Martha and Mary

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 10, 38 – 42:

As they continued their journey Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Martha burdened with much serving, came to Jesus and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me.” The Lord said to her in reply, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.”

I wish to thank those who have sent me money. I received enough money today to buy heating oil and some food. My oil tank will be filled tomorrow. I hope I can change the oil in my car one of these days and soon I will need new tires. Another person sent me $50 via Paypal and I will receive it shortly. If some can help me to pay the rest of my bills, please do so by Paypal which you will find on Our Lady’s website: www.ourladyofpei.com
May the Lord bless you all.

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

“I call you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters to have great love for the two great saints who welcomed Me to their homes. They are Saint Martha and Saint Mary Magdalene. They lived with their brother Lazarus whom I brought back to life after he was buried for some days. The first time I went to their home with the Apostles, it was Martha who welcomed Me into their home. She worked hard to prepare a nice meal for all of us. Her sister Mary, however, sat at My feet and listened to all that I was saying. She opened her heart to take in everything I had to say. That day for her was a moment of great conversion. After that day she followed Me to many places and she did many great things such as wash My feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Her sister Marta was also converted and she followed Me for the rest of her life. Their brother Lazarus was also converted and he became an example to the Apostles and the people of the place of what would happen to Me. He died and was buried but through My power he came back to life in good health and all the people were amazed at what happened. Today people still go to their homes and they visit the empty tomb where Lazarus was buried. This is to show you, My brothers and sisters, that I am indeed the Son of God who came into this world to show you how I love you and that I died on the cross to save you. I love you all.”

P.S. We had another beautiful sunny day and it was not so cold this afternoon.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 10, 29 – 37:

But because this man wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead. A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. Likewise a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight. He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn and cared for him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, ‘Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.’ Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?” He answered, “The one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus said to him, “God and do likewise.”

I have all sorts of bills to pay but I have no money to pay them. I need $400 to buy heating oil, I need $120 to buy medication for my sickness, I need $350 to pay for insurance for my car and I need $180 to have my car inspected and to change the oil in the car and at the end I need new tires and that costs about $700. If anyone of you can help me to pay these bills I would be very happy indeed. May the Lord bless you all.

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

“I bless you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who are attached to Me and who love Me. Today you read My teaching from the Bible about the good neighbor. When you find a person who has been beaten, or who is sick or very depressed, what would you do with that person. Will you act like the priest and the Levite and just pass by without helping him? Instead would you act like the Good Samaritan and take care of that poor man? If you are a follower of mine, you ought to act like the Good Samaritan. You should help this poor man and bind his wounds and take him with you. In this way you will show that person that you love him as I told you to do. My commandment to you, My friends, is this: Love God with all your heart and soul and love your neighbor as yourself. You should always be kind to those you meet and you should greet them from the heart. You should look at your neighbor the same way you would look at Me, your Savior. Remember I love you and I died for you to atone for your sins and to make of you a son or a daughter of My Father and My own brother or sister. I bless you and never forget that I love you with all My heart.”

Praise of the Father

February 9, 2015

Praise of the Father

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 10, 21 – 29:

At that very moment Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I give you praise, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.”
Turning to the disciples in private he said, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I say to you, many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.”
There was a doctor of the law who stood up to test Jesus and said, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” He said in reply, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart. with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” He replied to him, “You have answered correctly, do this and you will live.”

I have a great love for Pope Francis, our great leader who was born in Argentina. Before becoming Pope, he was the Archbishop of Buenos Aires where I visited a number of times and I celebrated Healing Masses in this great city. Pope Francis makes me think of Jesus who loved the poor and cared for them. Our Lord healed so many poor sick people and even fed five thousand people in the desert. Pope Francis loved to visit the poor places in the city of Buenos Aires and he also loves children and especially those who are sick or handicapped. I pray for the Pope every day that the Lord will continue to bless him daily.

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

“You are all called to love the Father especially you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who take My words to heart. I prayed to My Father every day when I was on earth and I loved Him with all My heart and soul and I only do what My Heavenly Father tells Me. I want you too to follow My example. I gave you a beautiful prayer which I want you to pray often during the day. That prayer is the “Our Father.” Show your Heavenly Father that He means everything for you. He is also your Father and He is the one who gives you all the wonderful things that you have. You have life that comes from Him and if you have good health that thank Him for this gift. You have something to eat so thank Him for the food you eat. Thank Him for everything every day.

You are called to love the Father who is God with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength and will all your mind and your neighbor as yourself. These were the words that a scholar of the law answered Me when I asked him what was written in the law. Follow all these great words and you will one day be in heaven with the Father.

I told My disciples that they were privileged to be My followers for they see what no one has seen and they hear what no one has heard. Very few people had the privilege to be so close to the Son of God and to listen to all that He taught and to see all the miracles that He accomplished. My Apostles saw it all.

These disciples of mine have passed on to you through the Bible all these wonderful things that they saw and heard. Listen to them and open your heart to accept all that they teach you. I love you and I bless you all.”

Father Melvin

P.S. We had a beautiful sunny day for Sunday and I hope it will be sunny again tomorrow.
