The Healing of a Woman and a Girl
A reading from the Gospel of Saint Matthew 9, 18 – 27:
While Jesus was saying these things to them, an official came forward, knelt down before him, and said, “My daughter has just died. But come, lay your hand on her, and she will live.” Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples. A woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. She said to herself, “If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured.” Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, “Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you.” And from that hour the woman was cured.
When Jesus arrived at the official’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd who were making a commotion, he said, “Go away! The girl is not dead but sleeping.” And they ridiculed him. When the crowd was put out, he came and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose. And news of this spread throughout all that land.
I read today on the internet about this man who had built a mega church and he was the leader of about 30,000 people. He lived in Sweden in Northern Europe. He had been in charge of this church for many years. A few weeks ago he announced to his congregation on Sunday that he and his wife had decided to become Catholic. He said that it was Jesus who had called them to join the Catholic Church. This really had a great impact on the people of his church. I am praying now that all these people will follow their leader and become Catholic too.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words, “I bless you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world. When I was on earth I healed many people. Some would come to let me know that a person of their family was very sick or had died. Sometimes the sick would come to meet Me and beg for a healing. In the reading of today, you have the two examples.
A man came to me to say that his daughter had just died and asked Me to go to his home and bring her back to life. I agreed to go with him and as I was going a woman came behind Me and touched My cloak and she was healed. I felt power leave Me and that is why I turned around and told her that her faith had saved her. She was totally healed. She had suffered for twelve years.
Then when I arrived at the man’s home I found many people there mourning. I asked them to go out and after I went to the room where the daughter was. I placed My hand on her head and she came back to life. People were amazed to see that this girl was walking and in good health.
It was always a joy for Me to heal the sick or to bring back the dead to life. As the Son of God, I had all power to heal any sickness and to bring back the dead to life. I did all this out of love for the people and at the same time it was a teaching to the people especially My Apostles. They came to realize that only God can do such great miracles and they came to believe in Me as their Savior and Lord.
You too My brothers and sisters as you read these healing stories you will be brought to the realization that I am not just a human person but I am more. Come and accept that I am divine. Yes, I came into this world to be your Savior. I underwent My Passion and Death to bring about another miracle, to save you all form your sins. Now, My friends, repent of your sins and you will enter the light. Know that I am the light and I will bring you to everlasting happiness in the Kingdom of God. I love you all.”
