Mary TV: May 8, 2026 Reflection- Missionaries of love and peace!

 

Missionaries of love and peace!

Missionaries of love and peace! May 8, 2026 Dear Family of Mary! The April 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace  "Dear children, I am praying for you and encourage you to a new life, a life in joy and prayer. May the Holy Spirit fill you, little children, with joy so that you may be like a spring of pure and drinkable water; that you, little children, may be, in God and with God, missionaries of love and peace. Your life is short here on earth and that is why I am with you to lead you towards Heaven. Thank you for having responded to my call." (With ecclesiastical approval) In this message Our Lady asks us to be "missionaries of love and peace." Her call is so important, so fundamental!! Our mission is to love our families and our neighbors, really all whom we meet. And in loving to bring peace. Saint (Mother) Teresa of Calcutta never stopped calling us all to do just this, to love our neighbor as ourselves:  "[The] most important thing—when we die [we will be asked], “When were you loving? You did it to Me.” This is for every Christian, every human being, and we Christians have greater responsibility because we know, we have been taught. Others don’t know as clearly as we know…. "Even if you give a small smile, you did it to Jesus, God himself. And at the hour of death when you and I will die and go home to God, Jesus [will give] the same question…. “I was hungry and you gave me to eat, not only hungry for bread, but hungry for love; being lonely, unwanted, hungry for love; not only naked for a piece of cloth, but naked for loss of dignity, human dignity, that beautiful virtue of purity…. Homeless not only for a homemade of bricks, but for feeling unwanted, unloved, rejected, a throwaway of society.” This is what Jesus will judge us [on] when we come before him. I was hungry, you gave me to eat; I was naked, you clothed me; I was homeless, you took me in. Come, you blessed of my Father and inherit the kingdom he has prepared from all eternity and for all eternity. You [will] be full of joy, full of peace, full of love…. And this is what Jesus came to teach us—how to love." Saint Teresa of Calcutta (From: The writings of Mother Teresa of Calcutta - (c) The Mother Teresa Center.) Just like Mother Teresa, Our Lady teaches us now how to be missionaries of love and peace. She knows we cannot do it without the power of the Holy Spirit, and so she prays for us to receive the Holy Spirit! Let's pray for each other to be filled with the Spirit of God, that we can learn to love! God bless us all and may Jesus and Mary be always with us!! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S.

Mary TV: May 7, 2026 Reflection- “As the Father loves me, so I also love you."

 

“As the Father loves me, so I also love you." May 7, 2026 Dear Family of Mary! The April 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace  "Dear children, I am praying for you and encourage you to a new life, a life in joy and prayer. May the Holy Spirit fill you, little children, with joy so that you may be like a spring of pure and drinkable water; that you, little children, may be, in God and with God, missionaries of love and peace. Your life is short here on earth and that is why I am with you to lead you towards Heaven. Thank you for having responded to my call." (With ecclesiastical approval) The Gospel reading for today is so pure and beautiful. Indeed, Jesus' words are like a spring of pure and drinkable water! May we receive them in the silence of our hearts and be filled with that pure and drinkable water! The Gospel according to John, 15:9-11: Jesus said to his disciples: “As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete.” The Gospel of the Lord. God bless us all, and may Jesus and Mary be always with us!! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S.

Mary TV: May 6, 2026 Reflection- Remain in Me!!

 

 

Remain in Me!! May 6, 2026 Dear Family of Mary! The April 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace  "Dear children, I am praying for you and encourage you to a new life, a life in joy and prayer. May the Holy Spirit fill you, little children, with joy so that you may be like a spring of pure and drinkable water; that you, little children, may be, in God and with God, missionaries of love and peace. Your life is short here on earth and that is why I am with you to lead you towards Heaven. Thank you for having responded to my call." (With ecclesiastical approval) In our Gospel for today, Jesus gives us this advice: "Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing..." John 15: 4-5 These words are both comforting and challenging. Jesus is the vine. All nourishment and grace come through Him. We are not used to this kind of dependence. We are used to being free agents, who buy and sell, learn and teach, think and act, seemingly by our own strength and power. We are not used to the idea that we are dependent. We envision our lives on our own terms and power. But how foolish this is. We actually cannot live a day without the help of others, and especially the providence of the Good Lord. Temporal existence is impossible without God, but eternal life is even more out of our hands. We have no power to save ourselves. We are helpless little creatures. And so, Jesus calls us to remain in Him. He offers to us a constant source of support and life-giving aid. If we remain in Jesus, we have life! Jesus alone can nurture us from birth to death to eternal life. He is doing it all the time, though we don't realize it. And so Our Lady tells us: "May the Holy Spirit fill you, little children, with joy so that you may be like a spring of pure and drinkable water; that you, little children, may be, in God and with God, missionaries of love and peace." She calls us to be filled with the Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit unites us to Jesus and the Father in such a way that we can be nourished by them continually. We actually can be so filled that we become like a spring of pure and drinkable water for others! In that way, Jesus can feed and strengthen others through us! This infilling of grace enables us to be missionaries of love and peace. Why? Because God can flow through us to all those who are starving for His love and grace. We can live in God and with God!! We can be united with the Lord in such a way that not only are we fed, but all those we encounter can be fed as well. This is the miracle that Jesus longs to do through us each day. As we stay in Him, remain in Him, we will overflow with grace for all those we meet! God bless us all, and may Jesus and Mary be always with us!! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S.

Jesus, come be my joy!!! May 5, 2026 Dear Family of Mary! The April 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace  "Dear children, I am praying for you and encourage you to a new life, a life in joy and prayer. May the Holy Spirit fill you, little children, with joy so that you may be like a spring of pure and drinkable water; that you, little children, may be, in God and with God, missionaries of love and peace.

(With ecclesiastical approval) "Dear children, I am praying for you and encourage you to a new life, a life in joy and prayer." Our Lady is encouraging us to a new life in joy!! We can have joy in every circumstance, if we ask Jesus to be with us in the midst of it all! Let's pray together today this Litany of Joy! LITANY OF JOY   In the times I am feeling the weight of the Cross… Jesus, come be my joy.   In times of confusion… Jesus come be my joy.   When I am afraid… Jesus come be my joy.  In the times I feel overwhelmed… Jesus come be my joy  In the times when I feel Your peace… Jesus come be my joy  In times of friendship and community… Jesus come be my joy In times of misunderstanding and hurt… Jesus come be my joy  When I am jealous… Jesus come be my joy  When I am angry… Jesus come be my joy  When I want to give up… Jesus come be my joy  When I am fighting temptation… Jesus come be my joy  In times of planning and work… Jesus come be my joy  In times when I am tired… Jesus come be my joy  In times of doubt… Jesus come be my joy  When I cannot see the future ahead of me… Jesus come be my joy  At all times, seasons, and moments in my life… Jesus come be my joy Amen.  Joy is not an emotion. It is a choice.   Written by Colleen Colette  God bless us all and may Jesus and Mary be always with us!! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S.

Mary TV: May 4, 2026 Reflection- ...like a spring of pure and drinkable water!

 

 

...like a spring of pure and drinkable water! May 4, 2026 Dear Family of Mary! The April 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace  "Dear children, I am praying for you and encourage you to a new life, a life in joy and prayer. May the Holy Spirit fill you, little children, with joy so that you may be like a spring of pure and drinkable water; that you, little children, may be, in God and with God, missionaries of love and peace. Your life is short here on earth and that is why I am with you to lead you towards Heaven. Thank you for having responded to my call." (With ecclesiastical approval) Our Lady wants us to be "like a spring of pure and drinkable water"! To be pure water means that there is nothing mixed with the water in its essence. Water is hydrogen and oxygen, but it can become impure through the introduction of metals and contaminants. The good news is that when water is boiled and becomes steam, it loses all impurities. They are left behind in the boiling pot. And when the hydrogen and oxygen cool down and condense, they become pure water, at least for a little bit!! Pure water is very good for us. Nothing in it to gum up the works!! Our Lady wants us to be like a spring of pure and drinkable water! That must mean that our impurities must be removed through the process of repentance, so that there is nothing in us that can cause illness or sickness in another. We have to be pure and drinkable water!! Pure in heart and mind!! The Church offers us a distillation process that can help to remove impurities from our hearts and minds. It is called Confession! Confession is painful because we have to face our sins and bad judgements and confess them to the priest. But in the gentle hands of Jesus, who speaks through our priests, we can be distilled! Purified! Made clean and ready to be a blessing to others. When our sins are absolved by the priest, we are purified!! What a joy it is!! Our Lady desires us to be purified! In her beautiful and simple way, she calls us to be distilled: March 25, 2014 "Dear children! I am calling you anew: begin the battle against sin as in the first days, go to confession and decide for holiness. The love of God will begin to flow through you into the world, peace will begin to rule in your hearts and God's blessing will fill you. I am with you and intercede for all of you before my Son Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call." January 25, 1995 "Dear children! I invite you to open the door of your heart to Jesus as the flower opens itself to the sun. Jesus desires to fill your hearts with peace and joy. You cannot, little children, realize peace if you are not at peace with Jesus. Therefore, I invite you to confession so Jesus may be your truth and peace. So, little children, pray to have the strength to realize what I am telling you. I am with you and I love you. Thank you for having responded to my call." Thank you, dearest Mother, for calling us to purity and freedom! We thank you for your Son, Jesus, because He is the one who can free us from our sins, wash away our impurities and teach us to live in His light and peace! We say "yes"!! We long to be pure and drinkable water for others who need us! God bless us all and may Our Lady be always with us!! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S.
