August 22, 2024 Reflection – The Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary!

The Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary!   August 22, 2024 The Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary Dear Family of Mary! “A great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars!” (Rv. 12:1) Today we honor our Mother Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth! She has been raised to this dignity by the Blessed Trinity! She is now our Queen! And what a queen she is! We could go on for hours, recalling all her titles! But she has chosen only one Queenly title in Medjugorje. She always calls herself the Queen of Peace! And so it is proper for us to remember her in this title. She has come to us in Medjugorje to bring us peace! It is her constant theme. Here is a powerful message from Our Lady to us all: March 25, 2021 “Dear children! Also, today I am with you to tell you: Little children, who prays does not fear the future and does not lose hope. You are chosen to carry joy and peace, because you are mine. I have come here with the name ‘Queen of Peace’ because the devil wants peacelessness and war, he wants to fill your heart with fear of the future – but the future is God’s. That is why, be humble and pray, and surrender everything into the hands of the Most High Who created you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” The devil wants peacelessness, he wants war. He wants to fill our hearts with fear of the future. He wants us to be discouraged and give up on a life of holiness so he can drag us into hell. Our Mother has come to us to bring us hope in the future, joy, and peace. As Queen of Peace she can establish peace. It is her realm. If we follow her, she will lead us into that peace which the Father wants to give us so much. She has the authority, because she is the Queen of Peace! Let’s follow her!! We honor you, dearest Mother, as our Queen of Peace. Lead us into the future which is God’s!! Bring us into the peace that passes all understanding, the peace your Son won for us! We will follow you!

August 21, 2024 Reflection – Mother of the Church, the destroyer of all heresies! 

Mother of the Church, the destroyer of all heresies!   August 21, 2024 St. Pius X Dear Family of Mary! This is a special feast day, St. Pius X! St. Pius X wrote extensively against the great menace to the faith, Modernism (see Pascendi Dominici Gregis – On Modernism, published on September 8, 1907)). He taught that modernism was the synthesis of all heresies. And we see what a terrible wreak it has made of the Christian world today. I do not think it is a mistake that the Feast of St. Pius X is placed the day before the Queenship of Mary! St. Pius uncovered the danger of Modernism, and Our Lady, Queen of Heaven and Earth, demolishes Modernism!! She it is who stands as a witness to the reality of all her Son has revealed to us and we must accept as a matter of faith. Our Lady gave us this message in 2015: March 25, 2015 “Dear children! Also today the Most High permits me to be with you and to lead you on the way of conversion. Many hearts have shut themselves to grace and have become deaf to my call. You, little children, pray and fight against temptation and all the evil plans which the devil offers you through modernism. Be strong in prayer and with the cross in your hands pray that evil may not use you and may not conquer in you. I am with you and pray for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Modernism is the great deception of our time. It is the great temptation and evil plan that the devil has been offering us for the past 200 years. And Our Mother, Mary, has come to equip us to defeat this plan. Through her messages and her presence, she has been building up a people of faith and trust in God. We are called to stand against the enemy, not allowing him to use or conquer in us! St. Pius X wrote these words at the end of Pascendi Dominici Gregis: “May Jesus Christ, the Author and finisher of our faith, be with you in His power; and may the Immaculate Virgin, the destroyer of all heresies, be with you by her prayers and aid!” Amen, and amen!! Let’s pray the Litany of Loreto with all our hearts today. Our Mother, Mary is with us to protect us from all heresy. May we listen to her words and rely on her guidance in these days! We look forward to Thursday with anticipation! The Litany of Loreto: V. Lord, have mercy. R. Christ have mercy. V. Lord have mercy. Christ hear us. R. Christ graciously hear us. God the Father of heaven, have mercy on us. God the Son, Redeemer of the world, have mercy on us. God the Holy Spirit, have mercy on us. Holy Trinity, one God, have mercy on us. Holy Mary, pray for us.

August 19, 2024 Reflection – May prayer become joy for you!

May prayer become joy for you!   August 19, 2024 St. John Eudes Dear Family of Mary! On Saturday, August 17, 2024, Ivan Dragicevic, one of the visionaries in Medjugorje, shared this account of the apparition he had on that day: August 17, 2024: Dear priests, dear friends in Christ, all dear ones united with us today via Zoom in prayer… While I’m trying to make it short because I know here is the Holy Mass beginning very soon, beginning at 7:00 pm, so to make it possible for them to make it on time there. So using my own words I’ll try to describe the most important from this evening’s encounter with Our Lady. Our Lady was very joyful and very happy this evening when she appeared. She greeted us all with the words, “Praised be Jesus my dear children!” And then she looked over all of us, extended her hands and prayed over us. And then Our Lady looked in the direction of St. James Church and prayed over all those who are participating in the evening prayer program. And then Our Lady addressed us all with the following words: “Dear children! Today I thank you again for living and witnessing with your lives my messages. Dear children, today again I wish to tell you, may the prayer become joy for you. May each one if these days become the joyful moment of your life…. Thank you dear children for having responded to my call.” Our Lady. blessed us with her Motherly blessing and she blessed all the religious articles that are brought here. And then I recommended all of you, all of your intentions your needs, your families and all of you who asked me personally to recommend them to Our Lady. And then Our Lady prayed over the priests present here, and then she prayed over the sick present here. And then she left in prayer, in the sign of the light and the cross, with the words, “Go in peace my dear children” I would say this is the most important from this evening’s encounter…. It is beautiful to hear that Our Lady thanked us this evening, she actually said thanks for living the messages and also for carrying these messages to others. And to remind you once again: Our Lady wants us really to rejoice while we are praying, and in this way to be more open to God’s love and God’s graces. Let us pray during this time even more than before! Our Lady encourages us. She really wants to stay strong with us. She knows that the world goes through a serious crisis. And of course we can see that Our Lady is very concerned about the situation in the world. But at the same time she tells us in her message with prayer and fasting you can even stop wars!  I would like to invite you all to join us praying and in this way we can give a response to Our Lady’s call. – Ivan Dragicevic Our Lady’s words are so comforting and joyful! Thank you, dearest Mother! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV. TV

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary   August 15, 2024 The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary!! Dear Family of Mary! Today is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary!! At Holy Mass today we pray this Entrance Antiphon: Glorious things are spoken of you, O Mary, who today were exalted above the choirs of Angels into eternal triumph with Christ. Glorious indeed is our Mother who was assumed, body and soul, into Heaven, to sit at the right hand of her Son, Jesus! We acclaim you as our Mother and Queen, O Mary!! On this great Solemnity, we pray day 9 of our little novena to Our Lady. Here is the message: September 25, 2021 “Dear children!

Little children, do not worry about earthly things, but long for Heaven. Heaven will be your goal and joy will begin to reign in your heart. I am with you and bless all of you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Can we not hear these words coming from Heaven for us! Our Lady is already in eternity, giving glory to God with all her being with all the saints! She has been assumed, Body and Soul, into the the Holy of Holies!! She longs for us to be with her in that holy place! And through her presence in Medjugorje, she calls us!! Today, may we renew our desire for Heaven, and promise Our Lady that we will not worry about earthly things but long for Heaven! Let’s promise her that we will make Heaven our goal, and allow joy to reign in our hearts. Let’s remember always that Our Lady is with us, and is blessing us with her motherly blessing! In her presence, we will not go astray. Dearest Mother Mary, we know that you were assumed into Heaven, body and soul, to be with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and all the Heavenly Host, for eternity. From Heaven, you come to us now, every day, in Medjugorje! You bring Heaven with you, and we all have felt it. We want to do everything we can to prepare for Heaven. We will listen to your words with our hearts, and respond as best we can. Thank you, dearest Mother, for being with us in Medjugorje! Amen, Alleluia! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV. TV

August 14, 2024 Reflection – You are called to holiness and created for Heaven!

You are called to holiness and created for Heaven!   August 14, 2024 St. Maximillian Kolbe Dear Family of Mary! Today is the Feast Day of St. Maximillian Kolbe! St. Maximillian was completely devoted to Mary, because He loved her so much, and knew that she was the safest way to Jesus. Such an amazing saint!! He said about Mary: “Let us run to Mary, and, as her little children, cast ourselves into her arms with a perfect confidence.” He also said: “The Son of God became man for our salvation but only in Mary and through Mary.” St. Maximillian Kolbe is the perfect saint to help us prepare for the Assumption of Our Lady! Let’s ask his intercession today! Today is also Day 8 of our little novena before the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary! And here is the message for today: January 25, 2018 “Dear children! May this time be for you a time of prayer, so that the Holy Spirit, through prayer, may descend upon you and give you conversion. Open your hearts and read the Sacred Scripture, that through the testimonies you also may be closer to God. Above everything, little children, seek God and the things of God and leave earthly ones to the earth, because Satan is attracting you to the dust and sin. You are called to holiness and created for Heaven; therefore, seek Heaven and the things of Heaven. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Mother Mary teaches us so well. Every word in this message is essential and has great meaning for us. She is so practical and yet so lofty. Let’s take time today to pray with this message, asking St. Maximillian to help us to grasp the full meaning of Mother’s words. In this time we are living in, we need to understand her completely. Our Lady’s aim is for us to attain Heaven, nothing less! Dearest Mother Mary, we know that you were assumed into Heaven, body and soul, to be with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and all the Heavenly Host, for eternity. From Heaven, you come to us now, every day, in Medjugorje! You bring Heaven with you, and we all have felt it. We want to do everything we can to prepare for Heaven. We will listen to your words with our hearts, and respond as best we can. Thank you, dearest Mother, for being with us in Medjugorje! Amen, Alleluia! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV. TV

August 13, 2024 Reflection – Pray that through prayer you may yearn for Heaven

Pray that through prayer you may yearn for Heaven   August 13, 2024 Sts. Pontian and Hippolytus Dear Family of Mary! Today is Day 7 of our little novena before the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary! And here is the message for today: May 25, 2017 “Dear children! The Most High has permitted me to call you anew to conversion. Little children, open your hearts to the grace to which you are all called. Be witnesses of peace and love in this peaceless world. Your life here on earth is passing. Pray that through prayer you may yearn for Heaven and the things of Heaven and your hearts will see everything differently. You are not alone; I am with you and intercede before my Son Jesus for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady counsels us to “Pray that through prayer you may yearn for Heaven!” She knows that it is only when we pray that we will begin to have the desire for Heaven. We are like little blind puppies before we learn to pray. It is in prayer itself, that our eyes are opened to the things of God and we begin to yearn for God and Heaven. As Our Lady tells us, through prayer “your hearts will see everything differently”. She knows what she is talking about! We need the salve of prayer generously applied to our spiritual eyes, so that we will be healed of our blindness, begin to see our world in all its poverty, and yearn for Heaven in the far distance! Dearest Mother Mary, we know that you were assumed into Heaven, body and soul, to be with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and all the Heavenly Host, for eternity. From Heaven, you come to us now, every day, in Medjugorje! You bring Heaven with you, and we all have felt it. We want to do everything we can to prepare for Heaven. We will listen to your words with our hearts, and respond as best we can. Thank you, dearest Mother, for being with us in Medjugorje! Amen, Alleluia! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV. TV

…have more trust in God!   August 12, 2024 St. Jane Frances de Chantal Dear Family of Mary! Today is Day 6 of our little novena before the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary! And here is the message for today: May 25, 2018  “Dear children! In this peaceless time, I am calling you to have more trust in God who is your Father in Heaven and who has sent me to lead you to Him. You, open your hearts to the gifts which He desires to give you and, in the silence of your heart, adore my Son Jesus who has given His life so that you may live in eternity – where He desires to lead you. May your hope be the joy of a meeting with the Most High in everyday life. Therefore, I am calling you: do not neglect prayer because prayer works miracles. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Everything Our Lady tells us in this message points us to Heaven. She has such a simple way of re-routing our thoughts to the correct destination! We get embroiled in our troubles in this life, and for many of those troubles, we have no control. So Our Lady teaches us the way to manage our lives without the anxiety that our situations may cause. Let our Mother’s words sink into our hearts in such a way that we learn from her how to travel through this life with our eyes firmly fixed on our Father, who is in Heaven! Dearest Mother Mary, we know that you were assumed into Heaven, body and soul, to be with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and all the Heavenly Host, for eternity.

August 11, 2024 Reflection – I am your mother…

I am your mother…   August 11, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Today is Day 5 of our little novena before the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary! Our Lady simply invites us into a closer relationship with her, in which she wants to guide us into the safety of her motherly love. Those of us who are older may not know what it is like to have such a mother! But, through prayer we can learn to love Our Lady as our mother! Listen to her words: August 25, 1998 “Dear children! Today I invite you to come still closer to me through prayer. Little children, I am your mother, I love you and I desire that each of you be saved and thus be with me in Heaven. That is why, little children, pray, pray, pray until your life becomes prayer… Thank you for having responded to my call.” Mother Mary, we want very much to be closer to you. We want to experience you as our mother. Save us, and bring us to Heaven. We say yes, we will pray, pray, pray! Dearest Mother Mary, we know that you were assumed into Heaven, body and soul, to be with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and all the Heavenly Host, for eternity.
