The Woman and the Dragon
Dear Friends,
A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth. Then another sign appeared in the sky; it was a huge red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadems. Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky and hurled them down to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth. She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was caught up to God and his throne. The woman herself fled into the desert where she had a place prepared by God, that there she might be taken care of for twelve hundred and sixty days. Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back, but they did not prevail and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. The huge dragon, the ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world, was thrown down to earth, and its angels were thrown down with it. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have salvation and power come, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Anointed. For the accuser of our brothers is cast out, who accuses them before our God day and night. They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; love for life did not deter them from death.(Passage from the Book of Revelation 12:1-11)
I am preparing for the retreat that will start tomorrow afternoon. Some people from New York have already arrived. I hope a good group comes.
Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin on her Feast of the Assumption. She spoke to him these words,
“It is with great joy that I greet you today, My son Joseph Melvin and all My sons and daughters scattered throughout the world. Today is the Feast of My Assumption into heaven. In His great love for Me, My Son Jesus brought Me to heaven body and soul like Him. I was given a beautiful home and, as Your Mother, I spend My eternity praying for every one of you. I continuously ask Jesus to give you all the gifts and graces that He has for you. I especially pray that all the people living in the world may receive the gift of faith and come to know and love My dear Son. I want you all near Me in heaven one day.
I defeated Satan as the story in the Book of Revelation tells you. As I gave birth to My Son, Satan wanted to snatch Him and destroy Him but he never had the chance. I wish to warn you, My dear children, never to have anything to do with Satan. Never get involved in anything Satanic such as New Age, Wicca, Reiki, ouija board, occultism or anything else. Remain close to My Son, Jesus, and follow Him and Satan will not have a hold on you. May you be filled with joy today on My great feast for indeed I am in heaven as Your Mother and Queen.”
