LIVE  IN  THE  POWER  OF  THE  HOLY  SPIRIT

Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
Good morning on this day made holy by the Lord! It rained a lot during
the night but now it is raining only a little. I celebrated the Holy
Eucharist at the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road, last
evening. I don't have to go to Bloomfield Church this weekend as the
Parish Priest is back. I also went to visit Michelle Thibodeau last
evening. She is still the same. She coughs a lot, she is attached to an
oxygen tank and her left eye bothers her. Her husband and I prayed with
her and she was anointed in a special way. She felt great heat and a
wind was blowing while we were praying with her. There was no reason for
this wind as all the windows and doors were closed but both Wade and I
felt it. I also talked to Wayne from Nova Scotia last night. He had a
very rough day yesterday with much pain. Please continue your prayers
for them.

In my half hour with Jesus this morning, He spoke to me saying, "Melvin,
my friend, I love you. It was on Pentecost Sunday that the Spirit came
on my Mother, the Apostles and all those gathered in the upper room in
Jerusalem. They had been praying for nine days after my Ascension into
heaven. It was on the tenth day that the Holy Spirit came upon them.
Fire in the form of tongues appeared on each person's head and they were
all filled with the Spirit. A strong wind was also heard. All present
began to praise God in various languages they had never learned. The
great fear they had left them. Many people gathered outside because of
the noise. So, the Apostles unbolted the door and Peter went out and
addressed the crowd. As a result, thousands of people were baptized that
day and the Church was born. The Father and I sent the Spirit upon these
people gathered that Pentecost morning. My dear friends, the Holy Spirit
is the Third Person in the Trinity. It is necessary that you receive Him
in order to live as a Christian. You received Him in baptism and
confirmation but you can receive Him many times in your life. He brings
you power to follow me, different spiritual gifts and enlightenment
concerning the things of God. He always comes with His healing power to
bring wholeness to your body and spirit. He helps you to pray and to
perform good deeds. He is the Spirit of love and holiness. Live everyday
in the power of the Holy Spirit. If you ask me, I will anoint you daily
with the Spirit. Pray that the New Pentecost will soon begin in the
world. I bless you all."


The account of Pentecost is told in the Acts of the Apostles, chapter
two. This event was very important for the Apostles and for the birth of
the Church brought to us by Jesus. It was only in the power of the Holy
Spirit that the Apostles were able to shed their fear of the Jews and to
begin their work given to them by Jesus. So, Pentecost is the actual
beginning of the Church in the world. The Word of God is preached and
baptism is administered. Here we see the power of the Holy Spirit to
change hearts. How important it is for us to live in the Holy Spirit
every day. Let us pray that the New Pentecost asked by Jesus will come
soon.

I am getting ready for Mabou, Nova Scotia. I'll be there Friday,
November 1 until Sunday, November 3. It takes time to prepare for a
weekend like this. I know the Lord through the Holy Spirit is my helper.

May the Lord anoint you all with the Holy Spirit. May He heal you of any
sickness you may have and give you all the gifts you need.
 
Father Melvin
