Day: May 20, 2020

(c) Mary TV 2020 May 21, 2020 The Ascension of the Lord Dear Family of Mary! On this day we celebrate that incredible moment when Jesus ascended into Heaven! He had spent 40 days with the Apostles, confirming them in the truth of His Resurrection and commissioning them as His Apostles. But the time had come for Jesus to ascend into Heaven. He did it in plain sight, for all his disciples to see. It is for us a basic truth of our faith, something we declare that we believe whenever we pray the Creed. Jesus ascended to the Father, into heaven!! And it is for us a hope for our future. One day we will follow Him to our eternal homeland, body and soul, just like Him. Here is the account from Acts Chapter 1: So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Sama’ria and to the end of the earth.” And when he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” (Acts 1:6-11) We need to stay in touch with this incredible truth. Jesus ascended into Heaven. We will one day join Him. And Heaven needs to be our goal, our destiny, our hope and our heartfelt desire. Without this hope, we will not have the courage to persevere. Heaven is our home. We are on our way. Jesus has provided the way and Mary is with us now to help us on the journey. Here are five of Our Lady’s messages in which she points us to heaven, and to Jesus. We might pray the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary today, and read a message before each decade, to help us keep our focus on Heaven and our future! November 27, 1986 “Dear children! Again, today I call you to consecrate your life to me with love, so I am able to guide you with love. I love you, dear children, with a special love and I desire to bring you all to Heaven unto God. I want you to realize that this life lasts briefly compared to the one in Heaven. Therefore, dear children, decide again today for God. Only that way will I be able to show how much you are dear to me and how much I desire all to be saved and to be with me in Heaven. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May 25, 1987 “Dear children! I am calling every one of you to start living in God’s love. Dear children, you are ready to commit sin, and to put yourselves in the hand of satan without reflecting. I call on each one of you to consciously decide for God and against satan. I am your Mother and, therefore, I want to lead you all to perfect holiness. I want each one of you to be happy here on earth and to be with me in Heaven. That is, dear children, the purpose of my coming here and it’s my desire. Thank you for having responded to my call.” August 25, 1998 “Dear children! Today I invite you to come still closer to me through prayer. Little children, I am your mother, I love you and I desire that each of you be saved and thus be with me in Heaven. That is why, little children, pray, pray, pray until your life becomes prayer… Thank you for having responded to my call.” July 25, 2000 “Dear children! Do not forget that you are here on earth on the way to eternity and that your home is in Heaven. That is why, little children, be open to God’s love and leave egoism and sin. May your joy be only in discovering God in daily prayer. That is why, make good use of this time and pray, pray, pray; and God is near to you in prayer and through prayer. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May 25, 2018 “Dear children! In this peaceless time, I am calling you to have more trust in God who is your Father in Heaven and who has sent me to lead you to Him. You, open your hearts to the gifts which He desires to give you and, in the silence of your heart, Adore my Son Jesus who has given His life so that you may live in eternity – where He desires to lead you. May your hope be the joy of a meeting with the Most High in everyday life. Therefore, I am calling you: do not neglect prayer because prayer works miracles. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2020  

(c) Mary TV 2020 May 20, 2020 St. Bernardine of Sienna Dear Family of Mary! Mother Mary is with us. She is with us in Medjugorje, accompanying us on our way to heaven. As we continue to prepare for Pentecost, let’s listen to another message she has given us with her guidance for this time of battle for the Kingdom of God: August 25, 2000 “Dear children! I desire to share my joy with you. In my Immaculate Heart I feel that there are many of those who have drawn closer to me and are, in a special way, carrying the victory of my Immaculate Heart in their hearts by praying and converting. I desire to thank you and to inspire you to work even more for God and His kingdom with love and the power of the Holy Spirit. I am with you and I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Mother was excited to see that many of her children had drawn closer to her. Through prayer and conversion, her children were able to carry her victory in their hearts, the victory of her Immaculate Heart. This is very important. The victory of Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart is a victory over our terrible enemy, Satan. Her victory is bringing many souls into the Kingdom of God. It is the final battle for souls. Mario Mijatovic (Vicka’s husband!) shared about the importance of Mother Mary in his interview with Rosie in “Tea with Rosie”, episode 290. He spoke with such conviction! It was his personal experience that he spoke about. (I highly recommend that you watch this interview on our website, www.marytv.tv  because seeing Mario speak communicates much more than the words he spoke alone could communicate. He is filled with the Holy Spirit!) Mario shared with Rosie: Mario: Mother Mary, Mother Mary is calling us to have patience, which is a beautiful way to stay close to Her. We must stay close to Mother, not with our lips, not with our words – but with our heart. You know, with our heart. Speaking with Her about all your problems. Speak with Her, talk to Mother. Tell her everything. Ask Mother – she is doing something for us, she is sending her Son Jesus. Mother is doing this for us. This is most important. Because, when I speak today with my Mother, with Mother Mary, when I tell Her everything that is here [he points to his heart], then tomorrow somebody may ask me, “Who is your Mother?” I can tell him, “My Mother is the same mother – the Mother of Jesus Christ, Mother Mary.” Well, after this the man may ask me, “What did you speak about with Mother Mary today?” Then I can tell him, “I spoke this, this, this.” But when you speak to another person, and you ask him, “What did you speak about with Mother Mary? What did Mother Mary tell you today?” That person might frown like this… (frowning). Now, many people say this: “Mother Mary is my mother.” Excuse me? Who is this mother when you don’t speak with her? Who is your mother – (that you don’t speak with her)? This is important. Mother Mary is safe for us. A sure way for us. Mother Mary brings us to her Son Jesus. You know, this is important. Because when I go to find Jesus without Mary, I am not sure which Jesus I will find. Maybe some can find Jesus. But I find Him with Mother. I want to tell you all, this is most important, to stay close to the Mother Mary. Rosie: And She will guide you to Jesus. Mario: Mother Mary of Nazareth! Not Mother Mary of Medjugorje, of Lourdes, of Fatima…but of Nazareth! This same Mother Mary of Nazareth has been to Lourdes, has been to Fatima, is here for us [in Medjugorje]! Mario knows the Mother! He wants us all to understand that we need to be her children. We need to speak to her every day from our hearts, sharing everything with her, simply, like children. And we need to listen for her words, her guidance. This is how we will grow in holiness. This is how we will be ready for the coming of the Holy Spirit. This is how we will help her heart to triumph!! Be her children, truly her children. Thank you, Mario, for your witness. It brings us closer to our Mother, the Mother, Mary, our Mother. We pray together to the Holy Spirit: Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love. V. Send forth Thy Spirit and we shall be created. R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth. Let us pray. O God, Who by the light of the Holy Spirit didst instruct the hearts of thy faithful, grant by the same Spirit that we will be truly wise, and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2020
