(A shot of the sky over Medjugorje last night during adoration) The Holy Spirit of Truth! May 12, 2021 Saints Nereus and Achilleus, Saint Pancras Dear Family of Mary! Our Gospel readings continue to teach us about the Holy Spirit during these days before Pentecost. Today Jesus promises to send us the “Spirit of Truth”: Jesus said to his disciples: “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming. He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you. Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.” (John 16:12-15) What a comfort it must have been for the Apostles to hear these words. They had witnessed the controversy surrounding Jesus, a controversy that led to His Crucifixion. They knew it would be the same for them. The knew they would need God’s help to speak the truth and live the truth of Jesus in the days ahead. So Jesus told them He would send the Holy Spirit of Truth to guide them in the ways of truth. Many years ago, Our Lady advised us to pray for that very same Holy Spirit to guide us in the ways of truth, truth in relaying her messages and in living our lives according to the Gospel. She knew we would also face scrutiny as her witnesses, and that to serve Jesus we would need the Holy Spirit of Truth: Saturday, June 9, 1984 (Vigil of Pentecost) “Tomorrow evening, pray to receive the Spirit of Truth. More particularly, you, members of this parish. The Spirit of Truth is indispensable to you in order to convey the messages, such as I give them to you, without adding or deleting whatever it may be. Pray, so that the Holy Spirit inspires you, a Spirit of Prayer, so that you may pray more. I your mother, find that you pray too little.” Such practical advice. Our Mother is the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. She knows how much we need Him to live a holy and fruitful life! St. John Paul II wrote about the Holy Spirit of Truth in His Catechesis on the Holy Spirit in this way: 6. The Holy Spirit teaches the Christian the truth as a principle of life. He shows the concrete application of Jesus’ words in each one’s life. He enables one to discover the contemporary value of the Gospel for all human situations. He adapts the understanding of the truth to every circumstance, so that this truth does not remain merely abstract and speculative, but frees the Christian from the dangers of duplicity and hypocrisy. To this end, the Holy Spirit enlightens each one personally, to guide him in his conduct, by showing him the way to go and by giving him just a glimpse of the Father’s plan for his life. St. Paul seeks this great grace of light for the Colossians: “the spiritual understanding” which can enable them to understand the divine will. In fact, he assures them: “We do not cease praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his [God’s] will through all wisdom and spiritual understanding, to live in a manner worthy of the Lord, so as to be fully pleasing, in every good work bearing fruit…” (Col 1:9-10). For all of us this grace of light is necessary to have a good knowledge of God’s will for us and to be able to live our personal vocation fully. Problems are never lacking and they sometimes seem insoluble. But the Holy Spirit helps us in our difficulties and gives us light. He can reveal the divine solution, as he did at the time of the Annunciation in regard to the problem of reconciling motherhood with the desire for preserving one’s virginity. Even when it is a question of a unique mystery such as the role of Mary in the Incarnation of the Word, the Holy Spirit can be said to possess an infinite creativity, proper to the divine mind, which knows how to loosen the knots of human affairs, even the most complex and inscrutable. 7. All of this is given and accomplished in the soul by the Holy Spirit through his gifts, the graces which one can carefully discern, not according to the criteria of human wisdom, which is foolishness in God’s sight, but with that divine wisdom which can seem foolishness in the eyes of men (cf. 1 Cor 1:18-25). Only the Holy Spirit “scrutinizes everything, even the depths of God” (1 Cor 2:10-11) Catechesis by Pope John Paul II on the Holy Spirit General Audience, Wednesday 24 April 1991 – http://totus2us.com/teaching/jpii-catechesis-on-god-the-holy-spirit/ God knew we would need the Holy Spirit to enlighten each one of us personally, to guide us with His Light of Truth. We are such blessed children to have such a Father in Heaven! Well, I am very excited to begin the Novena to the Holy Spirit that we will pray before Pentecost!! It starts on this Friday, May 14!! Let’s stay close to Our Lady in these next days, for she is the spouse of the Holy Spirit!! Who better to help us receive Him! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021

The Advocate May 11, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! “But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go. For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. (John 16:7) In the Gospel today, Jesus calls the Holy Spirit the Advocate! In the Revised Standard Version it is translated the Counselor. Both titles are helpful. Jesus wanted the Apostles to understand that He was not going to leave them like orphans. His departure would be followed by the coming of the Third Person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, who would dwell in them and with them for the rest of their earthly lives. Jesus would never abandon His own. Nor does He abandon us. We receive the Holy Spirit at Baptism and Confirmation in a powerful way, but we also receive Him in every prayer we say. He comes to dwell in all who call upon Him in their hearts!! Isn’t our God incredibly beautiful!!! Our Lady advised us: May 25, 2000 “Dear children! I rejoice with you and in this time of grace I call you to spiritual renewal. Pray, little children, that the Holy Spirit may come to dwell in you in fullness, so that you may be able to witness in joy to all those who are far from faith. Especially, little children, pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit so that in the spirit of love, every day and in each situation, you may be closer to your fellow-man; and that in wisdom and love you may overcome every difficulty. I am with you and I intercede for each of you before Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.” She too tells us that if we pray the Holy Spirit will come to dwell in us in fullness! The Spirit wants to live in us, to take up His abode in us, so that He can guide and console and bless us, so that He can show us how best we can serve Jesus. The Spirit wants to dwell in us!! St. John Paul II wrote about the Holy Spirit dwelling in us in His Catechesis on the Holy Spirit with these words: 7. Jesus announces that the Holy Spirit will come to “remain” with us: “I will pray to the Father and he will give you another Comforter that he may remain with you forever” (Jn 14, 16); he himself will remain, not only his power, his wisdom, his action; but he himself as a Person. And again: he himself will remain not only “with us”, but “by us” and “in us”. “You know him” – says Jesus “because he dwells close to you and will be in you (Jn 14, 17). These words express the indwelling of the Holy Spirit as inner guest in people’s hearts: in the heart of anyone among all the souls belonging to Christ who welcomes the Spirit. The Father and Son too come to “take up residence” in these souls (Jn 14:23). Therefore the whole Trinity is present in them, but, since this is a spiritual presence, that presence refers in a most direct way to the Person of the Holy Spirit. 8. Through this presence at work in the soul, a person can become that “true worshipper” of God who “is spirit” (Jn 4:24), as Jesus said in the meeting with the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well (cf. Jn 4:23). The hour of those who “adore the Father in spirit and truth” arrived with Christ and becomes a reality in every person who accepts the Holy Spirit and lives according to the Spirit’s inspiration and under the Spirit’s personal direction. That is the greatest and holiest element in Christian spirituality.” (An Advocate who dwells in us – Catechesis by Pope John Paul II on the Holy Spirit – General Audience, Wednesday 26 September 1990) http://www.totus2us.co.uk/teaching/jpii-catechesis-on-god-the-holy-spirit/an-advocate-who-dwells-in-us/ Well, I am very excited to begin the Novena to the Holy Spirit that we will pray before Pentecost!! It starts on this Friday, May 14!! Let’s stay close to Our Lady in these next days, for she is the spouse of the Holy Spirit!! Who better to help us receive Him! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Eterinty May 10, 2021 St. Damien de VeusterDear Family of Mary! “These things I have spoken to you that my Joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.” (John 15:11) Our Lady said to us: July 2, 2012“My children; Again, in a motherly way, I implore you to stop for a moment and to reflect on yourselves and on the transience of this your earthly life. Then reflect on eternity and the eternal beatitude. What do you want? Which way do you want to set out on? This is a very important question for each one of us. Something to ponder each day of our lives. It has everything to do with Jesus’ joy! Do we want His joy? Fr. Leon’ homily for May 6, 2021 is an excellent teaching on eternity and what we should think about it: English Homily in Medjugorje Thursday, May 6, 2021 Fr. Leon Pereira The Lord Be With You. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John. John 15: 9-11 At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love; just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you that my Joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.” The Gospel of the Lord. HOMILY What is the perfect age to be? I think most of us imagine it’s probably the age that we’re at now. If we’re older, we might think, “Oh, I wish I was this age, when I had the health and vigor of a 20-year-old.” And then we would say, “That’s the perfect age!” Because we all know; we, who are older, we think, “Oh, thank God, I’m not as silly as I used to be when I was a child;” “Thank God I’m not as embarrassing as I used to be when I was a teenager.” We know this. It’s easy enough to look back and say this, and to think, “Oh, well, you know, I wasn’t so bad in my twenties.” “I was better in my thirties,” you know, etc. But what is the perfect age to be? What age will we be in the Resurrection? In the Middle Ages, people said, “Probably the same age as Jesus – 33.” And then they also said, “Well, what shape will we be?” You know, how will we look? What kind of bodies will we have? Will we look like infants? Will we look like children? Or teenagers? Or grownups? Or elderly? Or what kind of body are you going to have at the Resurrection? And no one really knew. But one guess was – they said, “Well, the perfect shape is a sphere” – so we’ll be 33 years old and a round ball. This is how we will look at the Resurrection. Actually, we had a friar in the convent who at the age of 33 was a perfect sphere. But that’s another story! The problem is: Eternity is quite different from everything we are used to – almost everything we are used to. Eternity is not time stretching out forever and ever, so get that out of your heads. Eternity is more like the present moment – Now. It’s fully possessing everything that you ever were, and ever will be, and are, in one single moment – Now. So, God, because He’s eternal – He’s not very, very old. He’s fresher than the newest thought that you’ve just had. He’s newer than the newest thought that you just had. Even now – even, the thought that you just had, is old compared to God. Eternity is very hard for us to conceive of, because there’s very little about us that shares in Eternity. We get a glimpse of it. You know, in your happiest moments, you forget that time flies, and, you know, hours can go by, and you’ve never even noticed, and you’re not even tired. That’s a little glimpse of the natural “Eve Eternity” that your soul shares in; because our souls are made to be eternal in this sense: although they had a beginning, they do not have an end. Now, I say all this because I want to talk about “God’s Eternity.” God begets. The Father begets the Son in Eternity – meaning, He does it now. And He breaths through Him and for Him, the Holy Spirit. He gives everything that He is, the Father gives everything that He is, to the Son; everything except being a Father. Because that is the one thing… it is not a thing that He has, it is a relationship He has. That is not something you can give. And it only happens as the Son is begotten. The Son is begotten, in Eternity. The Father says, “Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee,” in Eternity. And the Son says, in Eternity, “Behold, I come to do your will as it stands written in the scroll of the book concerning me.” And they both say this in the Holy Spirit. Because the Holy Spirit is the Joy proceeding from the Father and the Son, the Eternal Joy of God at being God. I have said all this before; that’s why it’s worth saying again. Why am I saying this? Well, what about us? When God plans to make us, does He sit in Eternity and think after a while, “Oh, I think I’ll make a Universe.” No. Because God is Eternal, His plan to make all of us is Eternal. So, as the Father breeds the Spirit through the Son, and begets the Son, He at the same time – in Eternity – plans every single one of us, and everything about this universe, everything about our lives. All the good that He desires to give us, and to make in that Eternal begetting of the Son, and Eternal spiration of the Spirit, He plans all this. So, for example, when we come to the Eucharist, we can say, “Oh, isn’t it marvelous, that Bread and Wine are such good symbols for Body and Blood?” He didn’t make Bread to look like Christ’s Body, and Wine to look like Christ’s Blood. He planned all this from Eternity, that they would indeed resemble each other. It’s not a great coincidence; not at all. This is an Eternal plan. Now, with this in mind, when we hear what the Gospel says to us today, “As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you.” Jesus is saying, the Father has loved me (the Eternal Son) with the Holy Spirit; therefore, I also have loved you with the Holy Spirit. “Abide in my love.” That love is the Holy Spirit. Remain in the Holy Spirit is what He’s saying. “If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love.” What are His commandments? To be faithful to the Father’s will; to go to the cross. He says, this is His commandment for Him. And then He says to us, “I give you a new commandment, Love one another as I have loved you. A man has no greater love than this, than to lay down his life for his friends.” So, this is about sacrifice and friendship; communion with each other. “If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, [Meaning, you will stay in the Holy Spirit] just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in His love.” In other words, Jesus desires us to have this Communion that the Trinity has; and He desires us to have it. And then He says the most shocking thing of all: “These things I have spoken to you that my Joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” “My Joy may be in you,” meaning my Holy Spirit, that it will live in you, He will live in you; “and that your joy may be full.” Why is this Good News for us? It is Good News because this is the best thing in the whole universe. There is nothing better than this. Every earthly thing that we are looking for, the solution to our problems; every distraction we are chasing after – games, sports, drugs, recreation, friendship, the Internet; everything that we desire, so that we think, “My life can proceed if all of this is sorted out – if my parents are well and my children are healthy, or whatever; even though we think all these things are what we need, the answer is actually this: The Holy Trinity. And until we come to that, we will never be happy, and never be complete. He says, “I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.” In other words, your joy will never be complete without the Holy Spirit. This is what we all long for, even though we might not realize it. This is what our hearts are yearning for, to be one with the Trinity. There is nothing – absolutely nothing – better than this. I’m going to end here now with a poem by Robert Southwell, a Jesuit martyr. In prison while awaiting his gruesome death, he wrote a poem – he scratched it on the wall – and in one of the stanzas… he suddenly just departed completely from his theme, and he said this: Gift better than Himself, God doth not know, Gift better than God no man can see; This gift doth here the giver given bestow, Gift to this gift let each receiver be: God is my gift, Himself He freely gave me, God’s gift am I, and none but God shall have me.   In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021

This I command you: love one another! May 7, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! “This I command you: love one another.” (John 15:17) Our Lady calls us to love one another, just as her Son does. Listen with the heart to her words. She will help us learn to love one another: October 2, 2014 “Dear children, With motherly love I implore you, love one another. May there be in your hearts, as my Son desired from the very beginning, love for the Heavenly Father and for your neighbor in the first place – above everything of this world. 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…” March 2, 2017 “Dear children, with motherly love I am coming to help you to have more love and that means more faith…. My children, pray, pray, pray with the heart, pray with love, pray with good works. Pray that everyone would come to know my Son, so that the world would change, that the world would be saved. With love live the words of my Son. Do not judge, instead love one another so that my heart could triumph. Thank you.” July 2, 2017 “Dear children… Love my Son above all and the whole world through Him. Never forget that each of your brothers, within himself, carries something precious – the soul. Therefore, my children, love all those who do not know my Son, so that through prayer and the love which comes through prayer, they may become better; that the goodness in them could win; that souls could be saved and have eternal life. My apostles, my children, my Son told you to love one another. May this be inscribed in your hearts and with prayer, try to live that love. Thank you. February 2, 2019 “Dear children,… As a mother I am saying to you: set out with me, love one another, and give witness. Do not be afraid, with your example, to defend the truth – the Word of God, which is eternal and never changes. My children, whoever acts in the light of merciful love and truth is always helped by Heaven and is not alone. Apostles of my love, may you always be recognized among all others by your hiddenness, love and radiance. I am with you. Thank you.” January 2, 2020 “Dear children, I know that I am present in your lives and in your hearts. I feel your love, I hear your prayers and direct them to my Son….My children, give to my Son love for your neighbors, give words of consolation, compassion and acts of justice to your neighbors. Everything that you give to others, apostles of my love, my Son accepts as a gift. I am also with you, because my Son desires for my love, as a ray of light, to bring your souls to life; for me to help you in the search for peace and eternal happiness. Therefore, my children, love one another, be united through my Son, be children of God who all together, with full, open and pure heart, pronounce the ‘Our Father’. And do not be afraid! Thank you.” Friday, October 5, 1984 To Jelena: “I love you. Love me, love one another.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021 PS.

As the Father loves me, so I also love you! May 6, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! Jesus said to his disciples: “As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete.” (John 15:9-11) Jesus continues to talk about His love, and the Father’s love, and how all that love needs to remain in our hearts! He is insistent that His followers remain in His love. And the way to remain in it is by keeping the Father’s commandments. Sometimes that sounds a bit heavy handed. Do what I say and I will love you! But, no, that is not what Jesus means. The commandments of the Father and of Jesus are not ways to control us. The commandments protect us. Living the commandments of God protect us from all the evil plots of the enemy. They steer us clear of all the things the devil has designed to hurt us, to lead us away from God, and to hurt others through us. The commandments defend us from the devil’s lies. The commandments are God’s love in action. They build the kingdom of God in us, through our choice to live them. By living the commandments we remain in the Father’s love. We remain in Jesus’ love. We live in that love! Pure joy!!! Our Lady spoke about these very things in this message: December 25, 2007 (Jakov) “Dear children! Today, in a special way I call you to become open to God and for each of your hearts today to become a place of Jesus’ birth. Little children, through all this time that God permits me to be with you, I desire to lead you to the joy of your life. Little children, the only true joy of your life is God. Therefore, dear children, do not seek joy in things of this earth but open your hearts and accept God. Little children, everything passes, only God remains in your heart. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Mother lived perfectly the way of love that Jesus speaks about in this Gospel. She kept the Father’s commandments, and filled her heart with the joy of remaining in the love of God. And she wants us to follow her in that way of love. She wants to lead us to the joy of life, which is God! She wants God to remain in our hearts!! She wants us to know that only God remains, only God has life, everything else passes. She stands with God, protecting us from the devil, and filling our lives with truth and love. We are the most blessed of children!! Never forget, the only true joy of our lives is God! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021

Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit. May 5, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! Jesus said to his disciples: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and every one that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you. Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.”  (John 15:1-8) In this Gospel, the message is clear. We must remain in Jesus and Jesus in us. We must stay in Jesus, as much as possible, through prayer, through penance, through love. Our Lady gave us the way to remain in Jesus in this message: July 25, 1998 “Dear children! Today, little children, I invite you, through prayer, to be with Jesus, so that through a personal experience of prayer you may be able to discover the beauty of God’s creatures. You cannot speak or witness about prayer, if you do not pray. That is why, little children, in the silence of the heart, remain with Jesus, so that He may change and transform you with His love. This, little children, is a time of grace for you. Make good use of it for your personal conversion, because when you have God, you have everything. Thank you for having responded to my call.” “Little children, in the silence of the heart, remain with Jesus, so that He may change and transform you with His love.”  There is no substitute for personal prayer, for prayer in silence where we converse with Jesus. There is no other way to remain grafted on the vine! Our Lady gave us a prayer to Jesus in which we ask for this gift, of remaining in Him. I share it with you now, because it is so very real, so very descriptive of our weaknesses and failures in this regard. We fail to remain with Jesus every day. But we can keep trying. We can turn back to prayer as many times as we slip from it. Jesus will always welcome us back: 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 peace 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 May we remain in Jesus and He in us, more and more!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021

Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid! May 4, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! Jesus said to his disciples: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” (John 14:27-28) Our Lady has come to us in Medjugorje as “The Queen of Peace!” She has been sent by the Father to bring us back into the peace that only God can give. The word peace occurs in hundreds of her messages. It is the reason she has come in this time. Our Lady wants us to receive the peace that only God can give. Jesus came to give us His peace, a peace that is not of this world. The peace that Jesus came to give us is the peace between each one of us and His Father. It is the re-establishment of peace between we humans and our Creator. That peace was lost from the very beginning, when Adam and Eve disobeyed the Father and took their lives into their own hands. They broke trust with God, and established the great divide. Though they had their freedom, they no longer had the loving intimacy of their Father God. They tried to guide themselves, and fell further and further away from His protective love and wisdom. Jesus became one of us in order to heal that divide and provide the path back into the Father’s embrace. And He did it! The way leads though His Death and Resurrection. As we follow Jesus, we receive that peace which is not of this world, the peace of God, the peace of a restored relationship with our loving Father-God. In that relationship, there can be no troubled hearts, no fear!! Our Lady wants us to find that path. Indeed, she had a big part in providing it! Here are a few messages in which she calls us to that path, to that peace that Jesus gives us. May these messages fill us with confidence and peace in God: June 25, 1987 “Dear children! Today I thank you and I want to invite you all to God’s peace. I want each one of you to experience in your heart that peace which God gives. I want to bless you all today. I am blessing you with God’s blessing and I beseech you, dear children, to follow and to live my way. I love you, dear children, and so not even counting the number of times, I go on calling you and I thank you for all that you are doing for my intentions. I beg you, help me to present you to God and to save you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” January 25, 2000 “Dear children! I call you, little children, to pray without ceasing. If you pray, you are closer to God and He will lead you on the way of peace and salvation. That is why I call you today to give peace to others. Only in God is there true peace. Open your hearts and become those who give a gift of peace and others will discover peace in you and through you and in this way you will witness God’s peace and love which He gives you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” December 25, 2002 “Dear children! This is a time of great graces, but also a time of great trials for all those who desire to follow the way of peace. Because of that, little children, again I call you to pray, pray, pray, not with words but with the heart. Live my messages and be converted. Be conscious of this gift that God has permitted me to be with you, especially today when in my arms I have little Jesus – the King of Peace. I desire to give you peace, and that you carry it in your hearts and give it to others until God’s peace begins to rule the world. Thank you for having responded to my call.” December 25, 2011 “Dear children! Also today, in my arms I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, for Him to give you His peace. Pray, little children, and witness so that in every heart, not human but God’s peace may prevail, which no one can destroy. It is that peace in the heart which God gives to those whom He loves. By your baptism you are all, in a special way called and loved, therefore witness and pray that you may be my extended hands to this world which yearns for God and peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” September 2, 2005 “Dear children, I, as a mother come to and am showing you how much your God, your Father loves you. And you? Where are you, my children? What takes the first place in your hearts? Why do you not put my Son in the first place? My Children, allow God’s blessings to fall upon you. Let God’s peace overcome you. Peace, that my Son gives, only He.” December 25, 2002 “Dear children! Today, on the day of love and peace, with Jesus in my arms, I call you to prayer for peace. Little children, without God and prayer you cannot have peace. Therefore, little children, open your heart so that the King of Peace may be born in your heart. Only in this way, you can witness and carry God’s peace to this peaceless world. I am with you and bless you with my motherly blessing.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021  

Be carriers of the Gospel in your families! May 3, 2021 SS Philip and James, Apostles Dear Family of Mary! “Dear children! Also today I call you to be carriers of the Gospel in your families. Do not forget, little children, to read Sacred Scripture. Put it in a visible place and witness with your life that you believe and live the Word of God. I am close to you with my love and intercede before my Son for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (January 25, 2006) I have recently become aware of how important the Scriptures are for me in my spiritual life. I have always loved and prayed with the Scriptures. But they are becoming a real window into the heart and mind of God in these days. Denis and I pray together each day and often ask the Lord to give us a scripture during that prayer. It seems that almost every time, the passage we open to in the Bible is helpful for us. God loves to speak to us through the Scriptures. There are so many layers of meaning, so much to learn from each little section of the Bible!! The more we pray with the Scriptures, the more we can carry them to our families. We will be thinking about what we have read and prayed over, and it will give the Holy Spirit room to enlighten us even more. God’s word is best explained by God Himself!! The Holy Spirit can explain a scripture so well!! You just have to ask! And then you can share that understanding with your family! Really, the Bible needs to be our best friend. Lately, when I pick up the Bible to read something, I feel drawn to kiss the from cover, as if it is my best friend! That is how much I love the Word of God!! It feeds my soul. I think Our Lady wants us to be constantly feed by God’s Word in the Scriptures. She told us: “Dear children! Pray, pray, pray for the radiance of your prayer to have an influence on those whom you meet. Put the Sacred Scripture in a visible place in your families and read it, so that the words of peace may begin to flow in your hearts. I am praying with you and for you, little children, that from day to day you may become still more open to God’s will. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (January 25, 2014) May the words of peace, the Sacred Scriptures, begin to flow in our hearts ever more and more!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

I am placing all of you in my Immaculate Heart April 30, 2021 St. Pius V Dear Family of Mary! Again, the April 25, 2021 message: “Dear children! Today I am calling you to witness your faith in the colors of spring. May this be a faith of hope and courage. May your faith, little children, not waver in any situation, not even in this time of trial. Go courageously with the risen Christ towards Heaven, which is your goal. I am accompanying you on this way of holiness and am placing all of you in my Immaculate Heart. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (April 25, 2021) I am accompanying you on this way of holiness and am placing all of you in my Immaculate Heart. Our Mother is extremely good at accompanying. She accompanied Jesus throughout His infancy and childhood. Her prayerful and loving attention to Jesus’ every need must have been such a comfort and security to Jesus as He grew up. She accompanied Jesus during His entire public ministry, quietly attending to His needs and the needs of His followers. She was so in tune with the Father’s will, that she could anticipate Jesus’ needs and always be a help to Him as the way became more and more contentious. But it was at the Passion of Our Lord that Mary’s accompaniment was most perfect, most powerful and most needed. For only she understood what was really happening during those terrible hours of suffering. Only she could help Jesus with her prayers of assent to the the Father’s will. Only she could deny her own desires and choose what God desired at that moment, the complete offering of Jesus’ life for the sake of the world. And now she is accompanying us in our lives, with that same perfection of love. She is praying for us that we will accept and live the Father’s will for our lives. She is uniting her prayers to ours, so that we can choose and travel the road to Holiness. And most importantly, she is placing each one of us in her Immaculate Heart!! It is in that Motherly Heart that we will be healed of all our wounds and scars from life, and made able to do God’s will. Thanks be to God, we have such a Mother!! Here is another Litany by St. John Henry Newman! A Litany to the Immaculate Heart of Mary!

Our Lady wants us to develop a relationship with Jesus, in which we actually go with Him. She wants us to follow Him so closely that we will be brought safely into the Heaven with Him. But staying close by the side of Jesus requires courage! Jesus stands as the Holy One, the Just One, the Merciful One, who will one day judge the nations. To follow Him takes courage! St. John Henry Newman wrote a beautiful Litany of the Resurrection, which calls upon Jesus as the Risen Lord who will lead us to Heaven. I find praying it stirs up my courage.
