March 3, 2022 Reflection – Choose life!

Choose life! March 3, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! Every day of our lives we must make the choice for or against God. We cannot grow slack in making that choice at every moment of every day. Why? Because Satan spends every moment of every day seeking a way to lead us away from God. He never sleeps. His only desire is to drag each one of us off into hell for eternity. We live in a war zone. That is why God spoke these words to His people as He led them into the promised land. He knew that the battle for their souls was far from over. He instructed them to “Choose life” constantly, by embracing His commandments. His commandments opened the path to life. They led to a life of truth and goodness. Listen to the words of the Lord through Moses: Deuteronomy  30:15-20 Moses said to the people: “Today I have set before you life and prosperity, death and doom. If you obey the commandments of the Lord, your God, which I enjoin on you today, loving him, and walking in his ways, and keeping his commandments, statutes and decrees, you will live and grow numerous, and the Lord, your God, will bless you in the land you are entering to occupy. If, however, you turn away your hearts and will not listen, but are led astray and adore and serve other gods, I tell you now that you will certainly perish; you will not have a long life on the land that you are crossing the Jordan to enter and occupy. I call heaven and earth today to witness against you: I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live, by loving the Lord, your God, heeding his voice, and ­holding fast to him. For that will mean life for you, a long life for you to live on the land that the Lord swore he would give to your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” We have our own Moses in these days. Our Lady is with us to continue to lead us to life, to show us how to choose life. She also warns us of the battle we are in on a daily basis. Like Moses, she warns us of the dangers we face, while guiding us into life: March 25, 1996 “Dear children! I invite you to decide again to love God above all else. In this time when due to the spirit of consumerism one forgets what it means to love and to cherish true values, I invite you again, little children, to put God in the first place in your life. Do not let satan attract you through material things but, little children, decide for God who is freedom and love. Choose life and not death of the soul, little children, and in this time when you meditate upon the suffering and death of Jesus I invite you to decide for life which blossomed through the Resurrection, and that your life may be renewed today through conversion that shall lead you to eternal life. Thank you for having responded to my call…” Choose life and not death of the soul!!! This is our daily, often minute by minute, battle. But if we win our battles, we will pave the way for many others to follow. Our families, our neighbors, our parishes, our fellow workers…Our choices make a huge difference to all those around us. And in this day, with war beginning to erupt, it is ever so much more important that we all choose life! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2022

March 2, 2022 Reflection – Ash Wednesday

Ukrainian and Russian pilgrims pray for peace in Medjugorje March 2, 2022 Ash Wednesday Dear Family of Mary! Today we begin our Lenten journey. It is a blessed time of prayer, aided by fasting and renunciation, in which we draw closer and closer to Jesus. Our lives are renewed and gain a heavenly focus during these days of prayer, fasting and renunciation. Also, we have been asked by the Holy Father to pray and fast in a special way today. He wrote: “My heart aches greatly at the worsening situation in eastern Ukraine…I would like to appeal to everyone, believers and non-believers alike. Jesus taught us that the diabolical senselessness of violence is answered with God’s weapons, with prayer and fasting. I invite everyone to make the 2nd of March, Ash Wednesday, a Day of Fasting for Peace. I encourage believers in a special way to dedicate themselves intensely to prayer and fasting on that day. May the Queen of Peace preserve the world from the madness of war.” (Pope Francis, February 23, 2022) And Our Lady, the Queen of Peace calls to us: 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.” May peace be given to the whole world! Pray, pray, pray!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2022 PS. There has been a message that is circulating through social media and through email all around in which it states that Ivan (the visionary) received a message from Our Lady about the spreading of the war around the world. It is not from Ivan. Please do not spread it. Thank you!

March 1, 2022 Reflection – “He sent me to you to guide you…”

The prayer for peace between Russia and Ukraine on February 26, 2022 on Podbrdo. He sent me to you to guide you… March 1, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! 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.” Tomorrow begins the Season of Lent. We are called by the Church to spend the next 6 1/2 weeks in prayer, fasting and renunciation. This holy time is dedicated to repentance and penance, so that we can make way for the Lord in our lives. We need to weed out all that has crept in over the past year, all that would distract us from our path towards Heaven. But this Lent has a more troubling aspect. As Our Lady said, “Help me with prayer, little children, that Satan may not prevail. His power of death, hatred, and fear has visited the earth.” The war initiated by Russia against Ukraine has begun. War is evil. Evil has broken out in earnest. And so we need to also see the fasting and renunciation that we will do this Lent as our way to fight the evil that has broken out in our world. Our prayers must be the weapons of choice against the true enemy, Satan. We are not just doing a little house cleaning this Lent, we are in war. By God’s grace, we have Our Lady to guide us in this battle. She is with us to help us return to God and live His Commandments, to pray and fast for peace, and to love all mankind with the love of Jesus. She is our Champion General. May we be guided by her through these decisive and pivotal days of Lent. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2022

February 28, 2022 Reflection – Wars can be stopped!

Wars can be stopped! February 28, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! As we pray for peace for Ukraine, here are five messages in which Our Lady encouraged us to pray for peace, and to believe that wars can be stopped. Let our Rosaries be filled with hope and faith in God, the True God of Peace!!! January 25, 2001 “Dear children! Today I call you to renew prayer and fasting with even greater enthusiasm until prayer becomes a joy for you. Little children, the one who prays is not afraid of the future and the one who fasts is not afraid of evil. Once again, I repeat to you: only through prayer and fasting also wars can be stopped – wars of your unbelief and fear for the future. I am with you and am teaching you little children: your peace and hope are in God. That is why draw closer to God and put Him in the first place in your life. Thank you for having responded to my call.” February 25, 2003 “Dear children! Also today I call you to pray and fast for peace. As I have already said and now repeat to you, little children, only with prayer and fasting can wars also be stopped. Peace is a precious gift from God. Seek, pray and you will receive it. Speak about peace and carry peace in your hearts. Nurture it like a flower which is in need of water, tenderness and light. Be those who carry peace to others. I am with you and intercede for all of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” February 25, 2021 “Dear children! God has permitted me to be with you also today, to call you to prayer and fasting. Live this time of grace and be witnesses of hope, because I repeat to you, little children, that with prayer and fasting also wars can be suppressed. Little children, believe and live this time of grace in faith and with faith; and my Immaculate Heart does not leave any of you in peacelessness if you have recourse to me. I intercede for you before the Most High and I pray for peace in your hearts and for hope for the future. Thank you for having responded to my call.” September 25, 2001 “Dear children! Also today I call you to prayer, especially today when satan wants war and hatred. I call you anew, little children: pray and fast that God may give you peace. Witness peace to every heart and be carriers of peace in this world without peace. I am with you and intercede before God for each of you. And you do not be afraid because the one who prays is not afraid of evil and has no hatred in the heart… Thank you for having responded to my call.” January 25, 2015 “Dear children! Also today I call you: live your vocation in prayer. Now, as never before, Satan wants to suffocate man and his soul by his contagious wind of hatred and unrest. In many hearts there is no joy because there is no God or prayer. Hatred and war are growing from day to day. I am calling you, little children, begin anew, with enthusiasm, the walk of holiness and love; since I have come among you because of this. Together let us be love and forgiveness for all those who know and want to love only with a human love and not with that immeasurable love of God to which God calls you. Little children, may hope in a better tomorrow always be in your heart. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2022

February 25, 2022 – Marija speaks about Our Lady’s Message

Again this month, Marija Pavlovic Lunetti and Fr. Livio had a conversation about the February 25, 2022 message! Marija calls Fr. Livio soon after the message is released, and they have a conversation about it on Radio Maria. Our shipmate, Marina, soon after, transcribes the radio conversation and translates it into English for us. Here is the English transcript of the conversation between Marija and Fr. Livio, which took place on Friday, February 25, 2022: Conversation between Fr. Livio and Marija Pavlovic Lunetti – February 25, 2022 Father Livio:  Dear friends, we now have live Marjia from Medjugorje who is about to give us the February 25, 2022, message from the Queen of Peace. Hi Marija! Marjia: Hello Father Livio! A greeting to all the listeners of Radio Maria. Today, like every 25th of the month, Our Lady gave us the following message: Marjia: reads the message in Italian and Croatian as usual. “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.” F.L. This is one of the most serious messages that Our Lady has ever given us Marjia. M. Yes, it is a serious message but also a message where Our Lady involves us and says “let us pray together” to say that she is with us and wants to help us, guide us! We hope that her presence during these forty years is a sign of peace and of her triumph as “Queen of Peace” because Satan unfortunately “has visited the earth with his hatred and power of death” as Our Lady says. In these days we are praying for many people who have recommended themselves especially from Ukraine who have come for Christmas. I remember one day a bishop arrived and during the apparition asked me to recommend Ukraine. Our Lady had prayed over him, heart to heart, in Aramaic which I do not understand and when this happens it means that it must be a secret. We are approaching Lent, which is the time of renunciation, fasting and renewal for all of us. We have had the experience of the war in the Balkans and Our Lady told us then that “with prayer and fasting even wars can be removed”. We must increase our prayers for all of those who are under the power of the devil who is so strong right now. This also happens in our families where there is no peace, there is no serenity. Our hearts can be easily lured by the devil who wants to use us. But we must not allow it. Our Lady has always invited us to pray for those who do not believe and since we are one body only with God, if even one part of the body suffers, the whole body suffers. So, let us pray for our Ukrainian and Russian brothers, same people, and same faith. We all have one God, and we are waging war against each other. This is the greatest tragedy that gives me enormous sadness. We pray that hatred does not prevail. F.L. Listen Marjia in recent years I too have seen, especially at Christmas in Medjugorje, the faith of this people who climbed Krizevac even in winter with bare feet and I believe that Our Lady cannot but help a people with such great faith, serenity, and courage. M. Father Livio, I had a strong experience with this people that I will remember as long as I live. A group of Orthodox and Catholics (from Ukraine) came to pray for Christian unity in a bus. Halfway here, the bus caught fire and, despite the explosion of the means of transport, everyone survived. Despite having lost all their luggage, they wanted to continue the pilgrimage. They waited for the new bus and when it arrived after five days, we welcomed them with clothing and garments given by my Italian friends which they gladly gave up. A lady told me how her rubber shoes had melted during the fire and now she arrived in Medjugorje barefoot. She had therefore worn that pair of leather shoes (given to her in Medjugorje) for the first time in her life! I, who see so much poverty in this people, also notice their great spiritual wealth and their spirit of sacrifice, and I am ashamed. I hope, as you say, Father Livio, that the Lord will listen to their prayers, restoring peace to their people as soon as possible. F. L. This message has new passages that I find for the first time! For example, Our Lady says that: “Help me with prayer, little children, that Satan may not prevail. His power of death, hatred, and fear has visited the earth.”  It is practically the first time She has used the expression that “Satan…. has visited the earth”. What is the meaning of this strong expression? Does she mean that Satan has been unchained and, as She said in the message of March 25, 2020, it seems that Satan reigns? M. Yes, this is precisely what Our Lady said: “pray together with me…help me with prayer” because unity is strength and, in this moment, we must be united with God and Our Lady and ask for this grace so that the power of Satan, of hate, death, and fear will not prevail. Today we see how more and more people are turning away from God and his commandments. Jesus taught us to love our neighbors and our enemies; for this we must pray not only for those who suffer the war but also for those who attack. War is not a good thing and causes a lot of damage, I believe in my heart that few are those who want it. F.L. Listen Marija, however, it is also the first time that Our Lady says: “for all those who are downtrodden, poor, and have no voice in this world without God.” She therefore also is looking at this world without God where there is a multitude of people who are, as Pope Francis says, “discarded, marginalized, trampled” and we do not see it at times, we do not have the gaze to see all this. M. But now we cannot help but see “people trampled” and “poor who have no voice” not only in Ukraine. I remember when the war broke out, few people fled away because they preferred to die in their homes rather than abandon them and unfortunately when the bombings arrived, they were no exception even if there were also women and children. F.L. Listen, Marjia, I wanted to ask you for a long time… Our Lady has often used the expression that we “are living in a world without God” but what does it mean? Is it the international leaders and those who are important who are without God or has the world really become atheistic? M. I believe it is a matter of “power” because many want to put themselves in God’s place, and they are convinced that they really are. Instead, life is beautiful, and it is a gift, and we must take advantage of this time to do good. I have had many testimonies of people who, as they get older, have begun to pray and think about their “call,” many others have come close to God during their illnesses, while those who are healthy often think they are eternal. The problem is that we should imitate more the saints like for example that saint whose name I don’t remember, who put his coffin under his bed, and his brothers we told to keep on knocking continuously on his door saying, “Remember brother that death is near.” F.L. Speak freely Marjia; I wanted to ask you a question. It is something that struck me personally and gave a great joy to many people and that is that day of prayer and fasting that the Pope announced for March 2, the beginning of Lent, and then the invocation he made to the “Queen of Peace” to preserve us from the insanity of war. I believe that Our Lady was very pleased to hear the Holy Father saying so at the General Audience. M. Yes, we need peace and thanks be to God the Holy Father also turned to the “Queen of Peace” and we too must ask not once but a thousand times for Her intercession as we are moving towards the time of Lent, of renunciation of fasting and grace. Our Lady asked our prayer group to intensify the beginning of Lent with something special and I remember that we used the prayers of Saint Brigida, the Way of the Cross, the Holy Rosaries and the daily Holy Mass which then became a complete part of our life. F.L. So we must make a journey of conversion, renouncing sin and prepare for Easter with confession and above all prayers and fasting and “return to the fervor of the early days” as Our Lady has said on other occasions. M. Exactly, exactly and if we dedicate time to God, we realize that He is not a distant God, an unknown God. It is He who gives Himself to us and we feel this because He comes among us, walks with us, and gets closer and closer by means of prayer. This is an opportunity to return to God and His commandments as Our Lady says and we must respect the order of Creation instead of waging war that does not bring joy to the heart at all. F.L. There is also the warning Marjia that Our Lady now repeats almost in every message, and we see that we have not yet understood it, and that is: “if we do not return to God and his Commandments, we have no future”. What does this mean. M. Our Lady reminds us that She is with us to guide us, thanks to God who grants Her to us, and at the same time She reminds us that “without God we have no future, no eternal life” and unfortunately many people who carry hatred in their hearts do not have future, while those who pray and are peacemakers are supported by Her. So let us thank the Good Lord from the bottom of our hearts for having given Her to us as a guide in these difficult times. F.L. And then as you once said, Our Lady is the Woman from the future. M. Exactly. Our Lady is not only our Mother, our guide, our inspirer, as I say so many times. But She is the Mother who cries for each of us, encourages us, guides us, and urges us to achieve our goals. F.L. Listen Marjia, today’s message makes us think. How was Our Lady today while giving the message? M. Our Lady was serious, and I too was a little sad to see Her so serious. I began to think in a negative way but then hope and joy prevailed in my heart because I said: “Our Lady is with us and does not abandon us, She won’t do it, She is guiding us.” F.L. But the closure is also beautiful, we take it for granted, but Our Lady says it as if it were the first time and that is: “Thank you for having responded to my call”. This is also a great encouragement. M. Yes, it is a great joy, an encouragement and at the same time an invitation because as Our Lady said that She needs us. We are honored to be able to say, “we are your children”. We are sinners as that song says, but we are your children! And at this moment I also want to invite not only myself but all of us to embrace the message of Our Lady, to kneel down and pray in a concrete way so that the Lord hears our prayers for peace not only in Ukraine where none of us could have imagined that it would burst, but in all parts of the world where there is war. F.L. I tell you the truth, two things in this message struck me, and that is, in a few words: Our Lady tells us to be with Her because first she says: “I am with you.” That is how we are together. Then She says “let us pray together” that is, we must pray together. Then She says, “help me with prayer,” and we must help Her! She involves us together with Her and does not leave us alone and invites us to work with Her. The opening is beautiful! M. Yes, yes and this is not only beautiful but as we often say it is helping us, it is guiding us, and this is the grace we have received from the Good Lord. F.L. Well Marjia thank you very much, I see that you too have suffered a little for this message but in the end, we say: “Our Lady is with us”. Satan is there, but there is Our Lady. Satan is a lying force; Mary has an unending Love, and this must give us confidence. M. Yes, we are aware that evil exists, but it will not prevail, because we are instruments of peace with prayer, with our actions, and with our life. F.L. Thanks Marjia you have given a beautiful testimony and a strong participation. Of course, seeing Our Lady worried, we too worried a little, and you too, but in the end, peace prevails in our heart. M. Yes, we are worried because as I said when a part of the body suffers, the whole body suffers, so also to our brothers who are suffering at this moment we want to tell them that we are with them, and we pray for them. P. L. Thanks Marjia now we conclude with the beautiful prayer. And they pray together the Magnificat prayer as always. Thank you, Marina for your beautiful translation!!! May we take seriously the call to prayer and fasting that Our Lady has given us!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2022

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.

February 24, 2022 Reflection – “Be vigilant in prayer…”

  Be vigilant in prayer! February 24, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! Tomorrow we look forward to another message from Our Lady! It is time to take another look at her message from January 25, with gratitude: 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.” Certainly we all need to continue to make a commitment to personal prayer. Every day we must spend time with Jesus, our dear Lord!! He waits for us. He wants to hear from us, and to speak to us. It is His desire that we pray, because He wants to be with us! As we enter into Lent next week, we can continue to return to personal prayer and to be vigilant in prayer, every day! If we do, our Lent will be very fruitful! Thank you, dearest Mother, for giving us messages. Your messages help us to pray, because you give us graces for prayer in your messages as well! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2022

February 23, 2022 Reflection – “I pray for peace in your hearts…”

I pray for peace in your hearts… February 23, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! As we approach the 25th of the month, and a new message from Our Lady, I thought we could review and pray over again the message from February 25, 2021! It can be fruitful to review her words from a year ago, and reflect on whether we have lived them! February 25, 2021 “Dear children! God has permitted me to be with you also today, to call you to prayer and fasting. Live this time of grace and be witnesses of hope, because I repeat to you, little children, that with prayer and fasting also wars can be suppressed. Little children, believe and live this time of grace in faith and with faith; and my Immaculate Heart does not leave any of you in peacelessness if you have recourse to me. I intercede for you before the Most High and I pray for peace in your hearts and for hope for the future. Thank you for having responded to my call.” I have to say that Our Lady’s last words in this message give me renewed hope even today. Her Immaculate Heart does not leave any of us in peacelessness! She intercedes for us before the Most High! She prays for peace in our hearts! And she prays that we have hope for the future!!!!! Her prayers do not fail. We are blessed!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2022

February 22, 2022 Reflection – “Only the Glory of God remains!”

Only the Glory of God remains! February 22, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! September 2, 2011 “Dear children; With all my heart and soul full of faith and love in the Heavenly Father, I gave my Son to you and am giving Him to you anew. My Son has brought you, the people of the entire world, to know the only true God and His love. He has led you on the way of truth and made you brothers and sisters. Therefore, my children, do not wander, do not close your heart before that truth, hope and love. Everything around you is passing and everything is falling apart, only the glory of God remains. Therefore, renounce everything that distances you from the Lord. Adore Him alone, because He is the only true God. I am with you and I will remain with you. I am especially praying for the shepherds that they may be worthy representatives of my Son and may lead you with love on the way of truth. Thank you.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
