April 3, 2025 Reflection – Prayer is joy without which you cannot live…

Prayer is joy without which you cannot live… April 3, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Mother Mary reminds us today to not forget our prayer. Prayer is the foundation of our relationship with God. Here is some very good advice about prayer, from Our Lady!! July 25, 1997 “Dear children! Today I invite you to respond to my call to prayer. I desire, dear children, that during this time you find a corner for personal prayer. I desire to lead you towards prayer with the heart. Only in this way will you comprehend that your life is empty without prayer. You will discover the meaning of your life when you discover God in prayer. That is why, little children, open the door of your heart and you will comprehend that prayer is joy without which you cannot live. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Thank you, dearest Mother, for this good advice. Lead us deeply into our personal prayer, so that we will discover God!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

April 1, 2025 Reflection – Therefore, say ‘yes’ to God!

Therefore, say ‘yes’ to God April 1, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! March 25, 2025 Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje: “Dear children, in this time of grace when you are called to conversion, I am encouraging you, little children: offer me your prayers, sufferings and tears for conversion of hearts that are far from the Heart of my Son Jesus. Pray with me, because, little children, without God you do not have a future or eternal life. I love you, but I cannot help you without you; therefore, say ‘yes’ to God. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With Ecclesiastical approval) Our Lady told us that “Without God you do not have a future or eternal life!” These words are chilling. She asked us seriously to pray with her! Why? Because of the dire consequences set before her children all over the world. Time is running out for many, and the choice must be made. And so she tells us: “I love you, but I cannot help you without you; therefore, say ‘yes’ to God!”  ….Therefore, say ‘yes’ to God!!! That is all it will take. The Lord loves us to much. If we just humble ourselves, let go of our own desires, and respond to His invitation to be His children, then we will say “yes” to Him. And everything will change! Our Lady told us long ago: 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.” Thank you to all of you who have already said “yes” to God. Our Lady is depending on you in these days to lead her lost ones into the arms of her Son. With our love and openess to the truth, we can show them the way. Our yes can become their yes too!! May it be so! 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!  

March 31, 2025 Reflection – I love you, but I cannot help you without you…

I love you, but I cannot help you without you…   March 31, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! March 25, 2025 Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje: “Dear children, in this time of grace when you are called to conversion, I am encouraging you, little children: offer me your prayers, sufferings and tears for conversion of hearts that are far from the Heart of my Son Jesus. Pray with me, because, little children, without God you do not have a future or eternal life. I love you, but I cannot help you without you; therefore, say ‘yes’ to God. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With Ecclesiastical approval) “I love you, but I cannot help you without you!!!” I think we can develop an attitude that implies that Our Lady can do anything, so we can just pray and wait for miracles!! But at least in my life, when I have done that, nothing happened!!! It was clear that Our Lady could not help me without me!!!! Why not? Because God has given us a free will, and He will not contradict our will, and Our Lady will not either. God does not treat us like pawns. He gave us the right and responsibilty to steer our own course in life. It is a sacred charge. In the Book of Deuteronomy, the Lord set before the Isrealites two ways. One was to follow Him and the other was to follow their own desires. The first way would lead to life and the second would lead to death. But God would not force the people then to follow Him, and He will not force us either. We need to choose Him and participate in the life He gives us with pure and whole hearts. Here was His ultimatum: “I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live, loving the LORD your God, obeying his voice, and cleaving to him; for that means life to you and length of days, that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” (Deut. 30:19-20) We see how respectful the Lord was to the free wills of the people of Isreal. They had to choose. He could not and would not force them into the path He had for them. Their wills had to be involved, forming and moving them to act as God had shown them. Our wills must also be actively involved in choosing the way that God is leading us through Our Lady. She cannot “save” us. But she can lead us and guide us into the right paths that will bring us to God. She speaks the words of life, but we must listen and choose to live that way of life that God is offering us through Our Lady. In other words, she cannot help us without US!! We need to be actively involved in the plan of salvation that is set before us. Mother will help us, but she needs us to be actively involved!! Mother needs us!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

March 28, 2025 Reflection – Call upon Mary!

Call upon Mary!   March 28, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! March 25, 2025 Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje: “Dear children, in this time of grace when you are called to conversion, I am encouraging you, little children: offer me your prayers, sufferings and tears for conversion of hearts that are far from the Heart of my Son Jesus. Pray with me, because, little children, without God you do not have a future or eternal life. I love you, but I cannot help you without you; therefore, say ‘yes’ to God. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With Ecclesiastical approval) Our Lady asks us – “Pray with me”! “Pray with me, because, little children, without God you do not have a future or eternal life.” Let us pray: In the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I Trust… Look to the Star, Call upon Mary! In danger, in difficulty or in doubt, think of Mary, call upon Mary! Keep her name on your lips, Never let it pass out of your heart. Following in her footsteps, you will not go astray: praying to her, you will not fall into despair: thinking of her you will not err. While she keeps hold of your hand, you will not fall … you will not grow weary … you will have no fear … Enjoying her protection, you will reach the goal. (Saint Bernard) In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

March 27, 2025 Reflection – Offer me your prayers, sufferings and tears…

Offer me your prayers, sufferings and tears…   March 25, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! March 25, 2025 Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje: “Dear children, in this time of grace when you are called to conversion, I am encouraging you, little children: offer me your prayers, sufferings and tears for conversion of hearts that are far from the Heart of my Son Jesus. Pray with me, because, little children, without God you do not have a future or eternal life. I love you, but I cannot help you without you; therefore, say ‘yes’ to God. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With Ecclesiastical approval) On Tuesday, Our Lady asked us to do something very surprising! Here is her request: “Dear children, in this time of grace when you are called to conversion, I am encouraging you, little children: offer me your prayers, sufferings and tears for conversion of hearts that are far from the Heart of my Son Jesus…” Mother Mary told us that we are in a time of grace in which we are called to conversion. Lent is the time of conversion, the call to return to God with all our hearts, our minds, and our souls! You would think this is a time for introversion, of working on our own salvation. A time to repent. And it is! But in this sentence, she turned that idea on its head! She told us: “I am encouraging you, little children: offer me your prayers, sufferings and tears for conversion of hearts that are far from the Heart of my Son Jesus.” Instead of looking at ourselves, seeking our own conversion, she wants us to offer our prayers and sufferings and tears for the conversion of hearts that are far from the Heart of her Son Jesus!! Our Lady is calling us to forget about ourselves, and pray for those who are far away from Jesus, those who do not know Him or love Him! This is the Lenten sacrifice she asks us to make, to pray for those who are far from Jesus! Actually, I think she is on to something. Spending our Lent praying for all the souls who are far from God is truly a sacrifice. We can put ourselves second, and instead pray for those who really need our prayer for their salvation! Our sacrifices this Lent for the sake of the conversion of unbelievers, or those who have fallen away from God, may help many souls return to the Lord, and also help us to grow in humility and love for others. This is God’s way! It is beautiful! Let’s offer our prayers, sufferings and tears for the conversion of our brothers and sisters who are far from the Heart of Jesus. A Lent filled with holy intercession!! May it be so! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S. https://marytv.tv/donate/ P.P.S.

Little children, be my hands of peace and prayer…   March 24, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Tomorrow we expect another message from Our Lady, and so today let’s review once again the message she gave to us on February 25, 2025! The February 25, 2025 Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje: Dear children, May this springtime be an encouragement for personal conversion for you, that with your lives you may pray and love God above all, for all those who are in need. Little children, be my hands of peace and prayer; be love for all those who do not love, do not pray and do not want peace. Thank you for having responded to my call. (February 25, 2025) Thank you, dearest Mother, for this beautiful call to pray and to love! As we learn to live in the ways that you call us to live, our hearts just grow and grow in joy and hope!

March 21, 2025 Reflection – Give me your hearts cleansed in confession…

Give me your hearts cleansed in confession…   March 21, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Here again is the message that Our Lady gave to us through Mirjana on March 18, 2025: “Dear children! With motherly love I implore you: give me your hands folded in prayer, give me your hearts cleansed in confession and I will lead you to my Son. Because, my children, only my Son, with His light, can illuminate the darkness; only He, with His Word, can remove suffering. Therefore, do not be afraid to walk with me, because I am leading you to my Son – Salvation. Thank you.” (With Ecclesiastical approval) …give me your hearts cleansed in confession… Our Lady not only asks for our hands folded in prayer, she also asks for our hearts cleansed in confession! This gift of our hearts, cleansed and healed in confession, is unbelievably beautiful and powerful. Our Lady longs for us to be free of all that constrains us. Our sins constrain us, keeping us from being able to live our lives as her Son longs for us to live. We are hobbled by our sins. And we are vulnerable to the enemy and his lies, when we have not confessed our sins. She wants her children to be free to love, free to give, free to worship her Son and live our lives in the light and joy of the Holy Spirit. May we run to confession!! May we unburden our hearts before the Lord. Our Lady longs to receive our hearts, cleansed in confession! Then we can have a joyful heart to heart relationship with her as well!!! Our lives will change!!! 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!

Give me your hands folded in prayer…   March 20, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Here again is the message that Our Lady gave to us through Mirjana on March 18, 2025: “Dear children! With motherly love I implore you: give me your hands folded in prayer, give me your hearts cleansed in confession and I will lead you to my Son. Because, my children, only my Son, with His light, can illuminate the darkness; only He, with His Word, can remove suffering. Therefore, do not be afraid to walk with me, because I am leading you to my Son – Salvation. Thank you.”  (With Ecclesiastical approval) This message from Our Lady is so touching, so personal, and so sweet! She speaks to us as her children! She calls us to be close to her. She extends her hands to us, and asks us to give her our hands… I have the image of a little toddler who automatically extends her hand towards her mother, with such confidence and trust, to walk with her, always being led in the right direction, safely and serenely. This is how I perceive Our Mother Mary. She is my Mother, my source of sustenance and hope, my comforter, my guide, my teacher, my dearest friend, my inspiration, my light, my way. She is my Mother! There is much healing in imagining such a moment with Our Lady. In prayer, we can reach out to Her, to hold her hand, as we pray, as we recite the Rosary, as we intercede for our families and friends, as we praise Jesus for His great love. Holding Mother Mary’s hand as we pray is the way to peace and healing, grace and enlightenment. Thank you, dearest Mother, for extending your loving hands towards us, offering us the deep comfort of being held by your strong and beautiful hands as we walk through our lives. We are the most blessed of children with such a mother!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S. https://marytv.tv/donate/ P.P.S.
