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!!!

Permit God to lead you as a shepherd leads his flock. August 1, 2025 St. Alphonsis Liguori Dear Family of Mary! It seems that in these times we need Jesus to guide us more than ever. As tensions rise in the world, and people grow anxious, like sheep without a shepherd, we must bring them the incredible peace and security that Jesus gives us as our Good Shepherd. He alone knows the way to peace. He alone knows the way to the Father. Our Lady longs for us to follow Jesus, our Good Shepherd: November 25, 2006 “Dear children! Also today I call you to pray, pray, pray. Little children, when you pray you are close to God and He gives you the desire for eternity. This is a time when you can speak more about God and do more for God. Therefore, little children, do not resist but permit Him to lead you, to change you and to enter into your life. Do not forget that you are travelers on the way toward eternity. Therefore, little children, permit God to lead you as a shepherd leads his flock. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Let’s permit Jesus to lead us, to change us and to enter into our lives! Let’s follow Him as sheep follow their shepherd. We will find peace! Our Lady gave Jelena this wonderful prayer to Jesus, our Shepherd: Consecration to the Heart of Jesus (Given by Our Lady to Jelena Vasilj, 11/28/1983) O Jesus, we know that You are sweet (Mt. 11:29). That you have given Your heart for us. It was crowned with thorns by our sins. We know that today You still pray for us so that we will not be lost. Jesus, remember us if we fall into sin. Through Your most Sacred Heart, make us all love one another. Cause hatred to disappear among men. Show us Your love. All of us love You. And we desire that you protect us with Your Heart of the Good Shepherd. Enter into each heart, Jesus! Knock on the door of our hearts. Be patient and tenacious with us. We are still locked up in ourselves, because we have not understood Your will. Knock continuously, Oh Jesus. Make our hearts open up to you, at least in reminding us of the passion which you suffered for us. Amen In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2025 PS. On Monday, August 4, the Youth Festival begins. I will send out the schedule in Monday’s reflection. But here is the link to the Parish Website with the schedule you can refer to: https://www.medjugorje.hr/UserFiles/images/2025/ProgramENG.pdf www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/

Help us, Jesus our brother, to obtain the goodness of the Father! July 31, 2025 St. Ignatius of Loyola Dear Family of Mary! In our Gospel for today, Mt 13:47-53, Jesus talks about the end of the age! He gives us an image of the Kingdom of heaven. Here is an excerpt from the Gospel: Jesus said to the discipes: “The Kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea, which collects fish of every kind. When it is full they haul it ashore and sit down to put what is good into buckets. What is bad they throw away. Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth..”(Matthew 13:47-50) I have always thought this was a curious analogy for the final judgement. But it gets the point across. Not everyone will go to heaven. Our hearts need to be 100% for God. We can clean them out, little by little, but we should never get satisfied. We need undivided hearts, loving God above all things! Our Lady inspired Jelena to write down a prayer which we could pray for undivided hearts, and truly desire to love God alone! Here it is! I find it very beautiful. Petition to God (Given by Our Lady to Jelena Vasilj, 6/22/1985) Recite 3 Glory Be’s Oh God, our heart is in deep obscurity, in spite of our union to Your Heart. Our heart is struggling between You and satan; do not permit it to be in this manner! Every time that the heart is divided between good and evil, let it be enlightened by Your light and let it be unified. Never permit, for there to be able to exist in us two loves, that there can never co-exist in us two faiths, and that there can never co-exist in us; lying and sincerity, love and hatred, honesty and dishonesty, humility and pride. Help us on the contrary, so that our hearts may be elevated toward You just like that of a child. May our heart be ravished with peac and continue to always have the nostalgia of it. May Your Holy will and Your love find a permanent place in us, that at least sometimes we would really wish to be Your children and when, Oh Lord, we will desire to be Your children, remember our past desires and help us to receive You again. We open our hearts to you so that Your holy love will remain in us. We open our souls to you, so that they may be touched by Your holy mercy which will help us to see clearly all our sins, and will make us realize, that which makes us impure is sin. God, we want to be Your children, humble and devout, to the point of becoming your cherished and sincere children, such as only the Father would be able to desire that we be. Help us, Jesus our brother, to obtain the goodness of the Father in our regard, and to be good to Him. Help us Jesus, to understand well what God gives us, although sometimes we fail to perform a good act, as though it were for us an evil. Amen! This is a very good prayer to pray! Our Lady gave us the words to say!! She understands the challenges of our human nature. She is one of us in everything but sin by the special grace of God. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

O Immaculate Heart of Mary, overflowing with goodness, Show us your love for us. July 30, 2025 St. Peter Chrysologus Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady told us on July 25, 2025: “Dear children! In this time of grace, when the Most High permits me to love you and lead you on the way of holiness, Satan wants to entangle you with the cord of peacelessness and hatred. Do not permit him to prevail, but, little children, fight for the holiness of every life. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Even as Mother Mary comes to love us and lead us on the way of holiness, our great enemy, Satan, comes to entangle us with the cord of peacelessness and hatred. This has always been the struggle. Our enemy can’t stop Our Lady. She is too powerful! But he can lure us away from her, and from our King, through his temptations. He lies to us, and lures us away from the good with his insinuations and evil thoughts. This is the cord of peacelessness and hatred. The enemy is constantly whispering lies to us. Fr. Rossetti calls this “Demon Brain.” The thoughts bombard us, constantly feeding our egos, and sewing distrust and envy, even hatred and malice into our hearts. Sin can prevail. How many souls are bound up in these cords, because they have never heard the Good News of Christ, the loving news of our Redemption. Mother is with us to teach us to discern the truth in our hearts and minds, and to shake off the shackles of sin. She longs to love us and to lead us to the way of holiness. She will protect us from our enemy, and lead us to Jesus. Then we can help others! Let’s pray together this prayer given to Jelena Vasilj by Our Lady in 1983. The prayer is very childlike, and beautiful: Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Given by Our Lady to Jelena Vasilj, 11/28/1983) O Immaculate Heart of Mary, overflowing with goodness, Show us your love for us. May the flame of your heart, Oh Mary, Descend upon all peoples. We love you immensely. Impress in our hearts a true love. May our hearts yearn for you. Oh Mary, sweet and humble of heart, Remember us when we sin. You know that all mankind are sinners. Through your most sacred and maternal heart, Cure us from every spiritual illness. Make us capable of looking at the beauty of your maternal heart, And that, thus, we may be converted to the flame of your heart. Amen Amen! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

She will come!!   July 29, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady told us on July 25: “In this time of grace, when the Most High permits me to love you and lead you on the way of holiness…” Our Lady must have really wanted to come to us in Medjugorje! She tells us that the Father permitted her to love us and lead us on the way of holiness. She must have asked Him to allow her to come to us in Medjugorje so she could love us. These visitations are something she really wanted to do!!! God said yes, and she came!! This reminded me of an amazing story that Msgr. Stephen Rosssetti, an exorcist from Washington, DC, told us recently. You can read the full story on his website at this address: https://www.catholicexorcism.org/post/exorcist-diary-119-she-will-come But I want to share a video in which Msgr. Rossetti briefly shares this testimony on Mary TV! It is brilliant. Here is the link to our website: https://video.marytv.tv/watch/mMZX0TsVdnN?ctx=S4y8Dhn1sOD%2CiorX6DUsA0r I have transcribed Msgr. Rossetti’s comments on the Mary TV video. He makes a very good point: Msgr. Rossetti says: As a matter of fact I was in probably one of the toughest cases I have had. And about two weeks before it ended, I said “In Jesus’ name, I command you’, to the demons, ‘When will you leave, and how will you leave!’ And God made them tell the truth. They said, “Two weeks!” And I said, “You are going to leave in two weeks, and how?” They said, “She will come.” We knew exactly who they meant! And when that time finally came, she did come!!! And it was a very powerful moment! She didn’t say anything, she just moved closer and closer, and Lucifer was just screaming…and the other demons beat feet out of the room. He (Lucifer) was left. The Lord made Lucifer experience being cast out by Mary. One thing you learn as an exorcist is the role of Mary! All exorcists love the Virgin Mary! It is just universal! A real exorcist loves her for a variety of reasons, of course. First of all he is a priest, and all priests love their mother! But she is also a very potent force in an exorcism. That phrase in Scripture, in Genesis, is often applied to Mary, and it fits! She will crush Satan’s head! And she does! (Msgr. Rossetti) Our Lady came to that exorcism, and a miracle of deliverance and exorcism took place. I believe that She comes to deliver and exorcise all who are in need every day in Medjugorje. She comes!! She comes!! How can we ignore this powerful visitation? She comes!! We, her children, should be greeting her every day, as best we can, through the internet, in our hearts and prayers at 6:40 pm Medjugorje time! She will come!! Indeed, She comes each day. May we never miss another coming of our powerful Mother! We can pray for ourselves, our families, our cities, our countries, our poor world. She comes! Our prayers will be heard!! She needs us to pray with her, for all the good that God intends for His children! “She will come!!” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2025 www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/  

The Most High permits me to love you…   July 28, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Here again is the message we received on July 25, 2025 from Our Lady of Medjugorje: “Dear children! In this time of grace, when the Most High permits me to love you and lead you on the way of holiness, Satan wants to entangle you with the cord of peacelessness and hatred. Do not permit him to prevail, but, little children, fight for the holiness of every life. Thank you for having responded to my call.” “In this time of grace, when the Most High permits me to love you and lead you on the way of holiness…” I am always so relieved when Our Lady again points out to us that this is a time of grace!! We all can sense that each day that our Mother is with us is a big grace!! Her presence makes this an incredible time of grace! Yesterday, as I was praying the Rosary (on my iPad from my home) with the parish before Evening Mass through Mary TV, and I heard the priest say, “Silencia”, I was so moved! I knew that Our Lady was coming for her usual visit! And how wonderful it was to join all the people around the church who kneel and grow silent, in anticipation of Our Lady’s coming! How wonderful it was to remain silent and watchful, acknowledging that though I couldn’t hear her or see her, I could indeed feel her coming amongst us! It also struck me how completely faithful our Mother is! She has promised to come each day, 20 minutes before Evening Mass in Medjugorje! And she does so!!! She comes. She comes to greet us, to pour out her love upon us, and to receive our intentions into her heart, where she will pray for each intention of each one of us, with a mother’s furvor. These few minutes with Our Lady, each day, are sooo precious!! Our Mother comes to embrace us and listen to our troubles and cares, to encourage us and help us to fight for our life with God! We have a Mother like no other!! I recommend that, if we have not already done so, we all begin to set our watches or phones to apparition time in Medjugorje, which in the summer is 6:40 pm Medj time. If we set an alarm, we will be reminded to stop, to kneel if we can, and to greet Mother Mary who has taken the time to come from Heaven to be with us!! We can thank her, talk to her about whatever is most pressing, and pray with her for whatever she needs as well!! This is a time to be with her, one on one. “In this time of grace, when the Most High permits me to love you and lead you on the way of holiness…” She come to see us, to love us, to lead us, to bless us, to carry us if we need it, to hold us close to her heart!! She comes and brings us Heaven. We are the most blessed children! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2025 www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/  

In this time of grace…   July 25, 2025 St. James Dear Family of Mary! July 25, 2025 Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje: “Dear children!
