Directive from Heaven #233 - Vocations, Part 1 - given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#233 - Vocations, Part 1

“And Peter began to say unto him: Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee. Jesus answering said: Amen I say to you, there is no man who hath left house or brethren or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, who shall not receive an hundred times as much, now in this time: houses and brethren and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions: and in the world to come life everlasting.” - Mark 10: 28-30

A GREAT VOID
"The numbers of those in the service of thy Father is growing smaller. Pray for the vocations that are sorely needed. A great void is being created by the loss of vocations, for the little ones are left to wander.
"My poor children, you desire so much in material things and so little in the spiritual! We look down upon so many homes that are becoming the reason for the destruction of children's souls. The memory of the truth of My Son's existence must be kept in the homes." - Our Lady, December 24, 1970

WORLDLY
"Women with vocations, you have become worldly! You have chosen of your free will to degrade your bodies and your habit. Whatever shall become of you, foolish maidens of the world? Return while there is time! Purify your bodies through suffering. Place upon your bodies garments of holiness--down to the floor! You shall not set yourselves to tempt your pastors! Satan has set a delusion among you. You have become maidens of sin.” - Our Lady, September 6, 1975

FIRM DEDICATION
"My children, see My habit given by the Eternal Father. Children of God, in vocations to the sisterhood, whatever shall become of you? You have become foolish maidens without modesty and piety. You run with your heads high in the air in clouds of darkness. You remove your habit and take on the raiment of the world. O My children, you are defaming your vocation!
     "Sisters, do you not understand why you were given a long habit to wear? It was a sign to the world of your dedication. You were to become brides of Christ, My children. And what have you given to the world, but a poor example of worldliness without dedication. You have become of the world; you have proceeded onto the wide road.
     "Sisters in vocations, turn back! Do not become maidens of the world, foolish maidens, but return and be brides of Christ, brides who have been given the key to the Eternal Kingdom of your God.
     "My sisters, without this firm dedication and example of piety and holiness, you cannot induce or lead others into your vocation. The convents are slowly closing. And why, My children? Because there are too few who try to find the real reason. They have succumbed to the lures of the world.” - Our Lady, July 15, 1977

DRIVING AWAY VOCATIONS
"My child and My children, I come once more with an urgent and pleading message to the hierarchy in the Church, My Church upon earth. I want you to know now that We look upon you and find many that do not fall into grace. They are falling out of grace and misleading many of Our sheep.
"Therefore, I warn you now as your God: You will stop your intricacies within My Church. You will stop experimenting. I gave you the rules to follow many years ago, two thousand years approximately. And why now, two thousand years later, do you deem it necessary to change My Church upon earth? I, your God, say to you, you will be judged accordingly. You will return My Church to its former glory, and in that manner you will have more vocations and more entering the seminaries, and not fleeing from them as they hear the heresies and all other innovations that are going on within My Church. This is My last and final word to My clergy: Change now or suffer a just punishment and banishment.” - Jesus, June 18, 1986

CHANGES
"My children, you must hasten to tell the good sisters that they must not join the world. They are losing vocations because of their changes. They must restore their habit worn to the ground. It was an example of great strength and piety for others and brought many vocations to the convents. Have you not realized the fruits of your endeavors to become modern? Good sisters, return and restore the convents." - Our Lady, April 1, 1978

HOLY PRIESTS NEEDED
"There will be many manifestations given to those who have taken over the role as disciples of the latter days for My Son. The people must now save My Son's Church. This battle upon earth has been given now to the people, and through the people shall you bring back My Son's Church to its former position of holiness, piety, and numerous entrances into the vocations. Many holy priests are needed.” - Our Lady, August 19, 1978

MODESTY AND DISCIPLINE
"My sister, Veronica, you must continue. And please counsel my sisters in vocations that they have fallen asleep. They must remove the blindness from their hearts. They have been misled! Modesty and discipline must be a rule of habit." - St. Theresa, October 1, 1977

SHORTAGE OF TEACHING NUNS
"My child, I have tied the knot, the belt, to represent the carrying of My beads of prayer on the dress of the dedicated. The vocations have fallen, My child. Our young children, their souls are darkening daily because there is a shortage, a severe shortage, My child, of teaching nuns. Whatever shall become of the young souls for Heaven? The Eternal Father has a plan to remove many young souls before the corruptive forces will come upon them.” - Our Lady, April 10, 1976

CHASTISEMENT
"The sin of pride and the arrogance of many in My House, Church, have set a pattern of soul-destruction among the young. I have asked that all who have been given the glory from the Eternal Father to follow My road as pastors, shepherds of Our sheep--there is much lacking in their direction. I do not have to give a listing by name; the plan of the Eternal Father shall reach those who permit and commit evil in their vocations.
"We ask that all remain steadfast in their missions. We ask that all do not leave now, but remain and await the Warning that will soon be given to mankind. We do not wish a separation or a division among Our sheep. You shall not compromise your Faith. You shall not be misled into error in the name of humanism and modernization.
"Heresy abounds in My House. All manners of aberration and impurities are being tolerated by My pastors. I say unto you that you must now clean your House! No man who has been chosen from among the multitudes to be a representative from Heaven shall use his rank, his vocation to gain worldly treasures and fall into the pattern of worldly living to the sorrow of those souls entrusted to him. You must awaken now from your slumber. I repeat: cleanse My House now, or I shall set a Chastisement upon you!” - Jesus, March 18, 1976

LOST LOVE OF GOD
"My sisters, you have paid no heed to my words. You are dressing yourselves like pagans. The convents will be empty. Whatever shall we do for example? You must not follow the modes of the world. My sisters, you have been misled. Return to your habits. None will enter your convents with true vocation with the example you set now upon yourselves and the world.
"Is it because you have lost the love of your God? Do you not feel great honor for the symbol of your being a true spouse of your God? Half-hearted vocations, sinfulness within the convents! O woe, my sisters, whatever will become of you now? Better that you wear the true habit and sign of dedication than to burn in the fires of hell.
"You will not bring true postulants into the convents by your example now. You walk in darkness, my sisters. Pray for the light, or your convents will be closed. This is the plan of the enemy of God. You must take yourselves from the world and worldly pursuits." - St. Theresa, September 13, 1973

HOLINESS MUST BE RETURNED
"Holiness, piety, dedication must be returned to the churches, or the vocations will fall. The churches will be emptied, and the leaders will be imprisoned by their enemies that have come to them as angels of light, but with ravenous hearts.
     "The Red Hat has fallen and the Purple Hat is being misled. Pray for all men of sin, for their judgment lies with the Eternal Father Who sees into their hearts.
     "The Eternal Father, My child, is always the final judge. Speak once with the Message from Heaven. If not hastened, speak no more but keep in heart that it may not be their decision.
     "Give them, your clergy, by your example and prayers, the courage to stay in the light.
     "You do not join the enemy to win the battle, My children, for when you join them, you become tainted. When the world and My Church become one, know that the end is at hand.” - Jesus, June 5, 1975

REBELLING AGAINST POPE
"Many clergy have given themselves over to pleasures of the flesh. Many have fallen into sin and heresy, and have cast aside the truth of their vocations. Many now rebel against their leader, their God-given leader, your Vicar. In matters of faith and morals, man must not change the God-given laws, coming from the Seat of Peter, and established through tradition upon earth through My Son's Church.” - Our Lady, October 6, 1979

DEFILED THE RULE
"O pastors and foolish maidens of the world, those who have given themselves to vocations and then defiled the rule, do you not understand and recognize that you have been deluded by satan? The convents are closing, the churches are empty, and why? My children, I have repeated over and over that if you return to the rule and discipline as given by My Son, you must now have a rule of the cross and not of man. You must read the Bible and act upon it. Cast not aside the teachings of the founders of My Son's Church. Saint Paul, you revile and deride him. You cast him aside, and why? So that you can write and rewrite the words of your God to suit your own basic carnal human nature.” - Our Lady, July 25, 1977

THIRD SECRET OF FATIMA
"Because of pride, which is a worse barrier to holiness, a more formidable barrier against holiness and piety, O clergy, because of your pride--because you did not lock your doors against the heretics as I have warned you; because you did not prepare for satan, whom I warned you years of earth's time before would enter into My Son's Church to do battle with His clergy--you did not prepare and guard yourselves for this onslaught. And now, what are the fruits of your labors: a loss of vocations, My children losing the knowledge of their Faith, all manner of sin, perversion, and abominations being committed upon earth, until all the saints in Heaven cry out to the merciful Father to put an end to these abominations. Less and less honor is being given to My Son.” - Our Lady, August 4, 1979

“DESPOILERS OF THE HUMAN RACE”
"Cardinals, bishops, priests of the order of God, if you are guilty, turn from your ways. I make no accusations by name, though the list is growing long, to the Eternal Father. You who were given the God-given grace to be leaders of the flock have now scattered Our sheep! Bishops, what has become of your vocation? You are becoming despoilers of the human race. You cannot hide your sin from the Eternal Father. Turn back while there is time!" - Our Lady, June 18, 1993

LIVES OF THE SPIRIT
"Our sisters do not wear the beautiful garments. Our sisters now paint themselves. Oh, our sisters now curl their hair. They are no longer dedicated to the spirit. They have become no longer the brides of Christ but the misses of the world!
"O my sister, will you not send a writing to them quickly before it is too late! They must change their ways now, for they offend the Father much. They must come out of the world and retire into the spirit. All dedicated with vocations must retire from this world that has been given to satan. They must live lives of the spirit, for you cannot be of the world and of the spirit, for you will accept one and deny the other.” - St. Theresa, May 17, 1975

“THIS EXAMPLE MUST BE RETURNED”
"My child, the example given by Theresa and all who have given their lives in vocations, this example must be returned to My Son's Church. Because you do not pray enough, My children, because you have given yourselves to sins of the flesh, many wars have descended upon you, many trials of earthquakes and floods and great heat have come upon you. My children, there is a most terrible calamity approaching mankind, and I beg you, as your Mother, to avoid this, to get down now upon your knees and do penance, atonement, and sacrifice to the Eternal Father Who has already been offended too much.” - Our Lady, October 2, 1976

OLD MASS MUST RETURN
Veronica - Jesus is not pleased with the manner in which His clergy are carrying out their vocations, and also, the Mass. Jesus wishes that the old Mass be returned to wipe out many of the errors that have crept in since the new Mass has started. - July 1, 1985

PRAY FOR THE POPE
"You shall not modernize My Church. For you shall not change My Church to suit man, but you must reverse the course of man to bring him to his God. For I have given you the grace in your vocations to gather My sheep, and you have chosen to scatter them!
"Many shall die in the great flame of the Ball of Redemption. Many mitres shall fall into hell. A heavy cross will soon be placed upon the world. Have you prepared My sheep for this test?
"Pray a constant vigilance of prayer now in your country. You who go about crying love and brotherhood for My Vicar--but how many of you pray for him? While you give him all the gifts of the world, how many of you pray for him? You cannot take satan from his course by your gifts of money, your gifts of outward displays of 'love'! For it is by 'love and brotherhood' that you shall destroy yourselves. For as your world cries 'love and peace and brotherhood,' you go faster to your end!” - Jesus, October 2, 1979

TRUE VOCATIONS
"You will all pray much that the convents will not be empty. True vocations are needed. Pray, pray much for your priests. They are under heavy attack.” - Our Lady, June 16, 1973

RULE MUST BE FOLLOWED
"My sisters, whatever has possessed you to set yourselves upon such a course to perdition? Have you no sense of shame in your attire, exposing your body to lustful eyes? Why have you discarded your protection? What model of purity and sanctity are you when you have become maidens and not brides of Christ?
     "The Eternal Father is watching. He has a very heavy hand, my sisters, that shall be set upon you! You must not follow like sheep to the slaughter the cry of the serpent. You are all blinding yourselves to the truth.
     "The road to Heaven, my sisters, is a narrow one and not difficult to follow, unless you choose to turn away. Even a short duration in the world will soil your soul. You must not, my sisters, give yourselves to the world in thought or deed or dress. Your example must be as one as Our Lady is dressed--a long habit that reaches to the ground. When you, my children and sisters, discard a proper attire--dress and habits--you do much destruction to your order, to your vocation, for you no longer are an example of purity and commanding respect. You do not receive respect. You are a scandal to your vocation, my sisters! You must not be obedient to the cry of the serpent.
     "The rule must be followed within the convents. My sisters, you will gain nothing by leaving and going into the world. It is a deception of satan to destroy your vocation and true purpose as brides of Christ. Come out of the darkness, my sisters!
     "It is the Eternal Father Who is the final judge, but a nun who has left her convent and given herself to the world and seduces a priest, a representative of Christ, to leave his vocation and destroy his soul--that nun shall enter hell!
     "Turn back, if you have been deceived! The merciful Father shall forgive if you repent of this great sin. If you do not repent and return to your vocation and allow the priest whom you have blinded by seduction--if you permit him to remain in his sin, your punishment will be two-fold, for not only have you sinned but you have caused another to sin!
     "A priest is a man of God, chosen solely from the world to be a representative of the Son of God, my sisters and brothers. As a man of God, he brings to you the Body and Blood of your Savior.” - St. Theresa, October 2, 1975

DELUDED BY SATAN
"The Messages from Heaven, My child and My children, are given for all mankind. Much emphasis has been placed through time on the message to the clergy in My Son's House for reason. They are being deluded and misled by satan.
"This has come about only because arrogance and pride has entered upon them. They no longer pray but have succumbed to the errors of humanism and modernism. Holiness must be returned to the vocation. And this can only be acquired by restoring prayer in My Son's House and especially the prayer life that is so lacking now in the clergy.
"In your well-meaning actions of opening My Son's Church to all without conversion, you have allowed yourself to associate with heretics and unbelievers. In this manner you are compromising your Faith. My children, recognize what is happening now in My Son's Church.” - Our Lady, July 25, 1978

HEART OF THEIR VOCATION
"My children, continue to follow the counsel of My Mother. All of the saints and the angels of Heaven shall come with you to aid you in this war of the spirits. Soon My clergy must make a decision: shall they build now a church of man and replace My House upon earth? No angels are guiding their movements. No angels shall rescue them from the pits of hell. Awaken, My clergy, for your heads are in the clouds!
     "Where have the hearts from your vocation gone? You have sold your souls to get to the head! For what? Each and every one of you must answer for your time upon earth. Many of you will come over the veil in a short time. Shall you be ready? Have you prepared My sheep, My children?
     "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth if they have not listened to the counsel from Heaven! There will be much gnashing of teeth and woe set upon the earth by the evil one.
     "Wear your sacramentals. Remain with Me at the tabernacles of My Church throughout the world. I am with you. Do not accept the challenge of satan by listening with itching ears to his new doctrines of demons. I am with you. Though the conduct of My clergy is poor, the doors are not closed to you yet! Join with Me at the tabernacles of your Church. Do not abandon this grace. You will need every vestige of grace given to you in the days ahead, for many shall fall in the battle.
     "Pray, My children, for your clergy. They are prisoners of the world, shackled to the love of the world. They have placed, many of them, the world before the Eternal Father and the plan in their vocation.” - Jesus, July 25, 1978

“STAND YOUR GROUND AND DO NOT LEAVE”
Veronica - Our Lady wants you to know that there will be difficult days ahead for all religious. Therefore, you must stand your ground and do not leave, because to leave is also falling into the plan with satan. You must hold the truth in your heart and have great hope--because all in the Book of Life must come to pass. Therefore, the trials you must suffer, take with obedience and faith. The road ahead will take fortitude and great courage to stand forth in your own convictions. Great disobedience or fighting with the ranks will gain nothing. Only prayer will stem the tide. When you find within your order that the going is rough and you meet with a pattern that does not suit what is in your heart--or even right in the plan of God--you will pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and you will be led out of this trap. This is for all religious--from the highest rank of cardinal down. - August 21, 1972

FAITH AND MORALS
"My children, I know of your sorrows, I know of your joys; but know that I promise you a joy far beyond anything that you have experienced when you come through this jungle of trial set before you. Along the way, watch in charity to rescue your brothers and sisters. Pray now a constant vigilance of prayer.
"In matters of faith, in matters of morals, and in matters of doctrine, you must not stray from the truth!” - Jesus, May 17, 1975

CHARITY AND LOVE
"Hope that the hardened hearts, My children, will be softened and opened, so that the light can penetrate and take away the darkness of spirit.
"Pray for them, My children, you who have the charity and love that is a part of your union with My Son; pray for them, for every--each one, My children, can be rescued if you pray for them and do penance for them. Satan, in his strongest hold upon them, will make them fight against you, but you must never give up in your prayers and dedication to save these souls.
"Pray a constant vigilance, My children. My Son is with you, even unto the end of time as you know it. I am with you always. I am with you when you call Me. My Son is with you.” - Our Lady, May 17, 1975

“WITHOUT CHARITY YOU HAVE NOTHING”
"My children, without charity you have nothing! Does holiness reign, and charity, in the hearts of the clergy in My Son's House? Or shall I give to you the measure of offenses by count as My Son suffers for these offenses by count? For when you do not clothe your brother in his nakedness, when you do not feed your brother in his hunger, when you do not comfort him in his affliction, you offend the Father in Heaven and the Trinity; for even the most humble and smallest among you, as human beings upon earth, are the children of your God, and each and every man, woman, and child has been created in the image of God. But now you have given yourselves over to seeking worldly pleasures; you have given yourselves over to the worship of Lucifer and false gods. And then you cry to Heaven: 'Where are my children? Why have my children turned against us?' Parents, leaders in the houses of religion upon earth, have you followed your vocation? What measure of responsibility shall you be counted for in the fall of your nation?” - Our Lady, September 7, 1979

VOCATIONS ARE NEEDED
"My child, I wish you also to make note in your heart and the hearts of all mankind that I am much despaired, as Theresa, Our Little Flower, is much despaired at the lack of numbers in the nunneries. Vocations are needed for the priesthood, and also for the nunneries.
"Are there not any who care to come forward and dedicate their lives to save Our young children? Please, My children, surely among you, those who hear My voice or will read this written word, can you not give your life to win your reward forever in Heaven? And perhaps also, those you love you can bring with you. So many little souls are crying. They thirst for the knowledge of Jesus and all of Heaven. Will you not solace them and comfort them in their loneliness? They are like sheep out in the wilderness, astray with no leaders. They are wandering. And what do they feast upon but weeds. No good nourishment is being given them. Will you not, My children, you who are children of the light, come forward and become nuns, nuns with good hearts, with a good foundation of the Faith and the truth, and nourish Our sheep?” - Our Lady, June 18, 1982

"As disciples of the latter days, My children, much shall be asked of you, but I assure you: all that you give in faith and charity shall be returned to you threefold." - Jesus, June 1, 1978
