I  LOVE  YOU

Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
Good afternoon on this beautiful day the Lord has given us. I came back
a short time ago from St. Anthony's Parish in Bloomfield. Many people
came to Holy Mass today both at Bloomfield and at the Immaculate
Conception Church, the Brae, which is part of St. Anthony's Parish
today.

I spent a half hour with Jesus this morning in prayer. He spoke to me
saying, "Melvin, I am Jesus your friend, I love you. It was on Sunday
that I rose from the dead. I showed myself to the Apostles and seeing
the marks of the crucifixion, they believed that I was risen. I appeared
to them for 40 days in order to instruct them further and make them
ready to begin the Church. I gave them the command: Go and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I
have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of
the age. This command I also give to you. As members of the Church you
are to teach the people what I have taught you. Those who believe are to
be brought to the priest that they may become members of my Kingdom. I
have given all that is needed for salvation to my Church. I am with my
Church always until the end of time. The Apostles saw the wounds in my
hands, feet and side and they believed. They are my witnesses to you all
and their account is written in the Bible. Come and believe with them
that I am risen and am your Saviour. Let us build up a strong
relationship between us. I love you."

Jesus gives us the missionary mandate written in Matthew 28: 19 - 20. He
has all power and He can therefore send us to work for Him. He wants us
to work together with the Church founded on the Apostles. Jesus chose
the Apostles to be the foundation for the Church in the world. Their
faith was strong and they had received their mandate from Jesus Himself.
Peter as we know was the head of the Apostles as Jesus teaches us in
Matthew 16: 13 - 20. These words here are significant: "I say to you,
you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates
of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the
keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound
in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
These are words spoken by Jesus Himself.

Let us believe with all our heart that Jesus is risen from the dead and
reigns as Lord over the whole world. He is truly our Saviour. Let us
have a strong bond of friendship with Him. He wants to live permanently
in our hearts.

Let us praise and worship Jesus as Our Lord and Saviour and go to Church
every Sunday.
 
Father Melvin
