The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

My Soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord!

May 31, 2023

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!

I am calling you to go into nature…

May 30, 2023
Dear Family of Mary!

“Dear children! I am calling you to go into nature and to pray for the Most High to speak to your heart and that you may feel the power of the Holy Spirit so as to witness the love which God has for every creature. I am with you and intercede for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (May 25, 2023)

Our Lady has often spoken about the importance of going out into nature, of spending time in the natural world that God created for us. We live in a scientific age, and we may think that all the trees and plants and animals evolved randomly. But we believe that God designed all Creation for His own glory and to provide for us. It is really important that we have the right understanding of creation. With that right understanding, we will see God’s love everywhere, and place all our trust in Him!!
Here is a chapter from the Catechism of the Catholic Church. This is a good way to begin to understand the glory and providence of creation. Nature will speak about God to us!! (Here is the link to the chapter from the Vatican Website if that is easier for you to read. Also the footnotes will be available: https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P1A.HTM

II. THE VISIBLE WORLD
337 God himself created the visible world in all its richness, diversity and order. Scripture presents the work of the Creator symbolically as a succession of six days of divine “work”, concluded by the “rest” of the seventh day.204 On the subject of creation, the sacred text teaches the truths revealed by God for our salvation,205 permitting us to “recognize the inner nature, the value and the ordering of the whole of creation to the praise of God.”206
338 Nothing exists that does not owe its existence to God the Creator. the world began when God’s word drew it out of nothingness; all existent beings, all of nature, and all human history are rooted in this primordial event, the very genesis by which the world was constituted and time begun.207
339 Each creature possesses its own particular goodness and perfection. For each one of the works of the “six days” it is said: “and God saw that it was good.” “By the very nature of creation, material being is endowed with its own stability, truth and excellence, its own order and laws.”208 Each of the various creatures, willed in its own being, reflects in its own way a ray of God’s infinite wisdom and goodness. Man must therefore respect the particular goodness of every creature, to avoid any disordered use of things which would be in contempt of the Creator and would bring disastrous consequences for human beings and their environment.
340 God wills the interdependence of creatures. the sun and the moon, the cedar and the little flower, the eagle and the sparrow: the spectacle of their countless diversities and inequalities tells us that no creature is self-sufficient. Creatures exist only in dependence on each other, to complete each other, in the service of each other.
341 The beauty of the universe: the order and harmony of the created world results from the diversity of beings and from the relationships which exist among them. Man discovers them progressively as the laws of nature. They call forth the admiration of scholars. the beauty of creation reflects the infinite beauty of the Creator and ought to inspire the respect and submission of man’s intellect and will.
342 The hierarchy of creatures is expressed by the order of the “six days”, from the less perfect to the more perfect. God loves all his creatures209 and takes care of each one, even the sparrow. Nevertheless, Jesus said: “You are of more value than many sparrows”, or again: “of how much more value is a man than a sheep!”210
343 Man is the summit of the Creator’s work, as the inspired account expresses by clearly distinguishing the creation of man from that of the other creatures.211
344 There is a solidarity among all creatures arising from the fact that all have the same Creator and are all ordered to his glory: May you be praised, O Lord, in all your creatures, especially brother sun, by whom you give us light for the day; he is beautiful, radiating great splendor, and offering us a symbol of you, the Most High. . .
May you be praised, my Lord, for sister water, who is very useful and humble, precious and chaste.May you be praised, my Lord, for sister earth, our mother, who bears and feeds us, and produces the variety of fruits and dappled flowers and grasses. . . Praise and bless my Lord, give thanks and serve him in all humility.212
345 The sabbath – the end of the work of the six days. the sacred text says that “on the seventh day God finished his work which he had done”, that the “heavens and the earth were finished”, and that God “rested” on this day and sanctified and blessed it.213 These inspired words are rich in profitable instruction:
346 In creation God laid a foundation and established laws that remain firm, on which the believer can rely with confidence, for they are the sign and pledge of the unshakeable faithfulness of God’s covenant.214 For his part man must remain faithful to this foundation, and respect the laws which the Creator has written into it.
347 Creation was fashioned with a view to the sabbath and therefore for the worship and adoration of God. Worship is inscribed in the order of creation.215 As the rule of St. Benedict says, nothing should take precedence over “the work of God”, that is, solemn worship.216 This indicates the right order of human concerns.
348 The sabbath is at the heart of Israel’s law. To keep the commandments is to correspond to the wisdom and the will of God as expressed in his work of creation.
349 The eighth day. But for us a new day has dawned: the day of Christ’s Resurrection. The seventh day completes the first creation. the eighth day begins the new creation. Thus, the work of creation culminates in the greater work of redemption. the first creation finds its meaning and its summit in the new creation in Christ, the splendor of which surpasses that of the first creation.217

I am calling you to go into nature and to pray for the Most High to speak to your heart and that you may feel the power of the Holy Spirit!!!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

A 15-week Phantom “Ban” is no “Ban” at all

“Top anti-abortion leaders are continuing to lobby Donald Trump on a 15- week ban they believe should be the standard for Republican Party” began a story in the May 18 issue of Politico. A similar story ran in the same day in the Washington Post.

These are not publications sympathetic to pro-lifers. How happy are they that a 15-week “ban” on abortion is supposedly the standard position for the Republican Party and its candidates? That is a far cry from what the grassroots pro-life movement in the states has worked for during the last fifty years.

I’m a doctor. Would I receive an organ transplant?

‘Catchy slogans like ‘Give the gift of life’ sound good, but gloss over critical details that everyone who signs a donor card has a right to know.’

I was asked recently whether I would receive a transplant. I have often addressed this question in my lectures and videos on the ethics of organ harvesting and transplantation. Like most questions, the answer to this question is, “It depends!” There are many types of transplants, some of which are ethical and some which are not.

But despite — as Godfrey described it — Hern’s abortion absolutism, he admits he has suffered from the reality of what he is doing — killing.

The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church

The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church

May 29, 2023

Dear Family of Mary!

Jesus gave us His Mother as He died on the cross. This final act shows us His total love for us. He brought us into His family by giving us His Mother as our Mother. We can only be in awe at such a gift!!

Here is that moment, that gift, from the Gospel of John:

But standing by the cross of Jesus

were his mother,

and his mother’s sister,

Mary the wife of Clopas,

and Mary Mag’dalene.

When Jesus saw his mother,

and the disciple whom he loved

standing near,

he said to his mother,

“Woman, behold, your son!”

Then he said to the disciple,

“Behold, your mother!”

And from that hour

the disciple took her to his own home. (John19: 25-27)

On this feast day we celebrate the gift of Mary as our Mother, as the Mother of the whole church. She spoke to us about her role as Mother of the Church in this message. Let’s take in her words today, and let them mold us and bless us!:

June 2, 2016

“Dear children,

as the Mother of the Church,

as your mother,

I am smiling as I look at you:

how you are coming to me,

how you are gathering around me,

how you are seeking me.

My comings among you are proof

of how much Heaven loves you.

They indicate to you the way to eternal life,

to salvation.

My apostles,

you who strive to have a pure heart

and to have my Son in it,

you are on the good way.

You who are seeking my Son

are seeking the good way.

He left many signs of His love.

He left hope.

It is easy to find Him

if you are ready for sacrifice and penance –

if you have patience, mercy and love for your neighbors.

Many of my children do not see and do not hear

because they do not want to.

They do not accept my words and my works,

yet through me, my Son calls everyone.

His Spirit illuminates all of my children

in the light of the Heavenly Father,

in the unity of Heaven and Earth,

in mutual love –

because love invokes love

and makes works more important than words.

Therefore, my apostles,

pray for your Church,

love it

and do works of love.

No matter how betrayed or wounded,

it is here because it comes from the Heavenly Father.

Pray for your shepherds

so that in them you may see

the greatness of the love of my Son.

Thank you.”

May we cherish the Catholic Church, our Mother here on earth. No matter the trials we face, Jesus will stand by His Church, and Mary with Him. We are in good hands, as Catholics!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 9
May 27, 2023

Dear Family of Mary!
Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 9

Our Lady prays to the Holy Spirit for us:
June 25, 2002 “Dear children! Today I pray for you and with you that the Holy Spirit may help you and increase your faith, so that you may accept even more the messages that I am giving you here in this holy place. Little children, comprehend that this is a time of grace for each of you; and with me, little children, you are secure. I desire to lead you all on the way of holiness. Live my messages and put into life every word that I am giving you. May they be precious to you because they come from Heaven. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

In this message, Our Lady tells us she is praying for us and with us that the Holy Spirit may help us and increase our faith, so that we will be able to accept even more the messages she is giving us in Medjugorje, this holy place!! She is asking her great Spouse, the Holy Spirit, to anoint us, open our minds and increase our faith, so we can understand what she is saying to us in her messages. She needs His help and so do we!!
Certainly, Our Lady receives these messages from the Father and Jesus, through the Holy Spirit. She then gives them to us through her visionaries. But the process isn’t finished until we receive the messages with open hearts, anointed and ready to receive them in the power of the Holy Spirit!! Only with the help of the Holy Spirit can we accept the messages more deeply.
Our Lady, the Queen of Peace, has been with us now for 42 years, giving us messages from her heart, messages of faith, hope, love, peace, joy, truth, correction and consolation. She has faithfully spoken to us through her visionaries, desiring that we become part of the great plan for the world that God has been enacting through her.
Let’s ask the Holy Spirit to help us and increase our faith, so that we can accept and live Our Lady’s messages more deeply than ever before in this time of grace. The world needs Our Lady of Medjugorje, and we are her messengers, those who live her messages with the heart, who listen to the Holy Spirit and do that which He inspires us to do!
Tomorrow is Pentecost!! May we receive a great outpouring of grace from the Father! Come, Holy Spirit!

The Paraclete, the Fount of Love(A prayer by St. John Henry Newman)
My God, I adore You, as the Third Person of the Ever-Blessed Trinity, under the name and designation of Love.
You are that Living Love, wherewith the Father and the Son love each other. And You are the Author of supernatural love in our hearts.”Fons vivus, ignis, charitas.” (Fount of life, fire and love!)
As a fire You came down from heaven on the day of Pentecost; and as a fire You burn away the dross of sin and vanity in the heart and light up the pure flame of devotion and affection.
It is You who unite heaven and earth by showing to us the glory and beauty of the Divine Nature, and making us love what is in Itself so winning and transporting.
I adore You, O uncreated and everlasting Fire, by which our souls live, by which alone they are made fit for heaven. Amen

The Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit:
O Lord Jesus Christ, Who, before ascending into heaven, didst promise to send the Holy Ghost to finish Thy work in the souls of Thy Apostles and Disciples, deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to me, that He may perfect in my soul the work of Thy grace and Thy love.
Grant me:
the Spirit of Wisdom that I may despise the perishable things of this world and aspire only after the things that are eternal,
the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten my mind with the light of Thy divine truth,
the Spirit of Counsel that I may ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining Heaven,
the Spirit of Fortitude that I may bear my cross with Thee, and that I may overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation,
the Spirit of Knowledge that I may know God and know myself and grow perfect in the science of the Saints,
the Spirit of Piety that I may find the service of God sweet and amiable,
the Spirit of Fear that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards God, and may dread in any way to displease Him.
Mark me, dear Lord, with the sign of Thy true disciples and animate me in all things with Thy Spirit. Amen.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!Cathy Nolan(c)Mary TV 2023

        The Real American Catholic Crisis
Fr. Peter Stravinskas recently noted that “70 percent of Catholics do not believe in the Real Presence.” Some may find this shocking, but for anyone who has observed Catholic posturing on contraception and abortion over the past 50 years, this comes as no surprise.

Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 8

May 26, 2023

Dear Family of Mary!

Novena to the Holy Spirit, Day 8

Our Lady speaks about the Spirit working in our families:

April 25, 2005 “Dear children! Also today, I call you to renew prayer in your families. By prayer and the reading of Sacred Scripture, may the Holy Spirit, who will renew you, enter into your families. In this way, you will become teachers of the faith in your family. By prayer and your love, the world will set out on a better way and love will begin to rule in the world. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Our Lady tells us in this message that if we renew prayer in our families, if we read Scripture in our families, the Holy Spirit will come and will renew our families!! I have never thought of this before. It is a tremendous thing to invite the Holy Spirit into our families. What a welcome guest!! The Holy Spirit can do everything we cannot. He can transform our children, and our marriages!

I remember how difficult it was to begin prayer in our family. When we first discovered Our Lady of Medjugorje, we were not praying the Rosary as a family, and family prayer was difficult. But when we began to read our Lady’s messages, family prayer began to take shape. We prayed the Holy Rosary and read Scripture. It was really hard work for Denis and me. But it did pay off. We began to see the signs of life in our children.

Now, family prayer is not magic. Our children had to find each their own way with God. And it has not been easy. But I do see the Holy Spirit’s hand in their lives, and in Denis and my life as well.
Family prayer is such a beautiful gift to give your spouse and your children. It is a lifeboat for each member of the family. It is a way of inscribing in each one’s heart that God exists and that He wants to be near them.

Family prayer is a work of the Holy Spirit, bringing life and joy! Our Lady knows what she is talking about! She and Joseph and Jesus must have prayed together each day. Imagine that!!
And here is her amazing promise: By prayer and your love, the world will set out on a better way and love will begin to rule in the world.

Through our decision to pray, the Holy Spirit will build prayer and love in our families, and the world will set out on a better way, one family at a time. It is the only way. One family at a time!

Dearest Mother, please help us to begin or strengthen our family prayer, so that the Holy Spirit will come into our family and by our prayer and love, the world will set out on a better way and love will begin to rule in the world!

The Paraclete, the Fount of Love(A prayer by St. John Henry Newman)

Grant me the Spirit of Wisdom that I may despise the perishable things of this world and aspire only after the things that are eternal,
the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten my mind with the light of Thy divine truth,
the Spirit of Counsel that I may ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining Heaven,
the Spirit of Fortitude that I may bear my cross with Thee, and that I may overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation,
the Spirit of Knowledge that I may know God and know myself and grow perfect in the science of the Saints,
the Spirit of Piety that I may find the service of God sweet and amiable,
the Spirit of Fear that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards God, and may dread in any way to displease Him.
Mark me, dear Lord, with the sign of Thy true disciples and animate me in all things with Thy Spirit. Amen.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!Cathy Nolan(c)Mary TV 2023
