The Coming of the Son of Man
Dear friends,
A reading from St. Mark’s Gospel (13:24-37):
[Jesus said:] “But in those days after that tribulation the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in the clouds’ with great power and glory, and then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of the sky.
“Learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see these things happening, know that he is near, at the gates. Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
“But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come. It is like a man traveling abroad. He leaves home and places his servants in charge, each with his work, and orders the gatekeeper to be on the watch. Watch, therefore; you do not know when the lord of the house is coming, whether in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning. May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to all: ‘Watch!'”

We had a beautiful day yesterday here in Prince Edward Island but it was colder than a few days ago.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Friend given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I greet you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters scattered all over the earth. You know that I will return to earth on day. I will come down from heaven with great power and glory and I will send out the angels to gather all the holy men and women and bring them to Me. Nobody knows when this will happen. Even the angels do not know; only God the Father knows the date and the hour. However, I call you all to be watchful, to be on your guard. You must not abandon Me nor forget your role as a follower of mine. Be always ready for the day and time that I will come so that I will bring you to heaven with Me. Follow the Commandments of God and do good every day. In this way you will be My friend and all My friends will be blessed. I love you all.”
