    “Pray, pray, pray!” October 22, 2021 St. John Paul II Dear Family of Mary! I am finally back at my desk and able to write to you all! Denis and I miss Medjugorje already. But this is no time for nostalgia. A great battle is engaged between Our Lady and her adversary, the devil. It is a battle that was foretold in Genesis 3:15, when God spoke to the devil these words: “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” In these late days, that enmity is at its peak. Our Mother is leading an army against the devil in these days. And it is time that we join her in the fight! As I was praying this morning, I felt led to read Joshua 6. Joshua was leading the people after the death of Moses, and the Lord told him to destroy Jericho. Jericho was blocking the entrance to the Promised Land, and it had to be taken. The Lord told Joshua to gather the people, and with trumpeters leading them, and the Ark of the Covenant with them, they were to circle Jericho once a day for six days. Then on the seventh day they were to circle Jericho six times, with trumpets blaring, and on the seventh trip around the city, the people were to shout and make a huge noise. They did as Joshua told them, and on the seventh trip on the seventh day, the walls of Jericho came crashing down and God’s people took the city. I think that the Lord was showing me that something like this needs to take place now. We are led by Our Lady in these days. She has taught us to pray and believe. St. John Paul II is her most beloved son, and he too taught us to pray and believe. I feel that we should start a novena today, October 22, to and with St. John Paul II and Our Lady of Medjugorje, so that the enemy of our souls would be defeated in a telling battle now. The Novena, if begun today, will end on Halloween. We all know what the devil has done with Halloween. He has turned it into something very evil. But it was not always so. All Hallow’s Eve is the beginning of All Saint’s Day. It is holy. This alone shows what the battle is all about. Good and evil are locked in a battle for souls. Our Lady told us: “Dear children! Today I call you especially now to advance against satan by means of prayer. Satan wants to work still more now that you know he is at work. Dear children, put on the armor for battle and with the Rosary in your hand defeat him! Thank you for having responded to my call.”  (August 8, 1985) So I propose that we start today to pray as much as we can. In fact to pray, pray, pray! The Rosary is the kind of prayer I would say while circling a city. The Divine Mercy Chaplet is also good! We can pray these two prayers as much as possible, so that Our Lady will be supported by our prayer. She has spoken to us about praying constantly: Tuesday, June 26, 1984 “When I say pray, pray, pray, I do not want to say to only increase the number of hours of prayer, but also to reinforce the desire for prayer, and to be in contact with God. Place yourself permanently in a state of spirit bathed in prayer.” August 25, 1989 “Dear children! I call you to prayer. By means of prayer, little children, you obtain joy and peace. Through prayer you are richer in the mercy of God. Therefore, little children, let prayer be the life of each one of you. Especially I call you to pray so that all those who are far away from God may be converted. Then our hearts shall be richer because God will rule in the hearts of all men. Therefore, little children, pray, pray, pray! Let prayers begin to rule in the whole world. Thank you for having responded to my call.” September 25, 1992 “Dear children! Today again I would like to say to you that I am with you also in these troubled days during which satan wishes to destroy all that my Son Jesus and I are building. He desires especially to destroy your souls. He wants to take you away as far as possible from the Christian life and from the commandments that the Church calls you to live. Satan wishes to destroy everything that is holy in you and around you. This is why, little children, pray, pray, pray to be able to grasp all that God is giving you through my coming. Thank you for having responded to my call.” August 25, 1998 “Dear children! Today I invite you to come still closer to me through prayer. Little children, I am your mother, I love you and I desire that each of you be saved and thus be with me in Heaven. That is why, little children, pray, pray, pray until your life becomes prayer… Thank you for having responded to my call.” “Pray, pray, pray!!!!” That is the program for our Novena with Our Lady and St. John Paul II. They will pray with us, and together we will take down the Jericho of our day which is blocking our way into the holy and blessed land of the Father. Thank you, every one of you!! You are each very important in Our Lady’s plan! Let’s pray, pray, pray! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021

      Cross Mountain October 18, 2021 St. Luke Dear Family of Mary! One more email from Medjugorje!! I am sorry I can only write infrequently but I am trying to spend as much time as possible in prayer, in the presence of Jesus and Mary, while I am here!! Denis and I travel on Wednesday, the 20th. So we are cramming in as much prayer as we can. It is so wonderful! Yesterday I was able to climb Cross Mountain with Mike’s group. It was a beautiful morning, with much sun and a cool breeze. There were not too many groups on the mountain, and so we could take our time and really pray. It was such a blessing. I prayed for all of you, all you shipmates!! Thank you for being with us as we continue to follow Our Lady of Medjugorje, the Queen of Peace. Here are a couple of things Our Lady told us about Cross Mountain: Tuesday, November 3, 1981 The visionaries told us: The Virgin began the song, Come, Come to Us Lord, and we continued it with her. Then she said: “I am often at Krizevac, at the foot of the cross, to pray there. Now I pray to my Son to forgive the world its sins. The world has begun to convert.” She smiled, and then left. August 30, 1984″Dear children! The cross was also in God’s plan when you built it. These days, especially, go on the mountain and pray before the Cross. I need your prayers. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady loves the Cross on Cross Mountain. For her it is a very powerful sign of her Son’s presence in Medjugorje! I feel her close to me up there. She is with us in Medjugorje! We are so blessed to have our Queen with us in such a way. She is with us to save us! I will pray for you still as I am here, and see you when we are back in our studio in the States. Blessings! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2021

  Mary TV’s Studio, from the Daily Rosary set! October 15, 2021 St Teresa of Jesus Dear Family of Mary! Hi, everyone!! I am again just sending a quick hello! The weather in Medjugorje is brisk! The “bura” has come. This is the cold wind that bears down on Medjugorje in the winter. So the Evening Mass is back inside the church, and we pilgrims are wrapped up as best we can as we walk about. Today, Franjo will record another Jesus Rosary, and our pilgrimage group will be present. Franjo has recovered brilliantly from his surgery and is back to work! Thank you so much for your prayers!!! We need him. He is like our Papa in Medjugorje. The picture above shows you what it looks like from our set, which the boys built for us! This is where we pray the Daily Rosary with you! Those cameras a big!! Praise the Lord that we can all pray together from Medjugorje!! Denis and I have been blessed with many joyful meetings with shipmates here. We all rejoice to see one another in this holy place. And we feel immediately we are family because of our united prayer through Mary TV. It is so powerful!! We wish you were all here with us! Our Lady gave us an amazing message about her desire to gather us together here in Medjugorje. I feel her words very powerfully as I pray here: January 2, 2020 “Dear children, I know that I am present in your lives and in your hearts. I feel your love, I hear your prayers and direct them to my Son. But, my children, according to motherly love, I desire to be in the lives of all of my children. I desire to gather all of my children around me, beneath my motherly mantle. This is why I am inviting you and calling you, apostles of my love, to help me. My children, my Son pronounced the words of the ‘Our Father’- Our Father, [you] who are everywhere and in our hearts – because He desires to teach you to pray with words and feelings. He desires for you to always be better, to live merciful love which is prayer and limitless sacrifice for others. My children, give to my Son love for your neighbors, give words of consolation, compassion and acts of justice to your neighbors. Everything that you give to others, apostles of my love, my Son accepts as a gift. I am also with you, because my Son desires for my love, as a ray of light, to bring your souls to life; for me to help you in the search for peace and eternal happiness. Therefore, my children, love one another, be united through my Son, be children of God who all together, with full, open and pure heart, pronounce the ‘Our Father’. And do not be afraid! Thank you.” Isn’t this message so beautiful! Our Lady’s love is with us as a ray of light, to bring our souls to life!!! She will show us the way to peace and eternal happiness. We are so blessed!! I am praying for all of you. It is such an honor to be able to come to Medjugorje, to be with Our Mother in such a way. God bless you all!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2021  

  Our Lady’s Statue at the outside altar at St. James Church October 14, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! Hello dear shipmates! Denis and I arrived in Medjugorje on Monday evening, October 11. We had a safe and happy trip here, flying on three planes and managing all our transfers with Mike Nolan’s group. We are staying together at Toni Sego’s Pansion, and all is well!! Medjugorje is booming with pilgrims, and there is much joy to be here together with Our Lady! Though the weather has turned cold, we still have evening mass outside. The prayer is fantastic. Jesus is with us in the Blessed Sacrament and Our Lady is so present, so near, that it makes you want to weep for joy! I have one word to share with you. It is the word, “hope”! There is hope here, great hope. I realized that at home I have to work pretty hard to have hope. But here in Medjugorje, hope abounds!! It is in the air your breath. Our Mother is close and she is not leaving us now. And in her presence there is great hope. Our Lady gave us an amazing message in 2001 which is so very timely now. Let her words sink deeply in to your hearts: 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.” Please, try to live this message today. Let Our Lady fill you with her peace and her hope. She has come to guide us into the safety of the Lord Jesus’ Heart. Follow her now. She alone has the way. I will try to write again tomorrow. If I keep it short I can manage!! We are praying for all of you!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2021  

  I am with you in this place… October 8, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! On Sunday, October 10, Denis and I will begin our journey to Medjugorje! There will be about 30 of us in the pilgrimage group, led by Mike Nolan! There is no where I would rather be than Medjugorje. My life has been completely changed and blessed by Our Lady, there in Medjugorje! Our Lady has told us she is present in Medjugorje. She is with us in that place!! Her presence is what makes Medjugorje so wonderful. It is not the weather, the terrain, the food, or anything else that makes Medjugorje wonderful. It is the presence of Our Lady, the Queen of Peace. She told us exactly what she is doing in Medjugorje in this message from 2008: May 2, 2008 “Dear children! By God’s will I am here with you in this place. I desire that you open your hearts to me and to accept me as a mother. With my love I will teach you simplicity of life and richness of mercy and I will lead you to my Son. The way to Him can be difficult and painful but do not be afraid, I will be with you. My hands will hold you to the very end, to eternal happiness; therefore do not be afraid to open yourselves to me. Thank you. Pray for priests. My Son gave them to you as a gift…” Our Lady is with us in Medjugorje! She comes as our Mother. Her being “with” us has a deeper meaning than just her physical presence, although that in itself is mind-blowing! In the Bible, when God is about to act, he often announces His plans to a prophet or leader. Take Gideon for example. In the Book of Judges, chapter 6, the Angel of the Lord appears to Gideon. Listen to what he says: “Now the angel of the Lord came and sat under the oak at Ophrah, which belonged to Jo’ash the Abiezrite, as his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press, to hide it from the Mid’ianites. And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, ‘The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor.’ “ Judges 6: 11-12 The Angel announced to Gideon that “the Lord is with you…” This phrase (in Hebrew) meant that God was so near to Gideon that He eclipsed him or overshadowed him. The Lord in His power was looming over Gideon like a powerful storm or presence. This presence of the Lord meant that Gideon would be able to prevail over any enemy. The Lord’s power was sufficient for any battle. That same word is used in Luke 1:28 when the Angel told our Lady: “The Lord is with you.” It was the sense of the incredible power and strength of God that was so close to Our Lady that it eclipsed or overshadowed her. That powerful presence of God is still with Mary! The presence of God that gave us the Savior, through Mary’s yes, is still with her today as she comes to us in Medjugorje. It is the creative and life-giving power of the Holy Spirit, that comes to save and heal us. That is why I am excited to go to Medjugorje! Our Lady is with us there, by God’s will. She is there, with the Lord who overshadows her, to be our mother, to teach us simplicity of life and richness of mercy, and to lead us to her Son, Jesus! She is there to accompany us on our journey towards Heaven, holding us in her hands until the end. She is there to protect us from all fear. The Lord is with her!! And she is with us!! Thanks be to God! Alleluia!!! I will try to write to you all while I am there, but I may not be able to keep up a daily routine. So be patient with me, and know that I and Denis will be praying for you all, in the presence of our Mother! Please pray for us, and we will pray for you!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

We are facing our own Lepanto in the entire world today… October 7, 2021 Our Lady of the Rosary (Our Lady of Victory) Dear Family of Mary! On this wonderful feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, we remember the the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. Pope Pius V rallied the Christian faithful of Europe to withstand the invasion of the Turks by praying the Rosary. On October 7, 1571, there was a decisive battle at sea that destroyed the Turkish fleet, sending them limping home. Europe was saved. Pope Pius V believed it was praying the Rosary that turned the tide, through the intercession of Our Lady. He declared October 7 the Feast of the Holy Rosary. He also gave Our Lady the title “Our Lady of Victory” and referred to her as “Help of Christians”. It seems that we need to have the same confidence in Our Lady and the prayer of the Rosary in these days. We are facing our own Lepanto in the entire world today. The future hangs in the balance now even more than it did then. The entire world is locked in a battle to the death with Satan and his forces. It is a battle beyond our human strength. But the victory will come through the Rosary and Our Lady herself, as Sr. Lucia of Fatima has told us: “Look, Father, the Most Holy Virgin, in these last times in which we live, has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary. She has given this efficacy to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families, of the families of the world or of the religious communities, or even of the life of peoples and nations, that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary. With the Holy Rosary we will save ourselves. We will sanctify ourselves. We will console Our Lord and obtain the salvation of many souls. In Medjugorje our Blessed Mother gave us the same advice: August 8, 1985 “Dear children! Today I call you especially now to advance against Satan by means of prayer. Satan wants to work still more now that you know he is at work. Dear children, put on the armor for battle and with the Rosary in your hand defeat him! Thank you for having responded to my call.” We have a weapon in our hands that is more powerful than we can know. It is the Rosary! As we respond to Our Lady’s call in these days, it will be with our Rosaries in hand, and prayer in our hearts that we will move forward into the battle that God has ordained for us. It is the battle to end all battles! Our Lady of Medjugorje, pray for us! Mary, Hope of Christians, pray for us! Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary, pray for us! Mary, Our Lady of Victory, pray for us! Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2021

  Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive every one who is indebted to us… October 6, 2021 St. Bruno Dear Family of Mary! Today we have a beautiful Gospel reading which is also very challenging. It is about our relationship with the Father, especially in terms of forgiveness. Here is the Gospel: Luke 11: 1-4 He was praying in a certain place, and when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” And he said to them, “When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread; and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive every one who is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation.” Our Lady has asked us many times in her messages to forgive those who have sinned against us. She sounds just like her Son. Forgiveness is the key to human relations. Forgiveness is foundational for peace. Because we all sin, we can only recover from sin through forgiveness. There is no other road to recovery from the effects of sin. But forgiveness is like a super charger! It changes everything! Maybe we can use these five messages in our Rosary today, and let Our Lady teach us to forgive: January 25, 1996 “Dear Children! Today I invite you to decide for peace. Pray that God give you the true peace. Live peace in your hearts and you will understand, dear children, that peace is the gift of God. Dear children, without love you cannot live peace. The fruit of peace is love and the fruit of love is forgiveness. I am with you and I invite all of you, little children, that before all else forgive in the family and then you will be able to forgive others. Thank you for having responded to my call.” July 2, 2009 “Dear children! I am calling you because I need you. I need hearts ready for immeasurable love. Hearts that are not burdened by vanity. Hearts that are ready to love as my Son loved, that are ready to sacrifice themselves as my Son sacrificed Himself. I need you. In order to come with me, forgive yourselves, forgive others and adore my Son. Adore Him also for those who have not come to know Him, those who do not love Him… Therefore, I need you. Therefore, I call you. Thank you.” January 2, 2010 “Dear children, Today I am calling you to, with complete trust and love, set out with me because I desire to acquaint you with my Son. Do not be afraid, my children, I am here with you; I am next to you. I am showing you the way to forgive yourselves, to forgive others, and, with sincere repentance of heart, to kneel before the Father. Make everything die in you that hinders you from loving and saving, that you may be with Him and in Him. Decide for a new beginning, a beginning of sincere love of God Himself. Thank you.” September 2, 2010 “Dear children; I am beside you because I desire to help you to overcome trials, which this time of purification puts before you. My children, one of those is not to forgive, and not to ask for forgiveness. Every sin offends love and distances you from it and love is my Son. Therefore, my children, if you desire to walk with me towards the peace of God’s love, you must learn to forgive and to ask for forgiveness. Thank you.” February 2, 2013 “Dear children, love is bringing me to you – the love which I desire to teach you also – real love; the love which my Son showed you when He died on the Cross out of love for you; the love which is always ready to forgive and to ask for forgiveness. How great is your love? My motherly heart is sorrowful as it searches for love in your hearts. You are not ready to submit your will to God’s will out of love. You cannot help me to have those who have not come to know God’s love to come to know it, because you do not have real love. Consecrate your hearts to me and I will lead you. I will teach you to forgive, to love your enemies and to live according to my Son. Do not be afraid for yourselves. In afflictions my Son does not forget those who love. I will be beside you. I will implore the Heavenly Father for the light of eternal truth and love to illuminate you. Pray for your shepherds so that through your fasting and prayer they can lead you in love. Thank you.” Mother, teach us to forgive. Pray for us that the Holy Spirit will heal us and give us hearts that forgive! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2021

Silence is so powerful a language that it reaches the throne of the living God. St. Faustina Kowalska, pray for us October 5, 2021 St. Faustina Kowalska Dear Family of Mary! Today is the Feast Day of St. Faustina Kowalska!! As you know, the Divine Mercy Devotion that Jesus gave to St. Faustina is a daily part of our prayer at Mary TV. We go live from Medjugorje every day at 3:00 pm Medjugorje time, to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy together. Of course Our Lady is with us also! It is very powerful! And directly after our prayer together we go, live, to the Adoration Chapel in Medjugorje for a time of silent adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament! It is such a joy to pray together in this way on Mary TV with all of you shipmates from around the world! On St. Faustina’s Feast Day today, I would like to share a beautiful entry from her Diary which talks about the beauty of prayer in silence. St. Faustina spent many hours in silent Adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Let her words encourage and bless you: 887. January 19, 1937. My life at present flows on in peaceful awareness of God. My silent soul lives on Him, and this conscious life of God in my soul is for me a source of happiness and strength. I do not look for happiness outside the depths of my soul in which God dwells; of this I am aware. I feel a certain need to share myself with others. I have discovered a fountain of happiness in my soul, and it is God. O my God, I see that everything that surrounds me is filled with God, and most of all my own soul, which is adorned with the grace of God. Already now, I will begin to live on that on which I shall live for all eternity. 888. Silence is so powerful a language that it reaches the throne of the living God. Silence is His language, though secret, yet living and powerful. (Saint Faustina’s Diary, 887-888) I think it is very important to practice silence, in order to made room for God to speak to us and bless us in prayer. Silence takes practice!! We are very chatty people and we need to work at silence. Here are five messages in which Our Lady encourages us to silence! Maybe they can be our meditations for the Rosary today. We can only imagine how silent Our Lady’s interior life was! She was so available to God, to ready to listen, so filled with trust and humility! She was full of silent expectancy! May she help us to cultivate a silent soul like hers! July 25, 2006“Dear children! At this time, do not only think of rest for your body but, little children, seek time also for the soul. In silence may the Holy Spirit speak to you and permit Him to convert and change you. I am with you and before God I intercede for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May 25, 2007“Dear children! Pray with me to the Holy Spirit for Him to lead you in the search of God’s will on the way of your holiness. And you, who are far from prayer, convert and, in the silence of your heart, seek salvation for your soul and nurture it with prayer. I bless you all individually with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” July 25, 2011“Dear children! May this time be for you a time of prayer and silence. Rest your body and spirit, may they be in God’s love… Permit me, little children, to lead you, open your hearts to the Holy Spirit so that all the good that is in you may blossom and bear fruit one hundred fold. Begin and end the day with prayer with the heart. Thank you for having responded to my call.” July 25, 2016“Dear children! I am looking at you and I see you lost; and you do not have prayer or joy in your heart. Return to prayer, little children, and put God in the first place and not man. Do not lose the hope which I am carrying to you. May this time, little children, every day, be a greater seeking of God in the silence of your heart; and pray, pray, pray until prayer becomes joy for you. 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.” St. Faustina, please pray for us to grow in interior silence, so we can commune with Jesus! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV 2021

Philip Fruytiers – St. Francis of Assisi October 4, 2021 St. Francis of AssisiDear Family of Mary! Today is the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, the founder of the Franciscan Order, which serves the Parish of Medjugorje so faithfully and lovingly. Over these 40 years the Franciscans have protected Medjugorje from so many storms and troubles, most notably the war in the 1990’s. The Franciscans have stayed faithful to the people of Hercegovina and Croatia for hundreds of years, remaining with them through frightful political takeovers and troubles. They are incredibly loved by the Croatians! And we love them too! St. Francis is well known as a patron of peace. Like Our Lady, he understood that peace starts in our hearts, and only after it is well planted there can it find its way into the world. Our Lady has come to us in Medjugorje as the Queen of Peace, and peace has been one of her main messages. She calls us to “be peace!” Here are three examples: January 25, 2003 “Dear children! With this message I call you anew to pray for peace. Particularly now when peace is in crisis, you be those who pray and bear witness to peace. Little children, be peace in this peaceless world. Thank you for having responded to my call.” December 25, 2010 “Dear children! Today, I and my Son desire to give you an abundance of joy and peace so that each of you may be a joyful carrier and witness of peace and joy in the places where you live. Little children, be a blessing and be peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” December 25, 2015 “Dear children! Also today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you and from this embrace I am giving you His peace and a longing for Heaven. I am praying with you for peace and am calling you to be peace… I am blessing all of you with my motherly blessing of peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Let us pray this well known prayer for peace attributed to St. Francis. It is a cry for peace: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen. St. Francis, pray for us! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

St. Therese, pray for us! October 1, 2021 St. Therese of the Child Jesus Dear Family of Mary! “Be aware, little children, that life is short, and eternity is waiting for you to give glory to God with your being, with all the saints.” Today is the Feast of St. Therese of Lisieux, Doctor of the Church!

She challenges us all to grow in love and humility. She lived with Heaven as her goal with great constancy, especially in her suffering at the end of her life. Let’s ask brave little Therese to pray for us today, as we try to live Our Lady’s words. Life is short! Eternity is waiting for us!
