May 15, 2025 Reflection – “I entrust this heartfelt appeal to the Queen of Peace…”
“I entrust this heartfelt appeal to the Queen of Peace…” May 15, 2025 St. Isadore Dear Family of Mary! I want to share a heart-felt plea from our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV! He spoke these words after the Regina Ceali on Sunday, May 11, 2025: “Dear brothers and sisters, The immense tragedy of the Second World War ended eighty years ago, on 8 May, after having claimed sixty million victims. In today’s dramatic scenario of a piecemeal third world war, as Pope Francis stated many times, I too address the world’s leaders, repeating the ever-timely appeal: “Never again war!”. “I carry in my heart the sufferings of the beloved Ukrainian people. May everything possible be done to reach an authentic, just and lasting peace, as soon as possible. Let all the prisoners be freed and the children return to their own families. “I am deeply saddened by what is happening in the Gaza Strip: may there be an immediate ceasefire! Let humanitarian aid be provided to the stricken civil population, and let all the hostages be freed. “On the other hand, I have welcomed with satisfaction the announcement of the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and I hope that through the upcoming negotiations, a lasting accord may be reached soon. “But how many other conflicts there are in the world! I entrust this heartfelt appeal to the Queen of Peace, so that she may present it to the Lord Jesus to obtain for us the miracle of peace.” https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/angelus/2025/documents/20250511-regina-caeli.html Certainly we cannot mistake his reference to our beloved Queen of Peace of Medjugorje! Our Lady once said to us: March 25, 1993 “Dear children! Today like never I call you to pray for peace, for peace in your hearts, peace in your families and peace in the whole world, because satan wants war, wants lack of peace, wants to destroy all which is good. Therefore, dear children, pray, pray, pray. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Let’s follow Our Lady and Our Holy Father in a serious prayer for peace in these days! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S. Our building project is moving ahead!! Thank you to all who are supporting Mary TV!!
