Come to me, all you who labor…

July 17, 2025

Dear Family of Mary!

Today’s Gospel:

Matthew 11:28-30
Jesus said: “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart: and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”

Jesus’ words to us are so very comforting and consoling. Who among us has not felt the weight of our burden, and the exhaustion of our labor. And isn’t it true that we can sometimes be our own terrible taskmaster, angrily forcing ourselves to overwork and lose hope? Our enemy also unleashes his own cohort of taskmasters, who drive us on with the lies they plant in our minds: You are lazy…You are stupid…You will never succeed…

But Jesus calls us to drop all those yokes and to take His yoke upon ourselves instead. He wants us to train our hearts to hear His voice, and help us to renounce the enemy’s evil lies. We can let Jesus speak to our hearts, encouraging us to go forward, to not fear, to trust in the Father, to grow in hope, to be small and little under His loving care. In this way we will find rest for ourselves! Jesus’ yoke is easy and His burden light!

Our Lady also encouraged us to let Jesus lead us:

March 18, 2021

“Dear children,
in a motherly way I am calling you
to return to the joy and the truth of the Gospel,
to return to the love of my Son –
because He is waiting for you with open arms;

that everything you do in life you do with my Son, with love;
that it may be blessed for you;

so that your spirituality may be internal, and not just external.

Only in that way will you be humble, generous, filled with love and joyful;
and my motherly heart will rejoice with you.

Thank you.”

The key is that… “everything you do in life, you do with my Son, with love!!” If we do everything in, with, and for Jesus, we will find rest for our souls. We will find peace for our hearts. And we will find joy forever!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Our Lady Speaks

Vicka's Note MaryTV

Vicka, one of the visionaries in Medjugorje, wrote the note (above) after Our Lady spoke with her during an apparition in Medjugorje in April, 1999, about Mary TV’s  plan to build a television facility in Medjugorje.

Vicka wrote to Denis: “Our Lady says that the plan is good – but you need to wait a little.  Now you can get prepared little by little, until Our Lady tells when the right moment is.  You don’t need to hurry, make haste, but to be patient.”

When Our Lady said this to Vicka, the technical genius in Medjugorje that she had her eyes upon, who would begin Mary TV’s live streaming from Medjugorje, was seven years old.

Totus Tuus (Totally Yours)

Immaculate Conception, Mary my Mother, Live in me, Act in me, Speak in me and through me, Think your thoughts in my mind, Love through my heart, Give me your dispositions and feelings, Teach, lead me and guide me to Jesus, Correct, enlighten and expand my thoughts and behavior, Possess my soul, Take over my entire personality and life, replace it with Yourself, Incline me to constant adoration, Pray in me and through me, Let me live in you and keep me in this union always.

Our Lady gave this prayer 25 years before She started appearing in Medjugorje. This prayer is being answered through Our Lady’s presence in Medjugorje and through Her messages. Mother Immaculata writes: “This is Mary’s hour and She is about to crush Satan’s head. Her very being is like incandescent heat in the center of the Trinity and the manifestation of Her power is growing daily. The Immaculate Conception prayer (which is what Our Lady called the prayer she gave me for union with Her) has been used by exorcists who have told me that the devil reacts violently to it and is subdued by it. We are praying daily for the success of Mary TV!“

Our Lady Gives A Sign…

Mary_with_Sun

MARY TV was LIVE STREAMING Ivan’s May 24, 2013 apparition on Mt. Podbrdo (Apparition Hill) in Medjugorje. My wife, Cathy, was praying in front of her computer in the US, connected through the Internet, welcoming Our Lady along with everyone gathered on the mountain. She couldn’t see anything on her computer screen because it was late at night and Ivan had said, “No lights.” She found herself asking Our Lady for a sign – a little light – as a sign that MARY TV was on the right track and really serving her. Just after the apparition, when she went to give an account on Mary TV’s Facebook page, the page opened with this picture that she had never seen before, captioned: “MARY APPEARS OVER BUILDING IN MEDJUGORJE, PHOTO TAKEN BY PILGRIM.” Our Lady is standing directly over MARY TV’s studios, her feet right where we have two POV cameras STREAMING 24/7 LIVE TO THE WORLD Apparition Hill & Cross Mountain!

ASK JESUS IF HE’D LIKE YOU TO START SENDING A MONTHLY DONATION TO MARY TV.
TO CONTINUE SAILING WITH OUR LADY UPON THE DIGITAL SEA THIS BOAT NEEDS FINANCIAL HELP.

Our Lady spoke to Vicka during an apparition in Medjugorje in April, 1999, about the importance of Mary TV’s mission. At that time she told Vicka that she herself (Our Lady) would begin Mary TV! She did! But she didn’t do it alone. The generosity of her children made Mary TV a reality for her. Your generosity is needed now for it to continue!
