The Mission of the Twelve
A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 6, 12 – 16:
In those days, Jesus departed to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God. When day came, he called his disciples to himself, and from them he chose Twelve, whom he also named apostles: Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called a Zealot, and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
I wish to thank all those who sent me money to help me pay the bills so that I can received the money for the building of the monasteries and the shrine to Our Blessed Mother. I will still need more money for next week and then I hope that will be all. Please pray with me that the money will come in shortly. We have to prepare all the plans for all these buildings and that takes time. I already did much of it and I know where these buildings are to be built as Our Blessed Mother told me.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Be people of prayer My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who listen to My teachings. I loved to go up the mountain to pray and I would stay there the whole night. I would pray to My Heavenly Father and this gave Me a great joy in My heart. I would contemplate My Father in heaven and I would listen to Him with an open heart. During this night as written above My Father spoke to Me about appointing the twelve Apostles. He gave Me their names and He told Me what they were to do. They were to live with Me for the next three years and listen to all that I taught the people. I would also teach them often about their way of life. They were to be prepared to lead My Church which I founded on them with Saint Peter as the head. You see where there is a list of Apostles, Peter is always put first for he is their leader. They had to experience many things of My life like the healing of the sick, the chasing of evil spirits from the people, the healing of the blind and those who were lepers, the walking on the waters, the calming of the wind on the sea, the feeding of the five thousand with a few loaves of bread and some fish, My transfiguration on the mountain and the Last Supper. The Apostles saw all these things that I did and this was to teach them and to help them have a strong faith in Me so they could work for Me all their days as builders of My Church. They worked very well and all but one are saints in heaven today.
Show your love, My brothers and sisters, for the Apostles by following what they have taught you about Me and to follow My Church which they have build up with great courage and work. I live in My Church for it is My Mystical Body. I bless you all.”
