; Day 6 – Holy Mass on Cross Mountain! August 6, 2026 Dear Family of Mary! On August 6, at 5:00 am, the parish will gather all the young people at the top of Cross Mountain to participate in the final Holy Mass of the Youth Festival. It is a stunning location for Holy Mass. The Priest stands underneath the huge white cross that the Parish erected in 1933 as a memorial of the 1900th anniversary of the Crucifixion of Jesus. There is deep silence as the young people pray. The words of Holy Mass seem to come alive in this setting. The Holy Spirit comes in power! (Mary TV will stream the Mass live. Just go to Marytv.tv and view it on the channel at 5:00 am Medj time!) Indeed, Our Lady has built the prayer program in Medjugorje around Holy Mass. Every day in Medjugorje, the high point is the Evening Mass in St. James Church or, in the summer, behind the Church around the outdoor altar. She wants the Mass to be our spiritual home. It is during the Mass that Jesus can pour out His Spirit upon us, through the Prayers, the Readings, the Consecration, and Holy Communion! It is indeed our Heavenly Banquet on earth! And so it is fitting that the last gathering of the Youth Festival is Holy Mass on Cross Mountain. Here are five messages in which Our Lady speaks to us about Holy Mass. You might use them for meditations between the decades of your Rosary today. They carry heavenly advice!! Friday, March 30, 1984 – To Jelena:”My children, I wish that the holy Mass be for you the gift of the day. Attend it, wish for it to begin. Jesus gives Himself to you during the Mass. Thus, look forward to that moment when you are cleansed. Pray very much so that the Holy Spirit will renew your parish. If people attend Mass with lukewarmness, they will return to their homes cold, and with an empty heart.” May 16, 1985 “Dear children! I am calling you to a more active prayer and attendance at Holy Mass. I wish your Mass to be an experience of God. I wish especially to say to the young people: be open to the Holy Spirit because God wishes to draw you to Himself in these days when satan is at work. Thank you for having responded to my call.” April 3, 1986 “Dear children! I wish to call you to a living of the Holy Mass. There are many of you who have sensed the beauty of the Holy Mass, but there are also those who come unwillingly. I have chosen you, dear children, but Jesus gives you His graces in the Mass. Therefore, consciously live the Holy Mass and let your coming to it be a joyful one. Come to it with love and make the Mass your own. Thank you for having responded to my call.” April 25, 1988 “Dear children! God wants to make you holy. Therefore, through me He is inviting you to complete surrender. Let holy mass be your life. Understand that the church is God’s palace, the place in which I gather you and want to show you the way to God. Come and pray. Neither look at others nor slander them, but rather, let your life be a testimony on the way of holiness. Churches deserve respect and are set apart as holy because God, who became man, dwells in them day and night. Therefore, little children, believe and pray that the Father increase your faith, and then ask for whatever you need. I am with you, and I am rejoicing because of your conversion, and I am protecting you with my motherly mantle. Thank you for having responded to my call.” January 25, 1998 “Dear children! Today again I call all of you to prayer. Only with prayer, dear children, will your heart change, become better, and be more sensitive to the Word of God. Little children, do not permit satan to pull you apart and to do with you what he wants. I call you to be responsible and determined and to consecrate each day to God in prayer. May Holy Mass, little children, not be a habit for you, but life. By living Holy Mass each day, you will feel the need for holiness and you will grow in holiness. I am close to you and intercede before God for each of you, so that He may give you strength to change your heart. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Let us thank the Lord for Holy Mass today! May the Holy Mass be our life!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!Cathy NolanMary TV PS.

Day 5 of the Youth Festival in Medjugorje
Dear Family of Mary!
Yesterday, Day 4, we were blessed with wonderful talks and prayer. The singing was especially animated and beautiful! You could feel the strength of faith and joy in the whole assembly!
It reminded me of this message below. Our Lady has called us to be those who demonstrate and spread love and joy, the very love and joy that we see in the young people! Let this message fill us with hope and purpose:
April 2, 2017
"Dear children,
apostles of my love,
it is up to you to spread the love of my Son
to all those who have not come to know it;
you, the little lights of the world,
whom I am teaching with motherly love
to shine clearly with full brilliance.
Prayer will help you,
because prayer saves you,
prayer saves the world.
Therefore, my children,
pray with words, feelings, merciful love and sacrifice.
My Son has shown you the way -
He who became incarnate
and made of me the first chalice,
with His exalted sacrifice
He has shown you how you need to love.
Therefore, my children,
do not be afraid to speak the truth.
Do not be afraid to change yourself and the world
by spreading love,
by doing everything for my Son to be known and loved
by loving others in Him.
As a mother, I am always with you.
I am imploring my Son to help you
for love to reign in your life -
love that lives,
love that draws,
love which gives life.
I am teaching you such love - pure love.
It is up to you, my apostles,
to recognize it, live it and spread it.
Pray with feeling for your shepherds
so that they can witness my Son with love.
Thank you."
Thank you for responding to Our Lady's call. She is with us in these days with a plan to change the world! Let us stay close to Her side!! Tomorrow is the last full day of the festival!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Day 4 of the Youth Festival in Medjugorje

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
Mary's Shelter | 1601 Princess Anne St. | Fredericksburg, VA 22401 US
