INVITE  THE  HOLY  SPIRIT  INTO YOUR  HEART
        
Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
Good morning! The sun was shining a short time ago but it is cloudy
again. It is still mild and we had plenty of rain overnight. I went to
the Manor yesterday afternoon and I celebrated the Holy Eucharist with a
good group of residents including my mother. She was tired sitting in
her wheelchair. She has not started to walk yet.
Thank you all for your prayers for her and for Wayne and Michelle.
Michelle is in Halifax today to see her doctor. Let us pray that he
finds some improvement.

In my contemplative prayer this morning, I was with Jesus who spoke to
me saying, "Melvin, my intimate friend, I love you. You bring joy to my
heart when you come to me in prayer every day. When I was on earth I,
too, prayed to my Father every day and at times I spent the whole night
in prayer with Him. All should come and be alone with me in prayer and
they would find peace. The evil one, though, will try all he can to stop
you from coming to me. He will tell you that you do not have the time;
you are too tired or that you have some work to do. All I wish to say is
this: finding time for prayer is important. Without a fixed time to come
and spend time with me, your relationship with me will become cold and
you will become a Christian in name only. An effort is needed every day
to grow in our friendship and to cooperate with the graces I give you.
The New Pentecost is beginning as the Father spoke yesterday. The strong
wind of the Holy Spirit is filling the hearts of many. Open your hearts,
my brothers and sisters, to the Holy Spirit. Begin to praise and adore
the Father, for I tell you that God lives on the praises of His people.
The Spirit will bring you joy and a heart full of love. Step out in
faith and invite the Holy Spirit into your heart. He will change your
life. Our friendship will become stronger and you will live always in my
presence. I bless you."

Jesus confirms the words of the Father that the New Pentecost is
beginning. This is an exciting time for the Holy Spirit is renewing the
world. Let us take advantage of the Sacrament of Penance or
Reconciliation during this season that we may be absolved of all our
sins and then let us open our hearts to the coming of the Holy Spirit.
He will fill our hearts with joy and we will love to praise God. All
believers will go to Church regularly and love to receive the Lord in
Holy Communion often.

Let us read the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 2, and find out what
happened on that First Pentecost in Jerusalem.

May you be filled with the Holy Spirit and build a strong friendship
with Jesus.
 
Father Melvin
