Grace and Life through Christ


Dear Friends,

Please read these words of St. Paul taken from his Letter to the Romans (5:15-21):

But the gift is not like the transgression. For if by that one person’s transgression the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one person Jesus Christ overflow for the many. And the gift is not like the result of the one person’s sinning. For after one sin there was the judgment that brought condemnation; but the gift, after many transgressions, brought acquittal. For if, by the transgression of one person, death came to reign through that one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of justification come to reign in life through the one person Jesus Christ. In conclusion, just as through one transgression condemnation came upon all, so through one righteous act acquittal and life came to all. For just as through the disobedience of one person the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of one the many will be made righteous. The law entered in so that transgression might increase but, where sin increased, grace overflowed all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through justification for eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

It rained yesterday morning but the sky cleared in the afternoon and the sun came out. We will have a nice day today. Last evening I was at the prayer meeting at our church and a good group came. We praised the Lord for all that He is doing in our lives and we asked again for the Holy Spirit, as the Feast of Pentecost is very near. We celebrate this feast on Sunday, in just three days.

(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 all over the world. Through My great sacrifice on the cross I was able to win, for all those who believe in Me, the graces and strength you need to live close to Me. Where sin increases in the world, My grace increases all the more. I want every person in the world to come out of the dungeon of death caused by sin to the bright sunshine in My presence caused by the powerful graces I give you. Through the graces I give you, you can repent of your sins and have them all removed so you will be justified and come to live with Me for all eternity.

I am the one who brought you real life and not just a false thing, which the evil one gives you and the world is not better. The world thinks that what will make you happy and full of joy is material things. No material things can satisfy any human being. The great desire of your heart is to receive the life that comes from Me. Only My life can satisfy you and bring you joy and happiness. So, My dear friends, remain with Me and the empty hole in your heart will be filled. You were created by God with this hole in your heart and only your God can fill that space. Come then and believe in Me with all your heart and let us walk together every day holding hands and be filled with love and peace.”

Faith, Hope and Love


Dear Friends,

Please read the passage below from the Letter of St. Paul to the Romans (Chapter 5:1-11):

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope, and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. For Christ, while we were still helpless, yet died at the appointed time for the ungodly. Indeed, only with difficulty does one die for a just person, though perhaps for a good person one might even find courage to die. But God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. How much more then, since we are now justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath. Indeed, if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, once reconciled, will we be saved by his life. Not only that, but we also boast of God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

I thank the Lord for another beautiful day yesterday. It was sunny all day and the temperature surpassed 20 degrees Celsius. Today we will have some rain and that will make the farmers happy. The soil is very dry these days. Many have already planted their potatoes and others are getting their gardens ready. What a wonderful spring we are having this year.

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

“I bless you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in every part of the world, with the wonderful gifts of faith, hope and love. These are wonderful gifts, which I am willing to give to anyone who asks for them. Faith is a great gift from God by which you come to believe in God the Father, Creator of heaven and earth, and to believe in Me, His Son Jesus Christ, who was born of the Virgin Mary and lived on earth to establish His Church and teach His Apostles. At the end I gave Myself totally to God by dying on the cross in sacrifice for the sins of the world. After three days I rose again and appeared to the Apostles for forty days and then ascended into heaven at the Ascension. You also believe in the Holy Spirit who came on earth at Pentecost sent by the Father and by Me, His Son. He is the Spirit of holiness. You will believe all that I have taught you through the Apostles and this deposit of faith is well guarded by My Church and She will instruct the faithful until the end of time.

God also gives the gift of hope by which we desire the Kingdom of God and eternal life, placing our trust in God’s promises. Love is also a great virtue by which you love God above all things for His own sake and your neighbors as yourselves for the love of God.”

God’s Just Judgment

God’s Just Judgment


Dear Friends,

Please read the passage below from one of Paul’s Letters to the Romans (2:1-11):

Therefore, you are without excuse, every one of you who passes judgment. For by the standard by which you judge another you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the very same things. We know that the judgment of God on those who do such things is true. Do you suppose, then, you who judge those who engage in such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you hold his priceless kindness, forbearance, and patience in low esteem, unaware that the kindness of God would lead you to repentance? By your stubbornness and impenitent heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself for the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgment of God, who will repay everyone according to his works: eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality through perseverance in good works, but wrath and fury to those who selfishly disobey the truth and obey wickedness. Yes, affliction and distress will come upon every human being who does evil, Jew first and then Greek. But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, Jew first and then Greek. There is no partiality with God.

I thank the Lord again for the beautiful day we had here yesterday. It was sunny and warm the whole day. I am preparing the Newsletter for the summer season. This is already the third one for this year. I have been working during the last few days on the accounts of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island Inc. I hope to bring them in sometime tomorrow. I still feel weak although my cough is gone and I hope it does not come back. I am taking vitamin pills to help me get strong again.

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

“I have mercy on you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in the world. My love and mercy will have no end. Just come to Me and open your heart and I will fill it. My great friend, St. Paul, had a very special relationship with Me after his conversion and it was more intense as the years went by. He knew that My judgment was just for I know better than anyone what is in the heart of every person. Many judge others but they cannot read the hearts of their neighbours. They only see from the outside but I can look and see the interior of a person and know exactly what is going on. I tell you, My friends, do not judge your neighbour because if you do, you will be judged in the same way. If you see something that is not right, pray for that person that he or she may change his or her ways. It is through prayer that you can help that person who is in need. Offer yourself up to Me with all your difficulties and I will give you rest. I can bring you peace, which no one can do. Today many are in need of My peace but they do not ask for it. How many times is it written: ask and you will receive. I am always ready to help you. Come and spend time with Me especially in contemplative prayer and you will receive many graces to help you in your daily life. I love you and bless you.”
