Herod’s Desire to Kill Jesus

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 13, 31 – 35:

At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said, “Go away, leave this area because Herod wants to kill you.” Jesus replied, “Go and tell that fox: ‘Behold, I cast out demons and I perform healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I accomplish my purpose. Yet I must continue on my way today, tomorrow, and the following day, for it is impossible that a prophet should die outside of Jerusalem.’
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how many times I yearn to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were unwilling. Behold your house will be abandoned. But I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'”

Again I wish to thank all those who sent me money for my needs. There is one man who sent me an e-mail saying that he wants to pay my healing oil. I pray that this money is now on its way. My tank is just about empty. I have never been so short of money as at this time. I hope I will have some so I can have food on my table and heat in my house. May the Lord bless you all especially those who sent me some money.

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

“I love you My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters who have a close relationship with My Son Jesus and with Me. You know that King Herod was planning to kill Jesus, My Son. One day the Pharaisees had come to Him and told Him to leave the area because Herod wants to kill Him. My Son did not leave immediately. He was casting out demons and healing people for two days and He still had another day to accomplish all that He had to do. He told the Pharisees that a prophet cannot die outside of Jerusalem. Jesus, My Son, was crying over Jerusalem because of all the killings that had been done there by the leaders of the Jews and also by the Roman leaders. He would have loved to bring all the people of Jerusalem into the Kingdom of God but it was not possible because of these bad people. He knew that one day He would die in Jerusalem by being crucified on the cross but in three days He would rise again. He is your Lord and Savior and listen to Him and do what He tells you. I love you all.”

The Narrow Gate

The Narrow Gate

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 13, 22 – 30:

Jesus passed through towns and villages, teaching as he went and making his way to Jerusalem. Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” He answered him, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough. After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door, then will you stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ He will say to you in reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ And you will say, ‘We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our streets.’ Then he will say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers!’ And there will be wailing and grinding of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves cast out. And people will come from the east and the west and from the north and the south and will recline at table in the kingdom of God. For behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”

On Wednesday we had another snowstorm and snow fell almost the whole day. However, today it was sunny the whole day and not too cold. The plows have been out to clear the roads, clear driveways and around the houses. Once more we are free to go out without trouble. It looks as if we will have four beautiful sunny days including today.

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

“Come to heaven My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters and enter by the narrow gate. Many are trying to enter heaven by the wide gate and they are not able to do so. By the wide gate I mean those people who do not follow Me. They live in the world and forget all about heaven and the home of God. If you follow that way, I can tell you that you will not be able to enter. By the narrow gate I mean those people who follow Me and live a holy life. They are not taken in by the attraction of the world such as plenty of food, alcohol, giving in to bodily attraction, being full of pride and wanting only to follow their own will. However, those who follow Me love to pray, to read the Bible, to take part at Holy Mass often, to pray the rosary every day, to forgive all those who have hurt them, to pray for the sick, the poor and those who have no faith. In doing so I will definitely give these people what they need. Come My friends and follow the narrow way and one day you will be in heaven with Me. I bless you all.”

Cure of a Crippled Woman on the Sabbath

Cure of a Crippled Woman on the Sabbath

A reading from the Gospel of Saint Luke 13, 10 – 17:

Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the sabbath. And a woman was there who for eighteen years had been crippled by a spirit; she was bent over completely incapable of standing erect. When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, “Woman, you are set free of your infirmity.” He laid his hands on her, and she at once stood up straight and glorified God. But the leader of the synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured on the sabbath, said to the crowd in reply, “There are six days when work should be done. Come on those days to be cured, not on the sabbath day.” The Lord said to him in reply, “Hypocrites! Does not each one of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his ass from the manger and lead it out for watering? This daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years now, ought she not to have been set free on the sabbath day from this bondage?” When he said this, all his adversaries were humiliated, and the whole crowd rejoiced at all the splendid deeds done by him.

Again I thank all those who have sent me money to pay my debts. I still need $420 to buy heating oil for my house. My tank is going empty. I still have other debts to pay. May the Lord bless you all especially those who sent me money today. Today we are having another snowstorm and the snow is blowing everywhere.

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

“Have pity on the sick My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have great faith in Me that I can heal the sick. I healed the woman who had been crippled for eighteen years and it was in the synagogue on the sabbath day. Some of the Jewish leaders objected that I cured her on the holy day because they say that no one is supposed to work on that day. I told them that they do some work on the sabbath day like untying their ox or ass and bring them to the water to drink. It is especially worthwhile to heal the sick on the sabbath. On that day one can do good and help his friend and neighbor. There is nothing wrong with that. You are not allowed to farm and sow grain, potatoes or vegetables. That you can do during the other six days of the week. My brother Melvin here prayed on the sick on any day of the week even Sunday and many of these people were healed. You also have to help anyone who falls sick or collapses and you have to take that person to hospital even if this happens on Sunday.
I love you all and I bless you.”
