I  AM  THE  RESURRECTION  AND  THE  LIFE  

Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
Good morning on this sunny day! The sun is shining now but it is
supposed to cloud over and rain is expected this evening. I was at the
Knight of Columbus meeting last evening at Alberton. A good group
turned up.

In my morning prayer, I was with Jesus who spoke to me saying, "Melvin,
my close friend, I love you. I bring you today to Bethany, a few miles
from Jerusalem. I bring you to the empty tomb of Lazarus, which you
visited when you were in Israel. You see that the tomb is empty. Lazarus
had died and he was buried. After four days I came to Bethany with the
Apostles. Mary and Martha, his sisters, were still in mourning. Lazarus
had been my great friend and he together with his sisters would welcome
me to their home. It was Martha who came to greet me as I arrived in the
village. She expressed her great faith in me knowing that if I had been
there, her brother would not have died. She truly believed that I was
the Messiah. I asked to be taken to the tomb and there I called out to
him, "Lazarus come out." He immediately came back to life and came
outside. In this miracle I showed that I am the Way, the Truth and the
Life. My brothers and sisters, I love you all as I love Lazarus and his
sisters, Mary and Martha. I am ready to help you too in any difficulty.
Believe in me and make me your friend. I will raise you from the valley
of darkness and bring you into my marvelous light. I will give you my
life and your joy will be full. I am the resurrection and the life. I
love you."

I visited Bethany twice when I was in Israel. I visited Lazarus' tomb
which is the size of a small room hewn out of the side of a hill. The
account of the raising of Lazarus is told in John 11: 1 - 44. It is an
amazing miracle for Jesus to raise him after he was  buried for four
days. No wonder many people believed in Him. Jesus calls us today to
accept Him and believe in Him with all our heart. He is the Messiah, the
Saviour. We need to call upon Him to bring the world out of darkness and
out of the power of the evil one. Let us come into the light, the light
that came down to us from heaven. He wants us all to be His friends.

The Pope published this morning a letter on the Blessed Virgin Mary and
on the Rosary. It is his 24th anniversary as Pope. Let us pray for him
that the Lord will continue to bless him and give us many more years
with us.

May the Lord give us His peace and love.
 
Father Melvin
