The Crucifixion
Dear friends,
A reading from St. Mark’s Gospel (15:22-32):
They brought [Jesus] to the place of Golgotha (which is translated Place of the Skull). They gave him wine drugged with myrrh, but he did not take it. Then they crucified him and divided his garments by casting lots for them to see what each should take. It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him. The inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.” With him they crucified two revolutionaries, one on his right and one on his left.
Those passing by reviled him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself by coming down from the cross.” Likewise the chief priests, with the scribes, mocked him among themselves and said, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may see and believe.” Those who were crucified with him also kept abusing him.

I wish to thank all those who sent donations to help me. I am still short of money so if you can send me some more money, it would help me very much. I thank you for all you have done to help me.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and King given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words:
“Come today My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters in the world and join My Blessed Mother, St. John, St. Magdalene and others as they stood at the foot of My cross. Let the drops of My blood fall on you to cleanse you of all sins and to fill you with My graces. See what your sins have caused Me – a horrible death on the cross. I accepted this death for your sake because I love you all. Only My death on the cross could reconcile you with My Father and open heaven for you. Through the Sacrament of Baptism you became members of My Kingdom and united to Me. Live your baptism every day and you will reach heaven one day. I love you all.”
