Mary TV: March 13, 2018 Reflection - You can do this!!

(c)Mateo Ivankovic 2018 March 13, 2018 Dear Family of Mary! We are in the very middle of Lent! With three more weeks to go I think we all need a pep talk!! Our Lady is the best cheer leader I know. So here are a couple of rousing messages to help us on our way to Easter!   December 02, 2014 "Dear children, Remember - for I am telling you - that love will win. I know that many of you are losing hope because around you, you see suffering, pain, jealousy, envy... but, I am your mother. I am in the Kingdom but am also here with you.  My Son is sending me anew to help you. Therefore, do not lose hope; instead, follow me - because the victory of my heart is in the name of God. My beloved Son is thinking of you as he has always thought of you. Believe him and live him. He is the life of the world.  My children, to live my Son means to live the Gospel. This is not easy. This means love, forgiveness and sacrifice. This purifies and it opens the Kingdom. Sincere prayer, which is not only words but is a prayer which the heart speaks, will help you. Likewise fasting (will help you), because it is still more of love, forgiveness and sacrifice.  Therefore, do not lose hope but follow me. I am imploring you anew to pray for your shepherds so that they may always look to my Son who was the first Shepherd of the world and whose family was the entire world."   November 02, 2015 "Dear children, anew I desire to speak to you about love. I have gathered you around me in the name of my Son according to His will. I desire that your faith be firm, flowing forth from love. Because, those of my children who understand the love of my Son and follow it, live in love and hope. They have come to know the love of God.  Therefore, my children, pray, pray so as to be able to love all the more and to do works of love. Because, faith alone without love and works of love is not what I am asking of you: my children, this is an illusion of faith. It is a boasting of self. My Son seeks faith and works, love and goodness.  I am praying, and I am also asking you to pray, and to live love; because I desire that my Son, when He looks at the hearts of all of my children, can see love and goodness in them and not hatred and indifference.  My children, apostles of my love, do not lose hope, do not lose strength. You can do this. I am encouraging and blessing you. Because all that is of this world, which many of my children, unfortunately, put in the first place, will disappear; and only love and works of love will remain and open the door of the Kingdom of Heaven. I will wait for you at this door. At this door, I desire to welcome and embrace all of my children. Thank you!"   Do not lose hope!!! Do not lose strength!! Love will win!!! Follow me! I will wait for you at [heaven's] door!! You can do this!!!   Yahoo!! We can do it! With our Mother urging us on, we can live love, live for Jesus, live for heaven.   In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: March 12, 2018 Reflection - The one who humbles himself will be exalted.

 

(c)Mateo Ivankovic 2018

 

March 12, 2018

 

Dear Family of Mary!

 

July 2, 2007 "Dear children! In the great love of God, I come to you today to lead you on the way of humility and meekness. The first station on that way, my children, is confession. Reject your arrogance and kneel down before my Son. Comprehend, my children, that you have nothing and you can do nothing. The only thing that you have and that you possess is sin. Be cleansed and accept meekness and humility. My Son could have won with strength, but He chose meekness, humility and love. Follow my Son and give me your hands so that, together, we may climb the mountain* and win. Thank you."

 

"Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted." (Luke 18:14)
(March 10, 2018 homily by Fr. Maximilian, in Medjugorje)

 

Two people went up to pray. Now let us see these two people. Let us identify them. One is a tax collector, which is the symbol of sinfulness. It is a sinful person for the Jew. He works for the Romans, the enemy, for his own riches. The other one is a Pharisee, which would be a righteous person, a religious person. Today as a Christian we would say that he went to church every Sunday, even every day. He prays the Rosary, he fasts. He is doing all, you see.

 

But Jesus gives us the clear understanding that all these practices do not make a person religious. Rather it is an authentic relation to God. And the Pharisee obviously does not have an authentic relation to God, because the center of him is himself. He starts his prayer, "I thank you God..." The tax collector starts his prayer, "Oh God, have mercy on me a sinner..." In that, he is right. He says the truth. He is a sinful person. But he confesses his sin with honesty. And honesty in prayer is so essential that it determines if our prayer comes to God, touches the heart of God or not.

 

For if God asks us to forgive, seventy times seven, He forgives infinity more. His joy is to forgive. And therefore if we honestly confess our sins, He always forgives, He always justifies us. He went home justified, in his honesty.

 

But in our prayer we have to look to God. We have to put our prayers before God and not before ourselves as the Pharisee does. And pride in ourselves, it is astonishing how common this is, to put ourselves in the center and to pride ourselves in our talents. One may say "I may not be as rich as the others, I might not be as powerful as the others, but I am more clever, more bright. So there is always the possibility to put ourselves before others, to compare ourselves with others, and to put ourselves above others.

 

It becomes even, for our Western society, a virtue. Pride becomes a virtue. We are number one! We are the champions! Just look at the Olympic Games. Everything is arranged to beat the others, to be faster.

 

Erich Fromm, who is a psychologist and philosopher, says it is a pagan attitude, paganism entered into our society, when we again introduced the Olympic games back into our society. And we are all there looking. And if our man runs a millisecond faster than the other, we are all happy. We are strong. We are good.

 

If you look honestly into it, it is quite naïve. If little children do it, we can understand it. But if adults do it and spend millions on it, it becomes actually embarrassing. Where are we as humanity? Erich Fromm said instead of Olympic Games we should have the Passion Play, which we do together, with singing and dancing, with instruments, all together, praising God. We should put God in the center. But today, man is in the center.

 

And after original sin, we know how it went with Cain and Abel. When we don't have God anymore before us, when we hide from God, then we can't see the face of God anymore in our brothers and sisters. And we become afraid before them. They become our rivals. They are our competition, they become our enemies.

 

Our future generations will speak about these attitudes we have today, not only the Olympic Games which are still quite innocent, but we reach so far as to create bombs to destroy one another. All this because we don't put God in the center in our lives. This has incredible repercussions for humanity.

 

So our first effort should be to put ourselves before God, because there starts humility. The saints as they went before God, never prided themselves with the talents they received. But as God drew them closer to His love, His Heart, they saw all their imperfections. For when the light grows, the dark spots are more clearly seen. And they humbled themselves before God, but not focusing on the dark spots but offering them to God with all humility. Humility is the most important virtue that we in our spiritual life have to develop before God. Because only then He can take us and press us to His Heart, to His bosom.  He exalts the humble and humbles the proud.

 

We should get that lesson, we should ask for that lesson from Mary, today on Saturday. She how felt she was always the least of all, that she may teach us true humility. We should learn to put ourselves last first of all before God, that we may learn (as she says in her messages here) to see the face of Jesus in everyone that we encounter.

 

This needs a deep relation with God. This needs not just a little prayer in the morning, but hours of prayer every day. So God becomes the most important person in my life. My great love, my joy, that I am looking forward to be with Him. Then we can become that yeast, that true Christianity. Not like these Pharisees who try by themselves to be better, but true Christians who will form society by their simply being. Because they will be a place of God, where God will be present in them and through them. So they will bring whole dough to rise, and bring all of humanity to a new stage of life which will not be any more pride about ourselves and the talents God has given us with His great love, but together we will glorify God, who in His great merciful love has forgiven us all our sins and has raised us up. And raised us up continuously. Each one of us and all humanity wants to raise up to the new life of Christ.

Mary TV: March 9, 2018 Reflection - The Gift of Love

(c)Mateo Ivankovic 2018   March 9, 2018 St. Frances of Rome Dear Family of Mary!    "Oh, apostles of my love, how much my motherly heart loves you. How many things I desire to teach you. How my motherly heart desires that you be complete, and you can be complete only when your soul, body and love are united within you." (March 2, 2018)   The Theological Virtue of Love! Here is the summit of God's gifts. Love is everything. The Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us: 1822 Charity is the theological virtue by which we love God above all things for his own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God.   Of course this is the command of Jesus we all know so well:    And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, to test him. "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets." (Mt 22:35-40)   So what is Jesus telling us about love? "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment." Doesn't this sound very much like what Our Lady tells us about her desire for us? She desires that we be complete. But we can only be complete "when [our] soul, body and love are united within [us]."   Both Jesus and Mary are telling us we must love the Father with all our heart, all our soul and all our mind. We must unite all our faculties and our entire body in the great desire to love God above all else. This is how we can become complete. We are complete in our total love for God. And when we are complete, when we are united within by love of God, then we will find everything we ever hoped for. We will find peace, hope, joy, freedom, purpose, and the ability to love our neighbor. Our Lady models this completeness to us. Her messages are leading us in that direction. She wants us to find the end for which we were created, God! She is staying with us now until we all do find Him, and love Him to distraction! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2018 PS.

Mary TV: March 8, 2018 Reflection - The Gift of Hope

(c)Mateo Ivankovic 2018   March 8, 2018   Dear Family of Mary! The second Theological Virtue that Our Lady speaks to us about in the March 2, 2018 message is Hope. Here is what she tells us: "...My children, I am with you in life, in suffering, in pain, in joy and in love. Therefore, have hope. It is hope that makes you comprehend that life is there. My children, I am speaking to you, my voice is speaking to your soul, my heart is speaking to your heart..." (March 2, 2018) These words from Our Lady are so very comforting. She tells us she is with each one of us at every moment of our life. No matter what we are experiencing, she is there. If we are suffering and in pain she is there, as she was for her Son, Jesus. Completely united with us, suffering with us, praying for us, encouraging us. When we are joyful, she is there, rejoicing in our happiness and offering it to the Father. When we love, she is loving in us, and through us. Her presence is for us a reason to hope! Why is hope important? Like Faith, Hope rests on our trust in Jesus, our trust in the Father who created us. Hope tells us that life is real, and that we are made to live...to live forever with God. Here is the definition of Hope found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, n.1817: 1817 Hope is the theological virtue by which we desire the kingdom of heaven and eternal life as our happiness, placing our trust in Christ's promises and relying not on our own strength, but on the help of the grace of the Holy Spirit. Hope gives us the desire for the Kingdom of Heaven. Hope tells us that eternal life is real and is intended for our happiness. Hope assures us that though we are weak, God will find the way for us to arrive in the Heavenly Kingdom He has created for us! The Holy Spirit will guide us and help us with His graces. And I believe that in this day, Our Lady is the grace-bearer from the Holy Spirit, sent to bring us home. That is why she continues: "My children, I am speaking to you, my voice is speaking to your soul, my heart is speaking to your heart." Our Lady's voice is speaking to us, whispering words of encouragement and strength. She is the voice of the Spirit, speaking to our soul with words of light. Her heart speaks to each of our hearts with words of love, of comfort, of truth. Her heart is united with our hearts, in love. Our Lady is the grace of the Holy Spirit for us in these days. She is with us to keep hope alive. We do need Our Lady. If ever there was an age without hope, it is our age. With Faith almost nonexistent in many of our cultures, hope becomes weak. With no God, there is no future to hope in. We can become hope for others, if we allow Our Lady's words in our hearts and souls to take root. We can become hope for others just as she is hope for us. May it be so! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: March 7, 2018 Reflection - The Gift of Faith

 (c)Mateo Ivankovic 2018

 

March 7, 2018
St. Perpetua and St. Felicity

Dear Family of Mary!

In the March 2 message Our Lady speaks to us of the three Theological Virtues: Faith, Hope and Love. She speaks of them in the most practical of ways. For instance, here is what she says about faith:

 

Everything is easier alongside Him [the Father]. Also, pain lived with Him is easier because faith exists. Faith helps in the pain, and pain without faith leads to despair. Pain lived and offered to God raises up. Did my Son not redeem the world through His painful sacrifice? As His mother I was with Him in the pain and suffering, as I am with all of you. My children, I am with you in life, in suffering, in pain, in joy and in love...(March 2, 2018)

Our Lady tells us that life lived with God is always easier. Everything in life contains challenges, suffering, pain, disappointment, fear. But those things are mitigated by our relationship to the Father. Indeed, Our Lady tells us that even pain is easier when endured with the Father because faith exists. When we have a relationship with the Heavenly Father, we receive faith as a gift. That faith helps us to see everything with different eyes. What could seem to be impossible, endlessly difficult, can become "easier" to bear when we have faith. Indeed, when we offer our pain up to God, it becomes joy, according to Our Lady. It raises us up!!

 

We believe that God exists, and that He has promised many things that will happen in the future. These promises, these truths, give us a context in which to understand our difficulties and pains, and that context helps us bear our difficulties. When we have faith in God we have a strength to live that rises above our difficulties.

 

The Catechism of the Catholic Church describes the Gift of Faith like this:

1814 Faith is the theological virtue by which we believe in God and believe all that he has said and revealed to us, and that Holy Church proposes for our belief, because he is truth itself. By faith "man freely commits his entire self to God."

By faith we commit ourselves entirely to God. We believe that He exists, that He is personally involved in our lives and that He has a wonderful plan for our future. When we have this faith we can give ourselves over to God in a profound way. Then we can face our realities, our pains and sufferings, with a confidence that all will be well, because God is involved, He loves us.
Faith makes everything bearable. Faith makes sense of everything. God exists! And He loves us!
Our Lady continues in the message to tell us that our faith will reveal to us that Jesus saved us by his painful sacrifice. And He gave us Mary as our Mother to be with us in our pains and sacrifices. Her motherly presence is a sign of God's love, and a reason to continue to believe. Our faith is bolstered by Her presence in our lives.
So the Virtue and Gift of Faith is something to be treasured and lived. "Everything is easier alongside Him!" Faith enables us to live alongside God!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: March 6, 2018 Reflection - Five First Saturdays

(c)Mateo Ivankovic 2018   March 6, 2018   Dear Family of Mary! "...Oh, apostles of my love, how much my motherly heart loves you. How many things I desire to teach you. How my motherly heart desires that you be complete..." (March 2, 2018) Our Lady is our Mother. She really is. Jesus gave her to us from the Cross. She is our Mother!   Last Saturday (March 3) was First Saturday. The 5 First Saturday devotion is such a blessing. Lucia of Fatima received this request. Here is a very brief description of the devotion:   The "Five First Saturdays Devotion."    The Blessed Virgin Mary said she would "assist at the hour of death, with the graces necessary for salvation," all those who fulfilled the Five First Saturdays Devotion.    There are 4 things you must do -and you must do each of them on the First Saturday of 5 months in a row:    1.Go to Confession 2.Receive Holy Communion 3.Pray 5 Decades of the rosary 4."Keep her company" for 15 minutes by meditating on the mysteries of the rosary with the intention of offering reparation to her. This is a separate prayer time from praying the rosary, though.   This devotion seems so simple, but it becomes a great desire for those who practice it. I received a witness from one of our shipmates about her completion of the Five First Saturdays Devotion just this past weekend: Today I finished my fifth First Saturday Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. No more eternal hell for this kid. How grateful I am... but not grateful enough. I asked the Blessed Mother before going up to Communion today if She would receive Jesus for me and be thankful for me because I know alone I can't give Him all that He deserves. I knew for certain at that moment that She always has been thankful for me when I could not be. My whole life She has been there. Not a moment have I been alone. When I meditated for 15 minutes on the rosary all I could think of was... Well... First mystery: She said yes for me. Second mystery: She gave thanks for me. Third mystery: She let me kiss Baby Jesus and brought Him over to me. Fourth Mystery: She presented me to the Father. Fifth mystery: She found Jesus for me when I lost Him. She not only was with me during all the suffering in my life but also suffered along with me. She holds me in Her arms. Teaches me to pray to the Holy Spirit. Never did She die and leave me. She is Queen of all of me. And I am Hers forever. Really - I have the thought that She makes everything I offer perfect for Jesus -that way I don't have to worry about my weakness, I can forget myself and just be radiantly joyful. She connects me to the love between the Father and the Son. I am very much welcomed and a part [of them], forever. Amen Traci Well, who wouldn't want such graces and fruits as these! Every First Saturday is a great opportunity to draw closer to Our Lady, make reparation to her heart for all the disrespect and faithlessness directed towards her, and meditate on Our Lady's mysteries. She has always been Our Mother, Mother for each one of us! We are so blessed.   In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: March 5, 2018 Reflection - Great are the works that the Heavenly Father has done in me.

(c)Mateo Ivankovic 2018   March 5, 2018   Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady said to us on March 2:   Dear children, great are the works that the Heavenly Father has done in me, as He does in all those who love Him tenderly and who faithfully and devoutly serve Him. My children, the Heavenly Father loves you, and it is through His love that I am here with you. He is speaking to you. Why do you not desire to see the signs? Everything is easier alongside Him. (March 2, 2018)   These are the words of the Woman who spoke the "Magnificat" in response to the greeting of Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist! "Great are the works that the Heavenly Father has done in me..."   And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord,  and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,  for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden.  For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed;  for he who is mighty has done great things for me,  and holy is his name.  And his mercy is on those who fear him  from generation to generation. (Luke 1:46-50   Our Lady is a woman of faith. She saw the signs of the Father's love at work in her life, and was always in awe at His presence and powerful love for her. She lived in constant awareness of the Father's nearness and creative work in her life. She was never far from this awareness. And so she understood the message of St. Gabriel to be the Father's invitation to be the Mother of His Son. And she said 'yes' with no hesitation.   Now she is calling us to live with that same awareness. "My children, the Heavenly Father loves you, and it is through His love that I am here with you. He is speaking to you. Why do you not desire to see the signs?" Our Lady is amazed that we don't understand that, like St. Gabriel was sent to her by the Father, so she has been sent to us by the Father. She is the sign we should be recognizing and responding to. She is with us to speak to us in the Father's name. He speaks to us through Mary in these days. Why? Because He loves us and we need Him!   The Father has drawn very near to us in these days of grace, to enact an amazing plan, a plan to deliver us from the evils of our day. He has sent Our Lady to announce this deliverance, and to show us the way. We have only to listen to her and respond. She is the sign. She is teaching us to live alongside the Father. We must need Him desperately, if He sends us Mary.   And so let us say 'yes' to the Father. Let us listen to his messenger, Mary, and live in His grace and will. If we do we will also see these promises fulfilled:   He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts, he has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree; he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity forever." (Luke 1: 51-55)   If we "...love Him tenderly and [] faithfully and devoutly serve Him", we will see Jesus' Heart win the victory over His enemies, and the Kingdom of the Father will be established on earth. All that once terrified us will vanish, and God's love with reign over us, like dew from heaven. With faith in the Father we will be able to endure and conquer with Him, in Jesus' Name and by the power of the Holy Spirit. If we sing our gratitude to the Lord, it will open the way to His victory. He loves His lowly ones, and raises them up!   In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2018

Mary TV: March 2, 2018 Reflection - "Your souls tremble with joy!"

(c)Mateo Ivankovic 2018   March 2, 2018 Dear Family of Mary! Today we anticipate another message from Our Lady through Mirjana. Let's take a look at the last message we received through Mirjana as we await Our Lady's coming! This message, February 2, was extraordinary! I feel it was a love letter to us all: Our Lady's message to Mirjana Soldo of February 2nd, 2018 Dear children, you whom my Son loves, you whom I love with an immeasurable motherly love, do not permit for selfishness, for self-love, to rule the world. Do not permit for love and goodness to be hidden. You who are loved, who have come to know the love of my Son, remember that to be loved means to love. My children, have faith. When you have faith you are happy and are spreading peace; your soul trembles with joy. My Son is in such a soul. When you are giving yourself for the faith, when you are giving yourself for love, when you are doing good to your neighbor, my Son smiles in your soul. Apostles of my love, I am turning to you as a mother. I am gathering you around myself and I desire to lead you on the way of love and faith, on the way which leads to the light of the world. I am here for the sake of love, for the sake of faith, because with my motherly blessing I desire to give you hope and strength on your way - because the way which leads to my Son is not easy. It is full of renunciation, giving, sacrifice, forgiveness and much, much love. But this way leads to peace and happiness. My children, do not believe lying voices which speak to you about false things, false glitter. You, my children, return to the Scripture. I am looking at you with immeasurable love, and through God's grace am making myself evident to you. My children, set out with me. May your soul tremble with joy. Thank you. I especially like the second paragraph, when she says: "When you have faith you are happy and are spreading peace: your soul trembles with joy!" I wonder if this trembling has something to do with the presence of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Remember the story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus? After spending the day walking with a stranger (Jesus) they break bread with Him, and He disappears! Then they remember this: "They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?"(Luke 24: 32) Jesus' presence, His words, had a deep effect on their hearts. They burned! Maybe they trembled a bit! Our Lady tells us when we have faith, when we spread peace, our souls tremble with joy! This trembling is probably the effect of the presence of Jesus, of His Spirit, welcomed into our hearts and souls by our faith! Well, we know that when Our Lady comes, many souls tremble with joy in Medjugorje. Let's anticipate her coming with our hearts on fire, our souls burning with love for her and for her Son, Jesus! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2018

Mary TV: March 1, 2018 Reflection - What should we carry in our hearts?

(c)Mateo Ivankovic 2018   March 1, 2018 Dear Family of Mary! During the Daily Rosary yesterday, we talked about the things we carry in our hearts. Our Lady has talked about carrying things in our hearts quite often. She has some ideas of what we should be carrying. She also knows the things we should chuck out of our hearts as quickly as possible! Here is a message in which she spoke about clearing our hearts:   June 2, 2010 "Dear Children; Today I call you with prayer and fasting to clear the path in which my Son will enter into your hearts. Accept me as a mother and a messenger of God's love and His desire for your salvation. Free yourself of everything from the past which burdens you, that gives you a sense of guilt, that which previously led you astray in error and darkness. Accept the light. Be born anew in the righteousness of my Son. Thank you." She wants us to make a clear path for Jesus into our hearts. But our hearts can look like a storage shed or a cluttered basement in which many things have been stored. Things of the past! Burdens like unforgiveness, resentment, rejection and hatred. Guilt which lingers because of our unforgiven sins. Things that we cling to that lead us astray, into more sin. Junk!   Clearing out our hearts takes courage. But once we begin it can become wonderful! Confession of course is the answer. At Jesus' feet in Confession, we can get the help we need to clear away the junk.   But once it is clean, what should we carry in our hearts? That was what we discovered during the Daily Rosary. Our Lady has given us several things to carry in our hearts:   1. Carry the Word of God in our hearts! (Read and live Sacred Scripture)   August 25, 1996 "Dear children! Listen, because I wish to speak to you and to invite you to have more faith and trust in God, who loves you immeasurably. Little children, you do not know how to live in the grace of God, that is why I call you all anew, to carry the word of God in your heart and in thoughts. Little children, place the Sacred Scripture in a visible place in your family, and read and live it. Teach your children, because if you are not an example to them, children depart into godlessness. Reflect and pray and then God will be born in your heart and your heart will be joyous. Thank you for having for responded to my call."   2. Carry Peace in your heart! (Peace which comes from putting God in the first place)   December 25, 1997 "Dear children! Also today I rejoice with you and I call you to the good. I desire that each of you reflect and carry peace in your heart and say: I want to put God in the first place in my life. In this way, little children, each of you will become holy. Little children, tell everyone, I want the good for you and he will respond with the good and, little children, good will come to dwell in the heart of each man. Little children, tonight I bring to you the good of my Son who gave His life to save you. That is why, little children, rejoice and extend your hands to Jesus who is only good. Thank you for having responded to my call." 3. Carry the Victory of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in your heart! August 25, 2000 "Dear children! I desire to share my joy with you. In my Immaculate Heart I feel that there are many of those who have drawn closer to me and are, in a special way, carrying the victory of my Immaculate Heart in their hearts by praying and converting. I desire to thank you and to inspire you to work even more for God and His kingdom with love and the power of the Holy Spirit. I am with you and I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."   4. Carry Our Lady's Joy in your hearts. (Let Jesus be born in your heart - Mary's Joy!)   December 25, 2000 "Dear children! Today when God granted to me that I can be with you, with little Jesus in my arms, I rejoice with you and I give thanks to God for everything He has done in this Jubilee year. I thank God especially for all the vocations of those who said 'yes' to God completely. I bless you all with my blessing and the blessing of the newborn Jesus. I pray for all of you for joy to be born in your hearts so that in joy you too carry the joy I have today. In this Child I bring to you the Savior of your hearts and the One who calls you to the holiness of life. Thank you for having responded to my call."   5. Carry God's love in your heart!   April 25, 2008 "Dear children! Also today, I call all of you to grow in God's love as a flower which feels the warm rays of spring. In this way, also you, little children, grow in God's love and carry it to all those who are far from God. Seek God's will and do good to those whom God has put on your way, and be light and joy. Thank you for having responded to my call." If our hearts are full of these beautiful things, there will be no room for junk anymore! We will walk in the light of God's love and bring it to all we meet. No more odious burdens! No more sin and unforgiveness! Only God's love and His peace and joy. Only the Victory of Our Lady's heart!! That is what we want to find in our hearts forever! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2018
