The Story of Creation
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth all kinds of living creatures: cattle, creeping things, and wild animals of all kinds.” And so it happened: God made all kinds of wild animals, all kinds of cattle, and all kinds of creeping things of the earth. God saw how good it was. Then God said: “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and the cattle, and over all the wild animals and all the creatures that crawl on the ground.” God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them, saying: “Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that move on the earth.” God also said: “See, I give you every seed-bearing plant all over the earth and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit on it to be your food; and to all the animals of the land, all the birds of the air, and all the living creatures that crawl on the ground, I give all the green plants for food.” And so it happened. God looked at everything he had made, and he found it very good. Evening came, and morning followed — the sixth day. (Passage from the Book of Genesis 1:24-31)
Dear Friends,
I had a lovely New Year’s Day. I concelebrated Holy Mass yesterday morning at the Parish of the Immaculate Conception, Palmer Road. Many people took part. In the afternoon I went with a friend to the Chinese Restaurant for a lovely meal. The weather was great, just about 1 degree Celsius. There is no snow or ice on the roads; it is just like the Spring season.
(Below you will find the message of God the Father given to Father Melvin. The Father spoke to him these words:)
“I bless you, My son Melvin, and all My sons and daughters spread throughout the world. I am the one who created the world and all that is in it. I created the land and the sea, the rivers and the lakes. I also created the mountains and the valleys. I created the sun and the moon and the stars and all that you see in the world: the trees, the shrubs, the flowers, the fruit trees, all the fish in the water, all the birds in the air and all the wild animals. At the end I created the first man and woman. So, My children, I created your body and every part of it. I created you in my own image and likeness. I created a spirit, a soul, for each one of you at your conception.
Why did I create you? I created you out of love. I created every human being so they could know Me and love Me. I want you all to follow Me and be united with Me forever one day in heaven. After the first man and woman sinned against Me, I promised them a Savior and you know that I have sent My Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to be born among you and to be your Savior. He was born of a holy Virgin in the same manner as every human being. He came among you to teach you the way and to offer Himself in sacrifice on the cross for your salvation. He loves you and I love you too.”
Father Melvin
