The Lament for Jerusalem

The Lament for Jerusalem

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 19, 41 – 44:

As Jesus drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,saying, “If this day you only knew what makes for peace–but now it is hidden from your eyes. For the days are coming upon you when your enemies will raise a palisade against you; they will encircle you and hem you in on all sides. They will smash you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another within you because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”

We had another terrible winterstorm yesterday and today, Monday. About one foot of snow fell (about 25 cm.) To make it worst it was very windy and yesterday after 3:00 p.m. we lost power and it was not restored until near noon today. It was very cold in my house and I hardly slept the whole night. I could not send out the message yesterday because the power was gone. My computer would not work. However, now the house is heated and once more it is nice to live inside.

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

“You know My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters that Jerusalem played a great role in the life of the Jewish people and in My life too. The greatest Temple of God was in that city and the Jewish people came there as a nation every year to worship God the Father and to offer sacrifices. It played an important part in My life because I was brought to the Temple when I was an infant and St. Joseph and My Mother offered Me to God the Father as I was the first born of that family. I used to come from Nazareth to Jerusalem every year once I was twelve years of age to pray and it was there that My parents search for Me for three days until they found Me in the Temple. I spoke often in the Temple after I started My public life. It was in Jerusalem where I was condemned to death, walk the Way of the Cross and was nailed to the cross just outside the walls of Jerusalem and buried there. I appeared to the Apostles after My resurrection in Jerusalem. However, because the people of this city refused to welcome Me and had Me killed, in the year 70 Jerusalem was destroyed completely including the Temple. This Temple has never been rebuilt and it will never be rebuilt. Many of the people of this city were killed when the Romans destroyed it in the year 70. If they had welcomed Me when I entered it as the King, this would not have happened. However, My death in Jerusalem was the great sacrifice of Mine for the salvation of the people of the world.
My dear friends, look upon Jerusalem as the place that rejected Me and it was destroyed. If you do not follow Me and go to church every Sunday and pray regularly, you too will be destroyed by burning in hell. So come follow Me now before it is too late and you will be saved. I will give you peace and joy on earth and eternal happiness forever in heaven. I bless you all.”

The Entry into Jerusalem

The Entry into Jerusalem

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 19, 28 – 40:

After he had said this, Jesus proceeded on his journey up to Jerusalem. As he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples. He said, “Go into the village opposite you, and as you enter it you will find a colt tethered on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here. And if anyone should ask you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you will answer, ‘The Master has need of it.'” So those who had been sent went off and found everything just as he had told them. And as they were untying the colt, its owner said to them, “Why are you untying this colt?” They answered, “The Master has need of it.” So they brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks over the colt, and helped Jesus to mount. As he rode along, the people were spreading their cloaks on the road, and now as he was approaching the slope of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of his disciples began to praise God aloud with joy for all the mighty deeds they had seen. They proclaimed:
“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord.
Pease in heaven and glory in the highest.”
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” He said in reply, “I tell you, if they keep silent, the stones will cry out.”

We are arriving at the fifth Sunday of Lent and next Sunday it will be Palm Sunday and the beginning of Holy Week. We have to prepare now for Holy Week, the days of the Passion and Easter Sunday. Great days are approaching. Today I attended the funeral of a friend of mine who was found dead in his home. He was a man with great faith and he came to our monthly meeting for Pro-Life. Many attended the Funeral Mass.

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

“I am your King My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who call Me the Messiah, the Savior of the world. As the story says I sent two of My disciples to the village opposite where we were to go and bring the colt they will find tied there. They did go and found the colt and brought it to Me. I sat on it and the people put their coats on the road so the colt could pass over them. They sang this hymn: “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord.” There was great joy in all the people present as they walked along near the Mount of Olives. Yes, indeed I am the King who arrives in the City of God to offer Myself in sacrifice for the salvation of all the people of the world.
My dear friends, I call you too to join in spirit My disciples as they celebrated My entry into Jerusalem. This is the Holy City of God for the Father has chosen it for his great Temple. The temple was the greatest place of worship in the whole world and all the Jewish people would come there every year to worship and to offer sacrifices for themselves and their families. Today however the temple does not exist any more. It was destroyed by the Romans in the year 70. Now that I have come into the world as the Messiah and Lord, the place of worship are the churches spread throughout the world. All who believe in Me go to their church and join in the Holy Mass and come to receive Me in Holy Communion. My true churches are the places were I reside in the Holy Eucharist. They are my homes and your place to come and worship. Do this regularly. I bless you all.”

Zacchaeus the Tax Collector

Zacchaeus the Tax Collector

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 19, 1 – 10:

Jesus came to Jericho and intended to pass through the town. Now a man there named Zacchaeus, who was a chief tax collector and also a wealthy man, was seeking to see who Jesus was; but he could not see him because of the crowd, for he was short in stature. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus, who was about to pass that way. When he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house. And he came down quickly and received him with joy. When they all saw this, they began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to stay at the house of a sinner.” But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I shall give to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone I shall repay it four times over.” And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house because this man too is a descendant of Abraham. For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost.”

I thank all those who sent me money in the last few days. I still need $500 in order to pay my bill on Monday. If you can help me, please send it by Interac or by Paypal. I am praying for you every day. Today we began the season of Spring. Here it was sunny all day and it was minus 2 this afternoon and some of the snow melted. I pray that we do not get any more snow. We have enough.

Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,

“I bless you My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who follow My Son Jesus every day and who remember Me in your prayers and you pray the rosary every day. We have today in the reading the beautiful story of Zacchaeus who lived in Jericho on the edge of the Israeli desert. My Son was passing through the town and Zacchaeus wanted to see him but he was short in stature, so he ran ahead and climbed a tree and so he would be able to see Him without trouble. When My Son arrived at the tree where Zacchaeus was, He stopped and told him to come down. Zacchaeus came down and My Son Jesus told him that He wanted to stay at his house that night. He was welcomed with great joy by Zacchaeus and he told Jesus, My Son, that he will give half of his possession to the poor and if he has extorted anyone he would pay him four times over. This man shows that he believes in My Son Jesus as the Messiah and he was blessed by My Son, who told him that today salvation has come to this house.
See how important faith is! If you have faith and you act on your faith, you will be saved. Come all My children and follow My Son Jesus with great faith. He will bless you and you will be saved. My Son came into the world to save you and that is why He suffered and died on the cross. Now He is risen from the dead and He is your King who calls you to walk with Him. Come repent of all your sins, help those in need, and pray regularly and go to church on Sunday. You will be in heaven with Him and with Me one day. I love you all.”
