Jesus: A Cause of Division

The Lord replied: “I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing! There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three; a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”(Passage from the Gospel of St. Luke 12:42a,49-53)
 

Dear Friends, 

I am almost finished sending out the Our Lady of Prince Edward Island Newsletter, in English as in French. In the Newsletter I always include the messages of Our Blessed Mother which She gives me during Her apparitions of December 14 and March 25 of each year. In this bulletin I have included a message from Her, which I received in Jerusalem on December 8 last. If anybody would like to subscribe to the Newsletter called “Heaven’’s Voice” you will have to write to me and include your name and address and the money for the subscription for one year. I send out this Newsletter four times a year; the cost is $12.00 for Canada and $15.00 for anyone who lives outside of Canada. The hundreds who are subscribed will soon receive their copy. 

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

Open your hearts, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters scattered all over the world. This year 2012 will be an intense year and I can tell you that I have already lit the fire and it has started spreading all over. This fire is a powerful grace that I announced at the beginning of the year. It is a grace that is greatly needed by many people today. Many people will be turned around and will come to believe in Me, who did not believe before. Others will change their ways and will become more spiritual. They will begin to pray and to go to church. Yes, at times this grace will cause division but do not worry about that. Come, My friends, open your hearts to Me and come and follow Me.”

Vigilant and Faithful Servants

Thursday, January 12, 2012

Vigilant and Faithful Servants

Jesus said to his disciples, Gird your loins and light your lamps and be like servants who await their master’s return from a wedding, ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival. Amen, I say to you, he will gird himself, have them recline at table, and proceed to wait on them. And should he come in the second or third watch and find them prepared in this way, blessed are those servants. Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.” Then Peter said, “Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone?” And the Lord replied, “Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the master will put in charge of his servants to distribute the food allowance at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival finds doing so. Truly, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property. But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat and drink and get drunk, then that servant’s master will come on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour and will punish him severely and assign him a place with the unfaithful. (Passage from the Gospel of St. Luke 12:22a,35-46)

Dear Friends,

I celebrated Holy Mass yesterday morning at the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island at 9:30 a.m. In the evening I went to the prayer meeting at our Parish Church to pray for an hour. A good group attended and took active part in the various parts of the prayer meeting.

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

“It is with joy that I greet you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who believe in Me and are faithful to Me. There are so many today who have stopped believing in Me and most often it is because they are led by the evil one to do what is a great offense against the Father and against Me. How many people today have stopped going to church because they are living together man and woman but they did not receive the sacrament of marriage. It is the same with those who have started to drink heavily or to take drugs. These things have become their gods and they have rejected Me who suffered and died on the cross to bring them out of darkness and into the light so they could live in peace, love and joy with Me forever.

I desire faithful brothers and sisters who are always turned toward Me and who call on Me often during the day for the graces they need to overcome the opposition they come across to do good. You need My help if you are to continue to be faithful as a follower of mine. I bless you all.”

Dependence on God

Wednesday, January 11, 2012

Dependence on God

Jesus said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life and what you will eat, or about your body and what you will wear. For life is more than food and the body more than clothing. Notice the ravens: they do not sow or reap; they have neither storehouse nor barn, yet God feeds them. How much more important are you than birds! Can any of you by worrying add a moment to your lifespan? If even the smallest things are beyond your control, why are you anxious about the rest? Notice how the flowers grow. They do not toil or spin. But I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of them. If God so clothes the grass in the field that grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith? As for you, do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, and do not worry anymore. All the nations of the world seek for these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these other things will be given you besides. Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your belongings and give alms. Provide money bags for yourselves that do not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven that no thief can reach nor moth destroy. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.” (Passage from the Gospel of St. Luke 12:22-34)

Dear Friends,

Every day people are writing to me to enter names in the Book of Remembrance. They send me $15.00 for each person they wish to enter in the book. Those enrolled in the book are offered two Masses a week for a whole year, which means 104 Masses are offered for them. There are also rosaries and other prayers offered for them. I receive letters often letting me know the changes that have taken place in those people who are written in the book.

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

“It is because I love you that I want to help you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world. There are so many people who are worrying these days. They worry about food, about clothes to wear, about their vacation if they will have money to travel, etc. Some are not satisfied with the material things they have. They always want more.

My dear brothers and sisters, what is important is to belong to the Kingdom of God. Live in love and peace in the Kingdom the Father wants to give you. If you live in the Kingdom every day, the Father will give you all you need. So do not worry about the material things of the world but put your heart in God’s Kingdom. The Father takes care of all the animals and birds, He will also take care of you for you are of greater worth than all the animals and birds. I have come into the world to call you to enter the Kingdom and not to worry anymore. Come walk with Me and I will lead you to the promise land. I love you all.”
