March 14, 2024 Reflection – Living and witnessing Our Lady’s messages!

Living and witnessing Our Lady’s messages!   March 14, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! In this very chaotic world, it can seem that we are not doing enough. There are so many battlegrounds today in which we could fight for the good. It is overwhelming. And many of us are engaged in ministries and outreaches for the good. But there is one work that must not be neglected, the work of living and spreading the presence of Our Lady of Medjugorje. We, who are responding to her call have the honor of carrying her presence and her messages into the world for all who need her so much! If we, who know her, do not do it, who will? Here is a message in which she calls us to be her witnesses. Just as the apostles were witnesses to Jesus, so we are now called to be Our Mother’s witnesses. Who can better witness to Our Lady and her messages than we who are living with her in our daily life? Our Lady of Medjugorje is important in this embattled world. She is the Queen of Peace, who has been sent by God to save us from disaster. June 25, 1999 “Dear children! Today I thank you for living and witnessing my messages with your life. Little children, be strong and pray so that prayer may give you strength and joy. Only in this way will each of you be mine and I will lead you on the way of salvation. Little children, pray and with your life witness my presence here. May each day be a joyful witness for you of God’s love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” We need to live and witness her messages. Her messages are her plan for victory in this fight for souls. If we listen to and live what she has taught us, we will be lights for so many who now are in the darkness. Thank you for being witnesses of Our Lady’s presence and her messages in this suffering and broken world. We will only see in Heaven how powerful our witness was for others! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024  

March 13, 2024 Reflection – The Fierce Love of God!

The Fierce Love of God!   March 13, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Yesterday as I prayed in the early morning I had a little experience of God. It was very brief. But I felt the “Fierce” Love of God trying to break through! His Fierce Love wanted to come into my heart. It was so powerful and real! God’s Love is Fierce, because He is so powerful, and He wants us for Himself!! It was such a comforting feeling, the Fierce Love of God. Like the kind of love a father has for his child, especially if the child is in danger. That father would do anything for his little one. And that is what I felt from our Father God! Such Fatherly love for me, as a little one. Of course, I don’t think I would survive for long if I experienced the strong love of God for me. I am too fragile. But God seems to want me to get ready for it! Our Lady has talked about God’s strong love for us. Here is a message in which she calls us to love, in order to be able to receive God’s great love for us: April 25, 1995 “Dear children! Today I call you to love. Little children, without love you can neither live with God nor with brother. Therefore, I call all of you to open your hearts to the love of God that is so great and open to each one of you. God, out of love for man, has sent me among you to show you the path of salvation, the path of love. If you do not first love God, then you will neither be able to love neighbor nor the one you hate. Therefore, little children, pray and through prayer you will discover love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” I believe that Our Lady wants us to open our hearts to the love of God that is so great because that is the only way that we will experience His love in all its power! We need to pray, and seek God’s love, ask for it, desire it, be open to it, and long for it! God wants to love us with all His might, but we are not ready to receive it!! We need to desire it more and more, and long for Him. Then, as we widen our hearts, God will be able to pour His love into them with power!! Love is the key to everything. Love is God’s secret weapon. Love is our hope and our way. Love for God is our salvation! Seek to receive God’s love, and love Him back with all that you have within you!! That’s what it takes!!

March 12, 2024 Reflection – Give time to God every day…

Give time to God every day….   March 12, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! When I sat down to write this reflection, I had no idea what to write about. So I asked Our Lady if she could give me even one word, one clue as to what she wanted me to write. As I quieted myself to pray, I heard this one word, “patiently”. I did a search of the messages with the word “patiently” in them and the first one I read was this one: July 25, 1994. It is a lovely message and just what I needed to ponder!! July 25, 1994 “Dear children! Today I invite you to decide to give time patiently for prayer. Little children, you cannot say you are mine and that you have experienced conversion through my messages if you are not ready to give time to God every day. I am close to you and I bless you all. Little children, do not forget that if you do not pray you are not close to me, nor are you close to the Holy Spirit who leads you along the path to holiness. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Mother knows how distractable and weak we are. She knows that we can do a great job of praying one day, and then the next day not pray at all!! We are all like children. We need our Mother. I am gong to examine my habits and see what needs to change so that I can “give time patiently for prayer!!” Let’s pray for one another that we can give time to God every day in prayer – personal, deep and loving prayer!!

March 11, 2024 Reflection – Follow me…

Follow me… March 11, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady calls us to follow her. She comes every day to Medjugorje, in order to gather us to herself, and lead us forward. Her motherly heart is filled with love for us, and draws us to herself through that love. Here are 5 messages in which she calls us to follow her. Let’s pray a rosary today, meditating on these messages and opening our hearts to her call: June 25, 2008 “Dear children! Also today, with great joy in my heart, I call you to follow me and to listen to my messages. Be joyful carriers of peace and love in this peaceless world. I am with you and I bless you all with my Son Jesus, the King of Peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” July 25, 2010 “Dear children! Anew I call you to follow me with joy. I desire to lead all of you to my Son, your Savior. You are not aware that without Him you do not have joy and peace, nor a future or eternal life. Therefore, little children, make good use of this time of joyful prayer and surrender. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May 2, 2005 “Dear children, I am with you that I can take you all to my Son. I wish to lead you all to salvation. Follow me, because in just this way you will find true peace and happiness. My little children come with me!” January 2, 2007 “Dear Children! In this holy time full of God’s graces and His love which sends me to you, I implore you not to have a heart of stone. May fasting and prayer be your weapon for drawing closer to and coming to know Jesus, my Son. Follow me and my luminous example. I will help you. I am with you. Thank you.” April 2, 2012 “Dear children, As the Queen of Peace, I desire to give peace to you, my children, true peace which comes through the heart of my Divine Son. As a mother I pray that wisdom, humility and goodness may come to reign in your hearts; that peace may reign; that my Son may reign… When my Son will be the ruler in your hearts, you will be able to help others to come to know Him. When heavenly peace comes to rule over you, those who are seeking it in the wrong places, thus causing pain to my motherly heart, will recognize it. My children, great will be my joy when I see that you are accepting my words and that you desire to follow me. Do not be afraid, you are not alone. Give me your hands and I will lead you. Do not forget your shepherds. Pray that in their thoughts they may always be with my Son who called them to witness Him. Thank you.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024 P.S.

March 8, 2024 Reflection – The Great Sign has been granted!

The Great Sign has been granted!   March 8, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady has told us that Satan has a plan to destroy as many of God’s children as he can. It is a devious and hidden plan which poisons minds and hearts to God and the good. It is called Modernism. Here is one of her messages in which she has warned us of Satan’s plan: May 25, 2010 “Dear children! God gave you the grace to live and to defend all the good that is in you and around you, and to inspire others to be better and holier; but Satan, too, does not sleep and through modernism diverts you and leads you to his way. Therefore, little children, in the love for my Immaculate Heart, love God above everything and live His commandments. In this way, your life will have meaning and peace will rule on earth. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Modernism is a powerful tool for evil, because it insinuates new ways of thinking that seem harmless but are poison for the soul. Our godless societies today are the fruit of modernism. But there is an antidote. If souls can be shown that God does exist, they will drop modernism in a moment! God exists!! This is the great truth that will destroy Satan’s masterplan to steal souls. God has granted the Great Sign. Our Lady gave the visionaries this message: Tuesday, August 31, 1982 “I do not dispose all graces. I receive from God what I obtain through prayer. God has placed His complete trust in me. I protect particularly, those who have been consecrated to me. The great sign has been granted. It will appear independently of the conversion of the people.” The Great Sign has been granted!! And Mary TV has been directed in prayer to build a facility at the foot of Apparition Hill, from which the Great Sign can be streamed live throughout the world. I have included a link (below) to a video on Mary TV’s website that explains our project to stream the Great Sign. Please watch it and share it with others. And please pray for Mary TV, that all will be accomplished in God’s time! Here is the video: God to the link below and play the video at the top of the page!

March 7, 2024 Reflection – Be joyfully extended hands…

Be joyfully extended hands towards those who do not believe…   March 7, 2024 Sts. Perpetua and Felicity Dear Family of Mary! Today we celebrate two women who were early Christina martyrs, St. Perpetua and St. Felicity. Their witness was incredible. Perpetua was a young mother with a tiny infant. She refused to abandon her Christian faith. Felicity was also a young woman, who was eight months pregnant. She too would not renounce her faith. They remained faithful, waiting for the birth of Felicity’s little child, and were then led into the arena to be killed by wild animals and soldier’s swords. Their witness impressed even their captors. And we too are in awe of their courage and love of God. Our Lady would say that these two young women were her extended hands. They gave up everything for love of her Son, Jesus! And their witness helped many to convert and draw closer to God. As Our Lady said to us: “Be my extended hands for every creature, so that it may draw closer to the God of love.” (06/25/09) Certainly St. Felicity and St. Perpetua are her extended hands to this day! Listen to this call from our Mother, Mary: November 25, 1997  “Dear children! Today I invite you to comprehend your Christian vocation. Little children, I led and am leading you through this time of grace, that you may become conscious of your Christian vocation. Holy martyrs died witnessing: I am a Christian and love God over everything. Little children, today also I invite you to rejoice and be joyful Christians, responsible and conscious that God called you in a special way to be joyfully extended hands toward those who do not believe, and that through the example of your life, they may receive faith and love for God. Therefore, pray, pray, pray that your heart may open and be sensitive for the Word of God. Thank you for having responded to my call. It is a beautiful reality that God calls us to be “joyfully extended hands toward those who do not believe and that through the example of your life, they may receive faith and love for God!” May it be so!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024  

March 6, 2024 Reflection – Be my extended hands…

Be my extended hands…   March 6, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady said to us: “Dear children! Pray and renew your heart so that the good which you have sown may bear the fruit of joy and oneness with God. Darnel has seized many hearts and they have become unfruitful; that is why, you little children, be light, love and my outstretched hands in this world which yearns for God Who is love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (02/25/24) I must admit that sometimes I can’t take in all Our Lady says to us in her monthly message all at once. Each month I need time to let her words sink in. It seems especially true when she asks us to actually do something for her. It just doesn’t sink in. For instance she said in the most recent message, “…you little children, be light, love and my outstretched hands in this world which yearns for God Who is love.” She asked us to be light! How can we be light? She asked us to be love! I guess we can grasp this task a little. But then she asked us to be her outstretched hands!!! Again, I am not sure how to do it? It is something to ponder. To be her hands, stretched out to others, is a great honor. But how do we do it? I decided to look at the messages from the past in which Our Lady mentioned this task. Here are a few for us to ponder. We want to respond with a big yes to Our Lady’s requests! Maybe we can pray over these like a litany… Be my extended hands… That is why, you who live my messages be the light and extended hands to this faithless world that all may come to know the God of Love. (11/25/01) Open your hearts, little children, and let your hands be extended and generous so that, through you, every creature may thank God the Creator. (9/25/04) You, little children, be my extended hands and by your example draw them closer to my Heart and the Heart of my Son. (11/25/04) Today I call you to be my extended hands in this world that puts God in the last place. You, little children, put God in the first place in your life. God will bless you and give you strength to bear witness to Him, the God of love and peace. (02/25/05) Be my extended hands for every creature, so that it may draw closer to the God of love. (06/25/09) Little children, be my extended hands, hands of love for all those who have become lost, who have no more faith and hope. (11/25/09) Witness and pray that you may be my extended hands to this world which yearns for God and peace. (12/25/11) 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 (01/25/12) You, little children, be my extended hands and proudly go with God. (06/25/19) Leave sin and evil, decide for holiness and joy will begin to reign; and you will be my extended hands in this lost world. (05/25/21) You, little children, are my extended hands: pray, fast and offer sacrifices for peace – the treasure for which every heart yearns. (10/25/23) Dearest Mother, we long to serve you. You have been sent to us to lead us to your Son. You are with us, tirelessly encouraging us, teaching us, protecting us, and comforting us. Help us to learn how to be your extended hands to others who need you so much! We love you, dearest Mother Mary!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024  

March 5, 2024 Reflection – Explain to us the parable…

Explain to us the parable…   March 5, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Here again is Our Lady’s Message of February 25, 2024: “Dear children! Pray and renew your heart so that the good which you have sown may bear the fruit of joy and oneness with God. Darnel has seized many hearts and they have become unfruitful; that is why, you little children, be light, love and my outstretched hands in this world which yearns for God Who is love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (February 25, 2024) Our shipmate, JoAnn, pointed out to me that the subject of the Darnel continues further on in Matthew 13. The Lord spent time with his disciples explaining the parable of the wheat and the darnel (weeds) later in the chapter. Here is what Jesus plainly taught the disciples about the darnel: Matthew 13:36-43 Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds [darnel] of the field.” He answered, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of man; the field is the world, and the good seed means the sons of the kingdom; the weeds [darnel]are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels. Just as the weeds [darnel] are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age. The Son of man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear. (Mt 13:36-43) Clearly this gospel reading is about the end of the world It is about judgement. God is the reaper, gathering in the good wheat and casting the darnel into the furnace of everlasting fire. And this is why Our Lady has come. She is with us to prepare us for the judgment of God. She is asking us to be light and love and outstretched hands in this world that yearns for God Who is Love!. We have a role to play in this last age. We need to rescue as many souls as possible from the poison of the darnel that has been sown throughout the world. Only love can save the souls who are in danger of becoming the darnel (the sons of the evil one) that will be lost. We can be that love if we respond to Our Lady’s call. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

March 4, 2024 Reflection – Darnel has seized many hearts…

Wheat and Darnel   March 4, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! We received this message from Our Lady through Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti on February 25, 2024: “Dear children! Pray and renew your heart so that the good which you have sown may bear the fruit of joy and oneness with God. Darnel has seized many hearts and they have become unfruitful; that is why, you little children, be light, love and my outstretched hands in this world which yearns for God Who is love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (February 25, 2024) Many of you have written or called me asking what or who is Darnel? What is Our Lady telling us? Briefly, I want to explain it! Darnel is a plant! It is the plant that is referred to in the parable of the Weeds and the Wheat, (Mt 13:24-30). “Another parable he put before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. And the servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then has it weeds?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ But he said, ‘No; lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. Let both grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.’” (Matthew 13:24-30, RSV-CE) Darnel is a plant that looks very much like wheat when it first begins to grow. If the weed, Darnel, is scattered among the wheat plants, it is very hard to detect.  You can’t tell the difference at the beginning, and so it must be allowed to grow to maturity and then gathered and burned. If it is not separated at the harvest time, it will contaminate the wheat crop, because it’s seeds are poisonous. They cause hallucinations and many other mental illnesses. So you can see why Our Lady would warn us of Darnel in our hearts and in the hearts of all those around us. Darnel stands for the evil ideas, tendencies, habits, and desires that the enemy sows in hearts. When first planted in people’s hearts, these ideas may seem good or harmless at best. But they are not from God and lead to evil. Many lives will become fruitless if these evil weeds are left to grow. We need to keep our own hearts clean of Darnel, and to help others by our love and light, to reject the Darnel in their hearts as well. This is truly a warning against Modernism in all its forms, which has contaminated the whole world. But Our Lady is here to weed the garden! Thanks for your patience. I just wanted to make sure everyone understood this amazing message! There are many applications of this image of Wheat and Darnel! Take it to prayer!! God wants to give us His light!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024  

February 25, 2024 Message!

The February 25, 2024 Message!   February 25, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Here is the message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace, given through Marija Pavlovic Lunetti! Dear children! Pray and renew your heart so that the good which you have sown may bear the fruit of joy and oneness with God. Darnel has seized many hearts and they have become unfruitful; that is why, you little children, be light, love and my outstretched hands in this world which yearns for God Who is love. Thank you for having responded to my call. (February 25, 2024) In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024
