December 18, 2024 Reflection – Permit God to lead you as a shepherd leads his flock.

Permit God to lead you as a shepherd leads his flock.   December 18, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! We draw ever closer to Christmas! Here is another November 25th message for us to ponder. Our Lady’s words to us are so fruitful, if we take them seriously and pray with them in the silence of our hearts. 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.” Our job is to pray, pray, pray…Especially at this time before the coming of the Baby Jesus! Maybe we can be led by the Lord, as a Shepherd leads His sheep!! God bless you, Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S.

December 17, 2024 Reflection – In love, may your life be a gift for others…

In love, may your life be a gift for others.. December 17, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! In this November 25th message, Our Lady calls us to live a simple life, filled with love and prayer. She lived that simple life so beautifully. And she knows that it is when we live humbly, simply, and as a gift for others that we will find true joy and blessing. May her words fill us with deep peace and the grace of a simple life: November 25, 2016  “Dear children! Also today, I am calling you to return to prayer. In this time of grace, God has permitted me to lead you towards holiness and a simple life – that in little things you discover God the Creator; that you fall in love with Him; and that your life be a thanksgiving to the Most High for everything He is giving you. Little children, in love, may your life be a gift for others and God will bless you; but you, witness without interest – out of love for God. I am with you and intercede before my Son for all of you. Thank you for having responded to my call…” Thank you, dearest Mother, for calling us to live a life for others out of love for God. May this Christmas be truly a celebration of love, love for Jesus, and love for others! God bless you, Cathy Nolan Mary TV

December 16, 2024 Reflection – May hope begin to flow through your hearts

May hope begin to flow through your hearts   December 16, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! The word I am hearing this week is “hope”!! Sunday was the 3rd Sunday of Advent, and it was all about hope. But I think this week is filled with more and more hope! Here is another November 25 Message, and it is all about hope: November 25, 2008 “Dear children! Also today I call you, in this time of grace, to pray for little Jesus to be born in your heart. May He, who is peace itself, give peace to the entire world through you. Therefore, little children, pray without ceasing for this turbulent world without hope, so that you may become witnesses of peace for all. May hope begin to flow through your hearts as a river of grace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady wants hope to flow through our hearts as a river of grace!! This is a wonderful thing!! May it be so!!! May Little Jesus be born in our hearts so that He will give us His Peace and we will have Hope!! St. Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians put it this way: “For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power in us who believe, according to the working of his great might which he accomplished in Christ when he raised him from the dead and made him sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come; and he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church, which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all in all.” (Ephesians 1:15-23, RSV-CE) Wow!! That is a mouthful!! Did you notice that is one sentence?? St. Paul, you rock!! But what he says is absolutely incredible. May we read St. Paul’s words over a few times until the full breadth of his desire for us is understood! He wants hope to flow through our hearts like a river of grace!! God bless you, Cathy Nolan Mary TV

December 13, 2024 Reflection – Open your heart to God through Holy Confession

Open your heart to God through Holy Confession   December 13, 2024 St. Lucy Dear Family of Mary! As we draw ever closer to Christmas, we need to prepare our hearts for the coming of little Jesus! We all instinctually feel that to celebrate the birth of the little King of Peace, we must be purified. The Infant Jesus draws us to His purity. We gaze upon Him in awe and wonder! In this message, Our Lady shows us how to prepare for the coming of her Son: November 25, 2002  “Dear children! I call you also today to conversion. Open your heart to God, little children, through Holy Confession and prepare your soul so that little Jesus can be born anew in your heart. Permit Him to transform you and lead you on the way of peace and joy. Little children, decide for prayer. Especially now, in this time of grace, may your heart yearn for prayer. I am close to you and intercede before God for all of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May we prepare our souls so that the Little Jesus can be born anew in them! Holy Confession is the answer! We are so blessed to be able to approach this Sacrament freely and often! Thank you, dearest Jesus, for Holy Confession!! God bless you, Cathy Nolan Mary TV

December 12, 2024 Reflection – Our Lady of Guadalupe

Our Lady of Guadalupe   December 12, 2024 Our Lady of Guadalupe Dear Family of Mary! Today is the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe! She is the Patroness of the Americas, where Denis and I live. God sent her here to introduce His Son to the people of America, who were in so much need of Jesus’ love. She converted millions! Through her gentle motherly love for Juan Diego, she was able to make of him a worthy witness to her presence and her plan for Mexico. Juan Diego sat by her image for many years, explaining her love and presence to the converted peoples. It was stupendous!! I love the way Mother Mary spoke to Juan Diego. It is so tender, so sweet. Here is one conversation she had with him: “Listen, put it into your heart, my youngest and dearest son, that the thing that disturbs you, the thing that afflicts you, is nothing. Do not let your countenance, your heart be disturbed. Do not fear this sickness of your uncle or any other sickness, nor anything that is sharp or hurtful. Am I not here, I, who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not the source of your joy? Are you not in the hollow of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms? Do you need anything more? Let nothing else worry you, disturb you. Do not let your uncle’s illness worry you, because he will not die now. You may be certain that he is already well.” I love Mother Mary!! She is the best of mothers!!! Our Lady has a beautiful style of speaking to the visionaries and all of us in Medjugorje as well. It is equally beguiling. Here is one example: August 2, 2005 (Mirjana) “Dear children, I came to you with open arms, so that I could take you all into my arms, under my mantle. I cannot do this while your hearts are filled with false light and false idols. Clean them and let my angels sing in them. Then, I will take you under my mantle and give you my Son, true peace, and happiness. Do not wait my children. Thank you!” We are so blessed to have such a Mother!! Yes, yes, we want to be under your mantle, dearest Mother! Take us in your arms and keep us safe and at peace in your love! God bless you, Cathy Nolan Mary TV

December 11, 2024 Reflection – The coming of the King of Peace!

The coming of the King of Peace!   December 11, 2024 St. Damasus I Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady came to us on June 24, 1981 as the Queen of Peace. She has come to us every day since then as the Queen of Peace. Peace is utmost in her mind. And after 43 years, we see why. The world continues to descend into hatred and peacelessness. But she will not give up! Her love for us is too strong! She told us in 2001: November 25, 2001 “Dear children! In this time of grace, I call you anew to prayer. Little children, pray and prepare your hearts for the coming of the King of Peace, that with His blessing He may give peace to the whole world. Peacelessness has begun to reign in hearts and hatred reigns in the world. That is why, you who live my messages be the light and extended hands to this faithless world that all may come to know the God of Love. Do not forget, little children, I am with you and bless you all. Thank you for having responded to my call.” We cannot give up! As we approach the celebration of the Birth of the King of Peace, we must again commit ourselves to being the light and extended hands of Our Lady to this faithless world. We cannot give up until all men come to know the God of Love!! Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us!! God bless you, Cathy Nolan Mary TV

December 10, 2024 Reflection – Begin again to love…

Begin again to love…   December 10, 2024 Our Lady of Loreto Dear Family of Mary! The November 25 message for today is all about love! Our Lady is clear, we must love!! November 25, 1995 “Dear Children! Today I invite you that each of you begin again to love, in the first place, God who saved and redeemed each of you, and then brothers and sisters in your proximity. Without love, little children, you cannot grow in holiness and cannot do good deeds. Therefore, little children, pray without ceasing that God reveals His love to you. I have invited all of you to unite yourselves with me and to love. Today I am with you and invite you to discover love in your hearts and in the families. For God to live in your hearts, you must love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” We are witnessing in the Advent time, the incredible love of God for us. As St. John tells us: John 3: 16-17 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Every Advent we again witness the great love of God, in the sending of Jesus into the world, as one of us, to save us and bring us back to the Father. This is the love that saves! We must recognize and embrace that love as well! We must love with Christ’s love! God bless you, Cathy Nolan Mary TV  

December 9, 2024 Reflection – The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary   December 9, 2024 The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary Dear Family of Mary! Today is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary! Usually celebrated on December 8, it was transferred to December 9, in deference to the Second Sunday of Advent. This Solemnity declares that Mary, by a prevenient grace, was preserved from all stain of sin from the moment of her conception, by the salvific death and resurrection of her Son, Jesus. Mary did not know any sin, including original sin. And so she was prepared to be the worthy Mother of the Savior. We can only rejoice in this amazing gift of God to us!! Jesus’ pure and spotless Mother is now our Mother too! We are so blessed! Our Lady gave us this message (another November 25 message) in which she offers us the privilege of drawing near to her Immaculate Heart: November 25, 1994 “Dear children! Today I call you to prayer. I am with you and I love you all. I am your Mother and I wish that your hearts be similar to my heart. Little children, without prayer you cannot live and say that you are mine. Prayer is joy. Prayer is what the human heart desires. Therefore, get closer, little children, to my Immaculate Heart and you will discover God. Thank you for having responded to my call.” This message is incredibly beautiful! Our Lady wishes that our hearts would become similar to hers! She knows we cannot become just as pure as she it, but she wants our hearts to be similar to hers! And the way to achieve that similarity is by living our lives in very close proximity to her, through prayer and love! This is such a gift! A close friend shared this little prayer that was written by St. John Vianney. It is so pure and simple, that I find it very powerful! We can pray it today, as much as possible. In that way we might be able to draw closer to Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart! In doing so, we may discover God!! Prayer of St. John Vianney: Blessed be forever the Most Holy and Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God! Amen Amen!!! God bless you, Cathy Nolan Mary TV

December 6, 2024 Reflection – Let little Jesus reign in your hearts!

Let little Jesus reign in your hearts   December 6, 2024 St. Nicholas Dear Family of Mary! Today’s November 25 message is the perfect Advent message! Let Our Lady’s words bring focus to our Advent days! And have a blessed weekend, with rest and prayer and especially with joy at the coming of the Savior! November 25, 1993  “Dear children! I invite you in this time like never before to prepare for the coming of Jesus. Let little Jesus reign in your hearts and only then when Jesus is your friend will you be happy. It will not be difficult for you either to pray or offer sacrifices or to witness Jesus’ greatness in your life because He will give you strength and joy in this time. I am close to you by my intercession and prayer and I love and bless all of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” God bless you, Cathy Nolan Mary TV  

December 5, 2024 Reflection – This time also I am inviting you to prayer.

This time also I am inviting you to prayer.   December 5, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Again today, we have a November 25 message! This one is from 1991! And it is another powerful message for us! November 25, 1991  “Dear Children! This time also I am inviting you to prayer. Pray that you might be able to comprehend what God desires to tell you through my presence and through the messages I am giving you. I desire to draw you ever closer to Jesus and to His wounded heart that you might be able to comprehend the immeasurable love which gave itself for each one of you. Therefore, dear children, pray that from your heart would flow a fountain of love to every person both to the one who hates you and to the one who despises you. That way you will be able through Jesus’ love to overcome all the misery in this world of sorrows, which is without hope for those who do not know Jesus. I am with you and I love you with the immeasurable love of Jesus. Thank you for all your sacrifices and prayers. Pray so I might be able to help you still more. Your prayers are necessary to me. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady speaks very candidly about our world, and the sorrows and hopelessness that plague us here on earth. Mother Mary is very honest with us. Even as we approach Christmas, she speaks about such things as “(Jesus’) wounded heart”, “the one who hates you…”, “the one who despises you…”, “the misery in this world of sorrows, which is without hope…”! Mother Mary is a realist. She knows all about the woes of our world. But she does not give up, and she calls us to not give up either. She calls us to draw closer to Jesus and to His wounded heart so that we might be able to comprehend the immeasurable love which gave itself for each one of us. That love will heal and save the world!! That is what Christmas is all about! Take Our Lady’s words to heart: “This time also I am inviting you to prayer.” God bless you, Cathy Nolan Mary TV
