July 27, 2023 Reflection – By your life bear witness for God’s joy
The 34th Youth Festival in Medjugorje is underway! July 27, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! The Youth Festival in Medjugorje is underway! This is the first full day!! Already I am filled with joy!! Our Lady wants us to be filled with joy! This festival is a huge source of her joy!! Here is a message from Our Lady that I think summarizes the great graces of the Youth Festival: May 25, 1988 “Dear children! I am inviting you to a complete surrender to God. Pray, little children, that satan may not carry you about like the branches in the wind. Be strong in God. I desire that through you the whole world may get to know the God of joy. By your life bear witness for God’s joy. Do not be anxious nor worried. God himself will help you and show you the way. I desire that you love all men with my love. Only in that way can love reign over the world. Little children, you are mine. I love you and want you to surrender to me so that I can lead you to God. Never cease praying so that satan cannot take advantage of you. Pray for the knowledge that you are mine. I bless you with blessings of joy. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Wow! May we be filled with the joy of our Mother! This is a gift we can give to others! Thank you, dearest Mother, for the Youth Festival!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S. You can watch every moment of the Youth Festival on Mary TV!!! Join us!!!
