As we await Our Lady’s message!
(c)Mateo Ivankovic 2016 JMJ September 2, 2016 First Friday Dear Family of Mary! Today Our Lady comes to Mirjana with a message of peace for us. As we await her words to us, let’s open our hearts to her last message on August 2. We are the most blessed of children to have such a Mother!! August 2, 2016 “Dear children, I have come to you, among you, for you to give me your concerns so that I may offer them to my Son; that I may intercede for you before Him for your good. I know that each of you has his concerns, his trials. Therefore I am inviting you in a motherly way: come to the table of my Son. He is breaking bread for you; He is giving Himself to you; He is giving you hope; He is asking for more faith, hope and serenity from you. He is seeking of you to battle within against egoism, judgement and human weaknesses. Therefore, as a mother, I am saying: pray; because prayer gives you strength for the interior battle. My Son, when He was little, often said to me that there will be many who will love me and call me ‘mother’. Among you, I feel love. Thank you. For the sake of that love I am imploring my Son that none of you, my children, will return home the same as he came; that you may take with you all the more hope, mercy and love; that you may be my apostles of love who will witness with their lives that the Heavenly Father is the source of life and not of death. Dear children, anew, in a motherly way I am imploring you, pray for the chosen ones of my Son, for their blessed hands – for your shepherds – that they may preach my Son with all the more love and in this way bring about conversions. Thank you.” It is a comfort to know that Our Lady desires to take our concerns to herself, and to pray for us in our trials. When she comes to Mirjana, we can give them to her again! I will send out the message as soon as I get it, and of course we will post the video of the apparition asap!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2016 PS.

I feel that Mother’s intercession will be very powerful for us on her canonization day. Let’s prepare our hearts for that day by asking for her intercession and thanking her for her great fidelity to God’s plan for her life. She is a true hero for us all! Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, you allowed the thirsting love of Jesus on the Cross to become a living flame within you, and so became the light of His love to all. Obtain from the Heart of Jesus (here make your request). Teach me to allow Jesus to penetrate and possess my whole being so completely that my life, too, may radiate His light and love to others. Amen. Immaculate Heart of Mary, Cause of Our Joy, pray for me. Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, pray for me. (Text © Missionaries of Charity Image Courtesy of Father Woody and Regis University)
