Apostle to the Gentiles

Dear Friends,

Please read this passage from St. Paul’s Letter to the Gentiles (Rom 15:14-21):

I myself am convinced about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to admonish one another. But I have written to you rather boldly in some respects to remind you, because of the grace given me by God to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in performing the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering up of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to boast in what pertains to God. For I will not dare to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to lead the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed, by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum I have finished preaching the gospel of Christ. Thus I aspire to proclaim the gospel not where Christ has already been named, so that I do not build on another’s foundation, but as it is written: “Those who have never been told of him shall see, and those who have never heard of him shall understand.”

It started raining here last evening and it is raining still this morning. Yesterday I went trout fishing with my sister and we caught our full limit. I suppose that will do for this week. I call upon you all to continue to pray that what Our Blessed Mother asked for may be accomplished.

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

“I give you today St. Paul as an example to follow, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sister living in the world. He accepted the graces I gave him for conversion and then he followed Me all the days of his life. I sent him to teach the Gentiles, the non-Jews, living mostly in Europe and the Middle East. He did a good job and many people accepted his teaching and became believers in Me, their Savior. Do not be afraid to mention My name in front of people and to answer their questions. I want the conversion of all the people of the world for I want them all in heaven with Me.

Patience and Self-Denial

Dear Friends,

Please read this passage from the Letter of St. Paul to the Romans (15:1-13):

We who are strong ought to put up with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves; let each of us please our neighbor for the good, for building up. For Christ did not please himself; but, as it is written, “The insults of those who insult you fall upon me.” For whatever was written previously was written for our instruction, that by endurance and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope. May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to think in harmony with one another, in keeping with Christ Jesus, that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Welcome one another, then, as Christ welcomed you, for the glory of God. For I say that Christ became a minister of the circumcised to show God’s truthfulness, to confirm the promises to the patriarchs, but so that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written: “Therefore, I will praise you among the Gentiles and sing praises to your name.” And again it says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.” And again: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him.” And again Isaiah says: “The root of Jesse shall come, raised up to rule the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles hope.” May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Let us continue to pray for one another these days. Lift up your prayers to Our Dear Mother of Prince Edward Island, the Mother of Life.

(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 hope, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters scattered all over the world. You all need My peace to live a life in close union with Me. Each one of you faces problems just about every day so come to Me and I will give you courage and strength to face these obstacles. Alone you will fail but together with Me you will succeed.

To Live and Die for Christ

Dear Friends,

Here is a passage from St. Paul’s Letter to the Romans (14:1-12):

Welcome anyone who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions. One person believes that one may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. The one who eats must not despise the one who abstains, and the one who abstains must not pass judgment on the one who eats; for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on someone else’s servant? Before his own master he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. For one person considers one day more important than another, while another person considers all days alike. Let everyone be fully persuaded in his own mind. Whoever observes the day, observes it for the Lord. Also whoever eats, eats for the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while whoever abstains, abstains for the Lord and gives thanks to God. None of us lives for oneself, and no one dies for oneself. For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; so then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. For this is why Christ died and came to life, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. Why then do you judge your brother? Or you, why do you look down on your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend before me, and every tongue shall give praise to God.” So then each of us shall give an account of himself to God.

I celebrated Holy Mass yesterday morning in honor of Our Blessed Mother and I thanked Her for all that She had done for me. The weather was also wonderful yesterday with plenty of sunshine.

(You will find below the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words.)

“I am always very happy when you offer yourself totally to Me, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in every part of the world. You know that you all belong to Me and at the end I will be the one who will judge you. Come, My brothers and sisters, and live completely for Me and you will also die for Me. It is a fact that some oppose Me and refuse to follow Me but let them know that they will be severely judged on Judgment Day. I will chase them down below but those who followed Me will be called to come with Me to heaven. So live your life on earth as if every day was the last day and so you will put Me first in your life every day. It will help you to avoid sin and to call upon Me often for the help you need. I am always ready to help you if you turn to Me. Love all your brothers and sisters and never look down upon them or judge them. Forgive them any offense they have committed against you. If you forgive others, you can be sure you will be forgiven for your sins. So, My dear friends, you must live every day for Me and when you die you will die for Me. I love you and bless you.”
