THE  HOLY  SPIRIT  WILL  SET  YOU  FREE

Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
Good afternoon! It was cool this morning but it is warmer now and of
course very sunny. I am back from Bloomfield Parish after two days of
prayers and celebrations with the people there. I had two Masses today
one at St. Anthony's, Bloomfield, and the other at Corpus Christi, a
small church in Glenwood, P.E.I.

I had my usual half hour with Jesus this morning and this is what He
said, "Melvin, I love you. You come every day to spend time with me in
prayer. I give you my peace and joy. The Church is enrolling a new saint
today. He is Josemaria Escriva, a man after my own heart. He began Opus
Dei, a work highly blessed by me. It is a movement by which ordinary
followers of mine are led to holiness. This is my call today: My dear
brothers and sisters, strive for holiness which means conforming your
lives to the will of God. Live as a Christian to a heroic degree. Do not
be conformed to the world with its empty pleasures and vices, but walk
with me in faithfulness and truth. Do everything, even the least, with
much love. The secret of holiness is to develop a strong bond of love
with me and to do everything out of love for me. Do not compromise with
sin but ask for the power of the Holy Spirit to weed sin out of your
life. Habits of sin cannot be overcome by your own power. You are
helpless against these. Only the power of the Spirit in you can break
this diabolical hold on you. He will set you free from your prison. Many
are imprisoned by habits of lying, gossiping, sexual gratification and
perversion, excessive drinking and drugs, addicted to smoking, gambling
and many more. Go to those that can bring the power of the Holy Spirit
upon you, and you will be free. I love you."

Let us rejoice that another one has been proclaimed a saint in Rome. The
Spanish priest, Josemaria Escriva, well known in Europe, was canonized
today. There is great rejoicing in heaven among the angels and saints.
Jesus calls us all to work for holiness by cooperating with the graces
the Lord gives us every day. Let us conform our will to the will of the
Lord. For many this means breaking habits of sin by which we are held as
slaves by the evil one. Jesus tells us that the Holy Spirit can break
these chains that bind us. The Holy Spirit will set us free. Let us
submit ourselves to the Church and ask the Holy Spirit to come with
power upon us to set us free from these habits of sin. It was at
Pentecost that the Apostles were freed of fear. They received His power
and unbolted the doors and went outside to preach to the people
assembled and 3,000 were baptized. Today we are greatly in need of
strong faith, peace, joy and freedom from bondage. The Holy Spirit will
give us all these things if we submit to Him.

May the Lord bless us all with the gifts that we need especially peace,
joy and freedom.
 
Father Melvin
