Unity in the Body

Dear Friends,

A reading from St. Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians (4:1-15):

I, then, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace: one body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

But grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore, it says: “He ascended on high and took prisoners captive; he gave gifts to men.”

What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended into the lower regions of the earth? The one who descended is also the one who ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things. And he gave some as apostles, others as prophets, others as evangelists, others as pastors and teachers, to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the extent of the full stature of Christ, so that we may no longer be infants, tossed by waves and swept along by every wind of teaching arising from human trickery, from their cunning in the interests of deceitful scheming. Rather, living the truth in love, we should grow in every way into him who is the head, Christ.

I wish to thank all those who gave donations during the last days. It is a great help but I still am in need and it is difficult to sleep at night. I thank you all who have and who will help me in the near future.

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

It is My joy to give you great gifts especially you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters united together in the one Church. It is very important to be united with Me and with one another in the power of the Holy Spirit. Love one another and be humble and gentle with one another. You must always be ready to forgive anyone who hurts you in any way. Remember you are all brothers and sisters as you are one in the Spirit, you all have the same calling, you have the same Savior, the same faith and the same baptism. You have been transformed into Me, Your Lord and Redeemer. If you have this strong faith, then you will receive different gifts for the different ministries that are needed in My Church. Through these ministries you will grow in holiness and I will live in you and you will live in Me. You will be Christian adults who do not listen to fables but adhere to the truth that comes from Me and My Church. So be familiar with My teachings that are in the Bible especially the New Testament. I love you all and I bless you.”

Commission to Preach God’s Plan

Commission to Preach God’s Plan

Dear Friends,

A reading from St. Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians (3:1-13):

Because of this, I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles – if, as I suppose, you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for your benefit, namely, that the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly earlier. When you read this you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to human beings in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit, that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

Of this I became a minister by the gift of God’s grace that was granted me in accord with the exercise of his power. To me, the very least of all the holy ones, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the inscrutable riches of Christ, and to bring to light for all what is the plan of the mystery hidden from ages past in God who created all things, so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the principalities and authorities in the heavens. This was according to the eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness of speech and confidence of access through faith in him. So I ask you not to lose heart over my afflictions for you; this is your glory.

We had a lovely day yesterday, Sunday, with plenty of sunshine. We have to pray for the USA, as there is drought in many areas. Here we have rain almost every week. The potatoes are all in bloom.

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

I fill you with My grace My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living throughout the world. I won all the graces you need by My sacrifice on the cross. I would like you to receive all the great gifts I have for you if you come and follow Me. I select you all to spread My word in the area where you live. Begin small groups in My name and pray together and read the Gospels and share on the reading. In this way you will come to know Me better and you will help your friends and neighbors to grow in their faith. I also advise you to pray the rosary together for this is a beautiful prayer where you contemplate the various events of My life and the life of My Blessed Mother. Meet together in your homes once a week and you will be blessed by Me. Indeed you will receive graces, which no one receives unless they follow these words of mine. If you are My followers you are to do your part to spread My word and to help the people to grow in faith. It is important to have strong faith in order to overcome every obstacle and to go forward in your spiritual life. I bless you all.”

One in Christ

One in Christ

Dear Friends,

A reading from St. Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians (2:11-22):

Therefore, remember that at one time you, Gentiles in the flesh, called the uncircumcision by those called the circumcision, which is done in the flesh by human hands, were at that time without Christ, alienated from the community of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have become near by the blood of Christ.

For he is our peace, he who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of enmity, through his flesh, abolishing the law with its commandments and legal claims, that he might create in himself one new person in place of the two, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile both with God, in one body, through the cross, putting that enmity to death by it. He came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near, for through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone. Through him the whole structure is held together and grows into a temple sacred in the Lord; in him you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

Again I wish to thank all those who have sent donations to help for the running of the chapel of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island. It costs to pay the electricity, the taxes, the heating oil, the telephone and other things. I have not paid all the bills yet. I thank the Lord for every gift I receive and I ask Him to bless those who are generous. May you receive many graces.

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

I bless you all with all My heart who believe in Me especially you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters scattered all over the countries of the world. This is the greatest gift you can receive and I asked you all to do all you can to preserve this gift. Before My coming into the world the Gentiles believed in many pagan gods who were the fiction of their imagination. There is no such thing as a multitude of gods. I brought you the truth that there is only One God who is the Creator of everything in the world. He created all human beings and He keeps them in being at every minute. They are the only ones on earth who can come to know the One and Only God and live in union with Him. If you are Christians, then you know that in the One God there are three Divine Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Today many of the Gentiles have accepted Me as their Savior and they pray regularly and go to church at least every Sunday. Those who do this and avoid sin will surely be in heaven with Me one day. Continue your walk with Me and accept My gifts and My graces I give you every day. I love you and I want you with Me at all times.”
