April 25, 2001 A Call For Reparation
Dear Rita,
Greetings in the Lord to you and all who read this letter. Spring is now with us for the snow is going fast and water is flowing everywhere. There is hardly any snow left in the front yard but there is still plenty in the woods.
I went to give a talk to a group of youth last night about Jesus, our friend. I discussed with them what friendship is. Jesus wants to be their close friend if they want to spend time with Him. All the youth present bought a copy of the youth book. I pray that they will read it and it will help them to have a close friendship with Him. As soon as I had finished the talk to the youth, I joined another group meeting in the same house. This was a cursillo group who were on the cursillo weekend with me as I was their spiritual director.
I spent a half hour in contemplative prayer with Jesus this morning. He began by saying,
"Melvin, I embrace you, my dear brother. I'm happy you take the time to be with me each day.
Melvin, so many grave sins are committed every day against the Majesty of God. He is blatantly offended by very many people. Satan has hold of a large army of evildoers. I express my great concern that so many of my Father's children are rebelling against Him. Pride is the cause of all this. There is malice too enforced by the evil one.
Our Father loves His children and has given them everything. He created the world and everything in it for them. Each person is made in His own image and likeness. He showers His love on them continuously. I was sent by my Father to suffer and die to redeem them. What more could Our Father have done to show them His love?
Melvin and all you, my friends, I call you to make reparation for the horrible sins committed against your Creator, your Heavenly Father. Console His heart as His loving children. Offer all your sufferings and trials as an expression of your love for Him. Offer Him sacrifices daily, and pray for these sinners that they may turn away from their sins and repent. All prayers addressed to me are also offered to Him, for the Father and I are one.
Come and spend time with me, the Father and the Holy Spirit, every day in contemplative prayer. By means of this prayer you gladden my heart and that of the Father. It is the prayers of my friends that keep the world going. I bless you richly and I love you all."
In Jesus' words this morning, one can feel the pain in what He is saying. He calls us to be closer to Him and to repair with our love and sacrifices the grave offenses committed against Him and the Father. We know that Jesus wants unity among all Christians for divided we are very weak. The evil one is also using this disunity to discredit His Church in the eyes of the world. Let us pray often for complete unity among all Christians.
I will celebrate the Holy Eucharist today in a community care facility for the elderly. Many of these dear Christians spend long hours in prayer every day. How many rosaries they pray in the course of a day. They are Jesus' great friends. After the Holy Eucharist I will go to the funeral home to pray for a Catholic man of 54 years of age who died yesterday of cancer. I will officiate at his funeral and celebrate the Holy Eucharist for him tomorrow. This evening I will attend the prayer meeting at our parish with the 50+ who come every week.
May our friendship with Jesus grow every day and may we live in His peace.
Father Melvin.
April 26, 2001 A Call To Christian Community
Dear Rita,
Good morning on this 26th day of April. Greetings to all who read this message.
I thank the Lord that Spring has finally arrived and the green grass is sprouting everywhere. The streams are swollen from the melting snow and the robins are out in numbers every morning for their breakfast. Every day it is getting warmer and soon the buds will appear. With Spring, nature comes alive after being asleep all winter.
In prayer this morning, I was with the Risen Jesus who delighted in speaking of that first Christian Community and hopes that we would come back to it. He began by saying,
"Melvin, I love you. I live in your heart, very close to you. When I began my public life, I chose twelve men and formed a community with them. We lived together and traveled everywhere together. I was their teacher and their guide. They saw the miracles I performed to show that I was the Son of God. We held everything in common, and as their master they obeyed me. They witnessed my suffering at the hands of the authorities. We became very closely united. I gave them power to carry out my work. I made them priests and the pillars of my Church. It was after my Resurrection that I sent them throughout the world to teach the Good News I had given them. They are all saints except one. My grace was not in vain.
I call you and all your friends to form a community like I had with the twelve Apostles. I want a community of my brothers and sisters who will live in union with me and with one another. Model yourselves on that first community as I presented it to you and as it is presented in the Bible. I want families to bind themselves together in such communities. I want the youth to do the same. I also want, as I told you before, two religious societies, one for men and another for women. These will be bound to me by vows, and they will live in imitation of me. They are called to evangelize their brothers and sisters and help them live at a deeper level of union with me. These religious will animate the various communities for families and for youth. I am calling many to enter these communities. Pray that they will soon begin. I bless you and all my friends."
Today Jesus speaks about the founding Christian Community. It consisted of Jesus and the twelve. He wants us to live in similar communities. There is too much individualism today and to counteract this, Jesus wants us to build communities. Relationship is the key word in order to form community. All must have a close relationship with Jesus and with one another. I know Jesus has spoken of this in the past but now He wants them to begin.
Today I will preside at a funeral in Bloomfield Parish for Norman Larter, 53 years of age.
After the celebration of the Holy Eucharist and the final commendation, I will go to the eastern end of the Island. I will visit St. Peter's, Souris and Morell. I will be praying with a number of people who are sick. One person has MS and the other is searching for the Lord. Please pray for them.
Jesus loves you and blesses you all.
Father Melvin.

April 24, 2001 Open Your Heart To Me
Dear Rita,
Good morning to you and all Jesus' friends. We have another sunny day and more snow will go. It is melting fast these days in this Spring-like weather.
I was at St. Mark's last evening. I began with the celebration of the Holy Eucharist followed by my first talk on Contemplative prayer. I got the group to contemplate for about 10 minutes and they did very well. The sharing afterwards showed me that most of them entered into the prayer. I will continue with them next Monday. Fr. Brian McDougall, the Parish Priest, attended the talk and prayed with us.
During my half hour prayer this morning, I was with the Risen Jesus who began by saying,
"Melvin, I love you. I wait for you for this meeting every day. You are my friend and I desire with all my heart this visit with you. In this way our love can grow and our relationship deepened. I suffered, died and rose again to make you my brother and to share my life with you. We are now bound together forever. I love you as my very own.
Melvin, the quality of our relationship is very important. So many people know of me. They know that I was crucified and rose from the dead. They have intellectual knowledge of me, but their hearts are cold. They do not know me with the heart because they keep it shut tight. They don't allow me to come and live in them. With the result that I cannot have a true relationship with them. Without this relationship, they remain in their prison, in darkness and they feel great loneliness. Fear is the cause of this. I call them to pray that this fear be taken away, so that they can open their heart to me. My greatest desire is to live in the hearts of my friends. Let them be aware that I am standing at the door of their heart and knocking. May they make the great effort to open to me.
I love you all. Cooperate with my grace today as you advance towards me. I bless you with peace and joy."
Jesus loves us all intensely. He wants us all to come close to Him and we will experience the great love He has for each one of us. Contemplative prayer is a great means by which we can have an intimate bond with Jesus. It is a heart to heart conversation with Him. It is the key that unlocks every heart. It is the means by which Jesus can enter our heart. It is a gift to help us be intimate with Jesus. Some hearts are closed to Him. How wounded He is because of this.
Today a woman is coming to see me who has chained her heart shut for more than 20 years. She cannot allow herself to love her husband, her children, her grandchildren. She cannot allow Jesus to come in. I ask you all to pray that these chains be broken and that she allows Jesus to enter her heart. Her hurt is so great because of what happened in her life that now she fears to be hurt again.
May the Lord of love enfold you in His arms and fill you with Easter joy.
Father Melvin.

April 23, 2001 To live with Jesus
Dear Rita
Happy Monday morning to you all! How fast the snow can go! More than half of it disappeared in the last few days. I guess we will see Spring after all.
I had a busy day yesterday with the celebration of the Holy Eucharist at Bloomfield Church and at Glenwood. About 50 people attended the service for the Feast of Divine Mercy yesterday afternoon at Tignish.. In the evening many people came to the first evening of the seminar in the Life of the Spirit. Well over 100 people were there.
I began my contemplative prayer early this morning: 6:45. I was with Jesus who spoke to me saying,
"Melvin, I greet you and embrace you for I love you very much. Now that the Octave of Easter is over, we continue the Easter Season, a time when the first believers came to accept me as the Risen One. I appeared often to the Apostles during these 40 days to strengthen them in their faith. I am the strong one, the Saviour, the one who conquered sin and death. At the same time I am identified with you for I am human. Now that I am Risen, I want to be your strength, your hope, and your joy. There is no need to despair if you hold my hand. Let peace be my gift to you.
What is important in one's life is not money, fancy clothes or a new car, but a deep and close relationship with me. The things of the heart are much more important than material things. I spoke of this during my public life as Matthew 6, 25 - 34 testifies. Read this passage and have a true outlook on things. Turn your life over to me and you will see great things.
I call all my friends to come and sit down and have a serious conversation with me in prayer. Let them all come and open their heart to me. I will show them the pearl of great price and together we will work to achieve it. In fact the Kingdom is that pearl and I am the King. Once a person has found me, then everything else becomes secondary. You receive new eyes to look at yourself, at the world, and at the people in your life. You begin to see what is truly valuable in your life. Pride, exaggerated individualism and self-gratification are seen as obstacles to a life in union with me. Instead love, humility and obedience become virtues to be cultivated. They foster an intimate relationship with me. I bless you and love you all."
Jesus' call this morning to love, humility and obedience is a call to imitate Him. His life was purely an expression of love. He gave Himself completely to us out of love. His humility was so great as He is the Son of God who humbled Himself to be born like one of us. His obedience to His Father was complete even to death on the cross. These are the virtues He cultivated and He wants us to have them. Pride is the opposite of love. It is a false self-worth. Pride puts a person first even above God Himself. It is living a lie.
Exaggerated individualism thinks only of me. It uses others for its own end. The only one who counts is me and because of this there cannot be any true relationship with anyone.
Self-gratification is the result of consumerism. We think that material things can bring us happiness. So, when we see something new advertised we want it right away. So we need more money in order to buy more material things. With such a mentality it is impossible to cultivate a life of the spirit. The result is that such people are always empty and the more they have the more they want.
Jesus shows us the right path to follow, let us walk with Him.
This evening I will be at St. Mark's to begin my talks on contemplative prayer. Please pray for these sessions that more people will come to know Jesus through this form of prayer.
May Jesus bless you with His peace.
Fr. Melvin.

April 22, 2001- With Jesus
Dear Rita,
Greetings to you and all on this Second Sunday of Easter. Today is the last day of the Octave of Easter but the season of Easter continues. The temperature is getting warmer every day. Yesterday in the hot sun, much snow disappeared. Today I hope more goes after the fog lifts.
In prayer this morning I was with Jesus who spoke about the resurrection. He began by saying,
"Melvin, I love you, you are my faithful friend. Today I bring you to my empty tomb. It is a permanent symbol of my resurrection. You have been there in Jerusalem and you saw my tomb many times. Now there is just the slab on which my body was laid. People come to kiss this stone on which my lifeless body rested. It is fitting that we think of my resurrection today, Sunday, for every Sunday commemorates this event. That is the reason why Christians go to Church on Sunday and celebrate the Eucharist. When the time came for me to rise from the dead, my soul returned to my body which became a glorified body. Such a body is perfect and is not limited to time and space as other bodies are. A glorified body will never die and cannot feel pain or hunger.
After my resurrection from the dead, I visited my Mother in a private appearance which is not recorded. She had suffered much so it was only fitting that she should be the first to see me after I rose from the dead. What joy filled her heart at seeing me. Her sorrow vanished as she saw that I was alive again. I thanked her for being with me during my terrible suffering on the cross. She knew I was destined to suffer and die for you and all the peoples of the world, and she united her sufferings to mine.
All you who suffer, unite your sufferings to mine and my dear mother. All such sufferings are redemptive if united to mine. To suffer is part of human life, however, all who allow me I will help them carry their cross. I will never allow you to be alone for I love you.
I bless you as your Risen Saviour. Let me live in your heart today. I bring you grace in abundance and fill you with joy."
I spent three months in Jerusalem and I went often to the tomb in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. In the evenings I would spend a half hour in prayer kneeling by the slab. I bought a crucifix in a little store along the Way of the Cross and I brought it with me to the tomb. It laid on the slab for over a half hour as I asked Jesus to bless it. It is now a precious reminder of the tomb and the resurrection. What a great event the Resurrection is! It is the event that changed the world.
Today we celebrate the Sunday of Divine Mercy. Dear St. Faustina was the person whom Jesus appeared to and asked that the Second Sunday of Easter be proclaimed in the Church as Divine Mercy Sunday. Pope John Paul II made it official last year soon after he canonized Sr. Faustina. Let us immerse ourselves in His mercy. Jesus said to Sr. Faustina, "I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion."
I have a busy day today. I will celebrate the Holy Eucharist at Bloomfield parish at 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. I will attend the celebration at Tignish Parish in honour of Divine Mercy at 3:00 p.m. I will give a talk to those present on Divine Mercy.
This evening at 7:00 I will be at Palmer Road Church for the beginning of the seminar in the Life in the Holy Spirit.
May the Lord bless you and cover you all in His mercy.
Father Melvin.

April 21, 2001 With Jesus and Mary
Dear Rita,
Greetings in the Lord on another beautiful sunny day! The snow is now disappearing fast. A few more days of this weather and it will be just about all gone.
I had a visit yesterday afternoon from a man who lives at the other end of the Island. We had a great talk. I showed him the picture of Our Lady holding the child Jesus which was made by Amanda Richard. It represents the vision I had of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island. We spoke of the great need for conversion in our country and throughout the world. This is often the subject of the communications from Jesus and His Blessed Mother.
This morning during my time of contemplative prayer, I was with Jesus at the beginning and later on He took me to visit Our Heavenly Mother. Jesus began by saying,
"Melvin, O how I love you! Oh! what joy to be together again! As this is Saturday let us go and visit Our Mother."
As we arrived Mary welcomed us with open arms. We sat in her bright and peaceful sitting room. Jesus greeted His Mother saying,
"Mother, I greet you on this your day."
I greeted her too saying,
"I greet you, dearest Mother, on the day the Church customarily honours you in a special way."
Our dear Mother said,
"Welcome to my home, Jesus and Melvin. What joy fills my heart, Jesus, as we remember the day of your Resurrection. How could any person doubt your love after that terrible suffering and cruel death on the cross you suffered for all of us.
Melvin, I am always happy to see you. You always come to visit me with Jesus. I am very pleased, Melvin, that many people read about your prayer each morning. Jesus and I bless all those who take to heart what we communicate to you, and what the Father tells you. Let them all think about and cherish these words for they are for their good.
Live, my dear son, as if you were already with us in heaven. Prayer is the key that unites you to us in heaven. Prayer lifts your heart and mind to God. I call you, Melvin, and all my sons and daughters to this prayer of the heart where you can all be in communion with the Father, Jesus and I, and all the angels and saints through the power of the Holy Spirit. This prayer unites heaven and earth. Pray often and with great fervour.
Melvin, I cannot end this conversation without mentioning my great desire to have a shrine build in my honour in Prince Edward Island. This is the great longing of my heart.
When this shrine is built, my children will come in great numbers to visit it to pray and to ask for my help. I will bless all those who will come to honour me and to express their love. Jesus, who is enthroned in all shrines, will shower His gift of grace on all. His grace will be fruitful by many conversions, increase of faith, and return to the church. He will give all the gift of peace who come with a sincere heart. Melvin, I am the Lady of Prince Edward Island as the picture I asked you to have painted testifies . As you clearly saw in the vision I gave you, the picture shows me standing on a piece of land in the shape of the Island. This picture is dear to my heart. Have photographs made and may all the homes on the Island and off the Island, display this pa/hl/sales_1.html" target="_upone">  Antibiotic's Sales Rise as Anthrax Fear Persists
