Do good! January 18, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! The Gospel for today is so frustrating. How could the Pharisees be so blind? So clueless? Jesus did a miracle for the man with the withered hand. But they couldn’t see it: “Jesus entered the synagogue. There was a man there who had a withered hand. They watched Jesus closely to see if he would cure him on the sabbath so that they might accuse him. He said to the man with the withered hand, “Come up here before us.” Then he said to the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?” But they remained silent. Looking around at them with anger and grieved at their hardness of heart, Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him to put him to death.” Mark 3:1-6 Jesus was stealing their thunder. And they wanted to hang on to their power and prestige at any cost. It is easy to get mad at the Pharisees. But we all need to watch out for this kind of blindness. Not seeing the good that others do. And not doing the good that we could be doing, which is even worse! Our Lady calls us to “do good!” Do the good for others. Be part of the solution in this world of troubles. It isn’t complicated. Just do good! Here are five more messages for the rosary! Our Lady’s words are such a help for us in our lives of faith!! We can learn to love and to do the good! November 25, 1995 “Dear Children! Today I invite you that each of you begin again to love, in the first place, God who saved and redeemed each of you, and then brothers and sisters in your proximity. Without love, little children, you cannot grow in holiness and cannot do good deeds. Therefore, little children, pray without ceasing that God reveals His love to you. I have invited all of you to unite yourselves with me and to love. Today I am with you and invite you to discover love in your hearts and in the families. For God to live in your hearts, you must love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” November 25, 1996 “Dear children! Today, again, I invite you to pray, so that through prayer, fasting and small sacrifices you may prepare yourselves for the coming of Jesus. May this time, little children, be a time of grace for you. Use every moment and do good, for only in this way will you feel the birth of Jesus in your hearts. If with your life you give an example and become a sign of God’s love, joy will prevail in the hearts of men. Thank you for having responded to my call.” April 25, 2008 “Dear children! Also today, I call all of you to grow in God’s love as a flower which feels the warm rays of spring. In this way, also you, little children, grow in God’s love and carry it to all those who are far from God. Seek God’s will and do good to those whom God has put on your way, and be light and joy. Thank you for having responded to my call.” September 25, 2022 “Dear children! Pray that the Holy Spirit may enlighten you that you be joyful seekers of God and witnesses of love without bounds. I am with you, little children, and, anew, I am calling all of you: take courage and bear witness to the good works that God is doing in and through you. Be joyful in God. Do good to your neighbor so that it will be good for you on earth and pray for peace, which is threatened because Satan wants war and peacelessness. Thank you for having responded to my call.” March 18, 2001 “Dear children! Today I call you to love and mercy. Give love to each other as your Father gives it to you. Be merciful (pause) – with the heart… Do good works, not permitting them to wait for you too long. Every mercy that comes from the heart brings you closer to my Son.” May we do good works, not permitting them to wait for us too long! Such a wonderful mother we have!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

The one who prays is not afraid of the future…   January 17, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! I have a job for us today. We are going to pray a Rosary in which we listen to Our Lady speak to us about our fears and about God’s peace. I have 5 messages in which Our Lady helps us to reject fear and embrace peace. We can read one before each decade and let her words form us. We need to become her children of peace!! The Agony in the Garden: June 25, 2000 “Dear children! Today I call you to prayer. The one who prays is not afraid of the future. Little children do not forget, I am with you and I love you all. Thank you for having responded to my call.” The Scourging at the Pillar: January 25, 2001 “Dear children! Today I call you to renew prayer and fasting with even greater enthusiasm until prayer becomes a joy for you. Little children, the one who prays is not afraid of the future and the one who fasts is not afraid of evil. Once again, I repeat to you: only through prayer and fasting also wars can be stopped – wars of your unbelief and fear for the future. I am with you and am teaching you little children: your peace and hope are in God. That is why draw closer to God and put Him in the first place in your life. Thank you for having responded to my call.” The Crowning with Thorns: March 25, 2021 “Dear children! Also, today I am with you to tell you: Little children, he who prays does not fear the future and does not lose hope. You are chosen to carry joy and peace, because you are mine. I have come here with the name ‘Queen of Peace’ because the devil wants peacelessness and war, he wants to fill your heart with fear of the future – but the future is God’s. That is why, be humble and pray, and surrender everything into the hands of the Most High Who created you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” The Carrying of the Cross: October 25, 2021 “Dear children! Return to prayer because who prays is not afraid of the future; who prays is open to life and respects the life of others; who prays, little children, feels the freedom of the children of God and in joy of heart serves for the good for his brother-man. Because God is love and freedom, therefore, little children, when they want to put you in bonds and to use you, it is not from God. Because God loves and gives His peace to every creature; and that is why He sent me to you to help you to grow in holiness. Thank you for having responded to my call.” The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus: December 2, 2011 “Dear children; As a mother I am with you so that with my love, prayer and example I may help you to become a seed of the future, a seed that will grow into a firm tree and spread its branches throughout the world. For you to become a seed of the future, a seed of love, implore the Father to forgive you your omissions up to now. My children, only a pure heart, unburdened by sin, can open itself and only honest eyes can see the way by which I desire to lead you. When you become aware of this, you will become aware of the love of God, it will be given (as a gift) to you. Then you will give it (as a gift) to others as a seed of love. Thank you.” Thank you, Mother, for teaching us about Peace, the true Peace that comes from your Son. May we embrace it and live it today and every day in our future. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

With a Rosary in hand…   January 16, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! As we move into Ordinary Time, we hear the stories of the public life of Jesus. We hear how He healed the sick, gave sight to the blind, even raised the dead in town after town. Jesus carried the Light of His Love to those in need. But now, He needs us to carry Him to those in need. We need to carry Jesus within us, in our hearts to all those we meet. He relies on us. How else will He be able to reach out to the broken ones of our day? Our Lady says to us: March 2, 2012  “Dear children; Through the immeasurable love of God I am coming among you and I am persistently calling you into the arms of my Son. With a motherly heart I am imploring you, my children, but I am also repeatedly warning you, that concern for those who have not come to know my Son be in the first place for you. Do not permit that by looking at you and your life, they are not overcome by a desire to come to know Him. Pray to the Holy Spirit for my Son to be impressed within you. Pray that you can be apostles of the divine light in this time of darkness and hopelessness. This is a time of your trial. With a rosary in hand and love in the heart set out with me. I am leading you towards Easter in my Son. Pray for those whom my Son has chosen that they can always live through Him and in Him, the High Priest. Thank you.” Our Lady calls us to be her apostles, apostles of the Divine Light! Jesus is the Divine Light!! She needs us to carry the light of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, to others who are still in darkness. We don’t need a master’s degree in theology to do this. We only need our Rosary in hand and love in our heart. God will guide us, and we will see miracles. Let’s be those apostles of Divine Light! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023

Let’s open up the roof! January 13, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Today’s Gospel reading is one of my favorites! Jesus comes home to Capernaum, after ministering elsewhere, and the people stampede the house to get close to Him. Impossible to meet Jesus? Not if you have resourceful friends!! Mark2:1-12 When Jesus returned to Capernaum after some days, it became known that he was at home. Many gathered together so that there was no longer room for them, not even around the door, and he preached the word to them. They came bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. Unable to get near Jesus because of the crowd, they opened up the roof above him. After they had broken through, they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to him, “Child, your sins are forgiven.” Now some of the scribes were sitting there asking themselves, “Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming. Who but God alone can forgive sins?” Jesus immediately knew in his mind what they were thinking to themselves, so he said, “Why are you thinking such things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, pick up your mat and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth”—he said to the paralytic, “I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home.” He rose, picked up his mat at once, and went away in the sight of everyone. They were all astounded and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this.” We marvel at the courage of the four men who carried their friend up on to the roof, opened up the roof, and then lowered him down in the midst of the house! And I rejoice at the grace made available to the paralytic! But for me it is a deep reminder that I need to work much harder at getting close to Jesus. In fact, I probably need someone to do the work for me, just like the paralytic did!! Our Lady is very much like those four men who carried the paralytic to Jesus. She carries each of us to Jesus, but she needs our cooperation. Here are two messages in which she asks us to allow her to take us to Jesus: May 25, 1992 “Dear children! Today also I invite you to prayer, so that through prayer you come still nearer to God. I am with you and I desire to lead you on the path to salvation that Jesus gives you. From day to day, I am nearer to you although you are not aware of it and you do not want to admit that you are only linked to me in a small way with your few prayers. When trials and problems arise, you say, ‘O God! O Mother! Where are you?’ As for me, I only wait for your ‘Yes’ to present to Jesus for Him to fill you with His grace. That is why, once more, please accept my call and start to pray in a new way until prayer becomes joy to you. Then you will discover that God is all-powerful in your daily life. I am with you and I am waiting for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” January 25, 1988 “Dear children! Today again I am calling you to complete conversion, which is difficult for those who have not chosen God. God can give you everything that you seek from Him. But you seek God only when sicknesses, problems and difficulties come to you and you think that God is far from you and is not listening and does not hear your prayers. No, dear children, that is not the truth. When you are far from God, you cannot receive graces because you do not seek them with a firm faith. Day by day, I am praying for you, and I want to draw you ever more near to God, but I cannot if you don’t want it. Therefore, dear children put your life in God’s hands. I bless you all. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Mother, we want you to bring me to your Son. Please help me to be as dependent upon you as that paralytic was to the four men who carried him to Jesus. I want to allow you to show me the way to Jesus, and even to carry me there! I need your Son! I need healing! I need you to help me!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023

Your refuge will be the Heart of my Son, Jesus!   January 12, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Today I present to you five messages from Our Lady of Medjugorje. In each message Our Lady recognizes that we need a place of safety, a refuge in these evil days. We all feel the danger around us. We probably have different ways of coping with it. But Our Lady makes it clear that she has been sent to help us find refuge. And she guides us to that safety, that refuge in her messages. May we take time today to pray over these five messages. Use them as meditations between the decades of your Rosaries. Let them sink in. Our Lady’s words are inspired by the Holy Spirit. They are fruitful when we take them to prayer: January 25, 2012 “Dear children! With joy, also today I call you to open your hearts and to listen to my call. Anew, I desire to draw you closer to my Immaculate Heart, where you will find refuge and peace. Open yourselves to prayer, until it becomes a joy for you. Through prayer, the Most High will give you an abundance of grace and you will become my extended hands in this restless world which longs for peace. Little children, with your lives witness faith and pray that faith may grow day by day in your hearts. I am with you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” July 25, 2018 “Dear children! God called me to lead you to Him because He is your strength. That is why I am calling you to pray to Him and to trust in Him, because He is your refuge from every evil that lurks and carries souls far from the grace and joy to which you are all called. Little children, live Heaven here on earth so that it will be good for you; and may the commandments of God be a light on your way. I am with you and I love you all with my motherly love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” July 25, 2019 “Dear children! My call for you is prayer. May prayer be a joy for you and a wreath which binds you to God. Little children, trials will come and you will not be strong, and sin will reign but, if you are mine, you will win, because your refuge will be the Heart of my Son Jesus. Therefore, little children, return to prayer until prayer becomes life for you in the day and the night. 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.” 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 Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Franjo Zubac has been witness to Jesus and Mary since the beginning of the apparitions! We are all called to witness!!   January 11, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8, RSV-CE) As I prayed about what to share today, I just heard the word, “witness”! I looked in Our Lady’s messages and discovered that she has mentioned witnessing at least 141 times. Jesus told his disciples that they would be His witnesses “to the end of the earth!” Our Lady realizes that the only way to help others to meet Jesus is for us to witness to them all that Jesus has done for us! We have received the love and forgiveness of Jesus, and so we must share it with others who need it just like we do. Who else will tell them? Here is a beautiful message from Our Lady about witnessing: September 25, 2011 “Dear children! I call you, for this time to be for all of you, a time of witnessing. You, who live in the love of God and have experienced His gifts, witness them with your words and life that they may be for the joy and encouragement to others in faith. I am with you and incessantly intercede before God for all of you that your faith may always be alive and joyful, and in the love of God. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Jesus called his disciples to witness to everyone, even to the ends of the earth! He needs us to do the same in our day. He has sent Our Lady to draw us close to Him, and we have received so much grace!! Now it is time for us to witness as the early disciples did. Let’s shout it to the roof tops! Jesus and Mary are with us, loving us, healing us, guiding us, and blessing us!! Mary TV has been able to film over 500 testimonies which we have compiled in the “Fruit of Medjugorje” archive on the Mary TV website. Just sharing these testimonies with others is one good way to witness! They can be viewed at this link: https://marytv.tv/fruit-of-medjugorje/ “You, who live in the love of God and have experienced His gifts, witness them with your words and life that they may be for the joy and encouragement to others in faith.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Listen to me!   January 10, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! As we begin Ordinary Time in this Liturgical Year, I believe that Our Lady is calling to us, “Listen to me!” She wants to lead us into the future. She had been sent by God to be our Champion General! Let’s pray over her words every day! Let’s listen to her call, to her messages with new and open ears! Today, let’s pray over her message from October 2, 2018: “Dear children, I am calling you to be courageous and to not grow weary, because even the smallest good – the smallest sign of love – conquers evil which is all the more visible. My children, listen to me so that good may overcome, so that you may come to know the love of my Son. This is the greatest happiness – the hands of my Son that embrace, of Him who loves the soul, of Him who has given Himself for you and is always giving Himself anew in the Eucharist, of Him who has the words of eternal life. To come to know His love, to follow in His footsteps, means to have a wealth of spirituality. This is the wealth which gives good feelings and sees love and goodness everywhere. Apostles of my love, my children, be like the rays of the sun which with the warmth of my Son’s love warm everyone around them. My children, the world needs apostles of love; the world needs much prayer, but prayer spoken with the heart and the soul and not only pronounced with the lips. My children, long for holiness but in humility, in the humility which permits my Son to do that which He desires through you. My children, your prayers, your words, thoughts and actions – all of this either opens or closes the doors to the Kingdom of Heaven for you. My Son showed you the way and gave you hope, and I am consoling and encouraging you because, my children, I had come to know pain, but I had faith and hope. Now I have the reward of life in the Kingdom of my Son. Therefore, listen to me, have courage and do not grow weary. Thank you.” (10/2/2018) In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023

The Baptism of the Lord!   January 9, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Today we remember how Jesus humbled himself to be baptized by His cousin, John the Baptist. This was a gesture of repentance and cleansing. Jesus did not need either one. But He chose to be baptized by John, in order to show us the way home to the Father. Only through repentance which is the turning away from sin, and cleansing which is the action of God the Father, as He forgives us, can we be brought to eternal life. Jesus leads us into that basic relationship with His Father by His example. So much love!! So much humility and service! Matthew wrote: Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. John tried to prevent him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and yet you are coming to me?” Jesus said to him in reply, “Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed him. After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”  (Mt 3:13-17) Jesus shows us the way to the Father. If we follow Him, stay close to Him, imitate Him, and give Him permission to guide us, we will discover the wonder of the Father’s love! Our Lady is with us to help us to discover and choose that same relationship with the Father, by helping us to encounter her Son in prayer. She speaks to us about our baptism and how we should recognize the great gift we have been given in Baptism. Here are two message that show us the way: March 25, 2018 “Dear children! I am calling you to be with me in prayer in this time of grace when darkness is fighting against the light. Pray, little children, confess and begin a new life in grace. Decide for God and He will lead you towards holiness; and the cross will be a sign of victory and hope for you. Be proud that you are baptized and grateful in your heart that you are a part of God’s plan. Thank you for having responded to my call.” December 25, 2011 “Dear children! Also today, in my arms I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, for Him to give you His peace. Pray, little children, and witness so that in every heart, not human but God’s peace may prevail, which no one can destroy. It is that peace in the heart which God gives to those whom He loves. By your baptism you are all, in a special way called and loved, therefore witness and pray that you may be my extended hands to this world which yearns for God and peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” We, the Baptized, have been given everything! We are priest, prophet and king! We are called and loved, and we are part of God’s plan. If we stay close to Jesus, He will lead us in that plan for the salvation of many! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023

We are all Magi following the Star!   January 6, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! On Sunday, January 8, we will celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord, when the Magi followed a star to Bethlehem and discovered Jesus! Our Gospel for this Sunday: When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage.” When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Assembling all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet: And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; since from you shall come a ruler, who is to shepherd my people Israel.” Then Herod called the magi secretly and ascertained from them the time of the star’s appearance. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search diligently for the child. When you have found him, bring me word, that I too may go and do him homage.” After their audience with the king they set out. And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was. They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way.  (Mt 2:1-12) Each one of us has been personally led to Bethlehem by the Father, where we discover His Son, the King of the Jews, and our King. We each have seen a star. It may not be a physical star, but it is indeed a light that fills our hearts and minds with hope and peace, and leads us to Jesus. We are so blessed to have found Him! Nothing is more important than finding Jesus. But once we have found Jesus, we must become stars ourselves, stars that guide others to Bethlehem, to the Stable where Jesus awaits them with all of His love and salvation. Our Lady told us: September 25, 2014 “Dear children! Also today I call you to also be like the stars, which by their light give light and beauty to others so they may rejoice. Little children, also you be the radiance, beauty, joy and peace – and especially prayer – for all those who are far from my love and the love of my Son Jesus. Little children, witness your faith and prayer in joy, in the joy of faith that is in your hearts; and pray for peace, which is a precious gift from God. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May we become little Stars of Bethlehem, guiding others to the True Light that enlightens every man! Jesus, the Savior, Christ, Our Lord!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023

Infant Jesus, deliver us! January 5, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! We can’t leave the Christmas Season without praying together the Litany of the Infant Jesus!

Today when Jesus is born and by His birth brings immeasurable joy, love and peace, I call you, in a special way to say your ‘yes’ to Jesus. Open your hearts so that Jesus enters into them, comes to dwell in them and starts to work through you. Only in this way will you be able to comprehend the true beauty of God’s love, joy and peace. Dear children, rejoice in the birth of Jesus and pray for all those hearts that have not opened to Jesus so that Jesus may enter into each of their hearts and may start working through them, so that every person would be an example of a true person through whom God works.” LITANY OF THE INFANT JESUS Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, Christ, have mercy, Christ, have mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord, have mercy.

Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, Spare us, O Infant Jesus, Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, Graciously hear us, O Infant Jesus, Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, Have mercy on us, O Infant Jesus. Infant Jesus, hear us, Infant Jesus, graciously hear us. LET US PRAY O Lord Jesus, Who allowed the greatness of Thy incarnate divinity and most sacred humanity to be born in time, to become a little child, and to suffer bitter death, grant that we may acknowledge infinite wisdom in the silence of a child, power in weakness, majesty in abasement, so that adoring Thy humility and littleness on earth we may contemplate Thy glories in Heaven. We ask this of Thee, who, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, lives and reigns God, forever and ever. Amen. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023
