The Worship of the First Covenant
Dear Friends,
A reading from the Letter to the Hebrews (9:1-10):
Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary. For a tabernacle was constructed, the outer one, in which were the lampstand, the table, and the bread of offering; this is called the Holy Place. Behind the second veil was the tabernacle called the Holy of Holies, in which were the gold altar of incense and the ark of the covenant entirely covered with gold. In it were the gold jar containing the manna, the staff of Aaron that had sprouted, and the tablets of the covenant. Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of expiation. Now is not the time to speak of these in detail.
With these arrangements for worship, the priests, in performing their service, go into the outer tabernacle repeatedly, but the high priest alone goes into the inner one once a year, not without blood that he offers for himself and for the sins of the people. In this way the holy Spirit shows that the way into the sanctuary had not yet been revealed while the outer tabernacle still had its place. This is a symbol of the present time, in which gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the worshiper in conscience but only in matters of food and drink and various ritual washings: regulations concerning the flesh, imposed until the time of the new order.

We had a beautiful day yesterday with the temperature up to 9 degrees Celsius. It was sunny in the afternoon and I thank the Lord for this special day.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I call you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters to believe that I am the Son of the Father sent to earth to redeem you all and to open heaven for you. Our Heavenly Father had prepared the Jewish people by giving them the Old Testament. In this way they had a special way to worship the Father in the Temple that they built according to the Father’s plan. Through the Old Testament the Father prepared this single nation to welcome the Savior who would come one day. The Old Covenant did not atone for the sins of the people and did not open heaven to the people. Through the Father and the prophets sent by Him, the people were taught the truth about the Creator and the Universe and what the Father was waiting for. I who am the Savior of the world had a place prepared for Me in this Jewish Nation. My Mother was a Jewish woman who was well prepared to give birth to the Savior. St. Joseph, My foster father was also a Jewish man and well verse in the Old Testament. He had great faith and prayed much. However, what was terrible is that the vast majority of the Jewish people did not accept Me as the Savior of the world. It was the non-Jews who accepted Me and many of them are part of My Church today.
“I came into the world to establish a new covenant in My blood. Now the Old Covenant is abolished and you all live in the New Covenant. Believe in Me and follow My Church and you will do all I asked you to do by living in the New Covenant. I love you and I bless you all.”
