June 22, 2025 Reflection – Anniversary Novena, Day 8
44th Anniversary Novena, Day 8 June 22, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Today is the 8th day of our Novena for the 44th Anniversary of Our Lady’s coming to Medjugorje! Our Lady came early in the morning of June 21 (day 6), and here is what Maria shared with us: Our Lady’s Apparition to Marija – 6/21/2025 “During the apparition Our Lady looked at us, I recommended all of us, all our intentions and all that we have in our hearts and the people we brought here with us, who are not physically present, but and are spiritually with us in prayer. Our Lady prayed over us for a long time, She looked at us and in a special way I asked Our Lady to intercede before her Son Jesus for peace in our hearts, peace in our families and for peace in the whole world. Our Lady once again prayed longer for peace and blessed us all with the sign of the Cross and went to Heaven!” I was encouraged and touched that Marija would recommend to Our Lady “all that we have in our hearts and the people we brought here with us, who are not physically present but are spiritually with us in prayer.” It is beautiful that we Christians can pray for those we love, offering them to God through Our Lady! We have a great intercessor in Mary. Let’s never tire of praying for those we love!! Here are 5 more messages to use with our Rosary for the 8th day of the Novena: June 25, 2017 “Dear children! Today, I desire to thank you for your perseverance and call you to open yourselves to profound prayer. Prayer, little children, is the heart of faith and is hope in eternal life. Therefore, pray with the heart until your heart sings with thanksgiving to God the Creator who gave you life. I am with you, little children, and carry to you my motherly blessing of peace. 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.” June 25, 2019 “Dear children! I am thanking God for each of you. In a special way, little children, thank you for having responded to my call. I am preparing you for the new times that you may be firm in faith and persevering in prayer, so that the Holy Spirit may work through you and renew the face of the earth. I am praying with you for peace which is the most precious gift, even though Satan wants war and hatred. You, little children, be my extended hands and proudly go with God. Thank you for having responded to my call.” June 25, 2020 “Dear children! I am listening to your cries and prayers, and am interceding for you before my Son Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Return, little children, to prayer and open your hearts in this time of grace and set out on the way of conversion. Your life is passing and, without God, does not have meaning. This is why I am with you to lead you towards holiness of life, so that each of you may discover the joy of living. I love you all, little children, and am blessing you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” June 25, 2021 “Dear children! My heart is joyful because through these years I see your love and openness to my call. Today I am calling all of you: pray with me for peace and freedom, because Satan is strong and by his deception, wants to lead away all the more hearts from my motherly heart. That is why decide for God so that it may be good for you on the earth which God gave you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” It is amazing to see how very much Our Lady cares about us, year after year! She loves us truly as a mother and is interested in every aspect of our lives. Let’s give great thanks to her as we pray this closing prayer… Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Given by Our Lady to Jelena Vasilj, 11/28/1983) O Immaculate Heart of Mary, overflowing with goodness, Show us your love for us. May the flame of your heart, Oh Mary, Descend upon all peoples. We love you immensely. Impress in our hearts a true love. May our hearts yearn for you. Oh Mary, sweet and humble of heart, Remember us when we sin. You know that all mankind are sinners. Through your most sacred and maternal heart, Cure us from every spiritual illness. Make us capable of looking at the beauty of your maternal heart, And that, thus, we may be converted to the flame of your heart. Amen In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2025 P.S.
