Sayings of Jesus
Dear Friends,
A reading from St. Luke’s Gospel (12:10-21):
“Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. When they take you before synagogues and before rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what your defense will be or about what you are to say. For the holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say.”
Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.” He replied to him, “Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?” Then he said to the crowd, “Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does not consist of possessions.”
Then he told them a parable. “There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest. He asked himself, ‘What shall I do, for I do not have space to store my harvest?’ And he said, ‘This is what I shall do: I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones. There I shall store all my grain and other goods and I shall say to myself, “Now as for you, you have so many good things stored up for many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!” But God said to him, ‘You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?’ Thus will it be for the one who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich in what matters to God.”

I thank all those who have helped me in my problems. May the Lord bless you all.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Have great respect for God My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who live on earth. It is God the Father who created you and gave you all what you have on earth. You should thank Him every day but especially for having given you life. Life is the greatest gift that any human being can receive. Safeguard your life prudently and pray and ask for the graces and help that you need to walk in union with your God and Lord. Never speak harsh words against the Holy Spirit or of any person of the Blessed Trinity but love the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Be humble in your dealings with your friends and neighbors and never show off. I call you to be always ready to receive the call to leave this world. Your home, you know, is in heaven. You will go there if you are prepared according to the way I told you. Work and follow the Commandments of God and you will reach your destination one day. I love you all.”
