Peter’s Denial Foretold
Dear Friends,
Then Jesus said to them, “This night all of you will have your faith in me shaken, for it is written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be dispersed'; but after I have been raised up, I shall go before you to Galilee.” Peter said to him in reply, “Though all may have their faith in you shaken, mine will never be.” Jesus said to him, “Amen, I say to you, this very night before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.” Peter said to him, “Even though I should have to die with you, I will not deny you.” And all the disciples spoke likewise. (Passage from the Gospel of St. Matthew 26:31-35)
This is the last message you will receive until I return from my trip to Europe. I will only come back on September 20 in the evening. Do not expect a message before September 22.
Many people who were at the Healing Mass and at the Mass on Saturday morning added many names in the Book of Remembrance. Some added all their brothers and sisters and others put in the names of their family members who are sick. It is wonderful that you offer the members of your family all these Masses, which are the greatest prayers in this world.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I bless you and fill you with My graces, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters scattered all over the world. All you, who believe in Me and belong to My Church, are part of the Kingdom of God I established when I was on earth.
It was very difficult for the Apostles to remain strong in their faith when I was arrested and beaten. They had all said that they would follow Me even to death but soon after My arrest they fled and went to hide. There were only two Apostles who stayed with Me. One was St. Peter but at one time He denied Me three times as I had foretold. The other one who followed Me was St. John who accompanied My dear Mother to the cross. However, you know that St. Peter repented of what he did and I forgave him and after that he remained attached to Me for the rest of his life. All of you will have to go through trials, but remain closely united with Me and you will not sin. I love you all and I desire that you will all be with Me one day in heaven.”
Father Melvin
