The Vision of Peter


Dear Friends,

Please read this passage from the Acts of the Apostles (10:9-16):

The next day, while they were on their way and nearing the city, Peter went up to the roof terrace to pray at about noontime. He was hungry and wished to eat, and while they were making preparations he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and something resembling a large sheet coming down, lowered to the ground by its four corners. In it were all the earth’s four-legged animals and reptiles and the birds of the sky. A voice said to him, “Get up, Peter. Slaughter and eat.” But Peter said, “Certainly not, sir. For never have I eaten anything profane and unclean.” The voice spoke to him again, a second time, “What God has made clean, you are not to call profane.” This happened three times, and then the object was taken up into the sky.

As Jesus spoke to Peter in a vision, He also spoke to me many times. You read about my meeting with Jesus at the age of twelve, the encounter with Jesus in Africa, and now He has something else to tell me. I have had many encounters with Jesus during my life. He has always been close to me and He has always asked something of me.

(Here below are the words of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus gave him this message.)

“I address you again, My brother Melvin, this morning and I bless all My brothers and sisters scattered all over the world. My brother, you made a thirty-day retreat in Jerusalem some years ago and I spoke to you often during those days about the two religious societies. I told you that what is primary in the life of these religious is their relationship with Me. They need to have an intimate and loving relationship with Me and this will come about through prayer and service. This will be expressed in a daily loving relationship with the members and with the people they meet every day. They will take to heart My commandment: Love one another as I have loved you. This will show itself by an active community life, zeal for the Kingdom, perseverance in prayer, loving service, prompt obedience, purity of heart and love for the Church. I call you, My brother, to begin these religious societies as soon as possible. I bless you and all My brothers and sisters.”

The Vision of Cornelius

The Vision of Cornelius

Dear Friends,

Below read the passage from the Acts of the Apostles (10:1-8):

Now in Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of the Cohort called the Italica, devout and God-fearing along with his whole household, who used to give alms generously to the Jewish people and pray to God constantly. One afternoon about three o’clock, he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God come in to him and say to him, “Cornelius.” He looked intently at him and, seized with fear, said, “What is it, sir?” He said to him, “Your prayers and almsgiving have ascended as a memorial offering before God. Now send some men to Joppa and summon one Simon who is called Peter. He is staying with another Simon, a tanner, who has a house by the sea.” When the angel who spoke to him had left, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from his staff, explained everything to them, and sent them to Joppa.

I will have a Healing Mass on Friday, March 2, at the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island starting at 7:30 p.m. We will begin with the rosary at 7:00 p.m. Everybody is welcome.

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

“I continue again today to speak to you, My brother Melvin, and I want you all, My brothers and sisters, to listen to My words. As Cornelius had a visit from heaven, this happens also today. Melvin, My brother, you will remember what happened one early morning at 3:00 a.m. in 1977 in Africa. You had slept very well that night but you woke up at 3:00 a.m. hearing somebody calling you, “Melvin, Melvin.” You looked all around your bedroom but there was nobody there. Then you heard your name called a second time. You answered, “Who is calling me?“ I, Jesus, answered you saying, “I am Jesus who is calling you. Get up right away and come to the parish church and sit before Me in the tabernacle.” You got up, washed and dressed and before 3:30 a.m. you were sitting before the tabernacle. I spoke to you for three hours. I especially told you the state of the world and how bad it would become in the future. I called you to begin two religious societies: the Contemplative Brothers of Jesus and the Contemplative Sisters of Jesus. I spoke to you that they would be partly contemplatives but they would work to evangelize the people wherever they lived. These religious men and women would be blessed in a very special way. I also told you how to instruct them and what they were to follow. I am now waiting, Melvin My brother, that you begin these societies as soon as possible. I bless you, My brother and all My friends.”

The Last Supper


Dear Friends,

Read the passage below from St. Matthew’s Gospel (26:17-19,26-29):

On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples approached Jesus and said, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?” He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The teacher says, “My appointed time draws near; in your house I shall celebrate the Passover with my disciples.”‘” The disciples then did as Jesus had ordered, and prepared the Passover. While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, from now on I shall not drink this fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father.”

I was in New Brunswick yesterday and I got back late last night. Now today it is snowing here and we will have snow of and on during the day.

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

“I address you again, My brother Melvin, and at the same time I greet all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world. My brother, I called you when you were only twelve years old to become a priest and this idea was always with you. Indeed when time came you applied to go to the seminary and you finished all your studies. The great day came on June 22, 1968. On that day I gave you very special graces and you were filled with great joy when you were ordained to the priesthood. I had called you to be a missionary priest in Africa where you spent 29 years. You have been united with Me in a special way through the practice of contemplation. I asked you to write a book about contemplation and you did write it. It is called, ‘The Art of Contemplative Prayer.‘ This is the prayer I love because it builds up a very close union with Me. I call all My friends to learn this prayer. I love you all.”
