  Fear not, you are of more value than many sparrows…   October 16, 2020 St. Hedwig, Religious St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, Virgin Dear Family of Mary! Our Gospel for today: In the meantime, when so many thousands of the multitude had gathered together that they trod upon one another, he began to say to his disciples first, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed or hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. “I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear him! “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.” (Luke 12:6-7) These words from the Gospel for today were spoken by Jesus in the midst of the chaos that surrounded Him, as he taught the people.  You can imagine how difficult it was for Jesus and the disciples to deal with all the factions that were swirling around them.  But Jesus was able to sort everything out and speak words that stopped everyone in their tracks. Certainly, Jesus speaks about the whole mess from the perspective of His Father.  Not one thing that was said about Jesus, from whatever quarter, would go unheard.  The Father hears everything, even the thoughts of our hearts. So if there was someone to fear it would be that Someone who knows everything about each human being, what we think, what we have said, or what we have plotted against others, how we have schemed and how we have betrayed others.  That is the one to fear. But on the other hand, that same Someone, Jesus tells us, has counted the hairs on our heads and beholds us with the tender love of a Father, wanting only the best for us.  In the hands of such a Father, there is nothing to fear. Clearly if we live with a constant awareness of the Love of the Father in Heaven, we will be aware that we are always beheld by Him.  And in that loving gaze, we will be safe, and we will behave ourselves!! Our Lady says to us: July 25, 1996 “Dear children! Today I invite you to decide every day for God. Little children, you speak much about God, but you witness little with your life. Therefore, little children, decide for conversion, that your life may be true before God, so that in the truth of your life you witness the beauty God gave you. Little children, I invite you again to decide for prayer because through prayer, you will be able to live the conversion. Each one of you shall become in the simplicity, similar to a child which is open to the love of the Father. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May we all be similar to a child which is open to the love of the Father! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan © Mary TV 2020      

Let nothing disturb you…   October 15, 2020 St. Teresa of Jesus (Avila), Virgin, Doctor of the Church Dear Family of Mary! It seems that we are living in a very disturbing and frightening time.  I could list the many fears and concerns we all have, but it would not be helpful.  We all know the dangers and uncertainties that face us.  But we also know that we have a God who loves us completely.  There is no possibility that we could run far enough to be outside of His loving embrace.  He will never leave us alone. But there are times when we don’t feel God’s love, and our minds cannot convince us that He is near.  There are times when we are tested and need to recommit ourselves to the Lord by exercising our faith.  We do believe in the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth.  We do believe in Jesus Christ, His only Begotten Son.  We do believe in the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete.  Those moments of sheer faith are precious to God and to us.  It is at those moments that we solidify our deep commitment to the Lord and show Him that we trust Him. Today is the Feast Day of St. Teresa of Jesus, the great Carmelite Mystic who wrote so purely about the Lord, and how to find Him through prayer.  But there is one prayer/poem that she wrote that captures the sheer power of faith in God in such a simple way, that it quells all fear.  In so few words, St. Teresa said so much.  It is good to pray this prayer often, especially when we are being tried by the difficulties of our lives. Here is the prayer by St. Teresa of Avila: Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you, all things will pass away. God never changes; patience obtains all things, whoever has God lacks nothing. God alone suffices. Amen. God alone suffices.  This is the bottom line.  Do we believe in His love at the bottom of our fears and uncertainties? Our Lady gave us a message that is similarly helpful for those moment of fear and the need for faith: “Dear Children! As a mother, I implore you, open your heart and offer it to me, and fear nothing. I will be with you and will teach you how to put Jesus in the first place. I will teach you to love Him and to belong to Him completely. Comprehend, dear children that without my Son there is no salvation. You should become aware that He is your beginning and your end. Only with this awareness can you be happy and merit eternal life. As your mother, I desire this for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” March 18, 2002 God is our beginning and our end.  He is our future and our past.  He is our present.  His love will never change for us.  With God we will never lack.  He is enough.  Our Lady lived this beautiful faith each day of her earthly life, and she knows it is true.  Mother please pray for us to follow you into that complete faith in your Son. Jesus, I trust in You. May our hearts rest in the love of our Lord. In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2020    

Come Holy Spirit!   October 14, 2020 St. Callistus I Dear Family of Mary! In the first reading at Mass today, St. Paul teaches us what fruits are of the Holy Spirit and what fruits are not: “Brothers and sisters: If you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God. In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.”  (Gal 5: 18-25) Our Lady has called us to pray to the Holy Spirit so that He will fill us with His gifts and fruits.  Here is one message: “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.”  (May 25, 2000) It is important that we ask for the gifts of the Holy Spirit so that we can produce the fruits!!  The world so needs people of love, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…  People who each day become closer to their fellow man.  May we become those people, as we cling to Our Lady and the Holy Spirit.  They will help us to bring the peace that is so needed in these days. Let us pray: Veni Creator Spiritus Come, Holy Spirit, Creator, come From your bright heavenly throne, Come, take possession of our souls, And make them all your own. You who are called the Paraclete, Best gift of God above, The living spring, the living fire, Sweet unction and true love. You who are sev’nfold in your grace, Finger of God’s right hand; His promise, teaching little ones To speak and understand. O guide our minds with your blest light, With love our hearts inflame; And with your strength, which ne’er decays, Confirm our mortal frame. Far from us drive our deadly foe; True peace unto us bring; And through all perils lead us safe Beneath your sacred wing. Through you may we the Father know, Through you th’eternal Son, And you the Spirit of them both, Thrice-blessed Three in One. V. Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful R. And kindle in them the fire of your love. V.  Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created R. And you will renew the face of the earth. Let us pray. Lord, by the light of the Holy Spirit you have taught the hearts of your faithful. In the same Spirit help us to relish what is right and always rejoice in your consolation. We ask this through Christ our Lord. R. Amen. In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2020    

October 13, 2020 103rd Anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima Dear Family of Mary! Today we remember the great sign given at Fatima, the miracle of the sun which proved that Our Lady was present.  Our Lady initiated a plan for the salvation of souls at Fatima, hoping to stem the devasting attack that Satan had launched against mankind in the 20th Century.  Though there were many who responded, it was not enough to stop the enemy and that century was to be the most violent and turbulent century yet for mankind. But as you will see in this message from August, 1991, God did not give up on us!  He continued to pour out His Mercy, now through sending our Mother, Mary, to another poor, rural village, this time in Hercegovina!  Our Lady’s presence in Medjugorje was to be the continuation of the plan for salvation that was begun in Fatima: “Dear Children! Today also I invite you to prayer, now as never before when my plan has begun to be realized. Satan is strong and wants to sweep away my plans of peace and joy and make you think that my Son is not strong in His decisions. Therefore, I call all of you, dear children, to pray and fast still more firmly. I invite you to self-renunciation for nine days so that, with your help, everything that I desire to realize through the secrets I began in Fatima, may be fulfilled. I call you, dear children, to now grasp the importance of my coming and the seriousness of the situation. I want to save all souls and present them to God. Therefore, let us pray that everything I have begun be fully realized. Thank you for having responded to my call.”  (August 25, 1991) Now, in 2020, we are gathered around Our Lady of Medjugorje, to continue this call to prayer and sacrifice, so that the secrets begun in Fatima may be realized.  Let us not flag in zeal now, not now!  We must remain firm! It helps me to hear these words of prophecy from Sr. Lucia of Fatima given to Fr. Fuentes in 1957: “Father, the Most Holy Virgin did not tell me that we are in the last times of the world (‘Last times’ isn’t necessarily the same as ‘end of the world’), but She made me understand this for three reasons: “The first reason is because She told me that the devil is in the mood for engaging in a decisive battle against the Virgin.  And a decisive battle is the final battle where one side will be victorious and the other side will suffer defeat.  Also from now on we must choose sides.  Either we are for God or we are for the devil.  There is no other possibility. “The second reason is because She said to my cousins as well as to myself that God is giving two last remedies to the world.  These are the Holy Rosary and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  These are the last two remedies, which signify that there will not be others. “The third reason is because in the plans of Divine Providence God always, before He is about to punish the world, exhausts all other remedies. “The two means to save the world are prayer and sacrifice.  Look, Father, the Most Holy Virgin, in these last times in which we live, has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Holy Rosary.  She has given this efficacy to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all, spiritual, in the private life of each one of us, of our families, of the families of the world, of the religious communities or even of the life of peoples and nations, that cannot be resolved through the prayer of the Rosary.  There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve through the recitation of the Holy Rosary.  Through the Holy Rosary we will save ourselves.  We will sanctify ourselves.  We will console Our Lord and obtain the salvation of many souls.  Finally, devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Our Mother, consists in considering Her as the seat of mercy, of goodness and of pardon and as the sure door through which we are to enter Heaven.”  (See P.S.) Today, may we turn with faith to Our Lady and commit ourselves to her plan.  May we pray the Rosary with faith, throughout the day!  May we offer little sacrifices for the sake of souls.  And may we pray with great hope that Our Lady’s plan will be fulfilled!! “Therefore, let us pray that everything I have begun be fully realized.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2020 P.S. On December 26, 1957, Sr. Lucia gave this testimony to Father Augustine Fuentes, postulator of the cause for the beatification of the Fatima visionaries, Francisco and Jacinta.  Though published in 1957 with the approval of ecclesiastical authority, two years later its dissemination was suppressed.  (The Fourth Secret of Fatima, Antonio Socci, Loreto Publications, 2009, pp. 99 – 102).    

Rejoice in the Lord who has created you! (Youth Festival 2020) October 12, 2020 Dear Family of Mary! Today there are many things of consequence happening.  But I feel that what Our Lady needs from us is not to be worried, upset, depressed, frightened, or despondent.  She isn’t asking us to carry the world on our shoulders.  Enough for us are the small crosses we bear out of love.  Our Lady is with us, and her presence is our security!  We should fear nothing. Listen to these words that she gave to us ten years ago: “Dear children! May this time be a time of personal prayer for you, so that the seed of faith may grow in your hearts; and may it grow into a joyful witness to others. I am with you and I desire to inspire you all: grow and rejoice in the Lord who has created you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”  (January 25, 2010) I believe Our Lady still wants us to live this message today.  Personal prayer, seeds of faith, a joyful witness, the inspiration of Our Lady, and a rejoicing heart!  She sounds very much like St. Paul who wrote to the Philippians: Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand. Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do; and the God of peace will be with you.  (Phil 4: 4-9) I believe that if we live this way, we will help Our Lady in her plans for us and for the world, and we will then be helping Jesus as well.  We will be the lights He needs to shine in this darkened world. Keep these things in your hearts and pray with joyful faith!! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2020          

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!     October 9, 2020 St. Denis, Bishop and Martyr And His Companions, Martyrs Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady has accepted our consecration on October 7, but I still feel the deep desire to pray for the grace to live our consecration.  Our Lady gave us this message in 2004: “Dear children! Also today, I urge you to consecrate yourselves to my Heart and to the Heart of my Son Jesus. Only in this way will you be mine more each day and you will inspire each other all the more to holiness. In this way joy will rule your hearts and you will be carriers of peace and love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (May 25, 2004) Our Lady wants us to live our consecration, “more each day.”  She wants us to be hers on a daily basis!  And so we must remain conscious of our decision.  We need to be reminded each day that we have given ourselves to our Mother in a special way.  Our lives are no longer our own. I think we need to read the messages from Our Lady a little bit each day, in order for her desires for us to be fresh in our minds. This is a good way to live our consecration, by listening to Our Lady’s words to us.  Since we are devoted to Mary, we naturally need to hear from her!! (Reuben Purchase has been very helpful in showing us how to remember Our Lady’s desires for us, as a way to live our consecration.  You can listen to his reflections on Mary TV at this link. https://marytv.tv/from-the-heart/) I also discovered this beautiful consecration prayer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and I find it so timely and powerful that I thought I would share it with you.  This is a prayer we could pray every day to help us move forward more and more each day.  It was written by Pope Pius XI, and is so timely and spot on about the spiritual battles we are in today: A Solemn Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Most Holy Virgin Mary, tender Mother of men, to fulfill the desires of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the request of the Vicar of Your Son on earth, we consecrate ourselves and our families to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, O Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and we recommend to You, all the people of our country and all the world. Please accept our consecration, dearest Mother, and use us as You wish to accomplish Your designs in the world. O Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and Queen of the World, rule over us, together with the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, Our King. Save us from the spreading flood of modern paganism; kindle in our hearts and homes the love of purity, the practice of a virtuous life, an ardent zeal for souls, and a desire to pray the Rosary more faithfully. We come with confidence to You, O Throne of Grace, and Mother of Fair Love. Inflame us with the same Divine Fire which has inflamed Your own Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart. Make our hearts and homes Your shrine, and through us, make the Heart of Jesus, together with your rule, triumph in every heart and home. Amen.  –Venerable Pope Pius XI Thank you everyone, for saying yes to Our Lady’s call from Medjugorje.  We will see one day how important it has been that we respond to Our Lady’s call!!| In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!

https://www.lepantoin.org/novena-to-our-lady-of-victory/ (source of this picture of the battle of Lepanto, Our Lady of Victory)   October 7, 2020 Our Lady of the Rosary Dear Family of Mary! Today is the day that the Mary TV shipmates and our friends, under the guidance of Fr. Leon, will make our Consecration to Jesus through Mary, according to St. Louis de Montfort!  Starting on September 4, each day for 33 days we have prayed in preparation for this consecration.  You can view the videos of the daily prayers at this link: https://marytv.tv/consecration-to-jesus-through-mary/ If you were not able to pray with us, you can always do the prayers yourself, using these videos!!  It is very powerful! Our Lady said to us in Medjugorje: “Dear children! Today I am very happy because there are many who want to consecrate themselves to me. Thank you. You have not made a mistake. My Son, Jesus Christ, wishes to bestow on you special graces through me. My Son is happy because of your dedication. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May 17, 1984 Today we pray the Consecration Prayer, making our promises to Jesus through Mary!  Here is the prayer! Consecration Prayer to Jesus through Mary – St. Louis de Montfort O Eternal and incarnate Wisdom! O sweetest and most adorable Jesus! True God and true man, only Son of the Eternal Father, and of Mary, always virgin! I adore Thee profoundly in the bosom and splendours of Thy Father during eternity; and I adore Thee also in the virginal bosom of Mary, Thy most worthy Mother, in the time of Thine incarnation. I give Thee thanks for that Thou hast annihilated Thyself, taking the form of a slave in order to rescue me from the cruel slavery of the devil. I praise and glorify Thee for that Thou hast been pleased to submit Thyself to Mary, Thy holy Mother, in all things, in order to make me Thy faithful slave through her. But, alas! Ungrateful and faithless as I have been, I have not kept the promises which I made so solemnly to Thee in my Baptism; I have not fulfilled my obligations; I do not deserve to be called Thy child, nor yet Thy slave; and as there is nothing in me which does not merit Thine anger and Thy repulse, I dare not come by myself before Thy most holy and august Majesty. It is on this account that I have recourse to the intercession of Thy most holy Mother, whom Thou hast given me for a mediatrix with Thee. It is through her that I hope to obtain of Thee contrition, the pardon of my sins, and the acquisition and preservation of wisdom. Hail, then, O immaculate Mary, living tabernacle of the Divinity, where the Eternal Wisdom willed to be hidden and to be adored by angels and by men! Hail, O Queen of Heaven and earth, to whose empire everything is subject which is under God. Hail, O sure refuge of sinners, whose mercy fails no one. Hear the desires which I have of the Divine Wisdom; and for that end receive the vows and offerings which in my lowliness I present to thee. I, N_____, a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today in thy hands the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before. In the presence of all the heavenly court I choose thee this day for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and consecrate to thee, as thy slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future; leaving to thee the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to thy good pleasure, for the greater glory of God in time and in eternity. Receive, O benignant Virgin, this little offering of my slavery, in honour of, and in union with, that subjection which the Eternal Wisdom deigned to have to thy maternity; in homage to the power which both of you have over this poor sinner, and in thanksgiving for the privileges with which the Holy Trinity has favoured thee. I declare that I wish henceforth, as thy true slave, to seek thy honour and to obey thee in all things. O admirable Mother, present me to thy dear Son as His eternal slave, so that as He has redeemed me by thee, by thee He may receive me! O Mother of mercy, grant me the grace to obtain the true Wisdom of God; and for that end receive me among those whom thou lovest and teachest, whom thou leadest, nourishest and protectest as thy children and thy slaves. O faithful Virgin, make me in all things so perfect a disciple, imitator and slave of the Incarnate Wisdom, Jesus Christ thy Son, that I may attain, by thine intercession and by thine example, to the fullness of His age on earth and of His glory in Heaven. Amen. ——————————- Sign your name here. ——————- Date   Congratulations to all who have participated in this wonderful 33 days of prayer!!  May Our Lady of the Rosary, (Our Lady of Victory), take us into her most motherly care, and bring us safely into the harbour of Heaven! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2020  

October 6, 2020 St. Bruno Dear Family of Mary! Today’s Gospel is one of my favorites!  It is a very good image for us when we approach prayer. Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha ­welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me.” The Lord said to her in reply, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.”  Luke 10:38-42 With Jesus present in the house, Martha chose to get busy about many things, while Mary chose to focus completely on Jesus, the Guest.  That evening with Jesus was a once in a lifetime!  And Mary got it.  It wasn’t about the duty of hosting Him, it was about listening to Jesus and taking in His presence. Our Lady has tried to help us get this lesson straight in her messages.  She has asked us many times to “choose [Jesus] before everything and above everything…”  She has said, “put God in the first place in your life…”  She knows that we can fall into the trap of serving Jesus without first listening to and relating to Jesus.  When we do that, we lose our connection with our Savior, and soon can get quite lost. Here are five message that may help us to examine our choices, and renew our desire to choose the better part: January 25, 1990 “Dear children! Today I invite you to decide for God once again and to choose Him before everything and above everything, so that He may work miracles in your life and that day by day your life may become joy with Him. Therefore, little children, pray and do not permit satan to work in your life through misunderstandings, the non-understanding and non-acceptance of one another. Pray that you may be able to comprehend the greatness and the beauty of the gift of life. Thank you for having responded to my call.” March 25, 1996 “Dear children! I invite you to decide again to love God above all else. In this time when due to the spirit of consumerism one forgets what it means to love and to cherish true values, I invite you again, little children, to put God in the first place in your life. Do not let satan attract you through material things but, little children, decide for God who is freedom and love. Choose life and not death of the soul, little children, and in this time when you meditate upon the suffering and death of Jesus I invite you to decide for life which blossomed through the Resurrection, and that your life may be renewed today through conversion that shall lead you to eternal life. Thank you for having responded to my call…” December 25, 2006 “Dear children! Also today I bring you the newborn Jesus in my arms. He who is the King of Heaven and earth, He is your peace. Little children, no one can give you peace as He who is the King of Peace. Therefore, adore Him in your hearts, choose Him and you will have joy in Him. He will bless you with His blessing of peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” July 25, 1996 “Dear children! Today I invite you to decide every day for God. Little children, you speak much about God, but you witness little with your life. Therefore, little children, decide for conversion, that your life may be true before God, so that in the truth of your life you witness the beauty God gave you. Little children, I invite you again to decide for prayer because through prayer, you will be able to live the conversion. Each one of you shall become in the simplicity, similar to a child which is open to the love of the Father. Thank you for having responded to my call.” June 25, 1997 “Dear children! Today I am with you in a special way and I bring you my motherly blessing of peace. I pray for you and I intercede for you before God, so that you may comprehend that each of you is a carrier of peace. You cannot have peace if your heart is not at peace with God. That is why, little children, pray, pray, pray, because prayer is the foundation of your peace. Open your heart and give time to God so that He will be your friend. When true friendship with God is realized, no storm can destroy it. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Tomorrow we will make our Consecration to Jesus through Mary!  Fr. Leon has led us in the 33 Day Consecration!  He has done a wonderful job.  Let’s pray in thanksgiving for his service to us in guiding us towards Jesus!! May we all choose the better part today and tomorrow and always! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan © Mary TV 2020
