  May 25, 2022 Message! May 25, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! Here is the May 25, 2022 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace of Medjugorje: “Dear children! I am looking at you and thanking God for each of you, because He permits me to still be with you, to encourage you to holiness. Little children, peace is disturbed and Satan wants peacelessness. That is why, may your prayer be even stronger so that every unclean spirit of division and war may be stilled. Be builders of peace and carriers of joy of the Risen One in you and around you, for the good to win in every man. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (May 25, 2022) In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV Let’s pray the Litany to the Holy Name of Mary!

  Thank you, Dearest Mother, for the Monthly Messages!. May 24, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! Tomorrow we look forward to receiving the Monthly Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje! These Monthly Messages have been a staple for us since 1987! How blessed we are to be cared for in such a consistent manner for all these years. Below is a list of the last five messages we have received on the 25th of each month. We might pray a Rosary, reading one message for each decade. That way we can remember Our Lady’s guiding words and prepare for the next message on Wednesday! Mother, we thank you for being with us in Medjugorje in such a beautiful way. Your presence and your words are have helped us to open up to Jesus’ love and the Father’s grace. We are grateful! You bring to us the Holy Spirit, your Spouse, who anoints us and heals us. Thank you so much, dearest Mother! A message for each decade!! December 25, 2021 “Dear children! Today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, for Him to give you His peace. Little children, without peace you do not have a future or blessing; therefore return to prayer, because the fruit of prayer is joy and faith, without which you cannot live. Today’s blessing which we give you, carry to your families and enrich all those whom you meet, that they may feel the grace which you are receiving. Thank you for having responded to my call.” January 25, 2022 “Dear children! Today I am calling you to return to personal prayer. Little children, do not forget that Satan is strong and that he wants to attract all the more souls to himself. That is why, you be vigilant in prayer and resolute in the good. I am with you and am blessing all of you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” February 25, 2022 “Dear children! I am with you and we pray together. Help me with prayer, little children, that Satan may not prevail. His power of death, hatred, and fear has visited the earth. Therefore, little children, return to God and to prayer, to fasting and to renunciation, for all those who are downtrodden, poor, and have no voice in this world without God. Little children, if you do not return to God and His Commandments, you do not have a future. That is why He sent me to you to guide you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” March 25, 2022 “Dear children! I am listening to your cry and prayers for peace. For years, Satan has been fighting for war. That is why God sent me among you to guide you on the way of holiness, because humanity is at a crossroad. I am calling you to return to God and to God’s Commandments that it may be good for you on earth, and that you may come out of this crisis into which you have entered because you are not listening to God who loves you and desires to save you and lead you to a new life. Thank you for having responded to my call.” April 25, 2022 “Dear children! I am looking at you and I see that you are lost. That is why I am calling all of you: return to God, return to prayer – and the Holy Spirit will fill you with His love which gives joy to the heart. Hope will grow in you, also for a better future, and you will become joyful witnesses of God’s mercy in you and around you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” We await your words to us with peace and joy! Thank you, Mother Mary! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid…     May 23, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! The Gospel for Holy Mass on Sunday, May 22, 2022 was from John 14:23-29. I want to quote one verse: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid…” (Jn 14:27) Jesus was very careful to explain to the Apostles that His peace is not the kind of peace that the world offers. They should not look for worldly peace. Only Jesus can give us peace. But don’t we still fall into the trap of looking for worldly answers to our anxieties? Hoping for peace from that source? Here is a beautiful, inspired, and absolutely true description of where to find true peace, written by Caryll Houselander many years ago. Everything Caryll said so many years ago applies to us today! Please read this short excerpt slowly and prayerfully. She is speaking to us right now. Our Mother is speaking to us through her. This is how we will bring in the Triumph! “Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid” Too many anxious Christians today think that their efforts to preach and teach and enter into outward activities can do more to save the world than the surrender of their souls to God, to become Christ-bearers. They believe that they can do more than our Lady did, and they have not time to stop to consider the absurdity of this. They fear that if the world goes on hurling itself into disaster, as it seems to be doing now, Christ’s kingdom may be defeated. This is not so; Christ has given his word that he will be with and in his little flock until the end of the world. However dark our days seem to be for Christianity, they are not so dark as the night following the crucifixion must have seemed to the apostles. For that night Christ had already prepared them. He told them to wait: to wait for the coming of the Holy Spirit. He told them that he was going away, that they would no longer see him and know the consolation of his presence with them, but that it was better for them that he should go, and that the condition for the coming of the Holy Spirit, through whom he would live on in them, was his going (Jn 16:7-8). Christ himself prepared for his Resurrection by resting in the tomb, just as he had prepared for his birth by resting in his Mother’s womb. He did not call the legions of angels he could have called to fight back the forces of evil that had crucified him; he simply lay in the tomb at rest and, at the appointed moment in time, rose from death to renew the life of the whole world. The apostles, like the modern apostles, were afraid, and with good cause…. They, with the Mother of Christ, alone stood for Christ’s kingdom, and the murderous hatred of Christ’s enemies pointed straight at them. But Christ told them simply to wait in the city until the Holy Spirit came to them; not to run away, not to make plans of their own, not to be troubled, with either their own recent failure and sin or concerning the danger that fenced them all around, but only to wait, with his Mother among them, for the coming of the Comforter who would make them strong, heal their wounds, wash the stains from their souls, and be their joy. Christ does not change, the preparation for the coming of the Spirit is the same today as two thousand years ago, whether it be for the rebirth of Christ in one soul that is in the hard winter, or for the return of Christ from the grave, whose blood is shed again by the martyrs. The preparation is the same: the still, quiet mind, acceptance, and remaining close to the Mother of God, resting in her rest while the life of the world grew within her towards the flowering of everlasting joy. Caryll Houselander († 1954) was a British artist, poet, and spiritual author. / From The Risen Christ. Sheed & Ward Publishers, 1958. Our job is to remain close to the Mother of God, resting in her rest while the life of the world grows within her – Jesus, Our Life! This is how we will be safe and save others! Our Lady only wants one thing, to be with us and help us to wait for her Son. She said, early on in the apparitions: Saturday, February 25, 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.” If we stay close to Mary, she will teach us to wait for her Son, to pray as she prays, and to believe as she believes. In this will be our hope and our victory. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV Let’s pray the Litany to the Holy Name of Mary!

Love one another! May 20, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! We have been pondering the Gospel Readings for the 5th week of Easter in a special way, allowing Jesus’ words to sink into our hearts, and then listening to Our Lady’s words which help us to respond to Jesus! It has been very good for me, and I hope for you!! Today Jesus teaches us His Commandment. It is so simple sounding, but actually it is so difficult to do. But we can’t let the difficulty stop us! We are called to love one another! And so when we fail, we must simply run to Jesus for forgiveness and the run to our brother or sister and ask for their forgiveness, and then start anew! Jesus has given us the way, through humility and contrition. Knowing this let us listen to Our Savior’s Commandment! John 15:12-17 Jesus said to his disciples: “This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father. It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. This I command you: love one another.” (John 15: 12-17) Jesus tells us that He has chosen us. And Our Lady has called us! We are so blessed to be chosen and called by Jesus and Mary! Our Lady teaches us about our calling: September 2, 2015 “Dear children, My dear apostles of love, my carriers of truth, again I am calling you and gathering you around me to help me, to help all of my children who thirst for love and truth – who thirst for my Son. I am a grace from the Heavenly Father, sent to help you to live the word of my Son. Love one another. I lived your earthly life. I know that it is not always easy, but if you will love each other, you will pray with the heart, you will reach spiritual heights and the way to heaven will be opened for you. I, your mother, am waiting for you there because I am there. Be faithful to my Son and teach others faithfulness. I am with you. I will help you. I will teach you faith that you may know how to transmit it to others in the right way. I will teach you truth that you may know how to discern. I will teach you love that you may come to know what real love is… My children, my Son will make it so as to speak through your words and your actions. Thank you.” Our Lady is with us, so we have only joy ahead…She will lead us on the way!! I am a grace from the Heavenly Father, sent to help you to live the word of my Son. Love one another. Yes Mother, we will follow you, and live the word of your Son, “Love one another!’ In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV Let’s pray the Litany to the Holy Name of Mary!

Remain in my love… May 19, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! Here is the Gospel for today: Jesus said to his disciples: As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in His Love. I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete.” (John 15: 9-11) This message from Our Lady seems to have been given to us just to explain this Gospel passage! Our Lady knows love!!! November 2, 2015 “Dear children, anew I desire to speak to you about love. I have gathered you around me in the name of my Son according to His will. I desire that your faith be firm, flowing forth from love. Because, those of my children who understand the love of my Son|and follow it, live in love and hope. They have come to know the love of God Therefore, my children, pray, pray so as to be able to love all the more and to do works of love. Because, faith alone without love and works of love is not what I am asking of you: my children, this is an illusion of faith. It is a boasting of self. My Son seeks faith and works, love and goodness. I am praying, and I am also asking you to pray, and to live love; because I desire that my Son, when He looks at the hearts of all of my children, can see love and goodness in them and not hatred and indifference. My children, apostles of my love, do not lose hope, do not lose strength. You can do this. I am encouraging and blessing you. Because all that is of this world, which many of my children, unfortunately, put in the first place, will disappear; and only love and works of love will remain and open the door of the Kingdom of Heaven. I will wait for you at this door. At this door, I desire to welcome and embrace all of my children. Thank you!” Wow!!! “As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV Let’s pray the Litany to the Holy Name of Mary!

  Remain in me, as I remain in you… May 17, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! Jesus told us to remain in Him. As a branch remains on a vine, we must remain connected to Jesus. It is necessary that we have a vital and life giving relationship with Jesus. In these days after the Resurrection and before the Ascension, Jesus is teaching us how to live in Him, to stay with Him, to love Him, to know Him, to be one with Him. Here is the Gospel for today: Jesus said to his disciples: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you. Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me.I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.” (John 15:1-8) Our Lady teaches us how to remain in Jesus in this message: “Dear children! Today, little children, I invite you, through prayer, to be with Jesus, so that through a personal experience of prayer you may be able to discover the beauty of God’s creatures. You cannot speak or witness about prayer, if you do not pray. That is why, little children, in the silence of the heart, remain with Jesus, so that He may change and transform you with His love. This, little children, is a time of grace for you. Make good use of it for your personal conversion, because when you have God, you have everything. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (July 25, 1998) Thank you, dearest Mother, for teaching us to remain in Jesus!! Help us to grow in our attachment to the vine of life. Prune us so that we will grow well. Attach us to Jesus, through your Motherly teaching and guidance, so that we will not be thrown on the fire and burned. Help us to have silent hearts that have room only for Jesus. Teach us to pray, dearest Mother. Amen In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV Let’s pray the Litany to the Holy Name of Mary!

Every grace comes through prayer… May 17, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! Prayer is the first stone in Our Lady’s program for us. And I would say it is the last stone as well. She cannot imagine our lives without prayer. It is impossible to live without prayer. She told us: “Dear children, you must understand that one has to pray. Prayer is no joke; prayer is a conversation with God. In every prayer you must listen to the voice of God. Without prayer one cannot live. Prayer is life.” (09/11/1984 – Jelena) Again she said: “My children, pray! I say again, pray, because prayer is indispensable to life.”(01/01/1984) Prayer is indispensable to life! Our Lady knows what prayer actually is. She lived by prayer every moment on earth. And now she is with us in our daily lives trying to guide us into that same living prayer! She told us: “Dear children! Today I invite you to respond to my call to prayer. I desire, dear children, that during this time you find a corner for personal prayer. I desire to lead you towards prayer with the heart. Only in this way will you comprehend that your life is empty without prayer. You will discover the meaning of your life when you discover God in prayer. That is why, little children, open the door of your heart and you will comprehend that prayer is joy without which you cannot live. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (July 25, 1997) Our Lady tells us that our lives are empty without prayer. I am sure we all know it! But still it is easy to let prayer slip. Denis discovered something that St. Faustina wrote about prayer that has really impressed us both. Here is what she wrote about prayer: “A soul arms itself by prayer for all sorts of combat. In whatever state the soul may be, it ought to pray. A soul which is pure and beautiful must pray, or else it will lose its beauty; a soul which is striving after this purity must pray, or else it will never attain it; a soul which is newly converted must pray, or else it will fall again; a sinful soul, plunged in sins, must pray so that it might rise again. There is no soul which is not bound to pray, for every single grace comes to the soul through prayer.” (Diary entry 146) Truly there is not one moment of our lives that does not require prayer. Not one situation, not one state of soul, not one joy or sorrow that does not need prayer. Only prayer can see us through to Heaven. As St. Faustina wrote: “Every single grace comes to the soul through prayer!” Thank you, Dearest Mother, for teaching us to pray!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV Let’s pray the Litany to the Holy Name of Mary!  

  I am close to you… May 16, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! Like a good mother, Our Lady longs to be close to us! She also longs for us to be close to her! She comes every day to Medjugorje in order to be close to us. She travels possibly billions of miles one way! Why? Because she loves us so much! She longs to be close to us! It is true that we travel a considerable distance to be close to her as well. Pilgrimage is a big deal! But we long to be close to her! So we travel by bus, car, plane and train to arrive in our beloved Medjugorje where we can be with Our Lady in a special way! We want to be close to her!! Our Lady has spoken about the closeness she desires with us. Here is one message: July 25, 1994 “Dear children! Today I invite you to decide to give time patiently for prayer. Little children, you cannot say you are mine and that you have experienced conversion through my messages if you are not ready to give time to God every day. I am close to you and I bless you all. Little children, do not forget that if you do not pray you are not close to me, nor are you close to the Holy Spirit who leads you along the path to holiness. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our closeness to Our Lady depends not on physical proximity, but upon prayer! This is the way we travel to Our Mother! This is the way we enter her presence and converse with her. Prayer is also how we draw close to the Holy Spirit, and to Jesus, and the Father! They all want to be close to each one of us. What a beautiful gift this is!!! We can draw close to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit through prayer. And we also can run into Our Mother’s arms, through prayer. Amazing!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV Let’s pray the Litany to the Holy Name of Mary!  

Pope John Paul ll with the statue of Our Lady given to him by Bishop Hnilica upon his release from the hospital after the assassination attempt.   May 13, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! I am re-sending an article that Denis wrote last year for the anniversary of the Apparitions at Fatima. The facts he presents are not to be forgotten. We are part of an historical move of God through which He wants to save the world. God bless you all! Cathy (May 14, 2021) Dear Family of Mary TV, Apostles of Our Lady of Medjugorje, “The Catholic Thing” carried an article yesterday titled “Signs and Wonders”. Noting that May 13, 2021, the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, was the 40th anniversary of the assassination attempt on the life of St. John Paul ll, Stephen White posed the question to readers: “What signs of God’s action in our own day have we missed because we are too skeptical, too cynical, too eager to seem sophisticated?”After the assassination attempt “as he was being rushed to the hospital, John Paul ll said, more and more feebly as the moments passed, only Our Lady’s name, Mary, and none of the things the newspapers attributed to him,” (Andre Frossard, “Portrait of John Paul ll”, p.55). The following month Our Lady started appearing in Medjugorje. Perceiving the hand of providence – the assassination attempt happening on anniversary of the day, at the very hour, of Our Lady’s first apparition in Fatima – the Holy Father asked Bishop Paolo Hnilica to bring to him, while he was convalescing in Gemelli Hospital, all the materials he could gather on Fatima. As a result, Pope St. John Paul ll asked bishops throughout the world to join him in his March 25, 1984, Act of Consecration to Our Lady that he did in response to her request at Fatima. In a book of her writings published after her death Sr. Lucia confirmed that Our Lady had accepted it in response to her Fatima request. Sisters of her convent in Portugal reiterated this again recently.  Sr. Lucia of Fatima also confirmed this to me in a February 12, 1992 letter sent by Fr. John D. Marchi, “Yes, the Consecration of the world is well established”. Traveling to Moscow and secretly slipping into the Kremlin, Bishop Paolo Hnilica consecrated Russia while saying Mass behind an issue of the communist newspaper “Pravda”. Returning to Rome the following day he arrived in St. Peter’s Square just as the Pope was beginning to recite the words of consecration. (Bishops could do the consecration on March 24, as Bishop Hnilica did, or on March 25th.) The Holy Father was overjoyed hearing Bishop Hnilica’s account of his trip. They spent four hours together later that day in the Pope’s private apartment. Taking from his shelf Fr. Rene Laurentin’s first book on Medjugorje (that he had written with Fr. Ljudevit Rupcic), “Is the Virgin Mary Appearing in Medjugorje?” the Pope read to him several sections out loud, asking, “Didn’t you stop in Medjugorje on your way back to Rome?”  In response to the bishop’s reply, “No, your Holiness, it has been forbidden.” With a wave of his hand Pope John Paul ll said, “Pay no attention! Go to Medjugorje! Medjugorje is the continuation and fulfillment of Fatima!” Our Lady confirmed the Holy Father’s words in her August 25, 1991 message. She invited her children to nine days of prayer and sacrifice: “so that, with your help, everything that I desire to realize through the secrets I began in Fatima, may be fulfilled. I call you, dear children, to now grasp the importance of my coming and the seriousness of the situation. I want to save all souls and present them to God. Therefore, let us pray that everything I have begun be fully realized. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Four days later, on August 29th, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR suspended the activities of the Communist Party throughout the country. But the devil wasn’t backing down. The following month Our Lady warned in her September 25, 1991 message: “Dear children! Today in a special way I invite you all to prayer and renunciation. For now as never before Satan wants to show the world his shameful face by which he wants to seduce as many people as possible onto the way of death and sin. Therefore, dear children, help my Immaculate Heart to triumph in the sinful world. I beseech all of you to offer prayers and sacrifices for my intentions so I can present them to God for what is most necessary. Forget your desires, dear children, and pray for what God desires, and not for what you desire. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Pope John Paul ll did not miss the signs of God’s action in his own day. On February 24, 1990 he said, “Medjugorje is the spiritual center of the world!” (“Why He Is A Saint, the Life and Faith of Pope John Paul ll and the Case for Canonization”, p. 168, by Msgr. Slawomir Oder, Postulator for his Cause of Sainthood). In the chapter he includes on the Pope and Medjugorje Msgr Oder quotes from eight letters the Holy Father had written in regard to Medjugorje. For example, on December 8, 1992, in his own hand: “I think Sophia for everything concerning Medjugorje. I, too, go there every day as a pilgrim in my prayers. I unite in my prayers with all those a who pray there or receive a call for prayer from there. Today we have understood this call better. I rejoice that our time is not lacking people of prayer and apostles.” And it wasn’t just St. John Paul ll. An August 6, 2019 Catholic News Service headline gave the Church’s verdict: “Vatican confirms Medjugorje approval by joining youth festival” In response to the Holy Father’s appeal earlier this month for prayer to bring an end to the pandemic, thirty representative Shrines scattered throughout the world have been chosen to lead the Marian prayer each during one day of the month of May. Vatican News reports that “the Shrine of Our Lady Queen of Peace at Medjugorje in Bosnia” has been chosen to lead the Rosary tomorrow, May 15, 2021. With the 40th anniversary of Our Lady’s daily apparitions in Medjugorje now upon us, maybe the author of that article in “The Catholic Thing” should pose this question as it relates to Medjugorje: What signs of God’s action in my own day have I missed because I am too skeptical, too cynical, too eager to seem sophisticated?  Mainstream traditional Catholic outlets should do the same.
