Transformation of Life
Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to Titus (3:1-11):
Remind them to be under the control of magistrates and authorities, to be obedient, to be open to every good enterprise. They are to slander no one, to be peaceable, considerate, exercising all graciousness toward everyone. For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, deluded, slaves to various desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful ourselves and hating one another.
But when the kindness and generous love of God our savior appeared, not because of any righteous deeds we had done but because of his mercy, he saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the holy Spirit, whom he richly poured out on us through Jesus Christ our savior, so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life. This saying is trustworthy.
I want you to insist on these points, that those who have believed in God be careful to devote themselves to good works; these are excellent and beneficial to others. Avoid foolish arguments, genealogies, rivalries, and quarrels about the law, for they are useless and futile. After a first and second warning, break off contact with a heretic, realizing that such a person is perverted and sinful and stands self-condemned.

Today we will have a really summer day with plenty of sun and the temperature will be around 15 degrees Celsius. We did not get any snow yet and the people here are happy.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“You are to be obedient to Me, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters, and be ready every day to follow the commandments given to the world by the Father. I am the One who came down from heaven where I had lived for eternity. I came down for the only reason that I love you and I knew that none of you could enter heaven unless I was born on earth and showed you the way you should live. While on earth, I offered Myself in oblation to the Father to wash away all your sins. These sins were hindering you from entering heaven. Through My death and resurrection you received many, many graces to help you come to know and to believe in Me, to repent of your sins, and to work generously as a member of My Church. In this way when your time on earth is over, you should come to heaven where I prepared a home for each one of you who followed Me. I call you all to stay with Me during these difficult days, and call on My help every day. I am there to help you. I love you all.”
Father Melvin
