The Coming of the Holy Spirit
Dear Friends,
(After Jesus had ascended into heaven) They returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet… When they entered the city they went to the upper room where they were staying… All these devoted themselves with one accord to prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers. … When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem. At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd, but they were confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language. They were astounded, and in amazement they asked, “Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans? Then how does each of us hear them in his own native language? …” They were all astounded and bewildered, and said to one another, “What does this mean?” (Passage from the Acts of the Apostles 1:12a,13a,14; 2:1-8,12)
I had the Healing Mass last evening at the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island and a good group of people attended. I prayed with every person present and I felt the Holy Spirit present in a powerful way. I know He touched many of the people in the Little Shrine last night. Today I will celebrate Holy Mass in honor of Our Blessed Mother, as Saturday is Her special day.
Below you will find the message of Our Lady given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
“May the Holy Spirit fill you, My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who live all over the world. I was present at the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost in Jerusalem. It was a very special holy day when we saw the tongues of fire come on the head of each person present. We all began to praise God in different tongues with much joy. It was the Father and My Son, Jesus, who sent the Holy Spirit upon the world on that day. So on that day a new era was born, for all who believed in Jesus, My Son, could be filled with the Holy Spirit and live in the power of God. The Holy Spirit as you know is the third Person of the Blessed Trinity. He is the Sanctifier so I call you all to work closely with the Holy Spirit and receive His power in you to do the work of God. It was on the day of the coming of the Holy Spirit that the Church founded by My Son came into being, because after the speech of St. Peter three thousand people were baptized and became members of the church. You know that it was through the power of the Holy Spirit that I was able to conceive and give birth to Jesus, the Savior of the world. Live, My children, in the power of the Blessed Trinity and you will one day be in heaven with God, with Me and all the angels and saints. I bless you all.”
