October 28, 2020 Reflection – 100 years!

Queen of Peace, pray for us! October 28, 2020 St. Simon and St. Jude Dear Family of Mary! ”Dear children! Currently, I am calling you to return to God and to prayer. Invoke the help of all the saints, for them to be an example and a help to you. Satan is strong and is fighting to draw all the more hearts to himself. He wants war and hatred. That is why I am with you for this long, to lead you to the way of salvation, to Him who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Little children, return to the love for God and He will be your strength and refuge. Thank you for having responded to my call.” “Satan is strong and is fighting to draw all the more hearts to himself. He wants war and hatred.” Our Lady has told us many times over the years that she was sent by God to be with us and to help us in this time of intense spiritual warfare. Satan is strong, she tells us. We can see it for ourselves. He is inciting riots, protests, desecrations of churches, and anger between factions all over the world. He wants us to hate each other. It doesn’t really matter what the issue is, he just wants us to hate each other and war against each other. On the contrary, Our Lady is the Queen of Peace. She has come to bring us peace and to draw closer and closer to God. Through the Five Stones, she has been building holiness in us, so that we can become peace makers. And she has been teaching us to love others, to pray for others, and to serve. I believe that there is a decisive moment approaching. As Sr. Lucia said, the devil is in the mood for a decisive battle, one in which one side will win and the other will lose. I read a post that Fr. Richard Heilman wrote today, in which he points out that Pope Leo XIII had prophesied that there would be 100 years in which Satan would be unbound. Fr. Heilman said that it could be that that 100 years began in October of 1920, when Russia legalized abortion. Russia was the first country to do this horrible thing. And that act allowed Satan to rush in to our world. Abortion is the portal through which he could come in power and begin his 100 year reign. Since then, abortion has been spread all over the world. And today we see the results. Abortion gives power to Satan. It is his anti-sacrament. So today, we see the battle at its most intense. Fr. Heilman also remarked that Amy Coney Barrett’s appointment to the Supreme Court on October 26, 2020 may be the signal that the 100 years Satan’s rule of terror in the world is ending. This October 2020 marks 100 years since the legalization of abortion in Russia in October of 1920. Maybe now the tide will turn, and mankind will come back to sanity. Maybe now the accuser of the brethren will be cast out. Maybe the 100 years of Satan’s rule will be over. But he will not leave without a last full-out attack. We do not know the plans of God. But our job now is to return to God, every day. Pray with all our hearts, every day. Call on all the Saints every day. Pray our Rosaries every day! Love our families, our neighbors, our co-workers, our parishes. Be peace, like Jesus and Mary are peace. And stay very close to Our Lady. She will be our safety. Let’s do as she has said: “Dear children! Today I call you especially now to advance against Satan by means of prayer. Satan wants to work still more now that you know he is at work. Dear children, put on the armor for battle and with the Rosary in your hand defeat him! Thank you for having responded to my call.” (August 8, 1985) In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2020 PS. Here is the link to Fr. Heilman’s article. I encourage you all to read it: Fr.

October 27, 2020 Reflection – Invoke ALL the Saints!

On the Most Holy Rosary! October 27, 2020 Dear Family of Mary! ”Dear children! At this time, I am calling you to return to God and to prayer. Invoke the help of all the saints, for them to be an example and a help to you. Satan is strong and is fighting to draw all the more hearts to himself. He wants war and hatred. That is why I am with you for this long, to lead you to the way of salvation, to Him who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Little children, return to the love for God and He will be your strength and refuge. Thank you for having responded to my call. ” (October 25, 2020) “Invoke the help of all the saints, for them to be an example and a help to you!” As I read this message for the first time, I was immediately struck with this sentence about invoking the help of ALL the saints. I felt that Our Lady was saying something important. That she wanted us to call on ALL the saints, every last one of them, because we need the entire Host of Heaven to fight with us in this most important time. We need ALL the saints to intercede with us to the Father for the salvation of souls. We need ALL the saints to do spiritual warfare with us, because this battle is with the devil himself. We need ALL the saints to join us in praying for the conversion of those who do not yet know the love of Jesus. We need ALL the saints to join us under the leadership of Our Lady, for her triumph!! And I am sure that ALL the saints are standing at the ready, hoping that we will call on them now! They want to be good examples for us, showing us how to be faithful to God, no matter what situation we are in. They want to encourage us when we are suffering, or when we are tired out from the fight. They want to pray for graces for us. They want to surround us with their presence and the presence of the angels. This battle we are in today is a spiritual battle. We need the Church Triumphant to fight with us! Let’s pray together the Litany of the Saints. It is long, but we need the protection of ALL the Saints!! The Litany of the Saints Lord, have mercy on us. Christ have mercy on us. Lord, have mercy on us. Christ, hear us, Christ, graciously hear us. God, the Father of heaven, have mercy on us. God the Son, Redeemer of the world, have mercy on us.

”Dear children, At this time, I am calling you to return to God and to prayer. Invoke the help of all the saints, for them to be an example and a help to you. Satan is strong and is fighting to draw all the more hearts to himself. He wants war and hatred.

October 24, 2020 Update from Denis – My Children, Listen to me!

Ivanka, Mirjana, and Marija encounter Our Lady! (c)Mary TV “Again, little children, I call you not to be deaf but to comprehend my call, which is salvation for you.” “My children, listen to me, I speak for your salvation!” October 24, 2020 Dear Apostles of Our Lady of Medjugorje, I remember an earlier time when confusion reigned in the church. Medjugorje was under attack – and not just from Communists.  When asked what he wanted to have happen in Medjugorje, the local Ordinary replied, “Simple. I want Medjugorje destroyed.” At that time a bishop close to Pope John Paul ll came to Medjugorje.  I saw his personal connection to Holy Father providing a way for Medjugorje’s protection.   When I told this to the visionary Ivanka, who among the visionaries probably knows the most about the future, she replied, “Denis! Trust only God!” With emotion pointing to the sky she repeated, “Denis, trust only God!” Tomorrow God is giving Our Lady another message for us. In her last message she told us: “Dear children! I am with you for so long because God is great in His love and in my presence…God loves you and is sending me to save you and the earth on which you live!” Let’s continue praying for Amy Coney Barrett (see again my October 12th Update) and get ready to receive Our Lady’s message tomorrow!

On Sunday, October 25, 2020 we will receive a new message from Our Lady of Medjugorje! I can’t wait! But in preparation, we can review one more time the message from September! It has been very fruitful to pray over this message this month. Here it is once more: “Dear children! I am with you for so long because God is great in His love and in my presence. I am calling you, little children: return to God and to prayer. May the measure of your [way of] living be love and do not forget, little children, that prayer and fasting work miracles in you and around you. May everything you do be for the glory of God, and then Heaven will fill your heart with joy and you will feel that God loves you and is sending me to save you and the earth on which you live. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (September 25, 2020) Thank you, dearest Mother, for being with us for so long!! Yes, God is great in His Love, and He is present in a very great way in you and through you!! Thank you also for your motherly advice for us, to return to God and to prayer, to measure our lives by love, to understand that fasting and prayer work miracles, and that we must live for the glory of God!  We are so blessed to have you as our Mother!! Thank you for coming to save us and our poor earth, through God’s love. These are words to rely upon.  And we do!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2020 PS. I also have a small practical announcement: On Sunday, October 25, 2020, Medjugorje (and most of Europe) goes off of Daylight Saving Time! The clocks will fall back one hour on Sunday there. But in many other countries the time does not change until November 1. So, for that one week, there will be some adjustments.

October 22, 2020 Reflection – St. John Paul II!

On the Most Holy Rosary! October 22, 2020 St. John Paul II, Pope Dear Family of Mary! Today we celebrate the Feast of St. John Paul II, our beloved Pope who brought us into the 3rd Millennium with such great hope and faith. Fondly do we remember his brilliant pastoral encyclicals and letters. He fed our hearts, our souls, and our minds with the Faith. And he accompanied us through many tremendous difficulties and challenges in the world. He was a true father to us all. Today I would like to share a short excerpt from his letter: ROSARIUM VIRGINIS MARIAE- On the Most Holy Rosary! In these most difficult moments of the world and of the Church, we need to hear his fatherly voice, encouraging us to grasp the Rosary and pray with deep faith. I also am including a link to the entire text so that you may read it. Our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, relied on the Rosary his entire life. Our Lady brought him through unimaginable difficulties and challenges with grace and strength. She will do the same for us. Paragraph 40 and the conclusion of paragraph 42 from “On the Most Holy Rosary”: Peace The grave challenges confronting the world at the start of this new Millennium lead us to think that only an intervention from on high, capable of guiding the hearts of those living in situations of conflict and those governing the destinies of nations, can give reason to hope for a brighter future. The Rosary is by its nature a prayer for peace, since it consists in the contemplation of Christ, the Prince of Peace, the one who is “our peace” (Eph 2:14). Anyone who assimilates the mystery of Christ – and this is clearly the goal of the Rosary – learns the secret of peace and makes it his life’s project. Moreover, by virtue of its meditative character, with the tranquil succession of Hail Marys, the Rosary has a peaceful effect on those who pray it, disposing them to receive and experience in their innermost depths, and to spread around them, that true peace which is the special gift of the Risen Lord (cf. Jn 14:27; 20.21). The Rosary is also a prayer for peace because of the fruits of charity which it produces. When prayed well in a truly meditative way, the Rosary leads to an encounter with Christ in his mysteries and so cannot fail to draw attention to the face of Christ in others, especially in the most afflicted. How could one possibly contemplate the mystery of the Child of Bethlehem, in the joyful mysteries, without experiencing the desire to welcome, defend and promote life, and to shoulder the burdens of suffering children all over the world? How could one possibly follow in the footsteps of Christ the Revealer, in the mysteries of light, without resolving to bear witness to his “Beatitudes” in daily life? And how could one contemplate Christ carrying the Cross and Christ Crucified, without feeling the need to act as a “Simon of Cyrene” for our brothers and sisters weighed down by grief or crushed by despair? Finally, how could one possibly gaze upon the glory of the Risen Christ or of Mary Queen of Heaven, without yearning to make this world more beautiful, more just, more closely conformed to God’s plan? In a word, by focusing our eyes on Christ, the Rosary also makes us peacemakers in the world. By its nature as an insistent choral petition in harmony with Christ’s invitation to “pray ceaselessly” (Lk 18:1), the Rosary allows us to hope that, even today, the difficult “battle” for peace can be won. Far from offering an escape from the problems of the world, the Rosary obliges us to see them with responsible and generous eyes, and obtains for us the strength to face them with the certainty of God’s help and the firm intention of bearing witness in every situation to “love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony” (Col 3:14). In Conclusion (42.): May this appeal of mine not go unheard! At the start of the twenty-fifth year of my Pontificate, I entrust this Apostolic Letter to the loving hands of the Virgin Mary, prostrating myself in spirit before her image in the splendid Shrine built for her by Blessed Bartolo Longo, the apostle of the Rosary. I willingly make my own the touching words with which he concluded his well-known Supplication to the Queen of the Holy Rosary: “O Blessed Rosary of Mary, sweet chain which unites us to God, bond of love which unites us to the angels, tower of salvation against the assaults of Hell, safe port in our universal shipwreck, we will never abandon you. You will be our comfort in the hour of death: yours our final kiss as life ebbs away. And the last word from our lips will be your sweet name, O Queen of the Rosary of Pompei, O dearest Mother, O Refuge of Sinners, O Sovereign Consoler of the Afflicted. May you be everywhere blessed, today and always, on earth and in heaven”. Read the entire letter here: “On the Most Holy Rosary” St. John Paul II, pray for us!! Be near to us!! Guide us!!

October 21, 2020 Reflection – A Litany of Praise to Jesus!

  Glory to You, Lord Jesus!   October 21, 2020 Dear Family of Mary! “Dear children! I am with you for so long because God is great in His love and in my presence.

Thank you for having responded to my call.” (September 25, 2020) “May everything you do be for the glory of God!!” I would like to share a beautiful “Litany of Praise to Jesus” which I think will help us to grow in our awareness of the Glory of God and give us a boost in living our lives for God’s Glory.

October 20, 2020 Reflection – The Glory of God!

The Glory of God!   October 20, 2020 St. Paul of the Cross, priest Dear Family of Mary! “Dear children! I am with you for so long because God is great in His love and in my presence. I am calling you, little children: return to God and to prayer. May the measure of your [way of] living be love and do not forget, little children, that prayer and fasting work miracles in you and around you. May everything you do be for the glory of God, and then Heaven will fill your heart with joy and you will feel that God loves you and is sending me to save you and the earth on which you live. Thank you for having responded to my call.” September 25, 2020 “May everything you do be for the glory of God, and then Heaven will fill your heart with joy and you will feel that God loves you and is sending me to save you and the earth on which you live.” What does this mean: May everything you do be for the Glory of God.  I must say that I have lost track of this sentiment in my daily life!  But doesn’t the Deacon say at the end of Holy Mass: “Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life.”  Certainly, this work of glorifying the Lord is important, even central to our lives.  How could I forget it? It occurs to me that if I lived in such a way that everything I did was for the glory of the Lord, then I would be constantly aware that somehow my behavior was a proclamation and a demonstration of how Good and Great and Wonderful God is!!  Each moment could become a moment lived in the awareness that God is with me, and I am with Him, and I have the opportunity in each moment to give God the praise and thanks He is due, through my actions, my words, my thoughts, my prayers, and my desires.  I would no longer be a “lone ranger” operating on my own behalf in a world that only belongs to me.  I would be already in Heaven in that I would be present to God as He is present to me! Maybe that is why Our Lady continued in the message saying, “then Heaven will fill your heart with joy, and you will feel that God loves you…”  Living in the desire to glorify God in everything would naturally bring me into His presence, since I would be offering everything to Him as a gift.  And then, I would receive the joy of Heaven in return, the Love of God. Well it sounds like a lovely way to live.  Always living for the Glory of the Lord!! Notice that the end of that sentence says: “you will feel that God loves you and is sending me to save you and the earth on which you live.” When our hearts are filled with heaven, we see things from a different perspective.  We see God acting in our poor world.  We see what He is doing.  And what He is doing is amazing.  He is saving us and our measly planet through the coming of Our Lady.  This is her Triumph.  This is her time.  And we are called to help her, by living our lives for the Glory of the Lord! “May everything you do be for the glory of God, and then Heaven will fill your heart with joy and you will feel that God loves you and is sending me to save you and the earth on which you live.” Let’s start practicing this way of living today.  Before we begin a task, while we are doing the task, at the end of the task, may we offer it for the Glory of the Lord!  It will make our every moment deeply meaningful and sweetly humble! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2020          

October 19, 2020 Reflection – Grasp the Rosary!

  Grasp the Rosary!   October 19, 2020 St. John de Brebeuf, St. Isaac Jogues, priests and martyrs Dear Family of Mary! “Dear children! Today, like never before, I invite you to prayer. Let your prayer be a prayer for peace. Satan is strong and desires to destroy not only human life, but also nature and the planet on which you live. Therefore, dear children, pray that through prayer you can protect yourselves with God’s blessing of peace. God has sent me among you so that I may help you. If you so wish, grasp for the rosary. Even the rosary alone can work miracles in the world and in your lives. I bless you and I remain with you for as long as it is God’s will. Thank you for not betraying my presence here and I thank you because your response is serving the good and the peace.”  (January 25, 1991) In 1991 the war in Bosnia/Hercegovina was looming.  It would break out in full force in 1992.  But Our Lady was preparing her children for this coming time of trial.  How did she prepare them?  Through prayer for peace.  Through dependence on God.  Through the prayer of the Rosary.  Through her Motherly presence.  And though it was a terrible trial, in the end Medjugorje was spared violence, and peace was established. This message can also prepare us for the time ahead.  We also face uncertainties in our nations and cities.  But the remedy is the same.  We can listen to Our Lady’s messages and live them now, just as the villagers did in 1991. Living Our Lady’s messages helps others as well as ourselves.  Our prayers are not about politics, they are about mercy.  Our prayers are for peace. Peace is the one thing necessary right now.  The frenzy that the enemy of our souls is stirring up is deadly.  It will do great damage.  Our Mother brings peace, which is the beginning of a great reform of her children.  Her peace is the peace of a heart at one with Jesus, a heart in complete harmony with Jesus’ heart.  That is the remedy. Those who live in Our Lady’s heart become those who bring peace to others.  The Rosary is a prayer of peace, a prayer that brings calm to the soul and trust to the heart and mind.  In that peace, holiness is born, conversion happens, hope erupts, and true love is revealed.  The prayers of the Rosary are perfect prayers, conveying to those who pray them everything they need. The Rosary is a peace prayer because it refers everything to the Trinity and to Our Lady.  It is the platform for peace, which is what is needed today. Pray for the whole world!  Pray the Rosary for peace. “If you so wish, grasp for the Rosary. Even the Rosary alone can work miracles in the world and in your lives…” In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!
