May 14, 2025 Reflection – “This I command you: love one another.”

“This I command you: love one another.”   May 14, 2025 St. Matthias Dear Family of Mary! Our Gospel today: John 15:9-17 Jesus said to his disciples: “As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete. This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father. It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. This I command you: love one another.” This is the heart of Jesus’ teachings, the very center of His Being! Love. How is it that we stray from this teaching so easily? Maybe it is because it is difficult. To love means to die to self. Our Lady has called us to love, speaking to us with Her Immaculate Heart of Love. Pray the Rosary today with these messages together with our Gospel. May it bring us closer to the Loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary: December 13, 1984 “Dear children! You know that the season of joy is getting closer, but without love you will achieve nothing. So first of all, begin to love your own family, everyone in the parish, and then you’ll be able to love and accept all who are coming over here. Now let these seven days be a week when you need to learn to love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” March 27, 1986 “Dear children! I wish to thank you for all the sacrifices and I invite you to the greatest sacrifice, the sacrifice of love. Without love, you are not able to accept neither me nor my Son. Without love, you cannot give an account of your experiences to others. Therefore, dear children, I call you to begin to live love within yourselves. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May 29, 1986 “Dear children! Today my call to you is that in your life you live love toward God and neighbor. Without love, dear children, you can do nothing. Therefore, dear children, I am calling you to live in mutual love. Only in that way will you be able to love and accept both me and all those around you who are coming into your parish. Everyone will sense my love through you. Therefore, I beseech you, dear children, to start loving from today with an ardent love, the love with which I love you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” April 25, 1995 “Dear children! Today I call you to love. Little children, without love you can neither live with God nor with brother. Therefore, I call all of you to open your hearts to the love of God that is so great and open to each one of you. God, out of love for man, has sent me among you to show you the path of salvation, the path of love. If you do not first love God, then you will neither be able to love neighbor nor the one you hate. Therefore, little children, pray and through prayer you will discover love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” November 25, 1995 “Dear Children! Today I invite you that each of you begin again to love, in the first place, God who saved and redeemed each of you, and then brothers and sisters in your proximity. Without love, little children, you cannot grow in holiness and cannot do good deeds. Therefore, little children, pray without ceasing that God reveals His love to you. I have invited all of you to unite yourselves with me and to love. Today I am with you and invite you to discover love in your hearts and in the families. For God to live in your hearts, you must love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S. Our building project is moving ahead!!

May 13, 2025 Reflection – The Secrets I began in Fatima…

The Secrets I began in Fatima…   May 13, 2025 Feast of Our Lady of Fatima Dear Family of Mary! Today is the optional memorial of Our Lady of Fatima! On May 13, 1917 Our Lady first appeared to the three children, Lucia dos Santos, and Jacinta and Francesco Marto, who lived in Fatima. They saw Our Lady on six occasions, from May 13, 1917 to October 13, 1917. Our Lady spoke to Jacinta, giving her a message each month. The accuracy of the events promised in the messages cannot be refuted. The children were steadfast witnesses to Our Lady’s presence! And they also witnessed with their lives. Many signs were given by Our Lady calling for peace and a return to prayer in the world. Our Lady has spoken of her coming in Fatima to the Medjugorje visionaries! Here is a famous message from 1991: August 25, 1991  “Dear Children! Today also I invite you to prayer, now as never before when my plan has begun to be realized. Satan is strong and wants to sweep away my plans of peace and joy and make you think that my Son is not strong in His decisions. Therefore, I call all of you, dear children, to pray and fast still more firmly. I invite you to self-renunciation for nine days so that, with your help, everything that I desire to realize through the secrets I began in Fatima, may be fulfilled. I call you, dear children, to now grasp the importance of my coming and the seriousness of the situation. I want to save all souls and present them to God. Therefore, let us pray that everything I have begun be fully realized. Thank you for having responded to my call.” There was a powerful response to this message to pray and fast so that the secrets that Our Lady began in Fatima could be realized! And on December 26, 1991 the Soviet Union collapsed. Our Lady had told Jacinta that Russia would spread her errors, and indeed, communism had ravaged the world. This collapse of the Soviet Union was due to Our Lady’s intervention in Fatima and Medjugorje! Thanks be to God! But Our Lady still is with us to free us from the godlessness of our age, and here is a message in which she asked us to help her once again: January 25, 2023  “Dear children! Pray with me for peace, because Satan wants war and hatred in hearts and peoples. Therefore, pray and sacrifice your days by fasting and penance, that God may give you peace. The future is at a crossroads, because modern man does not want God. That is why mankind is heading to perdition. You, little children, are my hope. Pray with me, that what I began in Fatima and here may be realized. Be prayer and witness peace in your surroundings, and be people of peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady has asked us to continue to pray and sacrifice for the Triumph of Her Immaculate Heart! The godlessness of our age continues to ravage humanity, but God has promised that in the end, the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph! In Fatima Our Lady announced the battle for Her triumph, and it continues now into the Twentieth Century, through Her presence in Medjugorje! We must carry Her Banner in our hearts, and pray with all our might, for Her Triumph in these days. After finishing each decade of the Rosary, we pray this prayer requested by the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima: O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell; lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of your mercy. She needs us to continue to pray for the Triumph of Good in our fallen world, and our devotion to Her call is essential! Pray, pray, pray, for the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S. Our building project is moving ahead!!
