The Calming of a Storm at Sea
Dear Friends,
A reading from St. Luke’s Gospel (8:22-25):
One day he got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So they set sail, and while they were sailing he fell asleep. A squall blew over the lake, and they were taking in water and were in danger. They came and woke him saying, “Master, master, we are perishing!” He awakened, rebuked the wind and the waves, and they subsided and there was a calm. Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?” But they were filled with awe and amazed and said to one another, “Who then is this, who commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him?”

I wish to thank again all those who sent me donations during the last month. It is a great help to buy heating oil and to pay my bills. If I did not have this money I would have to close the chapel of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island and move away. I am still short and I pray that those who can help will do so as soon as possible. You know the banks freeze all cheques now. If they are from Canada, the cheques are frozen for 10 working days and if they are from the USA, they are frozen for 20 working days and if they come from Europe, they are frozen for 30 days. Please find another way to send money such as bank to bank transfer or put the cash in the envelope and sent the letter by registered mail. Again I thank all those who have helped me in the past.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to me these words,
“I call you to have confidence in Me My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who are baptized and believe in Me. You know the story of the wind on the lake. The Apostles and I were crossing the Lake of Galilee when a wind came up and the Apostles were afraid of drowning. I was asleep and they came and woke Me up. I got up and put out My hand and stopped the wind and the waves and then everything was calm. This was an action that helped the Apostles to believe in Me as the Messiah. Only God can do such things. This action of Mine is written in the Gospels to help you too to believe in Me. I performed many miracles when I was on earth and the Apostles saw many of them. You know that the Apostles are great saints and I call upon you all to believe their words as the truth. Through their words you too must come to believe that I am the Son of God and I have all power to do the things that only God can do. I am your Friend and I want to live with each one of you. I love you all.”
