The Bread of Life Discourse (2)
A reading from the Gospel of Saint John 6, 34 – 45:
So the Jews said to Jesus, “Sir, give us this bread always.” Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst. But I told you that although you have seen me you do not believe. Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me, because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me. And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it on the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him up on the last day.”
The Jews murmured about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,” and they said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? Then how can he say, ‘I have come down from heaven’? Jesus answered and said to them, “Stop murmuring among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him up on the last day. It is written in the prophets, ‘They shall all be taught by God.’
We had a rainy Sunday morning but the sun came out in the afternoon. It was nice with the temperature up to 14 degrees. It became cloudy again in the evening. I ask you all to pray that this week I will receive the date to get the money for building. One woman in Montreal phoned me today and told me that she had a picture of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island in her hand and she noticed that there was oil on the picture. This is indeed a miracle and this tells us that the Island is blessed and all that Our Lady asked will come to be. I am looking forward for this great work for Our Blessed Mother.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I call you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters to believe that I am the Bread of Life. If you want to have life eternal then you have to eat of the Bread of Life. This Bread of Life is of course the Eucharist. When you receive the Eucharist, you receive Me who is living as I am in heaven at the right hand of My Father. When I told this to the Jews they refused to believe. I had told them that I had come down from heaven but they said that they knew My father and My mother. They refused to accept anything I told them, but you My friends believe in Me and know that I am the Son of God, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. You know that what I told the Jews came about on Holy Thursday when I instituted the Holy Eucharist and I gave the Apostles and their successors the power to do the same. Today all priests throughout the world celebrate Holy Mass and bring forth the Holy Eucharist by pronouncing My Words, so that all believers can come and receive Me under the species of bread and wine. I knew I had to disappear from your view but through the Eucharist I am always there present among you. As God I am everywhere but you do not see Me. Although you do not see Me in the Eucharist, you truly believe that I am present there because of what I taught. Have great faith in the Eucharist and you will truly please Me. I bless you all.”
