December 25, 2023 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace   December 25, 2023 Christmas Day! Dear Family of Mary! Here is the December 25, 2023 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace! “Dear children! I am carrying my Son Jesus to you to fill your hearts with peace, because He is peace. Little children, seek Jesus in the silence of your heart that He be born anew. The world needs Jesus, therefore seek Him through prayer, because He gives Himself daily to each of you.” (12/25/23) Today Our Lady came solemnly dressed with little Jesus in her arms. Jesus extended His hand in a sign of blessing as Our Lady prayed over us in Aramaic. In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023

My Soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord!   December 22, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Again today, I cannot refrain from sending you all the Gospel Reading for Mass! It is the Magnificat! And Our Lady expresses her Heart so beautifully in it. We want to take refuge in this most wonderful Heart of Mary: Gospel according to Luke 1:46-56 Mary said: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior, for he has looked upon his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, and has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children for ever.” Mary remained with Elizabeth about three months| and then returned to her home. The Gospel of the Lord. Our Lady’s Heart is indeed a place of safety for us. We need that place so badly in our time. She told us last June: June 25, 2023 “Dear children! The Most High permits me to be among you – to pray for you, to be a Mother to you and to be your refuge. Little children, I am calling you: return to God and to prayer and God will bless you abundantly. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Mother Mary has been sent by God to be our refuge! She prays for us and mothers us, and protects us! She is a refuge from all the trials and evils of our day. Flee to her and let her surround you with her protection. Thanks be to God! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023 P.S. Please go to our website and watch the Christmas greeting from Denis for all of you!

Pray for little Jesus to be born in your hearts December 21, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Here is another November 25th message, this time from 2020. Our Lady calls us to open our hearts in prayer, and live Advent through the Scriptures and the Sacraments, especially confession. If we do, we will experience little Jesus, born in our hearts. We have been given everything we need to be ready for the Birth of Jesus. November 25, 2020  “Dear children! This is a time of love, warmth, prayer and joy. Pray, little children, for little Jesus to be born in your hearts. Open your hearts to Jesus who gives Himself to each of you. God sent me to be joy and hope in this time, and I am saying to you: Without little Jesus you do not have the tenderness or the feeling of Heaven which is hidden in the Newborn. Therefore, little children, work on yourselves. By reading the Sacred Scripture you will discover Jesus’ birth and joy, as in the first days which Medjugorje gave to humanity. History will be truth which, also today, is being repeated in you and around you. Work on and build peace through the Sacrament of Confession. Reconcile with God, little children, and you will see miracles around you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Mother wants us to experience the wonders of the birth of Jesus, as if we could go back in time to that moment and place. She wants her little Jesus to be present to us in a profound way, so that we can truly experience Him as an infant, so tiny, so innocent, so dependent and so pure. We need to be filled with the wonders of His birth. It is not sentimentality. It is not the glitzy world of merchandise. It is the incredible power of holding a newborn, pulsing with life, defenseless and pure, a newborn who is God. We can’t understand it but we can experience it in prayer, in prayer with the heart. Let’s pray more than we have ever prayed at Christmas, and let Jesus give Himself to us in His Birth. In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023  

Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord December 20, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! I couldn’t resist sharing the Gospel for today! It is the Annunciation! Such a glorious moment! Actually a pivot upon which salvation turns. Our Lady’s yes changed all of history for every one of us! We can only recall it here with awe and tears of joy! Luke 1:26-38: In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.” But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his ­father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his Kingdom there will be no end.”  But Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?” And the angel said to her in reply, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.” Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her. The Gospel of the Lord. May we all echo Our Lady’s yes to God, “Be it done to me according to your word!” It is not too late! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023

Without God you do not have peace…   December 19, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Here is our message for today: November 25, 2019 “Dear children! May this time be a time of prayer for you. Without God you do not have peace. Therefore, little children, pray for peace in your hearts and families, so that Jesus can be born in you and give you His love and blessing. The world is at war because hearts are full of hatred and jealousy. In the eyes, little children, peacelessness is seen because you have not permitted Jesus to be born in your lives. Seek Him, pray, and He will give Himself to you in the Child who is joy and peace. I am with you and I pray for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023 PS. The parish continues to climb Apparition Hill for the Christmas Novena. They climb Apparition Hill every day until Saturday, December 23, praying the Rosary for peace. Mary TV will stream this climb each day, live, weather permitting. Join us on the Channel from 2:00 to 3:00 pm Medj Time!

A time of waiting and giving…   December 18, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Here is our message for today: November 25, 2018 “Dear children! This is a time of grace and prayer, a time of waiting and giving. God is giving Himself to you that we may love Him above everything. Therefore, little children, open your hearts and families, so that this waiting may become prayer and love and, especially, giving. I am with you, little children, and encourage you not to give up from what is good, because the fruits are seen and heard of afar. That is why the enemy is angry and uses everything to lead you away from prayer. Thank you for having responded to my call.” This time of waiting is a true gift for us! When we have to wait, it gives us time to really ponder the gift that is coming, and to prepare our hearts for it so that we will be able to truly comprehend it in all its outrageous glory! The Father sends us His Son, who has taken on our lowly humanity in order to really become our brother, our friend, our companion, our guide, and our Savior. Jesus is a man, just as we are! Man and God! Incredible!! It is beyond the wildest dream of any dreamer, that Jesus, who is God, would become one of us. But He is one of us! For all eternity! And so Our Lady tells us to love Him above everything, open our hearts to Him so that this time will become a time of prayer and love and giving. She also tells us not to give up doing the good, as it will bear great fruit if we do! May we spend this week before Christmas doing exactly as She says! We must not let anything stop us! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023 PS. The parish continues to climb Apparition Hill for the Christmas Novena. They climb Apparition Hill every day until Saturday, December 23, praying the Rosary for peace.

Peace is in danger…   December 15, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Here is our message for today: November 25, 2015 “Dear children! Today I am calling all of you: pray for my intentions. Peace is in danger, therefore, little children, pray and be carriers of peace and hope in this restless world where Satan is attacking and tempting in every way. Little children, be firm in prayer and courageous in faith. I am with you and intercede before my Son Jesus for all of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Mother, Mary, came to us that day in 2015 to warn us that peace was in danger. She wanted us to be ready to stand for peace in a time of turmoil. And so she gave us instructions on how to protect and strengthen peace in a world under attack: Pray! Be carriers of peace and hope! Pray for Our Lady’s intentions! Be firm in prayer! Be courageous in faith! Trust in Our Lady’s intercession before Jesus! Always respond to Our Lady’s call! It is the same today. Peace is in danger. We must listen to Our Lady and follow her. In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023 PS. Today the parish begins the Christmas Novena.  They will climb Apparition Hill for 9 days, praying the Rosary for peace. The Climb will take place from 2:oo pm to 3:00 pm every day from December 15 to 23!  Mary TV will stream this climb each day, live, weather permitting.  Join us on the Channel from 2:00 to 3:00 pm Medj Time!

Open the doors of your hearts…   December 13, 2023 St. Lucy Dear Family of Mary! November 25, 2013 “Dear children! Today I call all of you to prayer. Open the doors of your heart profoundly to prayer, little children, to prayer with the heart; and then the Most High will be able to act upon your freedom and conversion will begin. Your faith will become firm so that you will be able to say with all your heart: ‘My God, my all.’ You will comprehend, little children, that here on earth everything is passing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” We may not realize it, but Christmas is a time for a deep encounter with God. The Nativity of Jesus seems innocent enough. The simplicity of a newborn found in a stable with oxen and asses can make us feel all fuzzy and warm. But the truth that lies in that manger full of straw is that Our Savior became Man, and He came not to fit into humanity, but to lead all humanity back to our true home in heaven with the Trinity.| This was an invasion! And we don’t stand a chance!! Jesus will be all in all, and in turn will hand over all creation to the Father for that everlasting life that awaits us. Are we ready?? Read this message again. Our Lady is getting us ready! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023

Our Lady of Guadalupe   December 12, 2023 Our Lady of Guadalupe Dear Family of Mary! This day we honor Our Lady of Guadalupe, who appeared to St. Juan Diego in 1531 in Mexico. She worked an incredible miracle through Juan Diego, who was a simple peasant. She revealed herself to Bishop Juan de Zummaraga, on Juan Diego’s tilma, and the bishop was overcome with amazement and was converted to her presence immediately. Consequently, nine million Mexicans were converted and baptized. And the tilma is miraculously preserved to this day! Here are some of Our Lady’s words to Juan Diego. They are so motherly, just as her words are to us in our day in Medjugorje: “Know for certain, littlest of my sons, that I am the perfect and perpetual Virgin Mary, Mother of the True God through Whom everything lives, the Lord of all things near and far, the Master of heaven and earth. I wish and intensely desire that in this place my sanctuary be erected. Here I will demonstrate and exhibit and give all my love, my compassion, my help and my protection to the people. “I am your merciful Mother. The merciful Mother of all of you who live united in this land, and of all mankind, of all those who love me. Here I will hear their weeping, their sorrow, and will remedy, and alleviate all their multiple sufferings, necessities and misfortunes. “Listen, put it into your heart, my youngest and dearest son, that the thing that frightens you, the thing that afflicts you, is nothing: do not let it disturb you, 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 something more? Let nothing else worry you or disturb you…” Now listen to Our Lady’s words to the visionaries in 1984: “I hold all of you in my arms. You are mine. I need your prayers so that you may be mine. I desire to be all yours and for you to be all mine. I receive all your prayers. I receive them with joy.” (February 23, 1984) “Pray and fast! I desire to be with you always. I desire to stay in your hearts always and for you to stay in mine.” (February 24, 1984) “Know that I love all of you. Know that you are all mine. To no one do I desire to give more than to you. Come to me all of you. Stay with me. I want to be your Mother. Come, I desire all of you.” (February 25, 1984) “Pray and fast! Know that I love you. I hold all of you on my knees.” (February 26, 1984) “Do not be tired. I desire to be with you.” (February 27, 1984) Certainly we have the same Mother with us in these days, helping us to find our way to heaven, where we will be her children forever! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023
