The Third Prediction of the Passion
Dear friends,
A reading from St. Mark’s Gospel (10, 32 – 34):
They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went ahead of them. They were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. Taking the Twelve aside again, he began to tell them what was going to happen to him. “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and hand him over to the Gentiles who will mock him, spit upon him, scourge him, and put him to death, but after three days he will rise.”

Yesterday, the Feast of All Saints, was a real summer day here in Prince Edward Island. It was sunny the whole day and the temperature moved close to 20 degrees Celsius (70 degrees F). People were saying the summer has come back again. I thanked the Lord for this beautiful day and I went for a long walk, which was good for my health. Again I thank all those who sent donations for the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island. When you have more money, please send some more because it costs a lot for the upkeep in the winter.
Below you will find the message of Our Savior who gave His life by dying on the cross to save us. He spoke these words to Father Melvin,
“I love you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters scattered all over the earth. While I was with My Apostles, I told them three times about My Passion and Death and My Resurrection from the dead would come three days later. They did not understand what I was telling them. I want you all to know that it was out of love for each one of you that I freely agreed to suffer horribly at the hands of these Jewish and Roman people. At the end they forced Me to carry My cross to Calvary where they nailed Me to the cross and I suffered terribly until My death. My Mother stood near My cross all the time that I was hanging there. She suffered together with Me for you all. We desire your salvation that all of you who are on earth today will one day be united with Me and My Mother for all eternity. Work hard My dear friends and one day you will be in glory with the Father, with Me His Son and with the Holy Spirit. I care for you all.”
