The Bread of Life
Dear Friends,
Below you will find the passage from the Gospel of St. John 6:34-40.
Jesus said to the crowd, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst. But I told you that although you have seen me, you do not believe. Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me, because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me. And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it on the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him on the last day.”
Last evening I went to our Parish Church for one hour of adoration. The Blessed Sacrament is exposed on the altar every Tuesday from after the nine o’clock Mass in the morning until six o’clock in the evening. Today I will have Holy Mass at the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island at 9:30 a.m. and in the evening I will have to go to Miscouche near Summerside to take part in a meeting. I am on the board for the Acadian Museum in that village.
(Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Father Melvin. This is the message Jesus gave him.)
“As I bless you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in every part of the world, I call you all to believe in Me with all your heart. So many today are losing their faith because they do not put it in practice. I want you all to go to church at least every Sunday. I call you to believe that I am the Bread of Life. When the Jews were in the desert, I gave them manna to eat and this manna was a foretaste of what I would give you during My stay on earth with you. I gave you Myself as food and drink. As you know I took bread and spoke the words, ‘This is My Body,‘and then gave it to the Apostles to eat. What they ate was My flesh under the appearance of bread. Then I took the chalice filled with wine and I said, ‘This is the chalice of My Blood,‘ and I gave the chalice to the Apostles to drink. They drank My Blood. So I am truly present under the species of bread and wine. Believe these words.”
