May 1, 2024 Reflection – “I am with you … to encourage you to prayer!!!

St. Joseph the Worker   May 1, 2024 St. Joseph the Worker Dear Family of Mary! Today, we honor St. Joseph, the Husband of Mary and Foster-Father of Jesus. St. Joseph was totally dependable. That is what God the Father needed. A man who would never wander from the side of Mary and never let Jesus out of his sight for long! (Exception, the Finding in the Temple!) I guess Joseph had his work cut out for him!!! St. Joseph, pray for us!! Now back to the message of April 25: “Dear children! I am with you to tell you that I love you and to encourage you to prayer; because Satan is strong and every day his strength is stronger through those who have chosen death and hatred. You, little children, be prayer and my extended hands of love for all those who are in darkness and seek the light of our God. Thank you for having responded to my call.” ( April 25, 2024 ) “I am with you… to encourage you to prayer;” Our Lady has been encouraging us to prayer ever since she began to appear in Medjugorje. Prayer is the foundation of our life of faith. And so Mother Mary is constantly calling us back to square one…prayer. But in this message there is a special reason that she is encouraging us to prayer: “…because Satan is strong and every day his strength is stronger through those who have chosen death and hatred.” This warning is chilling. We all know that the enemy has been working overtime on a plan for our destruction. But Our Lady tells us that his strategy is working. The strategy is to lure more and more people onto his way of death and hatred. And it seems he has been very successful, because Our Lady tells us that Satan is growing in strength because of those who have chosen death and hatred. He is forming a huge army of souls who are not unwitting in their choice of evil. No they have chosen death and hatred. Though we cannot assume they will be damned, it is clear that they are on the road to damnation. And the possession of these souls fuels the enemy’s program of destruction. Our Lady is warning us of the seriousness of this moment in salvation history. She needs our prayer- strong, determined, holy, selfless, and loving prayer. She needs us to pray with more fervor, determination, and self-denial. She needs us most of all to pray with complete love for God and for the good!! I believe this is just the moment that the Rosary was made for! The Rosary is our weapon against all evil. The Rosary can deliver souls from the clutches of Satan, and change the course of history. Yesterday we celebrated Saint Pope Pius V, who with the Rosary in hand, defeated the Turkish invasion of Europe. The Rosary has conquered before, and it can conquer again. Let’s pray our Rosaries with hearts on fire with love for the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit! Let’s pray the Rosary with our hearts united to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, with love and trust in the Trinity. This is our hour! More tomorrow!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

April 30, 2024 Reflection – I love you…

I love you…   April 30, 2024 St. Pius V Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady began her message of April 25, 2024 with these words: Dear children! I am with you to tell you that I love you and to encourage you to prayer; Mother constantly wants us to know that she loves us! Each one of us! This is her motivation for coming to us in Medjugorje. It is her motivation for everything towards us! She loves us! I have gathered some of her messages in which she tells us of her love for us. It is healing just to say them to ourselves. Mother Mary’s love is like no other!!! “Pray and fast! Know that I love you. I hold all of you on my knees.” Februay 26, 1984 “…do not be afraid because I love you even then when you are far from me and my Son….” May 24, 1984 “I beseech you, dear children, to start loving from today with an ardent love, the love with which I love you.” May 29, 1986 “You know, dear children, that I love you immeasurably and daily I pray the Lord to help you to understand the love which I am showing you.” August 21, 1986 “I love you, dear children, with a special love and I desire to bring you all to Heaven unto God…” November 27, 1986 “I love you, dear children, and so not even counting the number of times, I go on calling you.” June 25, 1987 “You know that I love you and am coming here out of love so I could show you the path to peace and salvation for your souls.” February 25, 1988 “Dear children, I love you and I desire to bring all of you to the peace which only God gives and which enriches every heart.” July 25, 1990 “I love you and that is why I am with you,” November 25, 1992 “I love you, little children, and I invite all of your to come closer to me by means of prayer.” December 25, 1993 “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.” August 25, 1998 “Little children, do not forget that I love you with a tender love.” February 25, 2005 “I intercede for you and I love you, little children, with an endless love.” August 25, 2015 “I love you all and give you my Son that He may give you peace.” June 25, 2013 We are the most blessed of children to have such a Mother! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024
