End of Paul and his Companions’ First Mission

Dear Friends,

After they had proclaimed the good news to that city and made a considerable number of disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch. They strengthened the spirits of the disciples and exhorted them to persevere in the faith, saying, “It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.” They appointed presbyters for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had put their faith. Then they traveled through Pisidia and reached Pamphylia. After proclaiming the word at Perga they went down to Attalia. From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had now accomplished. And when they arrived, they called the church together and reported what God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. Then they spent no little time with the disciples.

I will celebrate Holy Mass this morning in the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island, the Mother of Life. I will offer this Mass for all those who are inscribed in the Book of Remembrance. Holy Mass is the greatest prayer in the whole world and I am sure when Mass is offered for these people, they get many great graces.

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

“I greet you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living all over the world. I want you all in the Kingdom of God that I established when I was on earth. If you believe in Me and are baptized and follow the Commandments of God, you are truly in My Kingdom. One of the greatest Evangelists of the Church was St. Paul, who traveled throughout the known world of his time to teach the people about Me, their Savior, and to call them to enter My Church. Many people came and were received into My Church.

I want all of you to be evangelists. Do not be afraid to speak to those you meet about Me, your Redeemer, who died on the cross and was raised to life on the third day never to die again. Tell them that I am their only Savior.”

Herod’s Persecution of the Christians

Dear Friends,

About that time King Herod laid hands upon some members of the church to harm them. He had James, the brother of John, killed by the sword, and when he saw that this was pleasing to the Jews he proceeded to arrest Peter also. He had him taken into custody and put in prison under the guard of four squads of four soldiers each. He intended to bring him before the people after Passover. Peter thus was being kept in prison, but prayer by the church was fervently being made to God on his behalf. On the very night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter, secured by double chains, was sleeping between two soldiers, while outside the door guards kept watch on the prison. Suddenly the angel of the Lord stood by him and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and awakened him, saying, “Get up quickly.” The chains fell from his wrists. The angel said to him, “Put on your belt and your sandals.” He did so. Then he said to him, “Put on your cloak and follow me.” So he followed him out, not realizing that what was happening through the angel was real; he thought he was seeing a vision. They passed the first guard, then the second, and came to the iron gate leading out to the city, which opened for them by itself. They emerged and made their way down an alley, and suddenly the angel left him. Then Peter recovered his senses and said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people had been expecting.” When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who is called Mark, where there were many people gathered in prayer. When he knocked on the gateway door, a maid named Rhoda came to answer it. She was so overjoyed when she recognized Peter’s voice that, instead of opening the gate, she ran in and announced that Peter was standing at the gate.

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

“I am always with you, My brother Melvin, and with all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world. I wish to strengthen you to be able to withstand any suffering or persecution that comes your way. Look how I withstood all the suffering at My Passion and at the end had the strength to go through the nailing to the cross until My death. One who suffered much was Peter, the one I chose as head of My Church. Herod wanted to kill him but I could not allow this as Peter had a mission to accomplish so I sent an angel to take him out of the prison. He came out without any trouble and the angel left him when he was out of harm.

The Baptism of Cornelius

Dear Friends,

(Please read the passage below from the Acts of the Apostles (10:44-49):

While Peter was still speaking these things, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the word. The circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit should have been poured out on the Gentiles also, for they could hear them speaking in tongues and glorifying God. Then Peter responded, “Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit even as we have?” He ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they invited him to stay for a few days.

I was at the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road, yesterday morning to concelebrate Holy Mass with the Parish Priest. A good group of people took part. I helped to distribute Holy Communion to the many who came forward. I am praying hard these days that the money for the shrine may come soon. Please pray with me that there will be an opening this week.

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

“May the Holy Spirit fill you again, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living throughout the world. In order to be converted and to have great faith in Me you need to receive the Holy Spirit. I had to return to heaven so the Father and I could send the Holy Spirit upon the world. You read how St. Peter taught these Gentile people who were not yet Christians and while he was speaking, the Holy Spirit was poured upon them and it was just like what happened at Pentecost with the Apostles. Peter then called these people and he baptized them all. 

There are still many people in the world that are not baptized today. I want you all to pray during the year of grace that the Holy Spirit may be poured out on many, many people and they will start to believe in Me. All Christians have received the Holy Spirit when they received the sacraments of Baptism and of Confirmation. So live in the power of the Holy Spirit and you will be blessed. With the power of the Holy Spirit say ‘no’ to the evil one and always ‘yes’ to Me, your Savior. I bless you all.”
