August 18, 2025 Reflection – Listen to my messages!

Listen to my messages! August 18, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady has been giving us messages from the very beginning of her apparitions in Medjugorje. These messages have been carefully written down and are archived on the Parish website. It is amazing that Our Lady has continued to give messages to us for 44 years and counting!! Medjugorje parish website: https://www.medjugorje.hr/en/ You can also find them on our webpage: https://marytv.tv/messages-from-our-lady/ She asks us to listen to her messages!! Many of us have been prayerfully listening to her messages for many years. I find that they never grow old. Her advice and council is always fresh and helpful. Here are five messages in which Our Lady asks us to “listen to my messages!” May we never stop listening to them!! March 21, 1985 “Dear children! I wish to keep on giving messages and therefore today I call you to live and accept my messages! Dear children, I love you and in a special way I have chosen this parish, one more dear to me than the others, in which I have gladly remained when the Almighty sent me. Therefore I call on you; accept me, dear children, that it might go well with you. Listen to my messages! Thank you for having responded to my call.” July 25, 1985 “Dear children! I desire to lead you, but you do not wish to listen to my messages. Today I am calling you to listen to the messages and then you will be able to live everything which God tells me to convey to you. Open yourselves to God and God will work through you and keep on giving you everything you need. Thank you for having responded to my call.” January 8, 1987 “Dear children! I desire to thank you for every response to the messages. Especially, dear children, thank you for all the sacrifices and prayers which you have presented to me. Dear children, I desire to keep on giving you still further messages, only not every Thursday, dear children, but on each 25th in the month. The time has come when what my Lord desired has been fulfilled. Now I will give you less messages, but I am still with you. Therefore, dear children, I beseech you, listen to my messages and live them, so I can guide you. Dear children, thank you for having responded to my call.” June 25, 2008 “Dear children! Also today, with great joy in my heart, I call you to follow me and to listen to my messages. Be joyful carriers of peace and love in this peaceless world. I am with you and I bless you all with my Son Jesus, the King of Peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” March 18, 2003 “Dear children! Particularly at this holy time of penance and prayer, I call you to make a choice. God gave you free will to choose life or death. Listen to my messages with the heart that you may become cognizant of what you are to do and how you will find the way to life. My children, without God you can do nothing; do not forget this even for a single moment. For, what are you and what will you be on earth, when you will return to it again. Do not anger God, but follow me to life. Thank you for being here.” Mother, we will listen to your messages with our hearts!! We would be nothing without God, and therefore we want to follow you to Him!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan Mary TV.TV www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/  

August 15, 2025 Reflection – The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary   August 15, 2025 The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Dear Family of Mary! Today we celebrate the incredible joy and wonder of Our Mother’s entrance into Heaven, Body and Soul!! She was assumed by the power of the Holy Spirit, and took her place in Heaven, before the Blessed Trinity! She who is so loved by God!!! But Our Mother has not remained aloof! She has come to us over the centuries to this day. And now, in a most incredible way, she is with us in Medjugorje!! She has spoken to us!!! Imagine!! Here is a message from 2016 through Mirjana. It is a message from Heaven, from our Mother in Heaven!! She mentions her Assumption!! February 2, 2016  “Dear children, I have called you and am calling you anew to come to know my Son, to come to know the truth. I am with you and am praying for you to succeed. My children, you must pray much in order to have all the more love and patience; to know how to endure sacrifice and to be poor in spirit. Through the Holy Spirit, my Son is always with you… His Church is born in every heart that comes to know Him. Pray that you can come to know my Son; pray that your soul may be one with Him. That is the prayer and the love which draws others and makes you my apostles. I am looking at you with love, with a motherly love. I know you; I know your pain and sorrows, because I also suffered in silence. My faith gave me love and hope. I repeat, the Resurrection of my Son and my Assumption into Heaven is hope and love for you. Therefore, my children, pray to come to know the truth; to have firm faith which will lead your heart and which will transform your pain and sufferings into love and hope. Thank you.” Indeed, Our Mother’s Assumption is a great sign of hope for her children!! One day, we will be with her there, where life never ends, and hope is fulfilled completely. Let us pray to our Mother, assumed into Heaven! Prayer to Mary, Assumed into Heaven O Immaculate Mary, Assumed into heaven, you who are most blessed in the vision of God: of God the Father who exalted you among all creatures, of God the Son who willed that you bear Him as your Son and that you should be His Mother, of God the Holy Spirit who accomplished the human conception of the Savior in you. O Mary, most pure, O Mary, most sweet and beautiful, O Mary, strong and thoughtful woman, O Mary, poor and sorrowful, O Mary, virgin and mother, woman very human like Eve, , more than Eve. You are near to God by your grace and by your privileges in your mysteries in your mission, in your glory. O Mary, assumed into the glory of Christ in the complete and transfigured perfection of our human nature. O Mary, gate of heaven mirror of divine light ark of the Covenant between God and mankind, let our souls fly after you let them fly along your radiant path, transported by a hope that the world does not contain- eternal beatitude. Comfort us from heaven, O merciful Mother, and guide us along your ways of purity and hope till the day of that blessed meeting with you and with your divine Son our Savior, Jesus. Amen! (Saint Paul VI) And here is why we are praying today: Amazingly, on this Feast of Our Mother’s Assumption, President Trump and Presiden Putin are going to meet in Alaska at 11:30 a.m. Alaska time (3:30 pm ET) to try to hammer out a peace agreement. This is no accident. Our Mother has arranged this meeting. She needs our prayers! Constant prayer is needed all day. Pray for these two men to be open to the Holy Spirit. Pray that they will listen in their hearts ot the prompting of Our Lady and her Spouse! There is a way to peace. She will show them! God will empower them. Let us pray, pray, pray!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan Mary TV.TV www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/  

August 14, 2025 Reflection – I desire to be your mother, your intercessor!

I desire to be your mother, your intercessor! August 14, 2025 St. Maximillian Kolbe Dear Family of Mary! St. Maximillian Kolbe truly understood the dire necessity of living our lives in deep consecration to Mary! He taught without cease the wonders and power of the Immaculata. He desired that everyone would make a consecration to Our Lady, giving their lives over into her hands. The night before he was taken to the concentration camp he kept his brothers up all night, trying to explain why this consecration was so important. On his feast day, I would like to share the consecration prayer he wrote. And I would like to share a message that Our Lady of Medjugorje gave to us, that echos perfectly his prayer. Here is the consecration prayer of St. Maximillian Kolbe: O Immaculata, Queen of Heaven and earth, refuge of sinners and our most loving Mother, God has willed to entrust the entire order of mercy to you. I, (name), a repentant sinner, cast myself at your feet, humbly imploring you to take me with all that I am and have, wholly to yourself as your possession and property. Please make of me, of all my powers of soul and body, of my whole life, death and eternity, whatever most pleases you. If it pleases you, use all that I am and have without reserve, wholly to accomplish what was said of you: “She will crush your head,” and “You alone have destroyed all heresies in the whole world.” Let me be a fit instrument in your immaculate and merciful hands for introducing and increasing your glory to the maximum in all the many strayed and indifferent souls, and thus help extend as far as possible the blessed kingdom of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. For wherever you enter you obtain the grace of conversion and growth in holiness, since it is through your hands that all graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. ℣. Allow me to praise you, O Sacred Virgin ℟. Give me strength against your enemies Amen Here is a message from Our Lady in which she offers the very things that St. Maximillian Kolbe desired!!! May her words go deeply into our hearts and bear fruit in us! March 18, 2018 “Dear children! I am coming among you because I desire to be your mother – your intercessor. I desire to be the bond between you and the Heavenly Father – your mediatrix. I desire to take you by the hand and to walk with you in the battle against the impure spirit. My children, consecrate yourselves to me completely. I will take your lives into my motherly hands and I will teach them peace and love, and then I will give them over to my Son. I am asking of you to pray and fast because only in this way will you know how to witness my Son in the right way through my motherly heart. Pray for your shepherds that, united in my Son, they can always joyfully proclaim the Word of God. Thank you.” I know that it is hard to understand consecration to Mary! But please take time to ponder how much we need her today. The world has run amok. We cannot find the good, and the way to God on our own. It is futile. We need Our Lady to guide us into all truth and goodness, indeed to guide us to her Son, Jesus. She longs to be our intercessor, mediatrix, and mother! The is not time now to wait. Call upon Mary! God bless, Cathy Nolan Mary TV www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/    

August 13, 2025 Reflection – Today, like never before, I invite you to prayer.

Today, like never before, I invite you to prayer. August 13, 2025 Saints Pontian and Hippolytus Dear Family of Mary! Here is another well remembered message from Our Lady! This message left us breathless when we first received it in 1991. Our Lady spoke so directly to us, with such urgency!! Today it still holds true, though we have passed through many perilous times since then. January 25, 1991  “Dear children! Today, like never before, I invite you to prayer. Let your prayer be a prayer for peace. Satan is strong and desires to destroy not only human life, but also nature and the planet on which you live. Therefore, dear children, pray that through prayer you can protect yourselves with God’s blessing of peace. God has sent me among you so that I may help you. If you so wish, grasp for the rosary. Even the rosary alone can work miracles in the world and in your lives. I bless you and I remain with you for as long as it is God’s will. Thank you for not betraying my presence here and I thank you because your response is serving the good and the peace.” I believe that we need to pray with this message, applying it to these days we are in. Mother is teaching us the way to peace in these difficult days. She is God’s gift to us, to guide us to Him. God bless, Cathy Nolan Mary TV www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/  

August 12, 2025 Reflection – I want to protect you…

I want to protect you from everything that satan offers you and through which he wants to destroy you.   August 12, 2025 St. Jane Frances de Chantal Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady is with us in Medjugorje for so many reasons. She wants to bless us, teach us, lead us, console us, warn us, accompany us, and so much more. One way that she helps us is through her protection! As we all know, we live in a world that is awash in spiritual and physical dangers. The battle for our souls is intense these days. Mother Mary is with us in Medjugorje especially to protect us from all the traps that our enemy has laid for us. She is our Mother, and longs to cover us with her mantle of protection. Here is a message in which she offers her protection to us: March 25, 1990 “Dear children! I am with you even if you are not conscious of it. I want to protect you from everything that satan offers you and through which he wants to destroy you. As I bore Jesus in my womb, so also, dear children, do I wish to bear you into holiness. God wants to save you and sends you messages through men, nature, and so many things which can only help you to understand that you must change the direction of your life. Therefore, little children, understand also the greatness of the gift which God is giving you through me, so that I may protect you with my mantle and lead you to the joy of life. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Thank you, dearest Mother, for coming to our rescue! Thank you for protecting us with your mantle, and leading us to the safety of God’s love. Teach us how to recognize Satan’s lies and turn quickly to the safety of Your Heart and the Heart of our Lord, Jesus! Sacred Heart of Jesus, save us! Immaculate Heart of Mary, help us! God bless, Cathy Nolan Mary TV www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/

August 11, 2025 Reflection – Medjugorje is a sign to all of you….

Medjugorje is a sign to all of you…   August 11, 2025 St. Clare Dear Family of Mary! After an intense week of prayer, catechesis, beautiful celebrations of the Holy Mass, and just plain joy as we sang with the choir, we find ourselves back to a normal routine. But the joy lingers in our hearts!! Thank you, Mother Mary, for the Youth Festival. We have all been replenished! As I prayed about what to share with you today, I heard the word suffering. I decided to do a search in the messages, and I came across this message, April 25, 1992. I realized that this message was given during the Balkan war in the early 90’s. Such a dark time it was, especially for the parishioners of St. James Parish and all those involved with that terrible war. But I then was reminded that our time is no different. We have wars going on in many countries. And we have societal wars going on as well. There is very little peace today. So I want to share this message with you all. It is very meaningful. April 25, 1992  “Dear children! Today also I invite you to prayer. Only by prayer and fasting can war be stopped. Therefore, my dear little children, pray and by your life give witness that you are mine and that you belong to me, because satan wishes in these turbulent days to seduce as many souls as possible. Therefore, I invite you to decide for God and He will protect you and show you what you should do and which path to take. I invite all those who have said ‘yes’ to me to renew their consecration to my Son Jesus and to His Heart and to me so we can take you more intensely as instruments of peace in this unpeaceful world. Medjugorje is a sign to all of you and a call to pray and live the days of grace that God is giving you. Therefore, dear children, accept the call to prayer with seriousness. I am with you and your suffering is also mine. Thank you for having responded to my call.” This message gives us a roadmap for these days. We who are responding to Our Lady’s call have been given a specific job to do. We are being asked to consecrate ourselves to Jesus and Mary, and to become instruments of peace in this unpeaceful world. The people in Medjugorje responded to this very call, and their village was spared. Now it has become an oasis of peace for the whole world. Just think what could happen if we responded to this call together! What good might God be able to do!! God bless, Cathy Nolan Mary TV www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/  

August 8, 2025 Reflection – Medjugorje Youth Festival – Day 8

The Holy Mass on the last night of the Youth Festival!   August 8, 2025 Youth Festival, Day 5 Dear Family of Mary! The Evening Mass for the last night of the Medjugorje Youth Festival was very moving. The atmosphere of worship and praise of God was intense and moving. The whole assembly had been well prepared to pray! This picture above gives us an idea of the vast number of people who were gathered together to worship Jesus, in the dark of night! No one wanted to leave. But they all knew that during the night they would be awakened to climb Cross Mountain, in order to reach the top at dawn, when Holy Mass would be celebrated!! This is the way each Youth Festival ends. A night of worship and adoration of Jesus, followed by a treck up Cross Mountain for Holy Mass at dawn! What a precious time this is for the young people. Our Lady says to us: July 2, 2009  “Dear children! I am calling you because I need you. I need hearts ready for immeasurable love. Hearts that are not burdened by vanity. Hearts that are ready to love as my Son loved, that are ready to sacrifice themselves as my Son sacrificed Himself. I need you. In order to come with me, forgive yourselves, forgive others and adore my Son. Adore Him also for those who have not come to know Him, those who do not love Him… Therefore, I need you. Therefore, I call you. Thank you.” Mother Mary needs us to be her children who follow her with complete trust and love. She needs us to be listening with our hearts to her call to us. If we do not listen, who will? We need to be her apostles of love, her dear children who are ready to help her to gather souls for heaven. May we respond to her call! May we say yes to her! Join us live on Cross Mountain at 5:00 am Medjugorje time! (We will have the recording for those who can’t view it live!) God bless, Cathy Nolan Mary TV www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/

In this message she encourages us to do the same: February 25, 1995 “Dear children! Today I invite you to become missionaries of my messages, which I am giving here through this place that is dear to me. God has allowed me to stay this long with you and therefore, little children, I invite you to live with love the messages I give and to transmit them to the whole world, so that a river of love flows to people who are full of hatred and without peace. I invite you, little children, to become peace where there is no peace and light where there is darkness, so that each heart accepts the light and the way of salvation. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May we all become missionaries of her messages!! This is the good news that the entire world needs to hear!!

I would like to leave you all with a message to ponder today: April 2, 2012  “Dear children, As the Queen of Peace, I desire to give peace to you, my children, true peace which comes through the heart of my Divine Son. As a mother I pray that wisdom, humility and goodness may come to reign in your hearts; that peace may reign; that my Son may reign… When my Son will be the ruler in your hearts, you will be able to help others to come to know Him. When heavenly peace comes to rule over you, those who are seeking it in the wrong places, thus causing pain to my motherly heart, will recognize it. My children, great will be my joy when I see that you are accepting my words and that you desire to follow me. Do not be afraid, you are not alone. Give me your hands and I will lead you. Do not forget your shepherds. Pray that in their thoughts they may always be with my Son who called them to witness Him. Thank you.” Our Lady has come to us as the Queen of Peace. She chose this title. It must be very important. We can help her first and foremost by accepting the peace that Our Lady has come to give us. We need to do that every day! Without the peace of Heaven, we are unable to help others to enter that peace. The world in so dark because it is without the Peace of God. Our Lady comes to us with that peace. She can help us to receive it! Then we can lead people to our Mother, and to her Son. There they will find true peace! We can see her doing just this at the Youth Festival!!! God bless, Cathy Nolan Mary TV www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/

August 5, 2025 Reflection – Medjugorje Youth Festival – Day 2

This shot is of the Opening Night of Youth Festival 2025!!   August 5, 2025 Youth Festival, Day 2 Dear Family of Mary! The Opening Night of the Youth Festival was incredible! So full of life!! So full of prayer!!! So full of the Holy Spirit! As I prayed about it, I felt drawn to this message from Our Lady: May 25, 1988 “Dear children! I am inviting you to a complete surrender to God. Pray, little children, that satan may not carry you about like the branches in the wind. Be strong in God. I desire that through you the whole world may get to know the God of joy. By your life bear witness for God’s joy. Do not be anxious nor worried. God himself will help you and show you the way. I desire that you love all men with my love. Only in that way can love reign over the world. Little children, you are mine. I love you and want you to surrender to me so that I can lead you to God. Never cease praying so that satan cannot take advantage of you. Pray for the knowledge that you are mine. I bless you with blessings of joy. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Somehow I can hear Our Lady’s voice in this message for the all of us who are in Medjugorje or watching through Mary TV. This is an invitation from Our Lady! She wants us to surrender completely to God!! Let’s pray for all of us this week that we can grow in our surrender to God and our joy in Him will increase!!
