April 30, 2026 Reflection- “I am praying for you and encourage you to a new life…
“I am praying for you and encourage you to a new life…” April 30, 2026 St. Pius V Dear Family of Mary! The April 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace “Dear children, I am praying for you and encourage you to a new life, a life in joy and prayer. May the Holy Spirit fill you, little children, with joy so that you may be like a spring of pure and drinkable water; that you, little children, may be, in God and with God, missionaries of love and peace. Your life is short here on earth and that is why I am with you to lead you towards Heaven. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With ecclesiastical approval) “I am praying for you and encourage you to a new life, a life in joy and prayer….” Our Lady speaks to us of “a new life”! She wants us to enter into that new life! But we may wonder, what is that new life? How do we find it? What does it look like? Fair enough questions. But She gives us a clue, “a life in joy and prayer.” This new life is a gift from God, that is clear. And it is discovered as we embrace prayer and receive the joy that God has for us. To help us in this transition, we can read some of Our Lady’s previous messages about a new life. Here are three to begin with. Take time today with these messages. They will help to move us toward that new life. January 25, 1987 The first apparition of the 25th of the month, given to Marija, for the parish: “Today I want to appeal to all of you to start living a new life from this day on. Dear children, I wish that you would understand that God has chosen each one of you to have a part in the great plan for the salvation of mankind. You cannot fully understand how great your role is in God’s design. For that reason, pray, dear children, so that through prayer, you may be able to know your role in God’s plan. I am with you, so that you may be able to realize it fully.” Clearly, the new life we are offered will be part of a large plan that God has designed for the salvation of mankind. Wow! No small plan indeed. And we are called to be a part of it!!! This is a serious call! October 25, 1992 “Dear children! I invite you to prayer now when satan is strong and wishes to make as many souls as possible his own. Pray, dear children, and have more trust in me because I am here in order to help you and to guide you on a new path toward a new life. Therefore, dear little children, listen and live what I tell you because it is important for you when I shall not be with you any longer that you remember my words and all that I told you. I call you to begin to change your life from the beginning and that you decide for conversion not with words but with your life… Thank you for having responded to my call.” This message puts our new life in the context of the spiritual warfare that surrounds us. Our new life will grow in the midst of battle. We are being led by Our Lady who is the Commander General of God’s army. We are a part of that army! November 25, 1992 “Dear Children! Today, more than ever, I am calling you to pray. May your life become a continuous prayer. Without love you cannot pray. That is why I am calling you to love God, the Creator of your lives, above everything else. Then you will come to know God and will love Him in everything as He loves you. Dear children, it is a grace that I am with you. That is why you should accept and live my messages for your own good. I love you and that is why I am with you, in order to teach you and to lead you to a new life of conversion and renunciation. Only in this way will you discover God and all that which now seems so far away from you. Therefore, my dear children, pray. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In this message she tells us: “I love you and that is why I am with you, in order to teach you and to lead you to a new life of conversion and renunciation.” This new life will be characterized by love for God which is a response to His love for us. Our Lady wants us to “love God, the Creator of your lives, above everything else!” We are so blessed to have Mother Mary with us in these days to guide us into that new life of God. Don’t worry, she will carry us into that life as a mother carries her infant, because she is our Mother… God bless us all! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S.
