Peter’s Speech
Dear Friends,
Below you will read a passage from the Acts of the Apostles (10:34-43):
Then Peter proceeded to speak and said, “In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him. You know the word (that) he sent to the Israelites as he proclaimed peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all, what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy Spirit and power. He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. We are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree. This man God raised on the third day and granted that he be visible, not to all the people, but to us, the witnesses chosen by God in advance, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commissioned us to preach to the people and testify that he is the one appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead. To him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins through his name.”
I celebrated Holy Mass yesterday morning in the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island especially to honor Our Blessed Mother on the First Saturday of the month. A good group of people took part. Today I will go to the Church of the Immaculate Conception to concelebrate with the Parish Priest at the 11:00 a.m. Holy Mass. It rained during the night but it is clear this morning.
(Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words.)
“I bless you, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in every part of the world. After My Ascension I sent the Apostles to go all over the world to teach the people all that I had told them. They were told to tell all those who would listen about the life I led while I was with them for three years before I died. Peter was one of them who spoke very well about Me and My teachings. I want all of you to come and listen to the successors of the Apostles for they too have received the same command. They are ordained and sent to teach the truth which they have learned through My Church. My Church cannot teach falsehood but the truth passed on to her leaders by the Apostles. You know the successor of St. Peter is the Pope of Rome and he has the gift of infallibility and therefore he cannot teach error. What he teaches is the truth. All the Bishops and the priests are to follow the Pope and teach the truth he has made known to them.
The great truth that has to be spread throughout the world these days is that abortion is a grave sin and no Catholic is to be involved in the killing of these babies. I want an end to this slaughter of those innocent infants created by God and having a mortal soul. They have a right to life and no one is to deprive them of this right. You are called to respect life from the moment of conception till natural death. I love you all.”
Father Melvin
