Letter to Members of the Community
Dear Friends,
A reading from the First Letter of St. John (2:12-17):
I am writing to you, children, because your sins have been forgiven for his name’s sake.
I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning.
I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the evil one.
I write to you, children, because you know the Father.
I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men, because you are strong and the word of God remains in you, and you have conquered the evil one.
Do not love the world or the things of the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, sensual lust, enticement for the eyes, and a pretentious life, is not from the Father but is from the world. Yet the world and its enticement are passing away. But whoever does the will of God remains forever.

We had a beautiful sunny day yesterday although the news had announced snow for us. We might get some snow today March 16. Let us continue to pray for our new Pope, Francis I, that he will be strong in following the Lord every day.
Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
“I am praying for you My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who believe and follow My Son Jesus. The letter of the Apostle Saint John is a beautiful letter and I want you all to read it and to meditate on it. John was the one appointed by My Son Jesus when He was on the cross to take care of Me after Jesus’ death. He did bring Me to his house and was a great son to Me. I love him very much. John calls you all to love Jesus, My Son, and to stop sinning. Do not follow the ways of the world because those ways will lead you astray and you will never reach heaven. Follow your Savior and He will be with you every day and lead you to heavenly glory. I am praying for you all. I love you all and I bless you.”
Father Melvin
