"the gift of my presence"

"the gift of my presence" October 11, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! As I prayed about this reflection, I heard the words, "my presence..." I realized that we may take the incredible reality of Our Lady's presence among us for granted. But certainly we should not!! These apparitions of Our Lady in Medjugorje are an intense grace from God. Her presence changes us! Her presence heals us. Her presence delivers us of evil! Her presence directs us towards Heaven and Salvation. Mother Mary is an inestimable gift from God for us in these terrible days. To help us to truly appreciate the amazing gift of Our Lady's presence in Medjugorje, I have gathered 5 messages in which she talks about her presence. Let's pray a Rosary in thanksgiving for Mother Mary's presence among us!! I think is will bless us greatly!! Here are five messages, to be meditated upon at the beginning of each decade: September 25, 2003 "Dear children! Also today I call you to come closer to my heart. Only in this way, will you comprehend the gift of my presence here among you. I desire, little children, to lead you to the heart of my Son Jesus; but you resist and do not desire to open your hearts to prayer. Again, little children, I call you not to be deaf but to comprehend my call, which is salvation for you. Thank you for having responded to my call." October 25, 2005 "Little children, believe, pray and love, and God will be near you. He will give you the gift of all the graces you seek from Him. I am a gift to you, because, from day to day, God permits me to be with you and to love each of you with immeasurable love. Therefore, little children, in prayer and humility, open your hearts and be witnesses of my presence. Thank you for having responded to my call." June 25, 2007 "Dear children! Also today, with great joy in my heart, I call you to conversion. Little children, do not forget that you are all important in this great plan, which God leads through Medjugorje. God desires to convert the entire world and to call it to salvation and to the way towards Himself, who is the beginning and the end of every being. In a special way, little children, from the depth of my heart, I call you all to open yourselves to this great grace that God gives you through my presence here. I desire to thank each of you for the sacrifices and prayers. I am with you and I bless you all. Thank you for having responded to my call." September 25, 2008 "Dear children! May your life, anew, be a decision for peace. Be joyful carriers of peace and do not forget that you live in a time of grace, in which God gives you great graces through my presence. Do not close yourselves, little children, but make good use of this time and seek the gift of peace and love for your life so that you may become witnesses to others. I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call." June 25, 2009 "Dear children! Rejoice with me, convert in joy and give thanks to God for the gift of my presence among you. Pray that, in your hearts, God may be in the center of your life and with your life witness, little children, so that every creature may feel God's love. Be my extended hands for every creature, so that it may draw closer to the God of love. I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call." Prayer: Mother Mary, we are so grateful to you for being present in Medjugorje through your apparitions to the visionaries. Thank you for remaining with us all these years, in order to guide us, teach us, correct us, bless us, and protect us! We are totally grateful to you for loving us so much. We will listen to your messages and live as you advise, always in prayer, fasting, and loving service of our neighbor. We long to share your presence with all those we meet! Thank you, dearest Mother, for your presence in Medjugorje! Amen. In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV PS.

Mary TV: October 10, 2024 Reflection - Bless and Seek the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit

 

 

Bless and Seek the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit October 10, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! We need to seek the blessing of God every day! Our Lady tells us how: May 25, 2001  "Dear children! At this time of grace, I call you to prayer. Little children, you work much but without God's blessing. Bless and seek the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to lead you at this time so that you may comprehend and live in the grace of this time. Convert, little children, and kneel in the silence of your hearts. Put God in the center of your being so that, in that way, you can witness in joy the beauty that God continually gives in your life. Thank you for having responded to my call." May we put God in the very center of our being! With the Lord in our hearts we will find the beauty of our lives and constantly give Him praise! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S. - Here is a good prayer to pray against Hurricane Milton, and any weather events to come. Let's pray for the people of Florida: Prayer for Protection during Hurricane Season O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed your order and returned to its former quietude; you are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control. The Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can awake from its seeming lethargy, overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land and spread chaos and disaster. During this hurricane season, we turn to You, O loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time. O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son in our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem where a storm-less eternity awaits us. Amen. - Fr.

Mary TV: October 9, 2024 Reflection - Pronounce the 'Our Father'. And do not be afraid!

 

 

Pronounce the 'Our Father'. And do not be afraid!

Pronounce the 'Our Father'. And do not be afraid! October 9, 2024 St. John Leonardi Dear Family of Mary! We have another short and to the point Gospel reading today! Luke 11:1-4 Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples.” He said to them, “When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name,/ your Kingdom come./ Give us each day our daily bread/ and forgive us our sins/ for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us,/ and do not subject us to the final test.” The Gospel of the Lord. The disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. They had been listening to Jesus for some time, but they still needed to understand how to talk to the Father as Jesus did. And so they asked Jesus to teach them the words. The words He gave them were simple and to the point. He wanted them to address His Father and their Father! Imagine that!!! And then he showed them how to pray for what was most important - daily bread, forgiveness from the Father and for their neighbor, and help for the final test. Jesus taught them to pray, and it worked, because today we have the Church which teaches us how to pray in this very same way!! Mother Mary also teaches us to pray and leads us to the Father: January 2, 2020  "Dear children, I know that I am present in your lives and in your hearts. I feel your love, I hear your prayers and direct them to my Son. But, my children, according to motherly love, I desire to be in the lives of all of my children. I desire to gather all of my children around me, beneath my motherly mantle. This is why I am inviting you and calling you, apostles of my love, to help me. My children, my Son pronounced the words of the 'Our Father'- Our Father, [you] who are everywhere and in our hearts - because He desires to teach you to pray with words and feelings. He desires for you to always be better, to live merciful love which is prayer and limitless sacrifice for others. My children, give to my Son love for your neighbors, give words of consolation, compassion and acts of justice to your neighbors. Everything that you give to others, apostles of my love, my Son accepts as a gift. I am also with you, because my Son desires for my love, as a ray of light, to bring your souls to life; for me to help you in the search for peace and eternal happiness. Therefore, my children, love one another, be united through my Son, be children of God who all together, with full, open and pure heart, pronounce the 'Our Father'. And do not be afraid! Thank you." Do not be afraid! Our Father has sent Mary, our Mother, to be with us in these days, to guide us into holiness of life, and life eternal in Heaven. Let's pronounce the Our Father as Our Lady teaches us, so that we can go forward without fear into the Kingdom of God! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV Mary TV.

Mary TV: October 8, 2024 Reflection - Do not be anxious nor worried!

 

 

Do not be anxious nor worried!

Do not be anxious nor worried! October 8, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Our Gospel today speaks to us about our priorities. What is it that should occupy us the most? Is it our job? Is it politics? Is it the future? Jesus speaks to this question in the Gospel. Maybe we should read this Gospel every day!! Luke 10: 38 - 42: Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me." The Lord said to her in reply, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her." (Luke 10: 41-42) Our Lady, in her own words, echoes Jesus' advice to Martha! Maybe we should read this message every day too: May 25, 1988  "Dear children!  I am inviting you to a complete surrender to God. Pray, little children, that satan may not carry you about like the branches in the wind. Be strong in God. I desire that through you the whole world may get to know the God of joy. By your life bear witness for God's joy. Do not be anxious nor worried. God himself will help you and show you the way. I desire that you love all men with my love. Only in that way can love reign over the world. Little children, you are mine. I love you and want you to surrender to me so that I can lead you to God. Never cease praying so that satan cannot take advantage of you. Pray for the knowledge that you are mine. I bless you with blessings of joy. Thank you for having responded to my call." Amen! We long to completely surrender to God! Show us the way, Mother Mary! Help us to choose the better part, Jesus Christ, your Son! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV Mary TV.

Mary TV: October 7, 2024 Reflection - Our Lady of the Rosary!

 

 

 

Our Lady of the Rosary

Our Lady of the Rosary! Ivan's Apparition on October 5, 2024 October 7, 2024 Our Lady of the Rosary! Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady of the Rosary: Quoting the Magnificat: "Today's feast originated in 1571, when the Battle of Lepanto saw an invading Muslim army defeated in Greece after Saint Pius V called the faithful to pray the rosary for the protection of Europe. In essence , the rosary is a contemplative immersion in the lives of Jesus and Mary, and a powerful weapon in the spiritual warfare every Christian must in some way face. When we pray the rosary devoutly, we "Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all, to stand!" (Eph 6:13) We find ourselves in that evil day, and we are called to stand with Our Lady in this evil day! It is the Rosary that will be our strength, our support, and our weapon in this day. Our Lady has given it to us for this very hour!! Like the days of St. Pius V, we stand in the days of a massive assault on the Faith. An assault so powerful that only Our Lady will be able to withstand it. She is our Joan of Arc in these days!!! Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!! I also want to share the beautiful remarks that Ivan made after the prayer time that he shared with us on Saturday, October 5!! Here they are: Our Lady’s Apparition to Ivan October 5, 2024 IVAN’S WELCOME Dear Priests, Dear Friends in Christ, I greet all of you from the bottom of my heart. I especially greet all of you who join us today in prayer via the Internet, via Zoom. All these days we have prayed for Our Lady’s intentions and for Peace in the world, so this is exactly what we are going to do this evening. It is Our Lady’s desire. It is the intention of Our Blessed Mother. Let us open our hearts. Let us be open to Peace; Peace in our hearts, so that Peace may reign in us, and all over the world. AFTER THE APPARITION Dear Priests, Dear Friends in Christ, Dear Friends who are praying together with us today via the Internet, We gather together because Our Lady invited us here. We wish to follow her. We wish to live her messages, and we wish to help her so that her plans may be accomplished. In the latest message, she said, “I do need you. I can realize my plans with you. Therefore, decide for good, and fight against evil.” Our Lady has repeated these words many, many times during these years. And today, again, she repeats these words. She wants to help us. She wants to take us to the Way of Light and Hope. There is no one who could say more than the Blessed Mother about how much this world needs Peace and Hope today. Today, she comes to us Joyful. She was very happy. She greeted us all with the words, “Praised be Jesus, my dear children!” And then, she looked over all of us, and she prayed over us. And then, she prayed especially over the priests present here. And she prayed over the sick. And then, she prayed over all those, and blessed them, all those who are on the church ground who take part in the Evening Prayer Program. And then, for some time, she prayed for the Peace in the world. And then, I recommended to Our Lady all of you who are praying today with us via Internet and all of you who are present in the chapel. I presented all your prayer petitions, and all those petitions that are brought here in a written form. And then, Our Lady gave us her motherly blessing, and she blessed all the religious articles. There was also a part of the private conversation during the apparition. And after the private conversation, Our Lady left in prayer in the sign of the light and the cross, with the words, “Go in Peace, my dear children.” I try to emphasize the most important from this evening’s encounter. As you have seen, Our Lady prayed this evening especially for Peace; and you can see how important it is to support Our Lady with our prayers so that her plans may be accomplished. And for all of you who were praying today with us through the Internet, thank you for being with us, and hope to see you again next Saturday at the same time. Ivan Dragicevic. Our Lady needs our prayers for peace!! We are her army of warriors who pray the Rosary, as they did at Lepanto all those years ago! This is the time to pray the Rosary! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: October 4, 2024 Reflection - Pray that your life be joyful thanksgiving !!

 

 

Pray that your life be joyful thanksgiving October 4, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! The Psalm for today's Mass is one of my favorite readings! It tells us so beautifully how much we are loved by God! Psalm 139 O Lord, you have probed me and you know me;  you know when I sit and when I stand;  you understand my thoughts from afar. My journeys and my rest you scrutinize,  with all my ways you are familiar. R/ Where can I go from your spirit? From your presence where can I flee? If I go up to the heavens, you are there;  if I sink to the nether world, you are present there. R/ If I take the wings of the dawn,  if I settle at the farthest limits of the sea, Even there your hand shall guide me,  and your right hand hold me fast. R/ Truly you have formed my inmost being;  you knit me in my mother’s womb. I give you thanks that I am fearfully, wonderfully made; wonderful are your works. R/ This Psalm helps us to feel deeply the power of our God, His providence, His care, and His love! When we pray this psalm, we feel like a well loved child!! In this message, Our Lady also proclaims the great power of God's love, from a similar perspective!! August 25, 1988  "Dear children! Today I invite you all to rejoice in the life which God gives you. Little children, rejoice in God, the Creator, because He has created you so wonderfully. Pray that your life be joyful thanksgiving which flows out of your heart like a river of joy. Little children, give thanks unceasingly for all that you possess, for each little gift which God has given you, so that a joyful blessing always comes down from God upon your life. Thank you for having responded to my call." We have been created so wonderfully!! Thanks be to God for His great creative love!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV PS.
