Freedom from Sin, Life in God (2)

A reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Romans 12 – 23:

Therefore, sin must not reign over your mortal bodies so that you obey their desires. And do not present the parts of your bodies to sin as weapons for wickedness, but present yourselves to God as raised from the dead to life and the parts of your bodies to God as weapons for righteousness. For sin is not to have any power over you, since you are not under the law but under grace.
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? Of course not! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin; which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, although you were once slaves of sin, you have become obedient from the heart to the pattern of teaching to which you were entrusted. Freed from sin, you have become slaves of righteousness. I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your nature. For just as you presented the parts of your bodies as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness for lawlessness, so now present them as slaves to righteousness for sanctification. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free from righteousness. But what profit did you get then from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now that you have been freed from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit that you have leads to sanctification, and its end is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I thank the Lord for He is our greatest Friend. I wrote a few days ago that I needed money but guess what, I received $4,000 and I am so pleased. I know I will receive what is still missing and I will be filled with joy. Our Blessed Mother is also praying for me and I know that the rest of the money will come in the next few days. Thank you My Lord Jesus. Thank you My dear Mother for all that you do.

You will find below the message of Our Dear Mother Mary given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,

“I love you My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who have given their lives to My Son Jesus and to Me. Follow the way of Jesus, My Son, and you will be blessed. What hurts Me today is the fact that many people have left the right way and now follow the way of sin and of darkness. Many of My children end up in hell and this causes Me great suffering. I want that all My sons and daughters be saved and end up with Me in heaven.
Come My dear children and live as Christians who avoid sin and love to follow the way of righteousness. You have been freed by baptism, do not fall into slavery again. Pray every day and ask for the help that you need. You all need the graces from My Son Jesus to be able to say ‘no’ to the evil one and ‘yes’ to your Lord and Savior. Why are there so many of My children leaving the right path and getting lost in the darkness of sin? Do not let the attraction of the world and of sin detract you from the pursuit of holiness in order to fulfill your call to be saints in heaven. You only have a short time to live on earth but in heaven you will live in great happiness for eternity. Come, My dear children, and remain close to Jesus, My Son, and to Me, your Mother. I love you all.”
