I  BLESS  YOU  

Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
Greetings on this partly cloudy morning. We did not have much rain
overnight but I could hear the thunder in the distance. It was very warm
last evening but it is cooler today.

In my prayer this morning, I was with Jesus as He made His way of the
cross through the streets of Jerusalem. He spoke to me saying, "Melvin,
my brother, come and join me as I carry my cross to Calvary. Walk behind
me and help me carry this heavy cross. I am so weak from the beatings I
received and from the loss of blood. I have already fallen from the
weight of the cross. I am condemn to death and I accept it for your
salvation and the salvation of all the people in the world. My dear
people, I am suffering for you. I will be crucified and I will die in
great pain for your redemption. I want you all to be my friends washed
in my blood. It is your sins that have caused me so much pain especially
the scourging, the weakness and fainting under the load of the cross,
the crucifixion and the three hours of terrible pain as I hung on the
cross. I suffered all this for you because I love you. Come, my people,
and spend time with me in my agony and pain. Lighten the burden I am
carrying by following me and helping me. I am so weak I feel as If I am
about to faint. I call you all to take up your cross and follow me. Live
with me today by accepting the trials and sufferings of the day and
offer them to me. Remember, I am on the way to Calvary to die for you. I
bless you, Melvin, and all my brothers and sisters. I love you all."

Today, Jesus is going through the passion for each one of us. He made me
participate in His way of the cross. How tired He is! He was covered in
bruises and blood from the scourging and He could hardly advance with
the weight of the cross on His shoulder. He asked me to help Him carry
the cross. He submitted to this terrible suffering out of love for us
all. After all this suffering, He has indeed the right to call us to
follow Him and to spend time with Him. His sacrifice for us is eternal
and it goes on today as in the past. Are we ready to come to Him and
give our lives to Him? Let us offer all our pain, joys and work to Him
for the salvation of the world.

I am now rested after my trip to the USA. I have to get ready to go to
Summerside  for the weekend. I will be at St. Paul's Church for
confessions tomorrow and Holy Mass on Sunday. May the Lord bless you
all.

Father Melvin
