The Destruction of the Temple Foretold

The Destruction of the Temple Foretold

Dear Friends,

While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, Jesus said, “All that you see here — the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.” Then they asked him, “Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?” Jesus answered, “See that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and ‘The time has come.’ Do not follow them! When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end.” Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky. (Passage from the Gospel of St. Luke 21:5-11)

I went to the Manor in Alberton yesterday to celebrate Holy Mass for all the Catholics there. The chapel was full. I also visited in their rooms those who could not come to the chapel. Yesterday was the last Mass in the old Manor. On Thursday this week all will go to the New Manor, which is just behind the old one. I will go for an hour of adoration this evening at the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road. There is a full day of adoration at that church every 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 and I have compassion on you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living all over the world. I am always very close to you to help you every day. Before I died on the cross, I foretold that the Temple in Jerusalem would be destroyed completely. This happened in the year 70 when the Roman Army came to Jerusalem and brought down the Temple. This Temple has never been rebuilt. I also gave the people different signs of the end of the world. There will be wars and you will see nation rise against nation and there will be much destruction. I told them that there will be strong earthquakes and there have been many in the last years. There will also be famines in different parts of the world and there will be plagues in different countries. You will also see signs in the sky when the time is near. When you see all this, you will know that the end of the world has arrived.

What must you do to prepare for the end? You must live in union with Me. I am the only One who can save you. Be people of prayer and obey My Church. I wish to remind you to confess your sins regularly and follow the commandments and you will be saved. Know that the world will come to an end but there is another place, much better than the world, where you are called to enter. This place is heaven and all those who enter in will live in great happiness forever. Follow My teachings and one day I will bring you home.”

The Question of the Resurrection

The Question of the Resurrection

Dear Friends,

Some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection, came forward and put this question to Jesus, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us, ‘If someone’s brother dies leaving a wife but no child, his brother must take the wife and raise up descendants for his brother.’ Now there were seven brothers; the first married a woman but died childless. Then the second and the third married her, and likewise all the seven died childless. Finally the woman also died. Now at the resurrection whose wife will that woman be? For all seven had been married to her.” Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and remarry; but those who are deemed worthy to attain to the coming age and to the resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. They can no longer die, for they are like angels; and they are the children of God because they are the ones who will rise. That the dead will rise even Moses made known in the passage about the bush, when he called ‘Lord’ the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.” Some of the scribes said in reply, “Teacher, you have answered well.” And they no longer dared to ask him anything. (Passage from the Gospel of St. Luke 20:27-40)

I was at the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road, yesterday and I concelebrated Holy Mass with the Parish Priest. A large congregation was present. We had another letter from our Bishop who wrote about the proper posture at Mass and importance, like bending ones head before receiving Holy Communion and receiving the Holy Eucharist with devotion. He is preparing the people for the New Liturgy that will begin with the First Sunday of Advent.

(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 all over the world. If you are a follower of Mine and you show your love to God and to your neighbor with acts of love, you will one day be in heaven and at the end of the world your body will rise from the dead. You will then go to heaven with a glorified body to live in happiness forever.

Yes there are some who do not believe in the resurrection. Just think of Me. I died on the cross and I was buried but after three days I came back to life with a glorified body and I appeared on earth for forty days to convince the Apostles that indeed I was risen from the dead. They could touch My glorified body but I could do with My body many things that human beings on earth cannot do. I could go through a wall and enter a house even though the doors were locked. At the end, on the Day of The Ascension, I rose up to heaven in the sight of all the Apostles. I am now in heaven with My body and My soul. I am the first one to rise from the dead. Come follow Me and believe in the resurrection and one day you too will rise from the dead with a glorified body. I bless you all.”

The Parable of the Tenant Farmers

The Parable of the Tenant Farmers

Dear Friends,

Then Jesus proceeded to tell the people this parable. “A man planted a vineyard, leased it to tenant farmers, and then went on a journey for a long time. At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenant farmers to receive some of the produce of the vineyard. But they beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed. So he proceeded to send another servant, but him also they beat and insulted and sent away empty-handed. Then he proceeded to send a third, but this one too they wounded and threw out. The owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I shall send my beloved son; maybe they will respect him.’ But when the tenant farmers saw him they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him that the inheritance may become ours.’ So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What will the owner of the vineyard do to them? He will come and put those tenant farmers to death and turn over the vineyard to others.” When the people heard this, they exclaimed, “Let it not be so!” But he looked at them and asked, “What then does this scripture passage mean: ‘The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’? Everyone who falls on that stone will be dashed to pieces; and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.” The scribes and chief priests sought to lay their hands on him at that very hour, but they feared the people, for they knew that he had addressed this parable to them. (Passage from the Gospel of St. Luke 20:9-19)

This morning I will go to our Parish Church here in Palmer Road, Prince Edward Island, and I will concelebrate Holy Mass with the parish priest as I do often. I will be praying for all of you.

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

“I call you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world, to be part of My Kingdom. It is through Baptism that you enter the Kingdom and you are to follow Me every day and you will be part of My Kingdom for the rest of your life. The Parable of the Tenant Farmers teaches you that God the Father founded the vineyard, which is the Jewish Nation. He had given them laws and decrees, which they were to follow and if they did they would bear fruit. He sent prophets to them to teach them but they did not accept them. At the end He sent Me, His Son, hoping that they would accept Me. Instead though they arrested Me and killed Me. Now what will happen to these people? They were all thrown out of the country and other people came to inhabit it.

Now you, the Gentiles, the non-Jews, are being called to enter My Kingdom. Many have entered and are part of it but there are still many who have not entered the Kingdom of God. Some have entered but now they have left because they refused to follow Me. It is time, My brothers and sisters, for you to come into My Kingdom or to return to it. Open your heart to Me and I will give you the gift of faith you need. I am waiting for you.”
