The Transfiguration of Jesus

Dear friends,
A reading from the Gospel of St. Mark (9:2-8) :

After six days, Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no fuller on earth could bleach them. Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, “Rabbi, it is good that we are here! Let us make three tents; one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He hardly knew what to say, they were so terrified. Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; then from the cloud came a voice, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone but Jesus alone with them.

I am daily getting better although I am not completely healed yet. I still have pain in my stomach especially at night and when I worked a little I soon feel tired. I thank the Lord that I am improving every day and I know that in a few weeks I will be completely well.

I wish to thank all those who have been such a great help to me to pay my bills. Thank you for all your donations. I know now that I will have heating oil in the winter to keep me warm. If you send a cheque to me in the future please make it out to Our Lady of PEI Inc.

Below you will find the message given to Father Melvin by Jesus, Our Lord. He spoke to me these words.

“I bless you My brother who never forgets Me and I bless all My brothers and sisters scattered throughout the world who believe in Me and follow My directions.

Today I wish to talk to you about My Transfiguration on the mountain. I took three Apostles with Me and I showed Myself to them in My divinity. I was changed and My clothes were brightly white. Elijah who had gone hundreds and hundreds of years ago now appeared to them and then a second one appeared, Moses, who had died many, many years before. At the end they heard the voice of My Father telling them, ‘This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him.’ All this was to prepare the Apostles for what was coming: namely My Passion and death on the cross and then My Resurrection. Read this passage often and it will bring you closer to Me and your faith will grow strong. I love you all.“

Father Melvin
P.S. I greet you all today. I am getting better and I have decided to start again putting out the messages. May the Lord bless you all.

My Thirty-day Retreat – Conclusion

Dear Friends,

This is the last part of my thirty-day retreat. A good number have written to me about how these passages from my retreat have touched them. I asked you all now to pray for what Jesus wants: namely, the beginning of the Contemplative Brothers of Jesus and the Contemplative Sisters of Jesus. He is the one as you saw during the last weeks of the retreat who asked me to start these two religious congregations. My spiritual director agreed that I was given an important task by Our Lord. I pray that I may be able to do what the Lord asked of me.
Father Melvin

21st May 1990 ­– This morning we are asked to write a few words on this topic: What has been for me the experience of the retreat? The experience of the 30 day retreat has been for me a very deep and personal relationship with the Suffering Jesus. The Risen Lord also played a major role at the end of the retreat. The first 13 days was spent in close union with Jesus in His Agony, Passion and Death. He shared with me in a real way all the sufferings He underwent during the Paschal Mystery. This grace over such a long time was for me the transformation, the conversion of my whole life. Through this experience which was painful at times, Jesus made His Redemption so personal to me and showed me such great love. It was as if He had just died for me to re-create me and to forge a deep relationship with me. Jesus underwent His Passion, Death and Resurrection in my very being so that I could feel what He felt, suffer what He suffered, feel sorrow and abandonment as He did, and undergo all this out of love for me and the people of the whole world. I also felt this great thirst for the salvation of the world. After the resurrection I felt great joy to be with the Risen Lord. I heard His Call to follow Him, to offer myself completely to Him. He confirmed the call to found the Society, which He had asked for through a special inspiration 13 years ago. He said it was time to begin. This new Society is to be an instrument in His hands for the salvation of many. He asked me to found this Society although I feel so limited and poor. He asked me to work intimately with Him and with the Church. He wants this new Family to see the light of day soon. I know that this idea is not mine but the Lord’s. He is the one who wants this New Society, for He has taken the initiative. I submit myself to Him, wishing only to do His will. I know now that I can approach my Superiors with a clear vision, and to do the will of God. I realize that this is a very great undertaking, which calls for much suffering and holy patience. I know how poor I am, yet my prayer is: Not my will but Thine be done. I have complete confidence in God. I hear in me the great cry from the Cross: “I thirst” of Jesus, His great desire to redeem all the peoples of the world.

22nd May 1990 – Today I said Good-bye to Jerusalem, and flew to Rome. I will stay at the Missionaries of Africa Generalate for a few days. I was able to see the Superior General who encouraged me, but said I cannot begin till I have a Bishop who is ready to allow me to begin.

My Thirty-day Retreat – Part 11

Dear Friends,
There are only these days written here of the retreat. It is always a boost for me to read what I wrote about the retreat. It brings me back to the experiences I had so many years ago. I will never forget these days in Jerusalem.
Father Melvin
P.S. – If any of you sends me a cheque please make it out to “Our Lady of P.E.I. Inc.” and not in my name. Thank you.

          18th May 1990 – Early this morning I had a period of prayer, and I began by reading 1 John 2, 18 – 29. Here we have the fourth condition to follow Jesus. We have to be on guard against the enemies of Christ. These people are those who don’t believe, and who do everything to carry off those who do believe. They deny Jesus and live in opposition to Him. So, I have to remain in union with Jesus and not be influenced by those ungodly people. We should pray for such people that they be converted and turn from their sinful ways. We must be on our guard not to be influenced by their ideas. Jesus tells me to follow Him every day, to make use of the graces He gives me, and to follow the resolutions I made. I have to pray daily for the Society.
I saw my director, Fr. Luc, for the last time this morning. He has confirmed that the Lord wants this Society. He does not see how it will develop, but He says to leave it in the hands of God. He also confirmed that the Holy Spirit has been guiding my retreat, and that it has been for me a very special retreat. Indeed I can thank God for all the graces and light I received during these 30 days. Fr. Luc says now is the time for ACTION. I will see the Superior General in Rome in a few days, and I will write a letter to the Regional in Zambia, and I will also write to Fr. Piet. At the end he gave me his blessing and said he would pray for me and the Society.

The end of the retreat

          19th May 1990 – We are still in Jerusalem and this morning during my meditation I felt very near to Jesus. He spoke to me saying, “Always remain close to me. You must come every day to pray and be with Me. The members of the Society must also remain close to me. Their faith will be strengthened by the experience I talked about during the retreat. Pray for the Brothers and Sisters every day.”
At 7:30 we left by bus to visit the Negev, a desert south of Jerusalem. We went to Bersheba, a desert town of 100,000 people. We came home via the Dead Sea.

20th May 1990 – Meditation this morning was of one hour on the Priestly Prayer of Jesus. During this prayer Jesus spoke to me saying, “I love you, Melvin, I embrace you. You are my dearest Brother. I will always love you. You are privileged indeed to have the opportunity and the grace to pray for 30 days, to be so close to me all this time. I have blessed you and given you great graces for a complete renewal of your life, so that now you are a pioneer and free from all vices. Today I give you the gift of prayer so that you can come to me at any time and remain in deep prayer with me. Pray every day. Look forward to give the people the experience which will be of great importance to bring the people to me. Remember I love you.
