“Be prayer for those who do not pray…” August 18, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! I have assembled several messages that all speak to the situation of our world today, and our role in healing that situation. We are called to “be prayer” for all those who do not pray. We are called to stand in their stead, and worship God in their name. We must be intercessors who stand in the gap. The most recent message, July 25, 2021, is Our Lady’s urgent plea to us to “be prayer.” But the other messages I have compiled carry the same urgency. Take them to prayer. Maybe use them as meditations for your Rosary. We need to listen to what our Lady is telling us, and with seriousness respond!! July 25, 2021 “Dear children! I am calling you to be prayer for all those who do not pray. Little children, witness with your lives the joy that you are mine and God will heed your prayers and give you peace in this peaceless world where pride and selfishness reign. Little children, you be generous and be the love of my love, so that pagans can feel that you are mine and convert to my Immaculate Heart. Thank you for having responded to my call.” February 25, 2014 “Dear children! You see, hear and feel that in the hearts of many people there is no God. They do not want Him, because they are far from prayer and do not have peace. You, little children, pray – live God’s commandments. You be prayer, you who from the very beginning said ‘yes’ to my call. Witness God and my presence and do not forget, little children: I am with you and I love you. From day to day I present you all to my Son Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.” April 25, 2014 “Dear children! Open your hearts to the grace which God is giving you through me, as a flower that opens to the warm rays of the sun. Be prayer and love for all those who are far from God and His love… I am with you and I intercede for all of you before my Son Jesus, and I love you with immeasurable love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” August 25, 2015 “Dear children! Also today I am calling you to be prayer. May prayer be for you the wings for an encounter with God. The world is in a moment of trial, because it forgot and abandoned God. Therefore you, little children, be those who seek and love God above all. I am with you and I am leading you to my Son, but you must say your ‘yes’ in the freedom of children of God. I intercede for you and I love you, little children, with an endless love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” July 25, 2017 “Dear children! Be prayer and a reflection of God’s love for all those who are far from God and God’s commandments. Little children, be faithful and determined in conversion and work on yourselves so that, for you, holiness of life may be truth; and encourage each other in the good through prayer, so that your life on earth may be more pleasant. Thank you for having responded to my call.” October 25, 2017 “Dear children! I am calling you to be prayer in this time of grace. You all have problems, afflictions, sufferings and lack of peace. May saints be models to you and an encouragement for holiness; God will be near you and you will be renewed in seeking through your personal conversion. Faith will be hope to you and joy will begin to reign in your hearts. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May 25, 2020 “Dear children! Pray with me for a new life for all of you. In your hearts, little children, you know what needs to be changed. Return to God and His Commandments, so that the Holy Spirit may change your lives and the face of this earth, which is in need of renewal in the spirit. Little children, be prayer for all those who do not pray; be joy for all those who do not see the way out; be carriers of light in the darkness of this peaceless time. Pray and seek the help and protection of the saints so that you also could yearn for Heaven and Heavenly realities. I am with you and am protecting and blessing all of you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021 PS. On Monday, August 16, I wrote about the setting sun in Medjugorje. It was in the form of a star. It looked like the miracle of the sun. But since then our tech experts have told me that it was the lens on the camera that was forming the light from the setting sun into a star shape. Good grief! I am so sorry for my mistake. But I stand by one thing, that Our Lady is our Star! The Star of David! And she is with us to lead us to Jesus, just like the Star of Bethlehem all those years ago. No apologies there!!! God bless!

Build the Kingdom of God in your hearts… August 17, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! Today’s Gospel begins with these words: Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of heaven. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.” When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For men this is impossible, but for God all things are possible….” (Mt 19:23-24) The Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Heaven!! This is our goal and our home forever! But how can we enter it? Jesus tells us that we cannot enter the Kingdom of God if we are rich. We presume He means if we are rich with money, power and prestige. This unholy threesome makes us feel like gods ourselves, without the True God. They create an illusion of a kingdom built by me for me. But it is an illusion for sure. But there is another aspect of this being rich without God. We can be rich in our own hearts, thinking only of our own gifts, talents, ideas, and preoccupations. We can be so rich in our own self that we don’t have room for God! This is also a danger. Our Lady speaks to us about the Kingdom of Heaven often. She wants us to firmly plant the Kingdom of God in our hearts and minds as our goal in life, the place we want to be forever! To plant that Kingdom, we must uproot our own inner kingdom and take ourselves off the throne of our lives. She told us: August 2, 2010 “Dear children! Today I call you, together with me, to begin to build the Kingdom of Heaven in your hearts; that you may forget that which is personal and, led by the example of my Son, think of what is of God. What does He desire of you? Do not permit satan to open the paths of earthly happiness, the paths without my Son. My children, they are false and last a short while. My Son exists. I offer you eternal happiness and peace and unity with my Son, with God; I offer you the Kingdom of God. Thank you.” She tells us to “forget that which is personal!” Forget the goals and desires of our own little imaginations. “Think of what is of God! What does He desire for you?” We need to embrace God’s gift of life, His future for each of us! That is what is most important! What does God desire??? She tells us: “Do not permit Satan to open the paths of earthly happiness, the paths without my Son.” If we are rich in earthly pleasures and goals, we will be numb to the beauty of Heaven. We will not see the power and glory of God, but only our own fleeting pleasures. Our Lady wants us to wake up to the eternal reality that awaits us! “I offer you eternal happiness and peace and unity with my Son, with God: I offer you the Kingdom of God!” Yes, Mother we want to enter that Kingdom. Please lead us to Jesus! And even if we are slow to choose and we find it hard to let go of the world or our own inner kingdom, please pray for us so that what is impossible for men, will be possible with God! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021

  “Like a star that wants to enlighten our path…” August 16, 2021 St. Stephen of Hungary Dear Family of Mary! Today I want to share a beautiful sign of hope that Our Lady gave to us yesterday during the Evening prayer of the Rosary in Medjugorje on the Feast of the Assumption, August 15, 2021!!! Mary TV was streaming the prayer, live, all over the world. And just before Apparition Time, there appeared in the setting sun a unique and beautiful sign. The sun took on the appearance of a huge six pointed star! It was very bright, and brilliant! You can see the sun in the picture above. It lasted for several minutes, and was very clear! (You can view the video of the Evening Rosary at this link: https://marytv.tv/evening-parish-rosary-2/?smid=iAlSwLs0DH4&slid=KzW0gpDRsDR ) The star had six points and resembled “The Star of David” which the Jewish people recognize as a sign of their special relationship with God. Our Lady is the greatest of stars for her people, having given birth to the Messiah. There is also this prophecy in Revelations 12: And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; (Rev 12: 1) Our Lady is that woman! And in Medjugorje she often gives signs in the sun, in the moon and in the stars! She especially uses the sun to get our attention and call us to prayer. Perhaps we were seeing one star in her crown! So this special sign, the sun in the form of a Star, was dramatic and prolonged. Then, in the prepared homily for the evening mass that followed (August 15, 2021) which followed, the young priest had these words for us about Our Lady: Mary’s Assumption is the best image of what is awaiting us on the Last Day. For that reason many of us go today on a pilgrimage to Marian Shrines, directing their eyes toward the one who God exalted and glorified in Heaven like no other creature and they ask for her intercession. Her image stands today, as well, glittering before us like the great sign from the Book of Revelation, “Like a star” that wants to enlighten our path and show us the right path to eternal beatitude for all of us pilgrims here on earth. Therefore let us direct our eyes toward her, toward her Son, that she constantly is pointing us to for all of us here in Medjugorje. But we are not called to be the so-called stars of this world, celebrities of this world who shine but are put out even faster. For while we are presently suffering under the pressure of earthly worries, and difficulties, let us not allow them to overpower us. But let us direct our eyes towards God, glorifying Him and praising Him like Mary did. Let us do that always, in spite of every thing. May our answer to all the challenges that may come be the sight full of hope and trust in the One who is leading and directing everything, and who in the end will turn everything unto good. Let us direct our eyes toward eternity, toward those enduring and never decaying things like Mary did. Let us follow her here on earth, her path of humility, surrender and service to God and others, so that we may one day be in Heaven with her and in communion with the Lord. Turn then most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and constantly direct us toward your Son. Praised be Jesus and Mary. (Homily on August 15, 2021, Medjugorje) Well you can see that Our Lady really wanted us to see in the sun, her image as the Star! She is the Star that will guide us into a new life. She has come to guide and lead us, much like the star led the wise men to the stable at Bethlehem. She is guiding us to Heaven, even as the world seems to be slipping into darkness. She will be our light! Praise God for this gift and may we stay very close to Mary in the days ahead, through prayer! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021

This time that is through me connected to heaven in a special way! August 14, 2021 St. Maximilian Kolbe Dear Family of Mary! May 25, 1996 “Dear children! Today I wish to thank you for all your prayers and sacrifices that you, during this month which is consecrated to me, have offered to me. Little children, I also wish that you all become active during this time that is through me connected to heaven in a special way. Pray in order to understand that you all, through your life and your example, ought to collaborate in the work of salvation. Little children, I wish that all people convert and see me and my son, Jesus, in you. I will intercede for you and help you to become the light. In helping the other, your soul will also find salvation. Thank you for having responded to my call.” On this last day of our novena, we celebrate St. Maximilian Kolbe, one of the most amazing Marian saints in history. St. Maximilian was given the light to truly understand the role that Our Lady has in salvation history. He constantly taught consecration to Mary, and tried to help people understand how much we need her. Everything he did, he did for her! This message (above) reminds me of St. Maximilian, in that he was always offering prayers and sacrifices for Our Lady’s intentions, and was totally consecrated to Mary. He understood very well that our lives and examples must collaborate in the work of salvation. He lived a life dedicated to reaching out to people around the world with the Gospel, and consecration to Mary. And he understood better than anyone how Our Lady connects us with heaven! Medjugorje is a special gift from God, a time that through Our Lady is connected to heaven in a special way!! We all feel it, and we know how desperately the entire world needs this connection with heaven through Our Lady. She is the only one who can protect us from the powers of hell, and defeat them. When we celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we celebrate our own victory! Like her we will one day enter heaven, if we follow her lead, and become filled with the Light of her Son Jesus, who loves us and saves us! Thank you, dearest Mother, for providing this time which through you is connected to Heaven in such a special way! Let us pray: The Assumption Novena Mary, Queen Assumed into Heaven, I rejoice that after years of heroic martyrdom on earth, you have at last been taken to the throne prepared for you in heaven by the Holy Trinity. Lift my heart with you in the glory of your Assumption above the dreadful touch of sin and impurity. Teach me how small earth becomes when viewed from heaven. Make me realize that death is the triumphant gate through which I shall pass to your Son, and that someday my body shall rejoin my soul in the unending bliss of heaven. From this earth, over which I tread as a pilgrim, I look to you for help. I ask for this favor: (Mention your request). When my hour of death has come, lead me safely to the presence of Jesus to enjoy the vision of my God for all eternity together with you. Amen Pray the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary and be filled with joy! And have a wonderful and joyous Feast Day of the Assumption tomorrow!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021

  Have more trust in God… August 13, 2021 Sts. Pontian and Hippolytus Dear Family of Mary! May 25, 2018 “Dear children! In this peaceless time, I am calling you to have more trust in God who is your Father in Heaven and who has sent me to lead you to Him. You, open your hearts to the gifts which He desires to give you and, in the silence of your heart, Adore my Son Jesus who has given His life so that you may live in eternity – where He desires to lead you. May your hope be the joy of a meeting with the Most High in everyday life. Therefore, I am calling you: do not neglect prayer because prayer works miracles. Thank you for having responded to my call.” It can be easy to forget that it is God the Father who has sent Our Lady to us in Medjugorje. These apparitions are not just Our Lady’s idea!! She comes to us under the authority of the Father! She is really His representative to us. Through her Motherly Heart He is calling us to Himself. She comes to lead us to Our Father in Heaven. And she knows the way! Her Assumption proves it!!  She knows what we need for this journey: open hearts that desire for the gifts which the Father wants to give us, silent hearts that can adore Her Son Jesus who died so that we might live in Heaven with Him, hopeful and joyful hearts that draw us into a daily meeting with the Most High, and prayerful hearts that work miracles, every day!! This amazing way of life will draw us into Heaven, where Our Lady waits for us!!! Let us pray: The Assumption Novena Mary, Queen Assumed into Heaven, I rejoice that after years of heroic martyrdom on earth, you have at last been taken to the throne prepared for you in heaven by the Holy Trinity. Lift my heart with you in the glory of your Assumption above the dreadful touch of sin and impurity. Teach me how small earth becomes when viewed from heaven. Make me realize that death is the triumphant gate through which I shall pass to your Son, and that someday my body shall rejoin my soul in the unending bliss of heaven. From this earth, over which I tread as a pilgrim, I look to you for help. I ask for this favor: (Mention your request). When my hour of death has come, lead me safely to the presence of Jesus to enjoy the vision of my God for all eternity together with you. Amen Pray the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary and be filled with joy! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021

I, your mother, am waiting for you there [in Heaven] because I am there. August 12, 2021 St. Jane Frances de Chantal Dear Family of Mary! Our Mother has been sent to us in these days, to bring us all back to God. She has one goal, Eternal Life in Heaven for each of her children…that is for all peoples of the earth. She has called us Apostles of her love, because she is sending us out to give her love to all those who need her so much. Many of us have gone to Medjugorje on pilgrimage and returned home with our baggage stuffed with Miraculous Medals, Rosaries, St. Benedict Medals, Crucifixes, Bibles, Holy Cards, prayer books, and all manner of holy stuff. Why? In order to share them with all our family members, neighbors, parish communities, and all those we meet each day. This is apostolic work, It is spreading the good news of the love of Jesus and Mary! It gives the Holy Spirit a way to touch so many others. Our Lady needs us as her Apostles in order to bring as many of her children to Heaven, where she waits for us. Her Assumption, glorious as it is, took her up into Heaven, away from those she loves so much. Though she visits us in Medjugorje, she needs us to help her reach her children all over the world and lead them back to Jesus and faith. Listen to her words: 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.” Mother, we long to join you in Heaven. We thank you for coming to Medjugorje to be with us, and we want to join you in Heaven as soon as we can. And we want to bring as many of your children with us as possible! Let us pray: The Assumption Novena Mary, Queen Assumed into Heaven, I rejoice that after years of heroic martyrdom on earth, you have at last been taken to the throne prepared for you in heaven by the Holy Trinity. Lift my heart with you in the glory of your Assumption above the dreadful touch of sin and impurity. Teach me how small earth becomes when viewed from heaven. Make me realize that death is the triumphant gate through which I shall pass to your Son, and that someday my body shall rejoin my soul in the unending bliss of heaven. From this earth, over which I tread as a pilgrim, I look to you for help. I ask for this favor: (Mention your request). When my hour of death has come, lead me safely to the presence of Jesus to enjoy the vision of my God for all eternity together with you. Amen Pray the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary and be filled with joy! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021

  I desire all to be saved and to be with me in Heaven! August 11, 2021 St. Clare Dear Family of Mary! In her messages, Our Lady speaks very convincingly about Heaven. Why? Because she is in Heaven, she is of Heaven, and it is from Heaven that she comes to visit us on earth. Heaven is real! We believe in Heaven. But Our Lady doesn’t need to make acts of faith about Heaven any more because she lives there. This Feast of the Assumption is our proclamation that she is there. We believe she is in Heaven!! In Medjugorje Our Lady comes to introduce us, her children, to the Heaven she knows so well. She knows that we will never understand what Heaven is like through words. There are no words to describe it to us. Our imaginations are limited by this little planet we inhabit. We simply can’t grasp what she knows so well. And even more perplexing, she knows the way to get to Heaven. She knows what we must do to finally enter into the reality she lives. She wants to help us, but she can only show us step by step. So she has been giving us messages that are designed to teach us the way. Here is one: November 27, 1986 “Dear children! Again today I call you to consecrate your life to me with love, so I am able to guide you with love. I love you, dear children, with a special love and I desire to bring you all to Heaven unto God. I want you to realize that this life lasts briefly compared to the one in Heaven. Therefore, dear children, decide again today for God. Only that way will I be able to show how much you are dear to me and how much I desire all to be saved and to be with me in Heaven. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (11/27/86) Our Lady loves us, and it is with her love that she will gently convince us to trust her and follow her lead. Then she will show us the way to travel, the things we need to do to enter Heaven. Mainly it seems it is by accepting the Love of God and the motherly love of Our Lady that we will find our way to Heaven! That is consecration! Such a sweet way! Let us pray: The Assumption Novena Mary, Queen Assumed into Heaven, I rejoice that after years of heroic martyrdom on earth, you have at last been taken to the throne prepared for you in heaven by the Holy Trinity. Lift my heart with you in the glory of your Assumption above the dreadful touch of sin and impurity. Teach me how small earth becomes when viewed from heaven. Make me realize that death is the triumphant gate through which I shall pass to your Son, and that someday my body shall rejoin my soul in the unending bliss of heaven. From this earth, over which I tread as a pilgrim, I look to you for help. I ask for this favor: (Mention your request). When my hour of death has come, lead me safely to the presence of Jesus to enjoy the vision of my God for all eternity together with you. Amen (Suggestion) Pray the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary and be filled with joy! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021

The Assumption! August 10, 2021 St. Lawrence Dear Family of Mary! Our Mother has come to be with us, in a miraculous and wonderful way, in Medjugorje. She comes to the visionaries, body and soul, from Heaven. She appears to them in her heavenly body, transformed by the Assumption into an immortal body which will live forever! She comes, so beautiful it is beyond description. And even though we, who are not visionaries, cannot see her, we can truly discern her presence. In Medjugorje we can feel her nearness, her love, in the peace and spiritual well being that surrounds us. Conversion is natural there, where heaven meets earth! Our Lady has told us so many times that she comes to be with us. Here is one such message: May 2, 2008 “Dear children, By God’s will I am here with you in this place. I desire that you open your hearts to me and to accept me as a mother. With my love I will teach you simplicity of life and richness of mercy and I will lead you to my Son. The way to Him can be difficult and painful but do not be afraid, I will be with you. My hands will hold you to the very end, to eternal happiness; therefore do not be afraid to open yourselves to me. Thank you… Our Lady is with us in Medjugorje! She has been sent by God! She wants to lead us to her Son, and hence to Heaven. We cannot be worried or afraid with Our Lady here with us! She will not leave us alone. Not for a moment! Thank you, Dearest Heavenly Father, for sending her to us in these most difficult days. Thank you for drawing Our Lady into heaven with You, and now sending her back to earth to help us! The Assumption Novena Mary, Queen Assumed into Heaven, I rejoice that after years of heroic martyrdom on earth, you have at last been taken to the throne prepared for you in heaven by the Holy Trinity. Lift my heart with you in the glory of your Assumption above the dreadful touch of sin and impurity. Teach me how small earth becomes when viewed from heaven. Make me realize that death is the triumphant gate through which I shall pass to your Son, and that someday my body shall rejoin my soul in the unending bliss of heaven. From this earth, over which I tread as a pilgrim, I look to you for help. I ask for this favor: (Mention your request). When my hour of death has come, lead me safely to the presence of Jesus to enjoy the vision of my God for all eternity together with you. Amen Pray the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary and be filled with joy! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021

The Assumption! August 9, 2021 St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross Dear Family of Mary! This week I would like to focus on the Assumption of Our Lady into Heaven. It is a very significant event! Our Lady went body and soul into heaven!!! This dogma was only proclaimed in 1950. But it is such good news for all of us. In an age where we disrespect our bodies in so many ways, the beauty of Our Lady’s pure and spotless body and soul stand in contradiction to the sad state of things for most human beings. She is our hope. I will present a message and a novena prayer for each day this week. The Feast Day is this coming Sunday, August 15. Our Lady said to us: February 2, 2016 “Dear children, I have called you and am calling you anew to come to know my Son, to come to know the truth. I am with you and am praying for you to succeed. My children, you must pray much in order to have all the more love and patience; to know how to endure sacrifice and to be poor in spirit. Through the Holy Spirit, my Son is always with you… His Church is born in every heart that comes to know Him. Pray that you can come to know my Son; pray that your soul may be one with Him. That is the prayer and the love which draws others and makes you my apostles. I am looking at you with love, with a motherly love. I know you; I know your pain and sorrows, because I also suffered in silence. My faith gave me love and hope. I repeat, the Resurrection of my Son and my Assumption into Heaven is hope and love for you. Therefore, my children, pray to come to know the truth; to have firm faith which will lead your heart and which will transform your pain and sufferings into love and hope. Thank you.” (02/02/2016) We are Our Lady’s hope. She needs us to realize the truth of Jesus’ Resurrection and her Assumption into heaven. These two events are our stability and roadmap for the future. Now more than ever we need them! The Assumption Novena Mary, Queen Assumed into Heaven, I rejoice that after years of heroic martyrdom on earth, you have at last been taken to the throne prepared for you in heaven by the Holy Trinity. Lift my heart with you in the glory of your Assumption above the dreadful touch of sin and impurity. Teach me how small earth becomes when viewed from heaven. Make me realize that death is the triumphant gate through which I shall pass to your Son, and that someday my body shall rejoin my soul in the unending bliss of heaven. From this earth, over which I tread as a pilgrim, I look to you for help. I ask for this favor: (Mention your request). When my hour of death has come, lead me safely to the presence of Jesus to enjoy the vision of my God for all eternity together with you. Amen Pray the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary and be filled with joy! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021
