The Healing of the Blind Beggar
A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 18, 35 – 43:
Now as he approached Jericho a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging, and hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what was happening. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” He shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!” The people walking in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent, but he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have pity on me!” Then Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to him, and when he came near, Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, please let me see.” Jesus told him, “Have sight; your faith has saved you.” He immediately received his sight and followed him, giving glory to God. When the saw this, all the people gave praise to God.
I am very sad that hardly any people came to my help. They could not sent me even one hundred or two hundred dollars. I am in great stress at this moment. However, I am praying to the Lord that He helps me. I am also asking Our Dear Mother Mary to pray for me every day and today is the Feast of Saint Joseph, so I also asked him to intercede for me as he is the Patron Saint of Canada and my first name is Joseph. I pray that some money will come in during the night because I need the money in the morning.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Have faith in Me, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters, just like this blind man sitting on the side of the road at Jericho in Israel. When he found out that I was passing by he started to shout aloud, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!” I stopped and I asked the people to bring him to Me. Then I asked him what he wanted Me to do for him. He told Me that he wanted to see. I told him to receive the gift of sight for his faith had saved him. Immediately he began to see and he gave glory to God. All the people with Me, when they saw that this man had been healed also gave praise to God.
My brother Melvin, I also healed your eyes when you were in Africa. You used to wear glasses but the day you were healed you threw your glasses away. That was in 1977 and today you can see and you do not need glasses. Yes, I have healed many people in all countries of the world. It is My joy to help a person to see without trouble.
You know, My friends, that I am a great healer and when I was on earth I healed many people and even brought the dead back to life. Know that I am the Divine Son of God and I have all power. Come to Me when you need help and I will help you. I love you all.”
