By Judie Brown
Starting with the basic definition of a safe haven, we learn that it is a place where “people who need to escape from a dangerous situation such as a war can go . . . and be protected.” A good example would be a place that protects those suffering from domestic violence or elder abuse.But more recently, a sordid twist on the term has occurred.
In Nevada, Governor Joe Lombardo, a Republican, has signed a bill into law that makes the state a “safe haven for abortion tourism.” This means that anyone can travel to Nevada to kill her baby, no questions asked. As you might expect, I would call this anything but a place where the helpless can flee to be safe when their lives are threatened.
But Governor Lombardo is not concerned with his mangling of the term; he is only concerned with giving women a place to go to kill their own children. And friends, this man is a Catholic!
We felt compelled to make note of this political contradiction, not because it shocked us, but because it pretty much falls in line with the words of March for Life president Jeanne Mancini,who wrote about state laws that place reasonable limits on abortion. In the article, Mancini refers to laws that limit abortion, which begs a question from those of us who learned the truth from the word of God and the fierce public defenders of babies, like Nellie Gray, who founded the March for Life. Nellie’s famous line “not even a little bit of abortion” has apparently been erased from history by those who claim to have followed in her footsteps.
Examples like this, and the opinions of folks like those who live in Louisiana and favor aborting a baby after rape tell us a thing or two about moral backsliding that results in dead people.
Thinking about this should alarm us!
Apparently after 50 years of decriminalized abortion there are some pro-life folks who have decided that politically advocating for a little bit of abortion is the way forward. Such thinking is a real threat to the preborn, the aging, and the infirm.
It reminds me of a speech theme frequently noted by the now-deceased Benedictine priest Paul Marx. During an interview Father Marx said, “Contraception is an enormous evil and the gateway to abortion and all manner of sexual abuse. We now know that if parents contracept, their teenagers will fornicate. But how many American bishops condemn contraception?”
Father Marx asked that question during the 1990s. Since then, the long slide toward regulated killing in America has been consistent and deadly. Between the 1960s when contraception became legal and 2023 when a safe haven has become a place for killing, a great evil has taken hold of this nation.
Turning the clock back is not realistic, but converting those who suffer hardness of heart is more than possible. So as we consider that textbook definition of a safe haven, let us strive to bring our nation to a point where from sea to shining sea, America becomes a safe haven for all human beings, born and preborn.

Mary TV: June 6, 2023 Reflection – Live in humility all the messages which I am giving you.
June 6, 2023Live in humility all the messages which I am giving you. |
 Live in humility all the messages which I am giving you. June 6, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Humility is an illusive virtue. The minute you think about humility it becomes a problem. You either take pride in your humility, or you get angry at your lack of it! Humility happens when we take our eyes off ourselves and love God! When we fall in love with Jesus and live our lives for Him, that is when humility can grow. Our Lady has spoken often about humility in her messages. She longs for us to be humble. She knows what a safety it is to actually be humble! Let’s ponder these five messages from Our Mother as we pray the Rosary, and let her words heal and strengthen our hearts in humility! September 19, 1985 “Dear children! Today I invite you to live in humility all the messages which I am giving you. Do not become arrogant living the messages and saying ‘I am living the messages.’ If you shall bear and live the messages in your heart, everyone will feel it so that words, which serve those who do not obey, will not be necessary. For you, dear children, it is necessary to live and witness by your lives. Thank you for having responded to my call.” November 25, 1988 “Dear children! I call you to prayer, to have an encounter with God in prayer. God gives Himself to you, but He wants you to answer in your own freedom to his invitation. That is why little children during the day, find yourself a special time when you could pray in peace and humility, and have this meeting with God the creator. I am with you and I intercede for you in front of God, so watch in vigil, so that every encounter in prayer be the joy of your contact with God. Thank you for having responded to my call.” April 25, 1996 “Dear children! Today I invite you again to put prayer in the first place in your families. Little children, when God is in the first place, then you will, in all that you do, seek the will of God. In this way your daily conversion will become easier. Little children, seek with humility that which is not in order in your hearts, and you shall understand what you have to do. Conversion will become a daily duty that you will do with joy. Little children, I am with you, I bless you all and I invite you to become my witnesses by prayer and personal conversion. Thank you for having responded to my call.” April 25, 2004 “Dear children! Also today, I call you to live my messages even more strongly in humility and love so that the Holy Spirit may fill you with His grace and strength. Only in this way will you be witnesses of peace and forgiveness. Thank you for having responded to my call.” October 25, 2005 “Little children, believe, pray and love, and God will be near you. He will give you the gift of all the graces you seek from Him. I am a gift to you, because, from day to day, God permits me to be with you and to love each of you with immeasurable love. Therefore, little children, in prayer and humility, open your hearts and be witnesses of my presence. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Mother, thank you for inviting us to live in humility all the messages which you have given us! What a blessing it is for us!

Detail from “The Last Supper” (1631-32) by Peter Paul Rubens [WikiArt.org]
NEW DAILY COMPASS: Pro-abortion superheroes, evil masquerading as good
Members of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), the world’s largest pro-abortion organisation are only capable of giving birth to – since childbirth is their worst enemy – the worst ideas. In order to publicise abortion they have now come up with a campaign in which there are six superheroes committed to spreading the abortion word around the world, that is fighting the enemies of life. These superheroes are called Repro Heroes, that is, superheroes of safe reproduction. Translated: abortion, contraception, and sterilisation. There is even a quiz to find out which superhero you are.
The IPPF portal declares: “Repro Heroes are champions of sexual and reproductive health and rights. Fierce and fearless, you can find them on the frontlines of the fight for safe abortion care, championing climate justice, defending women’s rights and advocating for pleasure-centered sexual health. [sic!] The Repro Heroes have unique superpowers to help propel the fight for equality and rights”.
Let’s review the characteristics of these six free- abortion superheroes. Inaya (superpower: instant healing) provides “life-saving sexual and reproductive health care” to those harmed by man-made natural disasters. Kunyaza (superpower: can assume any gender identity) is “gender fluid”, teaches that pleasure is paramount in sex. Aina (superpower: precognition) is an environmentalist and fights against “land grabbers and extractive industries”. Being able to predict the future, she uses this ability to draw up plans for the spread of abortion in the coming years. Valentina (superpower: flight) argues that “abortion is a health cure. Full stop”. She challenges the “conservative legislators” in Latin America who oppose abortion. Aizha (superpower: supersonic voice) aims to involve young people in pro-choice political campaigns. Zofia (superpower: telepathy) fights against “extreme right-wing movements” and uses her superpower to “read and examine the minds of potential human rights violators”.
It’s easy to comment that once superheroes fought evil to make good triumph while now Repro Heroes do the opposite; that once Superman and Spider-Man saved lives while now Zofia and co snuff them out. However, if you look more closely, there is more. Behind this new gimmick of the pro-choice front lies, albeit perhaps unconsciously, an epic vision of the struggle for the ‘new’ civil rights. The narrative is as follows. There are certain minorities that must be protected: women who want abortions, homo- and transsexual people, women and people of colour, and endangered ecosystems. Conversely, there are the enemies of these fragile social classes: the Catholics, the pro-life and pro-family, the sovereigntists, the conservatives, the fascists, the Caucasian males. It used to be revolutionaries who came to lead the battles for the liberation of these poor people. Now there are superheroes. The IPPF and similar organisations, liberalist and progressive governments, the UN and its agencies, NGOs, environmental lobbies, the likes of Soros and Gates with their foundations, Levantine newspapers and publishing houses, progressive Catholics and theologians present themselves as superheroes defending the weak from the abuses of those who oppose the advance of all things new.
The narrative is obviously a mystification, but it does contain an element of truth: the existence of superpowers. The aforementioned new superheroes are endowed with astounding financial means, immense and universal political powers, and a monopoly on culture in schools, universities, the scientific world, publishing, the arts, the media, social media, and the world of fashion.
Having said all this, Catholics can rest easy. Their Superhero has far greater superpowers than his adversaries and above all he has already vanquished the powers of evil once and for all. Inaya and Kunyaza included.

 (Peace March in Medjugorje, 2022) Be carriers of peace! June 5, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady has often asked us to become “carriers”! She has called us in her messages to be carriers of peace, carriers of her messages, carriers of the Risen Jesus, carriers of love, carriers of the Gospel in your families, carriers of God’s hope, carriers of the Good News, carriers of Light, carriers of the joy of the Risen One, carriers of Truth, etc. What does it mean to be a carrier? Merriam-Webster has this brief definition: 1. : one that carries : bearer, messenger. A carrier is someone who carries something. It could be something they own, or something they are carrying for another. But they carry it from one place to another. And the words that follow, “bearer, messenger” seem to complete the meaning. A carrier is one who bears something from one place to another, or even better a messenger is one who carries a message to someone else. Clearly a carrier is someone who holds something they have received and takes it to others. Our Lady needs us to be those who receive peace and carry it to others, who receive her messages and carry them to others, who receive the Risen Jesus and carry Him to other, those who receive the Gospel and carry it to others, those who receive hope, light, and Good News and carry it to others! This is a the work of every Christian, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and His Love with all we meet by carrying that love, peace, light, hope, joy, and good news to others. If we receive these things but we don’t share them with anyone, if we hide these gifts and graces, they will wither in our hands. We must carry them to all we meet! Our Lady told us: October 25, 1997 “Dear children! Also today I am with you and I call all of you to renew yourselves by living my messages. Little children, may prayer be life for you and may you be an example to others. Little children, I desire for you to become carriers of peace and of God’s joy to today’s world without peace. That is why, little children, pray, pray, pray! I am with you and I bless you with my motherly peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” We need to become carriers. How can we become carriers? By living Mary’s messages, which are given to us as formation in the spiritual life, a formation that trains us to be carriers of the Kingdom! Prayer, Fasting, the Holy Scriptures, Confession, and the Holy Eucharist! The Five Stones prepare us to be carriers of the Kingdom to others. Our Lady’s messages are the key. Read and re-read them, and live them!! Then we will carry them to others through our words, our actions, and our hearts! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!Cathy Nolan(c)Mary TV 2023 Mary TV.

I am here… |
 Mirjana Soldo gazes at Our Lady during an apparition at the Blue Cross (several years ago). Such love!! I am here! June 2, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady gave us a beautiful message 10 years ago on September 2, 2013. In that message she assures us that she is with us. She is near to us, accompanying us on our way, walking with us and praying for us that we will have the strength and courage to live the Gospel, the way of her Son. In Medjugorje, pilgrims experience the presence of Our Lady in a profound way. But it is also a subtle and quiet way. She wraps us with her mantle of love and protection and we begin to relax like a baby that is wrapped in a soft blanket and held tightly in the mother’s arms. This is what happens to us in Medjugorje. We experience the peace of a child with his mother. It is so healing!! Prayerfully read this message and let Mother wrap you in her mantle of love. She wants to comfort us and pray for us to be healed, even if we are not in Medjugorje!! September 2, 2013 “Dear children, I love you all. All of you, all of my children, all of you are in my heart. All of you have my motherly love, and I desire to lead all of you to come to know God’s joy. This is why I am calling you. I need humble apostles who, with an open heart, will accept the Word of God and help others to comprehend the meaning of their life along side God’s word. To be able to do this my children, through prayer and fasting, you must learn to listen with the heart and to learn to keep submitting yourselves. You must learn to keep rejecting |everything that distances you from God’s word and to yearn only for that which draws you closer to it. Do not be afraid. I am here. You are not alone. I am imploring the Holy Spirit to renew and strengthen you. I am imploring the Holy Spirit that, as you help others, you too may be healed. I am imploring Him that, through Him, you may be God’s children and my apostles.” May it be so, may we be God’s children and Mother Mary’s apostles! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

 June Prayer Guide en español  Pray Our Father, 3 Hail Marys, Glory Be Reflect June 24th marks the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade. As we approach this anniversary, we continue to offer thanksgiving to God that states can once again protect the lives of preborn children in law. In God’s profound providence, the Court handed down its historic decision on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and during the month that we also celebrate the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. Since the Dobbs decision, many states have enacted strong pro-life protections. Tragically, other states have drastically expanded abortion access and continue to pursue extreme pro-abortion policies. At this critical moment, whether we reside in states with pro-life or pro-abortion policies, we are presented with new opportunities and responsibilities to continue building a culture that welcomes and celebrates life. Let us each draw close to Christ’s Sacred Heart in the Eucharist and sincerely ask how He is calling us to use our unique gifts for the cause of life. Act (Choose one.) Make a Holy Hour for this month’s intention. Join your heart with Jesus’ Sacred Heart and ask for the virtue of fortitude in working to protect the lives of preborn children. (Pro-life Holy Hours are available at online. Although designed for communal prayer, individuals can also use them for quiet reflection.) Choose one day this week to offer a sacrifice for this month’s intention. Consider abstaining from a favorite food, caffeine, social media, TV, or something else. Offer some other sacrifice or prayer that you feel called to do for this month’s intention. One Step Further Look up your State Catholic conference and sign up for local action alerts: nasccd.org/directory. Did You Know? The parish year of the National Eucharistic Revival kicks off on June 11, the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. This second phase seeks to foster Eucharistic devotion in parishes, strengthening our liturgical life through faithful celebration of the Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, missions and more.

The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Dear Family of Mary!
Today we celebrate the Second Joyful Mystery of the Rosary, that blessed day when Our Lady traveled to the Hill Country to visit her kinswoman, Elizabeth! The Angel Gabriel had told Mary that Elizabeth had conceived in her old age, and that she was in the sixth month. “For nothing is impossible for God!” This great news was a confirmation for Mary of her own call to be the Mother of Jesus. These two courageous women met and the Holy Spirit fell upon them in power and great joy!! Little St. John the Baptist was also anointed with the Holy Spirit and leaped for joy!!
We should bask in the joy of this event, and let the Holy Spirit fall upon us as well! Read these anointed words from the Luke’s Gospel, and receive the Holy Spirit!
Luke 1:39-56
Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said,
“Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.”
And Mary said:
“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;/ my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,/ for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant./ From this day all generations will call me blessed:/ the Almighty has done great things for me,/ and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him/ in every generation./ He has shown the strength of his arm,/ he has scattered the proud in their conceit./ He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,/ and has lifted up the lowly./ He has filled the hungry with good things,/ and the rich he has sent away empty./ He has come to the help of his servant Israel/ for he has remembered his promise of mercy,/ the promise he made to our fathers,/ to Abraham and his children for ever.”
Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home.
Come Holy Spirit!!!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
