The Prayer of Jesus (2)
A reading from the Gospel of Saint John 17, 6 – 19:
Jesus said to His Heavenly Father, “I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world. They belong to you, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything you gave me is from you, because the words you gave to me I have given to them, and they accepted them and truly understand that I came from you, and they have believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for the ones you have given me, because they are yours, and everything of mine is yours and everything of yours in mine, and I have been glorified in them. And now I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, while I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are. When I was with them I protected them in your name that you gave me, and I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you. I speak this in the world so that they may share my joy completely. I gave them your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the evil one. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I send them into the world. And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth.”
Yesterday Monday we had a rainy day. It rained from morning to evening. It should be nicer today. I thank the Lord that now I have some food to eat and I can sleep well. May the Lord bless you all.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“Come My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters and have a great love for Our Heavenly Father. When I was with the Apostles at the Last Supper, I offered a prayer to My Heavenly Father for all of you who believe in Me. I offered all My dear brothers and sisters to the Father especially at that time as it was now time for Me to pass from this world and go and be with My Father. So My prayer was to ask for the consecration of all those the Father had given Me. I prayed that all be protected from the evil one and that they remain always in close union with the Father and with Me. I know that the world does not love them because they belong to Me. I also consecrated Myself for them so that they be consecrated in all that is true.
My dear friends, I want you all to promise My Heavenly Father that you will pray every day and go to Holy Mass every Sunday. If you do this you will be filled with peace, love and joy and I will bless you everyday. I love you all.”
