day of judgment because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment, and so one who fears is not yet perfect in love. We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar; for whoever does not love a brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. This is the commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.

          We had another beautiful sunny day yesterday and much of the snow that fell yesterday is already melted. However, I just looked at my oil tank and I see that soon I will need more oil. It is much less than half full. So if anyone can help I would be very happy indeed and the Lord will bless that person.

Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Love your God and love your brothers and sisters My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who want to follow Me. Be full of joy because My love is filling your heart every day. You were made for love and you cannot truly live if you do not love in return. Be ready to forgive all those who have hurt you in any way. Do not hold a grudge against anyone. It is true that sometimes you get angry and say words you should not say. If you do then ask forgiveness from these people you have offended and come to Your Heavenly Father and repent of your sins, He will take all your sins away and give you the graces to help you do better in the future. You know that I forgave before I died on the cross all those who were putting Me to death. I never kept a grudge or any hatred against anyone. So come and follow My example. I love you all.”

          Father Melvin
