The Woman and the Dragon
A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth. Then another sign appeared in the sky; it was a huge red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadems. Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky and hurled them down to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth. She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was caught up to God and his throne. The woman herself fled into the desert where she had a place prepared by God, that there she might be taken care of for twelve hundred and sixty days. Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back, but they did not prevail and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. The huge dragon, the ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world, was thrown down to earth, and its angels were thrown down with it. (Passage from the Book of Revelation 12:1-9)
Dear Friends,
I celebrated the Healing Mass last evening at the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island and a good crowd was present. I prayed with all the people present and I also put the names on the altar of all those who e-mailed me or phone me and asked for prayers. The Lord was working in a wonderful way. I will celebrate Holy Mass this morning at 9:30 a.m. in Our Lady’s Little Shrine in honor of Saint Andre of Montreal.
(Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. Our Lady spoke to him these words:)
“I bless you, My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters, who accept Me as your Mother. I want you never to doubt that the Devil, Satan, exists. He was an angel in heaven but because of his pride he rebelled against God and finally he was thrown down to the earth by the Archangel Michael and his angels. You must always be on the alert against the evil one. He will try in different ways to get you to turn against God and to commit sin. His only purpose for what he is doing is to bring you with him to hell. Pray regularly to St. Michael the Archangel that he may protect you. Follow My Son, Jesus, every day by praying and asking for His help. He is always there to help you. You must go to church regularly and receive Him with a heart full of love and you need to repent of all your sins. Jesus is the great example for you and I too, with the grace of God, was able to resist Satan and avoid sin. Only My Son has the power to help you every day for indeed He is the Son of God and your Savior. He suffered and died for you so you could be saved. Avoid every temptation that comes from the evil one or from others who are in league with him. I am praying for you that you will work daily with the graces you receive to follow the way of holiness. I love you all.”
