“I am with you…” April 15, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! It has become more and more evident to me that Our Lady speaks to us quite literally. At least in this one way, she has been telling us the literal truth. Our Lady has told us “I am with you,” at least 233 times in her messages. And she has said it in other ways as well: I am coming to you, or I am by your side, or I am here… She wants us to know that she is with us. I used to think this was only true when she appeared to the visionaries. Of course she is with us then!! And yes, her presence during the apparitions is quite tangible. There is a peace that surrounds you when she comes, and sense of fresh air, of deep contentment, etc. These visits from Our Lady are amazing! But more and more I have become aware that Our Lady is not with us just at apparition time, but all the time! Recently I knelt down to pray during an apparition, connected by internet, and as I got down on my knees, I heard a very sweet voice remind me, “Don’t forget the rice on the stove!” I jumped up to turn off the rice before it burned, and then came back to the computer, and that was when I realized that the voice was not mine. I had completely forgotten the rice. It was Our Lady’s voice. She is with me! Since then, I have felt her very near. I think she wanted me to know she is near. She is with us all I believe, all of us who are living her call from Medjugorje. She is with us! Our Lady needs us to be her extended hands, her helpers in these days. She is ready to work through us for the conversion of souls, so much in need of God’s love. Well, I want to share with you a little litany consisting of some of the things Our Lady has said to us over the years about her presence among us. It won’t be exhaustive, because there are hundreds of times she has spoken of her presence. But it may give us peace and a sense of security to know that she is with us, each one of us! A litany of Our Lady’s Presence: This message sets the stage for us. Our Lady is with us for this reason: January 25, 1987 The first apparition of the 25th of the month, given to Marija, for the parish: “Today I want to appeal to all of you to start living a new life from this day on. Dear children, I wish that you would understand that God has chosen each one of you to have a part in the great plan for the salvation of mankind. You cannot fully understand how great your role is in God’s design. For that reason, pray, dear children, so that through prayer, you may be able to know your role in God’s plan. I am with you, so that you may be able to realize it fully. The Litany of Our Lady’s Presence. You can respond “Thank you for being with me!”: I am with you and I want you to believe me, that I love you. I am with you and I am rejoicing because of your conversion and I am protecting you with my motherly mantle. Little children, do not be afraid, because I am with you even if you think there is no way out and that satan is in control. I am bringing peace to you, I am your mother, the Queen of Peace. I am with you and I intercede for you in front of God, so watch in vigil, so that every encounter in prayer be the joy of your contact with God. I am with you and unceasingly keep watch over every heart which is given to me. I am with you and I intercede for you every day before God. Children, I am with you and I want to introduce you continuously to the joy of life. I am with you and I wish to teach you to pray with the heart. 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. I am with you and I desire, dear children, that each one of you be ever closer to my heart. I am with you and I desire to help you to grow in renunciation and mortification, that you may be able to understand the beauty of the life of people who go on giving themselves to me in special way. I am with you and I desire to lead you along the same path to heaven, which is beautiful for those who discover it in prayer. I am with you and I am protecting you even though satan wishes to destroy my plans and to hinder the desires which the Heavenly Father wants to realize here. I am with you and I desire to help you with my prayers and I desire to guide you on the path of peace. I am with you and day after day I offer your sacrifices and prayers to God for the salvation of the world. I am with you and I accompany you with my blessing and my prayers. I am with you and I am grateful to God for every moment spent with you. Dear children, I am with you and I desire to help each of you to live and by living, to witness the good news. I am here, dear children, to help you and to lead you to heaven, and in heaven is the joy through which you can already live heaven now. Dearest Mother, our lives have been changed by your presence with us. We are your children, now, in a very real way. Please do not leave us. Help us to grow in our awareness of your presence in our everyday lives. We want to help you in the great plan for the salvation of mankind that the Father has given to you and through you, to us. May your heart be our guide and your motherly presence be our strength! Amen (I will continue this litany tomorrow…We need to really understand that Our Lady is here with us!) In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2021    

  For God so loved the world… April 14, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! The Gospel for today is John 3: 16-21. St. John makes it clear that Jesus was given to us by the Father, as the sign of His endless love and forgiveness. Jesus was given to us to turn our hearts back to Him, with trust and belief! And Jesus completed His task perfectly, making it completely clear that we are loved, so completely loved, by God. It should make us weep to think that anyone could reject this love. But it seems we do. Let’s contemplate St. John’s words with hearts open to this mystery of love by which we are saved: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does what is true comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been wrought in God.” (John 3:16-21) Our Lady spoke to our poor, darkened hearts in this message from 2016. God has not given up on us yet. He is sending Our Lady to again awaken faith and love in our hearts: March 25, 2016“Dear children! Today I am carrying my love to you… God permitted me to love you and, out of love, to call you to conversion.. You, little children, are poor in love and you still have not comprehended that my Son Jesus, out of love, gave His life to save you and to give you eternal life. Therefore pray, little children, pray so that in prayer you may comprehend God’s love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Mother, open our hearts! Open them to your love, so that we will begin to learn what love is. Then draw us to the love of your Son, Jesus, and teach us to really see it as well, and finally accept it completely. Our hearts are so constricted and sick that we need you to heal them with your love and then open them to the endless love of your Son, Jesus. Then we will truly be saved. In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!

  A New Birth from Above! April 13, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! From the Gospel for today: “Jesus said to Nicodemus: ‘You must be born from above.’” (John 3: 7 ) Nicodemus doesn’t understand how this can happen. What is being born from above? Yesterday he asked Jesus: “How can a man once grown old be born again? Surely he cannot reenter his mother’s womb and be born again, can he?” No we can’t do that. But the birth Jesus wants for us is even more complete, it has to do with being reborn in the Holy Spirit! It is what happens when we are baptized and confirmed! It happens when we convert and are prayed over for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Being born from above is being born into the life of the Holy Spirit! When we receive the Holy Spirit, we receive all the gifts we need to follow Jesus and live the life of a child of God on earth. The Holy Spirit gives us new eyes to see, new ears to hear, what God is doing and saying to us! The Holy Spirit changes everything!! Our Lady told us: November 2, 2007″Dear children, Today I call you to open your hearts to the Holy Spirit and permit Him to transform you. My children, God is the immeasurable good and therefore, as a mother, I implore you: Pray, pray, pray, fast and hope that it is possible to achieve good, because from that good love is born. The Holy Spirit will strengthen that love in you and you will be able to call God your Father. Through this exalted love, you will truly come to love all people and, through God, you will regard them as brothers and sisters. Thank you.” Our Lady tells us that the Holy Spirit can transform us! Transform!! ” I call you to open your hearts to the Holy Spirit and permit Him to transform you.” That means that everything in us can be touched by the powerful love of the Holy Spirit, and everything will be healed and changed by His coming. This transformation is what it means to be born from above!! We are made new!! Every molecule of our body, every part of our soul is regenerated in the love of God! Jesus told Nicodemus: “You must be born from above…” Must be!! There is no other way to enter the Kingdom of God! We must be transformed through a new birth in the Holy Spirit!! Our Lady wants this for us. Let’s ask her to pray with us for this new birth! Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen. In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2021  

  To be born from above… April 12, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! Filled with the joy of Divine Mercy, we now enter into the Easter Season, with our eyes on the Ascension of the Lord and Pentecost. So many graces are approaching!! Today we read the Gospel of John Chapter 3: 1-8, in which Jesus teaches Nicodemus about the Kingdom of God and being “Born from above!” Jesus speaks to each of us in this Gospel: There was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. He came to Jesus at night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one is born from above, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man once grown old be born again? Surely he cannot reenter his mother’s womb and be born again, can he?” Jesus answered, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I told you, ‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” (John 3:1-8) Of course this conversation was an enigma for poor Nicodemus. It wasn’t until Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit fell upon the Apostles, that Jesus’ words began to make sense. But Jesus knew that He had to prepare the Apostles and disciples for that day. We all need to be born again, born anew in Jesus’ Spirit. Our Lady encouraged us to look for this new birth in this message: June 2, 2010 “Dear Children; Today I call you with prayer and fasting to clear the path in which my Son will enter into your hearts. Accept me as a mother and a messenger of God’s love and His desire for your salvation. Free yourself of everything from the past which burdens you, that gives you a sense of guilt, that which previously led you astray in error and darkness. Accept the light. Be born anew in the righteousness of my Son. Thank you.” Jesus desires to give us new birth in the Spirit. We cannot understand Him without the Holy Spirit opening our minds to the things from above. Let’s get used to the fact that our earthly logic is not enough, and let Mary, our Mother, open our hearts to the things from above! To do this, we must do as she tells us: Clear the path for Jesus to enter our hearts, accept Our Lady as our mother and a messenger from God, repent of all sins, let go of all habits of sin, and accept the light of Christ. Then, on Pentecost we will be ready for our new birth!! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2021

Divine Mercy Sunday April 11, 2021 Divine Mercy Sunday Dear Family of Mary! Today, we have recourse to the inconceivable depths of Jesus’ Divine Mercy, flowing from His wounded Heart. Jesus desires that we come to Him today with complete trust, opening our hearts and souls to the love of Jesus, and He will heal us. Jesus, Himself, told us through St. Faustina, what He longed to give to us on the Feast of Divine Mercy: During prayer I head these words within me: The two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls…These two rays issued forth from the very depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross. These rays shield souls from the wrath of My Father. Happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him. I desire that the first Sunday after Easter be the Feast of Mercy. (299) On one occasion, I heard these words: My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the Fount of My Mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. Everything that exists has come forth from the very depths of My most tender mercy. Every soul in its relation to Me will contemplate My love and mercy throughout eternity. The Feast of Mercy emerged from My very depths of tenderness. It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy. (699) Our Lady once said to us: “My children, Jesus loves you and gives you the grace to live in His mercy, but sin has overtaken many of your hearts and you live in darkness. Therefore, my children, do not wait, say ‘no’ to sin and surrender your hearts to my Son, because only in this way will you be able to live God’s mercy and, with Jesus in your hearts, set out on the way of salvation.” (12/25/2012 – Jakov) May we open our hearts to the complete forgiveness of sins from Jesus today, and with deep trust throw ourselves upon His Mercy! Now we pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet: You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us. (Repeat 3 times) O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You. Our Father, Hail Mary and the Apostle’s Creed For each of the five decades (On each “Our Father” bead of the rosary, pray Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world. (On each of the 10 “Hail Mary” beads, pray) For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Concluding prayer (Repeat 3 times) Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Closing Prayer Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself. In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2021 PS.  Mary TV will stream – Live – Holy Mass celebrated in the Divine Mercy Chapel in Surmanci at the 3:00 Hour in Medjugorje!

Saturday of Easter Week April 10, 2021 Saturday of Easter Week Divine Mercy Novena – Day 9 Dear Family of Mary! Today we pray for all souls who are lukewarm. These are souls who barely care about God and who live their lives in a forgetful fog. They do not know where they are going or why, because they do not recognize God as God, and do not desire Him. They are indifferent to everything spiritual. We could say that our materialistic, hedonistic cultures create such souls, by distracting them from their true destiny, and convincing them that this life is all that matters. Our Lady spoke about such souls in this message: “Dear children! Today also I am calling you to live and follow with a special love all the messages which I am giving you. Dear children, God does not want you lukewarm and undecided, but that you totally surrender to Him. You know that I love you and that out of love I long for you. Therefore, dear children, you also decide for love so that you will long for and daily experience God’s love. Dear children, decide for love so that love prevails in all of you, but not human love, rather God’s love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (November 20, 1986) Our Lady offers a way to heal our indifferent and lukewarm hearts in this message. Her messages are a helping hand into the real world of faith and love. She is with us to guide us into the true reality of life with God! No more indifference for us! Jesus spoke to St. Faustina about lukewarm souls as well: 367. + On one occasion, Jesus gave me to know that when I pray for intentions which people are wont to entrust to me, He is always ready to grant His graces, but souls do not always want to accept them: My Heart overflows with great mercy for souls, and especially for poor sinners. If only they could understand that I am the best of Fathers to them and that it is for them that the Blood and Water flowed from My Heart as from a fount overflowing with mercy. For them I dwell in the tabernacle as King of Mercy. I desire to bestow My graces upon souls, but they do not want to accept them. You, at least, come to Me as often as possible and take these graces they do not want to accept. In this way you will console My Heart. Oh, how indifferent are souls to so much goodness, to so many proofs of love! My Heart drinks only of the ingratitude and forgetfulness of souls living in the world. They have time for everything, but they have no time to come to Me for graces. Indifference and lukewarm faith are rampant in our time. This last day is a plea for prayer for countless souls who have no idea what road they are on. To be lukewarm is to deny the future, to deny eternal life and the reality of Heaven and Hell. To be lukewarm is worse than being dead. As Jesus said in scripture: “I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing; not knowing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. Therefore I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may be rich, and white garments to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and chasten; so be zealous and repent.” (Rev 3:15-19) Divine Mercy is the source of all those things we lack – gold, garments, and salve. Divine Mercy can make up for all we lack in holiness and fervor for the Lord. We need to turn to God’s mercy and surrender completely to Him now, before it is too late. Divine Mercy Novena, Day Nine: Today bring to Me SOULS WHO HAVE BECOME LUKEWARM and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: ‘Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be Your will.’ For them, the last hope of salvation is to run to My mercy. Most compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pure love, let these tepid souls, who, like corpses, filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love, and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your power. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross: Let them, too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy. Amen. Now we pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet:  Here is a link to directions on how to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet (by the Marians of the Immaculate Conception in Stockbridge, Massachusetts): PS. Tomorrow is the great Feast of Divine Mercy! May we celebrate this day with all our hearts! It is the Day of Mercy for all souls. Divine Mercy Novena Day 8: Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ARE DETAINED IN PURGATORY, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice. Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet, who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of Purgatory, that there, too, the power of Your mercy may be celebrated. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded: Manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion. Amen. Now we pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet: You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us. (Repeat 3 times) O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You. Our Father, Hail Mary and the Apostle’s Creed For each of the five decades (On each “Our Father” bead of the rosary, pray Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

Friday of Easter Week April 9, 2021 Easter Friday Divine Mercy Novena – Day 8 Dear Family of Mary! Today we pray for the Souls in Purgatory. The Souls in Purgatory need our prayers and sacrifices. They can no longer pray for themselves. And they ardently long to be united with the Lord in Heaven. We, the Church Militant can pray for them! Our Lady once told us: “Dear children! Today I wish to call you to pray daily for souls in purgatory. For every soul prayer and grace is necessary to reach God and the love of God. By doing this, dear children, you obtain new intercessors who will help you in life to realize that all the earthly things are not important for you, that only Heaven is that for which it is necessary to strive. Therefore, dear children, pray without ceasing that you may be able to help yourselves and the others to whom your prayers will bring joy. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (November 6, 1986) St. Faustina understood this call to pray for the Souls in Purgatory. It was one of her chief missions on earth. The souls would even visit her, asking for prayer. What a friend she was to the souls in Purgatory: 692. + O Jesus, I understand that Your mercy is beyond all imagining, and therefore I ask You to make my heart so big that there will be room in it for the needs of all the souls living on the face of the earth. O Jesus, my love extends beyond the world, to the souls suffering in purgatory, and I want to exercise mercy toward them by means of indulgenced prayers. God’s mercy is unfathomable and inexhaustible, just as God Himself is unfathomable. Even if I were to use the strongest words there are to express this mercy of God, all this would be nothing in comparison with what it is in reality. O Jesus, make my heart sensitive to all the sufferings of my neighbor, whether of body or of soul. O my Jesus, I know that You act toward us as we act toward our neighbor. My Jesus, make my heart like unto Your merciful Heart. Jesus, help me to go through life doing good to everyone. (Diary, 692) May we take St. Faustina’s example to heart and pray for the souls in Purgatory with love! Divine Mercy Novena Day 8: Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ARE DETAINED IN PURGATORY, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice. Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet, who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of Purgatory, that there, too, the power of Your mercy may be celebrated. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded: Manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion. Amen. Now we pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet: You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us. (Repeat 3 times) O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You. Our Father, Hail Mary and the Apostle’s Creed For each of the five decades (On each “Our Father” bead of the rosary, pray Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

Thursday of Easter Week April 8, 2021 Thursday of Easter Week Divine Mercy Novena, Day 7 Dear Family of Mary! Today we pray for those who venerate and extol the Mercy of the Lord! It is a joyous day!! Our Lady longs for all her children to extol and venerate the Mercy of her Son. She said to us: “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.” (November 25, 2010) Jesus tells St. Faustina how much He loves those who extol His Mercy: April 4, 1937. Low Sunday; that is, the Feast of Mercy. In the morning, after Holy Communion, my soul was immersed in the Godhead. I was united to the Three Divine persons in such a way that when I was united to Jesus, I was simultaneously united to the Father and to the Holy Spirit, My soul was flooded with joy beyond understanding, and the Lord gave me to experience the whole ocean and abyss of His fathomless mercy. Oh, if only souls would want to understand how much God loves them! All comparisons, even if they were the most tender and the most vehement, are but a mere shadow when set against the reality. When I was united to the Lord, I came to know how many souls are glorifying God’s mercy. When I went for adoration, I heard these words: My beloved daughter, write down these words, that today My Heart has rested in this convent [the Cracow house]. Tell the world about My mercy and My love. The flames of mercy are burning me. I desire to pour them out upon human souls. Oh, what pain they cause Me when they do not want to accept them!  My daughter, do whatever is within your power to spread devotion to My mercy. I will make up for what you lack. Tell aching mankind to snuggle close to My merciful Heart, and I will fill it with peace. Tell [all people], My daughter, that I am Love and Mercy itself. When a soul approaches Me with trust, I fill it with such an abundance of graces that it cannot contain them within itself, but radiates them to other souls.  Souls who spread the honor of My mercy I shield through their entire lives as a tender mother her infant, and at the hour of death I will not be a Judge for them, but the merciful Savior. At that last hour, a soul has nothing with which to defend itself except My mercy. Happy is the soul that during its lifetime immersed itself in the Fountain of Mercy, because justice will have no hold on it.  Write this: Everything that exists is enclosed in the bowels of My mercy, more deeply than an infant in its mother’s womb. How painfully distrust of My goodness wounds Me! Sins of distrust wound Me most painfully. (1073 – 1076 Diary) Let us pray: Divine Mercy Novena, Day 7 Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ESPECIALLY VENERATE AND GLORIFY MY MERCY and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over my Passion and entered most deeply into My spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death. Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your mercy. These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy; and united to You, O Jesus, they carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy, and their hearts, overflowing with joy, sing a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God:  Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them that during their life, but especially at the hour of death, the souls who will venerate this fathomless mercy of His, He, Himself, will defend as His glory. Amen Now we pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet: You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us. (Repeat 3 times) O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You. Our Father, Hail Mary and the Apostle’s Creed For each of the five decades (On each “Our Father” bead of the rosary, pray Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world. (On each of the 10 “Hail Mary” beads, pray) For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Concluding prayer (Repeat 3 times) Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Closing Prayer Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself. In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2021
