The Commissioning of the Disciples
Dear Friends,
The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them. When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted. Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” (Passage from the Gospel of Saint Matthew 28:16-20)
I am back from giving a three-day retreat at the Trappist Monastery in Rogersville, New Brunswick. Everything went well. On Saturday I had a Healing Mass and one woman shared yesterday morning about the great gift of love she received which filled her with great joy. She could not lift one arm higher than her shoulder for the last nine months, but this morning she could lift both arms above her head. I expect others were healed but many left for home Saturday evening after the healing service.
I will soon begin to prepare for my trip to Repentigny in the Province of Quebec. I will arrive in Repentigny on Monday, October 10, around 5:00 p.m. Then on October 12, I will go to Sorel-Tracy for one day and on October 13 I will go to Quebec City and on the 14th I will start a retreat at a church just outside of the city. All are welcome to attend these days.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I bless you, My son Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living throughout the world. I want you all to believe in Me with all your heart. I gave a command to the Apostles just before My Ascension to go throughout the world and teach the people all I have taught them, and if they believe to baptize them. I also gave this command to My Church founded on St. Peter. She has the duty to send missionaries to all the countries of the world to teach the people and to call them to believe and enter My Church through Baptism. All My followers are called to help in this great mission. Please pray for the conversion of all the people of the world. I bless you all, My followers, and I give you many graces and gifts.”
