A time of silence and prayer… (c) Anthony Zubac 2019   January 29, 2019 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady has spoken about silence before. At least 18 times. We know that Our Lady is a silent soul. We hear her speak only a few times in the Scriptures. And we imagine that she was as silent interiorly as she was outwardly. And so, when she tells us that this is a time of silence and prayer, we want very much to listen to her and say yes to it. “Dear children! Today, as a mother, I am calling you to conversion. This time is for you, little children, a time of silence and prayer…” (January 25, 2019) Our Lady gave a similar message to St. Faustina in Advent of 1936. Here is the beautiful advice Our Lady gave to St. Faustina about silence: November 29, [1936]. The Mother of God has taught me how to prepare for the Feast of Christmas. I saw Her today, without the Infant Jesus. She said to me: My daughter, strive after silence and humility, so that Jesus, who dwells in your heart continuously, may be able to rest. Adore Him in your heart; do not go out from your inmost being. My daughter, I shall obtain for you the grace of an interior life which will be such that, without ever leaving that interior life, you will be able to carry out all your external duties with even greater care. Dwell with Him continuously in your heart. He will be your strength. Communicate with creatures only in so far as is necessary and is required by your duties. You are a dwelling place pleasing to the living God; in you He dwells continuously with love and delight. And the living presence of God, which you experience in a more vivid and distinct way, will confirm you, my daughter, in the things I have told you. Try to act in this way until Christmas Day, and then He Himself will make known to you in what way you will be communing and uniting yourself with Him. That Advent was a time for St. Faustina to experience the presence of Jesus in her heart. It is almost as if Our Lady was allowing Faustina to see what it was like to carry Jesus inside, much like Our Lady carried Him as her preborn baby. That Advent was a time for St. Faustina to give Jesus a place to rest. A place to be loved. A place to be adored. A place to feel affection and kindness. A place to be accepted and worshiped. St. Faustina was given the grace to be aware of Jesus in a special and intimate way. Again, this is the kind of awareness that a pregnant mother has of her little child. Only a mother knows the constant companionship that takes place between them, when for nine months that child rests in the mother’s womb. It is this kind of indwelling that bonds the child and mother. As Our Lady said to Faustina: “You are a dwelling place pleasing to the living God, in you He dwells continuously with love and delight.” Wow! This is amazing!! Maybe Our Lady wants us to grow more silent and prayerful so that we can give Jesus a place to rest in us. Maybe she wants Jesus to have just such an intimate relationship with us, a time of silence and prayer that will bond us to Jesus forever! “Dear children! Today, as a mother, I am calling you to conversion. This time is for you, little children, a time of silence and prayer…” May it be so! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2019

In the warmth of your heart…. (c) Anthony Zubac 2019   January 28, 2019 St. Thomas Aquinas, Priest and Doctor of the Church Dear Family of Mary! Today I want to share the homily for English Mass given by Fr. Maximilian Dalve on Saturday, January 26, 2019. Fr. Max speaks brilliantly about the heart in this homily, explaining much of what Our Lady says to us in this message: “Dear children! Today, as a mother, I am calling you to conversion. This time is for you, little children, a time of silence and prayer. Therefore, in the warmth of your heart, may a grain of hope and faith grow and you, little children, will from day to day feel the need to pray more. Your life will become orderly and responsible. You will comprehend, little children, that you are passing here on earth and you will feel the need to be closer to God, and with love you will witness the experience of your encounter with God, which you will share with others. I am with you and am praying for you but I cannot without your ‘yes’. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Here is the homily! January 26, 2019 English Homily by Fr. Maximilian Dalve Reading the letters that St. Paul wrote to Timothy and Titus, all those pastoral letters (they are known as pastoral letters) we see the beautiful relationship that occurs between Paul and his collaborators. He had a certain paternity towards them, he felt fatherly love towards them. He would encourage them, correct them. To Timothy he said to take a little bit more wine for his sickness! So, we know that the health of Timothy was not always the best and that he was also a little bit timid. So, he would have to receive a spirit of power and strength, not of weakness. And he even speaks about the faith of his grandmother and his mother. It is beautiful. We see their warm relationship, familial relationship. Now when I studied in Rome to prepare for the priesthood, we were told by the professors that the authority and paternity in the letters to Timothy and Titus was not of St. Paul. Somebody else wrote them. And this exegete made this theory, very strongly. If you said that it seems very much that St. Paul wrote it, they would dismiss you as a simpleton. You don’t understand high exegetes who make these beautiful and deep insights. Nonsense, it is so obvious that St. Paul wrote it. They deny it is St. Paul because they say that the Church was already too well structured. But it was 20 years already for St. Paul. How much can change in 20 years! So, out of some futile reason they make a big thesis, big like a mountain, but they stand it on two toothpicks. Sooner or later, many times they collapse. But these teachings gave us seminarians deep uncertainty. So, as we studied in Rome, we told our founder that if we pass the test after all these studies and keep our faith, we are safe!! Nothing will be able to destroy our faith. How is this possible? Because to study intellectually, without prayer, leads necessarily to pride and haughtiness. And truth can never stand without humility. It needs a basic humility, at least. Without it people go astray. There are some great authors who wrote centuries ago, and today. Just think of St. Thomas Aquinas. We celebrate him shortly. Or think of Pope Benedict XVI. His writings are high theology with deep truth combined. But it is not always the case. If we want to get further instructions, we must be very careful what we are reading. It is not by only studying the Bible. We may go away from the truth. Think of it. People studying the Bible even made new churches! So how can this go together, if Jesus made One Church. This is obviously an error. We don’t need a lot of insight to understand this. The Church is just One. Peter, on this Rock I, Jesus, will build My Church. It is the Church of Peter, not Churches. This is obvious, but anyway… We need to come together, but not initially in an intellectual way. First, we need to come by way of the heart, by welcoming one another. Of being again a family. It is a whole process. Truth must go with charity, and charity is truth. So my counsel would be, not too much study of the Bible. Read the Bible. Listen to the Word of God. Listen to God in His Word. So read it in a prayerful way. I have downloaded the Bible which is read (audio version). It is a good translation. You can even listen to it when you drive the car or do some work in which your intellect is not involved too much. You can listen to the Word of God! I Love It! It is so beautiful to listen to the Word, to listen to the Letters of St. Paul, listen to Luke, to John, to the Acts of the Apostles. “Shema Ysrael” means “Listen Israel” – not study Israel…So let it go through your ears into your heart. It forms there. The Truth! And if people tell us, because we don’t follow the high theoretical truths about the Bible, that it can’t be the paternity of St. Paul, why do they say this? Who is behind it? It is the Evil One who wants to destroy the authority of the Sacred Scripture. So, I said to one of those teachers, I said to him, “Whether it is St. Paul or not is actually secondary. Although for us it is very important, but first the principal author of the Sacred Scripture is the Holy Spirit.” Full stop. So today there are so many attacks against the Church. Not only from without, but also from within. And many times, it is from those who study a lot. And they think themselves to be very wise. But studying without praying! Mary said in her message yesterday, “You will feel the need to pray more!” Imagine if a liturgist is so engulfed in studying that he doesn’t have time to celebrate the liturgy …! For the Orthodox Church, the Church in the East, our brothers there, for them the cathedra… the place where you teach… is the choir where the monks pray. Most beautiful! Yes, we are attacked. And we know who in the end is going against Christ. It is the devil. And if he gets one faithful he has a nice supper…. but he’s clever so he says: if I get the parish priest, I have the whole month to eat, to devour. But if I get to the bishop I have a whole year at my dispensary to eat and celebrate. But he’s clever. So, he thinks if he gets to the Book, the books of the seminarians, then he has won a great victory. So that was where he was working – the formation of future priests! They might know a lot about Jesus, but very seldom they are taught, like St. Paul did to Timothy and Titus, to encounter Jesus. That was essential to them…to encounter Him…to make an experience. Therefore, Pope Benedict says faith begins, not with some laws or whatever, with some ethic, ….no faith begins with an experience of an encounter…. and this encounter in our hearts is peace. And it’s given to us. And if they call you therefore “simpleton” say, I give you praise! Thank you, Father! With Jesus pray: “He has hidden those things from the learned, the clever, from the wise and revealed them to Mary’s children.” Yes, to encounter Jesus heart to heart! This communion again… it’s not a daily communion, it’s The Communion…there’s only one. There are not many Jesus’s, only one. Always the full Christ gives Himself to you. These readings today always enter the actual present moment. There in that moment lies Eternity. There is God. And He wants to meet you. He wants to unite Himself to you. And He is yearning, so vehemently, for you, that if you knew you would melt for joy! And so, it is an experience of peace. Therefore, when he sends his missionaries – as we see today, the 72 – so there we are all in a certain way – today it’s our call. And He says, when you give your peace, you say, Shalom. If your peace goes to them, OK. If it comes back to you, it is an experience of peace. We can’t give what we don’t have… but what we have, if Jesus is in us, we can give it – it is He, the Holy Spirit who makes this through our poor humanity. When we see Titus, when we see Timothy, when we see Silas, when we see all those, even Paul himself, we see poor humanity. This perfect, sterile humanity doesn’t exist. Where the heart is excluded. Some people today think that we must create a humanity where the heart is always by-passed. It is a by-pass of the heart. From the passions to the head. And they think they are very clever, but they don’t understand that they are directed by their passions, of vanity, of pride, of thirst for power, and they by-pass perfectly the heart. Then they come to such horrendous conclusions. We saw it yesterday in New York. Until the ninth month you can abort a child. And they think this is a great achievement of our culture. And they don’t understand that we have grown lower than the beasts. It is only to cry. How can we lose so much our humanity? To reach to certain horrible things. We cannot even name them. And yet Mary says that this presence of Jesus in us might become…in her words, “In the warmth of your heart, may a grain of hope and faith grow.” And we know that this growth is Jesus. It is so important that it grows and that this warmth may pass from heart to heart, and hopefully even reach those hardened hearts who today accomplish such atrocious things. Because as Mary said yesterday, “This life is passing quickly.” Also may they be also saved. This is the one most powerful truth in the writings of St. Paul to Timothy, when he says, “God wants that all might be saved.” That is a powerful truth. God want that all be saved. And therefore let us become the missionaries, the apostles of love of Our Lady. Today she invites us and today she is looking for our “yes”. (Fr.

Mirjana greets Our Lady on December 2, 2018 and receives a message for us all! (c) Anthony Zubac 2018   January 24, 2019 St. Francis de Sales, Bishop and Doctor of the Church Dear Family of Mary! Tomorrow we will receive a message from Our Lady! We anticipate each message she gives us with great joy and gratitude. Her messages are gifts of light for us who live in this very dark world. Our Lady opens our minds and hearts to the things of God even as we trustingly wait for His coming in glory. Today, as we pray and wait for the message, here are 5 messages in which Our Lady gives us clues as to why her messages are important. May these messages help us to receive our new message with ready hearts! May 25, 2006 “Dear children! Also, today I call you to put into practice and to live my messages that I am giving you. Decide for holiness, little children, and think of heaven. Only in this way, will you have peace in your heart that no one will be able to destroy. Peace is a gift which God gives you in prayer. Little children, seek and work with all your strength for peace to win in your hearts and in the world. Thank you for having responded to my call.” August 25, 2012 “Dear children! Also today, with hope in the heart, I am praying for you and am thanking the Most High for every one of you who lives my messages with the heart. Give thanks to God’s love that I can love and lead each of you through my Immaculate Heart also toward conversion. Open your hearts and decide for holiness, and hope will give birth to joy in your hearts. Thank you for having responded to my call.” June 25, 2018 “Dear children! This is the day that the Lord gave me to give Him thanks for each of you, for those who have converted and have accepted my messages and have set out on the way of conversion and holiness. Rejoice, little children, because God is merciful and loves you all with His immeasurable love and leads you to the way of salvation through my coming here. I love you all and give you my Son that He may give you peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” March 18, 2003 “Dear children! Particularly at this holy time of penance and prayer, I call you to make a choice. God gave you free will to choose life or death. Listen to my messages with the heart that you may become cognizant of what you are to do and how you will find the way to life. My children, without God you can do nothing; do not forget this even for a single moment. For, what are you and what will you be on earth, when you will return to it again. Do not anger God, but follow me to life. Thank you for being here.” August 25, 1993 “Dear children! I want you to understand that I am your Mother, that I want to help you and call you to prayer. Only by prayer can you understand and accept my messages and practice them in your life. Read Sacred Scripture, live it, and pray to understand the signs of the times. This is a special time, therefore, I am with you to draw you close to my heart and the heart of my Son, Jesus. Dear little children, I want you to be children of the light and not of the darkness. Therefore, live what I am telling you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2019 PS. I have very good news!

At prayer before Our Lady’s statue in front of St. James Church (c) Anthony Zubac 2018   January 23, 2019 St. Vincent, St. Marianne Cope Dear Family of Mary! The Gospel reading for Holy Mass today is from Mark. It is the story of the healing of the man with a withered hand. It is short, and to the point. Here it is: Jesus entered the synagogue. There was a man there who had a withered hand. They watched Jesus closely to see if he would cure him on the sabbath so that they might accuse him. He said to the man with the withered hand, “Come up here before us.” Then he said to the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?” But they remained silent. Looking around at them with anger and grieved at their hardness of heart, Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him to put him to death. (Mk 3: 1-6) It would seem this scene was a set-up. The men in the synagogue wanted to see what Jesus would do about the man with the withered hand on the sabbath. They wanted to accuse Him. But Jesus would not cower. He boldly asked the man with the withered hand to step up before them all. Then he confronted the Pharisees about their legalistic view of the sabbath. “Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?” Their silence revealed their duplicity. And so, Jesus turned to the man. This is what was interesting to me. Jesus had invited this man to come to the front of the synagogue. “Come up here before us.” The man came up. And after the confrontation with the Pharisees Jesus said, “Stretch out your hand.” Jesus gave him two commands. Each one of them required a voluntary response, a response that would show some kind of trust, some kind of openness to Jesus. If the man had been afraid of the Pharisees, he would not have come up or stretched out his hand. If he was looking back (feeling self-conscious), he would have been full of shame at his disability, and maybe he would have declined being in the spotlight. This man clearly had to make a decision to trust Jesus and to follow His commands. It is clear that the healing that ensued was the result not only of Jesus’ power, but of this man’s cooperation with Jesus. He obviously had come to trust Jesus, to surrender to Jesus, to reject fear and to expectantly open his heart to Jesus’ love. That was his part in the miracle that followed. He had to make a choice to say ‘yes’ to Jesus, in public and at a moment of tension and conflict. The man with the withered hand chose Jesus! Now read Our Lady’s message through Jakov on Christmas, 2018, again. “Dear children, on this day of grace, I am calling you to love. Little children, God loves you immeasurably and that is why, little children, full of trust and without looking back and without fear, completely surrender your hearts to Him so that God may fill them with His love. Do not be afraid to believe in His love and mercy, because His love is stronger than every one of your weaknesses and fears. Therefore, my children, full of love in your hearts, trust in Jesus and say your ‘yes’ to Him, because He is the only way which leads you to the Eternal Father.” (December 25, 2018 Jakov)   I believe Our Lady is leading us to the same kind of moment of choice that the man with the withered hand was at. She is calling us to the same kind of surrender and trust that he had, so that we can also be healed by Jesus, our Savior and Lord. She knows that Jesus has many graces to give us, but that we need to stand up, come to the front of the room and stretch out our hands and our hearts to Jesus. We all need miracles. Maybe we need a miracle every day! And so, we need to approach Jesus in our prayer in this very same way every day! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2019

(c) Anthony Zubac 2019   January 22, 2019 Day of Prayer for the Protection of the Unborn. Dear Family of Mary! “Dear children, on this day of grace, I am calling you to love. Little children, God loves you immeasurably and that is why, little children, full of trust and without looking back and without fear, completely surrender your hearts to Him so that God may fill them with His love. Do not be afraid to believe in His love and mercy, because His love is stronger than every one of your weaknesses and fears. Therefore, my children, full of love in your hearts, trust in Jesus and say your ‘yes’ to Him, because He is the only way which leads you to the Eternal Father.” (December 25, 2019 Jakov) I love this message! I just love it! Jakov only receives one public message each year. And it can get lost in the shuffle with all the Christmas business! But Our Lady has an especially tender way of speaking through Jakov. This message is a very good demonstration of her tenderness. “Dear children, on this day of grace, I am calling you to love…” So simply, Our Lady gives us this call, the call to love. Do we think about this call every day as we get up in the morning? “I am called this day to love…” How would it change our day if we made this call a priority in our day? How would it change the way we organize our time? It’s a thought… “Little children, God loves you immeasurably and that is why, little children, full of trust and without looking back and without fear, completely surrender your hearts to Him so that God may fill them with His love…” Every time I read this sentence, it takes my breath away. God loves us immeasurably…God loves us so much we can never measure it. Such love should fill us with trust! And such love should move us to only look forward. No looking back at what has happened. No more self-recrimination or shame. No more fear that we will fail again. God’s love is so vast, it will carry us through everything. We have nothing to fear. We need only to surrender to this vast love, and let God fill us with His grace. “Do not be afraid to believe in His love and mercy, because His love is stronger than every one of your weaknesses and fears…” Do not be afraid! Yes, we are weak. Yes, we are unsure. Yes, we have failed many times. But that doesn’t stop God from choosing us and loving us. God can overcome every weakness and fear in our hearts, if we let Him. “Therefore, my children, full of love in your hearts, trust in Jesus and say your ‘yes’ to Him, because He is the only way which leads you to the Eternal Father.” Therefore…Our Lady has given us the truth about the Father. He is always love. And she has given us Jesus, as our brother, to lead us to that Father who loves us. All Jesus needs is our ‘yes’. It seems too good to be true. But it is. Jesus is the only way to the Eternal Father, and Jesus is given to us by the Father to ensure that we get back to Him. Doesn’t it make you want to swoon? So much love. So much tenderness. So much compassion and kindness. We are called to love because we are so loved! Thank you, dearest Mother, for this message which touches our deepest selves, where fear and failure and mistrust hide. You are reaching down there to root them out. You want us to finally completely surrender to your Son, so that He can save us. May we say “yes”. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan © Mary TV 2019 PS. Here is a prayer we can pray for the unborn on this day of prayer, along with our Rosaries. O Mary, Mother of the Unborn, protect the gift of human life which your Divine Son has allowed to be given. Give strength and joy to all parents as they await the birth of the precious child they have conceived. Give courage to those who are fearful, calm those who are anxious and guide all of us, with your motherly care, to treasure and protect the miraculous gift of human life. We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

At prayer in St. James Church (c) Anthony Zubac 2019   January 21, 2019 St. Agnes, Virgin and Martyr Dear Family of Mary! I was ill this weekend, and so was Denis. We were not able to do our Daily Rosary or Divine Mercy on Saturday or Sunday. It was so strange! We have been praying online for 10 years now, every day!! I truly love it! We shipmates are family now!! I wanted to share a beautiful email I received about a week ago. It is from Cecilia in Upstate New York! She shares an experience she had through Medjugorje coming to her on Mary TV! Dear Cathy, I would like to share an experience that happened to me last night. Thank you for your daily reflections, I always look forward to them every day! You transcribed Father Marinko’ s homily (January 14, 2019 Reflection), what a beautiful homily he gave on Sunday (January 13, 2019 – Evening International Mass). I had to read it again last night around 10 pm before I went to bed. I decided to watch it on Mary TV, so I went to the archives. Then, I opened your reflection with Mother Teresa’s prayers (January 15, 2019 reflection). As I was praying, I felt a tremendous love, physical love flood into my heart!!! What a joy it was!!! My heart was pounding, craving that love! Father Marinko’s words and your reflection and Mother Teresa’s prayers opened my heart!! Now, I know what Our Lady is talking about when she says, “Little Children, open your heart!” Sometimes we don’t know how to do it. Dear Cathy… I am with you every day in the ship sailing with the Rosary program. Sending my love from Upstate New York, Cecilia Thank you, Cecilia, for sharing your experience of grace with us all. The Holy Spirit was moving!! It always amazes me how strong the graces are from Medjugorje. The Fruit of Medjugorje Shows constantly amaze me! So many interior graces happen in Medjugorje, not to mention the healings and conversion! We are so blessed to have Our Lady with us. This message from August of 2018 encourages us to pray for open hearts: August 02, 2018 “Dear children, with a motherly love I am calling you to open hearts to peace; to open hearts to my Son, so that in your hearts love for my Son may sing, because only out of that love peace comes in the soul. My children, I know that you have goodness, I know that you have love – a merciful love, but many of my children still have a closed heart. They think that they can do it without directing their thoughts towards the Heavenly Father who illuminates-towards my Son who is always with you anew in the Eucharist and who desires to listen to you. My children, why do you not speak to Him? The life of each of you is important and precious, because it is a gift from the Heavenly Father for eternity. Therefore, do not ever forget to keep on thanking Him: speak to Him. I know, my children, that what is to come afterwards is unknown to you, but when your hereafter comes you will receive all the answers. My motherly love desires that you be ready. My children, by your life keep putting good feelings in the hearts of the people whom you meet, feelings of peace, goodness, love and forgiveness. Through prayer, hearken to what My Son is saying and act accordingly. Anew, I am calling you to prayer for your shepherds, for those whom my Son has called. Remember that they need prayers and love. Thank you.” I think your heart, Cecilia, was singing!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2019

The Crucifix on Apparition Hill (c) Mateo Ivankovic 2017   January 18, 2019 Dear Family of Mary! “…My children, apostles of my love, I am teaching you that my Son is not only asking for continuous prayers, but also for works and feelings – that you believe, that you pray, that with your personal prayers you grow in faith, that you grow in love. To love each other is what He asks for – that is the way to eternal life. My children, do not forget that my Son brought the light to this world, and He brought it to those who wanted to see it and receive it. You be those, because this is the light of truth, peace and love…” (January 2, 2019) Jesus asks us for things. He sees us, knows us, and asks us for things. Our Lady said he asks for continuous prayer, for works and feeling [of love], for our belief in Him, prayer to Him, and that we grow in faith and love. Jesus calls us to change and grow, according to Our Lady. Reuben sent this lovely response to Our Lady’s message which shows how very right Our Lady is!! Reuben wrote: From reading the Gospels, I see the eyes of Jesus. They follow me. They are so powerful, serene and penetrating. I understand that they see souls entirely: both as they are in their woundedness, and as they could be when transformed in His love. It is this look which converts the apostles so immediately. Christ sees, in someone like Matthew, both the traitor of His people as tax collector, and their eventual evangelist by way of repentance. He sees in Peter the man who dies upside down and the man who runs away at the dawn of his master’s passion. Christ’s look invites a decision. His clarity of sight is perfect, but so is His desire for only and completely the good. I must look this way at people too. I must consider myself the greater sinner, and they – all of them – the more capable of sanctity. I must invite the grace to see what that person in front of me would look like were they fully alive in the love of God. That is light! Amen! Thank you, Reuben and may we all see in the Light of Jesus, with eyes of love and of truth so as to invite our brothers and sisters into the Kingdom. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

My Son brought the light to this world! (c) Anthony Zubac 2018   January 17, 2019 St. Anthony, Abbot Dear Family of Mary! “…My children, do not forget that my Son brought the light to this world, and He brought it to those who wanted to see it and receive it. You be those, because this is the light of truth, peace and love…” (January 2, 2019) I want to step aside and let two of our shipmates share their thoughts on Jesus as the light of this world, Ginna from Ohio will share today, and Reuben from Wales will share tomorrow! They each see another facet to Our Lady’s message. I suspect there are as many facets to her words as there are shipmates!! That is the incredible fertility of Our Lady’s words. Enjoy!! Ginna wrote: Dear Cathy, As I was praying about the message and this terrible warfare that makes Our Lady so sad, and all the divisions around us I remembered that the name Lucifer is “light bearer”. He’s trying to be our light and deceive us. …And so, at the end of the message she is calling us to remember that it is Christ who is the true light as opposed to the enemy’s desire to be the light for us. So again, she is calling us to decide for God and decisively against Lucifer who manifests himself at times as an angel of light. We must pray to discern and receive only Him, especially as the angels of light appear within our very Church and in our relationships. “My children do not forget that my Son brought the light to this world, and He brought it to those who wanted to see it and receive it. You be those, because this is the light of truth, peace and love.” He is the Light- not Lucifer!! We are in battle with the true light against the false light. She’s asking us to discern and follow Him! Also, what strikes me in this message is the passive nouns. “Faith is being extinguished. Hearts are being grasped.” We aren’t resisting. We aren’t active. We’re giving in at times. We need to pray to the Holy Spirit to stir into flames that faith that is being extinguished on earth and to actively guard our hearts and place them in hers where she would let nothing grasp the heart of any of her children who come to her in faith. We fly to thy patronage, o holy Mother if God. “When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” Yes, if we listen to and live her messages and give her our hearts. I love praying about her messages!! Thank you, Ginna. Well said!! We do need to discern between the false light of Lucifer and the Light of the World, Jesus! And we need to fight for our faith! Only with Our Lady as our leader will we be able to succeed! She is with us to guide us in this difficult time, but a time of grace, nonetheless! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan © Mary TV 2019
