“I desire to lead you…”   May 12, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! As we move through Easter Season, there is one thing that continues to show up in the readings at Mass. As the Apostles begin to spread out throughout the countryside, they experience the guidance of the Holy Spirit! They begin to rely on God’s guidance in amazing ways!! The first reading at Mass today from the Acts of the Apostles tells of a vision that Peter had in which it was made clear to him that all people were included in their evangelization, not just the Jews! This was very new to the Apostles, but the miracles that the Lord did as they began to reach out to non-Jewish people confirmed it. (Read Acts 11:1-18) It seems that Our Lady is calling us to learn to be led by the Holy Spirit as well. She wants us to receive guidance from the Lord in our prayer and in her messages so that God can work miracles in and through us as well. She said to us: July 25, 1985 “Dear children! I desire to lead you, but you do not wish to listen to my messages. Today I am calling you to listen to the messages and then you will be able to live everything which God tells me to convey to you. Open yourselves to God and God will work through you and keep on giving you everything you need. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady tells us that her messages are indeed a way for God to lead us in these days. We need to listen to them, so that we can receive all that God is telling Our Lady to tell us! We need to let God lead us through Our Lady in these very difficult but very gracefilled days! July 3, 1986 “Dear children! Today I am calling you all to prayer. Without prayer, dear children, you are not able to experience either God, or me or the graces which I am giving you. Therefore, my call to you is that the beginning and end of your day always be prayer. Dear children, I wish to lead you daily more and more in prayer, but you are not able to grow because you do not desire it. My call, dear children, is that for you prayer be in the first place. Thank you for having responded to my call.” We need to be led in prayer, taught and guided by Our Lady and God Himself! This is the missing piece to our lives of faith. We need a daily prayer life that will open up the communication lines with Our Lady and with the Lord! Without this experience of God and Our Lady on a daily basis, we will not be able to do the works of God that we are called to do, just as the Apostles were called to do all those years ago. We are called to walk with Our Lady and with the Lord, in a real way, through daily prayer that is open to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit! We are needed!!! May we renew daily prayer, and expect God to be with us in that prayer, inspiring and teaching us and leading us to help Him! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

If any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever…   May 8, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! In today’s Gospel Jesus tells us: Jesus said to the crowds: “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, `And they shall all be taught by God.’ Every one who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. Not that any one has seen the Father except him who is from God; he has seen the Father. Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.” (John 6: 44-51) He who believes has eternal life!!! Isn’t this the dream that we humans share, as we face the inevitable, our death? Eternal life!! And isn’t it a wild dream, that there could be bread that would give us eternal life? Yes, it sounds like a fairy tale. But it is not! Our Savior tells us it is real, and He has provided it, in His very Flesh. We must wake up from our slumber, and realize that eternal life is being offered to us, in Jesus. Mother Mary has tried to help us understand this in her messages. Take these five messages and pray over them in your Rosary today! March 25, 2009 “Dear children! In this time of spring, when everything is awakening from the winter sleep, you also awaken your souls with prayer so that they may be ready to receive the light of the risen Jesus. Little children, may He draw you closer to His Heart so that you may become open to eternal life. I pray for you and intercede before the Most High for your sincere conversion. Thank you for having responded to my call.” March 25, 2016 “Dear children! Today I am carrying my love to you… God permitted me to love you and, out of love, to call you to conversion.. You, little children, are poor in love and you still have not comprehended that my Son Jesus, out of love, gave His life to save you and to give you eternal life. Therefore pray, little children, pray so that in prayer you may comprehend God’s love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” November 25, 2017 “Dear children! In this time of grace, I call you to prayer. Pray and seek peace, little children. He who came here on earth to give you His peace, regardless of who you are and what you are – He, my Son, your Brother – through me is calling you to conversion, because without God you do not have a future or eternal life. Therefore, believe and pray and live in grace and the expectation of your personal meeting with Him. Thank you for having responded to my call.” April 25, 2019 “Dear children! This is a time of grace, a time of mercy for each of you. Little children, do not permit that the wind of hatred and peacelessness rule in you and around you. You, little children, are called to be love and prayer. The devil wants peacelessness and disorder, but you, little children, be the joy of the risen Jesus who died and resurrected for each of you. He conquered death to give you life, eternal life. Therefore, little children, witness and be proud that you have resurrected in Him. Thank you for having responded to my call.” April 2, 2010 “Dear children; Today I bless you in a special way and I pray for you to return to the right way, to my Son, your Savior, your Redeemer, to Him who gave you eternal life. Reflect on everything human, on everything that does not permit you to set out after my Son, on transience, imperfection and limitation, and then think of my Son, of His Divine infiniteness. By your surrender and prayer ennoble your body and perfect your soul. Be ready, my children. Thank you.” Eternal life is real!!! Rejoice! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

“I am the bread of life!   May 7, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Again today in our Gospel, Jesus calls us to come to Him: “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst…” (John 6:35-36) These words have stood the test of time! It is true, as we know from the lives of the Saints. And yet, we struggle to have this strength of faith in our daily lives. Our Lady recently said to us: December 25, 2025 (Yearly message to Jakov Colo) “Today, on this day of grace, in a special way I am calling you not to live a life striving for earthly goals and not to seek peace and joy in earthly things, because in this way darkness takes over your life and you do not see the meaning of your life. Little children, open the doors of your hearts to Jesus, permit Him to take over your entire life so that you may begin to live in God’s love and mercy. My children, only with Jesus in your hearts will you come to know the true goal of your life and long for eternal salvation. I am blessing you with my motherly blessing.” (With Ecclesiastical approval) Jesus awaits us in the Eucharist. He longs for us to come to Him, to adore Him, to weep with Him, to laugh with Him, to share our deepest feelings with Him. He waits for us to open the doors of our hearts to Him in the Eucharist! May we run to the tabernacle and spend precious time with our Eucharistic Lord. He is with us!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S. Our building project is moving ahead!!

I am the Bread of Life   May 6, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Here is our Gospel reading for today: John 6:30-35 The crowd said to Jesus: “What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do? Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.” So Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” So they said to Jesus, “Sir, give us this bread always.” Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.” Jesus tried to communicate the fact that He was the Bread of Life! But it was just too hard for the people to understand. Only after His death on the Cross and His Resurrection, did the truth dawn upon them. Jesus really meant it! He is the Bread of Life!! Our Lady calls us to live this truth as well: May 2, 2018  “Dear children, all that my Son, who is the light of love, has done and does, He has done out of love. Also you, my children, when you live in love and love your neighbors, you are doing the will of my Son. Apostles of my love, make yourselves little; open your pure hearts to my Son so that He can work through you. With the help of faith, be filled with love. But, my children, do not forget that the Eucharist is the heart of faith. This is my Son who feeds you with His Body and strengthens you with His Blood. This is a miracle of love: my Son who always comes anew, alive, to bring life back to souls. My children, by living in love you are doing the will of my Son and He lives in you. My children, my motherly desire is for you to always love Him more, because He is calling you with His love. He is giving you love so that you may spread it to all those around you. As a mother, through His love, I am with you to speak the words of love and hope to you – to speak to you the eternal words that are victorious over time and death – so as to call you to be my apostles of love. Thank you.” Jesus feeds us with His Body and Blood so that we will never hunger or thirst again. His love will never run out. We will never want for His nourishment. With this unending supply of grace, we can do all things. We can be apostles of love with Our Lady! The world is so in need of this love!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

The food that endures for eternal life… Dear Family of Mary! Today in our Gospel reading for Mass, we begin the Bread of Heaven discourse from John’s Gospel. Jesus teaches us the incredible mystery of His Body and Blood, given to us as our very food from Heaven. Jesus begins with these simple words: “Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal.” (John 6:28) This food that endures for eternal life, the Eucharist, is given to us by Jesus, directly through the hands of His priests. We are fed personally by Jesus with each Holy Communion. It is unbelievable!! Our Lady has drawn us to the Eucharist so gently and convincingly throughout the years in her messages. Here is one such message: June 2, 2012 “Dear children, I am continuously among you because, with my endless love, I desire to show you the door of Heaven. I desire to tell you how it is opened: through goodness, mercy, love and peace – through my Son. Therefore, my children, do not waste time on vanities. Only knowledge of the love of my Son can save you. Through that salvific love and the Holy Spirit He chose me and I, together with Him, am choosing you to be apostles of His love and will. My children, great is the responsibility upon you. I desire that by your example you help sinners regain their sight, enrich their poor souls and bring them back into my embrace. Therefore, pray, pray, fast and confess regularly. If receiving my Son in the Eucharist is the center of your life then do not be afraid, you can do everything. I am with you. Every day I pray for the shepherds and I expect the same of you. Because, my children, without their guidance and strengthening through their blessing, you cannot do it. Thank you.” May we receive Jesus in the Eucharist as the center of our lives!! Because He is!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S. Our building project is moving ahead!!

Be strong, and let your heart take courage; yea, wait for the LORD!   May 2, 2025 St. Athanasius Dear Family of Mary! Today let’s pray Psalm 27, prayerfully and gently. Let it fill our hearts with hope and constancy! Let us wait for the Lord!!! Ps.27- A Psalm of David. [1] The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? [2] When evildoers assail me, uttering slanders against me, my adversaries and foes, they shall stumble and fall. [3] Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident. [4] One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple. [5] For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent, he will set me high upon a rock. [6] And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies round about me; and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the LORD. [7] Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me! [8] Thou hast said, “Seek ye my face.” My heart says to thee, “Thy face, LORD, do I seek.” [9] Hide not thy face from me. Turn not thy servant away in anger, thou who hast been my help. Cast me not off, forsake me not, O God of my salvation! [10] For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the LORD will take me up. [11] Teach me thy way, O LORD; and lead me on a level path because of my enemies. [12] Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence. [13] I believe that I shall see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living! [14] Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; yea, wait for the LORD!

Peacelessness and Perdition   April 30, 2025 St. Pius Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady has been repeatedly impressing upon us that it is possible to have hearts that are so stony and cold that they cannot see what God is doing, and that they can only choose the paths of peacelessness and perdition. Read again her message to us on April 25, 2025: April 25, 2025 “Dear children, winds of peacelessness, selfishness and sin are catching hold of many hearts and leading them into peacelessness and perdition. That is why I am calling you, little children: return to God and to prayer, so that it may be good for you in the hearts and on the earth on which you live. I love you, little children, and that is why I am not tiring of calling you to conversion. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With Ecclesiastical approval) Now read the first reading for Mass today: Acts 5:17-26 The high priest rose up and all his companions, that is, the party of the Sadducees, and, filled with jealousy, laid hands upon the Apostles and put them in the public jail. But during the night, the angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, led them out, and said, “Go and take your place in the temple area, and tell the people everything about this life.” When they heard this, they went to the temple early in the morning and taught. When the high priest and his companions arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin, the full senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the jail to have them brought in. But the court officers who went did not find them in the prison, so they came back and reported, “We found the jail securely locked and the guards stationed outside the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside.” When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this report, they were at a loss about them, as to what this would come to. Then someone came in and reported to them, “The men whom you put in prison are in the temple area and are teaching the people.” Then the captain and the court officers went and brought them, but without force, because they were afraid of being stoned by the people. The word of the Lord. The Sadducees were clearly unable to see the mighty work of God in freeing the Apostles from their jail, even though the doors remained locked and the guards stationed outside the doors!!! This miracle made no impression on them!! Were they blind and unable to hear? Yes, they were. They were on their way to perdition, because of years of peacelessness, selfishness and sin. They could not perceive the works of God. It was beyond their comprehension. We see the same condition in many hearts today. They have lost true values, and wandered far from the light of God. But Our Lady does not want to give up on them. She told us many years ago: January 23, 1986 “Dear children! Again I call you to prayer with the heart. If you pray with the heart, dear children, the ice of your brothers will melt and every barrier shall disappear. Conversion will be easy for all who desire to accept it. That is the gift which by prayer you must obtain for your neighbor. Thank you for having responded to my call.” We are called to pray, pray, pray for our neighbors, so that they can be freed from the blindness of unbelief. It is not too late. Our job is to pray, pray, pray, for their conversion and for our own as well!! Conversion is a mighty gift from God! It is a gift we must obtain for ourselves and for our neighbors!! It is vital!!

Through prayer you are richer in the mercy of God.   April 29, 2025 St. Catherine of Siena Dear Family of Mary! Yesterday we considered that there is no mercy in hell. Mercy is only found with God! Today let’s pray for God’s Mercy to envelop us like a mantle, to keep us safe and at peace no matter what. And let that same Mercy extend to all those we meet, to all those in need. Our Lady told us: August 25, 1989 “Dear children! I call you to prayer. By means of prayer, little children, you obtain joy and peace. Through prayer you are richer in the mercy of God. Therefore, little children, let prayer be the life of each one of you. Especially I call you to pray so that all those who are far away from God may be converted. Then our hearts shall be richer because God will rule in the hearts of all men. Therefore, little children, pray, pray, pray! Let prayers begin to rule in the whole world. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Let us pray: Ps.23 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want; he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
