Coming Persecutions

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Matthew 10, 16- 25:

Jesus said, “Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves. But beware of people, for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues, and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake as a witness before them and the pagans. When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. No disciple is above his teacher, no slave above his master. It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, for the slave that he become like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household.”

A few days ago I was asked to pray for a woman with breast cancer and she was to be operated on Thursday. I prayed for her and asked Jesus to heal her completely. When the doctor examined her just before the operation, he found out that the cancer was gone. She was completely free of that breast cancer. I praised the Lord for this great healing.

Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words, “I bless you My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who have great faith in My Son Jesus and who follow Him. He told His Apostles that they would suffer persecution because the leaders of the country did not believe in Him. You know that the Jewish leaders are the ones who condemned Him to death and the Roman soldiers carried out the sentence. If any of you is hauled before a court, do not worry about what you are to say because the Holy Spirit will enlighten you. He will speak through you.
You know that all the Apostles except John suffered persecution and were killed. They are all martyrs who followed in the footstep of Jesus, My Son. After the Apostles many Christians were killed because of their faith in their Savior. Even today there are many all over the world who are suffering although they have not done anything wrong. The Moslems are persecuting many Christians in many countries and I pray to My Son that He stops this. I call you all to pray for these persecuted Christians that they will have the strength to withstand all this and to endure until the end and so they will be saved. I love you all.”
