Follow me… March 11, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady calls us to follow her. She comes every day to Medjugorje, in order to gather us to herself, and lead us forward. Her motherly heart is filled with love for us, and draws us to herself through that love. Here are 5 messages in which she calls us to follow her. Let’s pray a rosary today, meditating on these messages and opening our hearts to her call: June 25, 2008 “Dear children! Also today, with great joy in my heart, I call you to follow me and to listen to my messages. Be joyful carriers of peace and love in this peaceless world. I am with you and I bless you all with my Son Jesus, the King of Peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” July 25, 2010 “Dear children! Anew I call you to follow me with joy. I desire to lead all of you to my Son, your Savior. You are not aware that without Him you do not have joy and peace, nor a future or eternal life. Therefore, little children, make good use of this time of joyful prayer and surrender. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May 2, 2005 “Dear children, I am with you that I can take you all to my Son. I wish to lead you all to salvation. Follow me, because in just this way you will find true peace and happiness. My little children come with me!” January 2, 2007 “Dear Children! In this holy time full of God’s graces and His love which sends me to you, I implore you not to have a heart of stone. May fasting and prayer be your weapon for drawing closer to and coming to know Jesus, my Son. Follow me and my luminous example. I will help you. I am with you. Thank you.” April 2, 2012 “Dear children, As the Queen of Peace, I desire to give peace to you, my children, true peace which comes through the heart of my Divine Son. As a mother I pray that wisdom, humility and goodness may come to reign in your hearts; that peace may reign; that my Son may reign… When my Son will be the ruler in your hearts, you will be able to help others to come to know Him. When heavenly peace comes to rule over you, those who are seeking it in the wrong places, thus causing pain to my motherly heart, will recognize it. My children, great will be my joy when I see that you are accepting my words and that you desire to follow me. Do not be afraid, you are not alone. Give me your hands and I will lead you. Do not forget your shepherds. Pray that in their thoughts they may always be with my Son who called them to witness Him. Thank you.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024 P.S.

The Great Sign has been granted!   March 8, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady has told us that Satan has a plan to destroy as many of God’s children as he can. It is a devious and hidden plan which poisons minds and hearts to God and the good. It is called Modernism. Here is one of her messages in which she has warned us of Satan’s plan: May 25, 2010 “Dear children! God gave you the grace to live and to defend all the good that is in you and around you, and to inspire others to be better and holier; but Satan, too, does not sleep and through modernism diverts you and leads you to his way. Therefore, little children, in the love for my Immaculate Heart, love God above everything and live His commandments. In this way, your life will have meaning and peace will rule on earth. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Modernism is a powerful tool for evil, because it insinuates new ways of thinking that seem harmless but are poison for the soul. Our godless societies today are the fruit of modernism. But there is an antidote. If souls can be shown that God does exist, they will drop modernism in a moment! God exists!! This is the great truth that will destroy Satan’s masterplan to steal souls. God has granted the Great Sign. Our Lady gave the visionaries this message: Tuesday, August 31, 1982 “I do not dispose all graces. I receive from God what I obtain through prayer. God has placed His complete trust in me. I protect particularly, those who have been consecrated to me. The great sign has been granted. It will appear independently of the conversion of the people.” The Great Sign has been granted!! And Mary TV has been directed in prayer to build a facility at the foot of Apparition Hill, from which the Great Sign can be streamed live throughout the world. I have included a link (below) to a video on Mary TV’s website that explains our project to stream the Great Sign. Please watch it and share it with others. And please pray for Mary TV, that all will be accomplished in God’s time! Here is the video: God to the link below and play the video at the top of the page!

Be joyfully extended hands towards those who do not believe…   March 7, 2024 Sts. Perpetua and Felicity Dear Family of Mary! Today we celebrate two women who were early Christina martyrs, St. Perpetua and St. Felicity. Their witness was incredible. Perpetua was a young mother with a tiny infant. She refused to abandon her Christian faith. Felicity was also a young woman, who was eight months pregnant. She too would not renounce her faith. They remained faithful, waiting for the birth of Felicity’s little child, and were then led into the arena to be killed by wild animals and soldier’s swords. Their witness impressed even their captors. And we too are in awe of their courage and love of God. Our Lady would say that these two young women were her extended hands. They gave up everything for love of her Son, Jesus! And their witness helped many to convert and draw closer to God. As Our Lady said to us: “Be my extended hands for every creature, so that it may draw closer to the God of love.” (06/25/09) Certainly St. Felicity and St. Perpetua are her extended hands to this day! Listen to this call from our Mother, Mary: November 25, 1997  “Dear children! Today I invite you to comprehend your Christian vocation. Little children, I led and am leading you through this time of grace, that you may become conscious of your Christian vocation. Holy martyrs died witnessing: I am a Christian and love God over everything. Little children, today also I invite you to rejoice and be joyful Christians, responsible and conscious that God called you in a special way to be joyfully extended hands toward those who do not believe, and that through the example of your life, they may receive faith and love for God. Therefore, pray, pray, pray that your heart may open and be sensitive for the Word of God. Thank you for having responded to my call. It is a beautiful reality that God calls us to be “joyfully extended hands toward those who do not believe and that through the example of your life, they may receive faith and love for God!” May it be so!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024  

Be my extended hands…   March 6, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady said to us: “Dear children! Pray and renew your heart so that the good which you have sown may bear the fruit of joy and oneness with God. Darnel has seized many hearts and they have become unfruitful; that is why, you little children, be light, love and my outstretched hands in this world which yearns for God Who is love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (02/25/24) I must admit that sometimes I can’t take in all Our Lady says to us in her monthly message all at once. Each month I need time to let her words sink in. It seems especially true when she asks us to actually do something for her. It just doesn’t sink in. For instance she said in the most recent message, “…you little children, be light, love and my outstretched hands in this world which yearns for God Who is love.” She asked us to be light! How can we be light? She asked us to be love! I guess we can grasp this task a little. But then she asked us to be her outstretched hands!!! Again, I am not sure how to do it? It is something to ponder. To be her hands, stretched out to others, is a great honor. But how do we do it? I decided to look at the messages from the past in which Our Lady mentioned this task. Here are a few for us to ponder. We want to respond with a big yes to Our Lady’s requests! Maybe we can pray over these like a litany… Be my extended hands… 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. (11/25/01) Open your hearts, little children, and let your hands be extended and generous so that, through you, every creature may thank God the Creator. (9/25/04) You, little children, be my extended hands and by your example draw them closer to my Heart and the Heart of my Son. (11/25/04) Today I call you to be my extended hands in this world that puts God in the last place. You, little children, put God in the first place in your life. God will bless you and give you strength to bear witness to Him, the God of love and peace. (02/25/05) Be my extended hands for every creature, so that it may draw closer to the God of love. (06/25/09) Little children, be my extended hands, hands of love for all those who have become lost, who have no more faith and hope. (11/25/09) Witness and pray that you may be my extended hands to this world which yearns for God and peace. (12/25/11) Through prayer, the Most High will give you an abundance of grace and you will become my extended hands in this restless world which longs for peace (01/25/12) You, little children, be my extended hands and proudly go with God. (06/25/19) Leave sin and evil, decide for holiness and joy will begin to reign; and you will be my extended hands in this lost world. (05/25/21) You, little children, are my extended hands: pray, fast and offer sacrifices for peace – the treasure for which every heart yearns. (10/25/23) Dearest Mother, we long to serve you. You have been sent to us to lead us to your Son. You are with us, tirelessly encouraging us, teaching us, protecting us, and comforting us. Help us to learn how to be your extended hands to others who need you so much! We love you, dearest Mother Mary!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024  

Explain to us the parable…   March 5, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Here again is Our Lady’s Message of February 25, 2024: “Dear children! Pray and renew your heart so that the good which you have sown may bear the fruit of joy and oneness with God. Darnel has seized many hearts and they have become unfruitful; that is why, you little children, be light, love and my outstretched hands in this world which yearns for God Who is love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (February 25, 2024) Our shipmate, JoAnn, pointed out to me that the subject of the Darnel continues further on in Matthew 13. The Lord spent time with his disciples explaining the parable of the wheat and the darnel (weeds) later in the chapter. Here is what Jesus plainly taught the disciples about the darnel: Matthew 13:36-43 Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds [darnel] of the field.” He answered, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of man; the field is the world, and the good seed means the sons of the kingdom; the weeds [darnel]are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels. Just as the weeds [darnel] are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age. The Son of man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear. (Mt 13:36-43) Clearly this gospel reading is about the end of the world It is about judgement. God is the reaper, gathering in the good wheat and casting the darnel into the furnace of everlasting fire. And this is why Our Lady has come. She is with us to prepare us for the judgment of God. She is asking us to be light and love and outstretched hands in this world that yearns for God Who is Love!. We have a role to play in this last age. We need to rescue as many souls as possible from the poison of the darnel that has been sown throughout the world. Only love can save the souls who are in danger of becoming the darnel (the sons of the evil one) that will be lost. We can be that love if we respond to Our Lady’s call. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Wheat and Darnel   March 4, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! We received this message from Our Lady through Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti on February 25, 2024: “Dear children! Pray and renew your heart so that the good which you have sown may bear the fruit of joy and oneness with God. Darnel has seized many hearts and they have become unfruitful; that is why, you little children, be light, love and my outstretched hands in this world which yearns for God Who is love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (February 25, 2024) Many of you have written or called me asking what or who is Darnel? What is Our Lady telling us? Briefly, I want to explain it! Darnel is a plant! It is the plant that is referred to in the parable of the Weeds and the Wheat, (Mt 13:24-30). “Another parable he put before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. And the servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then has it weeds?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ But he said, ‘No; lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. Let both grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.’” (Matthew 13:24-30, RSV-CE) Darnel is a plant that looks very much like wheat when it first begins to grow. If the weed, Darnel, is scattered among the wheat plants, it is very hard to detect.  You can’t tell the difference at the beginning, and so it must be allowed to grow to maturity and then gathered and burned. If it is not separated at the harvest time, it will contaminate the wheat crop, because it’s seeds are poisonous. They cause hallucinations and many other mental illnesses. So you can see why Our Lady would warn us of Darnel in our hearts and in the hearts of all those around us. Darnel stands for the evil ideas, tendencies, habits, and desires that the enemy sows in hearts. When first planted in people’s hearts, these ideas may seem good or harmless at best. But they are not from God and lead to evil. Many lives will become fruitless if these evil weeds are left to grow. We need to keep our own hearts clean of Darnel, and to help others by our love and light, to reject the Darnel in their hearts as well. This is truly a warning against Modernism in all its forms, which has contaminated the whole world. But Our Lady is here to weed the garden! Thanks for your patience. I just wanted to make sure everyone understood this amazing message! There are many applications of this image of Wheat and Darnel! Take it to prayer!! God wants to give us His light!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024  

The February 25, 2024 Message!   February 25, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Here is the message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace, given through Marija Pavlovic Lunetti! Dear children! Pray and renew your heart so that the good which you have sown may bear the fruit of joy and oneness with God. Darnel has seized many hearts and they have become unfruitful; that is why, you little children, be light, love and my outstretched hands in this world which yearns for God Who is love. Thank you for having responded to my call. (February 25, 2024) In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024

Say ‘yes’ to God and he will give to you in abundance! February 23, 2024 St. Polycarp Dear Family of Mary! I want to share just one message today from Our Lady! It is from 2006. She longs for us to enter into Lent with a heart ready for God and His gifts. Here is the message: February 25, 2006  “Dear children! In this Lenten time of grace, I call you to open your hearts to the gifts that God desires to give you. Do not be closed, but with prayer and renunciation say ‘yes’ to God and He will give to you in abundance. As in springtime the earth opens to the seed and yields a hundredfold, so also your heavenly Father will give to you in abundance. I am with you and love you, little children, with a tender love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” All we need this Lent is to have an open heart towards God, and He will do the rest. May we approach the Lord with open hearts, with a willingness to hear God’s voice and to follow His lead. He will do the rest! Thank you, everyone, for receiving these little reflections! I am grateful for each one of you. But I need to ask a favor of you all! Next week (February 26 to March 1) Denis and I will be visiting our daughter and son-in-law, and their 4 children! In order to make the most of our time, I need to ask that you will allow me to take a break from these Reflections, and from the Moments with Mary. Denis and I will hopefully be able to keep up the Daily Rosary and Hour of Mercy, but I can’t do everything!! So here is the notice: February 26 through March 1, 2024 No Reflections and No Moments with Mary! We will resume the next week (March 4!!) Thank you for your patience! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024    

Meditate the mysteries of the Rosary   February 22, 2024 Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter the Apostle Dear Family of Mary! Today’s Gospel Reading: When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter said in reply, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus said to him in reply, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” (Mt 16:13-19) On this Feast Day of the Chair of Peter the Apostle, we ponder God’s choice of Peter as the the head of the Church. This was God the Father’s choice! He revealed it to Jesus through the answer Peter gave to His question, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered plainly, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And from then on Peter carried that very heavy burden, the call to carry the Keys of the Kingdom!! All of this was a mystery to Peter at the time! We can only imagine how baffled Peter was. What was Jesus talking about? But as Peter followed Jesus through the Passion, Death, Resurrection and the Ascension, the mystery began to make sense. Peter learned how to follow Jesus and listen to the Holy Spirit. His life became more and more an expression of the love for Jesus, and he was able to lead his brethren into a world desperate for that love. Our Lady wants us to follow Peter down that same path, by living the mysteries! But it is easier for us, because we have the mysteries in the Holy Rosary to guide us. Those mysteries speak to our own particular mysteries and help us to trust and follow the Holy Spirit just as Peter did. Listen to Our Lady’s explanation: September 25, 2019 “Dear children! Today I am calling you to pray for my intentions so that I may help you. Little children, pray the Rosary and meditate the mysteries of the Rosary because, in your life, you are also passing through joys and sorrows. In this way, you are transforming the mysteries into your life, because life is a mystery until you place it into God’s hands. In this way, you will have the experience of faith like Peter who met Jesus and the Holy Spirit filled his heart. Little children, you are also called to witness by living the love with which, day by day, God wraps you with my presence. Therefore, little children, be open and pray with the heart in faith. Thank you for having responded to my call.” We are called to witness like Peter. And we have Our Lady with us to help us, just as St. Peter had her with him throughout the public ministry of Jesus and in in the Upper Room as well! Our Lady can help us to understand our personal mysteries, through the prayer of the Rosary. She knows just what we are going through. May we ponder the mysteries of our own lives, in the light of the mysteries of the Rosary! Let us be open and pray with the heart in faith! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024

Also today I call you to pray for peace.   February 21, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! March 25, 2003  “Dear children! Also today I call you to pray for peace. Pray with the heart, little children, and do not lose hope because God loves His creatures. He desires to save you, one by one, through my coming here. I call you to the way of holiness. Pray, and in prayer you are open to God’s will; in this way, in everything you do, you realize God’s plan in you and through you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady calls us to pray for peace. She knows that it is only through God’s grace that we will be able to find and live out God’s plan for peace in the world. We very much want to help her in her peace plan for the world. And we know it is first of all a matter of intense prayer. Here is a prayer written by Pope Benedict XVI in which he asks Our Lady to guide us in the prayer for peace: May the Virgin Mary give us her Son, may she show us the Face of her Son, the Prince of Peace. May she help us to remain in the light of this face that shines upon us (cf. Nm 6:25), in order to rediscover all the tenderness of God the Father; may it be she who supports us in invoking the Holy Spirit so that he will renew the face of the earth and transform hearts, dissolving their hardness in the face of the disarming goodness of the Child who was born for us. May the Mother of God accompany us in this New Year; may she obtain for us and for the whole world the desired gift of peace. Amen. (Pope Benedict XVI – Feast of Mary the Mother of God, 2011) In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024
