July 11, 2024 Reflection – I desire to be of help to you.

As a mother, I desire to be of help to you!   July 11, 2024 St. Benedict Dear Family of Mary! In this message we can hear the cry of our Mother’s heart. She tells us her desires! And they are all focused on our welfare. The desires of her heart are for our wellbeing. May we cooperate with Our Lady in all her desires. May it be so, may it be so!! March 18, 2014 “Dear children! As a mother, I desire to be of help to you. With my motherly love, I desire to help you to open your heart and to put my Son in the first place in it. Through your love for my Son and through your prayer, I desire for God’s light to illuminate you and God’s mercy to fill you. In this way, I desire for the darkness, and the shadow of death which wants to encompass and mislead you, to be driven away. I desire for you to feel the joy of the blessing of God’s promise. You, children of man, you are God’s children – you are my children. Therefore, my children, set out on the ways on which my love leads you, teaches you humility and wisdom, and finds the way to the Heavenly Father. Pray with me for those who do not accept me and do not follow me – those who, because of hardness of their hearts, cannot feel the joy of humility, devotion, peace and love- the joy of my Son. Pray that your shepherds, with their blessed hands, may always give you the joy of God’s blessing. Thank you.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV. TV

July 10, 2024 Reflection – A Rosary Challenge

A Rosary Challenge   July 10, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Today we have a Rosary challenge. Here are five messages from Our Lady in which she tells us she is with us. Let’s read a message before each decade of the Rosary today, and let Our Lady’s words fill us with God’s peace and blessing! It is simple, just let Her words wrap our hearts with peace!! May 25, 1994 “Dear children! I invite you all to have more trust in me and to live my messages more deeply. I am with you and I intercede before God for you but also I wait for your hearts to open up to my messages. Rejoice because God loves you and gives you the possibility to convert every day and to believe more in God the Creator. Thank you having responded to my call.” October 25, 1994 “Dear children! I am with you and I rejoice today because the Most High has granted me to be with you and to teach you and to guide you on the path of perfection. Little children, I wish you to be a beautiful bouquet of flowers which I wish to present to God for the day of All Saints. I invite you to open yourselves and to live, taking the saints as an example. Mother Church has chosen them, that they may be an impulse for your daily life. Thank you for having responded to my call!” 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.” January 25, 1995 “Dear children! I invite you to open the door of your heart to Jesus as the flower opens itself to the sun. Jesus desires to fill your hearts with peace and joy. You cannot, little children, realize peace if you are not at peace with Jesus. Therefore, I invite you to confession so Jesus may be your truth and peace. So, little children, pray to have the strength to realize what I am telling you. I am with your and I love you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” August 25, 1995 “Dear children! Today I invite you to prayer. Let prayer be life for you. A family cannot say that it is in peace if it does not pray. Therefore, let your morning begin with morning prayer, and the evening end with thanksgiving. Little children, I am with you, and I love you and I bless you and I wish for every one of you to be in my embrace. You cannot be in my embrace if you are not ready to pray every day. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Amen In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV. TV

July 9, 2024 Reflection – Pray therefore the Lord of the Harvest…

Pray therefore the Lord of the Harvest…   July 9, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! In our Gospel for today, we see Jesus traveling from town to town, spreading the Kingdom and healing His people. It was His hallmark: to preach and heal and call all people into His Kingdom:” And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” (Matthew 9:35-38, RSV-CE) Doesn’t this sound like our world today? So many people harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd? And thanks be to God, Our Lady is answering the call Jesus gave in the Gospel “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”(Mt 9:38) She is gathering her children around her and sending us out to harvest. But she acknowledges that our enemy is also at work, harvesting: July 25, 2020 “Dear children! In this peaceless time in which the devil is harvesting souls to draw them to himself, I am calling you to persevering prayer, so that in prayer you discover the God of love and hope. Little children, take the Cross in your hands. May it be your encouragement for love to always win, in a special way now when the Cross and faith are rejected. You be a reflection and an example with your lives that faith and hope are still alive and a new world of peace is possible. I am with you and intercede for you before my Son, Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady sees that the devil is doing the harvesting of souls in our day, in an extraordinary way. And so she calls us to become like her Son, Jesus, and harvest souls for God! She wants us to “be a reflection and an example with your lives that faith and hope are still alive and a new world of peace is possible!” We can harvest souls for the Lord, by our lives that reflect His love and give an example of how to live faith and hope. We must try to harvest souls, through our goodness and example. Mother Mary is with us and prays for us to be steadfast in this call. What a glorious call it is!

July 8, 2024 Reflection – My children, be ready!

My children, be ready!   July 8, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! In the Gospel for today, Matthew 9:18-26, Jesus raises a little girl from death. He was mocked for even trying to help her by the people who had gathered. But He paid no attention to them, and after they were put out of the house, he took the little girl by the hand and raised her from death to life. We are being called to prayer and to the works of love that Jesus did, in our time. It is a matter of love, not of power! Jesus will help us to bring faith and healing and love to those we meet. It only takes our “yes” to His call. Mother Mary would have us do these works. Here is a message she gave us in 2017, encouraging us to pray and love in our day: 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 pray as Mother asks. May we believe as she recommends. May we love as she calls us to love. This is a turning point, truly the battle for God’s Kingdom must be fought. Pray and love!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV. TV

July 5, 2024 Reflection – I love you with the immeasurable love of Jesus.

I love you with the immeasurable love of Jesus.   July 4, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Here is your homework for the weekend. Let’s take time to pray with this message, pondering each phrase, until it’s full meaning is opened to us. Our Lady would love to help us! She wants us to comprehend the immeasurable love which gave itself for each one of 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.” God bless you all!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV. TV

July 4, 2024 Reflection – “To know or to not know Jesus Christ!”

“To know or to not know Jesus Christ!”   July 4, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Yesterday was the Feast of St. Thomas, Apostle. And we heard in the Gospel reading about how Thomas was not present when the other disciples encountered the Risen Jesus, who walked through the locked door and presented Himself to them. And that Thomas would not believe that Jesus was alive unless he could put his fingers in the holes in His hands, and put his hand in Jesus’ side. We know that one week later, Jesus appeared to them all, and turned to Thomas, offering His hands and side as evidence that He was truly risen! It is an amazing event. Thomas declared, “My Lord and my God!” Denis tells me that Thomas was the first apostle to declare that Jesus was his Lord and his God. This act of faith came out of Thomas’ deepest self, out of the darkness of his unbelief which had turned into the light of faith! Thomas went on to be an incredible Apostle, traveling throughout Asia, making disciples for the Lord. At Mass yesterday, our parish priest, Fr. Peter, said in his homily that this transformation in Thomas demonstrates the deepest reality in a human being’s life. He said, “There is only one great joy and one great tragedy in life: To know or to not know Jesus Christ.” These words make sense out of everything! Thomas made the transition from no faith to total faith in one moment. We, too, must reach that critical moment when we choose to believe or not to believe in Christ. Each human must make that choice. It is the moment we know Christ or we turn away from Him. Our Lady told Jelena 1983:, “I have come to tell the world that God is truth; He exists.” She was sent by the Father to save as many souls as possible in these most difficult times. It is the fundamental choice that must be made in each heart. And Our Lady is with us to shine the light of the Holy Spirit upon each heart so that they can see that fundamental choice and choose God! They can open their hearts to know Jesus! (We know of the countless conversions that take place in Medjugorje. They are the fruit of Our Lady’s transforming love.) Finally, I want to share a moment in prayer that I had after Mass. Fr. Peter’s homily had a profound effect upon me. And when I prayed about it, I realized that my mind and heart are constantly being barraged by fearful thoughts, hopeless thoughts, sad thoughts, etc… I realized that all those thoughts were trying to drag me away from the one thing necessary, my faith in Jesus. I turned to the Lord for help and here is what I heard: “Fill your mind with these two words. Say them constantly. They will protect you from all those temptations to faithlessness. The words are: “Only Jesus”. I immediately started to slowly say “Only Jesus” over and over in my heart and mind. And peace began to grow in my heart, my mind, my spirit. “Only Jesus,” “Only Jesus.” I believe there is a huge battle for souls in our time, as the enemy wants to convince as many people as possible that there is no God, no Jesus. This is the fundamental battle ground for each one of us and for the world. To argue with the enemy is useless. To assert gently over and over again, “Only Jesus”, drives the enemy away. May we stay very close to Jesus, “Only Jesus”! And very close to Mother Mary, “I have come to tell the world that God is truth, He exists.” God bless you all!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV. TV

July 3, 2024 Reflection – I am with you!!!

I am with you!!!   July 3, 2024 St. Thomas Dear Family of Mary! Here is another message in which Our Lady assures us that she is with us! I need to hear this every day: March 25, 1991  “Dear children! Again today I invite you to live the passion of Jesus in prayer, and in union with Him. Decide to give more time to God who gave you these days of grace. Therefore, dear children, pray… and in a special way renew the love for Jesus in your hearts. I am with you and I accompany you with my blessing and my prayers. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady tells us to renew our relationship with Jesus in a very beautiful way in this message – through living the passion of Jesus in prayer and renewing our love for Jesus in our hearts. She knows that we cannot live without a deep attachment to her Son. And she also assures us that she is with us! And this is also necessary! She confirmed that she is with us during the Novena before the 43rd Anniversary. She called us to Apparition Hill, and then appeared to Marija (and also Ivan) each night with us all present! It was such a comfort, such a blessing for us all! May we stay close Jesus and to our Mother in these days. We need them both so very much! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV. TV

July 2, 2024 Reflection – “I love you immeasurably!”

“I love you immeasurably!”   July 2, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! November 25, 1987  “Dear children! Today also I call each one of you to decide to surrender again everything completely to me. Only that way will I be able to present each of you to God. Dear children, you know that I love you immeasurably and that I desire each of you for myself, but God has given to all a freedom which I lovingly respect and humbly submit to. I desire, dear children, that you help so that everything God has planned in this parish shall be realized. If you do not pray, you shall not be able to recognize my love and the plans which God has for this parish and for each individual. Pray that Satan does not entice you with his pride and deceptive strength. I am with you and I want you to believe me, that I love you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV. TV

July 1, 2024 Reflection – “I am with you!!”

“I am with you”   July 1, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady was with us in such a powerful way during the Anniversary Novena with Marija and Ivan on Apparition Hill. Each day, we prayed together for a long time! We prayed two sets of mysteries in anticipation of Our Lady’s apparition, and then one more set of mysteries after Our Lady came. As we prayed, our desire to pray grew and grew! It was an amazing time of grace. At the end of the last night of prayer, Mike Nolan told Denis and I that he felt Our Lady saying in his heart, “I am with you! I am with you! I am with you! I am with you!…” The power and intensity of her words grew each time. This was the great grace given to us during that novena! Our Lady wanted us to feel how very much she is with us in these days. I realized I had felt the same thing . “I am with you! I am with you…” Knowing how strongly Our Lady is with us changes everything. Here is a message Our Lady gave to us on January 25, 1987. As we read it, keep in mind the Novena we prayed with Our Lady this June. Let her words penetrate our hearts. This is our call: January 25, 1987 The first apparition of the 25th of the month, given to Marija, for the parish: “Today I want to appeal to all of you to start living a new life from this day on. Dear children, I wish that you would understand that God has chosen each one of you to have a part in the great plan for the salvation of mankind. You cannot fully understand how great your role is in God’s design. For that reason, pray, dear children, so that through prayer, you may be able to know your role in God’s plan. I am with you, so that you may be able to realize it fully.” This plan has not changed! We are part of God’s great plan for the salvation of mankind! We may not understand it yet. But it is real. Our Lady is with us, so that we may be able to realize it fully!! She is with us!! She is with us!! She is with us!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV. TV

June 28, 2024 Reflection – May God be your tomorrow…

May God be your tomorrow…   June 28, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! I am truly exhausted from the past two weeks of Anniversary Joy! Our Lady called us to be with her in a very special way, on Apparition Hill for the Novena! And we have been so blessed by her presence with us! We don’t want to ever forget the gift we have been given!! Together, we can live each day with Our Lady. Here is beautiful message she gave us on another June 25! Let her words call us forth in faith and hope, so that our hearts may sing with joy!! June 25, 2015 “Dear children! Also today the Most High gives me the grace to be able to love you and to call you to conversion. Little children, may God be your tomorrow and not war and lack of peace; not sorrow but joy and peace must begin to reign in the heart of every person – but without God you will never find peace. Therefore, little children, return to God and to prayer so that your heart may sing with joy. I am with you and I love you with immeasurable love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV. TV
