National Conference on Medjugorje
University of Notre Dame.

Cathy Nolan, wife of Denis Nolan, founder of Mary TV, gives her personal testimony on Mother's Day, May 13, 2012, at the National Conference on Medjugorje at the University of Notre Dame. Since January, 1999, Cathy has been writing a daily reflection on Our Lady's messages (that is 4,000 reflections to date, sent out to a small email list or accessed at www.marytv.tv). Fr. Bertrand Buby, President of the Mariological Society of America insisted that upon receiving her graduate degree in Theology she become a professional member, writing, "She has the unique gift of the combination of a scholars intellect and a mother's heart."
Testimony from Sr. Lucia of Fatima "If you can, grasp the Rosary. Even the Rosary alone can do miracles in the world and in your lives!" (Our Lady's 1/25/91 message from Medjugorje)
“Medjugorje is the continuation and fulfillment of Fatima.”
Pope John Paul II (3.25.84)
Testimony from Sister Lucia of Fatima
“Father, the Most Holy Virgin did not tell me that we are in the last times of the world,* but She made me understand this for three reasons. The first reason is because She told me that the devil is in the mood for engaging in a decisive battle against the Virgin. And a decisive battle is the final battle where one side will be victorious and the other side will suffer defeat. Also from now on we must choose sides. Either we are for God or we are for the devil. There is no other possibility. The second reason is because She said to my cousins as well as to myself that God is giving two last remedies to the world. These are the Holy Rosary and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These are the last two remedies, which signify that there will not be others. The third reason is because in the plans of Divine Providence God always, before He is about to punish the world, exhausts all other remedies.
“The two means to save the world are prayer and sacrifice. Look, Father, the Most Holy Virgin, in these last times in which we live, has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Holy Rosary. She has given this efficacy to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all, spiritual, in the private life of each one of us, of our families, of the families of the world, of the religious communities or even of the life of peoples and nations, that cannot be resolved through the prayer of the Rosary. There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve through the recitation of the Holy Rosary. Through the Holy Rosary we will save ourselves. We will sanctify ourselves. We will console Our Lord and obtain the salvation of many souls. Finally, devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Our Mother, consists in considering Her as the seat of mercy, of goodness and of pardon and as the sure door through which we are to enter Heaven.”

On December 26, 1957, Sr. Lucia gave the preceding testimony to Father Augustine Fuentes, postulator of the cause for the beatification of the Fatima visionaries, Francisco and Jacinta. Though published in 1957 with the approval of ecclesiastical authority, two years later its dissemination was suppressed.
