43rd Anniversary Novena , Day 8 June 23, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Today is Day 8 of the Anniversary Novena with Marija. Mary TV will again stream the entire evening of prayer, live, so that we can all join in the novena prayers. My team has told me that there are thousands of people connected to Apparition Hill each night through Mary TV! The stats are amazing!! I feel this is a sign to us all! There are many, many people from all over the world who are united in this prayer for peace which Our Lady leads. This is a powerful event! Marija greeted the crowd that covered Apparition Hill with these words: “Welcome everyone! Last night we forgot but tonight we will announce it. Let’s turn off cameras, phones and everything that takes photos. We don’t need any kind of publicity here, Our Lady is calling us to pray, to pray for peace. Please sit down, kneel down and pray! Don’t talk to each other but listen to Gospa in your heart and respond to her call. Because Gospa is calling us and we are responding, responding to her call, responding to pray for peace, responding because we will tell Gospa “yes I do want to pray for peace, for peace in the World as you dear Gospa requested.” Then the prayer began. It seemed to me that there were even more people last night than ever before! We prayed the Joyful and the Sorrowful Mysteries together, interspersed with messages from Our Lady and beautiful songs accompanied by Roland. It was heavenly! Then we began the Glorious Mysteries. After the second mystery, Marija knelt up and all went silent. Our Lady came, silently. Our only clue was Marija’s face! She looked up, way up above her, and her eyes hardly ever blinked. She spoke silently, nodding her head. Finally, Marija’s eyes followed Our Lady as she withdrew, going up and up until she was out of sight. We began to pray a bit more, and then Marija told us about her encounter with Our Lady. She said: “Tonight when Our Lady came she didn’t give a message but she did pray over us in her Aramaic language. I recommended all of us, all of our intentions and everything we have in our hearts. Gospa did say tomorrow come to the same place at the same time. She blessed us in the sign on the cross and went into heaven.” It was a bit hard to not have any special words from Our Lady last night. But I think she had been talking to each of us instead. I felt her very close. I want to share a prayer that I wrote down. I felt these words coming from my heart. They were heavenly words and I think Our Lady was giving them to me. It is only my personal meditation, but I suspect you all will understand it as well: “In the dark of Apparition Hill we sit together, praying the decades of joy, sorrow, and glory together for peace. We are together responding to your call, Mother. Nothing could be more simple, more peaceful, more human than these prayers in the dark with you. “It helps to be in the dark, sheltered from the eyes of others, in a warm cocoon of love with you, Mother. We sing, in the dark, of Heaven and the Good, with Faith as our surety. We are glad for each other’s company – though we do not know each other’s names. All we know is that you drew us together and so we are content. “Gather our poor prayers tonight into a bouquet of love for Jesus. We long to be with Him in Heaven – we long for all those who are not here to be one day with us in the love that binds us together in your heart! Oh Mother of Jesus, bring us to your son, a bouquet of love! Amen” Today, June 23, we will gather at the same time on Apparition Hill together, for the 8th Day of the 43rd Anniversary Novena! Tell you friends, spread the word!! We have these two days left! It is a blessing we need to share!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV          

Anniversary Novena with Marija, Day 7   June 22, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Today is Day 7 of our Novena on Apparition Hill! Join us, live, at a little before 10 PM Medjugorje time tonight, June 22, for the prayer gathering with Maria! Our Lady will be waiting for us!! Tell your friends. https://marytv.tv/ Last night, June 21, there were very many people on Apparition Hill, long in advance of the prayer of the Rosary for the Novena before the Anniversary. There was great joy and expectancy in the air!! This concerted effort to pray the Rosary with great faith and hope is paying off. Truly there is great joy! Marija began the prayer with these words: “Welcome here to the ‘Foothill of our dear Gospa’. Now we will start our 6th day of the Novena and pray for peace in the World as Gospa requested.” Maria then started praying the Rosary. We prayed two sets of mysteries, the Joyful and Sorrowful Mysteries. In between the decades were many songs!! Roland and Melinda led the singing, and it was wonderful! Finally, as 11:30 approached, the crowd became silent and Marija knelt in expectation, praying another decade of the rosary. Our Lady came, and all was silent. Marija had quite a lengthy conversation with her. All gathered on Apparition Hill had their own private conversations with Our Lady as well. It is a very intimate moment. You feel her in all her loveliness and goodness. It is healing just to be there. Finally, Marija’s eyes gazed up and up as Our Lady rose into the sky. It is so tender a moment, to see Marija, like a child, gazing after her Mother with such love and wonder. Then Marija shared the words Our Lady gave her for us: Tonight at the time of the apparition, I recommended to Gospa all of us, all of our intentions and everything that we have in our hearts. In a special way I prayed to Gospa to intercede in front of her Son Jesus for Peace in the World. Gospa prayed over us in her Aramaic language and blessed us all. And at the end, Gospa blessed us and went into heaven in the sign of the cross. I forgot one more thing, Gospa said tomorrow “same time same place!” We cannot fathom what Our Lady actually knows about the world, but we know that she does not come to us on a whim. The Father sends her to us to help us in our lives, as individuals and families, and also as nations. She is the Queen of Heaven and Earth. And she is on a mission to save her children. Let’s hold on to her presence with both hands and our whole heart. She will show us all the way to peace. This is her highest priority right now. Let us pray for peace with her. Remember that you can view the 43rd Anniversary Novena prayer, Day 7, (June 22, 2024) on Apparition Hill, live on our website, at 10:00 PM Medjugorje time tomorrow. https://marytv.tv/ Click on the arrow in the top window – MARYTV 24/7 Channel – and the live stream will open up for you! Let’s pray together again, this prayer to Our Lady: Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Given by Our Lady to Jelena Vasilj, 11/28/1983) O Immaculate Heart of Mary, overflowing with goodness, Show us your love for us. May the flame of your heart, Oh Mary, Descend upon all peoples. We love you immensely. Impress in our hearts a true love. May our hearts yearn for you. Oh Mary, sweet and humble of heart, Remember us when we sin.You know that all mankind are sinners. Through your most sacred and maternal heart, Cure us from every spiritual illness. Make us capable of looking at the beauty of your maternal heart, And that, thus, we may be converted to the flame of your heart. Amen In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV  

Anniversary Novena Day 6   June 21, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Today is Day 6 of our Novena on Apparition Hill! Join us, live, at 10 PM Medjugorje time tonight, June 21, for the prayer gathering with Maria! Our Lady will be waiting for us!! Tell your friends. https://marytv.tv/ We are all getting accustomed to the way Marija is leading us in prayer for this novena. She begins with a little encouragement and then we sing a song. Then we begin the prayer of the Rosary, Joyful and Sorrowful Mysteries. We pray in many languages and wait patiently for translations. Together we are a family gathered around our Mother! It is a taste of Heaven!! At 11:30 pm Marija began a decade of the Rosary. She prayed it slowly and deliberately. Her eyes were slightly raised in anticipation. We all wait for her face to light up with joy as Our Lady appears. It happened just that way last night! Our Lady stayed for quite a long time. Then she left, as we could see by Marija’s eyes, as they gazed higher and higher above her. After a moment of recollection and prayer, Marija shared with us her experience of Our Lady: Maria’s Apparition, June 20th, 2024: “Tonight, at the time of the apparition, when Gospa came she looked at us all. “I recommended to Gospa all of us, all of our intentions, everything we have in our hearts. In a special way all those who are sick in spirit and body. “I begged Gospa to intercede in front of her Son Jesus, for peace in the World. “Gospa extended her hands and prayed for a long time over us in her motherly language. She blessed us all and said “Same time, same place tomorrow…” and She went into heaven.” I feel that Our Lady is re-establishing her personal presence with us through these apparitions before the Anniversary. She wants us to realize how very personal her coming is, for each one of us! That is why she is appearing every evening, for the Novena, so that we will get used to her presence. She is our Mother and she wants us to feel her presence, know her presence, and take comfort in her presence! Let’s let her love us in this way! We need her so very much!! Remember that you can view the 43rd Anniversary Novena prayer, Day 6, (today) on Apparition Hill, live on our website, at 10:00 PM Medjugorje time. https://marytv.tv/ Click on the arrow in the top window – MARYTV 24/7 Channel – and the live stream will open up for you! Here is a lovely prayer given to Jelena that we will pray to prepare for tonight. Last night Marija prayed this prayer with all of us at the end of the novena prayers: Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Given by Our Lady to Jelena Vasilj, 11/28/1983) O Immaculate Heart of Mary, overflowing with goodness, Show us your love for us. May the flame of your heart, Oh Mary, Descend upon all peoples. We love you immensely. Impress in our hearts a true love. May our hearts yearn for you. Oh Mary, sweet and humble of heart, Remember us when we sin. You know that all mankind are sinners. Through your most sacred and maternal heart, Cure us from every spiritual illness.

Anniversary Novena with Marija   June 20, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Today is Day 5 of our Novena on Apparition Hill! Join us, live, at 10 PM tonight, June 20, for the prayer gathering with Maria! Our Lady will be waiting for us!! Tell your friends. Here is a lovely prayer given to Jelena that we could pray to prepare for tonight: Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Given by Our Lady to Jelena Vasilj, 11/28/1983) O Immaculate Heart of Mary, overflowing with goodness, Show us your love for us. May the flame of your heart, Oh Mary, Descend upon all peoples. We love you immensely. Impress in our hearts a true love. May our hearts yearn for you.

Make us capable of looking at the beauty of your maternal heart, And that, thus, we may be converted to the flame of your heart. Amen The Novena Prayer on Apparition Hill last night was wonderful! Many, many people climbed the hill to participate! After praying the joyful and sorrowful mysteries, with songs and special prayers, it was time for Our Lady’s Apparition. Our Lady came, and Marija’s gaze was fixed upon her for a long time. Once in a while, Marija would speak to Our Lady – though we could not hear her at all. But we all could feel Our Lady’s presence, in the peace that surrounded us. Here is Marija’s summary of their conversation: June 19, 2024 – Maria Now we will ask our priests to bless us and our father bishop in a special way to bless us with a special blessing. People that are suffering, that are in the war – we ask the Queen of Peace to give us peace. Not only in our hearts, and in our families, but also in the whole world. Because she asked for this novena for peace in the world. And tonight we are going to pray in a special way for Ukraine, for Israel, and all countries where war is present. After the blessing from the Bishop and the priests Marija shared this: Tonight when Our Lady came she prayed again in her motherly language Aramaic. I recommended to Gospa all of us, all our intentions, everything that we have in our hearts, all of those who were mentioned in our prayers. In a special way I asked Gospa to intercede in front of her son Jesus for peace. Gospa prayed over us and blessed us all with her motherly blessing and she thanked us for every sacrifice we offered for her intentions, for this novena. And she said “I’ll see you tomorrow at the same time and same place” and left into heaven. Though Our Lady does not say too much to us, it is clear that she is doing a great deal silently in our hearts. We are all getting very used to these gatherings with her. We truly need our Mother, and she is truly with us!

Anniversary Novena with Marija, Day 4   June 19, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Today, June 19, 2024, we will again stream, live, the 43rd Anniversary Novena Prayer on Apparition Hill with Marija Pavlovic Lunetti. This is Day 4 of the Novena. The power of our prayer is growing each day!! You don’t want to miss it! Join us live at https://marytv.tv/ ! Just click on the top window, the Channel! Here is a description of what happened last night, June 18: Apparition Hill was filled again last night for the 3rd day of the Novena Prayer for the 43rd Anniversary of Our Lady’s coming to Medjugorje! It was warm and dark, but the people found their way to the area around the Statue of Our Lady, and all were seated somehow on the rugged stones. There was an atmosphere of joy and expectation on the Hill! Notably, there was a bishop in our midst last night, a bishop from Ukraine. He prayed so intensely the entire time, and led a decade of the Rosary. It was a great honor to be in his presence. (You can see him in the picture above, next to Marija during the apparition.) When Marija joined the crowd, she greeted them this way: “Our third day of the 9 day novena,! Welcome to all, not only you (here) but all you who are concerned in prayer!” Marija seemed to recognize that there were many people who could not be physically present on Apparition Hill, but were definitely spiritually present through the live stream of this event on Mary TV, or who were praying during this time from afar. Marija and the translators then led us in the Joyful and Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary, along with many joyful songs of praise. The time flew by, and it was 11:30 pm and time for Our Lady’s visit. Our Lady appeared to Marija for a long while. Marija always looks to deeply touched by Our Lady’s presence. Finally, Our Lady departed. Then Marija described Our Lady’s visit to us: Tonight, at the time of apparition, Gospa thanked us and asked us to come in an even greater number. She prayed the whole time for peace in our hearts, in our families, and in the whole world. She blessed us all. She prayed in her motherly language. Today is the third day that Gospa prayed in the Aramaic language, that has never happened before. Gospa blessed us and went to heaven. Even though her message was serious, it seemed clear that Our Lady injected a deep joy into the hearts of us all. Her blessing is powerful! So powerful that everyone stayed for the Glorious Mysteries at the end of that long day! No one wanted to leave!! But finally, the night ended as the bishop’s blessed everyone and then people broke into extra prayers, and Marija said very joyfully, “We go down the mountain now singing and praying!” Truly, it was a night filled with grace. This Novena is very powerful! Join us today for Day 4 of the 43rd Anniversary Novena with Marija on Mary TV! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV    

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.

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!
