The Assumption of Our Blessed Mother
Dear Friends,
A reading from the Book of Revelation (11:19, 12:1-10a):
Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant could be seen in the temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder, an earthquake, and a violent hailstorm.
A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth.
Then another sign appeared in the sky; it was a huge red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadems. Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky and hurled them down to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth. She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was caught up to God and his throne. The woman herself fled into the desert where she had a place prepared by God, that there she might be taken care of for twelve hundred and sixty days.
Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back, but they did not prevail and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. The huge dragon, the ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world, was thrown down to earth, and its angels were thrown down with it.
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have salvation and power come, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ.”

Today is the great Feast of the Assumption of Our Blessed Mother. She is in heaven body and soul. Jesus could not leave Her body in the tomb, as She had never committed any sin. She is now in glory and She is praying for us all here on earth. Let us show our great love for Our Dear Mother.
Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
“I am your loving Mother, My dear son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who have a great devotion to Me. Today the Church is celebrating My entrance into heaven with both body and soul. My Son Jesus made sure that I would not leave My body on earth, so I am now in heaven with My glorified body like His. We are the only two who are in heaven with our bodies. You too if you follow My Son Jesus will be heaven at the end of the world with a glorified Body like mine. Remember that I am your Mother and I pray for you every day. I call on you all to accept Me as your Mother and to pray your rosary daily. Follow what the Church of My Son Jesus teaches you and never forget to go to Holy Mass every Sunday. With the graces He gives you may you avoid sin and continuously walk with Him. I love you all with all My Heart and I want you all close to Me and My Son Jesus.”
Father Melvin
P.S. I wish you all a very special Feast of Our Blessed Mother.
