The Gospel Teaching
Dear Friends,
A reading from Saint Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians (1 Cor 15:1-11):
Now I am reminding you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you indeed received and in which you also stand. Through it you are also being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures; that he was buried; that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures; that he appeared to Kephas, then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. After that he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
Last of all, as to one born abnormally, he appeared to me. For I am the least of the apostles, not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been ineffective. Indeed, I have toiled harder than all of them; not I, however, but the grace of God that is with me. Therefore, whether it be I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

Our dear Mother calls for prayers that Her desires will soon be accomplished. We know that She is praying for us every day.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord, the Son of God, given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Believe the words preached to you in My Church, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have accepted Me as your Savior. Saint Paul worked hard to spread the good news of the Gospel in many countries, and many came to believe and to follow Me. You know that I am the Son of God born of Blessed Virgin Mary. I came into the world by taking upon Myself human nature through My Blessed Mother so I could teach you and suffer and die for your salvation. I agreed to suffer and die for you because I love you. You know that I suffered terribly and I died a horrible death nailed to the cross. Yet three days afterwards, I came back from the dead never to die again. After forty days with My Apostles after My resurrection, I ascended into heaven and now I sit at the right hand of My Heavenly Father as the King of the Universe. I have all power to help you and to guide you. So come and believe in Me and I will be your friend on earth and one day welcome you in heaven. I love you all.”
Father Melvin
