Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
Good morning! The sun
is shining bright as it rises in the early
morning. There is still smoke
around from the fires in Quebec and it
causes the sun to be fiery red. I was
in Alberton Parish yesterday
morning for the celebration of the Holy
Eucharist. Today I'll be going
to Charlottetown to collect books that have
just been printed and I will
make stops in Summerside and Tyne Valley. I'll
only be home late this
afternoon.
In my early morning prayer, Jesus
took me up the mountain. This is what
He said: "Melvin, my brother, I love
you. This morning I bring you way
up the mountain. See the beautiful spot
here where we can rest and
admire the splendid scene. You can see for miles
on this bright day. See
the small lakes and the islets in the distance. Feel
the peace and the
stillness of this place. Look at the various colours of
this perfect
picture. All this was made by My Father for you and all the
people to
admire. See the Father's great love in creating such beauty for
you. If
nature can be so wonderful to the eye, what greater beauty is a
human
being in the eyes of God. The human person was made in the image
and
likeness of God endowed with intelligence and free will. The
human
spirit is like God for it too will never die. Each person has more
worth
than the whole world and everything in it. Your true place is with
God
for you are all my brothers and sisters. Do not soil your dignity by
sin
or deface it by pride. Live as partners with me clothed with love
and
devotion. You will be my masterpiece if I live in you and you live
in
me. Follow me, your Saviour. I bless you all."
What beauty the Lord
showed me this morning! I could have stayed there
all day.
Jesus
showed me creation in all its splendour. Yet each person is much
greater in
the eyes of God than all of the earth. In fact the earth and
all that is in
it was made for us to use in an intelligent way. On earth
we are the summit
of creation. We are the only ones who can know God and
His Son, Jesus Christ,
and praise and honour Him. We have also an
exalted destiny: to be happy with
God forever in heaven. Let us begin
then to live here on earth as we would in
heaven. Jesus has already
showed us the way. Let us follow Him.
May
the Lord brighten our day with the gift of His love and peace.
Father Melvin
