BE  UNITED  WITH  ME

Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
Good morning on this partly cloudy day! The sun was shining early this
morning and the warmer weather is on its way. We did not get all the
snow the forecaster had predicted. In fact we received only a little
freezing rain which left the roads slippery last evening. This morning
they are all cleared. I was at the seminar in the Life of the Spirit
last evening. Fewer people were present because of the windy and cold
weather. I celebrated Holy Mass at Michelle Thibodeau's home yesterday
afternoon. Her condition was better yesterday and she was happy to
receive the Lord in Holy Communion.

I spent a half hour with Jesus this morning in prayer. He spoke saying,
"Melvin, my brother, come near to me as I struggle to reach the summit
of Calvary. I am very tired for I have carried this heavy cross through
the streets of Jerusalem. I fell three times out of exhaustion but I got
up and continued and now I have reached the place. I am being killed
because of your sins. Look at me, I am covered in blood because of the
scourging and the crown of thorns. My whole body aches and I cannot walk
another step. My dear friends, I am dying for each one of you today.
Because of your sins you should be on the cross but I am taking your
place. I am your Saviour who agrees to die for you to wipe away your
sins and make you all my dear brothers and sisters. Will you look my way
and leave your sins and rebellion at the foot of the cross? I will wash
them away with my blood today. Accept me as your redeemer and begin a
new life with me. Do not join the soldiers to inflict more punishment
on me but come and repent of your sins and be my companion. In this way
you will receive power to conform your life to mine and grace to avoid
evil and do good. Pray today and be united with me as I suffer and die
for you. I bless you all."

Jesus continues His way of the cross. It is Friday and this is the day
He spends His Passion with me. I stood there at Calvary many times when
I was in Jerusalem and recalled Jesus' great sacrifice for each one of
us. I knelt in adoration of Our Saviour who gave His life for love of
us. He wiped away our sins and opened heaven for us. He calls us to Him
today to see what our sins have done to Him. Let us repent of them all
and He will take them all away.

I will spend the day preparing for next weekend at Tignish. I ask Jesus
to help me as I prepare the talks for these three days.

May we visualize Jesus dying for us today. Let us spend some time with
Him in prayer and keep Him company as He suffers for you and me.
