New Year’s Eve
Dear Family of Mary!
Today is the last day of 2024, New Year’s Eve! This is a day of remembrance and of hope. We look back at this past year and thank God for His graces and blessings. We are grateful for all the good we have received, but also we repent for anything we have done that has jeopardized peace in our families, communities or the world. We pray for healing and peace in the New Year as well. With hope, we look ahead.
Thanks be to God, Our Lady is still with us as we enter the New Year. It seems that She has called us consistently to pray for peace, in our own lives, our families and the whole world. She came as Queen of Peace to lift our eyes to God in prayer for peace. She speaks of peace in her messages. Here is one message:
September 25, 2002 “Dear children! Also in this peaceless time, I call you to prayer. Little children, pray for peace so that in the world every person would feel love towards peace. Only when the soul finds peace in God, it feels content and love will begin to flow in the world. And in a special way, little children, you are called to live and witness peace – peace in your hearts and families – and, through you, peace will also begin to flow in the world. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
We do long for peace to begin to flow in the world!! We want to live and witness peace!!
There is a worldwide initiative to pray for peace on New Year’s Eve! Here is the link for that announcement:
One excellent way to join this effort to pray for peace is to join the prayer from Medjugorje! St. James Parish in Medjugorje will have Midnight Mass on New Year’s Eve! This is a wonderful opportunity to pray for peace with Our Lady. Here is the announcement:
On New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2024, St. James Parish will begin with Adoration and Rosary at 10:30 pm (Medj time) followed by Midnight Mass!
Mary TV will stream this time of prayer, live, on our home page at https://marytv.tv/! Join us!
Thank you to all of you who are responding to Our Lady’s call, and praying with the parish in Medjugorje, daily, through Mary TV. I believe that our prayer together is a strong prayer for peace! Together we are helping Our Lady, even if it is just by being present with her in Medjugorje through Mary TV! God bless you all! You have made 2024 a beautiful and powerful gift for Our Lady!! Let’s continue to respond to her call together. We are making a difference!!
God bless you all!
