The Victory Song

Dear Friends,

A voice coming from the throne said: “Praise our God, all you his servants, and you who revere him, small and great.” Then I (John) heard something like the sound of a great multitude or the sound of rushing water or mighty peals of thunder, as they said:“Alleluia! The Lord has established his reign, our God, the almighty. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory. For the wedding day of the Lamb has come, his bride has made herself ready. She was allowed to wear a bright, clean linen garment.”Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who have been called to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These words are true; they come from God.” I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t! I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brothers who bear witness to Jesus. Worship God. Witness to Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

I will celebrate Holy Mass this morning at the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island at 9:30 a.m. We had a spring-like day yesterday with all the snow in front of the house gone. Praise the Lord.

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

“I embrace you, My son Melvin, and all My sons and daughters who accept Me as their heavenly Mother. I always join the angels and the saints as they sing their hymn to God the Father and to Jesus, My dear Son. Anyone who enters heaven is, as it were, married to the Lamb who is the Savior of all the people who are in heaven and those who will enter in the days and years to come. I am praying for all of you that you will love your Redeemer all the days of your life. Follow all that He has taught you and be an active member of His Church, the true Church. You will have to suffer at times but do not be afraid, Your Savior is always there to help you. Pray, My dear children, for the conversion of all non-believers and those who have not accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Your prayers are powerful because the Father gives great graces to those for whom you pray. Today there are many adolescents who do not pray and have rejected their Savior. Show them by your actions and your word that you believe in Jesus and you want every person to believe in Him. The good example is important for those who do not practice their faith. May the Lord bless you all.”

Letter of the Apostles

Dear Friends,

Then the apostles and presbyters, in agreement with the whole church, decided to choose representatives and to send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. The ones chosen were Judas, who was called Barsabbas, and Silas, leaders among the brothers. This is the letter delivered by them: “The apostles and the presbyters, your brothers, to the brothers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia of Gentile origin: greetings. Since we have heard that some of our number (who went out) without any mandate from us have upset you with their teachings and disturbed your peace of mind, we have with one accord decided to choose representatives and to send them to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, who have dedicated their lives to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. So we are sending Judas and Silas who will also convey this same message by word of mouth: ‘It is the decision of the Holy Spirit and of us not to place on you any burden beyond these necessities, namely, to abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, from blood, from meats of strangled animals, and from unlawful marriage. If you keep free of these, you will be doing what is right. Farewell.'” And so they were sent on their journey. Upon their arrival in Antioch they called the assembly together and delivered the letter. When the people read it, they were delighted with the exhortation. Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, exhorted and strengthened the brothers with many words. After they had spent some time there, they were sent off with greetings of peace from the brothers to those who had commissioned them. But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming with many others the word of the Lord.

Yesterday we had the warmest day yet. It was 10 degrees Celsius and about half of the snow is gone. There was water everywhere with the melting snow. Spring will soon be here.

(Below you will find 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 is wonderful to receive a letter from the heads of the Church announcing a special decision in the name of the Church. The people of Antioch and others were very pleased to receive the letter from the Apostles and the Presbyters concerning the decision taken with the question of circumcision. It was decided that the non-Jews do not need to be circumcised and to follow the rules of the Mosaic law. They only had to follow what I had told them. It should be the same for you too. When the Church decides a point of dispute such as the liturgy and a letter is written to let everyone know the changes, all should accept it in faith and know that is what I want. It is the same when it comes to the question of abortion. The Church has spoken in My name and all are to follow the true way. Remember, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. I bless you all and I want you to open your hearts to Me.”

The Council of Jerusalem

Dear Friends,

Some who had come down from Judea were instructing the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the Mosaic practice, you cannot be saved.” Because there arose no little dissension and debate by Paul and Barnabas with them, it was decided that Paul, Barnabas, and some of the others should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and presbyters about this question. They were sent on their journey by the church, and passed through Phoenicia and Samaria telling of the conversion of the Gentiles, and brought great joy to all the brothers. When they arrived in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, as well as by the apostles and the presbyters, and they reported what God had done with them. But some from the party of the Pharisees who had become believers stood up and said, “It is necessary to circumcise them and direct them to observe the Mosaic law.” The apostles and the presbyters met together to see about this matter. After much debate had taken place, Peter got up and said to them, “My brothers, you are well aware that from early days God made his choice among you that through my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God, who knows the heart, bore witness by granting them the Holy Spirit just as he did us. He made no distinction between us and them, for by faith he purified their hearts. Why, then, are you now putting God to the test by placing on the shoulders of the disciples a yoke that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear? On the contrary, we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they.” The whole assembly fell silent, and they listened while Paul and Barnabas described the signs and wonders God had worked among the Gentiles through them.

I celebrated Holy Mass at the Little Shrine yesterday morning and in the evening I was at the prayer meeting at our church. A good group came to both.

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

“I love you, My brother Melvin, and all My brothers and sisters scattered over the whole earth. Some of you are suffering because of persecution, drought and earthly upheavals. Do not worry but remain close to Me and I will help you. The first Council of the Church was held at Jerusalem while the Apostles were still living. The big problem was this: should the Gentiles who wished to become Christians be circumcised before they are baptized. Some of the Jews were pushing that all be circumcised. However, with the power of the Holy Spirit St. Peter and the other Apostles decided that there would be no circumcision for the Gentiles as it was not necessary. So since that day this question never came up again. Yes, My Church has gathered many times in the past to decide on pressing questions. I was there to help them come to the right decision. All My followers are to follow the decisions of these councils for they came from Me through the Holy Spirit. I bless you all.”
