God’s Love in Christ

Dear Friends,

Please read these words of St. Paul from his Letter to the Romans (8:28-39):

We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. For those he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined he also called; and those he called he also justified; and those he justified he also glorified. What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but handed him over for us all, how will he not also give us everything else along with him? Who will bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who acquits us. Who will condemn? It is Christ Jesus who died, rather, was raised, who also is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? As it is written: “For your sake we are being slain all the day; we are looked upon as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

It was cloudy yesterday but we did not get much rain, just a little bit. It will rain today and the farmers will surely be happy as the soil is very dry. I went to Eucharistic Adoration last evening for one hour. It is a joy for me to be with Jesus in the Eucharist.

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

“My heart is full of love for you, My brother Melvin and for all My brothers and sisters living in the world. I came into the world for you to show you the Father’s love and to teach you how you should live as the children of the Father. You were all separated from the Father because of sin. There was no way you could go to heaven. I had to come to earth as a human being to suffer and die for you to pay the price for your sins. What is sin? Sin is an offense against God and those who live in mortal sin deserve to go to Hell. I came and through My sacrifice on the cross the Father could have mercy on you and if you repent of your sins He will remove them all. So through My sacrifice on the cross, I opened heaven for all those who repent and believe in Me.

It was indeed out of love for each one of you that I went through all that suffering. I was killed but I had not done anything wrong. I had taken upon Myself all your sins. The sentence for sin is death so I died instead of you so you could become the loving children of the Father and My dear brothers and sisters. Come and follow Me every day. Be men and women who forgive all those who sin against them. In this way you follow Me. I call you all to come now and accept Me as your Savior who loves you. I bless you all.

Destiny of Glory

Destiny of Glory

Dear Friends,

Please read the passage below from the Letter to the Romans 8:18-27); St Paul wrote:

I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us. For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God; for creation was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but because of the one who subjected it, in hope that creation itself would be set free from slavery to corruption and share in the glorious freedom of the children of God. We know that all creation is groaning in labor pains even until now; and not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, we also groan within ourselves as we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. For in hope we were saved. Now hope that sees for itself is not hope. For who hopes for what one sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait with endurance. In the same way, the Spirit too comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes with inexpressible groanings. And the one who searches hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because it intercedes for the holy ones according to God’s will.

What a beautiful warm day we had yesterday; it was sunny the whole day. We should have more sun again today. I am getting better but at times I start coughing again and I am afraid that the flu is coming back. Please pray that this is not the case. I went to Summerside yesterday to visit some people who needed prayers. I pray that the Lord will help them.

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

“May you be filled with hope, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters scattered all over the world. There are many people today who have discarded the hope I gave them. As you know, hope is a gift from your Lord to help you live in expectation of all that I have promised you. Yes, I have promised you the glory of heaven if you follow all that I have told you. Pray then and open your heart to receive this gift from Me. Exercise your hope every day. You were all created for a special destiny and if you do not reach this destiny you have wasted your life on earth. In order to achieve your destiny you need to work together with Me. You know on your own you cannot do anything good. You need My help and I am willing to give you all the help you need if you ask Me. Those who have hope can face any problem, any sickness, any deception or any mistake they have done. They also can face any danger without fear, knowing that I am with them to help them do what they normally cannot do. Exercise, My friends, every day your faith, hope and love and you will not fail to achieve your destiny, which is union with Me in heaven forever. It will be My joy to receive you in your heavenly home one day. I bless you all.”

The Flesh and the Spirit

The Flesh and the Spirit


Dear Friends,

Please read the passage below from the Letter to the Romans (8:1-13); St. Paul wrote:

Hence, now there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed you from the law of sin and death. For what the law, weakened by the flesh, was powerless to do, this God has done: by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for the sake of sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, so that the righteous decree of the law might be fulfilled in us, who live not according to the flesh but according to the spirit. For those who live according to the flesh are concerned with the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the spirit with the things of the spirit. The concern of the flesh is death, but the concern of the spirit is life and peace. For the concern of the flesh is hostility toward God; it does not submit to the law of God, nor can it; and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is alive because of righteousness. If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you. Consequently, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

I pray that you all had a wonderful Feast of Pentecost. It was a great day for me with many gifts from the Holy Spirit.

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

“You were blessed by the Holy Spirit, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world. Open your hearts to Him every day and He will fill you with His strength and life.

There are two roads you can follow: the road of the flesh or the road of the Spirit. The flesh will keep your minds and hearts glued to the things of this world. You will be looking for worldly things to satisfy your bodily appetites. Some go for alcohol, others for drugs, others for money, others for sex, others for worldly fame, etc. These things cannot bring you happiness only a bit of pleasure for a short time and then depression.

However, if you follow the way of the Spirit, He will fill you with His strength to say ‘no’ to anything evil and ‘yes’ to the things of God. You will love to help the sick, the infirm, the poor, the young and all those in need. You will be ready to help them without asking for anything. You will be a person of prayer who loves to live in union with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. You will be blessed with love and peace, gifts which only God can bring you. I bless you all.”
