Arrival at Pitolemais and Caesarea
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 21, 7 – 14:
We continued the voyage and came from Tyre to Pitolemais where we greeted the brothers and stayed a day with them. On the next day we resumed the trip and came to Caesarea, where we went to the house of Philip, the evangelist, who was one of the Seven, and stayed with him. He had four virgin daughters gifted with prophecy. We had been there several days when a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. He came up to us, took Paul’s belt, bound his own feet and hands with it, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit: This is the way the Jews will bind the owner of this belt in Jerusalem, and they will hand him over to the Gentiles.” When we heard this, we and the local residents begged him not to go up to Jerusalem. Then Paul replied, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? I am prepared not only to be bound but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” Since he would not be dissuaded we let the matter rest, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
September 8 is the Feast of the Birthday of Our Blessed Mother and it is also the Feast of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island, Our Mother of Life. So tomorrow I will celebrate Holy Mass in Her honor and pray for the end of abortion throughout the world and I will also pray for the end of euthanasia. I pray that all the Catholics will celebrate this great day of Our dear Mother.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Yes, it is on September 8, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters, that we celebrate the Feast of Our dear Mother’s Birthday and you will also celebrate the day chosen by My Mother as the Feast of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island. I call you all to go to Holy Mass and celebrate this great day.
All the angels and saints will also celebrate in heaven this great day.
In every place where Saint Paul went some people spoke about what was to happen in Jerusalem where he was going. A prophet took a belt and tied his feet and told all those present that is what would happen to Saint Paul when he gets to Jerusalem. What was said by these prophets was completely true for that is what happened to him while he was in Jerusalem. He would spent years in prison and tied to a chain and he would go as far as Rome because he was a Roman citizen. At the end he would be martyred.
He is a great saint in heaven and ask for his intercession and he surely will pray for you. I bless you all.”
Father Melvin
P.S. We had another very fine day on Sunday with sunshine and warm weather. Again I thank the Lord for this wonderful weather.
