Live in Concord

Dear Friends,

A reading from St. Paul’s Letter to the Philippians (4.1-9):

Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, beloved. I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to come to a mutual understanding in the Lord. Yes, and I ask you also, my true yokemate, to help them, for they have struggled at my side in promoting the gospel, along with Clement and my other co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice! Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me. Then the God of peace will be with you.

Some have been phoning my superiors telling them that I have millions of dollars and I am still asking for donations. I thought once I would receive a lot of money but I assure you I did not receive anything. I am simply asking for a bit of money to pay for the upkeep of the beautiful chapel of Our Lady.

I am retired and I just receive a small pension to live on. I eat little and I do not put the electricity on if I can live without it.

Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words:

I love you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world. You are my joy. It is a fact that many of you live at times with misunderstanding. Some do not understand why you do this or that. Others try to see evil from your actions or from your words. This causes conflicts with those you live with. What you have to do is to get together and talk about your problems. In this way you will get rid of any misunderstanding you might have about your brother or sister and there will be mutual love between you. You know I want you all to love everyone of your neighbor and never to slander and talk evil about him or her. I love you and you too are called to love.”

Forward in Christ

Forward in Christ

Dear Friends,

A reading from St. Paul’s Letter to the Philippians (3:12-21):

It is not that I have already taken hold of it or have already attained perfect maturity, but I continue my pursuit in hope that I may possess it, since I have indeed been taken possession of by Christ Jesus. Brothers, I for my part do not consider myself to have taken possession. Just one thing: forgetting what lies behind but straining forward to what lies ahead, I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God’s upward calling, in Christ Jesus. Let us, then, who are “perfectly mature” adopt this attitude. And if you have a different attitude, this too God will reveal to you. Only, with regard to what we have attained, continue on the same course.

Join with others in being imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who thus conduct themselves according to the model you have in us. For many, as I have often told you and now tell you even in tears, conduct themselves as enemies of the cross of Christ.  Their end is destruction. Their God is their stomach; their glory is in their “shame.” Their minds are occupied with earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will change our lowly body to conform with his glorified body by the power that enables him also to bring all things into subjection to himself.

—————————————

Again I thank all those who sent me a donation for the upkeep of Our Lady’s chapel and to pay for electricity, heating oil, and other bills. The bills are not all paid yet so please help me.

Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words:

I greet you My friend Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have given their lives to Me, their Savior. You are all called to pursuit holiness. I have told you and it is in the Bible: Be perfect as My heavenly Father is perfect. The more perfect you are the holier you have become. You cannot reach holiness on your own, you need My help and especially the graces I won for you.

Holiness is like climbing the mountain. The higher you go the holier you are. So come and climb the mountain with Me and every day you will go up some steps. One day in the future you will reach the summit and then you will be ready for heaven for you will be perfectly holy. It is not easy but possible if you remain with Me. All the saints have reach this summit and now they are in heaven. I also want you all in heaven with Me. I love you.”

Obedience and Service in the World

Obedience and Service in the World

Dear Friends,

A reading from St. Paul’s Letter to the Philippians (2:12-24):

So then, my beloved, obedient as you have always been, not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent, work out your salvation with fear and trembling. For God is the one who, for his good purpose, works in you both to desire and to work. Do everything without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine like lights in the world, as you hold on to the word of life, so that my boast for the day of Christ may be that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. But, even if I am poured out as a libation upon the sacrificial service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with all of you. In the same way you also should rejoice and share your joy with me.

I hope, in the Lord Jesus, to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be heartened by hearing news of you. For I have no one comparable to him for genuine interest in whatever concerns you. For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. But you know his worth, how as a child with a father he served along with me in the cause of the gospel. He it is, then, whom I hope to send as soon as I see how things go with me, but I am confident in the Lord that I myself will also come soon.

Almost every day there are some who inscribe names in the Book of Remembrance. You can write in the names that really need prayers and those who are sick. I will offer two Masses a week for a whole year for all those written in that book. I receive phone calls and e-mails telling me the change that has taken place of their loved ones they have entered in the book. The cost is $15.00 per person and 104 Masses will be offered for them over a whole year.

Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words:

Be of good cheer My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who live in every part of the world. It is a joy for Me to see you with your faith in Me and the joy you have in following Me every day. Joy is a gift I give My friends who follow what I have taught them.

I call you all My friends to serve My Church and all the people who are in need. The first thing to do is to pray for the Church that She may go forward and that many people will enter the Church every year. There are also people in need in every corner of the world so, please come and help them. You know if you help the poor, you are helping Me as I have identified Myself with every poor person.

Be obedient to all that I have taught you and all My teachings are given by My Church. Accept that I am truly present in the Eucharist and come to adoration and I will bless you in a special way. Pray for the end of abortion and euthanasia in the world. These are horrible sins, which has to stop. Walk with Me and you will be blessed. I love you all.”

Father Melvin
