“I am the light”
Reading: Matthew 2:13-15
Dear friends,
“Behold the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you.” Matthew 2:13
We will have one hour of prayer in the prayer room from 11:00 p.m. to midnight tomorrow evening to thank the Lord for all He has done during 2007 and to ask for His help and protection for the New Year.
It will also be a time of reparation for all the insults hurled at Jesus during the past year.
My half-hour of prayer was spent with Our Lord Jesus to praise and thank Him for all the graces and help He gave us during the year that is slipping away.
He said, “Melvin, My brother and sharer in My priesthood, I love you. I bless and welcome all My brothers and sisters who wish to spend time with Me in prayer. I always wait for your visit every day.
The evil one was after Me right from My birth, desiring to destroy and eliminate Me from the face of the earth.
He used King Herod as his instrument by sending his army to Bethlehem to kill all the male children less than two years of age. My Father in heaven made sure that these soldiers would not find Me.
He sent an angel who appeared to Joseph in a dream to tell him to flee to Egypt with My Mother and Me. That very night he prepared everything and we fled Bethlehem toward Egypt. I was not welcomed in My homeland even though I was just an infant.
I had to go and live in a strange land. When it was time, the angel came back to Joseph in a dream to tell him that the King was dead and so we could return home.
The devil, the master of the darkness in the world, wanted to get rid of Me but he would not succeed until My hour had come.
However, I used this hour to offer My supreme sacrifice to My Father in heaven for the salvation of the people in the world. Through My sacrifice I defeated the evil one and My Kingdom was born.
I am the light who chases away the darkness spread by the enemy. His hold on the world is diminishing every time a person turns to Me, repents of his sins and enters My Kingdom.
All enter through the doors of My Church through baptism. Call everyone to enter the Kingdom prepared for you and there will be peace in the world. I love you and bless you.”
Father Melvin
