July 11, 2018 Update from Denis

Our Tower at Mary TV’s station in Texas!   July 11, 2018 Dear Mary TV team: The tower at Mary TV’s station just went up 50 feet – at no cost to Mary TV! It’s now 90 feet tall! I can’t wait to tell you what’s happened! When Providence brought Fiber Optics to Mary TV’s studios in Medjugorje Tom Matasso couldn’t believe it. Mary TV had been at the mercy of that one little cell tower on the mountain – everyone with a phone in Medjugorje was at its mercy. I remember telling you that when he heard of the Fiber Optics being laid to our station in Medjugorje, Tom was so excited he could hardly contain himself! But we still had a problem. From Medjugorje our team streams to Mary TV’s station in rural Texas – and it’s from Texas that our Medjugorje programming goes out to the world. The problem is that the only internet available in our remote location in Texas is a satellite dish. From that station in Texas Mary TV’s Medjugorje internet TV channel broadcasts 24/7. And we’re streaming HD, broadcast quality! Now I’m the one who can hardly contain himself! Just last month a company in Texas decided to start laying Fiber Optics underground to Mary TV’s station in Texas, a distance of over 30 miles, at their own expense! And they’re giving Fiber Optics to Mary TV for free – in exchange for being allowed to put an Omni transmitter on Mary TV’s tower, which they just raised 50 feet (again, at no cost to Mary TV)! Its height is now 90 feet (see photo at top)! Fiber Optics is the best connection in the world! I believe Our Lady is able to pull off these miracles because of your faith – the faith and prayers of Mary TV’s shipmates! Tom always said you are the most important part of the team! …Mary TV is becoming a more and more trusted news source. The Papal Envoy’s April 5, 2017 Press Conference in Medjugorje didn’t escape notice by the world’s media (who weren’t present) because it was streamed Live by Mary TV! Also, when the President of Croatia, (who has been in the news recently because of Croatia’s Soccer team advancing in the World Cup) came to Medjugorje during the Summer of 2016, all requests by news media for interviews were turned down, except for one: the president said she was happy to give an interview to Mary TV! (see Tea with Rosie # 173). …We’re installing a “Continuous Solar Power System” in Medjugorje ….so we can stream Live from anywhere at any time direct to the Fiber Optics in our studio…. …We’ve also just set up a new radio internet connection system in Medjugorje that will allow us to do the same – connect to our Fiber Optics – from anywhere in the village…. …. We’re beginning to install a Search Function on the web page, so programs and topics can easily be located (it will take a little time to log the thousands of hours of programming Mary TV has archived) … …Today the web page was moved to a new, more powerful cluster of servers. Just wait and see! We expect everything to be fine-tuned in time for the Youth Festival! …Today a company from Zagreb started fixing the leak in the basement of our facility in Medjugorje…. constructed for Mary TV’s main studios, engineering rooms, control rooms, etc….. I’m told the job will take two weeks (so keep praying) …. We’ve been waiting 15 years to start using these facilities!!!! And it’s coming just in time! Satanists, occultists and witches are gathering during solar eclipses and waning crescent moons to cast spells, curses and incantations to protect the sacrament to Satan, abortion. July 27, 28, 2018 will see the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st Century. Our Lady tells us that it’s by keeping our gaze and hearts always directed towards heaven and eternity that we will be open to God and to His plans – we will be helping facilitate them. Mary TV is an important help to Our Lady’s family right now…a daily portal for Our Lady’s children around the world to keep their gaze and heart directed towards Heaven and eternity by staying connected to Medjugorje! “My Son promised me that evil will never win, because you, the souls of the just, are here!” Thank you for your continued financial support. It’s because of your generosity that we’re able to continue… Monthly donations are down…. Yes, your help is needed. (You can become a monthly donor on line at www.MarytV.tv ) We thank the Lord for you! Make your donations on line here! “Dear children! This is the day that the Lord gave me to give Him thanks for each of you…Rejoice, little children, because God is merciful and loves you all with His immeasurable love and leads you to the way of salvation through my coming here.” Our Mother’s June 25, 2018 message, the 37th Anniversary of her apparitions in Medjugorje! Thank you and God bless you, Denis Nolan Mary TV PS. Mary TV’s station has numerous back-up systems set in place, including energy by solar power in case the electricity was ever to fail.

Choose the Good – Part 5

(c)Mateo Ivankovic 2017   July 11, 2018 St. Benedict Dear Family of Mary! “…My children, you are given the freedom to choose, but, as a mother, I implore you to choose the freedom for the good…” (July 2, 2018) Our final virtue, and the most important of all is Charity (love)! As you can tell from the Catechism, love is the essence of God and our goal in life. All our actions must be motivated by and imbued with love. Because love is God and God is love. Charity 1822 Charity is the theological virtue by which we love God above all things for his own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God. 1823 Jesus makes charity the new commandment. (Jn 13:34) By loving his own “to the end,” (Jn 13:1) he makes manifest the Father’s love which he receives. By loving one another, the disciples imitate the love of Jesus which they themselves receive. Whence Jesus says: “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love.” and again: “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” (Jn 15:9) 1824 Fruit of the Spirit and fullness of the Law, charity keeps the commandments of God and his Christ: “Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love.” (Jn 15:9-10) 1825 Christ died out of love for us, while we were still “enemies.” (Rom 5:10) The Lord asks us to love as he does, even our enemies, to make ourselves the neighbor of those farthest away, and to love children and the poor as Christ himself. (Mt 5:44) The Apostle Paul has given an incomparable depiction of charity: “charity is patient and kind, charity is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Charity does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Charity bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” (1 Cor 13:4-7) 1826 “If I . . . have not charity,” says the Apostle, “I am nothing.” Whatever my privilege, service, or even virtue, “if I . . . have not charity, I gain nothing.” (1 Cor 13:1-). Charity is superior to all the virtues. It is the first of the theological virtues: “So faith, hope, charity abide, these three. But the greatest of these is charity.” (1 Cor 13:13) 1827 The practice of all the virtues is animated and inspired by charity, which “binds everything together in perfect harmony”; (1 Cor 13:13) it is the form of the virtues; it articulates and orders them among themselves; it is the source and the goal of their Christian practice. Charity upholds and purifies our human ability to love, and raises it to the supernatural perfection of divine love. 1828 The practice of the moral life animated by charity gives to the Christian the spiritual freedom of the children of God. He no longer stands before God as a slave, in servile fear, or as a mercenary looking for wages, but as a son responding to the love of him who “first loved us”: (Col 3:14) If we turn away from evil out of fear of punishment, we are in the position of slaves. If we pursue the enticement of wages, . . . we resemble mercenaries. Finally if we obey for the sake of the good itself and out of love for him who commands . . . we are in the position of children. (Jn 4:19) 1829 The fruits of charity are joy, peace, and mercy; charity demands beneficence and fraternal correction; it is benevolence; it fosters reciprocity and remains disinterested and generous; it is friendship and communion: Love is itself the fulfillment of all our works. There is the goal; that is why we run: we run toward it, and once we reach it, in it we shall find rest. http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P66.HTM Our Lady calls us to love in this message: “Dear children! Today I call you to love with all your heart and with all your soul. Pray for the gift of love, because when the soul loves it calls my Son to itself. My Son does not refuse those who call Him and who desire to live according to Him. Pray for those who do not comprehend love, who do not understand what it means to love. Pray that God may be their Father and not their Judge. My children, you be my apostles, be my river of love. I need you. Thank you.” (March 18, 2010) “Be my river of love.” Oh how much we want to respond to this call from Our Lady. May we become rivers of love, rivers of hope, and rivers of faith. May we become true Apostles of Our Lady! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2018
