The Messengers from John the Baptist
A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 7, 18 – 23:
The disciples of John told him about all these things, John summoned two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?” When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?'” At that time Jesus cured many of their diseases, sufferings, and evil spirits, he also granted sight to many who were blind. And he said to John’s disciples in reply, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the good news proclaimed to them. And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me.”
The big pro-life procession in Washington, DC will soon take place. Every year hundreds of thousands of people go to Washington to take part in this procession along the streets of the big city. They wish to show the world that abortion is the killing of innocent unborn children which is a horrible sin in the eyes of God. No one has the right to kill these innocent children. Our Blessed Mother told me that every child has the right to life. It is a great suffering for Her that so many people are killing Her children whom She loves with all Her heart. Let us pray every day for the end of the killing of these dear children, created by God with the hope that they would be in heaven after a life on earth.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Believe My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters that John the Baptist was the greatest prophet. He is the one who pointed to Me as the Messiah, the Savior, of the world. He worked hard at the Jordan River baptizing the Jewish people as a symbol of their repentance of their sins and preparing themselves for My coming among them. John had sent two men to Me to ask Me this question: “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?” John wanted that his disciples would follow Me so that is why he sent them to Me. I told the disciples what I was doing: curing the blind, the lame, the lepers, the deaf and the dead were raised from the dead. I also told them that I was teaching the poor the good news. Having received these words, they returned to John the Baptist and told him what I had said. You know that John knew that I was the Messiah and he told his disciples that now they had to follow Me.
These words I addressed to the disciples of John the Baptist, I now give them to each one of you. Believe, My friends, that indeed I brought about through My own power great miracles for all the people to see. Through these miracles they would come to believe that indeed I am the one sent by God the Father as the Redeemer of the world. I was fulfilling all that was written in the Old Testament about Me from the Book of Genesis and from the many prophets. The Book of Genesis says this: “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will strike at your head, while you strike at his heel.” (Genesis 3, 15 – 16) My Heavenly Father spoke about the devil and My Mother Mary. Her offspring is nobody else but Me and I am the one who was tol strike at his head, although he struck at My heal. This means that I will defeat the devil but he will have Me killed. And indeed this is what happened when I was on earth. I came to defeat Satan and to save you all by My death on the cross, but three days later I came back to life never to die again. I am now your Savior who lives forever at the right hand of My Father in heaven. I bless you all.”
