Obedience and Service in the World
Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Philippians (2:12-18):
So then, my beloved, obedient as you have always been, not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent, work out your salvation with fear and trembling. For God is the one who, for his good purpose, works in you both to desire and to work. Do everything without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine like lights in the world, as you hold on to the word of life, so that my boast for the day of Christ may be that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. But, even if I am poured out as a libation upon the sacrificial service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with all of you. In the same way you also should rejoice and share your joy with me.

We had another beautiful sunny day yesterday. I went with a friend to the Evangeline area of Prince Edward Island to visit the area and we went to Summerside for a bite to eat. We had a beautiful afternoon.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Be obedient to Me and your Heavenly Father, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who form part of My Church. This is a beautiful way to show your love to Me by following what I have told you. Be always ready to work to help others without grumbling, and know that when you help others it is the same as if you were helping Me. You must be a light to the people of today because many of them are lost and act in a crooked way. They need to be shaken up so that they wake up and follow the right way. Show them, My friends, the right way and teach them the truth that will help them to achieve their great goal, which is to reach heaven with My grace and strength. Do not fall into the mess that many people are in, but be the light to help them come out of this mess. I love you and I give you all the strength you need to follow Me.”
Father Melvin
