You will be peacemakers in the peaceless world. December 10, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! November 25, 2021 “Dear children! I am with you in this time of mercy and I am calling all of you to be carriers of peace and love in this world where, through me, little children, God is calling you to be prayer and love, and an expression of Heaven here on earth. May your hearts be filled with joy and faith in God; that, little children, you may have complete trust in His holy will. That is why I am with you, because He, the Most High, is sending me among you to encourage you to the hope; and you will be peacemakers in this peaceless world. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Christmas is a time when we gather around the Holy Family and bask in their peace. We know that we need to live peace and share peace, but it is not always easy. This message from November 25 speaks of peace to us. It is really important to live this message. And Our Lady has given us several other messages about being peacemakers or carriers of peace. Today I gathered 5 messages to use with the prayer of the Rosary. Let Our Lady’s heart speak to you as you let her words lead you! June 25, 1995 “Dear Children! Today I am happy to see you in such great numbers, that you have responded and have come to live my messages. I invite you, little children, to be my joyful carriers of peace in this troubled world. Pray for peace so that as soon as possible a time of peace, which my heart waits impatiently for, may reign. I am near to you, little children, and intercede for every one of you before the Most High. I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” October 25, 1997 “Dear children! Also today I am with you and I call all of you to renew yourselves by living my messages. Little children, may prayer be life for you and may you be an example to others. Little children, I desire for you to become carriers of peace and of God’s joy to today’s world without peace. That is why, little children, pray, pray, pray! I am with you and I bless you with my motherly peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” April 25, 1999 “Dear children! Also today I call you to prayer… Little children, be joyful carriers of peace and love in this peaceless world. By fasting and prayer, witness that you are mine and that you live my messages. Pray and seek! I am praying and interceding for you before God that you convert; that your life and behavior always be Christian. 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.” May 25, 2004 “Dear children! Also today, I urge you to consecrate yourselves to my Heart and to the Heart of my Son Jesus. Only in this way will you be mine more each day and you will inspire each other all the more to holiness. In this way joy will rule your hearts and you will be carriers of peace and love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021

  He, the Most High, is sending me among you… December 9, 2021 St. Juan DiegoDear Family of Mary! Our Lady spoke these words to us in the November 25, 2021 Message: “That is why I am with you, because He, the Most High, is sending me among you to encourage you to the hope; and you will be peacemakers in this peaceless world.” Our Lady tells us that the Most High has sent her to us. She is with us to encourage us and lead us on the way of peace. She comes with good news for all her children. She comes to give us hope, and train us to be peacemakers in this peaceless world. On this feast day of St. Juan Diego, I can only think of how Our Lady appeared to him, and gave him a similar mission! She came to earth, appearing on Tepeyac Hill, and later told St. Juan, “Am I not here who am your mother?” She gave St. Juan Diego a job to do for her, to build a temple in her honor where she could bless and care for her children. She wanted to bring hope to St. Juan and his people who were being so terribly abused. She wanted to bring peace to Mexico. And she did! St. Juan was a very humble and simple man, who had chosen to become a Catholic and stood firm in his faith. Our Lady chose him to show countless people the truth of her presence, through the miracle that was wrought on his tilma! For the rest of his life he lived in a hut outside the Church the Bishop built in honor of Our Lady, and told millions of people all about Our Lady! We may not have visions of Our Lady, but we have become her children in a special way through her presence in Medjugorje. And it is our job to witness, just as St. Juan Diego witnessed. We must witness her presence and her call to peace and holiness! What we have seen and heard, we must tell others! In this way we will be peacemakers! This Litany to Saint Juan Diego is a lovely way to call on him to help us be witnesses like he was. We want all the world to know about Our Lady! Litany to Saint Juan Diego Lord have mercy on us. Lord have mercy on us. Christ have mercy on us. Christ have mercy on us. Lord have mercy on us. Lord have mercy on us. Christ hear us. Christ hear us. Christ graciously hear us.

The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception! December 8, 2021 The Solemnity of the Immaculate ConceptionDear Family of Mary!Today we celebrate the wonder of Our Lady’s Immaculate Conception. This reality which is Mary takes my breath away! As it says in morning prayer: “O God, you preserved the Virgin from all stain of sin through the redemptive death of you Son, and thus you made of her a worthy dwelling place for him!” (Magnificat, 114) Yes, Our Lady is so pure, so unburdened by sin! She is the only human who could have received Jesus worthily as her Son! And through her, we have all received Jesus as our Redeemer and King!St. Anselm spoke these inspired words about Our Lady’s Immaculate Conception. May our hearts sing with joy and breath in the pureness of her being which will renew our spirits and raise our souls to new hope! From a Sermon by Saint Anselm Oratio 52: 158, 955-956) Virgin Mary, all nature is blessed in you! Blessed Lady, sky and stars, earth and rivers, day and night –everything that is subject to the power or use of man –rejoice that through you they are in some sense restored to their lost beauty and are endowed with inexpressible new grace. All creatures were dead, as it were, useless for men or for the praise of God, who made them. The world, contrary to its true destiny, was corrupted and tainted by the acts of men who served idols. Now all creation has been restored to life and rejoices that it is controlled and given splendor by men who believe in God. The universe rejoices with new and indefinable loveliness. Not only does it feel the unseen presence of God himself, its Creator, it sees him openly, working and making it holy. These great blessings spring from the blessed fruit of Mary’s womb. Through the fullness of the grace that was given you, dead things rejoice in their freedom, and those in heaven are glad to be made new. Through the Son who was the glorious fruit of your virgin womb, just souls who died before his life-giving death rejoice as they are freed from captivity, and the angels are glad at the restoration of their shattered domain. Lady, full and overflowing with grace, all creation receives new life from your abundance. Virgin, blessed above all creatures, through your blessing all creation is blessed, not only creation from its Creator, but the Creator himself has been blessed by creation. To Mary God gave his only-begotten Son, whom he loved as himself. Through Mary God made himself a Son, not different but the same, by nature Son of God and Son of Mary. The whole universe was created by God, and God was born of Mary. God created all things, and Mary gave birth to God. The God who made all things gave himself form through Mary, and thus he made his own creation. He who could create all things from nothing would not remake his ruined creation without Mary. God, then, is the Father of the created world and Mary the mother of the re-created world. God is the Father by whom all things were given life, and Mary the mother through whom all things were given new life. For God begot the Son, through whom all things were made, and Mary gave birth to him as the Savior of the world. Without God’s Son, nothing could exist; without Mary’s Son, nothing could be redeemed. Truly the Lord is with you, to whom the Lord granted that all nature should owe as much to you as to himself. (St. Anselm – Oratio 52: 158, 955-956) Our Lady, this amazing woman who God chose to be the Mother of His Son, longs for us to be close to her, to follow her and listen to her messages. She longs for us to be close to her Immaculate Heart where we will find God. We can only be stunned by this wonder of love! June 25, 2013 “Dear children! With joy in the heart I love you all and call you to draw closer to my Immaculate Heart so I can draw you still closer to my Son Jesus, and that He can give you His peace and love, which are nourishment for each one of you. Open yourselves, little children, to prayer – open yourselves to my love. I am your mother and cannot leave you alone in wandering and sin. You are called, little children, to be my children, my beloved children, so I can present you all to my Son. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

  May your hearts be filled with joy and faith in God; that, little children, you may have complete trust in His holy will. December 7, 2021 St. Ambrose Dear Family of Mary! In this time of darkness, Our Lady is with us to lead us to her Son, and to fill our hearts with joy and faith: “May your hearts be filled with joy and faith in God; that, little children, you may have complete trust in His holy will.” (November 25, 2021) No matter the fears that surround us, we must be children of God who trust in His holy will for us, which is love and mercy. Nothing should shake us in this regard. Our Lady has been with us in this miraculous way for 40 years, preparing us for these days. She has walked with us every step of those 40 years, coming every day to the visionaries and remaining in Medjugorje to minister to the pilgrims. She has given us so many messages, all with a unique gift for us, a small encouragement to follow her on the road to holiness and trust. I am learning that Our Lady’s messages are not meant to be intellectual communications. They certainly carry the truth and can spark such commentary. But Our Mother’s messages are given to us as guidance for the way. She is leading us, one day at a time, through her messages into the will of God, into the love of God, into the way of God for us in this battle that we are living through. Her messages tell us what to do and must be lived. If Our Lady tells us to fill our hearts with joy and faith in God, we need to do it. We need to open our hearts to the joy of God, to all the good that God has done for us, to His great love which is joy. Then we need to fill our hearts with more faith, by simply giving thanks for all God has done for us in our lives, in this very day, this moment. Gratitude to what has been given deepens our faith in God’s plan for our future. With this foundation of joy and faith, we will be able to trust God for our future. We will be able to trust His Holy will!! And that means we will not be paralyzed by fear of the future, we will be ready to follow the Lord wherever He leads. I want to share a beautiful litany written by one of the Sister of Life. It is a Litany of Trust. I have shared it before, but I think it will help us to do as Our Lady has asked us to do, to fill our hearts with joy and faith, and trust in God’s holy will. Let’s pray this Litany as a help in doing what Our Lady asks: LITANY OF TRUST written by the Sisters of Life From the belief that I have to earn Your love Deliver me, Jesus. From the fear that I am unlovable Deliver me, Jesus. From the false security that I have what it takes Deliver me, Jesus. From the fear that trusting You will leave me more destitute Deliver me, Jesus. From all suspicion of Your words and promises Deliver me, Jesus. From the rebellion against childlike dependency on You Deliver me, Jesus. From refusals and reluctances in accepting Your will Deliver me, Jesus. From anxiety about the future Deliver me, Jesus. From resentment or excessive preoccupation with the past Deliver me, Jesus. From restless self-seeking in the present moment Deliver me, Jesus. From disbelief in Your love and presence Deliver me, Jesus. From the fear of being asked to give more than I have Deliver me, Jesus. From the belief that my life has no meaning or worth Deliver me, Jesus. From the fear of what love demands Deliver me, Jesus. From discouragement Deliver me, Jesus. That You are continually holding me, sustaining me, loving me Jesus, I trust in You. That Your love goes deeper than my sins and failings and transforms me Jesus, I trust in You. That not knowing what tomorrow brings is an invitation to lean on You Jesus, I trust in You. That You are with me in my suffering Jesus, I trust in You. That my suffering, united to Your own, will bear fruit in this life and the next Jesus, I trust in You. That You will not leave me orphan, that You are present in Your Church Jesus, I trust in You. That Your plan is better than anything else Jesus, I trust in You. That You always hear me and in Your goodness always respond to me Jesus, I trust in You. That You give me the grace to accept forgiveness and to forgive others Jesus, I trust in You. That You give me all the strength I need for what is asked Jesus, I trust in You. That my life is a gift Jesus, I trust in You. That You will teach me to trust You Jesus, I trust in You. Amen (SISTERS OF LIFE, Annunciation Motherhouse, 38 Montebello Road, Suffern, NY 10901 845.357.3547 sistersoflife.org) May your hearts be filled with joy and faith in God; that, little children, you may have complete trust in His holy will.

  They went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles… (Generous men from Cenacolo Community carrying a pilgrim up Apparition Hill!)   December 6, 2021 St.Nicholas Dear Family of Mary! The Gospel reading for today is the powerful story of Jesus healing the paralyzed man who was let down through the roof by his friends. Here is that amazing event: On one of those days, as he was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him to heal. And behold, men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they sought to bring him in and lay him before Jesus; but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus. And when he saw their faith he said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.” And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, “Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God only?” When Jesus perceived their questionings, he answered them, “Why do you question in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, `Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, `Rise and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins” — he said to the man who was paralyzed — “I say to you, rise, take up your bed and go home.” And immediately he rose before them, and took up that on which he lay, and went home, glorifying God. And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, “We have seen strange things today.” (Luke 5: 17-29) We marvel at the power and wisdom of Jesus! He was able to do so much through one situation, healing a paralyzed man, showing his ability not only to heal but to forgive sins, speaking to the hearts of the Pharisees and teachers boldly and with surgical precision, and building up the faith of the people. But what I want to talk about is the love and perseverance of the men bringing the paralytic to Jesus. They must have carried him a long way to get to the house where Jesus was staying. They must have had great love for that poor man, to do such a thing. And when they reached the house, and they could not get in by the door, they had the courage and the ingenuity to climb up on the roof. They had to hoist that man up with them, and then find the exact spot to start tearing the tiles away, so they could lower their friend down at Jesus’ feet. Wow! I am sure Jesus did not overlook their charity. And their hard work paid off with a stunning healing of their friend. They had great mercy to do that. While in prayer, on my last trip to Medjugorje, I was given the thought that Mary TV is a lot like those men who carried the paralytic to Jesus. There are millions of people who cannot get to Medjugorje, and never will get there probably. But the little team of Mary TV has found a way to get them to Medjugorje, by lowering those people from all over the world down through the digital roof to where Our Lady is waiting for them in Medjugorje! It is a huge task, but the Mary TV team will not flag in zeal. And though our team on the ground is doing the physical and technical work, it is the whole Mary TV family that is supplying what is needed to do the job. You are helping us with prayer, and you are helping us with your precious donations to pay for the equipment and manpower to get the job done. You are making a way to lower down millions of people though the digital roof, into Medjugorje!! On Friday, November 3, at English Mass, Fr. Michael Fitzgerald closed his homily with these words: “Today I invite you to spare a thought for the young man on the TV camera, and all of Mary TV. Are they not also missionaries? Without ever leaving their village, standing behind the camera, bringing the whole Mass, the music, prayers, reading, the Gospel to many countries throughout the world. I know one home in Cork, in Ireland, will be listening to this Mass. And what an example those young men in Mary TV give to all of us, by their devotion and reverence. We thank God for all working in Mary TV. And support them with our love and prayers. Let us conclude with the words of Our Lady in her last message; ‘Dear children, I am with you in this time of Mercy. And I am calling all of you to be carriers of peace and love in this world.’” Thank you Fr. Michael for your wonderful words of encouragement to Mary TV! I think that those cameramen are like the men who carried the paralytic to Jesus. Those cameras are heavy and they carry them all over Medjugorje, bringing us all closer to Jesus and Mary through the prayer in Our Lady’s village. And the technology that Mary TV has mastered in order to send out all that prayer throughout the world is like the ingenuity of those men on the roof. This task of bringing the world to Medjugorje is very much like the task that the friends of the paralytic had. In both cases it takes love, courage, dedication and ingenuity! Thank you to all of you who are part of this work! Thank you to all our prayer warriors, our donors, our contributors, our team members on the ground in Medjugorje and around the world, and especially thank you to Our Lady who has called us to help her to find her children all over the world and bring them to Medjugorje. May 8, 1986 “Dear children! You are the ones responsible for the messages. The source of grace is here, but you, dear children, are the vessels which transport the gifts. Therefore, dear children, I am calling you to do your job with responsibility. Each one shall be responsible according to his own ability. Dear children, I am calling you to give the gifts to others with love, and not to keep them for yourselves. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May we all give the gifts to others with love! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2021 PS. Here is the link to our matching grant campaign. It is a wonderful way to help us lower down the people of the world into Medjugorje through the digital roof!!!

May your hearts be filled with joy and faith in God…   December 3, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! “May your hearts be filled with joy and faith in God; that, little children, you may have complete trust in His holy will…” (November 25, 2021) These words (almost a prayer) from Our Lady carry in them an immense confidence in God. She is communicating to us in this message (November 25, 2021) her complete trust in God and His plan for her children in this time. Our Lady is not a worry wart. She does not speak words of discouragement or fear. She stands on her knowledge of God which is complete and perfect! She knows who wins!! And she wants us to join her in that confidence and perfect trust, even though we are not in heaven yet. We are sojourners on our way to Heaven. And she is encouraging us to keep going, to not flag in zeal or hope. She is our cheerleader, you might say! And so she wishes that our hearts would be filled with joy and faith in God. She hopes we will come to a place of complete trust in God’s holy will. She wants us to trust the Father just as she did throughout her life on earth. Even during the Crucifixion of her Son, she did not lose that trust. So she is a very credible witness to us. We can accept her guidance with our whole hearts, because she is worthy of that trust. So, how can we fill our hearts with joy and faith in God? How can we come to have complete trust in His holy will? It is through prayer, and through concrete actions that are based on our faith and joy in God. Here is a litany written by Tom Hoopes that really speaks to this process of faith and joy and trust in God’s will. I hope you can pray it this weekend, and let your trust in God grow! Litany of Faith, Hope, and Love Lord God, please give me the grace of the virtues of faith, hope, and love that you promised at baptism and that only you can give. Act of faith. My God, I believe in you, and all that your Church teaches, because you have said it, and your word is true. Lord, I believe in you … … Because the beauty of the world speaks of you. … Because the goodness in the world comes from you. … Because I can discern and know the truth. … Because the laws of the universe are ordered. … Because your creation is sustained in being. … Because I am a mystery to myself that your words illuminate. … Because you are the foundation of truth. … Because you are too great for me to fully understand. … Because trustworthy people have believed in you for centuries. … Because of the witness of science. … Because of the witness of the saints. … Because of the witness of the Gospels. … Because you have given me the gift of faith. … Increase my faith. Act of hope. My God, I hope in you, for grace and for glory, because of your mercy, your promises and your power. Lord, I hope in you … … Because everything else decays. … Because you always keep your promises. … Because you are the King of the Universe. … Because you created me for your purpose. … Because I have seen your hand in my own life. … Because your words direct me. … Because your goodness is the ground I walk on. … Because you are greater than anything that threatens me. … Because in history, good has triumphed. … Because you have sustained your Church despite the weakness of men. … Because you have provided for me all my life. … Because you are all powerful. … Because without you, I would not exist. … Because of the witness of the saints. … That I may I be happy with you forever. … Increase my hope. Act of love. O my God, because You are so good, I love You above all things and for your sake I love my neighbor as myself. Lord, I love you … … Because you loved me first. … Because you are infinite goodness. … Because you are inexhaustible beauty. … Because you are unfathomable truth. … Because you made love the fundamental law. … Because I wouldn’t exist without love. … Because you created me. … Because you gave me every good thing. … Because you gave me my faith. … Because you have protected me. … Because you have tested me. … Because you have trusted me with your life in my soul. … Because you have surrounded me with love. … Because you died for me. … Give me deeds of love and not just words. … Increase my love. Let us pray Lord God, give me the faith I need to know your will, the hope I need to accept your will, and the love I need to do your will, even when I don’t understand it, knowing that your way is better. I ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen. https://excorde.org/2020/in-darkness-light-a-litany-of-faith-hope-and-love In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2021

  God will hear your cries…   December 2, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! Sometimes when Denis and I pray the Rosary together, I ask Jesus to give me the date of a message that He wants us to read at the end of our prayer. Very often a date will pop up in my mind. And when I find the message for that date, I am surprised at how important and timely that message is for us. The messages are not just meant for the time in which they were given, but are very much “now words” as well. The Holy Spirit speaks through them. Today, when we prayed, I heard “March 25, 2020”. So I opened my message book and found that message. It had and continues to have a big impact upon my heart. Every sentence spoke to me urgently. Here is the message: March 25, 2020“Dear children! I am with you all these years to lead you to the way of salvation. Return to my Son; return to prayer and fasting. Little children, permit God to speak to your heart, because Satan is reigning and wants to destroy your lives and the earth on which you walk. Be courageous and decide for holiness. You will see conversion in your hearts and families; prayer will be heard; God will hear your cries and give you peace. I am with you and am blessing you all with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” First of all, Our Lady makes it clear that she has been with us a long time…”all these years”! And all these years she has been trying to lead us on the way of salvation. Hundreds of messages have been given to us, all with the express purpose of saving us. We know we have needed this salvation. We know that we have strayed from the path of life, that we have been lost at times. And we are now so grateful to Our Lady for coming to find and lead us home. But she tells us to “Return to my Son; return to prayer and fasting.” The way back to Jesus is always the same, prayer and fasting! There is no other way. We must seek the Lord in our prayer and do penance to free ourselves from the world, the flesh and the Devil. It is so easy to grow lax in prayer, to stop believing that Jesus will speak to us in prayer. Life gets heavy, and we forget that only Jesus can lighten our load. Through prayer! Then Our Lady tells us why we must return to prayer. There is danger abroad. “Little children, permit God to speak to your heart, because Satan is reigning and wants to destroy your lives and the earth on which you walk.” She tells us that Satan is not just lurking about, trying to cause trouble. He is actually “reigning”…Satan is the ruling power on earth these days. He has bound many souls under his dominion and is using them to destroy our lives and the earth on which we walk. This is not idle talk. Our Lady sees it all, every deception and curse that has been woven over human society with the intention of destroying us. Don’t we feel it? But the answer is still to let God speak to our hearts. In prayer God can speak to us words of power and light, helping us to stand and fight. And so Our Lady tells us: “Be courageous and decide for holiness. You will see conversion in your hearts and families; prayer will be heard; God will hear your cries and give you peace.” We have free wills, and so we must decide for holiness, courageously! But once we make the decision, God will help us in our conversion, and answer our prayers, hear our cries for help and deliverance, and give us peace. God is not far off. He only waits for us to return to prayer, to be courageous and to seek His face. He will do the rest. And the last line is such good news: “I am with you and am blessing you all with my motherly blessing.” We don’t have to do it alone. God has sent Our Mother to bless us and to be with us. She is by our side in these days to help us stand against the enemy, and build the kingdom of God. She is with us to protect us and bless us!! This messages was so powerful when we received it in March of 2020, but it is even more powerful for me today, because I realize even more how very much we need these words of encouragement. We must return to prayer and with courage, decide for holiness. God will bless us now as never before if we do. He wants to renew us and free us, and renew the face of the earth! And so we must answer Our Lady’s call again today. She thanks us for that response because we need her very much. We are in danger and we do need our Mother! And so she say, “Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2021

Be carriers of peace and love in this world…   December 1, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! “I am calling all of you to be carriers of peace and love in this world where, through me, little children, God is calling you to be prayer and love, and an expression of Heaven here on earth.” (November 25, 2021) Our Lady has used this expression several times in her messages: “To be carriers…” It might be easy to gloss over that expression. We think of being a carrier as simply being someone who carries something to others. But I don’t think it is meant to be just something external that one carries around, or even delivers to others. Because the things she asks us to carry are not objects, but ways and qualities of being, i.e. peace, love, the good, light, truth, hope, good news, God’s word, etc. These ways of being are the ways of God! They are virtues and images of God. So she is asking us to be carriers of God’s attributes, of God’s being and presence. God is Good. God is Light. God is Truth. God is Hope. God is Love. God is the Word. God is Good News! To be carriers of these attributes is to be carriers of God in this world. It means we are filled with the Holy Spirit, and wherever we go, we bring the blessings of the Spirit! We can only be carriers of peace and love, if we have immersed ourselves in the peace and love of God through prayer and fasting, reading the Bible, going to confession, attending Mass and receiving Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. That is how we become carriers of God in this world. Indeed, Our Lady tells us that we will become “expressions of Heaven here on earth” if we carry God’s peace and love, if we carry God’s presence in us. To be an expression of Heaven is amazing. How can it be?? Holiness must be the way. Heaven is pure and good, holy. So if we are an expression of Heaven, we must be holy and good and pure. An expression of heaven here on earth…an expression of heaven here on earth…May it be so. Our Lady was an expression of heaven on earth during her life, so pure and immaculate, so full of God. We are her children. Surely she can teach us to become expressions of Heaven here on earth. I am thinking of the consecration prayer that Mother Immaculata wrote in 1956. In it we ask to receive the heavenly attributes of Our Mother, that Our Lady would actually take over our personality and lead us to be just like her! In this way we would really become expressions of Heaven here on earth: Totus Tuus (Totally Yours) 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. Amen May we all become expressions of Heaven here on earth! Our Lady needs us to help her to bring peace to this world today… In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2021

  I am with you in this time of mercy…   November 30, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! “Dear children!  I am with you in this time of mercy…” (November 25, 2021) We are living in the time of Mercy! It was announced by St. Faustina in the 1930’s through the revelations that Jesus gave to her. Before He comes as a just judge, Jesus comes as the merciful savior to save as many souls as possible. This time of Mercy has extended to our day. Our Lady of Medjugorje is the most amazing gift of Mercy to us in these days. Her presence is Mercy itself! Now it is up to us to draw others into that merciful love that is flowing out upon us. St. Faustina understood what it takes to be filled with Jesus’ Mercy and to share it with others. She wrote in her Diary a beautiful prayer asking Jesus to transform her entire life into Mercy for the sake of others. We can pray this prayer with the same intention: 163. JMJ The Year 1937 General Exercises + O Most Holy Trinity! As many times as I breathe, as many times as my heart beats, as many times as my blood pulsates through my body, so many thousand times do I want to glorify Your mercy. +1 want to be completely transformed into Your mercy and to be Your living reflection, O Lord. May the greatest of all divine attributes, that of Your unfathomable mercy, pass through my heart and soul to my neighbor. Help me, O Lord, that my eyes may be merciful, so that I may never suspect or judge from appearances, but look for what is beautiful in my neighbors’ souls and come to their rescue. Help me, that my ears may be merciful, so that I may give heed to my neighbors’ needs and not be indifferent to their pains and moanings. Help me, O Lord, that my tongue may be merciful, so that I should never speak negatively of my neighbor, but have a word of comfort and forgiveness for all. Help me, O Lord, that my hands may be merciful and filled with good deeds, so that I may do only good to my neighbors and take upon myself the more difficult and toilsome tasks. Help me, that my feet may be merciful, so that I may hurry to assist my neighbor, overcoming my own fatigue and weariness. My true rest is in the service of my neighbor. Help me, O Lord, that my heart may be merciful so that I myself may feel all the sufferings of my neighbor. I will refuse my heart to no one. I will be sincere even with those who, I know, will abuse my kindness. And I will lock myself up in the most merciful Heart of Jesus. I will bear my own suffering in silence. May Your mercy, O Lord, rest upon me. + You Yourself command me to exercise the three degrees of mercy. The first: the act of mercy, of whatever kind. The second: the word of mercy – if I cannot carry out a work of mercy, I will assist by my words. The third: prayer – if I cannot show mercy by deeds or words, I can always do so by prayer. My prayer reaches out even there where I cannot reach out physically. O my Jesus, transform me into Yourself, for you can do all things. (Diary of St. Faustina, entry 163) Thank you, dearest Mother, for showing us the great Mercy of your Son and helping us to reflect it in this very needy world, thirsty for the Mercy of God! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2021 P.S. You can read the conversation between Marija and Fr.

I am with you in this time of mercy…   November 29, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! “Dear children!  I am with you in this time of mercy and I am calling all of you to be carriers of peace and love in this world where, through me, little children, God is calling you to be prayer and love, and an expression of Heaven here on earth. May your hearts be filled with joy and faith in God; that, little children, you may have complete trust in His holy will. That is why I am with you, because He, the Most High, is sending me among you to encourage you to the hope; and you will be peacemakers in this peaceless world. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (November 25, 2021) Our Lady again directs our vision upward, towards Heaven and the love of God. This message is filled with hope. It would be enough if we learned to live this message every day in Advent. Again this month, we have received the written transcript of the telephone conversation between Marija Pavlovic Lunetti and Fr. Livio about the November 25, 2021 Message. Their conversation is posted on the Mary TV website – at this link: https://marytv.tv/november-25-2021-marija-speaks-about-our-ladys-message/ Marija speaks very eloquently of the power of the presence of Our Lady in Medjugorje! She and Fr. Livio discussed the first line of the message in which Our Lady spoke about “this time of Mercy!” Here is an excerpt of their conversation: Father Livio: Listen Marjia, our Mother generally speaks about “ Time of Grace” but this time she used the word “Mercy”, “Time of Mercy”. It’s a nuance but does it suggest something to you, the fact that she said “Mercy” instead of “Grace”? Marija: It’s awesome because I thought I was wrong when I heard it, but I have to recall myself to this “Time of Grace”, even more. To me it’s not a nuance but a reality because God with His Mercy, Love, Desire to help us, has sent us His Mother. This is an act of Mercy for so many who are lost, confused, so many people who don’t have a destination. Our Mother is calling us, our goal is God, our destination is Heaven, Eternal life; we are lost and this is why She is telling us “Return because this is the “Time of Mercy”. FL. It’s beautiful! M. Our Lady is telling us to be Love, to be the Peace that God is giving us. Therefore, when we have peace, love, prayer, total trust in God, at that moment our heart sings with joy, what a wonderful, beautiful thing this is, nonetheless we yearn for Paradise and we want to build it here among us. F L. Listen Marjia nevertheless the vocabulary word “Mercy” is also meant for the present time of sufferings throughout humanity. Even though we have walked away, denied the faith of the Cross, God has given us His Mother as to say, we have turned our back to Him, but He went to look for the lost sheep; there is this Goodness over this lost and pagan world just like She said in a previous message. We really should meditate over this greatness of the love of God. M. Exactly, Our Lady wants to bring us toward this love of God, Paradise, Eternal life, fill our hearts with joy, faith; she wants us to have a total trust in God, to become men of God, men of prayer, fruit of love. We have an awesome word that means “carrier of peace” (In Croatian : Mirotvorci) – one vocabulary word, beautiful! For us to be “Mirotvorci” is wonderful! It refers to a man who is a carrier of peace and love. This is just what our Mother is telling us to be – expressions of love, Heaven, prayer, the will of God which will run over our own lives, every and each moment, because life and death are in God’s Hands. Often men want to create a world without God without thinking about Heaven. Instead our Mother is calling us to put our gaze upon Heaven.(Marija Pavlovic Lunetti and Fr. Livio – 11/25/21) May we all become Carriers of Peace, as Maria described. This is our job, in helping Our Lady to save the world. You can read the entire conversation between Marija and Fr.
