January 2, 2024 Reflection – Three Hours with Our Lady on Apparition Hill
Three Hours with Our Lady on Apparition Hill! January 2, 2024 Sts. Basil the Great and Gregory Nazianzen Dear Family of Mary On Sunday, December 31, after her daily apparition, Maria told us that Our Lady invited everyone to climb Apparition Hill at 3:00 pm the next day to pray for three hours for Our Lady’s intentions and to welcome her when she came for Marija’s daily apparition. Word spread like wild fire throughout Medjugorje! And at 3:00 pm on New Year’s Day, Apparition Hill was covered with pilgrims and parishioners from Medjugorje! It was breathtaking!! But the best news for all of us who were not in Medjugorje was that Marija allowed Mary TV to stream the entire event! I am told there were viewers from all over the world connected through Mary TV. Mary TV had three cameras ready to capture the entire prayer time for all of us who were not in Medjugorje! It seemed that we were actually there. And we had the best seat of all!! The prayer consisted of all 4 sets of mysteries of the Rosary! And between the decades, we sang beautiful and joyful music together. Three hours went by in a flash! We were carried along in our prayer by Our Lady, who was truly present. You could feel her joy even through the internet. But the event was not easy. It rained for the first 2 and 1/2 hours, though the weather report had not predicted rain. It rained very hard. Everyone was soaked by the end. But when it was time for Our Lady to appear, the rain subsided. Our Lady came as usual, at 5:40 pm. And we could view Marija as she encountered Our Lady. Marija was radiant and at peace! After Our Lady departed Marija described their encounter: During the moment of the apparition, Our Lady came joyfully! She prayed over us!. And at the end, she said, “Thank you for having responded to my call and for praying for my intentions. You will not regret it, neither you, nor your children, nor your children’s children.” And she blessed us all.” (January 1, 2024 Marija) I could feel the blessing from Our Lady even from so far away! It was a joyous and hope-filled time of prayer with such a wonderful gift at the end. Our Lady came!!! And she blessed us!! And she thanked us!!! And she told us that the grace we received would not only be for us, but for our children and our grandchildren! Imagine that!!! The entire three hours of prayer are recorded and available on Mary TV’s website at this link: https://marytv.tv/marijas-apparitions/?smid=O7FLA2sDOqn&slid=9D8LTQ8sm0U What a wonderful way to begin the New Year!! Three hours of prayer with Our Lady!! With Our Lady, 2024 is going to be a beautiful surprise! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024
