The Visit of the Shepherds

Dear Friends,

When the angels went away from them to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go, then, to Bethlehem to see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.” So they went in haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this child. All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds. And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them. (Passage from the Gospel of St. Luke 2:15-20)

The Great Feast of Christmas is passed but the season of Christmas will last until the coming of the Magi in January. The Church also celebrates the Octave of Christmas, which will end on January 1, 2012. The Octave means that it is Christmas all this week.

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

“I bless you all who celebrated My great Feast yesterday. Many churches were filled Christmas Eve for the wonderful celebration and many came to Mass the following morning.

The Great Feast of Christmas

Dear Friends,

In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town. And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” (Passage from the Gospel of St. Luke 2:1-14)

I concelebrated Christmas Holy Mass last night at our Parish of the Immaculate Conception, Palmer Road. I will go back again this morning at 11:00 a.m. for the Christmas Day Mass. Many people attended last evening and many will come today. What great joy it is to celebrate this Great Feast of the Birth of Our Savior and Lord. Again I wish you all a Holy and Blessed Christmas and I pray that you open your hearts to the Lord to receive the graces He has for you.

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

“A very special blessing to you, My brother Melvin, and to all My brothers and sisters living in the world. Be filled with joy on this day of My birth. I want you all to relive this great event for this birth of mine becomes present at every Christmas. As I am divine, this feast is eternal and when you attend the celebration at Church, it is the same as if you were right there in Bethlehem when I was born. Indeed this great event becomes present.

Father Melvin

P.S. I wish you all a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year 2012.

The Birth of Jesus

Dear Friends,

Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,” which means “God is with us.” When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home. He had no relations with her until she bore a son, and he named him Jesus.(Passage from the Gospel of Matthew 1:18-25)

This night we will celebrate the birth of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is the Son of God and He came into the world as one of us. God the Father celebrated His birth in a very special way. Although Jesus was born in a cave among animals, the Father sent a choir of angels to sing during that great night. They sang, “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.“ The Father sent a star above Bethlehem and it came down over the cave and lighted the whole area. An angel went to the shepherds and called them to come to Bethlehem to see the newborn child. The greatest event in human history had happened. Indeed God became man.

I wish you all a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year. May the Lord fill you all with His love, peace and joy.

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

“Melvin My son and all My sons and daughters living in every part of the world, you will celebrate this night the birth of Jesus, My Son. You will contemplate this great event in Bethlehem and see Joseph, the baby Jesus and Myself in the cave with the animals. Jesus laid in the manger surrounded by light and very much alive. He came for you all. Here now is a very special message, which Jesus gave Me to give you for this Christmas:

He told Me that all the people who believe in Him would receive an abundance of grace at Christmas in order to bring them all closer to Him. This is a special grace through the Holy Spirit to awaken the people of the world from their slumber. It is time that there be a great renewal in the world. Let those who have little faith receive a great increase of faith and let them offer themselves totally to their Lord and Savior to follow all that He has asked of them. He wants a renewal among the Bishops, the priests and religious and especially among the laity. May the people return to church in great numbers every week and may they leave their sinful ways and live a life of virtue. This is the year, 2012, that I call you all to open your heart to this flood of grace that will come over you. Be filled with cheer as you begin again to walk in the light. I bless you all.”
