The Narrow Door
Dear Friends,
Jesus passed through towns and villages, teaching as he went and making his way to Jerusalem. Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few people be saved?” He answered them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough. After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door, then will you stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ He will say to you in reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ And you will say, ‘We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our streets.’ Then he will say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers!’ And there will be wailing and grinding of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves cast out. And people will come from the east and the west and from the north and the south and will recline at table in the kingdom of God. For behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.” (Passage from the Gospel of St. Luke 13:22-30)
I concelebrated Holy Mass with the parish priest of the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road, yesterday morning at 11:00 a.m. There was a good crowd of people present and I helped to distribute Holy Communion. Today I will go to the Manor in Alberton to celebrate Holy Mass for the elderly living there and I will go to visit those who are bedridden to give them the Holy Eucharist. I ask you all to pray for my brother, Hector. He is not speaking any more. It is now five days that he has stopped talking completely.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I greet today those who believe in Me and follow Me, especially you, My brother Melvin, and all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world. If you follow Me you are truly My brothers and sisters. However, today there are many who are not following the way I traced out for them. If you reject Me, your Lord and Savior, how can you be saved? I am the door by which you enter the Kingdom of God.
There are many today who are following the evil one with the result that they are far from Me. If you follow the New Age movement, the Jehovah Witnesses, Wicca, or any other sect and do things like Reiki you can be possessed by evil spirits and they will carry you to hell. I call you all who have entered these non-Christian sects to get out of there as soon as possible and come back to Me. You know that Islam is not Christian and the Jewish religion is opposed to Me. All should get out of these religions and come and enter My Church and follow My teachings and you will be saved. I am the only Savior who came into the world to bring you all to heaven. It is absolutely necessary that you believe in Me and accept Me as your Savior. I call you all who are not part of My Church to accept that you are on the wrong road and come now and follow the right way.”

Father, I had been brought up in the JW organization, had been ‘kicked out’ twice, which was a huge blessing (that was 30 yrs ago)! Ten yrs after that, is when I experienced my conversion, thru the Queen of Peace! Ive never been the same since that born again experience!! My mother, who, sad to say, did not understand, recently passed away, in fact, this past July, and her ashes will be spread, I believe today, which is fitting on this special feast day of All Saints. Pls pray for her soul and for my father (who never was JW, Catholic thru his baptism, but not practicing). Thank you, God bless you, Helen.
