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!

I call you to persevere in prayer so that, with you, I can realize my plans. Anniversary Novena, Day 3   June 17, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady has a plan. She has not come to Medjugorje randomly and without reason! The Father in Heaven has sent her for a reason. It can only be a plan that involves the salvation of as many people as possible!! But it is a plan that necessitates the cooperation of her children. We have been called to help her. And though we don’t see the entire plan, we do know that our holiness is needed, and our complete cooperation with her through the messages. One day at a time, we will help her to win this battle for souls. Our Lady said to us on June 25, 2016: “Dear children! Give thanks to God with me for the gift of my being with you. Pray, little children, and live God’s commandments that it may be good for you on earth. Today, on this day of grace, I desire to give you my motherly blessing of peace and of my love. I intercede for you with my Son and call you to persevere in prayer so that, with you, I can realize my plans. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Dearest Mother, we believe that you are interceding for us, and that you need us to do our part for your plans.

I will offer one or two messages each day, and two prayers. May we draw close to Our Lady during this time. Her presence is our hope and joy in these days!

Your heart and soul thirst for peace and love, for God and His joy. Therefore, little children, pray, pray, pray and in prayer you will discover the wisdom of living. I bless you all and intercede for each of you before my Son Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Dearest Mother, we do believe that God is sending you to save us from Satan, who wants to deceive all the more souls and lead them away from your motherly heart. We want to help you in every way we can. May we pray with you for Peace and Freedom and live a total consecration to you, dearest Mother!

June 14, 2023 Reflection – A Novena before the 42nd Anniversary

Tomorrow we begin a Novena for the 42nd Anniversary June 14, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady suggests that we pray novenas! She longs for us to be intentional about our prayer, approaching God with sincere hearts, asking for graces and blessings. Here is one message in which she suggested that we pray novenas: July 25, 2005 “Dear children! Also today, I call you to fill your day with short and ardent prayers. When you pray, your heart is open and God loves you with a special love and gives you special graces. Therefore, make good use of this time of grace and devote it to God more than ever up to now. Do novenas of fasting and renunciation so that satan be far from you and grace be around you. I am near you and intercede before God for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” It seems that novenas can help us to prepare for more graces. Through fasting, renunciation, and prayer we can create a zone of peace and purity in our lives. Through these practices of penance and prayer, we can prepare for the graces God wants to pour out upon us. On June 25, 2023 we will celebrate 42 years of Our Lady’s presence in Medjugorje in this special way, through her apparitions. The parish has organized a novena of prayer and penance before the Anniversary. Starting on June 15, the priests will lead the parish in a climb up Apparition Hill. During the climb, the Rosary will be prayed. This Novena will be a good way to prepare for the graces of the 42nd Anniversary! Mary TV will stream the daily climb up Apparition Hill, live, weather permitting. But our schedule will have to be changed to accommodate it. Here is the Schedule for the live shows on Mary TV during the Novena before the Anniversary: June 15 to June 23: 3:00 pm – Daily Rosary live with Denis and Cathy (which includes Divine Mercy) 4:00 pm – Novena Climb with the Parish 5:00 pm – prerecorded shows 6:00 pm – Parish Evening Rosary 7:00 pm – International Mass 8:00 pm – Adoration, or the Rosary, or Veneration of the Holy Cross, depending on the day. Join us for this wonderful time of prayer! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2023    

June 13, 2023 Reflection – St. Anthony of Padua

St. Anthony of Padua Seek the intercession of all the saints!   June 13, 2023 Feast of St. Anthony of Padua Dear Family of Mary! Today is the feast day of St. Anthony of Padua. He is a marvelous saint, and is very well loved by the people of Bosnia Hercegovina. On this day people walk many miles to go to the Shrine of St. Anthony at Humac, Lubuski and attend Mass, Confession, and pray to St. Anthony! It is a very deep tradition for the people. We need the saints. And the saints want to help us! They are our brothers and sisters in eternity. And they love us! Truly they do!! Our Lady has asked us to call on the saints, to ask for their intercession and their help. In these days, we really need them. Here are several messages in which she explains why we need them! October 25, 2010 “Dear children! May this time be a time of prayer for you. My call, little children, desires to be for you a call to decide to follow the way of conversion; therefore, pray and seek the intercession of all the saints. May they be for you an example, an incentive and a joy towards eternal life. Thank you for having responded to my call.” October 25, 2014 “Dear children! Pray in this time of grace and seek the intercession of all the saints who are already in the light. From day to day may they be an example and encouragement to you on the way of your conversion. Little children, be aware that your life is short and passing. Therefore, yearn for eternity and keep preparing your hearts in prayer. I am with you and intercede before my Son for each of you, especially for those who have consecrated themselves to me and to my Son. Thank you for having responded to my call.” October 25, 2020 “Dear children, At this time, I am calling you to return to God and to prayer. Invoke the help of all the saints, for them to be an example and a help to you. Satan is strong and is fighting to draw all the more hearts to himself. He wants war and hatred. That is why I am with you for this long, to lead you to the way of salvation, to Him who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Little children, return to the love for God and He will be your strength and refuge. Thank you for having responded to my call.” September 25, 2021 “Dear children! Pray, witness and rejoice with me because the Most High continues to send me to lead you on the way of holiness. Be aware, little children, that life is short and eternity is waiting for you to give glory to God with your being, with all the saints. Little children, do not worry about earthly things, but long for Heaven. Heaven will be your goal and joy will begin to reign in your heart. I am with you and bless all of you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Let’s pray to St. Anthony today!! Believe in his help, and tell him everything. Heaven is near us with all the help we need in our day! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2023

June 12, 2023 Reflection – “Blessed are they who believe without having seen.”

“Blessed are they who believe without having seen.”   June 12, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! I want to share the conversation that Our Lady had with the visionaries on the 5th day of her apparitions, June 28, 1981. The simple interchanges between the children and Our Lady are very interesting. Mother spoke to them simply and with no extra words at all! She wanted them to remember what she said, and fix it firmly in their memory, so that her words would guide them. Here is what was said: Sunday, June 28, 1981 The visionaries: What do you wish? “That people believe and persevere in the faith.” Vicka: What do you expect from the priests? “That they remain strong in the faith and that they help you.” Why don’t you appear to everyone in church? “Blessed are they who believe without having seen.” Will you come back? “Yes, to the same place.” Do you prefer prayer or singing? “Both, praying and singing.” Vicka: What do you wish from the crowd which has gathered here? The visionaries said this question received no response except for a glance filled with love, and Our Lady’s smile. Then Our Lady disappeared. The visionaries prayed so that she might return because she had not said: Goodbye, my angels. During their song, You Are All Beautiful, she reappears. Vicka: Dear Gospa, what do you expect of this people? She repeated the question three times and finally was given this answer: “That those who do not see believe as those who see.” Vicka: Will you leave us a sign so that people believe that we are not liars or comedians? No other response, only a smile. “Go in the peace of God“, She said, as she disappeared. (03/28/81) What really struck me was the answer Our Lady gave when asked why the people do not see her as the visionaries do: “Blessed are they who believe without having seen.” Doesn’t her answer sound like it came directly from the Beatitudes in Matthew’s Gospel? So simple and short, and enigmatic! In the Beatitudes, Jesus wanted us to realize that getting what we want on earth is not always the best thing for us! In fact it is our response of faith that makes every situation in our life good for us! It is our faith in God’s love, even when we are deprived that will bless us! The Gospel for today, Matthew 5: 1-12) Matthew 5:1-12) When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He began to teach them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”(Matthew 5: 1-12) Thank you, dearest Mother, for teaching us even as Jesus taught the disciples. We are so blessed indeed! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2023  

June 9, 2023 Reflection – Life is short and eternity is waiting!

Life is short and eternity is waiting…   June 9, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! September 25, 2021 “Dear children! Pray, witness and rejoice with me because the Most High continues to send me to lead you on the way of holiness. Be aware, little children, that life is short and eternity is waiting for you to give glory to God with your being, with all the saints. Little children, do not worry about earthly things, but long for Heaven. Heaven will be your goal and joy will begin to reign in your heart. I am with you and bless all of you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call. I couldn’t resist sharing this message again with you all. Our Lady is such a good Mother. She is teaching us how to think properly, how to desire rightly, how to aim at what is most important! And I feel that this is what St. Paul was teaching in this chapter of Colossians. Let’s prayerfully read these words of very good advice, and try to incorporate them in our lives! The New Life in Christ If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming.* In these you once walked, when you lived in them. But now put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and foul talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old nature with its practices and have put on the new nature, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Here there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free man, but Christ is all, and in all. Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience, forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as you teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, and as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3: 1-17) We have our homework for the weekend!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2023  

June 8, 2023 Reflection – Love God above all else…

Love God above all else…   June 8, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! In the Gospel for today Jesus summarizes His message perfectly: Mark 12:28-34: One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?” Jesus replied, “The first is this: Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.” The scribe said to him, “Well said, teacher. You are right in saying, He is One and there is no other than he. And to love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” And when Jesus saw that he answered with understanding, he said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” And no one dared to ask him any more questions. Jesus’ words are so strong and simple. He teaches with power! “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.” This is the number one priority for all of us, all people! To love our God with all our might, constantly! And Our Lady has told us the same thing in Medjugorje. Her words are so strong, so sure. They can help us to learn to love God above all else. Here are some examples, some messages that we can pray with today in response to this Gospel: May 25, 1999 “Dear children! Also today I call you to convert and to more firmly believe in God. Children, you seek peace and pray in different ways, but you have not yet given your hearts to God for Him to fill them with His love. So, I am with you to teach you and to bring you closer to the love of God. If you love God above all else, it will be easy for you to pray and to open your hearts to Him. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May 25, 2010 “Dear children! God gave you the grace to live and to defend all the good that is in you and around you, and to inspire others to be better and holier; but satan, too, does not sleep and through modernism diverts you and leads you to his way. Therefore, little children, in the love for my Immaculate Heart, love God above everything and live His commandments. In this way, your life will have meaning and peace will rule on earth. Thank you for having responded to my call.” August 25, 2015 “Dear children! Also today I am calling you to be prayer. May prayer be for you the wings for an encounter with God. The world is in a moment of trial, because it forgot and abandoned God. Therefore you, little children, be those who seek and love God above all. I am with you and I am leading you to my Son, but you must say your ‘yes’ in the freedom of children of God. I intercede for you and I love you, little children, with an endless love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” February 25, 2018 “Dear children! In this time of grace I am calling all of you to open yourselves and to live the commandments which God has given you, that they may lead you through the Sacraments on the way of conversion. The world and worldly temptations are testing you, but you, little children, look at God’s creatures which He has given to you in beauty and humility and, little children, love God above everything and He will lead you on the way of salvation. Thank you for having responded to my call.” February 25, 2023 “Dear children! Keep converting and clothe yourselves in penitential garments and in personal, deep prayer; and in humility, seek peace from the Most High. In this time of grace, Satan wants to seduce you; but you, little children, keep looking at my Son and follow Him towards Calvary in renunciation and fasting. I am with you because the Most High permits me to love you and lead you towards the joy of the heart, in faith which grows for all those who love God above all. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Love God above all else!!! It is the answer to every question!! Love God above all else!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2023

June 7, 2023 Reflection – We all rejoice in Heaven!!

We all rejoice in Heaven! June 6, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! In the gospel today (Mark 12:18-27) the Sadducees ask Jesus a trick question about the woman who was married 7 times, to brothers, each of whom died. They ask Jesus whose wife she will be at the resurrection? Of course the Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection. But Jesus tells them: “Are you not misled because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? When they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like angels in heaven…” Jesus could not be stumped. But we can have wrong ideas of heaven too. Our Lady has spoken of heaven with great joy, hoping we can also have the joy of anticipation of heaven. She can’t be stumped either: Easter Sunday, April 22, 1984 “We all rejoice in Heaven. Rejoice with us.” November 27, 1986″Dear children! Again today I call you to consecrate your life to me with love, so I am able to guide you with love. I love you, dear children, with a special love and I desire to bring you all to Heaven unto God. I want you to realize that this life lasts briefly compared to the one in Heaven. Therefore, dear children, decide again today for God. Only that way will I be able to show how much you are dear to me and how much I desire all to be saved and to be with me in Heaven. Thank you for having responded to my call.” January 25, 2021 “Dear children!… Yearn for Heaven; and in Heaven there is no sorrow or hatred. That is why, little children, decide anew for conversion and let holiness begin to reign in your life. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May 25, 1991″Dear Children! …. I am here, dear children, to help you and to lead you to heaven, and in heaven is the joy through which you can already live heaven now. Thank you for having responded to my call!” Our Lady wants us to anticipate heaven as our goal, our real life, a place of great joy!! No more rancor or interpersonal troubles there!! Mother Angelica wrote a fantastic reflection about Heaven that I want to share with you. I found it in the Magnificat for June 2023, and it was published by EWTN Publishing in the book: “Mother Angelica on God, His Home, and His Angels”. Heavenly Ties, Heavenly Love In heaven, we will have a personal love and consideration for each one there. We shall be deeply interested in one another, as real brothers and friends should be. And so, there will be a real family bond between us—an all-for-one and one-for-all attitude. We will possess that all-embracing love that includes everyone and excludes no one. It will be founded in God and never waver or lessen for all eternity. Jesus gave us a glimpse into this family bond in heaven when he answered the question of the Sadducees, who asked him about the woman with seven husbands. According to their all too human way of reasoning, the poor woman was going to have a problem in heaven. Jesus looked at them sadly and answered, Is not the reason why you go wrong, that you understand neither the Scriptures nor the power of God? For, when they rise from the dead, men and women do not marry; no, they are like the angels in heaven. In heaven, we shall be like the angels, not by nature but by our total love for God and one another. On earth we had friends, parents, and relatives who were interdependent upon one another for love and support. But in heaven our happiness is dependent only upon God, and though we will know and love our dear ones in heaven, our family ties will be enlarged to include everyone. Jesus told a crowd one day that anyone who did the will of his Father in heaven was his brother, sister, and mother. If this is true of Jesus, it is also true of us. We will be everything to everyone, with a feeling of belonging to one another. There will be no prejudice to mar the happiness of our family life in heaven, no social barriers to overcome, no feuds or jealousy to endure. Because we will all be one heart and one soul in God, we shall enjoy the most perfect cordial affection for everyone, and each one there will be as a brother, sister, mother, husband, and wife to everyone. The time of testing will be over, and we shall reap the fruits of virtue for all eternity. Right on, Mother Angelica!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2023
