PRAY FOR THE SHRINE
Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
May the blessing of the Lord come upon you today, the day we honour Our
Blessed Mother. It rained a lot during the night and this morning it is
very foggy and dark. I had the funeral liturgy for Ian Arsenault
yesterday afternoon in Alberton and the burial took place in Tignish in
the rain. Today I'll be back in Tignish for the celebration of the Holy
Eucharist at 7:00 PM. I have all the Masses at Tignish Parish this
weekend as the Parish Priest is away. I might be late in sending you the
message tomorrow morning as I have to be in Tignish for 8:45 AM.
I began my prayer this morning with Jesus who spoke saying, "Melvin, my
brother, I love you. This is the day dedicated to Our Mother. Let us go
and visit her." I gladly said "yes" and Jesus took me to her home. Our
Lady greeted us saying, "Welcome Jesus and Melvin. Do come in and let us
sit here. My soul glorifies the Lord at being with you, my Son, Jesus.
What joy your presence brings me! Melvin, my priest son, I embrace you
for I love you with all my heart. As you know, I have come to earth many
times for I am your mother who loves you all. I want every person to
turn away from sin and to believe and follow Jesus, their Saviour. You
are all my children and I do not want any of you to be lost. This is why
I came to visit you, Melvin, and asked for a shrine in my honour. My
children, if you ask for my help, I will intercede before my Son, and He
will give you the help you need. I am your mother who cares for you. My
role is to point to Jesus, My Son, who suffered and died to redeem you.
You will never find peace in your heart if you are not His friends. Love
the Church He established among you and go and pray often. Pray in your
homes and when you do, Jesus and I will be there with you. Do not forget
to pray the rosary every day and offer it for the shrine so much wanted
by many of you. I bless you all."
Our Lady used the first words of the Magnificat when she greeted Jesus
this morning. This is her beautiful hymn to God she sang at her visit to
her cousin Elizabeth. (See Luke 1: 56 - 55.) Today Our Blessed Mother
speaks about her special role. She is very conscious of the fact that
Jesus before He died on the cross made her the Mother of us all. She
loves us all with a motherly heart and she is always ready to come to
earth with her special message. Her role as she says is to make her Son
known and to call us all to follow Him. She wants us to have a deep love
relationship with Him who is Our Redeemer, Our God and Our Brother. She
calls us too to prayer, to go to Church regularly and to pray the
rosary. She asks us to offer the rosary for her intention to have a
shrine built in Prince Edward Island.
Let us be led by Our Blessed Mother to Jesus who wants to be our special
friend.
