I  WANT  TO  BE  BORN  IN  YOUR  HEART

Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
Greetings on this mild and cloudy day! What a cold day we had yesterday!
I was at St. Mark's in Burton, P.E.I. for the sacrament of confession
last evening. There was a good turnout in this freezing weather. Tonight
I will be in the nearby parish of Tignish.

This morning Jesus shared a bit of His early life as He spoke to me.
Here are His words, "Melvin, my intimate friend, I love you. I grew up
in Nazareth in the Northern Province of Galilee. You spent nearly a week
in this town in the past. You saw where I lived with my mother and
foster father. You visited the Synagogue where I prayed on the Sabbath.
You walked those same streets I walked long ago. The people of Nazareth
knew me as the son of Joseph and Mary. They did not know that I was
their Saviour, the Messiah. When I told them they would laugh at me and
once they tried to kill me. However, my Mother knew from what the Angel
Gabriel had said. He told her that I was the Son of God and the Redeemer
of the world. Joseph was told too. My dear brothers and sisters, you are
all called to believe with your whole heart that I am the Messiah and
that I have come for you to bring you from the clutches of Satan to the
light of my Kingdom. My birth in Bethlehem changed the world for all
time. The feast of Christmas shows this. Now I need your help every one
of you who believe and accept me as their Redeemer. You have to spread
my message to all people that I am the one whose birthday is celebrated
at Christmas. Christians are not celebrating Santa Claus and his
reindeers but the birth of their Saviour. How many of you are going to
wish me a Happy Birthday at Christmas? I want to be born in the hearts
of you all this Christmas. I love you all."

This morning Jesus shared with me a little of His life on earth in
Nazareth. This town is built on the side of a hill with the Holy House
of Nazareth at the bottom of the hill where the beautiful Church of the
Annunciation stands today. I love this town and its narrow streets. I
had the privilege to celebrate Holy Mass in the home of Jesus, Mary and
Joseph. There is only the foundation and a bit of the wall left. The
beautiful Church was built over it. I prayed at the Synagogue of the
town and I was very conscious of the fact that Jesus prayed there. I
also went to the place where the women used to go to fetch water. I
drank some of that sparkling water.

Jesus calls us today to put Him back in Christmas. If it is His
birthday, then we should have a birthday cake with the words: "HAPPY
BIRTHDAY JESUS. As the cake is brought in all could sing the song, Happy
Birthday. I am sure Jesus would be very pleased. He wants to be born in
our hearts this Christmas. Let us go and receive the sacrament of
confession or reconciliation to prepare a fitting place for Him.

May the Lord help us to prepare His Feast and may He be born in our
hearts.
 
Father Melvin
