Paul before King Agrippa

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 25, 13 – 27:

When a few days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived in Caesarea on a visit to Festus. Since they spent several days there, Festus referred Paul’s case to the king, saying, “There is a man here left in custody by Felix. When I was in Jerusalem the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against him and demanded his condemnation. I answered them that it was not Roman practice to hand over an accused person before he has faced his accusers and had the opportunity to defend himself against their charge.
So when they came together here, I made no delay; the next day I took my seat on the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought in. His accusers stood around him, but did not charge him with any of the crimes I suspected. Instead they had some issues with him about their own religion and about a certain Jesus who had died but who Paul claimed was alive. Since I was at a loss how to investigate this controversy, I asked if he were willing to go to Jerusalem and there stand trial on these charges. And when Paul appealed that he be held in custody for the Emperor’s decision, I ordered him held until I could send him to Caesar.” Agrippa said to Festus, “I too should like to hear this man.” He replied, “Tomorrow you will hear him.”
The next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great ceremony and entered the audience hall in the company of cohort commanders and the prominent men of the city and, by command of Festus, Paul was brought in. And Festus said, “King Agrippa and all you here present with us, look at this man about whom, the whole Jewish populace petitioned me here and in Jerusalem, clamoring that he should live no longer. I found, however, that he had done nothing deserving death, and so when he appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him. But I have nothing definite to write about him to our sovereign, therefore I have brought him before all of you, and particularly before you, King Agrippa, so that I may have something to write as a result of this investigation. For it seems senseless to me to send up a prisoner without indicating the charges against him.”

I go to a Charismatic Prayer meeting at our parish every Wednesday evening. So last evening I was there and we prayed for a full hour. I spoke to the people about trusting in the Lord. So many people are depressed today and others seem lost and do not know where to turn, so I called on them to place Jesus as the centre of their lives and to let Him lead them. He is Our Savior and He knows what path we are to follow. Let us ask Him to strengthen our faith and love for Him.

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 walk with Me every day. Do not follow the ways of the world because what the world teaches us does not come form Me. One who followed Me every day of his life after his conversion is Saint Paul. Although he did not do anything wrong he was accused by the Jews of all kinds of falsehood and they wanted to kill him. So the Roman soldiers arrested him and put him in prison in Jerusalem. After sometime he was sent to Caesarea and while he was there the Jews came and accused him of many things but they had no proof. They wanted him to return to Jerusalem but Paul asked to be tried by the Emperor in Rome and so the Governor agreed and kept him in prison until he would have a chance to send him to Rome. However, King Agrippa came to visit Caesarea and Festus told him about Saint Paul. So the King wanted to listen to him. Tomorrow you will hear what Saint Paul said before the King.
Do not be afraid My friends as I am always with you to help you. I love you all.”

Appeal to Caesar

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 25, 1 – 12:

Three days after his arrival in the province, Festus went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem, where the chief priests and Jewish leaders presented him their formal charges against Paul. They asked him as a favor to have him sent to Jerusalem, for they were plotting to kill him along the way. Festus replied that Paul was being held in custody in Caesarea and that he himself would be returning there shortly. He said, “Let your authorities come down with me, and if this man has done something improper, let them accuse him.”
After spending no more than eight or ten days with them, he went down to Caesarea, and on the following day took his seat on the tribunal, and ordered that Paul be brought in. When he appeared, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem surrounded him and brought many serious charges against him, which they were unable to prove. In defending himself Paul said, “I have committed no crime either against the Jewish law or against the temple or against Caesar.” Then Festus, wishing to ingratiate himself with the Jews, said to Paul in reply, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and there stand trial before me on these charges?” Paul answered, “I am standing before the tribunal of Caesar; this is where I should be tried. I have committed no crime against the Jews, as you very well know. If I have committed a crime or done anything deserving death, I do not seek to escape the death penalty; but if there is no substance to the charges they are bringing against me, then no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar.” Then Festus, after conferring with his council, replied, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go.”

A woman had bought from some natives a diabolical charm which she carried around her neck. She came to see me saying that she could not sleep at night and she felt being attacked while she was in bed. So I prayed to find out if this charm she wore was the cause of her troubles. After praying I could feel some coldness coming from that thing. This told me that it was diabolical. I told her to throw it away. So she took it off her neck and I prayed with her to chase away the evil spirits around her. Then she went home but she did not tell me that she had taken the charm home with her. At home she put it in her house and during the night the same problem came back to her. She was lying on the floor and shouting and so she phoned me to tell me what was happening. She told me that she had taken the charm home and she asked what she should do. I told her to burn it. She did. Then I had to pray with her again as now she had seven worst evil spirits than before. I prayed for half an hour and then she was freed. This problem never came back to bother her. Thank you Lord.

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

“I am helping you My brother Melvin in a very special way these days and I am ready to help all My brothers and sisters who follow Me. See how I helped Saint Paul. The Jews wanted to take him back to Jerusalem so he could stand trial but I knew that on his way to Jerusalem he would be killed because this is what the Jews had decided. Although the Governor wanted him to go to Jerusalem, Saint Paul refused and he appealed to Caesar. I am the one who gave him these words so that the Jews will not have the opportunity to kill him. When Saint Paul appealed to Caesar, Festus accepted and he was sent to Rome. This is what I had told Saint Paul that he would go to Rome and now he will soon be on his way. He worked very well in Rome in building the Church and he was martyred there. You know that the great patrons of Rome are Saint Peter who also was martyred in Rome and Saint Paul. Pray to these two great saints and they will intercede for you. I love you all.”

Captivity in Caesarea

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 24, 24 – 27:

Several days later Felix came with his wife Drusilia, who was Jewish. He had Paul summoned and listened to him speak about faith in Christ Jesus. But as he spoke about righteousness and self-restraint and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “You may go for now; when I find an opportunity I shall summon you again.” At the same time he hoped that a bribe would be offered him by Paul, and so he sent for him very often and conversed with him.
Two years passed and Felix was succeeded by Procius Festus. Wishing to ingratiate himself with the Jews, Felix left Paul in prison.

One day a teenager came to visit me saying that he was possessed by evil spirits. I asked him what he has done which he should not have done. He mentioned that he played the Wiji board. I told him never to do that again and I prayed with this teenager and he was completely liberated from these evil spirits. I thank the Lord for helping this person.

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

“Come My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters and know Me as perfectly as possible. You will know Me if you read the New Testament especially the Gospels. You must not just know about Me but come to know Me as I am. Saint Paul spent two years in prison in Caesarea and there he had time to be close to Me and to contemplate Me every day and to have this heart to heart talk with Me. Through these long days with Me, he grew daily in holiness and his great desire was to be with Me in heaven. There were no doubts in his mind about Me but he was full of love for Me and daily he would offer himself totally to Me to do My will. Not many have such a long time to spend with Me every day. I want you all, My friends, to spend time with Me every day to contemplate Me in a heart to heart talk that brings you very closely united with Me. I bless you all and I give you all the graces you need every day. I love you all.”

P.S. It was sunny this morning Tuesday but it became cloudy in the afternoon and we expect rain tomorrow.
