The Report of the Guard

The Report of the Guard

Dear Friends,

While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had happened. They assembled with the elders and took counsel; then they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him while we were asleep.’ And if this gets to the ears of the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has circulated among the Jews to the present day. (Passage from the Gospel of St. Matthew 28:11-15)

I celebrated Holy Mass yesterday morning in the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island and a nice little group showed up. In the evening I was at the prayer meeting at the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road, and a rather small group turned up.

Many people are writing to me or sending money via Money Gram to put their names and the names of their families in the Book of Remembrance. You know that two Holy Masses a week are celebrated for those inscribed in the book and these Masses will be offered for a full year. It only costs $15.00 to inscribe a person in the book for a full year. Rosaries are also prayed for those written in the book and there are many others prayers offered for them. Just send a letter with the names and the money to the following address: Father Melvin Doucette / 1704 Palmer Road, R.R. 2 / Tignish, PE  C0B 2B0 / Canada.

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

“I love you, My brother Melvin, and all My brothers and sisters living in every country in the world. You believe that I rose from the dead after three days in the grave. The soldiers believed too as they saw Me coming out of the tomb. These Jewish soldiers were so afraid that they ran from the place and went to town or to their homes. Some told the high priest and his councilors all that had happened but they were urged to tell the peoples the lie that the Apostles had come to take the body away while they were sleeping. No, the fact is that I came back to life with all power and strength and I am the King of the world. I have all power to help you to get to heaven if you say ‘yes’ to Me. I bless you all.”

Father Melvin

PS  The next message will be on Monday.

The Resurrection of Jesus

The Resurrection of Jesus

Dear Friends,

After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, approached, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. His appearance was like lightning and his clothing was white as snow. The guards were shaken with fear of him and became like dead men. Then the angel said to the women in reply, “Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you.” Then they went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, and ran to announce this to his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them. They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.” (Passage from the Gospel of St. Matthew 28:1-10)

I will celebrate Holy Mass this morning at 9:30 a.m. at the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island. In the evening I will be at the prayer meeting at our church. I must let you know that I will be leaving this Friday morning for the Trappist Monastery in Rogersville, New Brunswick, to give a three-day retreat. And on October 10, I will leave for the Province of Quebec.

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

“I bless you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters scattered all over the world. I am the resurrected One who was crucified and died on the cross and was buried but on the third day I rose from the dead as it is written in the Gospels. I am fully alive never to die again. I am your Friend as well as your Lord and Savior. I am the founder of the Kingdom of God and the head of the Church I founded upon the Apostles. I want the redemption of every person in the world. Come and believe in Me and act according to My teachings. Then indeed you will be with Me on earth every day and one day you will be united with Me in heaven.”

Visit to Avila, Spain

Visit to Avila, Spain

Dear Friends,

During our last full day in Europe, we traveled from Fatima, Portugal, to Avila in Spain. Avila is a beautiful old town about one hour and a half from Madrid. It still has a very beautiful wall surrounding the old city, which is situated on a hill. We visited the old part of Avila before we went to the old convent where St. Teresa lived. St. Teresa of Avila lived in this small town during the Middle Ages. She was a mystic who had visions and who contemplated every day. She wrote books on contemplation and she is the one who reformed the Carmelite Order with the help of St. John of the Cross.

We visited a good part of the big convent and saw the room where she lived for a good part of the day and slept at night. We saw the dining room and the room where the sisters worked. Everything is kept as it was when St. Teresa was living.

When there, I prayed to St. Teresa that the Catholic Church would embrace contemplative prayer and teach this lovely prayer to the Catholics everywhere. It is a wonderful way to have a close and intimate relationship with Jesus, Our Lord and Savior. I began contemplating over 30 years ago and I can tell you that it is not a difficult prayer to learn and through this prayer one comes to love Our Lord with all his or her heart. You become His great friend and He blesses you with many gifts and graces.

As I contemplated today Jesus gave me these words,

“I love you, My brother Melvin, and I am so happy that you were able to go on this pilgrimage to Europe and visit many holy places in the many countries you visited. You visited My shrine under the title ‘Divine Mercy’ in Krakow; anyone who goes to this shrine receives special gifts from Me. I call you all, My brothers and sisters, to pray the chaplet of Divine Mercy every day. Pray for all the people that they repent of their sins so that they may receive My mercy. I call you all too to trust in Me for I am Your Savior who suffered and died on the cross to save you. Ask Me for what you need and I will give it to you. Melvin, My brother, you visited many shrines of My Blessed Mother and your Mother. She wants the conversion of all the people of the world. Become men and women of prayer like Her and you will be blessed.”

Father Melvin
