Live your vocation in prayer.   September 18, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! January 25, 2015 “Dear children! Also today I call you: live your vocation in prayer. Now, as never before, Satan wants to suffocate man and his soul by his contagious wind of hatred and unrest. In many hearts there is no joy because there is no God or prayer. Hatred and war are growing from day to day. I am calling you, little children, begin anew, with enthusiasm, the walk of holiness and love; since I have come among you because of this. Together let us be love and forgiveness for all those who know and want to love only with a human love and not with that immeasurable love of God to which God calls you. Little children, may hope in a better tomorrow always be in your heart. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Let us live our vocation in prayer!! We are called to be love!!

Fall in love with eternal life!   September 17, 2025 St. Robert Bellarmine, St.Hildegard of Bingen Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady never stops encouraging us to conversion and a deep awareness of God! She wants us to truly understand what life is all about! We do not live in order to gather money or achievements, honors or power. All of these things are passing. We live for God and His Kingdom. That is all that really matters for us humans on earth. And yet, the alurements of the world, the desires of the flesh, and the pride of life can cover over our senses, and fool us into thinking we can make a little heaven here on earth. Those who live for these things have a rude awakening at death. Our Lady has given us many messages that warn us about the traps of the world, the flesh and the devil. She can give us the true perspective on life, if only we listen to her. Here is one such message. Let’s take it to heart! January 25, 2009  “Dear children! Also today I call you to prayer. May prayer be for you like the seed that you will put in my heart, which I will give over to my Son Jesus for you, for the salvation of your souls… I desire, little children, for each of you to fall in love with eternal life which is your future, and for all worldly things to be a help for you to draw you closer to God the Creator. I am with you for this long because you are on the wrong path. Only with my help, little children, you will open your eyes. There are many of those who, by living my messages, comprehend that they are on the way of holiness towards eternity. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Mother, please pray for us that we will fall in love with eternal life! Never stop warning us and please take us by the hand when temptation approaches and lead us to the safety of your Son, Jesus!!

Youth Festival 2025 – This little light of mine!!! “Build a new world of peace with me through prayer.”   September 16, 2025 Saints Cornelius and Cyprian Dear Family of Mary! As I sat down to write this reflection, I prayed to Our Lady to give me a word or two! I immeditely heard the words “eternal life”. I hadn’t been thinking of it. But I went ahead and did a word search in the messages, and the first instance of those two words was in the message of December 25, 1992. As I read the message it seemed to me that it was perfect! Just what we need to hear now in 2025! So here is that message. I believe it is meant for us today: December 25, 1992  “Dear children! I desire to place all of you under my mantle and protect you from all satanic attacks. Today is a day of peace, but in the whole world there is a great lack of peace. That is why I call you all to build a new world of peace with me through prayer. This I cannot do without you, and this is why I call all of you with my motherly love and God will do the rest. So, open yourselves to God’s plan and to His designs to be able to cooperate with Him for peace and for everything that is good. Do not forget that your life does not belong to you, but is a gift with which you must bring joy to others and lead them to eternal life. May the tenderness of the little Jesus always accompany you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady’s words are as true today as they were 33 years ago. In our world today there is a great lack of peace! Truly, war threatens everywhere. There is great unrest and fear between nations and even within nations. But she still says to us. “I call you all to build a new world of peace with me through prayer!” Truly it is primarily through prayer that peace will come. Please pray over this message today. How can each one of us help Our Lady to build a new world of peace through prayer? Let’s ask her to lead each of us in that prayer, so that all together we will cover the globe with prayer. As Our Lady said: “Open yourselves to God’s plan and to His designs to be able to cooperate with Him for peace and for everything that is good!!!” Don’t forget the call to pray with Our Lady when she comes in Medjugorje each day (5:40 pm Medj time)! When she comes she unites her prayer with ours. It is very powerful!! As she said: “I call you all to build a new world of peace with me through prayer!” That moment each day is when our prayer will be most powerful because Our Lady will be physically with us in prayer in Medjugorje!! Together we will make a difference! One prayer at a time, one person at a time, we can bring peace where there is war, love where there is hatred, hope where there is despair. We can cooperate with God for peace and everything that is good! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan Mary TV.TV www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/

Our Lady of Sorrows September 15, 2025 Our Lady of Sorrows Dear Family of Mary! Today is the Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows. What an honor it is for us to compassionate with Our Mother, Mary on this day together as a Church. Our Lady carried all the sufferings of her Son, throughout His earthly life and at the hour of His death. She did not run away or flinch.

Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.   September 11, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! The Gospel for today is one to remember. Jesus not only spoke these words but He lived them. Help us, Lord, to do the same!!! Luke 6:27 – 38 “But I say to you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. “Give to every one who begs from you; and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again. And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them. “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. “And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. “But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish. “Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. “For the measure you give will be the measure you get back.” Our Lady gave us a beautiful message that echoes Jesus’ words: February 2, 2013  “Dear children, love is bringing me to you – the love which I desire to teach you also – real love; the love which my Son showed you when He died on the Cross out of love for you; the love which is always ready to forgive and to ask for forgiveness. How great is your love? My motherly heart is sorrowful as it searches for love in your hearts. You are not ready to submit your will to God’s will out of love. You cannot help me to have those who have not come to know God’s love to come to know it, because you do not have real love. Consecrate your hearts to me and I will lead you. I will teach you to forgive, to love your enemies and to live according to my Son. Do not be afraid for yourselves. In afflictions my Son does not forget those who love. I will be beside you. I will implore the Heavenly Father for the light of eternal truth and love to illuminate you. Pray for your shepherds so that through your fasting and prayer they can lead you in love. Thank you.” Real love! This is what Jesus taught us by His life!! Mother Mary did the same! May we follow their lead, and learn “real love”!

I bring you my motherly blessing of peace. September 10, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady comes to us with her blessing of peace! She comes to us in Medjugorje as the “Queen of Peace!” She is able to give us peace, because in her purity and love of God, she radiates peace to all who encounter her. Today there is so very little peace on earth. And that is why she has come, to bring us the blessing of peace. We need peace. Our hearts yearn for peace. May her presence and her words give us peace today, and tomorrow, and always! Five messages for our Rosary today: June 25, 1997 “Dear children! Today I am with you in a special way and I bring you my motherly blessing of peace. I pray for you and I intercede for you before God, so that you may comprehend that each of you is a carrier of peace. You cannot have peace if your heart is not at peace with God. That is why, little children, pray, pray, pray, because prayer is the foundation of your peace. Open your heart and give time to God so that He will be your friend. When true friendship with God is realized, no storm can destroy it. Thank you for having responded to my call.” December 25, 2006 “Dear children! Also today I bring you the newborn Jesus in my arms. He who is the King of Heaven and earth, He is your peace. Little children, no one can give you peace as He who is the King of Peace. Therefore, adore Him in your hearts, choose Him and you will have joy in Him. He will bless you with His blessing of peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” March 25, 2011 “Dear children! In a special way today I desire to call you to conversion. As of today, may new life begin in your heart. Children, I desire to see your ‘yes’, and may your life be a joyful living of God’s will at every moment of your life. In a special way today, I bless you with my motherly blessing of peace, love and unity in my heart and in the heart of my Son Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.” December 25, 2013 “Dear children! I am carrying to you the King of Peace that He may give you His peace. You, little children, pray, pray, pray. The fruit of prayer will be seen on the faces of the people who have decided for God and His Kingdom. I, with my Son Jesus, bless you all with a blessing of peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” December 25, 2015 “Dear children! Also today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you and from this embrace I am giving you His peace and a longing for Heaven. I am praying with you for peace and am calling you to be peace… I am blessing all of you with my motherly blessing of peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan Mary TV.TV www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/  

The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary September 8, 2025 Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Dear Family of Mary! Today we celebrate our Heavenly Mother’s Earthly Birthday!! And what a celebration it should be!! She, through the prevenient grace coming from Jesus’ death on the cross, was conceived without sin, the second Eve, who would never sin, and make it possible for Jesus to be conceived in her womb for us all!!! Wow!! I am presenting a text written by Fr. Paul Scalia on Our Lady’s conception and birth. It came from the Magnificat, Sept. 2025. It is most beautiful. We need to have such beauty in our minds these days!! I will arrange the text so that we can ponder it better: The Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary invokes our Lady as “Virgin most renowned.” It is of course a fair description—most renowned because she alone is both Virgin and Mother; most renowned because through her virginity she became the Mother of God; most renowned as she herself foretold: For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed. The Latin for this invocation brings out another dimension: Virgo praedicanda—literally, “Virgin needing to be proclaimed”—not that she is not already known and renowned, but that she still needs to be made known. And this is so for one simple reason: Mary is the full flowering of the grace of Jesus Christ. To know her is to know what he has accomplished, what his victory has won. She shows in a singular manner what all of us are called to become…. In Mary we find the glorious truth that God created one of us without sin—that he became her Son, was carried in her womb, rested in her lap, obeyed her words…and that he assumed her body and soul to himself…. She is the realization of all that he has promised us. The singular graces she received reveal what God intends to accomplish for all…. By keeping her free from sin, he shows that he desires to deliver all of us from sin and make us full of grace—defined by grace, as she was. In her becoming the Mother of God, we learn that he desires us to conceive him in our thoughts and bring him forth by our words and actions. He makes her virginity fruitful because he intends our souls likewise to be pure and fruitful. And he assumes her body and soul into heaven because he desires to raise our bodies to the same glory. In proclaiming Mary we make known not only Christ’s masterpiece of grace but also what he desires to accomplish in us. Father Paul Scalia (Father Scalia is a priest in the diocese of Arlington, Virginia, where he serves as Vicar for Clergy and pastor of Saint James in Falls Church. / From That Nothing May Be Lost: Reflections on Catholic Doctrine and Devotion. © 2017, Ignatius Press, San Francisco, CA. www.ignatius.com.) May we ponder Our Lady in her Nativity, pure and spotless, given to us as our Mother because she is Jesus’ Mother! By her very existence she calls us to holiness!! Amen! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan Mary TV.TV P.S. Update on Denis! We were not able to do our usual shows on Mary TV last week because Denis had a difficult surgery on Wednesday, at a hospital three hours from our home. We spent last week there. His surgery was succeessful, and we are able to be back up, live, on Mary TV today (Monday). Thank you for your prayers and your patience! We missed you all!! www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/

Little children, with your lives witness faith…   September 1, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady calls us to listen to her call in this message. Of course, we are trying to listen to her every word. But it is not as easy as it sounds. Listening to Our Lady involves using our inner ears, those ears that listen to the Holy Spirit and always seek to go deeper into the meaining of her words. We can try to go deeper with this message. If we open our hearts, and listen to her call, the message will come alive for us! We need to wait on the Holy Spirit as we read the message and let Him illuminate it for us. Then we will begin to understand Her words for each one of us, according to God’s plan. Mother Mary, help us to hear your call in this message so that we can become your extended hands! January 25, 2012  “Dear children! With joy, also today I call you to open your hearts and to listen to my call. Anew, I desire to draw you closer to my Immaculate Heart, where you will find refuge and peace. Open yourselves to prayer, until it becomes a joy for you. Through prayer, the Most High will give you an abundance of grace and you will become my extended hands in this restless world which longs for peace. Little children, with your lives witness faith and pray that faith may grow day by day in your hearts. I am with you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan Mary TV.TV P.S.
