The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary   November 21, 2023 The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Dear Family of Mary! Today’s Memorial presents to us the moment that Our Lady was presented at the temple, where she would pray and serve as a young girl. Though it is not part of Scripture, it is well accepted as an important event in Our Lady’s life. How hard it must have been for Mary to go and live in the Temple, which was a public place where men dominated the scene. She was leaving her parents for the first time, and putting herself in the hands of strangers. I can only imagine her feelings. But, she was also going to live where God Himself dwelt. This was the place where her people could come to pray and encounter the Lord. Imagine the joy for Our Lady, to be in the presence of God day and night!! Mary knew how to raise her heart toward Heaven. She constantly felt the love of God in her heart. She was in complete union with the Lord. And so it is not a surprise that she wants us to have that same union. In this message from August 25, 2023, she leads us to that union of heart to Heart: August 25, 2023 “Dear children! In this time of grace, I am calling you to prayer with the heart. May your hearts, little children, be raised in prayer towards Heaven, so that your heart may feel the God of love who heals you and loves you with immeasurable love. That is why I am with you, to lead you on the way of conversion of heart. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May we imitate our Mother by practicing prayer until we feel the God of love in our hearts and are healed and blessed by Him. May our hearts be converted as she asks! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023

Be witnesses of love and peace…   November 20, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! July 25, 2023 “Dear children! In this time of grace, in which the Most High sends me to you to love you and guide you on the way of conversion, offer your prayers and sacrifices for all those who are far away and have not come to know God’s love. You, little children, be witnesses of love and peace for all peaceless hearts. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady asks us, in this message, to receive all the graces she is sending us with the desire to then turn and share those graces with those who are “far away and have not come to know God’s love.” She wants us to be open handed with all the good that she offers us. Through our prayer and sacrifice and witness, we can share what we have been given in Medjugorje. This is a great blessing for us, if we do it. We will be blessed by God for giving away what we have received. May we learn each day how to receive the graces of Medjugorje, and in turn share them with those we meet. We will be witnesses of love and peace for all peaceless hearts. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023  

To be your refuge!   November 17, 2023 St. Elizabeth of Hungary Dear Family of Mary! June 25, 2023 “Dear children! The Most High permits me to be among you – to pray for you, to be a Mother to you and to be your refuge. Little children, I am calling you: return to God and to prayer and God will bless you abundantly. Thank you for having responded to my call.” This message was given on the 42nd Anniversary of the Apparitions in Medjugorje. For 42 years, Our Mother had been coming to Medjugorje every day! For 42 years Our Lady had been giving us messages, teaching us how to grow in holiness. 42 years! This is amazing! Her presence in Medjugorje has been life changing for millions of people. She has prayed for each one of us, and miracles have happened. She has Mothered us! We truly feel her care for us. Going to Medjugorje, we see her motherly hand in all the details of our pilgrimage. Mother Mary is our Mother. And she is our refuge! Where else can we turn? She is our safety in a world in turmoil. She is our resting place, as our lives grow more and more demanding. Mary is our refuge. And her loving presence continues. We are not abandoned. And her call has not changed either! “Little children, I am calling you: return to God and to prayer and God will bless you abundantly.” Her main duty is to lead us to God. May we respond to her call! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023    

Go into Nature!   November 16, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! May 25, 2023  “Dear children! I am calling you to go into nature and to pray for the Most High to speak to your heart and that you may feel the power of the Holy Spirit so as to witness the love which God has for every creature. I am with you and intercede for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Going into Nature is going into reality. Nature is what God gave to us at creation. Nature is truth. Nature comes from God’s infinite love and His equally infinite intelligence. Nature reflects God’s design for our wellbeing. When we go into Nature, we encounter God. We may not know it, but we do. That is one reason Medjugorje is such a wonderful pilgrimage site. It is a simple place, with simple roads and mountain paths, where you must interface with Nature constantly. This is Our Lady’s design. She wants us to see God in His brilliance through Nature. We encounter Him there and are changed. Our Lady tells us in this message to go into Nature, and to pray with our hearts to God, so that we will be filled with the Holy Spirit and experience the love of God for all creatures. She knows that in our technological age, we spend most of our waking hours in front of computer screens and in artificial environments. We can become spiritually sick if we spend too much time in this manmade reality. Go into Nature!! Go!! Pray to God outside in the open air, with trees and flowers and sun. Go into Nature! Here is a prayer written by St. Francis that may help us: The Canticle of the Sun Most High, all-powerful, good Lord, Yours are the praises, the glory, the honor, and all blessings. To You alone, Most High, do they belong, and no man is worthy to mention Your name. Praised be You, my Lord, with all your creatures; especially Brother Sun, who is the day, and through whom You give us light. And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendor, and bears a likeness to You, Most High One. Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars; in heaven You formed them clear and precious and beautiful. Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Wind, and through the air, cloudy and serene, and every kind of weather through which You give sustenance to Your creatures. Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Water, which is very useful and humble and precious and chaste. Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Fire, through whom You light the night; and he is beautiful and playful and robust and strong. Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Mother Earth, who sustains us and governs us and who produces varied fruits with colored flowers and herbs. Praised be You, my Lord, through those who give pardon for Your love, and bear infirmity and tribulation. Blessed are those who endure in peace for by You, Most High, they shall be crowned. Praised be You, my Lord, through our Sister Bodily Death, from whom no living man can escape. Woe to those who die in mortal sin. Blessed are those whom death will find in Your most holy will, for the second death shall do them no harm. Praise and bless my Lord, and give Him thanks, and serve Him with great humility. Amen. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023

Be carriers of the peace and joy of the Risen Jesus!   November 15, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! April 25, 2023 “Dear children! I am calling all of you to be carriers of the peace and joy of the risen Jesus for all those who are far from prayer; that the love of Jesus, through your lives, may transform them to a new life of conversion and holiness. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In the storms of our present time, – cultural storms, political storms, intellectual storms, religious storms, and familial storms- we must be carriers of the peace and joy of the risen Jesus. We must be like Jesus, who stood up in the boat being tossed by the waves and the wind, and commanded the storm to cease. We must carry Jesus into the storms of our time, and simply make Him present to all those being inundated by the lies and sins that abound. Only Jesus can stop the storms of hatred, fear, lies and violence that plague the people of our day. Only Jesus can quell the storms of disbelief. May we carry Him in our hearts, in our minds, in our actions and in our words, to all those in need of Him, that they may be transformed by Jesus into holiness. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

A time of prayer…   November 14, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! March 25, 2023 “Dear children!. May this time be a time of prayer for you.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023  

Keep looking at my Son…   November 13, 2023 St. Francis Zavier Cabrini Dear Family of Mary! 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.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023    

  You, little children, are my hope… November 10, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! We continue our review of the messages from Our Lady over the past year. In this message for January, Our Lady makes a heartfelt plea to her children (that’s you and me) to pray, fast, do penance and pray for peace. I have never heard her speak so clearly and urgently about the state of mankind. But this is indeed the situation today. Today is the Feast of St. Leo the Great! When St. Leo was working for the Pope in Rome, Atilla the Hun advanced against Rome to destroy it. The Empire was very weak and Atilla had taken over the whole world. His last stroke was to be Rome. But St. Leo was sent to ‘negotiate’ with Atilla. No army behind him, only two escorts with him, St. Leo approached Atilla and asked for a meeting. Atilla and Leo spoke together, and as a result, Atilla packed up his vast army departed, leaving Rome intact! No one knows what was said at that meeting, but it changed the history of the world! Our Lady is looking to us to be like those two escorts who accompanied St. Leo to the meeting with Atilla. With nothing but our hearts and our prayer and fasting, we need to support Our Lady as she confronts our enemy and defeats him. She needs us! We are her hope! January 25, 2023 “Dear children! Pray with me for peace, because Satan wants war and hatred in hearts and peoples. Therefore, pray and sacrifice your days by fasting and penance, that God may give you peace. The future is at a crossroads, because modern man does not want God. That is why mankind is heading to perdition. You, little children, are my hope. Pray with me, that what I began in Fatima and here may be realized. Be prayer and witness peace in your surroundings, and be people of peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023  

I am carrying my Son, Jesus, to you…   November 9, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! We continue our review of the messages from Our Lady over the past year. Our Lady’s call in this message is both a blessing and an urgent call to us. Please pray over this message all day today, letting it sink deeply into your hearts! December 25, 2022  “Dear children! Today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, that you may be His peace and a reflection of [the] clarity and joy of Heaven. Pray, little children, to be open to receive peace because many hearts are closed to the call of the light, which changes hearts. I am with you and am praying for you to open yourselves to receive the King of peace, Who fills your hearts with warmth and blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023

Prayer opens hearts and gives hope…   November 8, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! As we approach the end of the Liturgical Year, I feel it would be good to review the messages we have received from Our Lady over the past year, from November of 2022 to October of 2023. In this way we will prepare for the last message we will receive in this year, November 25, 2023. I feel that these 12 messages are very important in understanding what God is saying to us and what Our Lady is with us to accomplish. Please take each message and pray over it. I do reflections on each weekday. So if we start today, we will end on November 23. Then on November 24 we will give thanks for Our Lady’s messages and wait for the message on November 25. Our message for today: November 25, 2022  “Dear children! The Most High has sent me to you to teach you prayer. Prayer opens hearts and gives hope, and faith is born and strengthened. Little children, with love I am calling you: return to God, because God is love and your hope. You do not have a future if you do not decide for God; and that is why I am with you to guide you to decide for conversion and life, and not for death. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023
