The Woman and the Dragon


Dear Friends,

Please read the passage below from the Book of Revelation (12:1-6):

A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth. Then another sign appeared in the sky; it was a huge red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadems. Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky and hurled them down to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth. She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was caught up to God and his throne. The woman herself fled into the desert where she had a place prepared by God, that there she might be taken care of for twelve hundred and sixty days.

As I traveled during the pilgrimage to Europe, I went to many shrines and holy places dedicated to Our Blessed Mother. In some places I stayed and prayed and She gave me a message. These messages are very special and I will put them all in the Newsletter next month. You know that I put out the Newsletter four times a year, one for every season. It you would like to subscribe to the Newsletter, you simply have to write to me and give me your address. The cost of one-year subscription is only $12.00 if you live in Canada and $15.00 if you live in the USA or elsewhere.

I am slowly getting better. The flu is going although I still cough at times and I feel tired even when I get up in the morning. Please say a prayer that it completely goes away and that I can feel normal.

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

“I know you are not feeling all that well, My son Melvin, but you will soon be in good health. I bless you and all My sons and daughters living all over the earth. I wish to warn you about the evil one, Satan who likes to attack people. Without the help of God and without My help you cannot overcome him. He will overcome you. It is therefore very important that you remain in union with My Son, Jesus, and that you pray regularly. You know Satan tried to conquer Jesus, My Son, but he did not succeed. He tried to get Me too and he never managed to get Me. Follow My Son, Jesus, and you too will be able to chase him away. The only reason why Satan attacks you is to get you to reject Your Lord and Savior and to follow his evil ways. There are so many today that are following Satan and you can see this with all the sins that are committed everywhere. I am praying for all of you, who believe in My Son Jesus, that you have the strength to say ‘no’ to him. Pray your rosary every day and ask for the graces you need to fight the good fight. Jesus, My Son, defeated Satan and all those who are with Him will also defeat Satan for My Son has all power. I love you and I bless you.”

Peter Restores Tabitha to Life

Peter Restores Tabitha to Life

Dear Friends,

Please read the passage below from the Acts of the Apostles (9:36-43):

Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translated means Dorcas). She was completely occupied with good deeds and almsgiving. Now during those days she fell sick and died, so after washing her, they laid her out in a room upstairs. Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him with the request, “Please come to us without delay.” So Peter got up and went with them. When he arrived, they took him to the room upstairs where all the widows came to him weeping and showing him the tunics and cloaks that Dorcas had made while she was with them. Peter sent them all out and knelt down and prayed. Then he turned to her body and said, “Tabitha, rise up.” She opened her eyes, saw Peter, and sat up. He gave her his hand and raised her up, and when he had called the holy ones and the widows, he presented her alive. This became known all over Joppa, and many came to believe in the Lord. And he stayed a long time in Joppa with Simon, a tanner.

This is a great healing that Peter brought about in Joppa. This woman was dead and he brought her back to life. Jesus did the same thing with a young girl and the greatest miracle was the resurrection of Lazarus from the tomb. He had been buried for three days and in one word Jesus brought him back to life. When I was in Africa one day I was called to give the Sacrament of the Sick to a very sick woman of 29 years of age who had three children. I gave her the sacrament and all the people of the house expected her to die that night. After I gave her the Sacrament of the Sick, I laid my hands on her and prayed for her healing. The next morning her young brother came to me with a letter from her asking me to go back to the house immediately. I went right away and when I got there this woman was outside weeding her mother’s garden. When she got up that morning she was completely healed. I saw her many times afterwards and she was always in good health. I thank the Lord for this great miracle he did in the midst of the Africans.

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

“I love you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters scattered all over the earth. You are My friends if you believe in Me and follow Me. What a great miracle Peter brought about with My help. He brought back to life this holy woman who had died. She was now in perfect health. I had told the Apostles that they would be able to do all that I did in their midst. I am always there working with them in bringing about these great miracles. It takes faith to be able to have a miracle in your midst. Pray, My dear friends, for all the sick that they may receive a healing. Melvin, you have prayed over my sick people and many have been healed through My power. Continue this great work and it shows you that I am always in your midst to bring about these miracles. I love you and I am always ready to help you.”

Saul’s Baptism

Saul’s Baptism


Dear Friends,

Please read the passage below from the Acts of the Apostles (9:10-19a):

There was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” He answered, “Here I am, Lord.” The Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight and ask at the house of Judas for a man from Tarsus named Saul. He is there praying, and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him, that he may regain his sight.” But Ananias replied, “Lord, I have heard from many sources about this man, what evil things he has done to your holy ones in Jerusalem. And here he has authority from the chief priests to imprison all who call upon your name.” But the Lord said to him, “Go, for this man is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before Gentiles, kings, and Israelites, and I will show him what he will have to suffer for my name.” So Ananias went and entered the house; laying his hands on him, he said, “Saul, my brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus who appeared to you on the way by which you came, that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately things like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. He got up and was baptized, and when he had eaten, he recovered his strength.

It rained yesterday morning but the roads were dried in the evening. We should have more rain tomorrow. I celebrated Holy Mass yesterday morning at the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island, Our Mother of Life. A good number of people took part. Last evening I was at the prayer meeting at our church. There is always a fair number of people who come from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. I am slowly getting over the flu and I hope it will all go away very soon.

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

“I send upon you My peace, love and joy, especially to you, My brother Melvin, and all My brothers and sisters scattered throughout all the countries of the world. When Saul was converted and was baptized Paul, he became My great friend. He was one who never stopped preaching about Me and calling the people to faith and to be baptized. When he was struck down, he was blinded and could not see all the way to Damascus. He was blind for three days but on the third day Ananias, My great disciple, went to visit him and placed his hands on his head and Paul regained his sight. Then soon after that he was baptized. I want all the people of the world to receive baptism because it is necessary in order to enter heaven. Pray, My dear friends, for the conversion of all non-believers especially the Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists. Yes, I want all the people members of My Church founded by Me, and My Church is also called My Mystical Body. Pray too for the unity of all Christians as I prayed before I suffered My Passion and Death. This is a shame that those who call themselves Christians are not all living as members of My Church. I bless you all.”
