May 23, 2023 Reflection – Novena to the Holy Spirit Day 5

Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 5   May 23, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 5 Our Lady speaks about the Spirit and prayer: May 25, 2003 “Dear children! Also today I call you to prayer. Renew your personal prayer, and in a special way pray to the Holy Spirit to help you pray with the heart. I intercede for all of you, little children, and call all of you to conversion. If you convert, all those around you will also be renewed and prayer will be a joy for them. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady calls us to prayer. Prayer is one of her first priorities for us. Why? Because without prayer we can never give our lives over to God. We can never learn and live God’s will for us. We will never find peace and hope in God. Prayer should be like breathing for us. Prayer is our life source. And notice what she tells us to do: Renew your personal prayer, and in a special way pray to the Holy Spirit to help you pray with the heart. We must renew our personal prayer, which means to make a new and definite commitment to pray every day. And then, ask the Holy Spirit to teach us how to pray with the heart!! Prayer with the heart is a conversation with God. The Holy Spirit is God! He can teach us how to converse with Himself, with Jesus and with the Father. The Holy Spirit can even pray in us, with His own words as it says in Romans: “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words.” (Romans 8:26) We want the Spirit to pray in us and through us, because He will pray for what is most necessary: “And He who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” (Romans 8:27) Truly we need the Holy Spirit to come and pray in us!! Mother, please pray for us to receive the Holy Spirit of Prayer, that we can pray as we ought! The Paraclete, the Fount of Love (A prayer by St. John Henry Newman) My God, I adore You, as the Third Person of the Ever-Blessed Trinity, under the name and designation of Love. You are that Living Love, wherewith the Father and the Son love each other. And You are the Author of supernatural love in our hearts. “Fons vivus, ignis, charitas.” As a fire You came down from heaven on the day of Pentecost and as a fire You burn away the dross of sin and vanity in the heart and light up the pure flame of devotion and affection. It is You who unite heaven and earth by showing to us the glory and beauty of the Divine Nature, and making us love what is in Itself so winning and transporting. I adore You, O uncreated and everlasting Fire, by which our souls live, by which alone they are made fit for heaven. Amen The Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit: O Lord Jesus Christ, Who, before ascending into heaven, didst promise to send the Holy Ghost to finish Thy work in the souls of Thy Apostles and Disciples, deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to me, that He may perfect in my soul the work of Thy grace and Thy love. Grant me: the Spirit of Wisdom that I may despise the perishable things of this world and aspire only after the things that are eternal, the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten my mind with the light of Thy divine truth, the Spirit of Counsel that I may ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining Heaven, the Spirit of Fortitude that I may bear my cross with Thee, and that I may overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation, the Spirit of Knowledge that I may know God and know myself and grow perfect in the science of the Saints, the Spirit of Piety that I may find the service of God sweet and amiable, the Spirit of Fear that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards God, and may dread in any way to displease Him. Mark me, dear Lord, with the sign of Thy true disciples and animate me in all things with Thy Spirit. Amen. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2023

May 22, 2023 Reflection – Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 4

Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 4 May 22, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! This is Day 4 the Novena to the Holy Spirit. Today we ask for an outpouring of God’s love in our lives, through the Holy Spirit! Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 4: Our Lady speaks: April 2, 2014 “Dear children, with a motherly love I desire to help you with your life of prayer and penance to be a sincere attempt at drawing closer to my Son and His divine light – that you may know how to separate yourselves from sin. Every prayer, every Mass and every fasting is an attempt at drawing closer to my Son, a reminder of His glory and a refuge from sin – it is a way to a renewed union of the good Father and His children. Therefore, my dear children, with hearts open and full of love, cry out the name of the Heavenly Father that He may illuminate you with the Holy Spirit. Through the Holy Spirit you will become a spring of God’s love. All those who do not know my Son, all those thirsting for the love and peace of my Son, will drink from this spring. Thank you. Pray for your shepherds. I pray for them and I desire that they may always feel the blessing of my motherly hands and the support of my motherly heart.” In this message Our Lady calls us to separate from the world, and live a life of prayer and penance. Why? She wants us to be free of all influences that would distract us from God and lead us to sin. And then, she wants us to cry out to the Heavenly Father, for Him to fill us with the Holy Spirit! “Father, send us your Holy Spirit!” She tells us, “Through the Holy Spirit you will become a spring of God’s love!” Of ourselves, we do not have much love to give. We are weak and vulnerable. But when the Holy Spirit fills us we become channels of God’s love, the most powerful love in the universe!! She says: “All those who do not know my Son, all those thirsting for the love and peace of my Son, will drink from this spring.” Imagine if we all became springs of living water, springs of the flowing love of God to all we meet!! Imagine how the world would change!! Mother, help us to cry out to the Heavenly Father to be illuminated by the Holy Spirit so that we can become springs of living water, the Love of God! The Paraclete, the Fount of Love (A prayer by St. John Henry Newman) My God, I adore You, as the Third Person of the Ever-Blessed Trinity, under the name and designation of Love. You are that Living Love, wherewith the Father and the Son love each other. And You are the Author of supernatural love in our hearts. “Fons vivus, ignis, charitas.” (Fount of life, fire and love.) As a fire You came down from heaven on the day of Pentecost; and as a fire You burn away the dross of sin and vanity in the heart and light up the pure flame of devotion and affection. It is You who unite heaven and earth by showing to us the glory and beauty of the Divine Nature, and making us love what is in Itself so winning and transporting. I adore You, O uncreate and everlasting Fire, by which our souls live, by which alone they are made fit for heaven. Amen The Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit: O Lord Jesus Christ, Who, before ascending into heaven, didst promise to send the Holy Ghost to finish Thy work in the souls of Thy Apostles and Disciples, deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to me, that He may perfect in my soul the work of Thy grace and Thy love. Grant me: the Spirit of Wisdom that I may despise the perishable things of this world and aspire only after the things that are eternal, the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten my mind with the light of Thy divine truth, the Spirit of Counsel that I may ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining Heaven, the Spirit of Fortitude that I may bear my cross with Thee, and that I may overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation, the Spirit of Knowledge that I may know God and know myself and grow perfect in the science of the Saints, the Spirit of Piety that I may find the service of God sweet and amiable, the Spirit of Fear that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards God, and may dread in any way to displease Him. Mark me, dear Lord, with the sign of Thy true disciples and animate me in all things with Thy Spirit. Amen. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2023        

May 21, 2023 Reflection – Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 3

  Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 3   May 21, 2023 Seventh Sunday of Easter (Feast of the Ascension in some diocese)Dear Family of Mary!This is Day 3 the Novena to the Holy Spirit. It will consist of a message from Our Lady of Medjugorje, a prayer written by St. John Henry Newman, and the Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit. We can all include our own petitions! Let’s expect great things on Pentecost! Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 3 April 25, 2015 “Dear children! I am with you also today to lead you to salvation. Your soul is restless because your spirit is weak and tired from all worldly things. You, little children, pray to the Holy Spirit that He may transform you and fill you with His strength of faith and hope, so that you may be firm in this battle against evil. I am with you and intercede for you before my Son Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In this message, Our Lady recognizes that our souls can become restless and our spirits weak and tired due to the stresses and concerns of the world. Many of those stresses are due to the activity of the evil one. Fighting him, we must cling to our hope as the answer to all his lies and temptations. Our hope will sustain us in good and in prayer. Through hope, we await the deliverance of the Lord, joyfully! In the Catechism of the Catholic Church it says: 1817 Hope is the theological virtue by which we desire the kingdom of heaven and eternal life as our happiness, placing our trust in Christ’s promises and relying not on our own strength, but on the help of the grace of the Holy Spirit. “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.” “The Holy Spirit . . . he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life.” Thank you, dearest Mother, for giving us your hope, the hope that comes from Heaven in your heart! Through your hope and the power of the Holy Spirit we will grow in hope, and win every battle! The Paraclete, the Fount of Love (A prayer by St. John Henry Newman) My God, I adore You, as the Third Person of the Ever-Blessed Trinity, under the name and designation of Love. You are that Living Love, wherewith the Father and the Son love each other. And You are the Author of supernatural love in our hearts. “Fons vivus, ignis, charitas.” As a fire You came down from heaven on the day of Pentecost; and as a fire You burn away the dross of sin and vanity in the heart and light up the pure flame of devotion and affection. It is You who unite heaven and earth by showing to us the glory and beauty of the Divine Nature, and making us love what is in Itself so winning and transporting. I adore You, O uncreated and everlasting Fire, by which our souls live, by which alone they are made fit for heaven. Amen The Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit: O Lord Jesus Christ, Who, before ascending into heaven, didst promise to send the Holy Ghost to finish Thy work in the souls of Thy Apostles and Disciples, deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to me, that He may perfect in my soul the work of Thy grace and Thy love.

Mark me, dear Lord, with the sign of Thy true disciples and animate me in all things with Thy Spirit. Amen. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2023  

May 20, 2023 Reflection – Novena to the Holy Spirit Day 2

Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 2 May 20, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! This is Day 2 the Novena to the Holy Spirit. It will consist of a message from Our Lady of Medjugorje, a prayer written by St. John Henry Newman, and the prayer for the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit. We can all include our own petitions! Let’s expect great things on Pentecost! Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 2 September 25, 2015 “Dear children! Also today I am praying to the Holy Spirit to fill your hearts with a strong faith. Prayer and faith will fill your heart with love and joy and you will be a sign for those who are far from God. Little children, encourage each other to prayer with the heart, so that prayer may fulfill your life; and each day, you, little children, will be, above all, witnesses of serving God in adoration and of your neighbor in need. I am with you and intercede for all of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” The Gift and Virtue of Faith is really the foundation for all the other virtues. When we receive the Holy Spirit we begin to really believe in Jesus, and through Him discover the Father! Then the door opens to the real world, the world of life with God for eternity. Everything we have misunderstood in our lives becomes clear and comprehensible. We see that we are creatures of a loving God. We see that life makes sense in terms of the commandments. And we begin the journey towards love and joy! In prayer, we must daily ask the Holy Spirit to come and fill us with His light, so that our faith will continue to grow and our understanding of the Truth and the Good will strengthen. Then we too can help our neighbors to believe!! Thank you, dearest Mother for coming to help us receive the Holy Spirit and in Him, the gift of Faith! The Paraclete, the Fount of Love (A prayer by St. John Henry Newman) My God, I adore You, as the Third Person of the Ever-Blessed Trinity, under the name and designation of Love.

May 19, 2023 Reflection – Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 1

Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 1   May 19, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Today we begin the Novena to the Holy Spirit. It will consist of a message from Our Lady of Medjugorje, a prayer written by St. John Henry Newman, and The Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit! We can all include our own petitions as well! Let’s expect great things on Pentecost! Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 1 May 25, 1993 ″Dear children! Today I invite you to open yourselves to God by means of prayer so the Holy Spirit may begin to work miracles in you and through you. I am with you and I intercede before God for each one of you because, dear children, each one of you is important in my plan of salvation. I invite you to be carriers of good and peace. God can give you peace only if you convert and pray. Therefore, my dear little children, pray, pray, pray and do that which the Holy Spirit inspires you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” We see in this message that Our Lady has from the early days desired that we open our hearts to the Holy Spirit, and live in constant communication with Him. She tells us that she expects us to receive the Holy Spirit and then allow Him to work miracles through us! Isn’t this exactly what the Apostles and Disciples of Jesus did, after the Ascension? They received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and immediately went out and preached the Good News while performing miracles. They were carriers of good and peace, and conversions abounded. May we learn to pray, pray, pray and do that which the Holy Spirit inspires us to do! The Paraclete, the Fount of Love (A prayer by St. John Henry Newman) My God, I adore You, as the Third Person of the Ever-Blessed Trinity, under the name and designation of Love. You are that Living Love, wherewith the Father and the Son love each other. And You are the Author of supernatural love in our hearts. “Fons vivus, ignis, caritas.” (Living spring, fire, charity) As a fire You came down from heaven on the day of Pentecost; and as a fire You burn away the dross of sin and vanity in the heart and light up the pure flame of devotion and affection. It is You who unite heaven and earth by showing to us the glory and beauty of the Divine Nature, and making us love what is in Itself so winning and transporting. I adore You, O uncreated and everlasting Fire, by which our souls live, by which alone they are made fit for heaven. Amen The Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit: O Lord Jesus Christ, Who, before ascending into heaven, didst promise to send the Holy Spirit to finish Thy work in the souls of Thy Apostles and Disciples, deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to me, that He may perfect in my soul the work of Thy grace and Thy love.

Mark me, dear Lord, with the sign of Thy true disciples and animate me in all things with Thy Spirit. Amen. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2023  

May 18, 2023 Reflection – The Ascension of the Lord

The Ascension of the Lord!   May 18, 2023 The Ascension of the Lord Dear Family of Mary! The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them. When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted. Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” (Mt 28: 16-20) Imagine watching Jesus, your Savior, whom you had just received back from the dead, leaving you once again. Jesus, who died such a terrible death had risen. You were filled with incredible joy. But not long after this, Jesus again left you. He gave you the promise of the Holy Spirit and then rose into the sky being swallowed up by the vast expanse. Your Jesus, your Savior, your Redeemer, your Friend, was now gone again. How could this be borne? Only with the promise He gave as He rose. “And Behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” Our Lady has come from Heaven in these days to gather us together and guide us back to Jesus and Heaven. She will never stop calling us to follow her to eternity with her Son. May these messages awaken in our hearts a deep desire for heaven, a desire like that of the Apostles and disciples at the Ascension: 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.” July 25, 2000 “Dear children! Do not forget that you are here on earth on the way to eternity and that your home is in Heaven. That is why, little children, be open to God’s love and leave egoism and sin. May your joy be only in discovering God in daily prayer. That is why, make good use of this time and pray, pray, pray; and God is near to you in prayer and through prayer. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May 25, 2018 “Dear children! In this peaceless time, I am calling you to have more trust in God who is your Father in Heaven and who has sent me to lead you to Him. You, open your hearts to the gifts which He desires to give you and, in the silence of your heart, Adore my Son Jesus who has given His life so that you may live in eternity – where He desires to lead you. May your hope be the joy of a meeting with the Most High in everyday life. Therefore, I am calling you: do not neglect prayer because prayer works miracles. Thank you for having responded to my call.” January 25, 2021 “Dear children! I am calling you at this time to prayer, fasting and renunciation, that you may be stronger in faith. This is a time of awakening and of giving birth. As nature, which gives itself, you also, little children, ponder how much you have received. Be joyful bearers of peace and love that it may be good for you on earth. 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.” Mother, lead us to your Son, to eternity with Him in Heaven! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV

May 17, 2023 Reflection – The Spirit of Truth

The Spirit of Truth   May 17, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Jesus said to his disciples: ” I have much to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth.” (John 1612-13) Before the disciples had received the Holy Spirit, they did not have the fullness of Truth. It was the Holy Spirit who would infuse them with His Truth, the Truth about God and His love for us! We see the incredible change that took place in the Twelve after Pentecost! They were fearless and they had the truth within! Their witness was filled with power and truth. Our Lady has come in our day to help us to become witnesses in Truth as well. She has led us forward into the life of faith, the life of the Spirit. But we must cooperate, we must decide to live under her direction and care. Here is a message to ponder today: March 18, 2015 (Mirjana) “Dear children! With a full heart I am asking you, I am imploring you children: cleanse your hearts of sin and lift them up to God and to eternal life. I am imploring you: be vigilant and open for truth. Do not permit for all that is of this earth to distance you from the true cognition [understanding] of the contentment in the communion with my Son. I am leading you on the way of true wisdom, because only with true wisdom can you come to know true peace and the true good. Do not waste time asking for signs of the Heavenly Father, because He has already given you the greatest sign, which is my Son. Therefore, my children, pray so that the Holy Spirit can lead you into truth, can help you to come to know it, and through that knowledge of the truth that you may be one with the Heavenly Father and with my Son. That is the cognition [understanding] which gives happiness on earth and opens the door of eternal life and infinite love. Thank you.” We need the Truth. It is the bedrock upon which we can build our lives. Our societies need the Truth which comes from God. Let us pray for the Holy Spirit to fill us with deep understanding of the Truth which is God Himself! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV        

May 16, 2023 Reflection – The Advocate!

The Advocate   May 16, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Jesus said to his disciples: “Now I am going to the one who sent me, and not one of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ But because I told you this, grief has filled your hearts. But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go. For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes he will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and condemnation: sin, because they do not believe in me; righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me; condemnation, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.” (John 16:5-11) Jesus spoke so kindly and yet bluntly to the disciples about His departure. He knew that they needed to be prepared for his brutal death. He was giving them a way to see beyond the Crucifixion to the future that His Death was providing for them. It was not easy to explain. He first told them that they were not listening to everything He was saying. “Now I am going to the one who sent me…” This should have been good news for them! But they just didn’t see it. All they could think about was that Jesus was leaving them. They were stuck in the present. They knew how much they depended on Jesus for everything. What would they do without Him? So then Jesus told them: “But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go. For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.” This incredible news was actually earth shaking!! If the disciples had known the power of the Holy Spirit, they would have rejoiced!! Actually the Holy Spirit has changed the world. In every age since Jesus’ Death and Resurrection, the Holy Spirit has built and rebuilt the Church, filling the world with the Light of Christ, and saving millions of souls through the life-giving proclamation of the Good News that Jesus Christ is Lord! The Holy Spirit changes everything when He comes. That is what Jesus was trying to get across to the disciples. But until you experience the Holy Spirit, you just don’t get it!! Our Lady has very often called us to seek the coming of the Holy Spirit. She knows the Holy Spirit better than any other human being. She knows He incredible love and strength and healing power. Here is one message: May 25, 1998 “Dear children! Today I call you, through prayer and sacrifice, to prepare yourselves for the coming of the Holy Spirit. Little children, this is a time of grace and so, again, I call you to decide for God the Creator. Allow Him to transform and change you. May your heart be prepared to listen to, and live, everything which the Holy Spirit has in His plan for each of you. Little children, allow the Holy Spirit to lead you on the way of truth and salvation towards eternal life. Thank you for having responded to my call.” This message could have been spoken to the disciples in the Upper Room. Our Lady prepared them for the coming of the Holy Spirit, and she can prepare us! Let’s listen to her words and do them! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV  

May 12, 2023 Reflection – Love one another…

  Love one another…   May 12, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Jesus said to his disciples: “This is my commandment; love one another as I love you.” (John 15:12) September 2, 2015 “Dear children, My dear apostles of love, my carriers of truth, again I am calling you and gathering you around me to help me, to help all of my children who thirst for love and truth – who thirst for my Son. I am a grace from the Heavenly Father, sent to help you to live the word of my Son. Love one another. I lived your earthly life. I know that it is not always easy, but if you will love each other, you will pray with the heart, you will reach spiritual heights and the way to heaven will be opened for you. I, your mother, am waiting for you there because I am there. Be faithful to my Son and teach others faithfulness. I am with you. I will help you. I will teach you faith that you may know how to transmit it to others in the right way. I will teach you truth that you may know how to discern. I will teach you love that you may come to know what real love is… My children, my Son will make it so as to speak through your words and your actions. Thank you.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV

May 11, 2023 Reflection – The Advocate – the Spirit of Truth

The Advocate, the Spirit of Truth   May 11, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Our Gospel today begins this way: Jesus said to his disciples: “When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me. And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning…(John 15:26-27) Jesus knows that He ascends to the Father, there will break out a vicious war to stop His disciples. He knows this because He knows His enemy, the Devil. There is no way that the Devil will allow the Good News of Jesus to be spread, without a fight. This is the undoing of all his plans. And so Jesus prepared His Apostles and Disciples for that fight. The first preparation for His followers was to recognize the Holy Spirit and receive Him. The Holy Spirit would be able to guide them through all their confrontations with the enemy, and to give them power from on high. It is no different today. We must receive the Holy Spirit in order to grow in holiness and to stand in the battle for souls. Our Lady has spoken very often about the Holy Spirit. Here are five messages that we can pray over maybe during our rosaries. November 8, 1984 “Dear children! You are not conscious of the messages which God is sending you through me. He is giving you great graces and you do not comprehend them. Pray to the Holy Spirit for enlightenment. If you only knew how great are the graces God is granting you, you would be praying without ceasing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” April 17, 1986 “Dear children! You are absorbed with material things, but in the material you lose everything that God wishes to give you… I call you, dear children, to pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit which are necessary for you now in order to be able to give witness to my presence here and to all that I am giving you. Dear children, let go to me so I can lead you completely. Don’t be absorbed with material things. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May 25, 1993 “Dear children! Today I invite you to open yourselves to God by means of prayer so the Holy Spirit may begin to work miracles in you and through you. I am with you and I intercede before God for each one of you because, dear children, each one of you is important in my plan of salvation. I invite you to be carriers of good and peace. God can give you peace only if you convert and pray. Therefore, my dear little children, pray, pray, pray and do that which the Holy Spirit inspires you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May 25, 1998 “Dear children! Today I call you, through prayer and sacrifice, to prepare yourselves for the coming of the Holy Spirit. Little children, this is a time of grace and so, again, I call you to decide for God the Creator. Allow Him to transform and change you. May your heart be prepared to listen to, and live, everything which the Holy Spirit has in His plan for each of you. Little children, allow the Holy Spirit to lead you on the way of truth and salvation towards eternal life. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May 25, 2000 “Dear children! I rejoice with you and in this time of grace I call you to spiritual renewal. Pray, little children, that the Holy Spirit may come to dwell in you in fullness, so that you may be able to witness in joy to all those who are far from faith. Especially, little children, pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit so that in the spirit of love, every day and in each situation, you may be closer to your fellow-man; and that in wisdom and love you may overcome every difficulty. I am with you and I intercede for each of you before Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Come Holy Spirit!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV
