Peter’s Denial of Jesus

Dear friends,
A reading from St. Mark’s Gospel (14:66-72):
While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the high priest’s maids came along. Seeing Peter warming himself, she looked intently at him and said, “You too were with the Nazarene, Jesus.” But he denied it saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are talking about.” So he went out into the outer court. Then the cock crowed. The maid saw him and began again to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them.” Once again he denied it. A little later the bystanders said to Peter once more, “Surely you are one of them; for you too are a Galilean.” He began to curse and to swear, “I do not know this man about whom you are talking.” And immediately a cock crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the cock crows twice you will deny me three times.” He broke down and wept.

          Again I wish to thank all those who send donations to help me. The Lord will surely bless you for your generosity. I still need some more help and I will be very thankful if you help me. I would not like to abandon Our Lady of PEI’s little shrine, which She asked me to build in Her honor. I am praying for all of you that the Lord will bless you and give you all the graces and help you need.

          Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I am always ready to pardon you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in the world. You know the truth that you are all sinners. Look at what St. Peter did the night I was arrested and brought before the High Priest. Peter was outside and when he was asked if he was with Me, Jesus, he denied it. He did not deny it once but three times. I had told him at the Last Supper that this would happen but he did not want to accept it. However, when the cock crowed twice, then he remembered what I had told him and he wept. This means that he was sorry for what he had done.
“It is the same for all of you. When you commit sin, you have to repent of what you’ve done and pray to Me and say that you are sorry for having committed that sin. Ask for My forgiveness and I will take away all your sins. Go to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation and you will receive from Me many graces to help you not to sin in the future. I love you all and I forgive you.”

Jesus before the Sanhedrin

Dear friends,
A reading from St. Mark’s Gospel (14:53-65):

          They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together. Peter followed him at a distance into the high priest’s courtyard and was seated with the guards, warming himself at the fire. The chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, but they found none. Many gave false witness against him, but their testimony did not agree. Some took the stand and testified falsely against him, alleging, “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands and within three days I will build another not made with hands.'” Even so their testimony did not agree. The high priest rose before the assembly and questioned Jesus, saying, “Have you no answer? What are these men testifying against you?” But he was silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him and said to him, “Are you the Messiah, the son of the Blessed One?” Then Jesus answered, “I am; and ‘you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.'”
At that the high priest tore his garments and said, “What further need have we of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?” They all condemned him as deserving to die. Some began to spit on him. They blindfolded him and struck him and said to him, “Prophesy!” And the guards greeted him with blows.

          We had a find day yesterday, as it was sunny almost the whole day. The temperature was about 6 degrees.

          Below you will find the message of Our dear Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words:
          “I love you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living on the face of the earth. As you read My Passion you see how the leaders of the Jews treated Me. First they accused Me of all kinds of falsehood and at the end when the chief priest asked me this question: ‘Are you the Messiah, the son of the Blessed One?’ I told them the truth that they would see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven. At this the chief priest condemned Me and so did all the people there. They spat on Me. They blindfolded Me and struck Me and the guards greeted Me with blows.
“If you had been there at this trial what would have been your reaction? Would you have condemned Me too? Many living today would have done just like those people present at My trial. I forgive them and I ask you all to pray for them.”
