Sermon on the Plain
A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 6, 20 – 26:
And raising his eyes toward his disciples Jesus said,
“Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours
Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh.
Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you,
and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man.
Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! Behold, your reward will be great in heaven.
For their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way.
But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.
But woe to you who are filled now, for you will be hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now, for you will grieve and weep.
Woe to you when all speak well of you, for their ancestors treated the false prophets in this way.”
It is terrible what happened in Paris by these Islamists. They killed twelve people who worked for this paper. At the end they were caught and they were killed too by the police as they were terrorists and they had guns. France is a country were there are only a minority of Christians that go to church. The Bishops of France should write a letter to all the Catholics of the country and ask them to return to the church and pray so that these things will not happen again. If they do not return to the church, more of these horrible things will happen in their country and in other countries as well. Let us pray for the conversion of all non-believers and those who do not practice that they return to follow Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Listen to My sermon My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have faith in Me. All My followers should understand My words which I address to you all. All the poor people who follow Me will be members of the Kingdom of God and they will be saved. All who have nothing to eat and are suffering, if they turn to Me they will be satisfied. All you who are weeping for any reason, come to Me and I will give you peace and joy. Do not worry if people hate you and insult you or denounce you as evil because you follow Me, your Savior. Rejoice because your reward will be great in heaven.
However, those who are rich, they have already received their reward and those who are full now, will be hungry in the future. Those who are laughing today, woe to you for you will weep in the future. Woe to you if the people speak well of you for the false prophets were treated in the same way.
Come My friends and follow Me. If you suffer remember I suffered but now I am in glory in heaven seated at the right hand of My Heavenly Father. You too who endure all kinds of problems and difficulties will be blessed if you are united with Me in all your troubles. I am always there to help you. I love you all.”
Father Melvin
P.S. We had a beautiful sunny day on January 13th.
