Love the Lord your God! March 12, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! (Please see the PS. section at the bottom of this email for information on the recent attack on the Mary TV Website) Our Gospel for today is so beautiful! Jesus gives us the very heart of our faith. It is total love for the Lord our God which will help us in turn to love our neighbor! Mark 12:28-34 : One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?” Jesus replied: “The first is this: Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.” The scribe said to him, “Well said, teacher. You are right in saying, He is One and there is no other than he. And to love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” And when Jesus saw that he answered with understanding, he said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” And no one dared to ask him any more questions. Our Lady gave us this message, which echoes Jesus’ words so beautifully: 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.” Our Lady is with us to help us live the love of God above all else. She is by our side, guiding us into that love through our living of her messages. Thanks be to God!! St. Joseph, help us to love God above everything and live His commandments! Dear St. Joseph, foster father of us all, we love you!  You so faithfully stayed by the side of Mary when she gave Jesus to the world the first time. Help us now in our turn to stay faithfully by her side as she gives Him to us anew. Dear St. Joseph, you were always strong and resolute – in Bethlehem, in Egypt, and in Nazareth. You never wavered from the side of Mary. Help us to be strong and resolute and to never waver from her side. Dear St. Joseph, help us to be faithful to the call of Our Lady and to witness to her presence in these days. St. Joseph, pray for us!! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!

Lead us on the way of salvation! March 11, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! October 25, 2020“Dear children, At this time, I am calling you to return to God and to prayer. Invoke the help of all the saints, for them to be an example and a help to you. Satan is strong and is fighting to draw all the more hearts to himself. He wants war and hatred. That is why I am with you for this long, to lead you to the way of salvation, to Him who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Little children, return to the love for God and He will be your strength and refuge. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In the Gospel for today, Jesus expels demons. From Luke 11:14 : “Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute, and when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke and the crowds were amazed.” Our Lady has spoken often about the devil, pointing out that he wants war and hatred, that he is strong, that he is fighting to draw more hearts to himself. We know that the devil is our enemy. He wants to lead us away from Jesus. It should not surprise us. And it should give us great hope and joy to know that Our Lady has been sent by God to us in these days. She has been given the job of leading us to the way of salvation!! She leads us to Him who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life!!! She does this constantly through her presence in Medjugorje and her messages. She does it through her example and her teaching. Our Mother has come to lead us away from Satan – towards God!! Here are two prayers that we can pray to Our Lady for protection and deliverance from the devil: August Queen of Heaven August Queen of Heaven, sovereign Mistress of the Angels, who didst receive from the beginning the mission and the power to crush the serpent’s head, we beseech thee to send thy holy angels, that under thy command and by thy power, they may pursue the evil spirits, encounter them on every side, resist their bold attacks, and drive them hence into the abyss of woe. Most holy Mother, send thy angels to defend us and to drive the cruel enemy from us. All ye holy Angels and Archangels, help and defend us. Amen. O good and tender Mother! Thou shalt ever be our Love and our Hope. Holy Angels and Archangels, keep and defend us. Amen. The Angelus (which is an exorcism prayer): The Angel of the Lord declared to Mary And she conceived of the Holy Spirit. Hail Mary… Behold the handmaid of the Lord: Be it done unto me according to Thy word. Hail Mary… And the Word was made Flesh: And dwelt among us. Hail Mary… Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray: Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection, through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen. But remember it is by following Our Lady as she guides us towards Jesus that we will find our greatest protection. She knows the way. We can follow her in peace and find protection from all evil. St. Joseph, please help us to follow Our Lady to Jesus! Dear St. Joseph, foster father of us all, we love you! You so faithfully stayed by the side of Mary when she gave Jesus to the world the first time. Help us now in our turn to stay faithfully by her side in Medjugorje. “Dear children! Also in this difficult time God’s love sends me to you. My children, do not be afraid, I am with you. With complete trust give me your hearts, that I may help you to recognize the signs of the time in which you live. I will help you to come to know the love of my Son. I will triumph through you. Thank you.” (June 2, 2007) Dear St. Joseph, you were always strong and resolute – in Bethlehem, in Egypt, and in Nazareth. You never wavered from the side of Mary. Help us to be strong and resolute and to never waver from her side. Dear St. Joseph, help us to be faithful to the call of Our Lady and to witness to her presence in these days. St. Joseph, pray for us!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021  

A Prayer for healing! March 10, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! September 11, 1986 “Dear children! For these days while you are joyfully celebrating the Cross, I desire that your cross also would be a joy for you. Especially, dear children, pray that you may be able to accept sickness and suffering with love the way Jesus accepted them. Only that way shall I be able with joy to give out to you the graces and healings which Jesus is permitting me. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Today, as we fast, let us pray for healing from Jesus, using a prayer Fr. Slavko wrote: Prayer for Healing (For important moments in one’s life, but this prayer can even be prayed every day) Lord Jesus, You came for the sick and the sinners. That is why I turn to you and I pray that You heal my body and my soul. You know that sin devastates and destroys human beings and makes human relationships and the relationship with You impossible. But for You, there is no sin or sickness that You cannot drive away with Your all powerful Word. There is no wound that You cannot heal. Mary, You called me to pray for healing. I would like to do that now. That is why I pray to you: accompany my prayer with your faith! Pray now with me so that I become worthy to receive the Grace of God, for myself and for those close to me who are sick and weak. Come Lord! “Then he got into the boat followed by his disciples. Suddenly a storm broke over the lake, so violent that the boat was being swamped by the waves. But he was asleep. So they went to him and woke him saying, ‘Save us Lord, we are lost!’ And he said to them, ‘Why are you so frightened, you have so little faith?’ And then he stood up and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. They were astounded and said, ‘What ever kind of man is this that even the winds and the sea obey him?’” Lord Jesus, You entered into the storms of this world. You have gotten into the boat of every life. You are here, because Your name is Emanuel, God with us, God for us. That is why I say to You now: come into my life! The boat of my life is also swamped by the waves. Enter into my unrest and agitation! Enter into my conscience and sub-conscience! Enter, my Jesus, into the depths of my being! I’m drowning! Order my unrest to become calm, order the waves of death encircling me to stop threatening me. Say a work, so that my heart is soothed, so that it hears Your word, the Word of God, which makes everything new again. (Remain in silence) Come, Lord Jesus, get into the boat of my family and into the boat of all people. May our cries awaken You. Stretch out You hand so that a profound silence is established. Come Lord Jesus, come! Come to that place where I am the most wounded. Lord Jesus, get into every boat of life which is not moving forward because it is blocked by bad habits, by drugs, by alcohol or physical pleasures. Lord Jesus, calm the storm! Make everyone hear Your voice which brings Peace. Decision Lord Jesus, You are sitting in the boat of my life. You are my God. I adore You, I glorify You, because You alone are holy. You alone are the Lord. I believe in You and in trusting You, I hand everything over to You. I decide for Your Love and mercy. I say, with You and Your Mother; may Your will be done in health and sickness, and in success and failure, in joy and sadness, in the present and in eternity.Lord Jesus, I was uncertain, I did not always seek the good, I affirmed my will, and I was wounded. Heal me of my unbelief and of the resistance that I feel each time I don’t understand the Will of the Father. Mary, give me the grace to decide once and for all. Help me so that I don’t go back on my word and that I remain ever faithful. I renounce… Lord Jesus, I renounce all sin. I renounce satan, his power, his lies, and his promises. I renounce all idols and their spiritual bondage. I renounce each refusal to reconciliation, each hate and arrogance in life. I renounce all desires which have tried to make me forget the Will of the Father. I renounce spiritual diseases and negligence so that You, Lord Jesus can come into my life. Mother Mary, help me to crush the head of satan in my life. Prayer for love “You have heard how it was said, You will love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say this to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you so that you may be children of your Father in heaven.” Lord Jesus, You called us to love…I admit that my love is weak. Heal me from the wounds that sin, especially the lack of love, has caused in me and which now prevent me from loving You more that anything else. Heal my heart of the painful legacy which I brought into this world because of the sins of the world. Heal my soul of all of the burdens which have accumulated during my childhood and youth. May the fire of love, inflamed by the grace of healing, drive away from me all darkness, and stamp out sin. Make my love perfect, so that I can love everyone with all of my heart, even those who have angered me. Because too often, my Jesus, when I have to forgive the wrong done to me by others, I know that my love is very weak. Forgive my envy and jealousy which I have afflicted on my neighbors and on myself! Heal my faith in You as well! May the grace of trust eliminate all mistrust and every source of fear. Heal me because in words, thoughts, and actions I am often an unbeliever. Lord Jesus, heal the love in my family also, so that it is like Your Holy Family. Heal the love between spouses, between children and their parents, between the healthy and sick members. Lord Jesus, heal the love in all humanity! (Remain in silence. Pray silently for the grace of love for every person you don’t love at the present moment and have not yet forgiven.) (From “Medjugorje and Father Slavko Barbaric.” Les Editions Sakramento 2016) Every day is a day to be healed!! Don’t forget St. Joseph!! Dear St. Joseph, foster father of us all, we love you! You so faithfully stayed by the side of Mary when she gave Jesus to the world the first time. Help us now in our turn to stay faithfully by her side as she gives Him to us anew.. Dear St. Joseph, you were always strong and resolute – in Bethlehem, in Egypt, and in Nazareth. You never wavered from the side of Mary. Help us to be strong and resolute and to never waver from her side. Dear St. Joseph, help us to be faithful to the call of Our Lady and to witness to her presence in these days. St. Joseph, pray for us!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

How often must we forgive? March 9, 2021 St. Frances of Rome Dear Family of Mary! In the beginning of our Gospel for today Peter asks Jesus a question: “Peter approached Jesus and asked him, ‘Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?’ Jesus answered, ‘I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times…’ ” (Matthew 18:21-22) Jesus’ answer is meant to show that there really is no end to forgiveness. We must forgive and forgive and forgive. To forgive is to love, to love even as God loves. It shows how far we will go to repair our relationships with one another, even as God wishes to repair our relationship with Him. Our Lady has stressed the importance of forgiveness in her messages. Here are five messages that we could meditate upon today, perhaps during our family Rosary. Her words are encouraging but serious! Forgiveness is a work of love! January 25, 2015 “Dear children! Also today I call you: live your vocation in prayer. Now, as never before, Satan wants to suffocate man and his soul by his contagious wind of hatred and unrest. In many hearts there is no joy because there is no God or prayer. Hatred and war are growing from day to day. I am calling you, little children, begin anew, with enthusiasm, the walk of holiness and love; since I have come among you because of this. Together let us be love and forgiveness for all those who know and want to love only with a human love and not with that immeasurable love of God to which God calls you. Little children, may hope in a better tomorrow always be in your heart. Thank you for having responded to my call.” January 25, 2020 “Dear children! Today I am calling you to pray even more, until you feel the holiness of forgiveness in your heart. There must be holiness in the families, little children, because there is no future for the world without love and holiness – because in holiness and joy, you give yourselves to God the Creator who loves you with immeasurable love. This is why He sends me to you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” July 2, 2009 “Dear children! I am calling you because I need you. I need hearts ready for immeasurable love. Hearts that are not burdened by vanity. Hearts that are ready to love as my Son loved, that are ready to sacrifice themselves as my Son sacrificed Himself. I need you. In order to come with me, forgive yourselves, forgive others and adore my Son. Adore Him also for those who have not come to know Him, those who do not love Him… Therefore, I need you. Therefore, I call you. Thank you.” January 2, 2010 “Dear children, Today I am calling you to, with complete trust and love, set out with me because I desire to acquaint you with my Son. Do not be afraid, my children, I am here with you; I am next to you. I am showing you the way to forgive yourselves, to forgive others, and, with sincere repentance of heart, to kneel before the Father. Make everything die in you that hinders you from loving and saving, that you may be with Him and in Him. Decide for a new beginning, a beginning of sincere love of God Himself. Thank you.” September 2, 2010 “Dear children; I am beside you because I desire to help you to overcome trials, which this time of purification puts before you. My children, one of those is not to forgive, and not to ask for forgiveness. Every sin offends love and distances you from it and love is my Son. Therefore, my children, if you desire to walk with me towards the peace of God’s love, you must learn to forgive and to ask for forgiveness. Thank you.” Dear St. Joseph, please pray for us that we might forgive all those who have harmed us and also to forgive ourselves. May we be people of mercy like our Lord Jesus and our Mother Mary! Dear St. Joseph, foster father of us all, we love you! You so faithfully stayed by the side of Mary when she gave Jesus to the world. Help us now in our turn stay faithfully by her side as she gives Him to us anew… She told us in this message: “Dear children! Today I call you to pray and fast for my intentions, because Satan wants to destroy my plan. Here I began with this parish and invited the entire world. Many have responded, but there is an enormous number of those who do not want to hear or accept my call. Therefore, you who have said ‘yes’, be strong and resolute. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (August 25, 2011) Dear St. Joseph, you were always strong and resolute – in Bethlehem, in Egypt, and in Nazareth. You never wavered from the side of Mary. Help us to be strong and resolute and to never waver from her side. “My children, be my apostles who have not lived in vain. Do not forget that you will come before the Heavenly Father and tell Him about yourself. Be ready!” (April 2, 2013) Dear St. Joseph, help us to be faithful to the call of Our Lady and to witness to her presence in these days. St. Joseph, pray for us!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
