The Judgment of the Nations

The Judgment of the Nations

Dear Friends,

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.’ Then the righteous will answer him and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?’ And the king will say to them in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’ Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, a stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.’ Then they will answer and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?’ He will answer them, ‘Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.’ And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.” (Words of Jesus from the Gospel of St. Matthew 25:31-46)

I wish to remind you again that the English Retreat starts on August 16 at 2:00 p.m. and ends on August 18 at noon. All are welcome.

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 living in every country of the world. You will all be present at the Last Judgment in Jerusalem. There will be two groups: one on My right and another on My left. I sincerely hope that you will be on My right because those will go with Me to heaven forever. Those on My left will be sent to the hell of fire. The reason why some will go to heaven is this: when they were on earth they loved God and they loved their neighbor. In loving their neighbor, they helped them in every difficulty they had. They loved the Father by going to church regularly and praying regularly at home. Those who will go to hell fire are these people who refused to show any love for their neighbors. They were full of themselves and they only cared about themselves. They never even gave a glass of water to those who were thirsty. They refused to believe in Me and they never went to church or prayed. In fact they followed the evil one every day of their life. So they will spend eternity with Satan. I want you to cooperate with Me and come to heaven with Me.”

The Parable of the Talents

Thursday, August 11, 2011

The Parable of the Talents

Dear Friends,

“It will be as when a man who was going on a journey called in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them. To one he gave five talents; to another, two; to a third, one – to each according to his ability. Then he went away. Immediately the one who received five talents went and traded with them, and made another five. Likewise, the one who received two made another two. But the man who received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and buried his master’s money. After a long time the master of those servants came back and settled accounts with them. The one who had received five talents came forward bringing the additional five. He said, ‘Master, you gave me five talents. See, I have made five more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master’s joy.’ Then the one who had received two talents also came forward and said, ‘Master, you gave me two talents. See, I have made two more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master’s joy.’ Then the one who had received the one talent came forward and said, ‘Master, I knew you were a demanding person, harvesting where you did not plant and gathering where you did not scatter; so out of fear I went off and buried your talent in the ground. Here it is back.’ His master said to him in reply, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I did not plant and gather where I did not scatter? Should you not then have put my money in the bank so that I could have got it back with interest on my return? Now then! Take the talent from him and give it to the one with ten. (Parable of Jesus: St. Matthew 25:14-28)

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

“I greet you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in all the continents of the world. I have given you all special gifts like the talents, which the men received as told in the parable. Let me tell you some of the gifts you have received: you have received eyes to see, ears to hear, a mouth to speak, a nose to smell, an intellect to be able to think, a will to decide, and many others. In addition some have received the gift of singing, playing instruments, painting, playing all kinds of sports; some are intellectuals, teachers and others are called to the church. Each one of you has received many gifts but the big question is: how have you used the gifts I have given you? Did you use them for doing good? Did you glorify God with your gifts? At the end of the world you will be asked what you did with all the gifts you were given.

Did you use your eyes to look at good things and not something evil? Do you use your ears to listen to something that is good and not evil? Did you use your mouth to speak well of people or evil things? Did you use your hands to do evil like killing someone or hurting a person? You will have to examine what you did with those gifts. If you have used them for evil, you have offended God. I love you and I want you to do good.”

The Parable of the Ten Virgins

The Parable of the Ten Virgins

Dear Friends,

Jesus said to them in reply, “… Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones, when taking their lamps, brought no oil with them, but the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps. Since the bridegroom was long delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep. At midnight, there was a cry, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise ones replied, ‘No, for there may not be enough for us and you. Go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.’ While they went off to buy it, the bridegroom came and those who were ready went into the wedding feast with him. Then the door was locked. Afterwards the other virgins came and said, ‘Lord, Lord, open the door for us!’ But he said in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.’ Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour. (Passage from the Gospel of St. Matthew 24:4a; 25:1-13)

I will soon have to start writing the Newsletter of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island. I hope it will be prepared before I leave for Europe on September 6, 2011. Many of you have paid your subscription but there are still a good number who have not paid. I urge you to pay this small amount before the next Newsletter is ready. I am getting ready for the English retreat that will begin next week on Tuesday, August 16, at 2:00 p.m.

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

“Be wise My loved ones as I greet you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters scattered all over the world. Be wise, My friends, like the five wise virgins. They were ready for all eventualities. You too must open your heart to receive all the graces and gifts you need for whatever will happen in the future. You need a strong faith and to be faithful to your prayers every day especially the praying of the rosary, going to Holy Mass regularly and receiving Me in Holy Communion every day if possible. You will have to be strengthened so that you will always say ‘no’ to the temptations of the evil one. Don’t forget your time for contemplative prayer every day. In this way you will become My great friend and we will have a deep friendship.

What you have to watch these days is the temptation of the world. The world is always tempting you with money, with honor and with a great reputation. You know that the world is opposed to Me and it is part of the darkness that exists everywhere. Do not be lured by the attraction of the world. It does not last. It is there today and tomorrow it is gone. Remain with Me and your joy will be full today, tomorrow and every day of your life. I love you all.”
