Signs and Wonders of the Apostles
Dear Friends,
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (5:12-21a):
Many signs and wonders were done among the people at the hands of the apostles. They were all together in Solomon’s portico. None of the others dared to join them, but the people esteemed them. Yet more than ever, believers in the Lord, great numbers of men and women, were added to them. Thus they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on one or another of them. A large number of people from the towns in the vicinity of Jerusalem also gathered, bringing the sick and those disturbed by unclean spirits, and they were all cured.
Then the high priest rose up and all his companions, that is, the party of the Sadducees, and, filled with jealousy, laid hands upon the apostles and put them in the public jail. But during the night, the angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, led them out, and said, “Go and take your place in the temple area, and tell the people everything about this life.” When they heard this, they went to the temple early in the morning and taught.

We had a cold day yesterday but the sun came out in the afternoon and it was warmer although it was windy.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Believe that I have all power My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters as you rejoice during this Easter Season. Saint Peter and the other Apostles received a great gift from Me to heal the sick people and those possessed by evil spirits. However, the chief priest and the Sadducees were not happy about this at all. They had Peter and the others arrested and placed in jail. I sent the angel to open the door and to let them out and to return to the temple to do their work. They worked very well and attracted many people who came to listen to them and to believe in Me.
“This great work of mine continues today in many parts of the world. I have chosen a good number of people to do just like Saint Peter and the other Apostles and there are many who marveled at these great healings and come to believe and follow Me. Only One with divine power can bring about these great miracles. See that I am working miracles in My Church for I want you to be part of this great Community founded by Me. It is the Catholic Church. I bless you all.”
