Dear children! I am calling you…. January 25, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! Here is the message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace of Medjugorje for 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.” (January 25, 2021) In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2021      

When the Church bells ring in Medjugorje… January 25, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! Today we anticipate a message from Our Lady through Marija Pavlovic Lunetti. As we wait, let’s review the words Marija spoke to the prayer group at Our Lady of the Angels Shrine in Italy on Saturday. Her words are comforting and give us an important piece of advice! Marija’s Message to the Friends of the Shrine of Our Lady of Angels in Abici, Italy Saturday, January 23, 2021 Dear Friends of the Shrine of Our Lady of Angels, I remember when for the first time I entered this small church where I could feel so much joy. And during those years, in all these years, we have stayed together, we stayed in touch. And I remember the time when you had an earthquake and difficulties, I was always trying to remain in touch with you and to help you with my prayers. I helped, I was there to listen to your intentions to Gospa, to Our Lady. And even now we have felt the need to help the group, the prayer group, that was born; especially now, when we have this lockdown, when this virus is limiting us. We can’t go out, and we try to find the way to get together, to pray together. For me, this moment is so beautiful and so special. We are united in prayer. Although we are far from each other, we are together in prayer. So many people say to me, “Marija, what are you going to say in these moments?” I would say: These are the moments for us to renew our faith, the messages of Our Lady, and not to be afraid. As one of the saints was saying, “Live as if it was the last day of your life; and to think the way you are going to live forever.” We have to try to work to do our best. Our Lady wants us to be her extended hands in this world. And, Our Lady asked from the prayer groups, she said so many times, “Be my witnesses. Pray.” Because so often, people are not witnesses. But we are invited to be witnesses. This is a beautiful, extraordinary opportunity for each one of us to be there to help one another. We are not in Medjugorje now, but God allowed us to be together, to be united in prayer in this way. So, when I pray before Our Lady, as this evening I am going to pray before Our Lady, I am going to pray for all of you, for all of your intentions. And Our Lady is going to listen to us. She is going to listen to our prayers and to our needs. But she expects from us to have faith, and to believe. I remember once when Our Lady was saying at the beginning of the apparitions, “If you do not convert, if you do not start leaving the sin behind, and if you do not set out on the journey of conversion, you will not be able to make it.” We believe that in these 40 years, that in actually in a few months, we hope and believe that we are going to celebrate a 40th Anniversary of Our Lady’s Apparitions in Medjugorje. We feel that we are responsible, that we need to witness, to give witness, and to live in our own families, in our communities, and wherever God brings us. I invite you to be united in the prayer because Lord hears our prayer. Very often, we say to ourselves, “God, where are you?” But God is in our midst. And with the presence of Our Lady, who appears still, every day – every day – let’s be united with her in that special moment; because that moment is a moment of grace. When the church bells of Medjugorje are ringing, remember, that that’s the moment: in your heart, together with Our Lady, say a prayer. And I am going to recommend all of you and all of your intentions. As Our Lady says, “Heaven is with us.” And that’s why we should not be afraid. We should not think about tragedies because everything – the Life and the Death – are in the hands of God. God loves us. And that’s why He has sent Our Lady, His Mother, and our Mother, in our midst. May God bless you all! Thank you, Marija, for your words of encouragement. We will remember the time of apparition every day from now on, and invite Our Lady into our hearts and lives! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2021    

You are chosen to be witnesses of hope! January 22, 2021 Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children Dear Family of Mary! On Monday we anticipate a message from Our Lady through Marija Pavlovic Lunetti.  I always like to take a look at the last message as I wait for the new one.  So here is the message from December 25, 2020: “Dear children! I am carrying to you little Jesus who brings you peace, Him who is the past, present and future of your existence. Little children, do not permit for your faith and hope in a better future to be extinguished, because you are chosen to be witnesses of hope in every situation. That is why I am here with Jesus that He may bless you with His peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (12/25/2020) I am struck again by Our Lady’s words, “…you are chosen to be witnesses of hope in every situation.”  Do we really see this as our job?  How can we be witnesses of hope?  Where does that certainty come from?  I think St. Paul explained it in an amazing way in his Letter to the Romans: I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God; for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. 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. 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. We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first-born among many brethren. And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified. What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him? Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies; who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, “For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.  (Romans 8:18-39) Amen, Amen and Amen!! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2021    

Archbishop Henryk Hoser address the American Pilgrims January 21, 2021 St. Agnes Dear Family of Mary! “Dear children! I am carrying to you little Jesus who brings you peace, Him who is the past, present and future of your existence. Little children, do not permit for your faith and hope in a better future to be extinguished, because you are chosen to be witnesses of hope in every situation. That is why I am here with Jesus that He may bless you with His peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (12/25/20) Today I want to share the transcript of an address that Archbishop Henryk Hoser made to the American Pilgrims, speaking from Medjugorje.  It was published by 206 Tours, and you can view the address on our website at this link: https://marytv.tv/papal-envoy/?smid=nqz0Q7sYug8&slid=3gJNYt4HsOb Archbishop Hoser said to us: Dear American pilgrims, I am addressing you from Medjugorje, from this place that you like, that you visit often during normal times. However, because of the pandemic we are all going through difficult times not only in the United States, not only in the world, but also here in Medjugorje. We suffer because of the situation of few pilgrims. We are all assigned to this health regime and we miss our mobility in the world. And here, as you know, we venerate the Holy Virgin, Queen of Peace, this peace we want to proclaim to all of you who are close and those who are far away. The time that we live in, one can compare to a very grave moment, which is noted in the Gospel. After the death of Our Lord, the world was immersed in darkness as the evangelists tell us. When Jesus Christ, Son of God, and Son of Man, who was sent by God to save us, died in human hearts, those hearts were filled with darkness, and also this world that caused the death of Jesus Christ fell into darkness. We have to be able to read what is being presented as a “sign of the time”. God, who is Master of history, who is the Master of our present life, wants us to know what the sign tells us, it is: “Without Me, you can do nothing.” So we have to attach ourselves to His presence in us, and around us, so that we can dispel darkness, so that we can go towards the Light. He brings us light, as the Canticle of Zechariah says; Today He is the sunshine [dawn]that comes from on high. Today, we are so much in need of this sunshine [this Dawn]! In my message, I will address you from here in Medjugorje, with the intelligence of the heart, about the situation in the United States. I would like to formulate a perspective: if the United States promises and projects a life that supports the development of human life and the protection of Human life in all stages of existence, the United States will be saved. If your politics push you towards the negation of the values of human life, all of that will contribute to the enlargement of a darkness that scares us all. Therefore we must all witness to the proclamation of hope in the world, the hope that comes from God, because God comes to us from the future. He is waiting for us in the time to come. He is not waiting for us any more in history. We are going towards Him. So we can live what He offers us – peace with God and peace with all men, starting with those who are close to us and moving outward to those who are far away from us. So, may this time in which we await better times, strengthen your fidelity, and give you courage to overcome the difficult moments of your life. May the Holy Virgin, Queen of Peace, bless you, protect you, and love you without limit. https://marytv.tv/papal-envoy/?smid=nqz0Q7sYug8&slid=3gJNYt4HsOb We are grateful for the pastoral care of Archbishop Hoser. May we all work towards a culture of life, from conception to natural death.  All life is sacred and worthy of our care. In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2021  

He holds you firmly by the hand… January 20, 2021 St Fabian and St. Sebastian Dear Family of Mary! “…With Jesus, every fear, suffering, and pain disappear, because your heart accepts His will and everything that comes into your life. Jesus will give you the faith to accept everything and nothing will distance you from Him — because He firmly holds you by the hand and does not permit for you to distance and lose yourselves in difficult moments — because He has become the Lord of your life…” (12/25/20 Jakov) Psalm 16 A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in thee I take refuge. I say to the LORD, “Thou art my Lord; I have no good apart from thee.” As for the saints in the land, they are the noble, in whom is all my delight. Those who choose another god multiply their sorrows; their libations of blood I will not pour out or take their names upon my lips. The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; thou holdest my lot. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. I keep the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices; my body also dwells secure. For thou dost not give me up to Sheol, or let thy godly one see the Pit. Thou dost show me the path of life; in thy presence there is fulness of joy, in thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.  (Psalm 16) In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2021    

Permit Jesus to begin to rule in your lives… January 19, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! We continue to prayerfully consider the December 25, 2020 message through Jakov: “That is why, my children, surrender your hearts to Jesus and permit Him to begin to rule your lives, because only in this way, will you accept the present and be able to face the world in which you live today…” (12/25/20 – Jakov) Our Lady is determined to make one point in this message.  That point is that we must surrender ourselves to her Son.  We must recognize how much we need Jesus, and completely surrender our lives to Him.  She is insistence on this point.  I believe she sees the world from eternity, and she knows what is coming.  And she knows that we will not be safe until we are completely under the authority of Jesus, safely standing under His leadership and command. “Surrender your hearts to Jesus and permit Him to begin to rule your lives…” What does it mean to permit Jesus to begin to rule our lives?  How does Jesus rule in us?  I believe it has to do with taking Jesus’ words and deeds into our hearts, where they can begin to change us and mold us into His image.  It is when we get to know Jesus through prayer, through the Scriptures and through the Sacraments, that we slowly begin to see Him as our Lord.  We see how worthy He is to be given authority over us, to be our teacher, our perfect example, our ideal, and yet our loving brother who desires only to be loved by us and to love us! St. Paul learned to love Jesus in this way.  And he struggled to draw all men into that love, that compassionate rule of Christ.  He wrote the Colossians about how to “let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts”.  St. Paul wrote: Colossians 3: 1-17 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming. In these you once walked when you lived in them. But now put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and foul talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old nature with its practices and have put on the new nature, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Here there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scyth’ian, slave, free man, but Christ is all, and in all. Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience, forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, and sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.  (Colossians 3:1-17) “…only in this way, will you accept the present and be able to face the world in which you live today…” We live in a very dark time, in a very dark world.  If we try to face this darkness on our own power, with our won wisdom, and our own strength, we will fail.  The only we to face this present time in this present world situation is to allow Christ to face it in us and through us.  Jesus wants to rule in us, to live in us in His fullness, so that He can overcome the world, and defeat the enemy of our souls.  He needs our surrender so that He can take over in and through us. In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2021  

  The Lord is my shepherd… January 18, 2021 Martin Luther King Day (USA) Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady continued to speak clearly to us in the Christmas Message received through Jakov Colo.  We might ask ourselves these questions that she put to us today.  How can we live Our Lady’s challenges more fervently? “…Children, is your heart open towards Jesus? Have you completely surrendered your life into His hands? Have you accepted Jesus as your father, to whom you can always turn and in Him find consolation and everything you need to live true faith?” (12/25/20 Jakov) Psalm 23 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want; he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever. (Ps 23:1-6) In Jesus we can find consolation and everything we need to live true faith.  Amen, and amen! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan © Mary TV 2021    

His arms are extended towards you… January 15, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! More from Our Lady’s message through Jakov on Christmas Day, 2020: “His Heart is always open towards you, to receive your every pain, every trial, fear and need. His arms are extended towards you, that as a father, He may embrace you and tell you how important you are for Him, how much He loves you and cares for His children…” (12/25/20 Jakov) Luke 15: 11-32 And he said, “There was a man who had two sons; and the younger of them said to his father, `Father, give me the share of property that falls to me.’ And he divided his living between them. Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took his journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in loose living. And when he had spent everything, a great famine arose in that country, and he began to be in want. So he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would gladly have fed on the pods that the swine ate; and no one gave him anything. But when he came to himself, he said, `How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, but I perish here with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me as one of your hired servants.”‘ And he arose and came to his father. But while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, `Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, `Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet; and bring the fatted calf and kill it and let us eat and make merry; for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to make merry. “Now his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. And he called one of the servants and asked what this meant. And he said to him, `Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.’ But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, but he answered his father, `Lo, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command; yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends. But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your living with harlots, you killed for him the fatted calf!’ And he said to him, `Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. It was fitting to make merry and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’”  (Lk 15:11-32) This is the kind of Father Jesus is to us all!!

  The Light of His Birth illuminates the world and your life! January 14, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! ”Dear children! Also today Jesus is here beside you, even when you think that you are alone, and that light does not exist in your life. He is here and has never left you or distanced Himself from you. The light of His birth illuminates this world and your life. From the First Letter of St. John: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.  (John 1: 1-5) The light of His birth illuminates this world and your life.  Amen, and amen! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!

Jesus is here beside you… January 13, 2021 St. Hilary Dear Family of Mary! The more I read and ponder Our Lady’s messages given to us on December 25, 2020, the more I find in them such strength and courage.  Our Lady spoke in a prophetic way to us on Christmas Day.  She gave us the truth.  She gave us reality.  She is with us and she directs us to her Son Jesus because we will need to be firmly attached to them both in these difficult days.  Here, again, is the message given through Jakov.  It is powerful: ”Dear children! Also today Jesus is here beside you, even when you think that you are alone, and that light does not exist in your life. He is here and has never left you or distanced Himself from you. The light of His birth illuminates this world and your life. His Heart is always open towards you, to receive your every pain, every trial, fear and need. His arms are extended towards you, that as a father, He may embrace you and tell you how important you are for Him, how much He loves you and cares for His children. Children, is your heart open towards Jesus? Have you completely surrendered your life into His hands? Have you accepted Jesus as your father, to whom you can always turn and in Him find consolation and everything you need to live true faith? That is why, my children, surrender your hearts to Jesus and permit Him to begin to rule your lives, because only in this way, will you accept the present and be able to face the world in which you live today.  With Jesus, every fear, suffering, and pain disappear, because your heart accepts His will and everything that comes into your life. Jesus will give you the faith to accept everything and nothing will distance you from Him — because He firmly holds you by the hand and does not permit for you to distance and lose yourselves in difficult moments — because He has become the Lord of your life. I bless you with my motherly blessing.” “With Jesus, every fear, suffering, and pain disappear, because your heart accepts His will and everything that comes into your life…”  Only with Jesus can we face our times with peace.  Only with Jesus and Mary can we be filled with hope and faith.  Let’s pray a Litany to the Sacred Heart of Jesus: Lord, have mercy on us. Christ, have mercy on us. Lord, have mercy on us. Christ, hear us. Christ graciously hear us. God the Father of Heaven, Have mercy on us. God the Son, Redeemer of the world, God the Holy Spirit, Holy Trinity, One God, Heart of Jesus, Son of the Eternal Father, Heart of Jesus, formed in the womb of the Virgin Mother by the Holy Ghost, Heart of Jesus, united substantially with the word of God, Heart of Jesus, of infinite majesty, Heart of Jesus, holy temple of God, Heart of Jesus, tabernacle of the Most High, Heart of Jesus, house of God and gate of heaven, Heart of Jesus, glowing furnace of charity, Heart of Jesus, vessel of justice and love, Heart of Jesus, full of goodness and love, Heart of Jesus, abyss of all virtues, Heart of Jesus, most worthy of all praise, Heart of Jesus, king and center of all hearts, Heart of Jesus, in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, Heart of Jesus, in whom dwelleth all the fullness of the Divinity, Heart of Jesus, in whom the Father is well pleased, Heart of Jesus,  we have all received, Heart of Jesus, desire of the everlasting hills, Heart of Jesus, patient and rich in mercy, Heart of Jesus, rich to all who invoke Thee, Heart of Jesus, fount of life and holiness, Heart of Jesus, propitiation for our sins, Heart of Jesus, saturated with revilings, .

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, Christ graciously spare us. Lamb of God who takest away the sins of the world, Have mercy on us. Jesus, meek and humble of Heart. R. Make our hearts like unto Thine. Let us pray: Almighty and everlasting God, look upon the Heart of Thy well-beloved Son and upon the acts of praise and satisfaction which He renders unto Thee in the name of sinners; and do Thou, in Thy great goodness, grant pardon to them who seek Thy mercy, in the name of the same Thy Son, Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with Thee, world without end.
