PRAY  FOR  UNITY

Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
Greetings on this cloudy day! We had a very nice day yesterday with
plenty of sun and the temperature was just right. I went to visit my
mother last night at the manor and she was in good form. She is still
passing blood and we don't know the cause of this yet. Please pray that
it will soon stop otherwise she will soon be back in the hospital.

In my prayer this morning, Jesus spoke to me saying, "Melvin, I love
you. I am Jesus, the one who suffered and died on the cross but rose
from the dead never to die again. I am the head of the Church, which I
founded on Peter. This Church will last forever. My people, I founded
only one Church and where Peter is, there is my Church. Why are there so
many divisions today and so many churches? The evil one wants to tear
down what I instituted. There are too many false teachings in the world
today and the Christian family is split up into many factions. The sin
of pride is behind this. As I obeyed the Father in all things, come and
obey me, your Saviour and leader, sent to you by My Father. Submit
yourself to me and listen to what I am saying. I prayed for unity among
my followers during the Last Supper and today I urge you all to seek
this grace of unity. Without Christian unity your teaching and your
witnessing will remain flawed. Come and submit yourselves to me and my
church wholeheartedly, so that the Church can be one and all may belong
to this one Church of mine. The present situation is a scandal and a
slap in my face. Pray for unity daily and come follow my teaching. I
bless you."

Jesus speaks today about the need for Christian unity. One has only to
glance around and see the divisions among Christians. There are so many
churches today and new ones are springing up all the time. This, Jesus
tells us, is against His will. He wants only one Church for He founded
only one on Peter. Jesus prayed that we all be one but we have not taken
this prayer into consideration. Instead of unity we are more divided
than ever. He calls us to pray for unity. It will come if we are humble
and follow Him better.

I celebrated the Holy Eucharist at Alberton Parish twice last evening
and today I will be at St. Mark's Church at Burton at 9:00 AM and at
Alberton again at 11:00 AM. I will be there again next week as the
parish priest is on holidays for two weeks.

May the Lord's prayer for Christian Unity become a reality in our world.
