Jesus, come be my joy!!!

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. 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) "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.

How did St. Joseph serve God?

Today, the Church celebrates St. Joseph the Worker. While his primary feast day is March 19, in 1955 Pope Pius XII added a second day on May 1, celebrated as the Memorial of St. Joseph the Worker.      Joseph was an ordinary man who worked with his hands. Yet he cooperated in an extraordinary way in God’s Divine plan for salvation.   Joseph was unfailingly obedient to God’s commands. When the angel told St. Joseph not to be afraid to bring Mary, his espoused wife, into his home, he obeyed. When he was warned to escape to Egypt, he obeyed. He continually provided for his family and protected them—even in the face of great danger.    Even though he was not the father of Jesus biologically, St. Joseph was a devoted father to the Word Incarnate, taking the place on earth of His Father in Heaven.   Joseph taught Jesus by example the importance of human work. Joseph’s actions showed love and responsibility through his labor and in his service of protecting and providing for the Holy Family. As patron saint of the Universal Church, St. Joseph continues his service to God and His Church. It’s comforting to know he is praying for us, interceding on our behalf, and watching over us. We encourage you to read our special page dedicated to the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker, where we answer questions such as: Why is St. Joseph the Worker on May 1? What can we learn from St. Joseph? What does St. Joseph help with?  Why is St. Joseph the sleeping saint?  On the page, we also offer a free eBook, Ora Et Labora (Pray and Work), to help you draw closer to Our Lord and grow in appreciation for the purpose and dignity of our daily work. VISIT THE PAGE We pray this page and eBook will help increase your trust in God’s Divine Providence and give you peace amid the world’s chaos and uncertainty.   In Christ,   Your EWTN Family   Copyright © 2026 EWTN, Inc. 5817 Old Leeds Rd, Irondale, AL, 35210.
