Paul before the Sanhedrin

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 22, 30 – 23, 11:

The next day, wishing to determine the truth about why he was being accused by the Jews, the commander freed him and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to convene. Then he brought Paul down and made him stand before them.
Paul looked intently at the Sanhedrin and said, “My brothers, I have conducted myself with a perfectly clear conscience before God to this day.” The high priest Ananias ordered his attendants to strike his mouth. Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall. Do you indeed sit in judgment upon me according to the law and yet in violation of the law order me to be struck?” The attendants said, “Would you revile God’s high priest?” Paul answered, “Brothers, I did not realize he was the high priest. For it is written, ‘You shall not curse a ruler of your people.'”
Paul was aware that some were Sadducees and some Pharisees, so he called out before the Sanhedrin, “My brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees; I am on trial for hope in the resurrection of the dead.” When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the group became divided. For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection or angels or spirits, while the Pharisees acknowledge all three. A great uproar occurred, and some scribes belong to the Pharisee party stood up and sharply argued, “We find nothing wrong with this man. Suppose a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?” The dispute was so serious that the commander, afraid that Paul would be torn to pieces by them, ordered his troops to go down and rescue him from their midst and take him into the compound. The following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Take courage. For just as you have borne witness to my cause in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness in Rome.”

I am getting ready to send out Our Lady’s Newsletter. I hope by next week I will have sent them all out. There are some who have not renewed their subscription. It only cost $12.00 for Canadians and $15.00 for those outside of Canada. If you wish to receive it with the message Our Blessed Mother gave me on August 15th, the Feast of the Assumption of Our dear Mother, then please write to me as soon as possible.

Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,

“I bless you My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who have great faith in My Son Jesus, Your Savior. My great son, Saint Paul, had great love for Jesus, My Son, and he suffered much because of his great faith. He was arrested in Jerusalem because of all the accusations of the Jews. From Jerusalem he traveled to Rome and it is there in Rome after some years that he was martyred. He worked hard to establish My Son’s Church in many countries of the Middle East and in Europe. The Jews however gave him a lot of trouble because they refused to believe in My Son Jesus and often they wanted to kill Saint Paul.
I call you My children to be strong Christians who pray regularly and love to go to Holy Mass and to receive My Son Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. Follow Him every day and one day you will be with us in heaven. I am praying for you all the time and I send the graces won by My Son during His time of suffering and while He hung upon the cross. I suffered with Him as I stood near His cross until He died for your salvation. Come and follow Him and He will bring you to heaven one day. Follow the commandments and love one another for this is what He asked you to do. I love you all for I am your Mother who cares for you.”

P.S. We had rain last night but there was no rain today. It was cloudy and windy in the morning but it became clear and sunny in the afternoon. I thank the Lord.

Paul Imprisoned

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 22, 22 – 29:

The Jews listened to Paul until he said this, but then they raised their voices and shouted, “Take such a one as this away from the earth. It is not right that he should live.” And as they were yelling and throwing off their cloaks and flinging dust into the air, the cohort commander ordered him to be brought into the compound and gave instruction that he be interrogated under the lash to determine the reason why they were making such an outcry against him. But when they had stretched him out for the whips, Paul said to the centurion on duty, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman citizen and has not been tried?” When the centurion heard this, he went to the cohort commander and reported it, saying, “What are you going to do? This man is a Roman citizen.” “Yes,” he answered. The commander replied, “I acquired this citizenship for a large sum of money.” Paul said, “But I was born one.” At once those who were going to interrogate him backed away from him, and the commander became alarmed when he realized that he was a Roman citizen and that he had him bound.

Today there are many Catholic men and women who are living together but they have never been married. This way of living is sinful. One day I was speaking to a couple who had never been married and I told them that Jesus wanted them to receive the sacrament of marriage. I explained that it was not difficult for they only had to go and see their parish priest and he will organized everything. They did this and within a month they were married in church. The Lord blessed their union.

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 who believe in Me as your Redeemer. There are many Christians who suffer today in many parts of the world. Some are thrown in prison and even some are beheaded. One who suffered in the past was Saint Paul. The Jews wanted to kill him and he was taken by the soldiers and brought to the compound. They wanted to whip him and as they were preparing to do so, Saint Paul told them that he was a Roman citizen and so they had no right to do so. They immediately stopped their preparation and let him free. The Commander asked him how he became a Roman citizen. He told them that he was born a Roman citizen. So the commander became alarmed when he realized that he was a Roman citizen.
I was there with Saint Paul and I am the one who told him to tell them about his citizenship. In this way he was protected and he was not whipped. However, he will suffer greatly in the future. I call you all My friends never to be afraid of the future but remain close to Me and I will protect you. I love you all.”

P.S. It was nice and sunny this morning but it became cloudy in the afternoon and we should have rain this evening. The farmers need rain and they should be happy.

Paul’s Defense

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 22, 1 – 21:

Paul said to the Jews in Jerusalem, “My brothers and fathers, listen to what I am about to say to you in my defense.” When they heard him addressing them in Hebrew they became all the more quiet. And Paul continued, “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city. At the feet of Gamaliel I was educated strictly in our ancestral law and was zealous for God, just as all of you are today. I persecuted this Way to death, binding both men and women and delivering them to prison. Even the high priest and the whole council of elders can testify on my behalf. For from them I even received letters to the brothers and set out for Damascus to bring back to Jerusalem in chains for punishment those there as well.
On that journey as I drew near to Damascus, about noon a great light from the sky suddenly shone around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’ I replied, ‘Who are you sir? ‘ And he said to me, ‘I am Jesus the Nazorean whom you are persecuting.’ My companion saw the light but did not hear the voice of the one who spoke to me. I asked, ‘What shall I do, sir?’ The Lord answered me, ‘Get up and go into Damascus, and there you will be told about everything appointed for you to do.’ Since I could see nothing because of the brightness of that light, I was led by hand by my companions and entered Damascus.
A certain Ananias, a devout observer of the law, and highly spoken of by all the Jews who lived there, came to me and stood there and said, “Saul, my brother, regain your sight.’ And at that very moment I regained my sight and saw him. Then he said, ‘The God of our ancestors designated you to know his will, to see the Righteous One, and to hear the sound of his voice; for you will be his witness before all to what you have seen and heard. Now, why delay? Get up and have yourself baptized and your sins washed away, calling upon his name.’
After I had returned to Jerusalem and while I was praying in the temple, I fell into a trance and saw the Lord saying to me, ‘Hurry, leave Jerusalem at once, because they will not accept your testimony about me. But I replied, ‘Lord, they themselves know that from synagogue to synagogue I used to imprison and beat those who believed in you. And when the blood of your witness Stephen was being shed, I myself stood by giving my approval and keeping guard over the cloak of his murderers.’ Then he said to me, ‘God, I shall send you far away to the Gentiles.’

I wish to thank all those who have sent me money to pay the debt to the Provincial Government. I have not yet received half of the money but some have been generous sending me $100, others $200 and even one $500. I am praying for you that the Lord bless you for your generosity. I know others will send some more money in the near future.

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

“Come with Me My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters and listen to the speech Saint Paul gave in Jerusalem. He had been arrested by the guard and as they arrived in the guard’s compound, Saint Paul asked the commander if he could speak to the Jews outside. The commander said yes and Paul went out and talked to the people there. He told them about the great happening when he was on his way to Damascus to arrest My followers. A bright light shone around him and he fell to the ground. He heard My voice when I said, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you prosecuting me?’ By the mere fact that he was persecuting My followers, he was persecuting Me. I indentified Myself with everyone of My followers. I told Paul who I was and I told him to go to Damascus and he would be told what to do. While he was in Damascus a devout Jew came to visit Paul sent by Me. He restored his sight and this man told Paul that he will be My witness before all people. Then he told Paul to be baptized in order to wash away all his sins. Paul agreed and he was baptized. Then Saint Paul returned to Jerusalem and while he was in the temple he had a vision of Me and I told him to leave Jerusalem at once. I sent him to go and preached to the Gentiles. You know that Saint Paul did what I told him and he worked very well among the Gentiles in Asia and Europe. Saint Paul is indeed a great saint who worked hard to build My Church. You are now part of My Church and continue to call people to enter and be saved. I bless you all.”
