The Work of the Holy Spirit
A reading from Saint Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians 2, 10 – 16:
For the Spirit scrutinizes everything, even the depth of God. Among human beings, who knows what pertains to a person except the spirit of the person that is within? Similarly, no one knows what pertains to God except the Spirit of God. We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit that is from God, so that we may understand the things freely given us by God. And we speak about them not with words taught by human wisdom, but with words taught by the Spirit, describing spiritual realities in spiritual terms..
Now the natural person does not accept what pertains to the Spirit of God, for to him it is foolishness, and he cannot understand it, because it is judged spiritually. The spiritual person, however, can judge everything but is not subject to judgment by anyone.
For “who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to counsel him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
I wish to thank all those who sent me money. I received today $1,200 and this is a great help. There is still about $2,000 to clear the whole thing. I pray that the rest will come soon. May the Lord bless you all and may Our Blessed Mother pray that you receive all the graces you need.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“You know My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters that there are three divine persons in the Holy Trinity.The three Names are: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The three divine persons are equal and have all power. In the reading of today from Saint Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, Paul speaks about the Holy Spirit. Yes, we know that some have rejected the Holy Spirit and this is the case with the Jewish people and a certain amount of the Gentiles too. These purely natural people are taken over by the things of this world and they think in a worldly manner. For them the Spirit of God is foolishness because they cannot understand what the Spirit is.
The people however who believe in Me, their Savior, and have received the Holy Spirit in Baptism and by Confirmation, they believe in the Holy Spirit and they know the power of the Spirit. They have heard people speaking in tongues, others have prophesied and others have healed sick people. I am the one who heals the sick with the power of the Holy Spirit. So I call you all to believe in the Holy Spirit and to accept all the strength and power that He gives you. I bless you all.”

P.S. It was windy this morning but sunny and the wind went down in the evening.
