Dear Family of Mary!

“Dear children! In this peaceless time in which the devil is harvesting souls to draw them to himself, I am calling you to persevering prayer, so that in prayer you discover the God of love and hope. Little children, take the Cross in your hands. May it be your encouragement for love to always win, in a special way now when the Cross and faith are rejected. You be a reflection and an example with your lives that faith and hope are still alive and a new world of peace is possible. I am with you and intercede for you before my Son, Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (July 25, 2020)

Our Lady calls us to take the Cross in our hand so that it will be an encouragement for love to always win!! If you read this message closely, she wants us to find the way to win over the devil and foil his plans through our love and hope. She is Our Lady of Victory! And she plans to win in this final fight with the enemy.

She tells us: “You be a reflection and an example with your lives that faith and hope are still alive and a new world of peace is possible.” She plans on winning, and we should too! 

I found this amazing Litany of Our Lady of Victories, written by Pope Pius XI, inspired by the victories that Our Lady had procured at Lepanto in the 1500’s. Let’s pray it today, as an encouragement to our tired souls. Our Mother is the Victorious Queen of Heaven and Earth! She will not retreat! And she is going to win with us by her side.

O Holy Mother of God:
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who,
fled to Thy protection,
implored Thy help,
and sought Thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence,
I fly unto Thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To Thee I come; before Thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate! despise not my petitions,
but in Thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.


In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: July 28, 2020 Reflection: Persevering prayer






Persevering prayer

Dear Family of Mary!

Matthew 13:36-43

Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples approached him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.” He said in reply, “He who sows good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world, the good seed the children of the Kingdom. The weeds are the children of the Evil One, and the enemy who sows them is the Devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. Just as weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his Kingdom all who cause others to sin and all evildoers. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears ought to hear.”

This Gospel for today has always sent shivers down my spine. Good seed, bad seed, harvest at the end of the age, and fiery furnaces…Truly this is a picture of the end times. Our Lady used the word “harvest” in her July 25, 2020 Message.  She may have had this passage in mind:

“Dear children! In this peaceless time in which the devil is harvesting souls to draw them to himself, I am calling you to persevering prayer, so that in prayer you discover the God of love and hope…” (July 25, 2020)

Mother Mary must see that the end of the age is near. That is why Satan is harvesting souls for damnation. It is time to gather his prey into his fiery furnace. And this must also be why she is calling us to prayer. We must discover the God of love and hope, and grasp His loving hand, so we can be led into His Kingdom.

Increasingly we see only two possibilities for the world and for each person in the world. We can let Satan draw us unto himself, or we can choose to draw close to God. In the first case, we become attracted by all the false “goods” that the enemy waves before our eyes and become ensnared in his traps. In the second, we see God in all his beauty and love, and decide to seek after Him, to find Him. 

The first way takes away our freedom, little by little. The more we lust after the enemy’s stuff, the more powerless we become, unable to choose otherwise until we are cut down and thrown into the fire. 


The second way depends upon our freedom. God never coerces us or forces us in anything. He only presents Himself to us, bloodied and broken, hanging from a cross, showing us how much He loves us. In that moment we begin to realize how very much we are loved, and our hearts desire to be one with the lover of men. We choose in freedom, to join Him in the love that brings hope. It is then that we will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of the Father. 

It is important not to shy away from recognizing the end times that are upon us. We do not know how long the time will be, but we do know how to win through to Glory! We must fall deeply in love with Jesus, and long for Him in prayer. We must surrender ourselves to God, with total trust. We must freely choose to follow Jesus on His way of the Cross, and fear nothing. In this way, our end times will result in the joy of Heaven. 

Let’s pray, pray, pray, as Our Lady asks. Through prayer we will discover the God of hope and love!!!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: July 27, 2020 Relection: If God is for us, Who is against us?







If God is for us, who is against us?

Dear Family of Mary!

“Dear children! In this peaceless time in which the devil is harvesting souls to draw them to himself, I am calling you to persevering prayer, so that in prayer you discover the God of love and hope. Little children, take the Cross in your hands. May it be your encouragement for love to always win, in a special way now when the Cross and faith are rejected. You be a reflection and an example with your lives that faith and hope are still alive and a new world of peace is possible. I am with you and intercede for you before my Son, Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (July 25, 2020)

As Denis and I were praying yesterday after we received this message, we opened the Bible at random, asking the Holy Spirit for a passage from Scripture that might help us to understand more fully what Our Lady was saying to us! And we opened to Romans 8: 18-39. It is a very famous section of St. Paul’s Letter to the Romans. I could read it over and over. It helps us to understand how to view our present sufferings, in relation to the Cross and Victory of Jesus. Our Lady said that we need to discover the God of love and hope through prayer. And to take the Cross in our hands and be encouraged!! That is exactly what St. Paul was exhorting his fellow Christians to do as they faced the persecution of the Romans. Such beautiful words!! I encourage us all to read and reread this passage, as we pray. It may change our tired hearts into hearts on fire with love and hope!

St. Paul’s Letter to the Romans, 8: 18-39 :

I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God; for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God.

We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved.

Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words.

And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first-born among many brethren. And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified.

What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him?

Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies; who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us?

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, "For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8: 18-39)

Amen! Amen! We are more than conquerors through him who loved us!!!! We can be a reflection and an example with our lives that faith and hope are still alive and a new world of peace is possible!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

July 26, 2020 Update from Denis: Little children, take the Cross in your hands…




(c) Mary TV


July 26, 2020

Dear Shipmates!

Our Mother called to us yesterday:

“Dear children! In this peaceless time in which the devil is harvesting souls to draw them to himself, I am calling you to persevering prayer, so that in prayer you discover the God of love and hope. Little children, take the Cross in your hands. May it be your encouragement for love to always win, in a special way now when the Cross and faith are rejected. You be a reflection and an example with your lives that faith and hope are still alive and a new world of peace is possible. I am with you and intercede for you before my Son, Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (July 25, 2020)

St. Maximilian Kolbe, “the Patron for these difficult times” reminded the Church: “The Immaculate alone has from God the promise of victory over Satan. She seeks souls that will consecrate themselves entirely to her, that will become in her hands forceful instruments for the defeat of Satan.”  

The real, living, breathing Blessed Mother here with us has warned: “Satan wants to destroy my plan. Here I began with this parish and invited the entire world. Many have responded, but there is an enormous number of those who do not want to hear or accept my call. Therefore, you who have said 'yes', be strong and resolute.” (August 25, 2011). 

...And in a message five years ago:

"Dear children! Also today the Most High permits me to be with you and to lead you on the way of conversion. Many hearts have shut themselves to grace and have become deaf to my call. You, little children, pray and fight against temptation and all the evil plans which the devil offers you through modernism. Be strong in prayer and with the cross in your hands pray that evil may not use you and may not conquer in you. I am with you and pray for you. Thank you for having responded to my call." (March 25, 2015)

...and last July 25th:

"Dear children! My call for you is prayer. May prayer be a joy for you and a wreath which binds you to God. Little children, trials will come and you will not be strong, and sin will reign but, if you are mine, you will win, because your refuge will be the Heart of my Son Jesus. Therefore, little children, return to prayer until prayer becomes life for you in the day and the night. Thank you for having responded to my call." (July 25, 2019)

“If you are mine, you will win!”

Let’s pay closer attention to her call. “My children, listen to me, I speak for your salvation... Again, little children, I call you not to be deaf to comprehend my call which is salvation for you!”

Heaven is sending her. It is serious!

God bless you!
