The Ascension of Jesus

Dear Friends,

Please read the passage below from the Acts of the Apostles (1: 6-12):

When the Apostles had gathered together they asked Jesus, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” He answered them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight. While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them. They said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.” Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.

Here I continue my report on the pilgrimage to Europe. On April 20^th, we left St. Padre Pio’s area in Italy at 8:00 a.m. and made our way to Lanciano to a church where a Eucharistic Miracle took place. We got there around 10:00 a.m. and we visited the church. We prayed at the place of the miracle where we can still see the host that turned to flesh and the blood that has now five globs of blood. This miracle happened in the 8^th century while a priest was celebrating Holy Mass and he had doubts whether Jesus was truly present in the host after consecration. Immediately the large host turned into flesh and in the chalice globs of blood were seen. We see the same thing today. I celebrated Holy Mass right where the miracle took place.

After Lanciano we traveled to Loreto to see the home of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, that was taken from Nazareth. The house is inside the Cathedral Church of Loreto. I entered the Holy House and prayed inside. Around 5:00 p.m. we left for Ancona and the wharf where we boarded a big ship to cross the Adriatic Sea overnight. In the morning we were at Split, Croatia. We arrived there at 7:30 a.m. I will continue the trip tomorrow.

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

“Be filled with joy, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living all over the earth. I fill you with joy because I wish to explain to you the great day of My Ascension into heaven. The Apostles came with Me to the Mount called Olivet and it was there that I spoke to them and then I was lifted up and went to heaven. I went back to heaven where I am forever at the right hand of My Father. Two angels appeared to the Apostles after I was gone to tell them that I would return the same way at the end of the world. 

My dear brothers and sisters, I was the first to leave the world and to enter heaven body and soul, and all of you who believe in Me and follow Me will go to heaven in the very same way when I come back to take you with Me. I call you again to be My friends who love Me and offer yourselves to Me to do the will of the Father. I bless you all.”

The Beloved Disciple

Dear Friends,

Please read the passage below from the Gospel of St. John (21: 20-25):

Peter turned and saw the disciple following whom Jesus loved, the one who had also reclined upon his chest during the supper and had said, “Master, who is the one who will betray you?” When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about him?” Jesus said to him, “What if I want him to remain until I come? What concern is it of yours? You follow me.” So the word spread among the brothers that that disciple would not die. But Jesus had not told him that he would not die, just “What if I want him to remain until I come? What concern is it of yours?” It is this disciple who testifies to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true. There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.

The Papal audience: There was a lot of noise where I was sitting so it was difficult to understand at least some of what the Pope was saying. After the blessing of the Pope, we left the square and went to a restaurant for something to eat. After our meal we went to visit the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the Cathedral of the Pope. Then we went across the street to the Holy Stairs where I celebrated Holy Mass in one of the chapels with the group. After Mass we went to visit the beautiful Basilica known as St. Mary Major. After this visit and prayers we left for our hotel. We had supper around 7:30 p.m. and then I went to my room for some prayers and for a good sleep.

The next morning we had breakfast at 7:00 a.m. and left our hotel at about 8:00 a.m. We traveled to the grand Basilica of St. Paul outside the Walls; here is where St. Paul is buried. I celebrated Holy Mass there in one of the chapels and then we left for the south of Italy to a town known as San Giovanni Rotondo, where St. Padre Pio lived and died. He is buried in the brand new church built in his honor. I will continue my report on this pilgrimage tomorrow.

(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 all over the world. My love for you will never diminish. You are all so dear to Me. You know how I loved My Apostles even though at times they were slow to understand. The beloved one was St. John who loved to sit near Me. He was the youngest of the Apostles who had such great faith and he was full of love for Me and for all his brothers and sisters. As I loved St. John, I also love you and I want you to remain closely united to Me. What increases your love for Me is prayer. Come, My friends, and spend time in contemplation with Me like the Apostles used to do. I will fill you with My light and flood you with all the graces you need. I am calling you to take My hand every day and I will protect you. You are mine.”

Jesus and Peter

Dear Friends,

Please read the passage below from the Gospel of St. John (21:15-19):

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” He then said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

I will now continue my report on the pilgrimage to Europe. On Monday evening, April 16, we slept near the city of Padua in the north of Italy. The next morning we went to visit the Shrine to St. Anthony and we prayed at his tomb. I celebrated Holy Mass in one of the chapels of the shrine. We left the shrine around 10:30 a.m. for the city of Rome and we went to our hotel in the little town called Fiuggi outside of Rome. We stayed in this hotel for three days.

(You will find below the message of Our Lord and Savior 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 country of the world. It was after My resurrection that I spoke to the Apostle Peter. I asked him three times if he loved me. He answered positively every time. You know that Peter denied Me three times after I was arrested. In order to wipe those sins away, I put the same question to him three times. By his answers he was freed from his sins. 

I call you all to repent of your sins. You are all sinners and so you need to receive the Sacrament of Confession regularly. Through this sacrament of the Church, I absolve you from your sins with the help of the priest. Receive this sacrament at least once a month and you will receive the graces you need to do better in the future. I love you.”
