Apostle to the Gentiles

A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Romans 15, 14 – 21:

I myself am convinced about you, my brothers and sisters, filled with all knowledge, and able to admonish one another. But I have written to you rather boldly in some respects to remind you, because of the grace given me by God to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in performing the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering up of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to boast in what pertains to God. For I will not dare to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to lead the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed, by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum I have finished preaching the gospel of Christ. Thus I aspire to proclaim the gospel not where Christ has already been named, so that I do not build on another’s foundation, but as it is written:
“Those who have never been told of him shall see, and those who have never heard of him shall understand.”

I received a letter today from a person I have know for some years. He wrote this: “Please say one of your special healing prayers for my failing eyes. The Father has already partially healed them. So I wish to thank Him.” I have just prayed for him that the Lord will heal his eyes completely. I always thank the Lord for all the great healings He does.

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

“I call you all My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters that you have completely trust in Me. All that I have told you and it is written in the Bible I will bring about without forgetting one thing, so continue to have trust in Me. The great Saint Paul was a great missionary and he worked hard in many countries of the Middle East and in Europe. In his letter to the Romans, he mentioned that he is My minister and that I have sent him to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles, those people who had never heard of Me, their Savior. He did not wish to build My Church on someone else foundation but so he went were nobody had gone before him. He taught the people about Me and confirmed his words by signs and wonders and these are especially miracles he performed in My name. It is mentioned in one of his letters that a man sitting on the window sill on the second floor, fell asleep and fell out of the window and hit the ground and was dead. Saint Paul went to him and brought him back to life. This indeed is a great miracle and it shows that Paul is a great saint who was always very close to Me.
Saint Paul is still teaching you today by his letters. If you read his letters you will receive a lot of teachings that will help you to follow Me and to be a saint one day. Indeed the Holy Spirit was in him and worked marvels through him. Come now My friends and believe these words of Saint Paul and follow My Church and you will be blessed. I love you all and I want you all with Me one day.”

God’s Fidelity and Mercy

God’s Fidelity and Mercy

Welcome one another, then, as Christ welcomed you, for the glory of God. For I say that Christ became a minister of the circumcised to show God’s truthfulness; to confirm the promises to the patriarchs, but so that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:
“Therefore, I will praise you among the Gentiles and sing praises to your name.”
And again it says:
“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”
And again:
“Praise the Lord all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him.”
And again Isaiah says:
“The Root of Jesse shall come, raised up to rule the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles hope.”
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

I prayed for a friend of mine who had prostate cancer and Jesus cured him completely. Yet the doctor decided to have him operated on to remove the prostate and when they did so they found that indeed he had no cancer. With the operation of course he had pain for some days but he is now getting better. The Lord is good and is always there to help us.

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

“I love you all My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world. I call you to love one another and so follow My example. The Jewish people were chosen by My Heavenly Father to prepare a place for Me to be born. My dearest Mother Mary gave Me birth in the town of David and Joseph acted as My father. They were Jewish and very holy people. I selected twelve Apostles and all these too were Jewish well prepared to welcome Me their Savior. However, the majority of the Jewish people rejected Me and at the end they put Me to death by nailing Me to the cross. This became My sacrifice for your salvation. After three days after My crucifixion, I rose again from the dead never to die again. My resurrection is the great event to show you that indeed I am your Lord and Savior and that all should believe in Me. Having been rejected by My people, the Jews, mercy was given to the Gentiles and a large number of them were converted and became My followers. There is a vast number of Gentiles from every country of the world who belong to My Church founded by Saint Peter and they are led by the successor of Saint Peter, the Pope. So My people be people of hope knowing that you will be with Me in heaven one day if you are true to Me. May the power of the Holy Spirit fill you all and give you the strength to follow the true way to eternal life. I bless you all.”

Patience and Self-Denial

Patience and Self-Denial

A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Romans 15, 1 – 6:

We who are strong ought to put up with the failing of the weak and not to please ourselves; let each of us please our neighbor for the good, for building up. For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The insults of those who insult you fall upon me.” For whatever was written previously was written for our instruction, that by endurance and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope. May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to think in harmony with one another, in keeping with Christ Jesus, that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I have another bill to pay and I hope I will find the money to pay it. I need to pay $5,000 by Friday and as you know I do not have any money. I am also praying that the money for the building of the two monasteries and the shrine of Our dear Mother will soon come in. Please pray that I may receive the money soon and that I will have the $5,000 to pay this bill. Thank you all.

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

“I call you all to open your heats to me, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who love Me, that you will be filled with hope, the great gift I give My friends. As Saint Paul taught the Romans, you have to be patient with your family and neighbors. Do not get angry with them when they are not building up but instead they are tearing down. Wait in patience so that you can talk with them and show them that what I call them to do is to grow in love, hope and charity with all the people you live with. It is true they might insult you at times but know that they have insulted Me too. For the insults of those who insult you fall upon Me too. Do not loose your patience if someone does this to you. Understand that you are united to Me and these sufferings will help you to grow as friends of mine. Always remain united to Me and you will grow in holiness every day of your life. I love you and I bless you.”

Father Melvin

P.S. We had a beautiful sunny day today and I thank the Lord for this great day.
