YOU ARE CELEBRATING MY ENTRY INTO GLORY

Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,

Good morning as I see the sun come up shining in all its glory! It sure looks like another beautiful day for the Feast of the Ascension. I was in Alberton Parish last evening. I celebrated the Holy Eucharist at St. Bernadette's, a small church attached to Alberton Parish at 4:30 PM and I was at Sacred Heart Church, Alberton, at 7:00 PM. This morning I will celebrate the Holy Eucharist at 9:00 at Saint Mark's Church, another church of Alberton Parish, and at 11:00 I will be back at Sacred Heart Church for the last Mass. I've been selling my book, "My Thirty Day Retreat" at the end of each Mass. 

I was with Jesus in my period of contemplative prayer this morning. He spoke to me saying: "Melvin, I am Jesus who ascended into heaven; I love you. Today you and many Christians throughout the world are celebrating my Ascension into heaven. I appeared to the Apostles for 40 days after my Resurrection to strengthen their faith after it had been shattered at my crucifixion and death. They had to come to believe that I was risen from the dead and I still had some teachings to give them. I had to leave the Apostles and return to heaven, so they could receive the Holy Spirit and give birth to the Church. They had to take charge of the Church and spread my teachings throughout the world. I still remain head of the Church although you cannot see me. I told the Apostles and I am telling you today, that I will be with you until the end of the world. Although you cannot see me I am present for you in the Eucharist, in my Word, and I am in your heart if you are free from sin. I am very closely involve with each one of you and I give you my grace through the mediation of Our Blessed Mother so that you may grow closer to me. I have returned to the Father and I sit at HIs right hand. Being divine, I am present everywhere and never far from you. I bless you all as you are celebrating my entry into glory. I love you all."

The day that Jesus left the Apostles to return to His Father, must have been a sad day for them. As they made their way back to Jerusalem to the upper room to await the coming of the Holy Spirit, their minds must have been filled with many memories of the Lord. They had witnessed so many things in the three years they had been with Jesus. The most dramatic though was surely His condemnation, His crucifixion and death, and His Resurrection from the dead. They had seen Him for 40 days after He came back from death and now their faith was strong. Fear though was still in their hearts as they bolted the door of the upper room and began their first retreat and novena. Our Lady was with them as they awaited the coming of the promised Holy Spirit. A new era is about to be born. Jesus' bodily form disappears from view but He remains with the Apostles as He remains with us today. He lives in His Church especially through the sacraments and in the Holy Eucharist above all. We receive Him in our hearts every time we receive the Holy Eucharist. He is there truly present in the host as the Risen One and He comes and lives in our heart. Let us thank Him for being Our Saviour. May the Ascension of the Lord fill us with hope that one day we too will enter heaven as He did. I wish all the mothers a Happy Mother's Day.
