March 19, 2024 Reflection – The March 18, 2024 Message through Mirjana Soldo

Pilgrims support Mirjana in prayer as they await the message!   March 19, 2024 Feast of St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary Dear Family of Mary! Happy Feast of St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary! St. Joseph, pray for us!! I want to share with you the message from Our Lady that we received through Mirjana yesterday on her birthday. Here is what the parish posted about this apparition and message: The visionary Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo had daily apparitions from June 24th 1981 to December 25th 1982. During the last daily apparition, Our Lady gave her the 10th secret, and told her that she would appear to her once a year, on the 18th of March. It has been this way through the years. [Mirjana has also had apparitions with messages on the 2nd of the month from October 2, 2004 to March 2, 2020] The apparition lasted from 13:23 to 13:27. “Dear children, by the merciful love of God, I am with you. That is why, as a mother, I am calling you to believe in love — the love that is union with my Son. With love you help others to open their hearts to come to know my Son and to come to love Him. My children, love makes it for my Son to illuminate your hearts with His grace, to grow in you and to give you peace. My children, if you live love, if you live my Son, you will have peace and you will be happy. In love is victory. Thank you.” (March 18, 2024) Let’s receive this special message from Our Lady with open hearts. I believe it is a real gift for us to help us enter into Holy Week with our hearts prepared to receive the sacrificial love of Jesus for us. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

March 18, 2023 Reflection – Mirjana Soldo’s Yearly Apparition

Mirjana Soldo’s Yearly Appariton is today!   March 18, 2024 St. Cyril of Jerusalem Dear Family of Mary! Today is Mirjana Soldo’s birthday! Happy And Blessed Birthday, Mirjana! And it is the day that Our Lady appears to her once a year! It is a very moving moment for Mirjana. Let’s pray for her as she awaits this encounter with Our Lady! Our Lady usually comes on this day at about 1:40 pm to Mirjana, in her home. Many friends and pilgrims gather at the Blue Cross at that time to pray the Rosary in anticipation of Our Lady’s apparition to Mirjana. It is very moving to pray with them. Mary TV will stream, live, on our channel, this prayer at the Blue Cross starting at 12:00pm Medjugorje time and ending at about 2:15pm. Join us in honoring and waiting for Our Lady’s visit to Mirjana! As we await this moment, here is the message that Our Lady gave to Mirjana last year on this day: Mirjana Soldo’s Apparition on March 18, 2023 The visionary Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo had daily apparitions from June 24th 1981 to December 25th 1982. During the last daily apparition, Our Lady gave her the 10th secret, and told her that she would appear to her once a year, on the 18th of March. It has been this way through the years. The apparition lasted from 13:33 to 13:39. ”Dear children, I am calling you, through prayer and mercy, to come to know my Son all the better; to learn to listen with a pure and open heart; to listen to what my Son is saying to you in order to come to see spiritually. That, as one people of God in communion with my Son, you may bear witness to the truth with your life. Pray, my children, that, together with my Son, you can bring only peace, joy and love to all your brothers and sisters. I am with you and am blessing you with a motherly blessing.” (March 18, 2023) Our Lady’s advice is always so deep and yet simple. May we always respond to her call!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

March 15, 2024 Reflection – Dear Children, decide daily for holiness!

Dear children, decide daily for holiness! March 15, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady has a little pep talk for us, as we face the last week of Lent and then Holy Week!! Don’t give up now!!! March 25, 2007 “Dear children! I desire to thank you from my heart for your Lenten renunciations. I desire to inspire you to continue to live fasting with an open heart. By fasting and renunciation, little children, you will be stronger in faith. In God you will find true peace through daily prayer. I am with you and I am not tired. I desire to take you all with me to Heaven, therefore, decide daily for holiness. Thank you for having responded to my call. Be encouraged! We are close to the end of this holy time. It is bearing great fruit! May Our Lady guide us gently towards Holy Week, when we will follow Jesus through His Passion and Death. May we stay close to our Savior, and compassionate with Him. God bless you all!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024  

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!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024 P.S. Don’t forget to watch the update video for the new studio! Please share it with others!! https://marytv.tv/800club/  

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!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024 P.S. Don’t forget to watch the update video for the new studio! Please share it with others!! https://marytv.tv/800club/  

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
