The Trial before Pilate

A reading from the Gospel of Saint John 18, 28 – 40:

Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium. It was morning. And the Jews did not enter the praetorium, in order not to be defiled so that they could eat the Passover. So Pilate came out to them and said, “What charge do you bring against this man?” They answered and said to him, “If he were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you.” At this Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” The Jews answered him, “We do not have the right to execute anyone.” In order that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled that he said indicating the kind of death he would die. So Pilate went back into the praetorium and summoned Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “Do say this on your own or have others told you about me?” Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?” Jesus answered,” My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not here.” So Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listen to my voice.” Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”
When he said this, he again went out to the Jews and said to them, “I find no guilt in him. But you have a custom that I release one prisoner to you at Passover. Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” They cried out again, “Not this one but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.

We had a beautiful Sunday with plenty of sun but it clouded over in the evening and we were supposed to have rain during the night. It will also rain today but then it should be sunny for the rest of the week.

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

“Come follow Me, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters, as I go before Pontus Pilate to be condemned by him. He took Me inside the Praetorium and there he questioned Me. He asked Me if I was a King and I said yes but I told him My Kingdom was not of this world. If it was of this world then My people would be here to defend Me. I told him that I came into this world to teach the people the truth. Those who belong to the truth, listen to My voice. Pilate asked me a question saying, “What is truth?” but he did not wait to listen to My answer. Instead he went out to speak to the Jews. He told them that he had not found any guilt in Me. So he told the Jews that they have a custom to release a prisoner at the Passover feast, so he asked them which one should I release the King of the Jews or Barabbas. The Jews answered that they did not want him to release Jesus but Barabbas. In other words, the Jews wanted that I be killed.
My dear friends, “I knew that I would be killed by the Jews for this was My supreme sacrifice for the atonement of all your sins. It shows you how horrible sin is that it caused My death on the cross. I call you all to refrain from sinning but follow the commandments of God. I bless you all.”

The Inquiry before Annas

A reading from the Gospel of Saint John 18, 19 – 27:

The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his doctrine. Jesus answered him, “I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in a synagogue or in the temple area where all the Jews gather and in secret I have said nothing. Why ask me? Ask those who heard me what I said to them. They know what I said.” When he had said this, one of the temple guards, standing there struck Jesus and said, “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?” Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
Now Simon Peter was standing there keeping warm. And they said to him, “You are not one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.” One of the slaves of the high priest, a relative of the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?” Again Peter denied it. And immediately the cock crowed.

Almost every day people are phoning me to put names in the Book of Remembrance. Anyone can write names in this book and I will celebrate three Holy Masses a week for a full year for those written in the book. It costs only $15.00 to write a person in that book and many in that book have received special graces and some have been converted and now they go to church every Sunday. If you go to Our Lady’s website, www.ourladyofpei.com and click on the word ‘donate’ found in the top part of the page, then the page will come out how to send the money via Paypal. Some people send one name, others send two, ten, twenty or more names and they are all entered in the Book of Remembrance. There are so many people today who are sick, others who do not have faith, or some are not properly married. Put their names in the book and after a time there will be a change.

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

“I bless you My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who have great faith in Me. It was because of your sins that I was arrested and brought to court. I was taken first to the court of Annas, one of the high priest, and he questioned Me about My disciples and My teaching. I told them that I taught the Jews in the synagogues and in the temple area, so they knew what I said. I told Annas to question them and they would tell him. A guard struck Me in the face because of what I said. Then Annas sent Me to Caiaphas who was the high priest that year.
St. Peter was outside near the fire and they ask him if he was one of My disciples. He lied a second time by saying he was not My disciple. A short time afterwards, a slave who was a relative of the one Peter had cut his ear in the Garden of Gethsemane and he too asked him if he was not the one he had seen in the garden. And for the third time he lied by denying that he was the one in the garden. Then to help Peter be aware of what I had said to him, he heard the cock crow and he began to cry.
My dear friends, I call you all never to sin but if you do, repent of what you have done and go to receive the Sacrament of Confession and I will take away your sins. I bless you all.”

Jesus Arrested (2)

A reading from the Gospel of Saint John 18, 12 – 18:

So the band of soldiers, the tribune, and the Jewish guards seized Jesus, bound him, and brought him to Annas first. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. It was Caiaphas who had counseled the Jews that it was better that one man should die rather than the people.
Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. Now the other disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered the courtyard of the high priest with Jesus. But Peter stood at the gate outside. So the other disciple, the acquaintance of he high priest, went out and spoke to the gatekeeper and brought Peter in. Then the maid who was the gatekeeper said to Peter, “You are not one of this man’s disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.” Now the slaves and the guards were standing around a charcoal fire that they had made, because it was cold, and were warming themselves. Peter was also standing there keeping warm.

I went to the city of Summerside yesterday morning. It is about one hour’s drive from my house. I love to go to this city where they have a very big Catholic Church and the name of the Church is Saint Paul. I have celebrated Holy Mass in that church many times. Today I will have to go to the Province of New Brunswick.

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

“My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters, it is now time as we read the Gospel of Saint John for My arrest at the hands of the soldiers and guards of the high priest and the Pharisees. So they grabbed Me and brought Me to the place where Annas, the father-in-law of the high priest, was. Two Apostles followed Me, they were Peter and John. John was known by the high priest so he was able to go in without trouble but Peter stayed outside. It was John who went out and spoke to the gatekeeper and Peter was let in. When the woman saw Peter she asked him if he was one of My disciples and Peter answered no. This was Peter’s first denial. You know I had told him while we were in the Upper Room that he would deny Me three times during the night.
My dear friends, I was questioned by the high priest and others and I was not afraid to answer them the truth. My dear brothers and sisters, I want you to always say the truth. In this way you will do exactly what I did. I never told a lie. I bless you all.”
