PRAY
THE ROSARY EVERY DAY
Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
Greetings on this bright sunny day! Yesterday was a nice day with just a
few flurries and plenty of sun. I managed to get to Church last evening
for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist for the first Friday but I
wonder if I'll get there today. My old car (Sprint) is finished. I took
it to the garage yesterday and the mechanic told me that the engine is
finished. After eleven years it could give out on me at any time. So, I
am searching for a new car and some money.
After praying the breviary, especially the Office of Reading and Morning
Prayer, I spent a half hour in contemplative prayer. Jesus spoke to me
saying, "Melvin, my friend, I love you. As it is Our Mother's Day, let
us go and visit her." I happily agreed and Jesus took me to her home in
heaven. She greeted us saying, "Greetings Jesus and Melvin. Do come in
and let us sit here. The Feast of My Immaculate Conception is very near
and many will celebrate it in my honour. I know Jesus will celebrate it
with me. I owe it all to you, Jesus, that I was born without original
sin and preserved from all sin throughout my whole life. Melvin, my
priest son and Jesus' friend, I welcome you to your Mother's home. I
love you and I love all my children. All of you who open your heart to
me on my Feastday, I will bless in a special way. You will receive a
great spiritual gift from me. Consecrate yourself to me as my child on
this Feast of mine and you will be protected by me. I will pray for you
to my Son, Jesus, for all your needs. Pray for the conversion of
sinners. Horrible sins are being committed today in many parts of the
world and the hand of God is raised to strike if people do not repent of
their sins. The chastisement which I spoke about in the past will come
if people do not return to God. Pray the rosary every day that people
will repent and stop sinning. I love you, my children, and I want you
all close to me."
The Feast of the Immaculate Conception is usually celebrated on December
8, but this year because the 8th is on Sunday, the feast will be
celebrated on Monday the 9th. This feast reminds us that Our Blessed
Mother was conceived without original sin for she had already been
chosen before she was born to be the Mother of Jesus, the Son of God.
She received a singular grace in virtue of her Son's sacrifice on the
Cross to be free from original sin. She was preserved from sin her whole
life long. She is the most pure, most holy person ever to live in the
world. Jesus, of course, who is both God and man, was never touched by
sin. Let us celebrate in a fitting manner this great feast of Our Lady.
Our Lady calls us to pray for sinners and to pray the rosary every day.
She tells us again how offended God is by the terrible sins committed
against Him throughout the world. Let us make reparations for these
outrages against Our Lord and Creator.
May the people of the world come to believe in God and in His Son, Jesus
Christ. May they receive, through the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary
and our prayers, the grace to turn away from sin and commit their lives
completely to their Saviour.
