On the Road! April 3, 2024 Wednesday within the Octave of Easter Dear Family of Mary! Today Denis and I travel home from Medjugorje. It is a sad day for us, but we are so grateful for our time here! We will be unpacking the graces for many days. But I realized that the Gospel for today is quite appropriate because it tells the story of two of Jesus’ disciples who were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus. And they were debating about all that had happened to Jesus. Here is the account of that trip for those two very blessed disciples: A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke 24:13-35 That very day, the first day of the week, two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred. And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him. He asked them, “What are you discussing as you walk along?” They stopped, looking downcast. One of them, named Cleopas, said to him in reply, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know of the things that have taken place there in these days?” And he replied to them, “What sort of things?” They said to him, “The things that happened to Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, how our chief priests and rulers both handed him over to a sentence of death and crucified him. But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel; and besides all this, it is now the third day since this took place. Some women from our group, however, have astounded us: they were at the tomb early in the morning and did not find his Body; they came back and reported that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who announced that he was alive. Then some of those with us went to the tomb and found things just as the women had described, but him they did not see.” And he said to them, “Oh, how foolish you are! How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them what referred to him in all the Scriptures. As they approached the village to which they were going, he gave the impression that he was going on farther. But they urged him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them. And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight. Then they said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us on the way and opened the Scriptures to us?” So they set out at once and returned to Jerusalem where they found gathered together the Eleven and those with them who were saying, “The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!” Then the two recounted what had taken place on the way and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.   The Gospel of the Lord. Denis and I expect to encounter Jesus on our trip as well! Because the Lord is always finding ways to break into our lives! Jesus is Risen!! He is with us!! We are so blessed!! Blessed Easter!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024 PS. Today is Day 6 of the Divine Mercy Novena! Pray it with us on Mary TV, on the Hour of Mercy. https://marytv.tv/hour-of-mercy/ (We may not be able to record today’s prayer.)        

He is Risen!  Alleluia!!!   April 2, 2024 Tuesday within the Octave of Easter Dear Family of Mary! Jesus Christ is Risen from the Dead! Alleluia!!! The Gospel for today says it all! John 20:11-18 Mary Magdalene stayed outside the tomb ­weeping. And as she wept, she bent over into the tomb and saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet where the Body of Jesus had been. And they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken my Lord, and I don’t know where they laid him.” When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus there, but did not know it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” She thought it was the gardener and said to him, “Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you laid him, and I will take him.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni,” which means Teacher. Jesus said to her, “Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” Mary went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and then reported what he had told her.  What can we say about this amazing encounter! Jesus was no longer in the tomb! Mary wept, longing to find His Body. She could not yet believe that He was risen. So when He spoke to her, she thought He was the gardener. We often put limits on God, by our preconceived ideas. Resurrection from the dead is one of those ideas. We just can’t imagine it! Mary is sent to us just as she was sent to the brothers, the disciples, to smash that preconceived idea. Jesus is Risen! He is no longer dead, but lives!!! We need to let it sink in!! Jesus died, but is risen from the dead!! This changes everything for us!! April 25, 2003 “Dear children! I call you also today to open yourselves to prayer. In the foregone time of Lent you have realized how small you are and how small your faith is. Little children, decide also today for God, that in you and through you He may change the hearts of people, and also your hearts. Be joyful carriers of the risen Jesus in this peaceless world, which yearns for God and for everything that is from God. I am with you, little children, and I love you with a special love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May we, like Mary Magdalene, be joyful carriers of the risen Jesus in this peaceless world!! Mother is with us, we have nothing to fear! Blessed Easter!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024 PS. Today is Day 5 of the Divine Mercy Novena! Pray it with us on Mary TV, on the Hour of Mercy. https://marytv.tv/hour-of-mercy/  

Monday within the Octave of Easter   April 1, 2024 Monday within the Octave of Easter Dear Family of Mary! Jesus Christ is Risen from the Dead! Alleluia!!! “Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, and ran to announce the news to his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them. They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.” (Matthew 28: 8- 11) Jesus, newly risen from the dead, appeared to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, and told them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.” Jesus knew that when the women saw Him, it would be a big shock. He wanted to calm that shock. “Do not be afraid…” The reality of His presence was all they needed! Our Lady has also spoken to her chosen ones with calming words: September 2, 2013  “Dear children, I love you all. All of you, all of my children, all of you are in my heart. All of you have my motherly love, and I desire to lead all of you to come to know God’s joy. This is why I am calling you. I need humble apostles who, with an open heart, will accept the Word of God and help others to comprehend the meaning of their life along side God’s word. To be able to do this my children, through prayer and fasting, you must learn to listen with the heart and to learn to keep submitting yourselves. You must learn to keep rejecting everything that distances you from God’s word and to yearn only for that which draws you closer to it. Do not be afraid. I am here. You are not alone. I am imploring the Holy Spirit to renew and strengthen you. I am imploring the Holy Spirit that, as you help others, you too may be healed. I am imploring Him that, through Him, you may be God’s children and my apostles…” Our Lady speaks such words of love and comfort to us. She has a job for us to do but she wants us to be at peace, responding to her request in freedom and peace. Like Jesus, she does not want us to operate out of fear, but out of love. And so she tells us “Do not be afraid. I am here. You are not alone.” In these days when there is such unrest in the world, we need to be her helpers who accept the Word of God and help others to comprehend the meaning of their lives along side God’s Word. This is so important right now. There is a battle for souls that must be fought. And our weapon is love. As we bask in Easter Joy, may we comprehend that Our Lady needs us to be her apostles of love who spread the Word of God which will draw many hearts to the Lord! And she is with us!!! Blessed Easter!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024 PS. Today is Day 4 of the Divine Mercy Novena! Pray it with us on Mary TV, on the Hour of Mercy. https://marytv.tv/hour-of-mercy/

We rejoice in His Victory! Our Lady gave us these words which will help us to live in the joy and light of the Resurrection of her Son: April 25, 2018  “Dear children! Today I am calling you to live your new life with Jesus. May the Risen One give you strength to always be strong in the trials of life and to be faithful and persevering in prayer; because Jesus saved you by His wounds and by His Resurrection gave you new life. Pray, little children, and do not lose hope. May joy and peace be in your hearts and witness the joy that you are mine. I am with you and love you all with my motherly love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024 PS. We at Mary TV pray that you will be filled with the graces of the Resurrection of Jesus!! May you find new power for a new life in the graces of Jesus’ saving Death and Resurrection! May you be healed and raised up in Christ! Amen!  

Good Friday   March 29, 2024 Good Friday Dear Family of Mary! On this solemn day, Good Friday, we have ample time to pray. This day is set aside to contemplate the death of Jesus on the Cross. We adore you, O Christ, and we bless You, because by Your Holy Cross, You have redeemed the world…. I would like to present five messages from Our Lady, in which she calls us to contemplate the Cross of her Son. We could read one for each decade of the Sorrowful Mysteries in our Rosary, as a meditation. I feel Our Lady’s words to us carry a great grace, and are profitable for such mediation. Let’s ask Mother Mary to walk us through this sorrowful day, encouraging us and strengthening us. May we be faithful to her Son, Jesus, as He carries dies upon the Cross for our sins, and the sins of the whole world. Five messages for the Sorrowful Mysteries: February 25, 2016 “Dear children! In this time of grace, I am calling all of you to conversion. Little children, you love little and pray even less. You are lost and do not know what your goal is. Take the cross, look at Jesus and follow Him. He gives Himself to you to the death on the cross, because He loves you. Little children, I am calling you: return to prayer with the heart so as to find hope and the meaning of your existence, in prayer. I am with you and am praying for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May 2, 2012 “Dear children! With motherly love I implore you to give me your hands, permit me to lead you. I, as a mother, desire to save you from restlessness, despair and eternal exile. My Son, by His death on the Cross, showed how much He loves you; He sacrificed Himself for your sake and the sake of your sins. Do not keep rejecting His sacrifice and do not keep renewing His sufferings with your sins. Do not keep shutting the doors of Heaven to yourselves. My children, do not waste time. Nothing is more important than unity in my Son. I will help you because the Heavenly Father is sending me so that, together, we can show the way of grace and salvation to all those who do not know Him. Do not be hard hearted. Have confidence in me and adore my Son. My children, you cannot be without the shepherds. May they be in your prayers every day. Thank you.” March 25, 1997 “Dear children! Today, in a special way, I invite you to take the cross in the hands and to meditate on the wounds of Jesus. Ask of Jesus to heal your wounds, which you, dear children, during your life sustained because of your sins or the sins of your parents. Only in this way, dear children, you will understand that the world is in need of healing of faith in God the Creator. By Jesus’ passion and death on the cross, you will understand that only through prayer you, too, can become true apostles of faith; when, in simplicity and prayer, you live faith which is a gift. Thank you for having responded to my call.” March 25, 2013 “Dear children! In this time of grace I call you to take the cross of my beloved Son Jesus in your hands and to meditate on His passion and death. May your suffering be united in His suffering and love will win, because He who is love gave Himself out of love to save each of you. Pray, pray, pray until love and peace begin to reign in your hearts. Thank you for having responded to my call.” July 25, 2020 “Dear children! In this peaceless time in which the devil is harvesting souls to draw them to himself, I am calling you to persevering prayer, so that in prayer you discover the God of love and hope. Little children, take the Cross in your hands. May it be your encouragement for love to always win, in a special way now when the Cross and faith are rejected. You be a reflection and an example with your lives that faith and hope are still alive and a new world of peace is possible. I am with you and intercede for you before my Son, Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.” We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You, for by Your Holy Cross, You have redeemed the world… In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Holy Thursday   March 28, 2024 Holy Thursday Dear Family of Mary! Today we begin the Holy Triduum. We walk with Jesus through his Passion and Death, staying close to Him and compassionating with Him. We want to stay by His side. The Gospel today remembers the washing of the Apostles feet. Jesus wanted to prepare them for His Passion, washing them from all that would keep them from staying with Him as He offered Himself to the Father for our sins. But we see that one of the twelve, Judas, was not able to surrender His treachery and greed and accept being cleaned by Jesus. We are aghast at his choice. But we must not think we are above him. We must be vigilant in cleaning our hearts. Here is the Gospel: A reading from the holy Gospel according to John 13:1-15 Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father. He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end. The ­devil had already induced Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over. So, during supper, ­fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God, he rose from supper and took off his outer garments. He took a towel and tied it around his waist. Then he poured ­water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and dry them with the towel around his waist. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Master, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand later.” Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus ­answered him, “Unless I wash you, you will have no ­inheritance with me.” Simon Peter said to him, “Master, then not only my feet, but my hands and head as well.” Jesus said to him, “Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed, for he is clean all over; so you are clean, but not all.” For he knew who would betray him; for this reason, he said, “Not all of you are clean.”  So when he had washed their feet and put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, “Do you realize what I have done for you? You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am. If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.”(Jn 13:1-15) Jesus, we long for you to wash our feet. We long for you to cleanse us of our sins. We long to release all our sins to You and become clean… Our Lady also comes to us to help us to be cleaned. This early message shows her great desire to help us to be purified and to adhere to her Son, Jesus: April 2, 2008 “Dear children, Also today as I am with you in the great love of God I desire to ask you: Are you also with me? Are your hearts open for me? Do you permit me with my love to purify and prepare them for my Son? My children, you have been chosen because, in your time, the great grace of God has descended on earth. Do not hesitate to accept it. Thank you.” Mother we permit you with your love to purify and prepare our hearts for your Son! Yes, Mother, help us to make good confessions and be made clean! Help us to be clean and ready for Jesus! Help us to accept the great grace of God! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

In this time of grace…   March 26, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Here again is the message of March 25, 2024! March 25, 2024 Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje Dear children! In this time of grace, pray with me for the good to win in you and around you. In a special way, little children, pray united with Jesus on His Way of the Cross. Into your prayers put this humanity which wanders without God and without His love. Be prayer, be light, and be witnesses to all those whom you meet, little children, so that the merciful God may have mercy toward you. Thank you for having responded to my call. There is much to say about this message! But since we are entering into the most solemn and powerful moment in the Church Year, I hesitate to talk too much. Let me just point out that Our Lady began her message with these words, “In this time of grace…” She signals to us that during this week of sorrows, there are many graces available to us. All the victories Jesus will win through his humility, obedience, courage, patience, long-suffering, and sacrifice will be our victories as well. He shares every bit of the grace He wins by His death with us, if only we follow Him, repent, and believe. May this time of grace be a time of salvation and victory for each one of us! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024
