Answer to Prayer

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 11, 9 – 13:

Jesus said, “And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. What father among you would hand his son a snake when he asks for a fish? Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”

Again I thank all those who have sent me money. I can say that the words of the Gospel written above have been answered in my case. I prayed to the Lord to help me and all who sent me money means that they have said “yes” to the Lord. You are blessed indeed and the Father blesses you with His graces.

Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,

“Be people of faith My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who listen to Me. If you have faith then you will come to the Father and to Me with a prayer from the heart and we will listen to you. If you pray from the heart then what is written above will come true. My words are: ‘For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. However, sometimes you will receive what you want at the last moment. My brother Melvin, you were in need of money to buy heating oil and you received the money just in time. If the money had arrived one day later, then the oil tank would have gone empty during the night and you would have awakened in a very cold house. However, the oil arrived just at the right time and you did not run out of heating oil. I do this because I want to test your faith. If you have little faith then you would be very upset in such cases but if you have faith you will say, ‘There is still one day for the money to come and so I continue to pray.’ In this way you show your great faith in Me. The Father and I know what you need so come and ask for your needs. We will come to help you for We love you. You are not to pray only when you need something but you are asked to pray every day. Do not forget to pray your rosary every day and you are to pray other prayers too. In this way you will remain close to Our Father and to Me, your Brother. I bless you all.”

P.S. We had a mostly sunny day with some clouds and a dusting of snow in the evening.
