Mary TV: August 4 , 2026 Reflection - Day 4 of the Youth Festival in Medjugorje!

Day 4 of the Youth Festival in Medjugorje

August 4, 2026

Day 4 of the Youth Festival in Medjugorje

Dear Family of Mary!

Day 3 of the Youth Festival was just beautiful! The testimonies were very moving. And the prayer and singing were filled with joy! In the evening, there was a candlelight prayer in which all the participants received a candle, and then one by one the candles were lit! It is always moving to see the people in darkness come into the light as the flames are shared, one by one throughout the crowd. Everything that happens has such profound meaning!

I encourage all of you that if you could not watch the events for Day 3 you will watch them in the days ahead on Mary TV! We have an archive just for the youth festival right underneath the Live Channel!

The pastor of the parish, Fr. Zvonimir Pavičić, is the MC for the festival, and he is doing such a beautiful job. He always starts the day with a message from Our Lady!!

Here is the message he shared on the first day, I believe:

November 13, 1986 "Dear children! Today again I am calling you to pray with your whole heart and day by day to change your life. Especially, dear children, I am calling that by your prayers and sacrifices you begin to live in holiness, because I desire that each one of you who has been to this fountain of grace will come to Paradise with the special gift which you shall give me, and that is holiness. Therefore, dear children, pray and daily change your life in order to become fully holy. I shall always be close to you. Thank you for having responded to my call."

The call to holiness is central to Our Lady's plan for us. With holiness we can overcome all difficulties and find our way into peace. Sin interrupts everything and creates havoc. Peace comes hand in hand with holiness. But holiness is a daily project, actually minute by minute, since we must constantly choose it. If we do not choose it, we will lose our way very quickly in our terribly dangerous world.

And so Our Lady says to us: "Therefore, dear children, pray and daily change your life in order to become fully holy." She knows the process. It is day by day!! But with Our Lady by our side, we can do it!!

God bless us all! With a Mother like Our Lady, we have great hope of attaining holiness! One day at a time! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Sharing Some Devastating News and Asking for Prayers and Help

 

Dear Friends,

As always, the past couple of months have been active and eventful here at Mary's Shelter VA. We have had so much to celebrate and countless blessings for which we are deeply grateful.

At the same time, our community has experienced an unimaginable and heartbreaking loss that we feel compelled to share with you.

One of our incredibly loving mothers just recently faced an unimaginable tragedy when her two-year-old son was rushed to the hospital after suffering multiple seizures. He was transferred to Children's Hospital, where he received exceptional care from a dedicated and caring medical team. Despite every effort, his precious life could not be saved.

His mother is now navigating the overwhelming grief of losing her beloved son while also facing the unexpected financial burdens that accompany such a devastating loss.

We ask first and foremost for your prayers for this grieving family. If you feel called to help, we also invite you to make a donation to assist with the funeral and other related expenses during this incredibly difficult time. No gift is too small, and every act of generosity will be a meaningful blessing.

Please find the GoFundMe information below.

Thank you for keeping this heartbroken mother and her family in your prayers.

On behalf of all at Mary's Shelter VA,

Kathleen Wilson, Director

Day 3 of the Youth Festival in Medjugorje

August 3, 2026

Day 3 of the Youth Festival in Medjugorje

Dear Family of Mary!

On August 1, 2026, at the opening ceremony of the Youth Festival, Archbishop Cavalli delivered a message from Pope Leo to the participants of the Youth Festival in Medjugorje! It is simple and beautiful! A good way to begin this holy week of prayer, catechesis, the Sacraments and pure joy!

Here is the message from Pope Leo to the participants of the Youth Festival:

Pope Leo sends his greeting to all participants of the Youth Festival in Medjugorje! He urges them to return to the Fountain, that is to return to Christ, the Source of a New Life and the Advent of Joy!

He, therefore, invites them to rediscover through prayer, listening to the Word of God, and through the Sacraments, the beauty of a personal encounter with the Lord, who quenches every heart and gives the strength to always begin anew.

His Holiness encourages young people to sincerely seek the Truth that sets them free, without being seduced by the illusions of fleeting happiness.

In following Jesus, each person can embrace, even amongst difficult questions and the restlessness of the heart, as an opportunity for discernment and growth in faith.

The Holy Father also urges young people to let themselves be led by the Holy Spirit, and to entrust themselves to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, so that they may become shining witnesses of the Gospel, promoters of the Good News, Fraternity, and Builders of Peace in society.

Assuring them of His remembrance in prayer, the Supreme Pontif invokes upon all an abundance of Divine Grace, heartily imparting His Apostolic Blessing.

Pope Leo!
(Delivered by Arch Bishop Aldo Cavalli to the Youth Festival 2026)

Tomorrow will be a full day of Catechesis, Prayer, and Wordship! See you then!!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Join the 37th Mladifest in Medjugorje - August 1st!

July 31, 2026

Dear Family of Mary!

Once again, let's read the July 25, 2026 message!

July 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace!

“Dear children! While darkness and peacelessness rule in many hearts, you, little children, be prayer and my extended hands of love. Little children, place the Sacred Scripture in a visible place in your family and read it, so that it may be an encouragement for you to conversion and a new life; because Satan is strong and seduces hearts. Your hearts, through my maternal Heart, I desire to commend to the Heart of my Son Jesus, so that He, the Risen One, may reign in you and joy may begin to reign in you and around you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With Ecclesiastical approval)

The 37th Youth Festival in Medjugorje begins tomorrow night!! For 6 days, the young people from around the world will gather around St. James Church to pray, to attend Daily Mass, to listen to talks by people who love Jesus and Mary, and to sing and dance and be joyous!! These 6 days are filled with grace!!

Mary TV will stream the entire program to you, live each day. Between sessions, Mary TV will interview the young people and gather testimonies! And if you miss a session, it will be archived on our website. Please pray for our team, that they will be blessed and strong to do this task! Simply go to our website and click on the Channel at the top of the home page. It will all be there.

Also, there will be a special time of prayer on Apparition Hill tonight (July 31)! Ivan has invited all to come and pray the Rosary at 9:00 pm Medj time (3:00 pm EDT)! And at 10:00 pm there will be an apparition of Our Lady! Again, Mary TV will stream this prayer time, live, on our channel.

Mary TV: July 30, 2026 Reflection - Read Sacred Scripture so that it may be an encouragement for you!

 

Read Sacred Scripture so that it may be an encouragement for you! July 30, 2026 Dear Family of Mary! Once again, let's read the July 25, 2026 message! July 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace! “Dear children! While darkness and peacelessness rule in many hearts, you, little children, be prayer and my extended hands of love. Little children, place the Sacred Scripture in a visible place in your family and read it, so that it may be an encouragement for you to conversion and a new life; because Satan is strong and seduces hearts. Your hearts, through my maternal Heart, I desire to commend to the Heart of my Son Jesus, so that He, the Risen One, may reign in you and joy may begin to reign in you and around you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With Ecclesiastical approval) Over the years Our Lady has called us to prayerfully read the Sacred Scripture, especially in our families. It is clear that she wants us to realize that we cannot live our faith, if we are not grounded in the Scriptures. Why? Because the world around us wants to capture our imaginations and our hearts in order to lead us away from God. We are in great danger in this world, if our thoughts, our memories, our imaginations, and our desires are not grounded in God. And this can only happen if we take in the inspired words of the Scriptures on a daily basis, in order to give us the truth about ourselves, our lives, our futures, our goals, and our desires. Scripture is the antidote to the world! It wakes us up to God's plan for our lives and the great good which awaits us in God. Scripture is also the antidote to the lies of Satan. Scripture opens us up to Truth! To amplify the July 25, 2026 message, here are three more messages in which Our Lady calls us to Scripture. Let's pray over them and allow Our Lady and the Holy Spirit to teach us about Scripture. January 25, 2014 "Dear children! Pray, pray, pray for the radiance of your prayer to have an influence on those whom you meet. Put the Sacred Scripture in a visible place in your families and read it, so that the words of peace may begin to flow in your hearts. I am praying with you and for you, little children, that from day to day you may become still more open to God's will. Thank you for having responded to my call." June 25, 2024 "Dear children! I rejoice with you and thank God for permitting me to be with you, to lead you and love you. Little children, peace is in danger and the family is under attack. I am calling you, little children: return to prayer in the family. Put Sacred Scripture in a visible place and read it every day. Love God above all that it may be good for you on earth. Thank you for having responded to my call." Holy Thursday, April 19, 1984 To Jelena: "I'm going to reveal a spiritual secret to you: if you want to be stronger than evil, make yourself a plan of personal prayer. Take a certain time in the morning, read a text from Holy Scripture, anchor the Divine word in your heart, and strive to live it during the day, particularly during the moment of trials. In this way, you will be stronger than evil." I know we are busy people. It is hard to set time aside for reading the Bible. But if we can manage to do it faithfully for a few days or weeks, we may see the change in our mental health, our emotional strength and vigor, and our spiritual awareness. Let's give it a try!!
