JOIN  US  THROUGH  YOUR  PRAYERS  AND  SACRIFICES

Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
Greetings and best wishes as we are now very near Christmas. Tomorrow
night we will celebrate the great feast of the birth of Jesus. It looks
like a green Christmas around here so far.

I was with Jesus in contemplative prayer this morning. He spoke saying,
"Melvin, you are near to my heart, I love you. The celebration of my
birth is very near. Picture in your mind My Mother Mary and Joseph, my
foster father, as they make their way to Bethlehem from Nazareth. They
traveled for some days with My Mother sitting on a donkey and Joseph
leading it. I had to be born in Bethlehem, the city of David, as the
prophets had foretold. Their progress was slow and tiring. Spend time
contemplating this famous journey. Melvin, it was also during your
preparation for Christmas that Our Mother asked you to build a prayer
room attached to your little house. As you wait for the permission to
build the shrine to Our Lady of Prince Edward Island, you will have this
prayer room where people will come to pray and receive the help they
need. I will dwell there with My Mother and miracles of grace will take
place in that room. I will bless all those who will come to visit and
pray. My dear brothers and sisters, this is a small beginning in Palmer
Road but it will grow. It is the initiative of Our Dear Mother who loves
every one of her children and does not want any to be lost. I support
her for we work together for the good of all. Join us through your
prayers and sacrifices that the shrine to Our Lady of Prince Edward
Island may soon become a reality. I bless you all."

As Jesus was speaking of the journey of Our Lady and St. Joseph to
Bethlehem, I could visualize the fields and the hills along the way from
Nazareth to Bethlehem. I could see the sheep grazing on the hills with
their shepherds with them. They would find a place for the night in some
home or cave on the way and they would continue early in the morning
their slow journey. After days on the road how tired they would be.
At the end Jesus speaks about the prayer room where He and His Mother
will be present in a special way. He calls us to join with them by
prayer and sacrifice that the shrine will be built soon. It is the great
desire of Our Mother to have this home among us.

May the Lord shower His blessings on us all this Christmas.
 
Father Melvin
