Mary Visits Elizabeth
Dear Friends,
A reading from St. Luke’s Gospel (1:39-55):
During those days Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.”
And Mary said: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid’s lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him. He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart. He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly. The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”

I thank you all for praying for my intentions. I am waiting for good news within a day or two. May Our Blessed Mother intercede for you all.
Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
“I love you My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters spread all over the world. I ask you all to pray your rosary every day, and remember when you pray the Hail Mary, you repeat the words of My cousin Elizabeth, ‘Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.’ Indeed as I said in My canticle, all the people will call Me blessed. Remember I am the Mother of Life and I wish to tell you that every child that is conceived has the right to be born. No one has the right to destroy life. If you do, you offend God very seriously. Look at the infant Jesus. He was just conceived in My womb when I went to visit My cousin. Yet He caused Elizabeth’s infant to leap in her womb. He was already from conception a person, and all need to recognize this and respect this dear innocent infant and be full of joy that God the Father has given you such a beautiful gift of a child. Come and follow My Son Jesus and go to church regularly, and follow all the commandments of God. I bless you all.”
