Dear children, mine is a big heart!   June 13, 2022 St. Anthony of Padua Dear Family of Mary! I was searching the messages and found this one given through Mirjana Soldo on March 18, 2007. It really speaks to me powerfully of how we can walk through these times of fear and menacing evil. Our Lady has come to us to save us from this evil. She has come to defeat our enemy, and she is asking for our help. She is our hope in these days. Let this message reach your heart. Try to live it every day. This is Our Lady’s battle plan! “Dear children! I come to you as a Mother with gifts. I come with love and mercy. Dear children, mine is a big heart. In it, I desire all of your hearts, purified by fasting and prayer. I desire that, through love, our hearts may triumph together. I desire that through that triumph you may see the real Truth, the real Way and the real Life. I desire that you may see my Son. Thank you.” (March 18, 2007) In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

  You, little children, are free to in freedom decide for God or against Him.   June 10, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! January 25, 2016 “Dear children! Also today I am calling all of you to prayer. You cannot live without prayer, because prayer is a chain which brings you closer to God. Therefore, little children, in humility of heart return to God and to His commandments so that with all of your heart you are able to say: as it is in Heaven so may it be on earth. You, little children, are free to in freedom decide for God or against Him. See where Satan wants to pull you into sin and slavery. Therefore, little children, return to my heart so that I can lead you to my Son Jesus who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady speaks of freedom, because she understands that God has given each one of us freedom to choose. That power to choose, that freedom, is also our greatest danger. We can easily choose to walk away from God’s plan for our lives. (Remember Fr. Martin’s homily on trust!) St. John Paul II wrote very clearly and powerfully about this gift of freedom. Here is an excerpt from Veritatis Splendor which captures so much about our freedom and its power for good or ill: What is the ultimate source of the inner division of man? His history of sin begins when he no longer acknowledges the Lord as his Creator and himself wishes to be the one who determines, with complete independence, what is good and what is evil. You will be like God, knowing good and evil (Gen 3:5): this was the first temptation, and it is echoed in all the other temptations to which man is more easily inclined to yield as a result of the original fall. But temptations can be overcome, sins can be avoided, because together with the commandments the Lord gives us the possibility of keeping them: His eyes are on those who fear him, and he knows every deed of man. He has not commanded any one to be ungodly, and he has not given any one permission to sin (Sir 15:19-20). Keeping God’s law in particular situations can be difficult, extremely difficult, but it is never impossible. This is the constant teaching of the Church’s tradition…. Man always has before him the spiritual horizon of hope, thanks to the help of divine grace…. It is in the saving cross of Jesus, in the gift of the Holy Spirit, in the sacraments which flow forth from the pierced side of the Redeemer, that believers find the grace and the strength always to keep God’s holy law, even amid the gravest of hardships. As Saint Andrew of Crete observes, the law itself “was enlivened by grace and made to serve it in a harmonious and fruitful combination. Each element preserved its characteristics without change or confusion. In a divine manner, he turned what could be burdensome and tyrannical into what is easy to bear and a source of freedom.” Only in the mystery of Christ’s redemption do we discover the concrete possibilities of man. It would be a very serious error to conclude that the Church’s teaching is essentially only an “ideal” which must then be adapted. This is what is at stake: the reality of Christ’s redemption. Christ has redeemed us! This means that he has given us the possibility of realizing the entire truth of our being; he has set our freedom free from the domination of concupiscence. St. John Paul II – From the encyclical Veritatis Splendor The key to choosing God’s way over our own is TRUST. Remember that. Only God is trustworthy! Only He can lead us towards our true joy and eternal happiness!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2022  

Be it done unto me according to Thy word! June 9, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! Fr. Martin, in his brilliant homily, made it completely clear to us that the most important thing we can do every day is to trust God, and do as He calls us to do. Trust God, always. Trust God, every day. Trust God, in humility. Trust God, first and last. Trust God, completely. Trust, trust, trust God!!! The best example we have of this kind of trust is Our Lady. She lived that trust perfectly. And through St. Luke she gave us the account of her encounter with the Angel Gabriel, who came to her to reveal God’s plan for her, a plan that would change the world forever. She told us the story of how she trusted God at that moment. She wanted her children to know exactly how she lived her trust in the Father, so we would have a model to follow. Here is that story: In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end.” And Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I have no husband?” And the angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible.” And Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. (Luke 1: 26-36) This conversation between Our Lady and St. Gabriel (who was speaking for God) teaches us so much about our relationship with our Creator. The Father was so respectful of Our Lady. The words He gave to Gabriel were full of respect and kindness, joy and love. This is the way God wants to talk to each of us as well. He wants to bless us! He wants to encourage us and give us His plans for us so that we will be blessed forever! The Father has a plan for each one of us. And He wants to share those plans with us. But we must listen. Our Lady encouraged us to listen in prayer so that we can hear God’s voice, His loving plan for us in this message: March 2, 2014 “Dear children, I am coming to you as a mother and I desire that in me, as in a mother, you may find your abode, consolation and rest. Therefore, my children, apostles of my love, pray. Pray with humble devotion, obedience and complete trust in the Heavenly Father. Trust as I have trusted when it was said to me that I will bring the blessing of the promise. May out of your hearts, from your lips, always come forth ‘May your will be done!’ Therefore, trust and pray so that I can intercede for you before the Lord, for Him to give you the Heavenly Blessing and fill you with the Holy Spirit. Then He will be able to help all those who do not know the Lord – you, apostles of my love, will help them to call Him ‘Father’ with complete trust. Pray for your shepherds and place your trust in their blessed hands. Thank you.” Mother wants us to respond to the Father just like she did, with the words “May your will be done! Be it done unto me according to Thy word!” This is how we live out our complete trust in God, as Fr. Martin was showing us. Notice how many times Our Lady used the word, trust!! She and Fr. Martin are on the same page. Our biggest problem is trust, and our greatest solution to that problem is to trust God in all things!! The times are difficult. Now is the time to say “yes” to God with all our hearts! That is the only way we can help Jesus and Mary in this battle for souls. Here again is the link to Fr. Martin’s homily, if you would like to listen to it! https://marytv.tv/english-homily-in-medjugorje-2/?smid=ikKNuxsfJ8u&slid=IRBKmbjFsDA God bless you all!! We are living in important and blessed times. Stay close to Mother Mary!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2022  

  What is the biggest problem in your life?   June 8, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! November 25, 2010 “Dear children! I look at you and I see in your heart death without hope, restlessness and hunger. There is no prayer or trust in God, that is why the Most High permits me to bring you hope and joy. Open yourselves. Open your hearts to God’s mercy and He will give you everything you need and will fill your hearts with peace, because He is peace and your hope. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Fr. Oisin Eoghan Martin, part of the American Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, gave a homily on June 4, 2022 at English Mass in Medjugorje which is directly connected with the message above! It is a fantastic homily!!! I want to share it with you all but it is too long to transcribe all at once. So here is the beginning of it, and I am including the link to the video on Mary TV’s website with the entire homily! Homily for English Mass in Medjugorje on June 4, 2022 by Fr. Oisin Martin: I want to begin with a question. And the question is “What is the biggest problem in your life?” What is the biggest problem in your life? What is the biggest problem in your country? what is the biggest problem in the world? What has been the biggest problem in the history of the planet? It’s not the war in the Ukraine, or Covid, or sin, though sin flows from it. This problem affects every area of your life. It affects your mental health. It affects your physical health. It affects your mood, your relationships, your prayer life, your struggles. It affects the ability of God’s work in our lives. And the entire world is shaped by it. All the problems we have in the world happen because of it…And because of it, one angel in Heaven, called Lucifer, decided to do his own thing. And because of it, one couple called Adam and Eve started sin. This has been affecting us ever since. And it is the same problem for each one of us here. It is the same problem. This is the biggest problem in our lives. Not the thing you were thinking about two minutes ago. It is that we don’t trust. We don’t believe with all of our hearts that our Father truly loves us. We don’t trust that He always wants our happiness and He has our happiness at stake. We don’t believe that He is in complete control of every single aspect of our lives with no exceptions. We don’t believe with all our hearts in His Church, His Commandments, even the messages that Our Mother Mary is giving to us in Medjugorje. In Ephesians 3:20 God speaks to us through St. Paul: “God desires to accomplish all things in us in a measure far beyond what we can ask or conceive.” God desires to accomplish amazing and awesome things in each one of our lives. Regardless of who we are or our circumstances. And the only thing we should really be worried about is “God what do you want me to do?” In all honesty, for me, for Fr. Leon, for all of us, our daily question should be: “God what do you want me to do?” We worry, we fear, we get anxious, we get angry, we take control, we judge we condemn, because we don’t completely and fully trust our Heavenly Father… https://marytv.tv/english-homily-in-medjugorje-2/?smid=ikKNuxsfJ8u&slid=IRBKmbjFsDA God bless you all!! We are living in important and blessed times. Stay close to Mother Mary!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021  

The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church June 6, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! Jesus gave us His Mother as He died on the cross. This final act shows us His total love for us. He brought us into His family by giving us His Mother as our Mother. We can only be in awe at such a gift!! Here is that moment, that gift, from the Gospel of John: But standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Mag’dalene. When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. (John19: 25-27) On this feast day we celebrate the gift of Mary as our Mother, as the Mother of the whole church. She spoke to us about her role as Mother of the Church in this message. Let’s take in her words today, and let them mold us and bless us!: June 2, 2016 “Dear children, as the Mother of the Church, as your mother, I am smiling as I look at you: how you are coming to me, how you are gathering around me, how you are seeking me. My comings among you are proof of how much Heaven loves you. They indicate to you the way to eternal life, to salvation. My apostles, you who strive to have a pure heart and to have my Son in it, you are on the good way. You who are seeking my Son are seeking the good way. He left many signs of His love. He left hope. It is easy to find Him if you are ready for sacrifice and penance – if you have patience, mercy and love for your neighbors. Many of my children do not see and do not hear because they do not want to. They do not accept my words and my works, yet through me, my Son calls everyone. His Spirit illuminates all of my children in the light of the Heavenly Father, in the unity of Heaven and Earth, in mutual love – because love invokes love and makes works more important than words. Therefore, my apostles, pray for your Church, love it and do works of love. No matter how betrayed or wounded, it is here because it comes from the Heavenly Father. Pray for your shepherds so that in them you may see the greatness of the love of my Son. Thank you.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021  

  May 25, 2022 Message! May 25, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! Here is the May 25, 2022 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace of Medjugorje: “Dear children! I am looking at you and thanking God for each of you, because He permits me to still be with you, to encourage you to holiness. Little children, peace is disturbed and Satan wants peacelessness. That is why, may your prayer be even stronger so that every unclean spirit of division and war may be stilled. Be builders of peace and carriers of joy of the Risen One in you and around you, for the good to win in every man. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (May 25, 2022) In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV Let’s pray the Litany to the Holy Name of Mary!

  Thank you, Dearest Mother, for the Monthly Messages!. May 24, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! Tomorrow we look forward to receiving the Monthly Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje! These Monthly Messages have been a staple for us since 1987! How blessed we are to be cared for in such a consistent manner for all these years. Below is a list of the last five messages we have received on the 25th of each month. We might pray a Rosary, reading one message for each decade.

Little children, without peace you do not have a future or blessing; therefore return to prayer, because the fruit of prayer is joy and faith, without which you cannot live. Today’s blessing which we give you, carry to your families and enrich all those whom you meet, that they may feel the grace which you are receiving. Thank you for having responded to my call.” January 25, 2022 “Dear children! Today I am calling you to return to personal prayer. Little children, do not forget that Satan is strong and that he wants to attract all the more souls to himself. That is why, you be vigilant in prayer and resolute in the good. I am with you and am blessing all of you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” February 25, 2022 “Dear children! I am with you and we pray together. Help me with prayer, little children, that Satan may not prevail. His power of death, hatred, and fear has visited the earth. Therefore, little children, return to God and to prayer, to fasting and to renunciation, for all those who are downtrodden, poor, and have no voice in this world without God. Little children, if you do not return to God and His Commandments, you do not have a future. That is why He sent me to you to guide you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” March 25, 2022 “Dear children! I am listening to your cry and prayers for peace. For years, Satan has been fighting for war. That is why God sent me among you to guide you on the way of holiness, because humanity is at a crossroad. I am calling you to return to God and to God’s Commandments that it may be good for you on earth, and that you may come out of this crisis into which you have entered because you are not listening to God who loves you and desires to save you and lead you to a new life. Thank you for having responded to my call.” April 25, 2022 “Dear children! I am looking at you and I see that you are lost. That is why I am calling all of you: return to God, return to prayer – and the Holy Spirit will fill you with His love which gives joy to the heart. Hope will grow in you, also for a better future, and you will become joyful witnesses of God’s mercy in you and around you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” We await your words to us with peace and joy! Thank you, Mother Mary! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid…     May 23, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! The Gospel for Holy Mass on Sunday, May 22, 2022 was from John 14:23-29. I want to quote one verse: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid…” (Jn 14:27) Jesus was very careful to explain to the Apostles that His peace is not the kind of peace that the world offers. They should not look for worldly peace. Only Jesus can give us peace. But don’t we still fall into the trap of looking for worldly answers to our anxieties? Hoping for peace from that source? Here is a beautiful, inspired, and absolutely true description of where to find true peace, written by Caryll Houselander many years ago. Everything Caryll said so many years ago applies to us today! Please read this short excerpt slowly and prayerfully. She is speaking to us right now. Our Mother is speaking to us through her. This is how we will bring in the Triumph! “Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid” Too many anxious Christians today think that their efforts to preach and teach and enter into outward activities can do more to save the world than the surrender of their souls to God, to become Christ-bearers. They believe that they can do more than our Lady did, and they have not time to stop to consider the absurdity of this. They fear that if the world goes on hurling itself into disaster, as it seems to be doing now, Christ’s kingdom may be defeated. This is not so; Christ has given his word that he will be with and in his little flock until the end of the world. However dark our days seem to be for Christianity, they are not so dark as the night following the crucifixion must have seemed to the apostles. For that night Christ had already prepared them. He told them to wait: to wait for the coming of the Holy Spirit. He told them that he was going away, that they would no longer see him and know the consolation of his presence with them, but that it was better for them that he should go, and that the condition for the coming of the Holy Spirit, through whom he would live on in them, was his going (Jn 16:7-8). Christ himself prepared for his Resurrection by resting in the tomb, just as he had prepared for his birth by resting in his Mother’s womb. He did not call the legions of angels he could have called to fight back the forces of evil that had crucified him; he simply lay in the tomb at rest and, at the appointed moment in time, rose from death to renew the life of the whole world. The apostles, like the modern apostles, were afraid, and with good cause…. They, with the Mother of Christ, alone stood for Christ’s kingdom, and the murderous hatred of Christ’s enemies pointed straight at them. But Christ told them simply to wait in the city until the Holy Spirit came to them; not to run away, not to make plans of their own, not to be troubled, with either their own recent failure and sin or concerning the danger that fenced them all around, but only to wait, with his Mother among them, for the coming of the Comforter who would make them strong, heal their wounds, wash the stains from their souls, and be their joy. Christ does not change, the preparation for the coming of the Spirit is the same today as two thousand years ago, whether it be for the rebirth of Christ in one soul that is in the hard winter, or for the return of Christ from the grave, whose blood is shed again by the martyrs. The preparation is the same: the still, quiet mind, acceptance, and remaining close to the Mother of God, resting in her rest while the life of the world grew within her towards the flowering of everlasting joy. Caryll Houselander († 1954) was a British artist, poet, and spiritual author. / From The Risen Christ. Sheed & Ward Publishers, 1958. Our job is to remain close to the Mother of God, resting in her rest while the life of the world grows within her – Jesus, Our Life! This is how we will be safe and save others! Our Lady only wants one thing, to be with us and help us to wait for her Son. She said, early on in the apparitions: Saturday, February 25, 1984 “Know that I love all of you. Know that you are all mine. To no one do I desire to give more than to you. Come to me all of you. Stay with me. I want to be your Mother. Come, I desire all of you.” If we stay close to Mary, she will teach us to wait for her Son, to pray as she prays, and to believe as she believes. In this will be our hope and our victory. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV Let’s pray the Litany to the Holy Name of Mary!

Love one another! May 20, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! We have been pondering the Gospel Readings for the 5th week of Easter in a special way, allowing Jesus’ words to sink into our hearts, and then listening to Our Lady’s words which help us to respond to Jesus! It has been very good for me, and I hope for you!! Today Jesus teaches us His Commandment. It is so simple sounding, but actually it is so difficult to do. But we can’t let the difficulty stop us! We are called to love one another! And so when we fail, we must simply run to Jesus for forgiveness and the run to our brother or sister and ask for their forgiveness, and then start anew! Jesus has given us the way, through humility and contrition. Knowing this let us listen to Our Savior’s Commandment! John 15:12-17 Jesus said to his disciples: “This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down his life for his 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.” (John 15: 12-17) Jesus tells us that He has chosen us. And Our Lady has called us! We are so blessed to be chosen and called by Jesus and Mary! Our Lady teaches us about our calling: September 2, 2015 “Dear children, My dear apostles of love, my carriers of truth, again I am calling you and gathering you around me to help me, to help all of my children who thirst for love and truth – who thirst for my Son. I am a grace from the Heavenly Father, sent to help you to live the word of my Son. Love one another. I lived your earthly life. I know that it is not always easy, but if you will love each other, you will pray with the heart, you will reach spiritual heights and the way to heaven will be opened for you. I, your mother, am waiting for you there because I am there. Be faithful to my Son and teach others faithfulness. I am with you. I will help you. I will teach you faith that you may know how to transmit it to others in the right way. I will teach you truth that you may know how to discern. I will teach you love that you may come to know what real love is… My children, my Son will make it so as to speak through your words and your actions. Thank you.” Our Lady is with us, so we have only joy ahead…She will lead us on the way!! I am a grace from the Heavenly Father, sent to help you to live the word of my Son. Love one another. Yes Mother, we will follow you, and live the word of your Son, “Love one another!’ In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV Let’s pray the Litany to the Holy Name of Mary!
