Be Joyful in God!   October 19, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! 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.” “Be joyful in God!” I was looking for a prayer of joy or litany of joy that I could share with you, but I heard a small, sweet voice saying: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord…”  I knew at once it was Our Lady reminding me that there is no more powerful and joyful a prayer than her prayer which came from her heart when she greeted Elizabeth and both women were inundated with the Holy Spirit! Mary and Elizabeth were let in on the wonder of God’s plan of salvation that was being enacted through them both.  For Elizabeth with the conception of St. John the Baptist, and for Mary with the mind-boggling conception of Jesus in her womb, through the power of the Holy Spirit.  Jesus, both Man and God, Son of Mary and Lord of all! Our joy flows from this incredible event.  We were given our Savior and Lord, and delivered from eternal damnation through His life, death and resurrection. Talk about joy!!!!!  Our Lady knows joy.  And we can only join in her joy, with our hearts in awe at the grace and gift we have been given through her yes.  This is how we can be joyful in God!  Be joyful in God with Mary!!! The Prayer Of Mary – Magnificat My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,  my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.  From this day all generations will call me blessed:  the Almighty has done great things for me,  and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation.  He has shown the strength of his arm,  he has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,  and has lifted up the lowly.  He has filled the hungry with good things,  and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he remembered his promise of mercy,  the promise he made to our fathers,  to Abraham and his children forever. (Lk 1: 46-55) In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2022

Be witnesses of love without bounds!   October 18, 2022 St. Luke, Evangelist Dear Family of Mary! 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.” Our Lady told us to pray in this way in the September 25 message: “Pray that the Holy Spirit may enlighten you that you be… witnesses of love without bounds!” What does it mean to be witnesses?  She has asked us to witness many times.  What does it mean to be a witness?  The simple answer is: a witness is a person who saw, or can give a firsthand account of, something. Witnesses experience an event or see something happen that they later can attest to.  They share through their own words an experience they have had.  Our Lady tells us to pray to the Holy Spirit so that we can be witnesses of “love without bounds”!  We have to ask ourselves when we have seen love without bounds?  When have we experienced love without bounds so that we can witness to others about it? Our Lady answers this question in the next line: “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.” The love without bounds is the love which God does within us, which He lavishes upon us as we draw close to Him.  The love without bounds is demonstrated each time we go to Confession and we are absolved of all our sins!  The love without bounds exists in the Eucharist which is the Body and Blood of our Savior, sacrificed for our salvation, and given to us as daily food!  The love without bounds is Jesus, conceived in a Virgin’s womb, who is born, lives, heals, ministers, teaches and loves all those He meets, and then dies on the Cross, completely poured out for our sins, and uttering forgiveness to His last breath.  This is the love without bounds.  This is the love that has saved us all. The boundless love we are to witness is the love that has saved us!  It is the love that won for us eternal life!!  It is boundless!! It is so huge the universe cannot hold it.  It is so powerful that no one can stop it!! This is the witness that the Apostles gave in Jerusalem.  And it is the witness we must give wherever we live.  The witness of the boundless love of God!! Our Lady is with us to live this love and witness it as well.  This message is very consoling: March 25, 2005 “Dear children! Today I call you to love. Little children, love each other with God’s love. At every moment, in joy and in sorrow, may love prevail and, in this way, love will begin to reign in your hearts. The risen Jesus will be with you and you will be his witnesses. I will rejoice with you and protect you with my motherly mantle. Especially, little children, I will watch your daily conversion with love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Thank you dearest Mother!  We want to be witnesses of love without bounds!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2022  

Be Joyful Seekers of God!   October 17, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! Here is the September 25, 2022 message again! 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.” “Pray that the Holy Spirit may enlighten you that you be joyful seekers of God…” Our Lady calls us to be “Joyful seekers of God…” Seeking God is so necessary. We have that gnawing feeling in our hearts that tells us that we are missing something, hungry for something in our souls, something we need very much.  That something is our God. But we live in a world that has been divided from God through original sin. We failed in our first relationship with Him. As much as He loves us, He has banished us from the Garden, and we wander in a world bereft of His presence. Our hearts yearn for Him. Even if we don’t realize it yet. But we are seekers, from the time we are born. Seekers of a home we know exists somewhere. This is the longing for God. Our Lady knows that we feel this way.  She knows our loneliness for God. And so she tells us to ask the Holy Spirit to give us Light!  Show us how to be seekers of God, but not just seekers, JOYFUL SEEKERS!!  She tells us it is possible to seek with such certitude that we seek in joy!! Wow!  When we know that our God is our Father, and that He wants us to come home, we can start searching for Him in joy!!  Like the Prodigal Son, we will find our Father who will embrace us! St. Anselm wrote a beautiful prayer on seeking the Lord.  Let His words encourage us to be joyful seekers of God! A Prayer by St. Anselm of Canterbury O my God, teach my heart where and how to seek You, where and how to find You. You are my God and You are my all and I have never seen You. You have made me and remade me, You have bestowed on me all the good things I possess, Still I do not know You. I have not yet done that for which I was made. Teach me to seek You. I cannot seek You unless You teach me or find You unless You show Yourself to me. Let me seek You in my desire, let me desire You in my seeking. Let me find You by loving You, let me love You when I find You. Amen “Pray that the Holy Spirit may enlighten you that you be joyful seekers of God…” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

R. Amen. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2022

“Here we are, Mother! Lead us!”   October 13, 2022 The Miracle of the Sun at Fatima Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady has spoken to us about many things over the last 41 years.  There have been many challenges in the world during those years…wars, famines, plagues, civil unrest, the growth of atheism and the occult.  These have been difficult years for all of us. But Our Lady has stayed with us, with such constancy and loyalty.  She has given us messages each month…messages filled with wisdom, encouragement, correction and love.  These messages come from the Heart of our Mother.  And they sustain us in all things. Here are three messages in which Our Lady mentions the signs of the times, and how we must respond to them.  She knows that the world is convulsing in evil, but she doesn’t dwell on the evil, because she is too busy building us up in the good.  Her response to evil is to do good!  Let these three messages help us to focus on the Good God and His love for us, and then live our lives accordingly! September 25, 1998 “Dear children! Today, I call you to become my witnesses by living the faith of your fathers. Little children, you seek signs and messages and do not see that, with every morning sunrise, God calls you to convert and to return to the way of truth and salvation. You speak much, little children, but you work little on your conversion. That is why, convert and start to live my messages, not with your words but with your life. In this way, little children, you will have the strength to decide for the true conversion of the heart. Thank you for having responded to my call.” June 2, 2007 “Dear children! Also in this difficult time God’s love sends me to you. My children, do not be afraid, I am with you. With complete trust give me your hearts, that I may help you to recognize the signs of the time in which you live. I will help you to come to know the love of my Son. I will triumph through you. Thank you.” May 2, 2009 Our Lady was very sad. She blessed us and gave this message: “Dear children! Already for a long time I am giving you my motherly heart and offering my Son to you. You are rejecting me. You are permitting sin to overcome you more and more. You are permitting it to master you and to take away your power of discernment. My poor children, look around you and look at the signs of the times. Do you think that you can do without God’s blessing? Do not allow darkness to envelop you. From the depth of your hearts cry out for my Son. His Name disperses even the greatest darkness… I will be with you, just call on me: ‘Here we are Mother, lead us.’ Thank you.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2022  

Follow me…   October 12, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! August 2, 2014 “Dear children, the reason that I am with you, my mission, is to help you for ‘good’ to win, even though this does not seem possible to you now. I know that you do not understand many things as I also did not understand everything, everything that my Son explained to me while He was growing up alongside me – but I believed Him and followed Him. I ask this of you also, to believe me and to follow me. However, my children, to follow me means to love my Son above everything, to love Him in every person without making differences. For you to be able to do this, I call you anew to renunciation, prayer and fasting. I am calling you for the Eucharist to be the life of your soul. I am calling you to be my apostles of light who will spread love and mercy through the world. My children, your life is only a blink in contrast to eternal life. And when you come before my Son, in your hearts He will see how much love you had. In order to spread love in the right way, I am asking my Son, through love, to grant you unity through Him, unity among you, unity between you and your shepherds. Through them my Son always gives Himself to you anew and renews your soul. Do not forget this. Thank you.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2022  

Give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you!   October 11, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! Luke 11:37-41 After Jesus had spoken, a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home. He entered and reclined at table to eat. The Pharisee was amazed to see that he did not observe the prescribed washing before the meal. The Lord said to him, “Oh, you Pharisees! Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, inside you are filled with plunder and evil. You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside? But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you.” “But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you.” Jesus was really abashed at this Pharisee, and how thick headed he was.  He just didn’t get Jesus.   He was so picky and stubborn and self-centered!!  But He gave him a very simple remedy.  “Give alms, and behold everything will be clean for you!” Giving alms is a remedy for so much that is disordered within us.  Why?  I think it is because the act of serving and sharing with others who are poor can penetrate our hearts as nothing else can. Last week I was blessed to go to the movie, “No Greater Love” which is a tribute to Mother Teresa of Calcutta – ( https://www.motherteresamovie.com/ ) – It was so moving, I could hardly take it all in.  I highly recommend it!!  Mother Teresa made her entire life a gift of alms for the poor.  She gave everything.  And for her everything was clean!!!  Her soul was a bright and shiny as the sun!! Our Lady knows about having souls that shine.  In this very long message she gives us very good advice about how to become good.  Of course the poor are included in her list.  In fact so many of the things Our Lady calls us to do are exemplified in Mother Teresa.  She prayed the Rosary. none-stop!  She And she offered her entire life to Jesus, through Mary, by serving the poor.  May Our Lady teach us our road to holiness so that one day we will shine like the sun!! December 2, 2017  “Dear children, I turn to you as your mother, the mother of the just, the mother of those who love and suffer, the mother of those who are holy. My children, you too can be holy – this depends on you. Those who are holy are those who immeasurably love the Heavenly Father, those who love Him above all. Therefore, my children, always strive to be better. If you strive to be good you can be holy even though you may not think so of yourselves. If you think that you are good, you are not humble, and arrogance distances you from holiness. In this peaceless world full of threats, your hands, apostles of my love, should be extended in prayer and mercy. And to me, my children, give the gift of the rosary, the roses which I love so much. My roses are your prayers pronounced with the heart and not only recited with the lips. My roses are your acts of prayer, faith and love. When my Son was little, he said to me that my children would be numerous and that they would bring me many roses. I did not comprehend Him. Now I know that you are those children who are bringing me roses when, above all, you love my Son, when you pray with the heart, when you help the poorest. Those are my roses. That is the faith which makes everything in life be done through love, not knowing arrogance, and always ready to forgive; never judging, always striving to understand one’s brother. Therefore, apostles of my love, pray for those who do not know how to love, for those who do not love you, for those who have done evil to you, for those who have not come to know the love of my Son. My children, I ask this of you because, remember, to pray means to love and to forgive. Thank you.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2022  

The Truth does not change!   October 10, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! In this message below, Our Lady gives us sound advice on how to live and transmit holiness in these days when so many of Our Lady’s children have forgotten holiness and truth. If we live her words we will be at peace and help others to find their way: May 2, 2016 “Dear children! My motherly heart desires your true conversion and a firm faith so that you may be able to spread love and peace to all those who surround you. But, my children, do not forget: each of you is a unique world before the Heavenly Father. Therefore, permit the continuous working of the Holy Spirit to work on you. Be my spiritually pure children. In spirituality is beauty. Everything that is spiritual is alive and very beautiful. Do not forget that in the Eucharist, which is the heart of faith, my Son is always with you. He comes to you and breaks bread with you; because, my children, for your sake He died, He resurrected and is coming anew. These words of mine are familiar to you because they are the truth, and the truth does not change. It is only that many of my children have forgotten it. My children, my words are neither old nor new, they are eternal. Therefore, I invite you, my children, to observe well the signs of the times, to ‘gather the shattered crosses’ and to be apostles of the revelation. Thank you.” Fr. Leon gave a very precise and moving homily yesterday at English Mass in Medjugorje, in which he presented the truth, the eternal truth, that Jesus gave us once and for all. He helps us to understand well the signs of the times and how to recognize the truth that does not change. Below is the link to the transcript of that Homily: Fr. Leon’s Homily And here is the link to the video of Fr. Leon delivering this homily: https://marytv.tv/english-homily-in-medjugorje-2/?smid=ixPBaNs4Z4C&slid=IRBKmbjFsDA In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Our Lady of the Rosary   October 7, 2022 Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary Dear Family of Mary! Today the Church celebrates the Rosary, which is the powerful gift of prayer that Our Lady has given us.  Much has been said about the Rosary.  But I would like to share something personal that I received in prayer yesterday. During Adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, I asked Jesus to speak to me about this holy day, Our Lady of the Rosary.  This is what I heard: “Tomorrow My Mother will begin to move against our enemy. She will come wrapped in light, and begin to demolish the Tower of Babel that Satan has erected in the world.  His lies will implode and his plans will begin to fail. Pray the Rosary all day on the Feast of the Holy Rosary.  Pray it with courage and love, peace and trust.  Pray the Rosary tomorrow!” I share this with you only as an encouragement to pray the Rosary today. Here are three message from Our Lady given through the visionaries.  Our Lady has asked us to pray the Rosary reverently and often. She tells us it is the weapon! May we respond to her call! 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.” January 25, 1991 “Dear children! Today, like never before, I invite you to prayer. Let your prayer be a prayer for peace. Satan is strong and desires to destroy not only human life, but also nature and the planet on which you live. Therefore, dear children, pray that through prayer you can protect yourselves with God’s blessing of peace. God has sent me among you so that I may help you. If you so wish, grasp for the rosary. Even the rosary alone can work miracles in the world and in your lives. I bless you and I remain with you for as long as it is God’s will. Thank you for not betraying my presence here and I thank you because your response is serving the good and the peace.” April 25, 2001 “Dear children! Also today, I call you to prayer. Little children, prayer works miracles. When you are tired and sick and you do not know the meaning of your life, take the Rosary and pray; pray until prayer becomes for you a joyful meeting with your Savior. I am with you, little children, and I intercede and pray for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2022

“I tell you, ask and you shall receive!” October 6, 2022 St. Bruno Dear Family of Mary! In our Gospel for today (Luke 11:5-13) Jesus explains the necessity of prayer and the power of prayer to His disciples.  We need to realize that our whole relationship with God depends on prayer.  Yes, we need Mother Church, we need the Sacraments, we need the Commandments and the teachings of the Church.  But without prayer, none of these incredible gifts of the Church will penetrate, heal, lead, and change us! Jesus tells us in the Gospel: “And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.  What father among you would hand his son a snake when he asks for a fish? Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?” (Luke 11:9-13) Jesus made it perfectly clear that if we pray, if we ask the Father for something, He will answer us. If we seek the Father, He will be found.   If we knock on the door of Heaven, it will be opened to us.  In fact the Father will give us His very own Spirit if we ask Him.  These gifts are the fruit of prayer. Our Lady has made prayer the most important part of her plan for us.  She never stops exhorting us to pray. Take this message for example: April 2, 2011 “Dear children; With motherly love I desire to open the heart of each of you and to teach you personal unity with the Father.  (This unity is achieved through prayer.) To accept this, you must comprehend that you are important to God and that He is calling you individually. (Prayer is the means to relate to God individually, and to recognize His love.) You must comprehend that your prayer is a conversation of a child with the Father; (This is the most beautiful way to describe what prayer is!  We are children talking to our Father.) that love is the way by which you must set out: love for God and for your neighbor. (Prayer must be powered by love…) That is, my children, the love that has no boundaries. (We cannot put limits on our prayer out of love.  It is everything for us.) That is the love that emanates from truth and goes to the end. (Prayer is the way to receive the truth that emanate from love) Follow me, my children, so that also others, in recognizing the truth and love in you, may follow you. (If we follow Our Lady into prayer, others will see and also follow.) Thank you.” Forgive me for interjecting throughout the message, but I couldn’t explain it any better than she does.  I just wanted to emphasize her words.  Let’s return to prayer with all our hearts! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2022
