The Cleansing of Ten Lepers

The Cleansing of Ten Lepers

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 17, 11 – 19:

As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee. As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him and raised their voice, saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!” And when he saw them, he said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” As they were going they were cleansed. And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice, and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan. Jesus said in reply, “Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” Then he said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.”

Today three people came to see me. The three of them were sick. The man has cancer of the lungs. His wife suffers from Alzheimer and the other lady has difficulty in hearing. I prayed on all the three of them. Afterwards, we went to eat together and then they returned home. I prayed that they will be healed.

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

“I know you believe My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters that I am a great healer. When I was on earth I healed many, many people from all kinds of illnesses. Today you have just read that I healed ten lepers. This is a horrible sickness and thank God there is no leprosy in the northern countries but there are many people with that sickness in Africa and in other parts of the world. These ten lepers called upon Me to have pity on them. I sent them to show themselves to a priest and they left. On the way they noticed that they were all healed. Only one returned to thank Me and this man was a Samaritan and he was not a Jew. You would think that all those who were healed would return to give thanks but only one came although all the others were healed.
This is what I see often. People would ask for a healing or a gift that they need but when they receive what they wanted they do not come back to give thanks. This is not right. Make sure you give thanks to God the Father for all the wonderful things He does for you. In this way He will continue to give you many gifts in the future. I love you all and I bless you.”

Temptations to Sin

Temptations to Sin

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 17, 1 – 6:

Jesus said to his disciples, “Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the person through whom they occur. It would be better for him if a milestone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. Be on your guard. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, ‘I am sorry,’ you should forgive him.”
And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” The Lord replied, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.”

Some people are still writing to me to enter names in the Book of Remembrance. I offer three Masses a week for a whole year for all those written in that book and I pray my rosary and other prayers for them every day. If you wish to have your name or some of your family entered in the book, then write to me and give me the names. You know that to write a name in the Book of Remembrance cost $15.00 and they will be in the book for a full year. Many who are written there have been converted and others healed.

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

“Beware My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters that you will be tempted at times to sin. You can be tempted by the devil, by the allurements of the world and by the flesh. So be aware of this, and as soon as you are aware of a temptation then immediately begin to pray and the temptation will go away. It is absolutely horrible to cause another person to sin especially if it is a young person. So I call you all to be on your guard. If somebody should sin against you and this person repents of what he or she did, then forgive that person. If a person should sins against you seven times a day and each time repents of what he or she did, then you should forgive that person.
It is a good thing for you to pray for an increase of faith. You all need an increase of faith. With great faith you can do wonderful things as I showed my Apostles. I told them that if they have faith the size of a mustard seed, they could say to a mulberry tree, “Be uprooted and planted in the sea, and it would obey them. Faith is a great gift that comes from Me. Ask for it and I will give you an increase of that gift. Pray also for those who do not have faith and they will be blessed with this gift. I bless you all.”

The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 16, 19 – 31:

Jesus said, “There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and find linen and dined sumptuously each day. And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table. Dogs even used to come and lick his sores. When the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried, and from the netherworld, where he was in torment, he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me. Sent Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering torment in these flames.’ Abraham replied, ‘My child, remember that you received what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise received what was bad; but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented. Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is established to prevent anyone from crossing who might wish to go from one side to yours, or from your side to ours.’ He said, ‘Then I beg you, father, send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they too come to this place of torment.’ But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’ He said, ‘Oh no, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ Then Abraham said, ‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead.’

I did not receive yet the money to build the shrine to Our Blessed Mother and the two monasteries for the Contemplative Brothers and Sisters of Jesus. I still have to pay a sum of money and I do not have the money to pay that. It is $2,000 and I hope after all that the money will come soon. If anyone can help me please send the money via Paypal at the website of Our Blessed Mother. The website is: www.ourladyofpei.com Go and donate by following what is written there. I am praying that the money will come in before Friday, March 13. Please send the money this evening or tomorrow.

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

“I call you to take care of the poor My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have come to know Me and you know how much I love the poor. I gave a parable about a rich man and a poor man. The rich man had expensive clothes to wear and dined with plenty of food everyday. However, the poor man, Lazarus, sat at the door of the rich man but he never got any food at all although he was starved. In time both men died. One went to heaven and this one is Lazarus and one went to hell and that one is the rich man. Now Lazarus in heaven enjoyed great happiness but the rich man suffered terribly because of the fire of hell. One day the rich man saw Abraham with Lazarus and he asked that Lazarus would come over to him with a wet finger to cool his tongue. However, this was no possible because there were an immense chasm between the two places. The rich man even asked that Lazarus be sent to earth to his brothers to warn them about the torment that they will suffer if they do not repent of their sins. Abraham told him that it was not possible for Lazarus to return to earth. His brothers have Moses and the prophets so they better listen to them.
My friends, how important it is to love our neighbors and to help the poor. We are all called to see that the poor have clothes to wear and food to eat. Those who do that will be blessed indeed and they will have their sins forgiven and one day they will be in heaven. Come, My dear brothers and sisters, and follow Me. I bless you all.”
