Dear Friends,
Children of God
A reading from the first Letter of Saint John 3, 1 – 10:
See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. Yet so we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope based on him makes himself pure, as he is pure.
Everyone who commits sin commits lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness. You know that he was revealed to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who remains in him sins; no one who sins has seen him or known him. Children, let no one deceive you. The person who acts in righteousness is righteous just as he is righteous. Whoever sins belong to the devil, because the devil has sinned from the beginning. Indeed, the Son of God was revealed to destroy the works of the devil. No one who is begotten by God commits sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot sin because he is begotten by God. In this way, the children of God and the children of the devil are made plain; no one who fails to act in righteousness belongs to God, nor anyone who does not love his brother.
We are now at the eve of the great Feast of Our Lord, His birth in Bethlehem. I wish all of you a very holy and blessed Christmas. Let us show our love to the Lord for having come among us and let us thank Our Blessed Mother for being His Mother. Great news! the Spanish Government has outlawed abortion in the country. This came about only a few days ago. What great news for Christmas. Let us pray that many other countries will do the same.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“You are the children of God My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who believe in Me. So you know that the Father loves you and I love you too together with the Holy Spirit. In one day you will celebrate My Nativity in Bethlehem more than 2,000 years ago. I am the Son of God but I came on earth and took upon Myself human nature in order to be born as a human being. I came to live with you and to show you My love and to atone for all your sins. I had been promised many years before and many were waiting for Me. In order to show you My love, I freely accepted to die a horrible death on the cross for you. In this way I took upon Myself all your sins and suffered death to atone for them all.
Come My dear brothers and sisters and join with Me every day of your life and I will lead you to eternal glory. I want you to become a member of My Kingdom and to be an active member of My Church. I bless you all.”
