Mutual Love


Dear Friends,

A reading from the Letter of St. Paul to the Romans (12:9-21):

Let love be sincere; hate what is evil, hold on to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; anticipate one another in showing honor. Do not grow slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the holy ones, exercise hospitality. Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Have the same regard for one another; do not be haughty but associate with the lowly; do not be wise in your own estimation. Do not repay anyone evil for evil; be concerned for what is noble in the sight of all. If possible, on your part, live at peace with all. Beloved, do not look for revenge but leave room for the wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” Rather, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head.” Do not be conquered by evil but conquer evil with good.

I thank the Lord for the nice day we had yesterday. It was cloudy in the morning but by noon the sun was shining and it became nice and warm. We should have the same weather today.

(Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words.)

“I love you, My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters living in the world. How beautiful the world would be if every person loved his brothers and sisters. Great peace and joy would fill the world. There would no longer be any killings, no wars, no division, no slander and no anger. St. Paul in his letter to the Romans calls us to mutual love. In loving in this manner, you will be following My Son, Jesus, who is always full of love for all of you. I am your Mother and I love you all as a mother loves her children. I never stop interceding for each one of you before My Son, Jesus. You must not hate anyone but do good to every person. Help those in need and you will be blessed. I love you all and I am calling you to come and follow My Son, Jesus, and to imitate Him.”

God’s Irrevocable Call

God’s Irrevocable Call


Dear Friends,

Please read these words of St. Paul from his Letter to the Romans (11:25-36):

I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not become wise in your own estimation: a hardening has come upon Israel in part, until the full number of the Gentiles comes in, and thus all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The deliverer will come out of Zion, he will turn away godlessness from Jacob; and this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” In respect to the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but in respect to election, they are beloved because of the patriarchs. For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable. Just as you once disobeyed God but have now received mercy because of their disobedience, so they have now disobeyed in order that, by virtue of the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy. For God delivered all to disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all. Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments and how unsearchable his ways! “For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been his counselor?” “Or who has given him anything that he may be repaid?” For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

It was cloudy yesterday but we did not get any rain; and it is still cloudy this morning but there is no rain. I hope the sun will come out today.

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

“I have mercy on you, My brother Melvin and on all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world. I was born in Israel and the Jews were the first ones to be called to enter My Kingdom. You know that they rejected Me. I was arrested and condemned to death and they nailed Me to the cross where I died in horrible suffering, but after three days I came back to life never to die again. My Passion and Death was to redeem you all and bring you into the Kingdom of heaven if you believe in Me. As the Jews rejected Me, so it was the chance for the Gentiles to answer My call and enter My Church. After the Gentiles have come in, then the Jews will be saved. Yes, My mercy will triumph. All have disobeyed God so that the Father could show mercy upon all. Now is the time for all non-Jews to come forward to believe in Me, their Savior. Come and enter My Church and be an active member of it. It is as a member of My Church that you will be saved. Now is the time of mercy, the time to repent of your sins and to receive mercy. I am your friend and My arms are wide opened, so come and you will not be disappointed. Let us have a deep friendship and spend time in prayer every day and our relationship will grow daily. I love you and I bless you all.”

Mary Visits Elizabeth

Mary Visits Elizabeth

Dear Friends,

Please read the passage below from the Gospel of St. Luke (1:39-56):

During those days Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.” And Mary said: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid’s lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him. He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart. He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly. The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.” Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home.

Today is the great day of Our Blessed Mother’s visit to her cousin Elisabeth. Zechariah and Elizabeth lived in a small town called Ein Karem not very far from Jerusalem. I had the joy to go there when I was in Israel last December.

(Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,)

“I greet you, My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters scattered all over the world. My Son, Jesus, gave Me to you to be your Mother just before He died on the cross. When the Angel Gabriel came to Me to announce that I would be the Mother of the Savior, the Son of God, he also told Me that My cousin Elizabeth was with child. That is why I decided to go and visit her and stay with her to help her during this difficult time.

Elizabeth’s reaction to My greetings shows that she was filled with the Holy Spirit. The child in her womb, and this child is John the Baptist, leaped when he heard My voice, and his mother Elizabeth prophesied saying, ‘Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.’ My Son, Jesus, who was conceived not long before influenced both the mother and the unborn child. This is proof that there is a human being as soon as the child is conceived and that child has to be respected and he has the right to life. In answer to Elizabeth, I sang the Magnificat, a canticle inspired by the Holy Spirit. I ask you all to pray this canticle every day. I bless you all.”
