I  THIRST  FOR  YOU

Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
Good morning on this Day of the Lord. It is foggy again early in the
morning but it will soon go away. We had a warm sunny afternoon
yesterday for the wedding. There are plenty of activities today with the
Maritime Charismatic Conference in its last day at Sackville, N.B., the
parish picnic at Bloomfield parish and the Exhibition at Alberton. I
will celebrate Holy Mass at Miminegash this morning at 9:00 and at
Palmer Road at 11:00.

I was with Jesus in my 30-minute prayer this morning. He spoke to me
saying, "Melvin, I am the Risen One; I love you. Today is the Day of the
Lord, the day Christians go to church to pray and receive me in the Holy
Eucharist. Through the hands of the priest, I change the bread and wine
into my body and blood. I am present as the Resurrected One, truly alive
in my humanity and divinity, in the host. I instituted the Eucharist on
Holy Thursday in the presence of my Apostles and I made them all sharers
in my priesthood. You need faith to believe that I am truly present in
the Eucharist. Begin by accepting my words in the Bible as true. The
Apostle John wrote the truth about the Eucharist for these words are my
teaching on the subject. In order to help the Christians have a greater
faith in this sacrament, arrange to have adoration in your churches. I
am very pleased with the many parishes where they have perpetual
adoration. I will bless in a special way the Christians of every parish
where they have adoration 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Come often,
my people, to receive me in the Eucharist and prepare a place for me in
your heart. I thirst for you. I bless you all."

Do we appreciate enough the great gift of the Holy Eucharist? Jesus
speaks to us today of the wonderful gift of Himself to us in the Holy
Eucharist. As the Bible teaches us Jesus is truly present under the
species of bread and wine. He is present there as the Resurrected Lord.
He was the one who instituted this sacrament and three of the
Evangelists have an account of it. We can find the text in Matthew 26,
26 - 30, Mark 14, 22 - 26 and in Luke 22, 14 - 20. The teachings of
Jesus on the Holy Eucharist is given in John 6, 22 - 71. St. Paul also
wrote about the Eucharist in his letters. Today's Gospel on the
multiplication of the loaves and fishes also points to the Eucharist.
Jesus wants to live in our hearts and He wants us to prepare ourselves
to receive Him. He thirsts for us for He wants to be closely united to
us.

May the Lord help us to increase our faith in the Holy Eucharist and may
we come often to receive Him in this wonderful sacrament.
