Stay with us! September 23, 2025 St. Pius of Pietrelcina Dear Family of Mary! Today is the Memorial of St. Pius of Pietrelcina! Our dear Padre Pio!! He carried in his body the wounds of the Crucified Savior for over 50 years! He suffered for us, and fought the devil every day for us. His love was so great, and his patience so powerful! But the secret to his victory over all his sufferings was his immense love for Jesus. I am at a loss to say more! He had a love for Jesus that cannot be fathomed. And that love empowered him to do great deeds in the midst of his suffering. Padre Pio wrote the prayer below, in which he begged Jesus to never leave him. Without Jesus, he would not have been able to endure even one day of his suffering. But with Jesus, all things were possible. May Padre Pio’s prayer asking Jesus to stay with him be a help for us when we feel weak and need Jesus too! Stay with me Lord! Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You. Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often. Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life, and without You, I am without fervor. Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light, and without You, I am in darkness. Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will. Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You. Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much, and always be in Your company. Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You. Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is, I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of love. Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close, and life passes; death, judgment, eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You. It is getting late and death approaches, I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile! Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all its dangers. I need You. Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart. Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You, if not by communion, at least by grace and love. Stay with me, Jesus, I do not ask for divine consolation, because I do not merit it, but the gift of Your Presence, oh yes, I ask this of You! Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more. With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen. There are times when we also ask Our Lady to stay with us! We need her so much! She gave us this message, expressing her need for us to help her, and assuring us that God had sent her to stay with us! February 25, 1995 “Dear children! Today I invite you to become missionaries of my messages, which I am giving here through this place that is dear to me. God has allowed me to stay this long with you and therefore, little children, I invite you to live with love the messages I give and to transmit them to the whole world, so that a river of love flows to people who are full of hatred and without peace. I invite you, little children, to become peace where there is no peace and light where there is darkness, so that each heart accepts the light and the way of salvation. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Jesus, stay with us!! Mother Mary, stay wih us!! Padre Pio, stay with us!!

God is light! September 22, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! St. John the Apostle knew Jesus intimately. And he wrote brilliantly about Jesus, in images that are breathtaking. Here he speaks about Jesus as the light of the world. May we allow John’s words to sink into our hearts! They give great joy! 1John.1:1-7 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life –the life was made manifest, and we saw it, and testify to it, and proclaim to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was made manifest to us –that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. And we are writing this that our joy may be complete.This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth; but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. (1Jn 1:1-7) God is light!! Jesus is light!! We need light in order to live, to work, to think, to know. Jesus is the light that makes all those things possisble. Our Lady spoke about this light, the light of God as well: December 25, 1999 (Jakov) “Dear children! Today on the birthday of my Son, when my heart is filled with immeasurable joy and love, I invite you to open fully and surrender fully to God. Throw out all the darkness from your heart and let God’s light and God’s love enter your heart and dwell there forever. Be carriers of God’s light and love to all people, so everyone, in you and through you, can feel and experience the authentic light and love that only God is able to give you. I am blessing you with my motherly blessing!” We need God’s light! It is impossible to live without it! And we need to share that light with others, so that they too can live!!! That light helps us to see all the good that God is giving to us and to recognize all the evil that the enemy sews in our minds and hearts! With that light, we can reject the enemy and his evil influence, and live completely in God’s light! We will become filled with joy!! Seek the light of God!! Seek Jesus!!

Have Trust in Me! September 19, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! The word for today is “trust”! In our world today, it is increasingly hard to put our trust in anyone or group of people. Who is to know? How can we discern? But there is one who is completely trustworthy! Our God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit! We are completely safe in God’s hands. Jesus, who became man for us, draws from our hearts complete trust! And at His side is Mother Mary, who has become our mother as well, through adoption! We can truly trust her! Here is a message in which Our Mother asks us to have trust in her. She has been sent to lead us, but her attempts will fail if we do not trust her. This call to have trust is important for us: June 2, 2015  “Dear children, I desire to work through you, my children, my apostles, so that, in the end, I may gather all my children there where everything is prepared for your happiness. I am praying for you, that through works you can convert others, because the time has come for acts of truth, for my Son. My love will work in you – I will make use of you. Have trust in me, because everything that I desire, I desire for your good, the eternal good created by the Heavenly Father. You, my children, my apostles, are living an earthly life in union with my children who have not come to know the love of my Son, who do not call me ‘mother’ – but do not be afraid to witness Truth. If you are not afraid and witness courageously, the truth will miraculously win, but remember, strength is in love. My children, love is repentance, forgiveness, prayer, sacrifice and mercy. If you will know how to love, by your works you will convert others, you will enable the light of my Son to penetrate into souls. Thank you. Pray for your shepherds. They belong to my Son. He called them. Pray that they may always have the strength and the courage to shine with the light of my Son.” Mother, we long to follow you and help you to draw your children who have not come to know the love of your Son, who do not call you ‘mother’. We trust you and love you! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan Mary TV.TV www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/  

Live your vocation in prayer.   September 18, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! January 25, 2015 “Dear children! Also today I call you: live your vocation in prayer. Now, as never before, Satan wants to suffocate man and his soul by his contagious wind of hatred and unrest. In many hearts there is no joy because there is no God or prayer. Hatred and war are growing from day to day. I am calling you, little children, begin anew, with enthusiasm, the walk of holiness and love; since I have come among you because of this. Together let us be love and forgiveness for all those who know and want to love only with a human love and not with that immeasurable love of God to which God calls you. Little children, may hope in a better tomorrow always be in your heart. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Let us live our vocation in prayer!! We are called to be love!!

Fall in love with eternal life!   September 17, 2025 St. Robert Bellarmine, St.Hildegard of Bingen Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady never stops encouraging us to conversion and a deep awareness of God! She wants us to truly understand what life is all about! We do not live in order to gather money or achievements, honors or power. All of these things are passing. We live for God and His Kingdom. That is all that really matters for us humans on earth. And yet, the alurements of the world, the desires of the flesh, and the pride of life can cover over our senses, and fool us into thinking we can make a little heaven here on earth. Those who live for these things have a rude awakening at death. Our Lady has given us many messages that warn us about the traps of the world, the flesh and the devil. She can give us the true perspective on life, if only we listen to her. Here is one such message. Let’s take it to heart! January 25, 2009  “Dear children! Also today I call you to prayer. May prayer be for you like the seed that you will put in my heart, which I will give over to my Son Jesus for you, for the salvation of your souls… I desire, little children, for each of you to fall in love with eternal life which is your future, and for all worldly things to be a help for you to draw you closer to God the Creator. I am with you for this long because you are on the wrong path. Only with my help, little children, you will open your eyes. There are many of those who, by living my messages, comprehend that they are on the way of holiness towards eternity. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Mother, please pray for us that we will fall in love with eternal life! Never stop warning us and please take us by the hand when temptation approaches and lead us to the safety of your Son, Jesus!!

Youth Festival 2025 – This little light of mine!!! “Build a new world of peace with me through prayer.”   September 16, 2025 Saints Cornelius and Cyprian Dear Family of Mary! As I sat down to write this reflection, I prayed to Our Lady to give me a word or two! I immeditely heard the words “eternal life”. I hadn’t been thinking of it. But I went ahead and did a word search in the messages, and the first instance of those two words was in the message of December 25, 1992. As I read the message it seemed to me that it was perfect! Just what we need to hear now in 2025! So here is that message. I believe it is meant for us today: December 25, 1992  “Dear children! I desire to place all of you under my mantle and protect you from all satanic attacks. Today is a day of peace, but in the whole world there is a great lack of peace. That is why I call you all to build a new world of peace with me through prayer. This I cannot do without you, and this is why I call all of you with my motherly love and God will do the rest. So, open yourselves to God’s plan and to His designs to be able to cooperate with Him for peace and for everything that is good. Do not forget that your life does not belong to you, but is a gift with which you must bring joy to others and lead them to eternal life. May the tenderness of the little Jesus always accompany you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady’s words are as true today as they were 33 years ago. In our world today there is a great lack of peace! Truly, war threatens everywhere. There is great unrest and fear between nations and even within nations. But she still says to us. “I call you all to build a new world of peace with me through prayer!” Truly it is primarily through prayer that peace will come. Please pray over this message today. How can each one of us help Our Lady to build a new world of peace through prayer? Let’s ask her to lead each of us in that prayer, so that all together we will cover the globe with prayer. As Our Lady said: “Open yourselves to God’s plan and to His designs to be able to cooperate with Him for peace and for everything that is good!!!” Don’t forget the call to pray with Our Lady when she comes in Medjugorje each day (5:40 pm Medj time)! When she comes she unites her prayer with ours. It is very powerful!! As she said: “I call you all to build a new world of peace with me through prayer!” That moment each day is when our prayer will be most powerful because Our Lady will be physically with us in prayer in Medjugorje!! Together we will make a difference! One prayer at a time, one person at a time, we can bring peace where there is war, love where there is hatred, hope where there is despair. We can cooperate with God for peace and everything that is good! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan Mary TV.TV www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/

Our Lady of Sorrows September 15, 2025 Our Lady of Sorrows Dear Family of Mary! Today is the Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows. What an honor it is for us to compassionate with Our Mother, Mary on this day together as a Church. Our Lady carried all the sufferings of her Son, throughout His earthly life and at the hour of His death. She did not run away or flinch. She joined herself to His sufferings willingly and out of love for us. She knew it was only if Jesus walked this terrible road of suffering and death, that we would be saved from our sins. And so she walked it with Him, silently and bravely bearing it all out of love for us. Here is a litany we can pray together today, to unite with the compassionate and wounded heart of our Mother.

Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.   September 11, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! The Gospel for today is one to remember. Jesus not only spoke these words but He lived them. Help us, Lord, to do the same!!! Luke 6:27 – 38 “But I say to you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. “Give to every one who begs from you; and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again. And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them. “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. “And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. “But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish. “Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. “For the measure you give will be the measure you get back.” Our Lady gave us a beautiful message that echoes Jesus’ words: 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.” Real love! This is what Jesus taught us by His life!! Mother Mary did the same! May we follow their lead, and learn “real love”!

I bring you my motherly blessing of peace. September 10, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady comes to us with her blessing of peace! She comes to us in Medjugorje as the “Queen of Peace!” She is able to give us peace, because in her purity and love of God, she radiates peace to all who encounter her. Today there is so very little peace on earth. And that is why she has come, to bring us the blessing of peace. We need peace. Our hearts yearn for peace. May her presence and her words give us peace today, and tomorrow, and always! Five messages for our Rosary today: June 25, 1997 “Dear children! Today I am with you in a special way and I bring you my motherly blessing of peace. I pray for you and I intercede for you before God, so that you may comprehend that each of you is a carrier of peace. You cannot have peace if your heart is not at peace with God. That is why, little children, pray, pray, pray, because prayer is the foundation of your peace. Open your heart and give time to God so that He will be your friend. When true friendship with God is realized, no storm can destroy it. Thank you for having responded to my call.” December 25, 2006 “Dear children! Also today I bring you the newborn Jesus in my arms. He who is the King of Heaven and earth, He is your peace. Little children, no one can give you peace as He who is the King of Peace. Therefore, adore Him in your hearts, choose Him and you will have joy in Him. He will bless you with His blessing of peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” March 25, 2011 “Dear children! In a special way today I desire to call you to conversion. As of today, may new life begin in your heart. Children, I desire to see your ‘yes’, and may your life be a joyful living of God’s will at every moment of your life. In a special way today, I bless you with my motherly blessing of peace, love and unity in my heart and in the heart of my Son Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.” December 25, 2013 “Dear children! I am carrying to you the King of Peace that He may give you His peace. You, little children, pray, pray, pray. The fruit of prayer will be seen on the faces of the people who have decided for God and His Kingdom. I, with my Son Jesus, bless you all with a blessing of 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.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan Mary TV.TV www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/
