December 27, 2021 Reflection – The Christmas Message to Jakov Colo

The Christmas Message to Jakov Colo December 27, 2021 St. John the Apostle, Evangelist Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady appeared to Jakov Colo again this Christmas! The Parish of Medjugorje shares: At the last daily apparition to Jakov Colo on September 12th, 1998, Our Lady told him that henceforth he would have one apparition a year, every December 25th, on Christmas Day. This is also how it was this year. The apparition began at 2:25 pm and lasted 9 minutes. Our Lady came with little Jesus in her arms. Through Jakov Our Lady gave the following message: Dear children, You are, and you are called, ‘children of God’. If only your hearts would feel that immeasurable love which God has for you, your hearts would adore and give thanks to Him at every instant of your life. Therefore, little children, today, on this day of grace, open your hearts and implore the Lord for the gift of faith; so that you could truly become worthy of the name ‘children of God’ who, with a pure heart, give thanks to and honor their Heavenly Father. I am beside you and am blessing you with my motherly blessing. (Christmas Message – 2021) In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021  

December 25, 2021 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

“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.” (December 25, 2021)

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.

December 24, 2021 Reflection – The Nativity of the Lord

  The Nativity of the Lord December 24, 2021 Christmas Eve Dear Family of Mary! Tonight, we will pray and await the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. This night is a most tender night. We gaze at the manger and the Newborn Jesus in it, with awe and amazement, but even more with a love that fills our being. We love Him. And we know that He loves us. Love is all in all on this night. Our Lady gave a very strong message on Christmas in 1987. May her words guide us in our prayer this night: December 25, 1987 “Dear children! Rejoice with me! My heart is rejoicing because of Jesus and today I want to give Him to you. Dear children, I want each one of you to open your heart to Jesus and I will give Him to you with love. Dear children, I want Him to change you, to teach you and to protect you. Today I am praying in a special way for each one of you and I am presenting you to God so He will manifest Himself in you. I am calling you to sincere prayer with the heart so that every prayer of yours may be an encounter with God. In your work and in your everyday life, put God in the first place. I call you today with great seriousness to obey me and to do as I am calling you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” We will obey you, dearest Mother. Your commands are sweet! Happy Birthday, dearest Jesus!!!! Let us sing!: O Little Town of Bethlehem O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by. Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together proclaim the holy Birth, And praises sing to God the King, and peace to men on earth! How silently, how silently, the wondrous Gift is given; So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven. No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him still, the dear Christ enters in. Where children pure and happy pray to the blessèd Child, Where misery cries out to thee, Son of the Mother mild; Where charity stands watching and faith holds wide the door, The dark night wakes, the glory breaks, and Christmas comes once more. O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel! Merry Christmas!! God’s Blessing to all of you!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

December 22, 2021 Reflection – O Come, Desire of Nations, bind…

  O Come, Desire of Nations, bind… December 22, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! Novena for Christmas, Day 8 O come, Desire of Nations, bind In one the hearts of all mankind; Bid thou our sad divisions cease, And be thyself our King of Peace. Rejoice, Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel! December 25, 2019 “Dear children! I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, for Him to bless you and reveal to you His love, which comes from Heaven. Your heart yearns for peace, of which there is less and less on earth. That is why people are far from God and souls are sick and heading towards spiritual death. I am with you, little children, to lead you on this way of salvation to which God calls you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady comes to us in Medjugorje because she cares about us. She desires the well being of each one of us in an intense way, a way that impels her to keep coming every day to Medjugorje. In this message Our Lady tells us that she brings her Son, Jesus, for Him to bless us and reveal His love for us. She longs for us to be blessed and healed by His Love. She goes on to compassionate with us because there is less and less peace on earth. She knows how this is affecting us. We are hurting. And many souls are sick and headed towards “spiritual death”. We all feel it. The powers of darkness are so strong in these days. So Our Lady comes to lead us back to God. She comes to mother us into Heaven. Our Lady demonstrates in a huge way the genius of woman which St. John Paul II described in his Apostolic Letter Mulieris Dignitatem (on the Dignity and Vocation of Women). Msgr. Robert Batule in the December 19, 2021 “Catholic Thing” tells us: “Midway through the document, the pontiff says that motherhood gives women a new attitude that profoundly marks their personalities. Here he is not just referring to the mother vis-a-vis the child she is carrying; the bond between the two of them is undeniable. The reference is also to how a mother relates to people more generally. There is an increased sensitivity, the pope posits, that a mother has toward those around her once she has conceived and is with child.. At the end of the letter, the pope calls this increased sensitivity ‘a manifstation of the genius which belongs to ‘women’.” (MD,30) You can read the article by Msgr. Batule at this link: https://www.thecatholicthing.org/2021/12/19/mary-motherhood-and-world-history/ This increased sensitivity to the welfare of others offers a huge grace to the family and the greater society. Becoming mothers makes women sources of love for countless others. And we can see that in Our Lady! She received such an increase of sensitivity after conceiving Jesus, that she could love even at the foot of the Cross. And she loves us now through that gift of her motherly love. So today let’s allow Our Lady to lead us on the way of salvation to which God calls us. This is why she is with us!! Let us pray:Novena Litany of the Infant Jesus Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, Christ, have mercy, Christ, have mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord, have mercy. Infant Jesus, hear us, Infant Jesus, graciously hear us. God the Father of Heaven, have mercy on us; God the Son, Redeemer of the world, have mercy on us;.

We ask this of Thee, who, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, lives and reigns God, forever and ever. Amen In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021  

December 21, 2021 Reflection – O Come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer…

  O Come, Thou Dayspring , come and cheer… December 21, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! Novena for Christmas, Day 7 O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer Our spirits by thine advent here; Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And death’s dark shadows put to flight. Rejoice, Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel! December 25, 2018 “Dear children! I am carrying to you my Son Jesus who is the King of Peace. He gives you peace and may it not be only for you but, little children, carry it to others in joy and humility. I am with you and am praying for you in this time of grace which God desires to give you. My presence is a sign of love here while I am with you to protect you and lead you towards eternity. Thank you for having responded to my call..” The Gospel reading for today is the first part of the Visitation, when Mary enters Elizabeth’s home Mary set out in those days and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said: “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.” (Luke 1: 40-45) Our Lady carried her Son Jesus to Elizabeth. And today she carries Him to us! Upon hearing Mary’s voice, John leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit! And today when we hear Our Lady’s words to us, we are also filled with the Holy Spirit! Elizabeth was amazed that Mary, the mother of Jesus, would come to her. We are amazed as well, that the Mother of our Lord would come to us in Medjugorje! And we, like Elizabeth, can say to Our Lady: “Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled!” Indeed she is most blessed, and we now are blessed through her! May we receive the Holy Spirit through the presence of Jesus and Mary in Medjugorje, and in each of our hearts as we respond to Our Lady’s call! Come, Holy Spirit, Come!! Let us pray: Novena Litany of the Infant Jesus Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, Christ, have mercy, Christ, have mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord, have mercy. Infant Jesus, hear us, Infant Jesus, graciously hear us. God the Father of Heaven, have mercy on us; God the Son, Redeemer of the world, have mercy on us;.

December 20, 2021 Reflection – O Come, Thou Key of David, come…

O Come, Thou Key of David, come… December 20, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! Novena for Christmas, Day 6 O come, thou Key of David, come, And open wide our heavenly home; Make safe the way that leads on high, And close the path to misery. Rejoice, Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel! December 25, 2017 “Dear children! Today I am bringing to you my Son Jesus for Him to give you His peace and blessing. I am calling all of you, little children, to live and witness the graces and the gifts which you have received. Do not be afraid. Pray for the Holy Spirit to give you the strength to be joyful witnesses and people of peace and hope. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady knows about the Holy Spirit. In the Gospel for today (Luke 1:26-38) we are told of the Annunciation of the Lord. The Angel Gabriel comes to Nazareth to “a virgin” and greets her with God’s invitation to become the Mother of His Son. And when she wonders how this could happen, the angel replies: “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!” Like Mary, God will never ask us to do something without supplying the gifts, the power and the way to do it. It just takes faith and openness to the Holy Spirit. We must ask the Holy Spirit to give us the strength!! All things are possible with God. Let us pray: Novena Litany of the Infant Jesus Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, Christ, have mercy, Christ, have mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord, have mercy. Infant Jesus, hear us, Infant Jesus, graciously hear us. God the Father of Heaven, have mercy on us; God the Son, Redeemer of the world, have mercy on us;.

And she includes this powerful good news: “Heaven is with you and is fighting for peace in your hearts, in the families and in the world; and you, little children, help with your prayers for it to be so!” This is our job on earth. To help in the Heavenly fight for our souls, for our peace, for the good of the world. Little Jesus, teach us how to help Heaven in the fight!

December 18, 2021 Reflection – O Come, O Come, great Lord of might…

  O Come, O Come, great Lord of Might… December 18, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! Novena for Christmas, Day 4 O come, O come, great Lord of might, Who to thy tribes on Sinai’s height In ancient times once gave the law In cloud and majesty and awe. Rejoice, Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel! December 25, 2015 “Dear children! Also today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you and from this embrace I am giving you His peace and a longing for Heaven. I am praying with you for peace and am calling you to be peace… I am blessing all of you with my motherly blessing of peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady repeated the word “peace” 5 times in this short message from 2015. Nothing was more pressing to her than peace. She said something amazing to us. She was carrying her Son Jesus to us. The King of the Universe was being carried by a woman, His Mother. He was docile and at home in her arms. She navigated the way from Heaven to Medjugorje, with little Jesus in her arms. This is something we cannot explain. But then she said that “from this embrace I am giving you His peace and a longing for Heaven.” The grace that was pouring out came from Jesus and Mary together, embracing one another as mother and son. Their relationship was part of that peace!! But the grace was given by Our Lady, she was in charge of this visit. She carried Jesus, and she imparted the grace! And what was the grace? That we would receive Jesus’ peace and a longing for Heaven. With that peace of Jesus and a heart that longs for Heaven, we would be prepared for the journey of life, able to find our way to God. This is the power of the Baby Jesus. And this is the power of His Mother!! This is the grace that Our Lady wants to give us still today. Her messages are for now as well! So today let’s pray this Litany of the Infant Jesus. I think it is anointed for this time we are living. Little Infant Jesus, please continue to give us your peace and a longing for Heaven! Novena Litany of the Infant Jesus Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, Christ, have mercy, Christ, have mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord, have mercy. Infant Jesus, hear us, Infant Jesus, graciously hear us. God the Father of Heaven, have mercy on us; God the Son, Redeemer of the world, have mercy on us;. God the Holy Ghost, have mercy on us; Holy Trinity, One God, have mercy on us;.
