I  AM  WITH  YOU  ALWAYS

Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
Greetings on this perfect day! The sun is shining in a cloudless sky and
there is a gentle wind to keep us cool. The days of summer are coming to
an end for on Sunday the new season will begin. My visitors left just a
few minutes ago to return to New Brunswick after spending two days here
in their trailer. We went to the prayer meeting last evening and they
were pleasantly impressed with the prayer meeting. I celebrated the Holy
Eucharist for the group last evening. There were more than 50 people
present.

In my prayer this morning, Jesus spoke to me saying, "Melvin, I live in
your heart. I love you. Love is the greatest good that you can receive.
I am love and I love you and all my brothers and sisters. My heart is on
fire for each one of you. Have I not shown you the depth of my heart
when I suffered and died for each one of you on the Cross? I want you
all close to me. I asked Peter three times, 'Do you love me?' Today I
put the question to each of you, Do you truly love me? Are you ready to
endure even suffering for love of me? Are you willing to admit publicly
that you love me even if people make fun of you? I admitted that I was
your Saviour even before the ones who condemned me. I am saving you but
you have to acknowledge me before the people and show that you truly
love me. Let yourself be counted as my friends. Visit me often and come
and converse with me. I call you today and everyday to make acts of
faith, hope and love. I give all my friends my peace and joy, gifts
which I alone can give you. Seek, my brothers and sisters, union with me
and let me guide your steps. I will never abandon you for I am with you
always to the end of the age. We were made for each other. I bless you,
my beloved."

In the message this morning, Jesus expresses the depth of His love for
us. We know that God is love; that is what St. John tells us in his
Gospel. We all have seen pictures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus with fire
coming from His heart. This fire expresses the intense love He has for
each one of us. He wants only our good and the greatest good that we can
receive is everlasting life with Him in heaven. Let us live today as if
we were about to enter heaven. Jesus asks us three questions today. They
are similar to the question He asked St. Peter after he had denied His
Lord three times. Jesus' questions go to the depth of our love for Him.
Are we ready to suffer for Him? Are we ready to publicly acknowledge Him
before those who do not believe Him? We should not be afraid to be
laughed at or made fun of for the sake of Jesus. Jesus is always with
us. He lives in our hearts and He promised to stay with us forever. Let
us make acts of faith, hope and love often to show our attachment to
Him.  

May our love of the Lord grow every day.

Father Melvin
