  June 25, 2023 Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje to Ivanka! June 26, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Here is the account published by the Parish of Medjugorje of Ivanka’s apparition and message from Our Lady given on June 25, 2023: The visionary Ivanka Ivankovic-Elez had her regular annual apparition on June 25th 2023.

June 25, 2023 Reflection – The 42nd Anniversary of Our Lady of Medjugorje!

The 42nd Anniversary of Our Lady of Medjugorje   June 25, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Today we celebrate 42 years of Our Lady’s presence with us in Medjugorje! It has been a very long and fruitful 42 years. She has stayed with us to protect us and bless us and teach us the ways of God for all these years. And we must acknowledge that for all of these years, the visionaries of Medjugorje have stayed faithful to her call, living her messages, and conveying them to us so faithfully the entire time! Denis and I are so blessed this year to be staying with Marija at her beautiful Magnificat Hotel. She is so loving, so kind and helpful to all the pilgrims. And she also remains completely available to Our Lady, who visits her every evening at 6:40 pm (summer schedule)! Imagine, for 42 years Marija has built her daily schedule around the visit of Our Lady! Every day!!! This is a heroic and amazing feat! But I am sure that Marija would say that it is completely possible because of the joy and love of greeting Our Lady every day!! But not only has Marija greeted Our Lady, she has also received the monthly message since 1987! Wow! What would we do without her service to us, relaying the messages just as Our Lady gives them. Let’s pray in thanksgiving this anniversary for the heroic and generous gift the visionaries of Medjugorje have given to us, of staying faithful to the presence of Mary, of having set aside their own agendas in order to receive the Mother of God every day for as long as She asked them to receive Her. They have been mediators of a great grace, an incredible gift to us all! Long ago Our Mother said to us: June 25, 1987 “Dear children! Today I thank you and I want to invite you all to God’s peace. I want each one of you to experience in your heart that peace which God gives. I want to bless you all today. I am blessing you with God’s blessing and I beseech you, dear children, to follow and to live my way. I love you, dear children, and so not even counting the number of times, I go on calling you and I thank you for all that you are doing for my intentions. I beg you, help me to present you to God and to save you. Thank you for having responded to my call! This is the basic call Our Lady has given us. May we continue to live this call every day, as we help her to present us to God and to save us!! Let’s pray the consecration prayers one more time: 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 Totus Tuus (Totally Yours) by Mother Immaculata Immaculate Conception, Mary my Mother, Live in me, Act in me, Speak in me and through me, Think your thoughts in my mind, Love through my heart, Give me your dispositions and feelings, Teach, lead me and guide me to Jesus, Correct, enlighten and expand my thoughts and behavior, Possess my soul, Take over my entire personality and life, replace it with Yourself, Incline me to constant adoration, Pray in me and through me, Let me live in you and keep me in this union always. I will send out the message as soon as possible!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023

June 23, 2023 Reflection – Anniversary Novena Day 9

You are important in my plan of salvation of mankind! Anniversary Novena, Day 9   June 23, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady said to us on June 25, 2022: June 25, 2022 “Dear children, I rejoice with you and thank you for every sacrifice and prayer, which you have offered for my intentions. Little children, do not forget that you are important in my plan of salvation of mankind. Return to God and prayer that the Holy Spirit may work in you and through you. Little children, I am with you also in these days when Satan is fighting for war and hatred. Division is strong and evil is at work in man as never before. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Each line of this message is so prophetic, we must listen to them one at a time: “Dear children, I rejoice with you and thank you for every sacrifice and prayer, which you have offered for my intentions.” We have responded to Our Lady!! This should give us great joy! Every prayer and sacrifice has a good effect on the world. Nothing is wasted in the plan of God. Our Lady’s intentions ensure that. She gathers up our prayers said in her name, and applies them to the most needed areas in the battle for the souls of the world. Wow! “Little children, do not forget that you are important in my plan of salvation of mankind.” Mother never tires of assuring us that each one of us is important. Each one of us has a place in God’s program. We are needed. We are valued. And we are a part of her team. Stand up straight and tall, brush yourself off, and stand tall! We are in Our Lady’s army! “Return to God and prayer that the Holy Spirit may work in you and through you.” Every day we must make the choice to fight for God and Our Lady, to fight for souls. Every day we must return to the essentials. Return to God! Choose Him as number 1! Pray to Him with great intensity and hope. And wait for the Holy Spirit to inspire you! You are important in God’s plan! “Little children, I am with you also in these days when Satan is fighting for war and hatred.” We are aware that Satan is fighting for war and hatred. We see that battle everywhere we turn. But we must not forget that Our Lady is with us. She is with each one of us! We are not alone or forgotten. The Champion General is with us! “Division is strong and evil is at work in man as never before.” Division has become to apparent in every social grouping, every government, every school, every business, every family is suffering from fragmentation and discord. Our Lady says it is at a level never seen before!! This is a confirmation for us. We are in a state of war. And so our commitment to Mother Mary must remain firm. She is leading us to a new time of peace, unity, love and holiness. This is our goal. She will not back down, and neither will we! “Thank you for having responded to my call.” Thank you for responding to Mother’s call!! Thank you to all of you!!! We await the celebration of the 42nd Anniversary of Our Lady’s coming to us in Medjugorje with great anticipation. Pray, pray, pray!! 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 Totus Tuus (Totally Yours) by Mother Immaculata Immaculate Conception, Mary my Mother, Live in me, Act in me, Speak in me and through me, Think your thoughts in my mind, Love through my heart, Give me your dispositions and feelings, Teach, lead me and guide me to Jesus, Correct, enlighten and expand my thoughts and behavior, Possess my soul, Take over my entire personality and life, replace it with Yourself, Incline me to constant adoration, Pray in me and through me Let me live in you and keep me in this union always.

June 22, 2023 Reflection – Anniversary Novena Day 8

Pray with me for peace and freedom… Anniversary Novena, Day 8   June 22, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady said to us on June 25, 2021: June 25, 2021 “Dear children! My heart is joyful because through these years I see your love and openness to my call. Today I am calling all of you: pray with me for peace and freedom, because Satan is strong and by his deception, wants to lead away all the more hearts from my motherly heart. That is why decide for God so that it may be good for you on the earth which God gave you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” June 25, 2021 was the 40th Anniversary of Our Lady’s presence with us in Medjugorje! It was a meaningful anniversary. Didn’t Moses spend 40 days on Mount Sinai, receiving the commandments and being instructed in God’s plan for the People of Israel? Didn’t these same people spend 40 years in the desert, following the Lord and learning His ways before they could enter the Promised Land? Didn’t Jesus fast and pray for 40 days and 40 nights in the desert before He began His public ministry? And didn’t the resurrected Jesus spend 40 days and nights instructing the Apostles before He ascended to the Father? The number 40 is very important in God’s plan. It seems that Our Lady was not disappointed in the 40 years she had spent with us in Medjugorje. She said, “Dear children! My heart is joyful because through these years I see your love and openness to my call.” She is happy with our response. But she goes on to encourage us to pray even more, because the spiritual battle we are in is increasing in intensity. She is remaining with us in this intense battle. We are blessed to be led by Our Lady, our Moses for these days. Let’s say yes to her over and over again! 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.

June 21, 2023 Reflection – Anniversary Novena Day 7

I am listening to your cries and prayers… Anniversary Novena, Day 7   June 21, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady said to us on June 25, 2020: June 25, 2020 “Dear children! I am listening to your cries and prayers, and am interceding for you before my Son Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Return, little children, to prayer and open your hearts in this time of grace and set out on the way of conversion. Your life is passing and, without God, does not have meaning. This is why I am with you to lead you towards holiness of life, so that each of you may discover the joy of living. I love you all, little children, and am blessing you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In this message, Our Lady assures us that she is listening to our cries and prayers. She wants us to know that we are not alone. She is very much aware of our needs and situations. But there is one thing she cannot do for us. She cannot open our hearts for us. She cannot make the decision to convert for us. God has given us intellects and wills, and we must choose to pray and convert, to open our hearts to God and receive His graces. Our job is to make the choice every day to return to prayer and choose conversion. Then God will do the rest!! We are the most blessed of children!! 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.

I am preparing you for the new times that you may be firm in faith and persevering in prayer, so that the Holy Spirit may work through you and renew the face of the earth.

Prayer is for her the basis for our entire life with God. We must pray. We must grow in prayer. We much persevere in prayer! And so she has built a powerful prayer program in Medjugorje, through which we become accustomed to prayer. Holy Mass, the Rosary, Adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, personal prayer, family prayer, and climbing the mountains in prayer. Prayer is like the air you breathe in Medjugorje! Our Lady said to us on June 25, 2017: “Dear children! Today, I desire to thank you for your perseverance and call you to open yourselves to profound prayer.

June 17, 2023 Update from Denis

Little Karsten clutches his rosary!!   June 17, 2023, The Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary   Dear MARY TV Shipmates, Cathy and I are overwhelmed by your enthusiastic response to the 800 Club! We are already approaching 60% of our goal! Keep spreading THE 800 CLUB appeal. It’s important to Our Lady! In two days Cathy and I leave for Medjugorje. We’re bringing all of you with us! Our Lady tells the world: “Satan is reigning and wants to destroy your lives… With the Rosary in your hand defeat him!” Etto Anellie sent us the following email: To: Denis Nolan Subject: Medjugorje Rosary Dear Denis and Cathy, It’s not every day that I go out of my way to send an email like this to anyone. However, I have had this inner feeling of needing to send this information to you. A few years ago, you had graciously offered the Marytv community a rosary from Medjugorje. I asked for one, and you sent me three. I gave one to my friend who had lost hers from Lourdes, another to my son-in-law, who suffers from depression, and the last one to my daughter, Isabella. This story is about the last Rosary. I live and work in Japan, so I travel every summer to go back home to see my daughter and her beautiful family. They live in a rural area in Missouri in a tiny house on their friend’s property where they enjoy a very simple life. My daughter and soon to be son-in-law, have two children under the age of two and another, on the way. In order to make ends meet, she will often babysit for her best friend, Janna, and her two year old son, Karsten. Janna and Karsten’s life has never been easy. She was involved in an abusive relationship where her boyfriend ended up committing suicide. Trying to get back to a normal life, Janna moved in with her older brother and his wife in a family home. Since they moved into the family home, her son, Karsten, had never been able to sleep at night. He often woke up screaming from nightmares at around 3 AM, and would never be able to go back to sleep. He often talked about how his dad (the one who had committed suicide) visited him along with the “monsters”. He told his mother that the monsters wanted to take him away from her. Janna thought it was her son’s imagination, so she would make up games with her son to “attack“ the monsters to put them away. Then one day, Janna asked her mother if anything strange had happened in their family home. She explained what had been happening to her two year old son. Janna’s mother explained that her brothers had the same experience in the same room when they were little. Each story was similar to what Karsten had been experiencing. My daughter, Isabella, did not know about the “monsters” visiting little Karsten until Janna told her about the story. When Isabella heard Janna’s frustrations, she was extremely worried for her friend and felt that this was a spiritual attack. Although her friend was not Catholic, my daughter decided to give her the rosary from Medjugorje. She told Janna to hang the rosary on the wall above the bed, where he sleeps or to have little Karsten hold the rosary in his hands and pray to God. Since little Karsten has had the rosary, the monsters have not come near him anymore. He told Bella that the monsters are gone. I just wanted to share this story with you, but also to tell you how influential our Blessed Mother is and how she wants to protect her children no matter where they are. I have enclosed a picture of Karsten in this email. Thank you for all the work that you do. With all my love and blessings to you and your family, Etto When something evil has happened in a room or house, evil spirits can enter and attack people who are living there. Regarding the days in which we live, Our Lady has said: “Evil is at work in man as never before!” (June 25, 2022). Little Karsten was being harassed by evil spirits in that room. But just the presence of Our Lady’s Rosary, with her blessing on it, was enough to expel those evil spirits. Exorcists say the presence of Mary causes demons to flee. Karsten’s rosary had been blessed by Our Lady! That blessing brought her presence in a powerful way. Little Karsten was protected from the evil. Your rosary can be blessed by Our Lady too. Marija confirmed to me that because many pilgrims can’t be present at the apparitions as in the past, Our Lady also goes to everyone praying with the parish in and around St. James Church at apparition time – she blesses them and also their religious items. And we know her blessing is going through the internet. The Gospa is using it to come to homes! Everyday Mary TV Live-streams the prayer in and around St. James Church in Medjugorje. During that prayer, you also can receive her blessing and your rosary will be blessed by her too! In response to my request for permission to share her email in this Update, Etto replied: “I spoke to my daughter, and she is so excited to hear that you’re sharing the story. Everybody needs to know this because the ‘monsters’ have gone away. Poor little Karsten was starting to wear down the rosary so much that they had to hang it on the wall.” God bless you! Denis PS from Cathy: Our Lady is with us very powerfully in Medjugorje. She is our mother. I often observe the way a little tiny baby will gaze into the eyes of its mother. That connection between Mother and child is essential for the well-being of the child. This eye contact gives the child a security that cannot be achieved in any other way. Our Lady is our spiritual mother, and we need to have eye contact with her as well. We need the security and love that only a mother can give. That is why Denis and I have a picture of Our Lady of Medjugorje present in every room of our home. Our Lady not only protects us with her presence, but she nourishes our hearts and souls with her gaze. We use the picture entitled “OUR LADY OF MEDJUGORJE” that is sold by Nelson Religious Arts Company at: www.nelsongifts.com 740-282-7101 (USA) Order them, frame them, have them blessed during apparition time on Mary TV, and then place them in each room. Our Lady wants to nurture us all!
