Sayings about the Holy Spirit
A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 12, 10 – 15:
Jesus said, “Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. When they take you before synagogues and before rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what your defense will be or about what you are to say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say.”
Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.” Jesus replied to him, “Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?” Then he said to the crowd, “Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does not consist of possessions.”
This afternoon I went to the funeral of a great friend of mine. He died of cancer and he was 74 years of age. He was a man with great faith. He never missed Mass on Sunday and went to Mass almost every day during the week. Everyday he would pray with his wife and children the rosary and other prayers too. He also worked very much for his parish. The parish priest who celebrated Holy Mass did say that he was a great example to all the Christians around. I pray that the Lord took him to heaven with Him.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I want you all to believe in the Holy Spirit My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who believe in Me. You know that in the Holy Trinity there are three divine Persons: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We are all equal and we work together at all times. The Father is known as the Creator who created heaven and earth and everything in them. He is also the one who created every human being. He keeps you all in existence every moment of time. If He should forget you for a second you would not exist anymore. So have great faith in Your Heavenly Father. I am the Son of God, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. I am the one who was sent by the Father to be born on earth and to teach the people especially in Israel the truth about God and the commandments of God and what you are to do. I founded My Church to spread my teachings all over the world and to work for your salvation. I came on earth to redeem you from all your sins and to open heaven for you. I have two natures: human and divine. You are called to follow Me and to believe in all that I have told you. The Third Person of the Holy Trinity is the Holy Spirit who is the personalized love of the Father and the Son. He is the sanctifier and the Father and I sent Him down to earth on Pentecost to fill the Apostles with His great power. All of you have received the Holy Spirit: first at Baptism and the fullness of the Holy Spirit when you received the Sacrament of Confirmation. So love the Holy Spirit and never blaspheme against Him. He is the one who will make you holy. I love you all and I bless you.”
