Day: April 27, 2023

    Whoever eats this bread will live forever! April 28, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! First, let’s again prayerfully read the message of April 25, 2023: “Dear children! I am calling all of you to be carriers of the peace and joy of the risen Jesus for all those who are far from prayer; that the love of Jesus, through your lives, may transform them to a new life of conversion and holiness Thank you for having responded to my call.” Now let’s hear the Gospel for today with fresh ears. Jesus speaks of wonders!!: The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his Flesh to eat?” Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink his Blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my Flesh and drinks my Blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my Flesh is true food, and my Blood is true drink. Whoever eats my Flesh and drinks my Blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.” These things he said while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. (John 6:52-59) Jesus offers us life with Him in Heaven in this Gospel. No one understood His words at that moment. But all He said is true! And now we know the truth! When we receive the Eucharist, we receive the Body and Blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It is our salvation that we receive. Our Lady gave this powerful message, trying to teach us this truth anew: June 2, 2012 “Dear children, I am continuously among you because, with my endless love, I desire to show you the door of Heaven. I desire to tell you how it is opened: through goodness, mercy, love and peace – through my Son. Therefore, my children, do not waste time on vanities. Only knowledge of the love of my Son can save you. Through that salvific love and the Holy Spirit He chose me and I, together with Him, am choosing you to be apostles of His love and will. My children, great is the responsibility upon you. I desire that by your example you help sinners regain their sight, enrich their poor souls and bring them back into my embrace. Therefore, pray, pray, fast and confess regularly. If receiving my Son in the Eucharist is the center of your life then do not be afraid, you can do everything. I am with you. Every day I pray for the shepherds and I expect the same of you. Because, my children, without their guidance and strengthening through their blessing, you cannot do it. Thank you.” Mother, we say yes to your call. Show us the way to the Truth, your Son. Show us the way to the Eucharistic Presence of Jesus, so that we truly can do all you ask! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV  

    April 27, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! After Marija received the monthly message on April 25, she had a brief conversation with Fr. Livio! Our shipmate, Marina, has translated it for us, and I share it with you now. A conversation between Marija and Fr. Livio: Dear friends, we have now, live, Marija from Medjugorje reporting the message today the 25 April 2023. Hi Marija! Hello Father Livio! I greet all listeners of Radio Maria. Today, like every 25th of the month, Our Lady gave us the following message: “Dear children! I am calling all of you to be carriers of the peace and joy of the risen Jesus for all those who are far from prayer; that the love of Jesus, through your lives, may transform them to a new life of conversion and holiness. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Fr. Livio: Marija, I would like you to make a brief consideration of this beautiful message. Marija: It is a message of hope, of testimony, thank Heaven! It is a positive message, because Our Lady always from the beginning repeats to us that we are bearers of peace and joy of the Risen Jesus. She is calling us to be her extended hands to all who are far away. Therefore, She says: “Pray so the love of Jesus may transform you to a new life of conversion and holiness.” And I believe that we are all called to holiness. And we thank Heaven for this because in these days we are approaching the month of May dedicated in special way to Our Lady and through many pilgrims, especially Italians who have come to Medjugorje, pray more. And we feel Her presence even in a greater and special way. I think that each of us has a thousand opportunities to say: “Starting from this month I am converting, I will decide for holiness.” Fr. Livio: Marija, I would like to give you one more small testimony. Last month She gave us a message, let’s say short and very intense and also very serious. Today we can say that Our Lady was happier. Marija: Our Lady was happy, the 25th is always a day of intense prayer, celebration, joy of gratitude, of expectation. We have a friend who celebrated his twenty-fifth year of priesthood today and we are grateful to the Lord. We need to pray that He will grant us many priestly vocations! Then there was another friend, Italian, here with us these days, who had a priestly vocation in Medjugorje. He was ill, in a coma, almost died and miraculously recovered! A great joy for all of us and also a testimony that God does not abandon us. Tonight, in a special way, Our Lady wanted to tell us that She loves us, that She walks with us, that She has not forgotten us, that She is healing us, converting us, and calling us in a thousand ways toward her Son who is the Way, the Truth and the life. Thank you Marija for these beautiful words you said and now we conclude with the prayer:  In the name of the Father…. I love the wonderful perspective Marija has on the messages. She is the person Our Lady has chosen to receive her monthly messages and share them with us! She is a special link with Our Lady!! We are so grateful for her dedication and generosity! Let’s live this message! It is from Heaven!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV
