April 17, 2025 Reflection – Holy Thursday

Holy Thursday   April 17, 2025 Holy Thursday Dear Family of Mary! Holy Thursday – the day we recall the institution of the Eucharist. The day Jesus provided His Body and Blood as our true food for the journey. Let us give thanks! St. Paul wrote to us: Brothers and sisters: I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes. (1Corinthians 11: 23-27) Our Lady, Mary the Mother of Jesus said to us: July 2, 2015  “Dear children, I am calling you to spread the faith in my Son – your faith. You, my children illuminated by the Holy Spirit, my apostles, transmit it to others – to those who do not believe, who do not know, who do not want to know – but for that you must pray a lot for the gift of love, because love is the mark of true faith – and you will be apostles of my love. Love always, anew, revives the pain and the joy of the Eucharist, it revives the pain of the Passion of my Son, by which He showed you what it means to love immeasurably; it revives the joy for having left you His body and blood to feed you with Himself – and in this way, to be one with you. Looking at you with tenderness, I feel immeasurable love which strengthens me in my desire to bring you to a firm faith. Firm faith will give you joy and happiness on earth and in the end the encounter with my Son. This is His desire. Therefore, live Him, live love, live the light that always illuminates you in the Eucharist. I implore you to pray a lot for your shepherds, to pray so as to have all the more love for them because my Son gave them to you to feed you with His body and to teach you love. Therefore, also you are to love them. But, my children, remember, love means to endure and to give, and never, ever to judge. Thank you.” May we live these words always! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

April 16, 2025 Reflection – My motherly heart desires for you …to be little lights of the world

My motherly heart desires for you …to be little lights of the world   April 16, 2025 Wednesday of Holy Week Dear Family of Mary! In today’s readings we hear Jesus warning his disciples that He will be betrayed by one of His own. It is heart-rending. Yet this is the road that the Father has asked Him to walk, and Jesus will not hold back. And at Mass today in Psalm 69 we can hear the deep submission and trust in the Father that Jesus had: Psalm 69: For your sake I bear insult, And shame covers my face. I have become an outcast to my brother, a stranger to my mother’s sons, Because zeal for your house consumes me, and the insults of those who blaspheme you fall upon me. Insult has broken my heart, and I am weak, I looked for sympathy, but there was none; for consolers, not one could I find. Rather they put gall in my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. I will praise the name of God in song, And I will glorify Him with thanksgiving: “See, you lowly ones, and be glad; you who seek God, may your hearts revive! For the Lord hears the poor, And his own who are in bonds he spurns not.” Our Lady has asked us to have deep trust in the Father, in imitation of Jesus. This amazing message will help us: June 2, 2017  “Dear children, as in the other places where I have come to you, also here I am calling you to prayer. Pray for those who do not know my Son, for those who have not come to know the love of God, against sin, for the consecrated – for those whom my Son called to have love and the spirit of strength for you, for the Church. Pray to my Son, and the love which you experience from His nearness will give you the strength to make you ready for the works of love, which you will do in His name. My children, be ready. This time is a turning point. That is why I am calling you anew to faith and hope. I am showing you the way by which you need to go, and those are the words of the Gospel. Apostles of my love, the world is in such need of your arms raised towards Heaven, towards my Son, towards the Heavenly Father. Much humility and purity of heart are needed. Have trust in my Son and know that you can always be better. My motherly heart desires for you, apostles of my love, to be little lights of the world, to illuminate there where darkness wants to begin to reign, to show the true way by your prayer and love, to save souls. I am with you. Thank you.” May we carry this love for Jesus in our hearts at all times, and share it will all we meet. May this be a time of faith, no matter what!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

April 15, 2025 Reflection – My children, my Son is the heart of the world.

My children, my Son is the heart of the world.   April 15, 2025 Tuesday of Holy Week Dear Family of Mary! In today’s Gospel we see that disastrous results of betrayal. There is nothing more hideous than witnessing someone good being betrayed by another, by one who was intimate with him and should have known better. Betrayal comes in many forms, but it is ultimately the failure of a friend to cherish the life of someone who had loved them well. No personal gain can ever wash away the hideousness of that loveless act. We see Judas’ failure all too clearly. But of course we all have failed someone in our lifes. It is the favorite trick of our enemy to lure us into betrayal, disguised as something true or good. It never is. But we can be blinded by it so easily. Here is that sad account: John 13:21-30  Reclining at table with his disciples, Jesus was deeply troubled and testified, “Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” The disciples looked at one another, at a loss as to whom he meant. One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was reclining at Jesus’ side. So Simon Peter nodded to him to find out whom he meant. He leaned back against Jesus’ chest and said to him, “Master, who is it?” Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I hand the morsel after I have dipped it.” So he dipped the morsel and took it and handed it to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot. After Judas took the morsel, Satan entered him. So Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.” Now none of those reclining at table realized why he said this to him. Some thought that since Judas kept the money bag, Jesus had told him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or to give something to the poor. So Judas took the morsel and left at once. And it was night. It was night, in Judas’ soul. The blindness of his conscience was complete. Judas traded Jesus for some unknown gain that not even 30 pieces of silver could satisfy. And only after the deed, did Judas regain his sight. But too late. Our Lady warned us about betrayal, and urged us to be better in this message from 2017: May 2, 2017  “Dear children, I am calling you to pray, not to ask for but to offer sacrifice – sacrificing yourselves. I am calling you to reveal the truth and merciful love. I am praying to my Son for you, for your faith which is all the more diminishing in your hearts. I am imploring Him to help you with the divine spirit, as I also desire to help you with my motherly spirit. My children, you must be better. Only those who are pure, humble and filled with love sustain the world – they are saving themselves and the world. My children, my Son is the heart of the world. He should be loved and prayed to, and not always betrayed anew. Therefore, you, apostles of my love, spread the faith in the hearts of people by your example, your prayer and merciful love. I am beside you, I will help you. Pray for your shepherds to have all the more light, so as to be able to illuminate all those who live in darkness. Thank you.” “My children, my Son is the heart of the world. He should be loved and prayed to, and not always betrayed anew.” Our Lady needs us to stand with Jesus, through our love for Him. May we be pure, humble and filled with love…so that we can help Our Lady to sustain the world and save as many souls as possible. Our Lady asks us to spread the faith in the hearts of people by our example, our prayer and merciful love. We can be part of the renewal of the world, with Our Lady leading us. May it be so!

April 14, 2025 Reflection – Wait for the Lord with courage; be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.

Wait for the Lord with courage; be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.   April 14, 2025 Monday of Holy Week Dear Family of Mary! Today, Monday of Holy Week, our Responsorial Psalm is taken from Psalm 27. It is a psalm of total confidence and trust in the Lord. We can hear Jesus saying these words to himself as He endured His Passion. We quietly compassionate with Him. He shows us the way to trust the Father completely: Psalm 27 – 1-3, 13-14 The Lord is my light and my salvation;  whom should I fear? The Lord is my life’s refuge;  of whom should I be afraid?  When evildoers come at me  to devour my flesh, My foes and my enemies  themselves stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me,  my heart will not fear; Though war be waged upon me,  even then will I trust.  I believe that I shall see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord with courage;  be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.   Our Lady also shows us this kind of total trust in the Father. She encourages us to live our lives in that trust: October 2, 2010  “Dear children; Today I call you to a humble, my children, humble devotion. Your hearts need to be just. May your crosses be your means in the battle against the sins of the present time. May your weapon be patience and boundless love, a love that knows to wait and which will make you capable of recognizing God’s signs, that your life, by humble love, may show the truth to all those who seek it in the darkness of lies… My children, my apostles, help me to open the paths to my Son. Once again I call you to pray for your shepherds. Alongside them, I will triumph. Thank you.” May our weapon be patience and boundless love, a love that knows to wait and which will make us capable of recognizing God’s signs…May we wait for the Lord with courage! May we be stouthearted and wait for the Lord! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S. https://marytv.tv/donate/ P.P.S. Go to www.marytv.tv to experience Medjugorje through Mary TV!  

April 11, 2025 Reflection – The Name which is above every name…

The name which is above every name… April 11, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Palm Sunday approaches! We are about to enter Holy Week! I am filled with expectation!! I feel that Our Lady will be with us in a special way this Holy Week!! I felt led to share the second reading at Holy Mass on Palm Sunday! It is powerful!! Let’s read St. Paul’s words, so inspired by the Holy Spirit!! Philippians 2:6-11 (Reading for Mass on Palm Sunday) Christ Jesus, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped.  Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.  Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue ­confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.  The word of the Lord. And now, let’s read Our Lady’s words to us on December 2, 2016. She too is inspired by Her Spouse, the Holy Spirit!! December 2, 2016  “Dear children, my motherly heart is crying as I am looking at what my children are doing. Sins are multiplying, the purity of soul is all the less important; my Son is being forgotten – honored all the less; and my children are being persecuted. That is why, you my children, apostles of my love, with soul and heart invoke the name of my Son. He will have the words of light for you. He manifests Himself to you, He breaks the bread with you and gives you the words of love so that you may transform them into merciful acts and, thus, be witnesses of truth. That is why, my children, do not be afraid. Permit my Son to be in you. He will make use of you to care for the wounded and to convert lost souls. Therefore, my children, return to the prayer of the Rosary. Pray it with feelings of goodness, sacrifice and mercy. Pray, not only with words, but with merciful acts… Pray with love for all people. My Son, by His sacrifice, exalted love. Therefore, live with Him so that you may have strength and hope; that you may have the love which is life and which leads to eternal life. Through God’s love, I am also with you, and will lead you with motherly love. Thank you..” May we invoke the Holy Name of Jesus, with reverence and love, throughout this Holy Week ahead. May the Name of Jesus be on our lips, in our hearts and minds, and constantly filling our memory! Because: “At the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue ­confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

April 10, 2025 Reflection – Open pure and humble hearts to my Son…

Open pure and humble hearts to my Son..   April 10, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Today as we continue to draw close to Holy Week and the Pasiontide, I feel drawn to share this message given to us on January 2, 2014 through Mirjana. It is sometimes difficult to follow the messages that Mirjana receives because they can be quite long, and quite complex. This is one of those messages. But I think if we pray over a few lines at a time, we will begin to see the pattern of Our Lady’s words, and grasp the beauty of the way her mind works!! She is calling us to become co-workers in the vineyard of souls with her. She wants us to draw close to Jesus, receive His love, and then spread it to all those we meet. Our Lady says it much better than I can!! January 2, 2014  “Dear children, for you to be able to be my apostles and to be able to help all those who are in darkness, to come to know the light of the love of my Son, you must have pure and humble hearts. You can not help for my Son to be born in, and to reign in, the hearts of those who do not know Him, if He does not reign – if He is not the King – in your heart. I am with you. I am walking with you as a mother I am knocking on your hearts. They cannot open because they are not humble. I am praying, and you my beloved children also pray, that you may be able to open pure and humble hearts to my Son and to receive the gifts which He has promised you. Then you will be led by the love and strength of my Son. Then, you will be my apostles who everywhere around them spread the fruits of God’s love. My Son will act from within you and through you, because you will be ‘one’. My motherly heart yearns for this – for the unity of all of my children – through my Son. With great love I bless, and pray for those who are chosen by my Son – for your shepherds. Thank you.” (At first Our Lady was sad and then decisive.) Our joy will be to become apostles of Jesus, in such a way that He will be able to reach so many of His children who are still far away through us! It is a matter of being loved and then loving others with the love that we have received. Holy Week is the week of extreme love! The Love of our Crucified Savior! The strongest Love of all loves.

April 9, 2025 Reflection – Return to the love of my Son!

Return to the love of my Son!   April 9, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! I was led to this message from Our Lady, given to Mirjana on her birthday in 2021: March 18, 2021 “Dear children, in a motherly way I am calling you to return to the joy and the truth of the Gospel, to return to the love of my Son – because He is waiting for you with open arms; that everything you do in life you do with my Son, with love; that it may be blessed for you; so that your spirituality may be internal, and not just external. Only in that way will you be humble, generous, filled with love and joyful; and my motherly heart will rejoice with you. Thank you.” I can think of no better words for us today! If we take Our Lady’s advice today, and try to do what she asks us to do, we will find ourselves rejoicing with our Mother!! We will be renewed in the Holy Spirit and filled with the love of Jesus! Amen!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S. https://marytv.tv/donate/ P.P.S. Go to www.marytv.tv to experience Medjugorje through Mary TV!      

April 8, 2025 Reflection – Be gardens of the most beautiful flowers.

Be gardens of the most beautiful flowers.   April 8, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! As we draw closer the Holy Week, I feel the need to pray. Our Lady has called us to prayer… strong, constant and true prayer!!! She speaks to us: September 2, 2018  “Dear children, my words are simple but are filled with motherly love and care. My children, all the more the shadows of darkness and deception are being cast over you, and I am calling you to the light and truth – I am calling you to my Son. Only He can transform despair and suffering into peace and clarity; only He can give hope in the deepest pain. My Son is the life of the world. The more that you come to know Him – the more that you come close to Him – all the more you will love Him, because my Son is love. Love changes everything; it makes most beautiful also that which, without love, seems insignificant to you. That is why, anew, I am saying to you that you must love a lot if you desire to grow spiritually. I know, apostles of my love, that it is not always easy, but, my children, also the painful paths are paths which lead to spiritual growth, to faith, and to my Son. My children, pray – think of my Son. In all the moments of the day, raise your soul to Him, and I will gather your prayers as flowers from the most beautiful garden and give them as a gift to my Son. Be true apostles of my love; spread the love of my Son to everyone. Be gardens of the most beautiful flowers. With your prayers help your shepherds that they may be spiritual fathers filled with love for all people. Thank you.” Strong prayer makes for beautiful flowers – flowers of the heart!

April 7, 2025 Reflection – The Lord is my shepherd…

The Lord is my Shepherd…   April 7, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! The Psalm for today’s Mass is so very comforting! Let these words of the Psalmist enfold your heart in the love of God… Psalm 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. And here is a message from Our Lady which is unforgetable, and can move us ever closer to our Shepherd… November 25, 2006 “Dear children! Also today I call you to pray, pray, pray. Little children, when you pray you are close to God and He gives you the desire for eternity. This is a time when you can speak more about God and do more for God. Therefore, little children, do not resist but permit Him to lead you, to change you and to enter into your life. Do not forget that you are travelers on the way toward eternity. Therefore, little children, permit God to lead you as a shepherd leads his flock. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Finally, here is a prayer that Our Lady dictated to Jelena Vasilj so many years ago. Let’s pray it in response to the Psalm and Our Lady’s message: Consecration to the Heart of Jesus (Given by Our Lady to Jelena Vasilj, 11/28/1983) O Jesus, we know that You are sweet (Mt. 11:29). That you have given Your heart for us. It was crowned with thorns by our sins. We know that today You still pray for us so that we will not be lost. Jesus, remember us if we fall into sin. Through Your most Sacred Heart, make us all love one another. Cause hatred to disappear among men. Show us Your love. All of us love You. And we desire that you protect us with Your Heart of the Good Shepherd. Enter into each heart, Jesus! Knock on the door of our hearts. Be patient and tenacious with us. We are still locked up in ourselves, because we have not understood Your will. Knock continuously, Oh Jesus. Make our hearts open up to you, at least in reminding us of the passion which you suffered for us. Amen In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S. https://marytv.tv/donate/ P.P.S.

April 4, 2025 Reflection – This is why I need you…

This is why I need you…   April 4, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady longs for us to understand the great love of her Son! She longs for us to become carriers of that love. Here is a message from 2014, in which she calls us to help her to carry that love to others: November 2, 2014 “Dear children, I am with you with the blessing of my Son, with you who love me and who strive to follow me. I also desire to be with you who do not accept me. To all of you I am opening my heart full of love and I am blessing you with my motherly hands. I am a mother who understands you. I lived your life and lived through your sufferings and joys. You who are living in pain understand my pain and suffering because of those of my children who do not permit the light of my Son to illuminate them; those of my children who are living in darkness. This is why I need you – you who have been illuminated by the light and have comprehended the truth. I am calling you to adore my Son so that your soul may grow and reach true spirituality. My apostles, it is then that you will be able to help me… To help me means to pray for those who have not come to know the love of my Son. In praying for them you are showing to my Son that you love Him and follow Him. My Son promised me that evil will never win, because you, the souls of the just, are here; you who strive to say your prayers with the heart; you who offer your pain and suffering to my Son; you who comprehend that life is only a blink; you who yearn for the Kingdom of Heaven. All of this makes you my apostles and leads you towards the victory of my heart. Therefore, my children, purify your hearts and adore my Son. Thank you.” Mother help us to be the souls of the just, those who love and forgive, who pray and suffer out of love for God and for our brothers and sisters. May we comprehend that life is only a blink and yearn for the Kingdom of Heaven! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S. https://marytv.tv/donate/ P.P.S.
