LET  US  ADORE  JESUS

Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
Good morning on this sunny Saturday! We have another beautiful day as I
begin my stay at St. Anthony's Parish in Bloomfield, P.E.I. I will stay
there especially on the weekends but I should be back at my little house
during the weekdays. I will not send tomorrow's message before the
afternoon.

During my half hour in contemplative prayer this morning, I was with
Jesus and Our Blessed Mother. Jesus began by saying, "Melvin, I redeemed
you on the Cross because I love you. Today is the Feast of the
Exaltation of the Cross, my cross. As it is Our Mother's day, let us go
and visit her." Jesus took me with Him to Our Heavenly Mother's home.
She greeted us at the door saying, "Welcome and greetings to you, Jesus
and Melvin. Do come in and let us sit here around this table. Jesus, my
Son, today we venerate your holy cross on which you redeemed the world.
We thank you for offering yourself to the Father for our salvation.
Melvin, my priest son and Jesus' friend, I am your Mother who loves you.
What great sorrow filled my heart as I stood there at the foot of the
cross when Jesus was hanging on it in terrible pain for the salvation of
all! I associated myself with Him in His suffering. Indeed a sword
pierced my heart as I stood there seeing Him bleeding from His many
wounds from the nails and the scourging. It was there at the cross
before He died that He announced that I was the mother of you all.
Remember His words addressed to St. John and to all of us, 'Behold your
mother.' The cross on which Jesus died became the tree of life for us
all. Because of His love for us, He did not spare Himself but gave up
His life to save us all. Let us adore Him and thank Him for His
redeeming sacrifice. I bless you all."

Our Blessed Mother is closely associated with Jesus in His suffering and
death on the cross. She met Him on the way of the Cross and what mutual
love must have been expressed when their eyes met. She loved Her Son so
dearly and yet she had to witness His pain as He fell three times on the
way to Calvary. She saw them nail Him to the cross and she stood near
the cross in His agony till He died. She must have received great graces
in order to be able to suffer with Him without dying from the pain. She
says this morning that a sword pierced her heart at the cross. It had
been predicted by Simeon at the presentation in the temple. Jesus gave
us a wonderful gift by making the Blessed Virgin Mary, our mother. She
is the most wonderful mother we could have. The love she has for her
Son, is the measure of the love she has for each one of us. We can go to
her at any time and ask for her intercession. She will always listen to
our request. Our dear mother has made a request to us: she wants a
shrine here in Prince Edward Island. It is my fervent desire that we can
begin soon.

I ask you all again to pray for Wayne Boudreau from Nova Scotia. He is
in much pain these days. Please pray through the intercession of Our
Lady of Prince Edward Island that the Lord may cure him of this
sickness. Thank you also for the prayers for my mother. She needs a
blood transfusion which she will receive soon.

May we adore the Lord who gave His life for us and rose again to live
forever. May Our Heavenly Mother intercede for us and bless us.
 
Father Melvin
