Jesus before the Sanhedrin

Dear Friends,

When day came the council of elders of the people met, both chief priests and scribes, and they brought Jesus before their Sanhedrin. They said, “If you are the Messiah, tell us,” but Jesus replied to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe, and if I question, you will not respond. But from this time on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” They all asked, “Are you then the Son of God?” Jesus replied to them, “You say that I am.” Then they said, “What further need have we for testimony? We have heard it from his own mouth.” (Passage from the Gospel of St. Luke 22:66-71)

I celebrated Holy Mass yesterday morning in the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island at 9:30 a.m. and a small group attended. It was cloudy and we were told that we would have snow in the afternoon. The snow started in the evening but we did not have much. Today we will have sunshine.

“I bless you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters spread throughout the world. During My Passion I was taken early on the first Good Friday to stand before the Sanhedrin, the council of elders, and to answer questions. They wanted to know if I was the Messiah, the Savior of the world. I knew they would not believe if I told them I was the Messiah. Then they asked Me another question, ‘Are you the Son of God?’ I answered that I was the Son of God. At that they agreed to bring Me to Pilate and have Me condemned to death.

Peter’s Denial of Jesus

Dear Friends,

After arresting Jesus they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest; Peter was following at a distance. They lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat around it, and Peter sat down with them. When a maid saw him seated in the light, she looked intently at him and said, “This man too was with him.” But Peter denied it saying, “Woman, I do not know him.” A short while later someone else saw him and said, “You too are one of them”; but Peter answered, “My friend, I am not.” About an hour later, still another insisted, “Assuredly, this man too was with him, for he also is a Galilean.” But Peter said, “My friend, I do not know what you are talking about.” Just as he was saying this, the cock crowed, and the Lord turned and looked at Peter; and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the cock crows today, you will deny me three times.” He went out and began to weep bitterly. The men who held Jesus in custody were ridiculing and beating him. They blindfolded him and questioned him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is it that struck you?” And they reviled him in saying many other things against him. (Passage from the Gospel of St. Luke 22:54-65)

I was at Eucharistic Adoration at the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road, last evening for one hour. The Lord spoke to me that something very important is about to happen. I thank him for these words.

“I call you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in the world, to join Me in My Passion. I was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane and taken to the house of the high priest and there I was mocked, beaten and blindfolded.

The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

Dear Friends,

While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd approached and in front was one of the Twelve, a man named Judas. He went up to Jesus to kiss him. Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” His disciples realized what was about to happen, and they asked, “Lord, shall we strike with a sword?” And one of them struck the high priest’s servant and cut off his right ear. But Jesus said in reply, “Stop, no more of this!” Then he touched the servant’s ear and healed him. And Jesus said to the chief priests and temple guards and elders who had come for him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs? Day after day I was with you in the temple area, and you did not seize me; but this is your hour, the time for the power of darkness.” (Passage from the Gospel of St. Luke 22:47-53)

I was at the New Manor in Alberton yesterday afternoon to celebrate Holy Mass with the Catholics living there. A large group attended. I also visited those who were unable to attend and I blessed them and gave them Holy Communion. This evening I will go to the Immaculate Conception Church in Palmer Road for an hour of adoration. The Blessed Sacrament is exposed on the altar for the whole day on Tuesday.

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

“I love you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters scattered throughout the world. It was out of love for all of you that I agreed to be arrested, to suffer and to die on the cross for your salvation. What was so painful for Me was that one of the twelve Apostles betrayed Me to the authorities. Judas had lived with Me for about three years and he had seen all the miracles I had done and he had heard all My teachings, and yet he could betray His Savior.
