Jesus High Priest
Dear Friends,
A reading from the Book of Hebrews (5:1-10):
Every high priest is taken from among men and made their representative before God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He is able to deal patiently with the ignorant and erring, for he himself is beset by weakness and so, for this reason, must make sin offerings for himself as well as for the people. No one takes this honor upon himself but only when called by God, just as Aaron was.
In the same way, it was not Christ who glorified himself in becoming high priest, but rather the one who said to him: “You are my son; this day I have begotten you”; just as he says in another place: “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”
In the days when he was in the flesh, he offered prayers and supplications with loud cries and tears to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered; and when he was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him, declared by God high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

Yesterday was a rainy day but the rain stopped in the evening. We should have a sunny day today. Let us continue to pray for the people of the Philippines who have suffered terribly a few days ago because of the wild typhoon that hit their country. Many have been killed.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I ask you, My dear brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters, to accept Me as the High Priest appointed by the Father for the people of the world. I am your representative before the Father and I offered Myself in oblation for your salvation. When I was on earth I offered every day prayers and supplication for all of you. As a human being I learned obedience to My Father by what I suffered and once I was perfect I became the source of eternal salvation for you all who obey Me. Being both human and divine, I was the perfect one to atone for all your sins. Come now, My friends, and give yourselves totally to Me and I will lead to the promised land, to heaven. I bless you all.”
