Anniversary Novena with Marija, Day 2   June 18, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! On Day 2 of our Anniversary Novena with Marija, there were more people gathered on Apparition Hill than there were the day before. Marija said that Our Lady was happy about this!! The prayer of the Rosary was robust and heart-felt! I could feel the power of our united prayer together! Here is the direct link to the video of the Anniversary Novena with Mairja, Day 2: https://video.marytv.tv/watch/mmWVWwsgCy3?ctx=it33avdcsqd%2CiMSYvzasA6z Our Lady appeared to Marija at about 11:30 pm! Everyone was silent as Our Lady visited with Marija. And later when Marija shared with us about her encounter with Our Lady, she seemed to be very happy! Here is what Marija shared with us: June 17, 2024 Apparition of Our Lady to Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti Marija shared: “Tonight Gospa came – it looked like she was a little more joyful compared to last night. This means that we listened to her and came in a larger number, but that doesn’t mean that there is enough of us praying for peace. “Gospa prayed over us in which language? In her Aramaic motherly language. Gospa prayed for a long time over us.” It is clear that Our Lady needs our prayers for peace. She is intent on encouraging us to pray with her for peace. It seems almost urgent! But her joy was evident as well. Marija and all gathered around the statue were so happy and inspired by Our Lady’s words that they decided to remain on the hill and pray the Glorious Mysteries, in spite of the late hour! And the prayer was joyful and powerful!! It went on until 12:30 am!! Our Lady is building something powerful within us! This was only day 2, and already the fruit of her intercession and powerful guidance was beginning to show! Mother Mary is building a powerful movement of prayer! I encourage all who can, to join in the live prayer on Apparition Hill tomorrow evening!! Our Lady told us in 2009: April 25, 2009 “Dear children! Today I call you all to pray for peace and to witness it in your families so that peace may become the highest treasure on this peaceless earth. I am your Queen of Peace and your mother. I desire to lead you on the way of peace, which comes only from God. Therefore, pray, pray, pray. Thank you for having responded to my call.” This is Our Lady’s call, it has been so since 1981, and is even more so today! Let’s respond to her call!! Pray for Peace!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Our Lady calls for prayer on Apparition Hill!   June 17, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! On Saturday evening, June 15th, Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti received a request from Our Lady to gather as many people as she could to climb the Apparition Hill and pray with her at 10:00 pm. Our Lady asked that we pray for peace! In response, a very large number of people gathered on Apparition Hill last night, June 16th. They climbed the hill in darkness and gathered by the statue of Our Lady in order to respond to her invitation to join her there. And the response was amazing! The Hill was covered with people!! And the prayer of the Rosary rose up fervently! Together we prayed two sets of mysteries and many songs were sung. Then at 11:30 pm, Marija’s face lifted up and her eyes fixed on an invisible sight! Our Lady was with us! Silence ensued until Marija’s gaze fell, and we knew that Our Lady had left. But the love that she gave us in her coming, remained!! Marija then described her encounter with Our Lady through a translator: “During the moments of the Apparition, Marija recommended all of us, all of our intentions, whatever we hold in our hearts, all of our sacrifices and all of the prayers we have prayed for peace. Our Lady extended her hands above us, and she prayed over us in her own motherly language of Aramaic for a long time. Our Lady asked us to come tomorrow in an even greater number, because she needs our prayer. She blessed us all as she left for Heaven.” (June 17, 2024 apparition) Let’s spread the word about Our Lady’s request for more people to pray with her during this prayer time on Apparition Hill. Let all your friends and family know about it. Mary TV will be streaming it live each night! You can go to the Mary TV Channel on our home page to view the prayer event live.

Our Lady calls for a Novena of Prayer for Peace!   June 16, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! We have just received this message from Father Leon who is the Chaplain in Medjugorje for the English speaking people. He said: “Tonight, during Our Lady’s apparition to the visionary Marija, Our Lady invited us to pray the rosary from tomorrow at 10 pm on Apparition Hill at Our Lady’s statue, where there will also be an apparition every evening during the Novena to the Queen of Peace. Our Lady’s apparition will be at 11:30 p.m. Our Lady asked that in this Novena that we pray for peace in the world. “Come, let us respond to Our Lady’s call. “So, wherever we are in the world maybe we can unite in prayer and try to pray the rosary together for Peace as Our Lady is calling us. And wherever we are also we can pray during the apparition time and unite ourselves to the apparition. I know when we are in Medjugorje Our Lady says during the evening program when she is appearing on earth, that if we thank God for allowing her to be coming to this earth and we are really praying with the heart that we receive the same graces as if we were right there present at that apparition. “So, find out what 10:00 pm Medjugorje time is for you: 1:00 pm Pacific time, 2:00 pm Mountain time, 3:00 pm central time 4:00 pm Eastern time.” (Fr. Leon) Mary TV has been given permission by Marija to stream this time of prayer on Apparition Hill, including the apparition, LIVE each night starting today (Sunday, June 16, 2024). Fr. Leon’s time table is correct for the Western Hemisphere. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024  

“Thy Face, Lord, do I seek.”   June 14, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! The Psalm for todays Mass is very beautiful. It is the plea of a soul for God. Here is part of it: Psalm 27 Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me! Thou has said “Seek ye my face.” My heart says to thee, “Thy face, Lord, do I seek” (Ps 27: 7-8) In our deepest heart, we all long to see the face of the Lord. He made us for Himself! We are His! Our Lady gave us a beautiful message about this longing for the face of God, through Mirjana Soldo. November 2, 2019 “Dear children, my beloved Son always prayed and glorified the Heavenly Father. He always said everything to Him and trusted in His will. This is what you, my children, should also do, because the Heavenly Father always listens to His children. One heart in one heart – love, light and life. The Heavenly Father gave Himself through a human face, and this face is the face of my Son. You, apostles of my love, you should always carry the face of my Son| in your hearts and your thoughts. You should always think of His love and His sacrifice. You should pray to always feel His presence, because, apostles of my love, that is the way for you to help all those who do not know my Son, who have not come to know His love. My children, read the book of the Gospel. It is always something new, it is what binds you to my Son who was born to bring the words of life to all of my children and to sacrifice Himself for all. Apostles of my love, carried by the love for my Son, bring love and peace to all of your brothers. Judge no one. Love everyone according to the love for my Son. In this way, you will also be caring for your soul, and it [your soul] is that which is most precious, which truly belongs to you. Thank you.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024 PS!!! From Saturday, June 15, 2024 to Sunday, June 23, 2024, the Parish of St. James will climb Apparition Hill every day at 4:00 pm, praying a Novena in honor of the Apparitions of Our Lady in Medjugorje.

Reconcile with the Heavenly Father…   June 13, 2024 St. Anthony of Padua Dear Family of Mary! March 18, 2013 (to Mirjana) “Dear children! I call you to, with complete trust and joy, bless the name of the Lord and, day by day, to give Him thanks from the heart for His great love. My Son, through that love which He showed by the Cross, gave you the possibility to be forgiven for everything; so that you do not have to be ashamed or to hide, and out of fear not to open the door of your heart to my Son. To the contrary, my children, reconcile with the Heavenly Father so that you may be able to come to love yourselves as my Son loves you. When you come to love yourselves, you will also love others; in them you will see my Son and recognize the greatness of His love. Live in faith! Through me, my Son is preparing you for the works which He desires to do through you – works through which He desires to be glorified. Give Him thanks. Especially thank Him for the shepherds – for your intercessors in the reconciliation with the Heavenly Father. I am thanking you, my children. Thank you.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

To Thee, O Lord, I lift up my eyes…   June 11, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Today’s Psalm is a beautiful one. It is all about the complete trust that we should have in the Lord and His Mercy. Ps. 123: 1-2 “To thee, O Lord, I lift up my eyes. O Thou who art enthroned in the heavens! Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master. As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till He have mercy upon us….” (Ps 123: 1-2) This lovely Psalm portrays the wonder and grace of our personal prayer. The kind of prayer in which we gaze upon the Lord who is our only hope, and find great peace in that gazing. Our Lady describes this kind of prayer in the message below: July 25, 2001 “Dear children! In this time of grace, I call you to come even closer to God through your personal prayer. Make good use of the time of rest and give your soul and your eyes rest in God. Find peace in nature and you will discover God the Creator, Whom you will be able to give thanks to for all creatures; then you will find joy in your heart. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May we all take some time today and just gaze upon the Lord as the servant who gazes upon the hand of his Master, like the gaze of the maid whose eyes gaze upon the hand of her mistress. We are safe in the hands of our God… In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024  

Return to God and to His Commandments!   June 11, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! The Commandments of God were given to Moses on Mount Sinai. They were given as the Mercy of God, who wanted His people to live in the blessedness of His original intention. The Commandments were the roadmap to a good life, and finally a life with God in eternity. But mankind has not been able to live those Commandments consistently. It has been a constant cycle of drifting away from the Commandments, and then being called back by the Lord through His prophets. Finally the Father sent Jesus, His only Son, to become one of us and to show us the way back to the Father. Surely we would listen to God’s Son! In the Gospel reading for today, Mark relays a teaching moment in which Jesus again made it clear that the Commandments were to be lived. Here are His words: And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the first of all?” Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” And the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that he is one, and there is no other but he; and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And after that no one dared to ask him any question. (Mark 12:28-34, RSV-CE) The scribe’s answer was really a rejoicing on the scribe’s part! He was so excited to hear what Jesus said!! Would that we all rejoiced at Jesus’ words as He did. Our Lady encourages us to be like that scribe. January 25, 2016 “Dear children! Also today I am calling all of you to prayer. You cannot live without prayer, because prayer is a chain which brings you closer to God. Therefore, little children, in humility of heart return to God and to His commandments so that with all of your heart you are able to say: as it is in Heaven so may it be on earth. You, little children, are free to in freedom decide for God or against Him. See where Satan wants to pull you into sin and slavery. Therefore, little children, return to my heart so that I can lead you to my Son Jesus who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Thank you for having responded to my call.” To return to God is to return to the Commandments, because the Commandments were give us God’s mind. The framework which will help us to become holy like He is! They are the road to joy!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024  

Have courage and do not worry!   June 10, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Today’s Gospel simply conveys to us the essence of our life as disciples of Christ. Mother Mary certainly knows this way and calls us to it! The Holy Gospel according to Matthew: Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were before you. (Matthew 5:1-12, RSV-CE) Our Lady calls us to be taught by her Son in this message: October 2, 2018 “Dear children, I am calling you to be courageous and to not grow weary, because even the smallest good – the smallest sign of love – conquers evil which is all the more visible. My children, listen to me so that good may overcome, so that you may come to know the love of my Son. This is the greatest happiness – the hands of my Son that embrace, of Him who loves the soul, of Him who has given Himself for you and is always giving Himself anew in the Eucharist, of Him who has the words of eternal life. To come to know His love, to follow in His footsteps, means to have a wealth of spirituality. This is the wealth which gives good feelings and sees love and goodness everywhere. Apostles of my love, my children, be like the rays of the sun which with the warmth of my Son’s love warm everyone around them. My children, the world needs apostles of love; the world needs much prayer, but prayer spoken with the heart and the soul and not only pronounced with the lips. My children, long for holiness but in humility, in the humility which permits my Son to do that which He desires through you. My children, your prayers, your words, thoughts and actions – all of this either opens or closes the doors to the Kingdom of Heaven for you. My Son showed you the way and gave you hope, and I am consoling and encouraging you because, my children, I had come to know pain, but I had faith and hope. Now I have the reward of life in the Kingdom of my Son. Therefore, listen to me, have courage and do not grow weary. Thank you.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024  

The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus   June 7, 2024 The Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Dear Family of Mary! On this most powerful solemnity, I have found yet another powerful message from Our Lady. Her words speak for themselves! Take this message to prayer. It is life-changing!! September 2, 2019 “Dear children, pray! Pray the Rosary every day – that wreath of flowers which, as a mother, directly connects me with your pains, sufferings, desires, and hopes. Apostles of my love, I am with you through the grace and the love of my Son, and I am asking for prayers of you. The world is in such need of your prayers for souls to be converted. With complete trust, open your hearts to my Son, and in them He will inscribe the summary of His words – which is love. Live in an unbreakable connection with the Most Sacred Heart of my Son. My children, as a mother, I am telling you that it is high time for you to kneel before my Son to acknowledge Him as your God, the center of your life. Offer gifts to Him – that which He most loves – which is love towards neighbor, mercy, and pure hearts. Apostles of my love, many of my children still do not acknowledge my Son as their God; they have not yet come to know His love. But you, with your prayer pronounced from a pure and open heart, by the gifts which you offer to my Son, will make even the hardest hearts open. Apostles of my love, the strength of prayer pronounced from the heart – a powerful prayer full of love – changes the world. Therefore, my children: pray, pray, pray. I am with you. Thank you.” Thank you, dearest Mother. We will begin today to “Pray, Pray, Pray!” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024

The way that leads to the triumph of my heart.   June 6, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! I prayed to Our Lady to tell me what to write about for this reflection. And I heard the words “without limits.” So I did a search in the messages, and came up with only one message containing that phrase. It was June 2, 2019! So here is the message! I think it is meant for all of us for today. It is really a beautiful message, all about love! In fact about love without limits!!! June 2, 2019 “Dear children, only a pure and an open heart will make it such that you may truly come to know my Son and that all those who do not know His love may come to know it through you. Only love will make you comprehend that it is stronger than death because true love conquered death and made it so that death not exist. My children, forgiveness is the most exalted form of love. You, as apostles of my love, must pray that you be strong in spirit and that you could comprehend and forgive. You, apostles of my love, by understanding and forgiveness, are giving an example of love and mercy. To be able to comprehend and forgive is a gift for which it is necessary to pray, and to nurture it. By forgiveness you are showing that you know how to love. Just look, my children, how the Heavenly Father loves you with a great love, with understanding, forgiveness and justice – how He gives me, the Mother of your hearts, to you. And here I am among you to bless you with a motherly blessing, to call you to prayer, to fasting – to tell you to believe, to hope, to forgive, to pray for your shepherds, and above all to love without limits. My children, follow me. My way is the way of peace and love, the way of my Son. It is the way that leads to the triumph of my heart. Thank you.” I know it is long, but it is just full of love!! She is leading us to the triumph of her Heart!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024
