Directive from Heaven #339 - Good Example given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#339 - Good Example

“For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so you do also. Amen, amen I say to you: The servant is not greater than his lord; neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him. If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you do them.” – St. John 13:15-17

OUTWARD GOOD EXAMPLE
"We ask now, My children, for a full dedication to the cause of Heaven. You must give all outward good example of your mission. Women must clothe themselves in modesty and good works. Men shall not wear clothes immodest. You will find it better to spend more of your moneys for loose-fitting clothes, My children. The means will be given to you.
"Do not be concerned of the knowledge of the world. Do not concern yourselves, My children, of the acceptance of mankind in your world. I have given you the knowledge in the past that in order to follow the narrow road to Heaven, you must be different. You cannot be of your world, earth, and in the spirit. One or the other you must choose. The world of the spirit has nothing in common with the world of man. For satan is directing the course and actions of mankind, for he does not call to the Holy Spirit to guide him.” – Our Lady, March 29, 1975

SET A GOOD EXAMPLE
"The parents of earth must make a firm effort to safeguard their children by giving stern direction, if necessary, and not be permissive in the rearing of their children. Do not allow your children to rule you, but set a good example and use a firm discipline. The children are the victims of their elders, for the example of the elders is poor.
"The young children must be taken by their parents to the temples, the houses of My Son throughout your world. They must learn by habit a good example of cleansing of their soul by Confession. The good priests of earth, those who have been dedicated and received this consecration from My Son, must take these tender souls and nurture them in their Faith.” – Our Lady, November 20, 1975

YOUR PARISH CHURCH
"Keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your world. Be a good example for those in your parish church. I ask you not to abandon My Church, but to stay and fight. We ask not for physical force, but for prayer and example.
"You cannot condone what is wrong, but you must act to correct it. Prayer is one of the greatest weapons now for mankind to use against the forces of darkness that cover now and enshroud the whole world.” – Jesus, June 18, 1979

“BE A GOOD EXAMPLE TO ALL IN YOUR PARISH CHURCH”
"Be a good example to all in your parish church. Do not be deterred by the opinion of any man, whether he is of lay, or of a denomination of the religious. Remember, My children, when you come over the veil, there is no one to defend you. You will only bring with you love and prayers, and your own merits to bring to the Eternal Father for your judgment.” – Our Lady, August 14, 1981

“DO NOT TURN FROM YOUR PARISH CHURCH”
“Do not turn from your parish church, but stay; remain as a good example.
"All who need strength and encouragement in the days ahead will say with true feeling, My Jesus, my confidence!
"It will come, the time, My children, when it will seem to all that the wicked have captured the earth, and only the wicked shall prosper. But, My children, they gain their reward upon earth, for they have nothing when they leave. And there is not one living creature upon earth that shall not one day return to the dust.” – Our Lady, February 1, 1978

A MAJOR PLAN OF DESTRUCTION
"My children, I repeat again: you must not abandon your parish churches. We do not want the doors to shut. You must remain there and suffer with My Son and set a good example. The enemies of your God, in many forms, with many names, go about the world now with a major plan of destruction for My Son's Church.” – Our Lady, March 15, 1978

DIRECT BY GOOD EXAMPLE AND PRAYER
"Our hearts and tears fall upon the young, the victims of their elders. The judgment of God will not be understood by human man. Therefore, you will all direct by good example and prayer. Do not seek to castigate your neighbor, but by good example and prayer lead him back onto the road to the Kingdom.” – Our Lady, February 10, 1973

“RIGHT THE WRONG; RESTORE MY CHURCH”
"Each soul that has reached, who has reached the age of reasoning must give a good example of faith, modesty, purity of purpose, and dedication to his God. There shall be no compromise of the Faith in My Church. There shall be no compromise with the world, for My Kingdom is not of your world. My Kingdom is eternal. My ways are not the ways of the world.
"You must now cleanse yourselves of the contamination that you have allowed to enter upon My Church. Right the wrong; restore My House. The Eternal Father is most merciful in His dealings with a degenerate generation. He is long-suffering and merciful, but the time is fast running out. I say this not to place fear in your hearts, but to give you a statement of fact. You must all work, pray, and set by an example the road ahead. Light this road by your example, so that others may be given the light." – Jesus, August 5, 1976

NUNS MUST RETIRE FROM THE WORLD
"My sisters, you must place your skirts down to the floor, for you offend Our Lady, and the Father looks with critical eye upon your actions. You must retire from the world and show by good example. Then many more sisters will enter into the convents if you give them good example.
"All mothers of the houses in the convents must watch who enters their homes, for satan has placed many within the convents to destroy them. Those who enter should not be counted by their intelligence, but by their hearts; for the Father has not chosen those of great intelligence and worldly acclaim to do His will. He knows, and He looks into your hearts.” – St. Theresa, May 30, 1973

GIVE COUNSEL
"You must keep your armor upon you, your sacramentals. You must remain with My Son in the Eucharist, in the tabernacles throughout the world. There is much confusion at this time and much error in the houses of My Son. But do not turn away. You must stay and pray and set a good example for those who run about in confusion and trying all manner of novelty.
"The Eternal Father looks into the hearts of mankind; therefore, you must not judge. It is well to give counsel and to bring forth an untruth, but you must not judge.” – Our Lady, December 6, 1975

SET A GOOD EXAMPLE AMONG THE HIERARCHY
"It is a defiant act, My children, that women no longer cover their heads at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. They will not obey, for they cannot understand that man must not change the wording of the Bible. Man and the hierarchy must not change the wording of the Bible to suit mankind's instincts. No! The hierarchy must lead the sheep upon the road to Heaven through the plan of the Eternal Father, and this plan has been written in His good Book, the Bible. If you choose to strike out on your own and form a new Bible and a new way, you are doomed to disappointment and destruction. And worst of all, it will be soul destruction!
"Pray, My children, a constant vigilance of prayer for your hierarchy, your priest. Set a good example among them. Do not be afraid of the scoffers, those who bring derision upon you--derision, My children. Accept your cross. Pick it up, My children, and carry it and follow My Son. The reward will be far greater than any reward that man could ever visualize in his human mind." – Our Lady, July 15, 1978

IMMODESTY IS A SIN
"My child, We do not see much of this upon your world now. Out of sight, out of mind. The external trappings mean much. You must cover yourselves with good example. Immodesty is a sin, My child. All bodies that are exposed will burn. The great flame of the Ball of Redemption will burn all exposed bodies. Cover yourselves well, My children, and you will be covered with the armor of God. Impurity of heart is promoted by lewd actions, My children. You not only sin, but you force others onto the road to destruction by your actions.
"Mothers and daughters, women of the world, you must be an example of purity and piety to your children. It is only by your action as parents that your children will learn. Many parents will cry bitter tears of anguish when they see their children lost to them forever.” – Our Lady, November 23, 1974

BE A GOOD EXAMPLE TO ALL
"My children, pray for your bishops and your cardinals. Be a good example to all. I ask you to remain in your parish churches for reason. Accept the cross, the suffering that you must persevere in.
"I do not want new churches arising all over the land and throughout the world, for united you can stand, but divide and you will truly fall! Satan wishes division within My House.
"You may accept in your own free will, pastors and laity, My Mother's counsel or you may reject it; but it is you who will receive the ultimate reward or rejection.” – Jesus, May 30, 1978

THE FINAL BATTLE
“All Heaven now mobilizes for the final battle. It is through the providence of the Father that we of Heaven are permitted to speak with you. It is through the merciful heart of the Father that you are being warned. The destruction will come fast upon you, and we pity those souls unprepared.
"Your homes will be homes of prayer and good example. You may have to be an object of scorn and derision among your neighbors; but O my children, if they knew what awaits them, they would come and join you on their knees." – St. Joachim, July 25, 1973

BY YOUR EXAMPLE
"My child, tell all to act as good example in My Son's House. Women must wear a head covering in the holy places and in prayer. It is not because of custom; it is because the angels demand proper deportment during the Holy Sacrifice.
"I find, My children, that many of Our pastors are going fast downstream in fast currents. They are like ducks following the leader. O pastors of My Son's houses, whatever shall become of you? By your example, you have been leading many onto the road to hell.” – Our Lady, May 29, 1976

“NOURISH THE SOULS OF YOUR CHILDREN”
"I have asked you to retire from this world of yours that has been given to satan. Homes shall be a fortress against the evil. You will nourish the souls of your children within your home. Strong fathers of strong will--discipline! Mothers of good example--examples of purity and piety, and chastity! It is a sorrow to My heart to observe that the nature of mankind has become as animal.” – Our Lady, September 13, 1975

HOMES MUST BE A REFUGE FOR THE CHILDREN
"Homes must now become a stronghold of godliness! Homes must be a refuge for the children against the onslaughts of satan now loosed in your world. Parents must give a good example of godliness and piety. Woe to the parent who discards or goes along with apathy in his role as a parent. There will be much gnashing of teeth and woe set upon the earth by the evil ones now loosed from the abyss. The forces of 666 are now raging like ravenous demons throughout your world. They have entered into the governments of the nations; they have entered into all medias of communication, and they have entered into My Son's Church!” – Our Lady, July 15, 1977

PRAY AND SET A GOOD EXAMPLE IN YOUR COUNTRY
"The forces of evil are gathering in great numbers in the Eternal City of Rome. You must pray now for your Holy Father. The forces of evil are sending their errors throughout the world.
"Through many years of your earth-time, I have asked you to pray and set a good example in your country for those throughout your world who have fallen into darkness and error.
"As in the past, My child, those who have the power for good are using this power to destroy souls. The Father, the Eternal Father, will permit this but for a short time. All that is rotten will fall.” – Our Lady, August 5, 1975

PASTORS SCANDALIZING THE YOUNG
"Parents, safeguard the souls of your children, or there will be much gnashing of teeth and woe set upon you by the evil one. Discipline, a firm hand must be given to the young, for they are truly the victims of their elders.
"Those who should give a good example are now leading the young onto the road to perdition. I say unto you, O pastors, better that you had died in your mother's womb than to come forth and destroy young souls, for you shall receive a punishment commensurate with your evil!
"I ask perseverance and fortitude and purpose in the days ahead of My children. The reward for your perseverance will be great. I must warn you that it will not be an easy road; it will be a road filled with thorns. However, as I walked this road, surely, My children, you will do this for the salvation of your soul." – Jesus, December 24, 1976

TAKE FULL CHARGE OF THE REARING OF YOUR CHILDREN
"My children, parents, I caution you again to take full charge of the rearing of your children by good example and giving them a true foundation for their faith, by bringing to your children the knowledge of their God and the commandments of their God.” – Jesus, July 25, 1977

SATAN HAS CORRUPTED THE WORD
St. Paul - "Listen, My child, how satan has corrupted the word."
Veronica - And now he's becoming quite angry and pointing, jabbing with his finger the Book, and saying:
St. Paul - "Observe: Women shall be meek in the presence of their husbands. We hear the call of 'liberation'! Whom shall woman be liberated to but satan!
     "A man, as a figure of the Christ, my child, shall be the head of his household. So it is from the Lord.*
     "A woman shall adorn herself not in pearls and braided hair, but in goodness and piety and good example to her children. A woman will not expose her body as a pagan. What manner of example has she given to her children? Woe to the parent who brings scandal to her children!
     "Woman, remove your arrogance! You are searching in darkness. As a sign of reverence, you will cover your head. It is not that I call it custom, My children; it is that the angels demand this in the presence of the Sacrifice, Mass!" – St. Paul, March 22, 1975

*1 Cor 11:3-10; 1 Cor 14:34-35; 1 Tim 2:9-15.

IF YOU LOVE, ACT UPON THIS
"My children, if you love, as you profess with your mouth, act upon this. Show by example, a good example to your children. They must receive this knowledge and the way from their parents and the example in their homes. O My children, the reward to you in the end will be far greater than you can ever imagine, for you will be looking for the salvation of your loved ones. And how sorrowful and dejected a state for a mother or father to realize too late that they did not do enough, they did not care enough, to lead their children onto the road to Heaven.” – Our Lady, September 7, 1976

GOOD EXAMPLE AND WORDS SPOKEN OUT WITH WISDOM
"You must always pray for your priests. We do not condone evil, nor will We condone fallacy and errors; however, the Eternal Father in Heaven shall be the final judge.
"I repeat the direction of My Mother to you many times, that prayers without works shall be fruitless, My children. Good example and words spoken out with wisdom, given to you from the Holy Spirit, shall help gather My sheep in these dark days.
"In exhortation, I repeat to all the pastors of My House--remember these words and ponder upon them, O pastors: shall you stand before Me and say that your teaching has been pure in My sight?” – Jesus, November 22, 1976

BE A GOOD EXAMPLE TO YOUR CHILDREN
"Parents--please, My children, be a good example to your children! Teach them that there is a Heaven, the eternal Kingdom of God the Father; teach them that there is a purgatory, a sorrowful place of waiting and suffering. However, there is a small joy of knowledge, My child, that one will one day be taken from this place of waiting and suffering to enter spotlessly clean, and their robes washed by My Son, into the Kingdom eternal, forever and ever with the Father Eternal.
"My child, the way to Heaven, it is not easy. It will be set with frustration, with trial, with suffering. It is truly the way of the cross, My child. Were it otherwise, I would surely tell you so.” – Our Lady, May 17, 1975

“ONE GOOD EXAMPLE CAN SAVE A DOZEN”
"My child, you must comfort those who cry and weep for their lost children. There will be many other mothers who shall suffer the horrible crimes against their children. All is coming to pass because of the sins of the older generation. Those who should know better are so enshrined in their own love of the material that they cannot even visualize what they are doing to their children. In order for your children to be saved, My parents, you must keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your home, and those homes of your immediate families. One good example can save a dozen, My children.” – Our Lady, October 5, 1985

STAY AND FIGHT WITH PRAYERS, GOOD DEEDS
"My children, My Son's Church is passing through a terrible crisis. Please do not abandon it in these days of darkness, but stay and fight with prayers, good deeds, works of mercy, and good example.
"The forces of evil, 666, are firmly entrenched in Rome. Many cardinals, the Red Hats, have fallen, and they now mislead many of the Purple Hats, the bishops.” – Our Lady, April 1, 1978

“YOU CANNOT SIT BACK AND DO NOTHING”
"My children, I promise you, as your Mother, to be with you until your world and mankind has been righted by My Son. Step by step, through the darkness into the light, shall I lead you, My children. But it will be a road filled with thorns. The cross will grow heavy. You will stagger, you will fall; but I assure you, My children, you will rise even stronger.
"You will pray for your pastors; you will pray for the Red Hats and the Purple Hats. It is a sad fact that cannot be overlooked, My children, that the Red Hats have fallen and the Purple Hats are being misled.
"I ask you to not set yourselves up to judge your brothers and sisters, but you cannot sit back and do nothing or say nothing, for good works kept in a closed mouth is like putting messes of meat upon a dead man's grave. Prayers without works, My children, will not give you the strength to conquer the evil. By your example, your good example of modesty and faith, you will bring many back onto the road to Heaven.” – Our Lady, February 1, 1977

POOR LITTLE ONES HAVE BEEN LED ASTRAY
"Man has accepted now in your country and throughout the earth, a way of life that condones the breaking of all Commandments of the Father. Ah, the poor little ones that have been led astray by bad example! Sin has become a way of life in your country. We have begged for your good example of prayer, sacrifice, and atonement.” – Our Lady, September 7, 1973

BY PRAYER, GOOD EXAMPLE, CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM
"Your world, mankind, is now developing into a one-world government and a one-world religion that will cast aside My Son. Woe, I say unto you, as I cried before, that unless you pray, unless you act now, 666 shall entrench himself in Rome, the Eternal City of Rome, and then it shall become the seat of the antichrist forces. My children, remove the blindness from your hearts and your eyes. Can you not recognize what is happening?
"I cry bitter tears of sorrow. I ask all My children to save My Son's House, His Church upon earth. And how may this be accomplished? By prayer, My children; by good example; constructive criticism. You cannot give full confidence to satan or his agents. You cannot expect another to take your part in this battle of the spirits. Each and every one of conscionable age must now go forward as a bearer of truth and light. These days, My children, are the days that had been spoken of and written of by the prophets of old.” – Our Lady, December 7, 1977

“BY GOOD EXAMPLE AND MANY PRAYERS YOU WILL BRING THE PRIESTHOOD BACK INTO THE LIGHT”
"Remember, My child and My children, no matter how rough the road gets, you will stay within your parish church. And by good example and many prayers you will bring the priesthood back into the light. Many have lost their way because there are so few who pray for them. Remember, My children, to pray for your clergy, for they are human also and subject to error, mistakes, influence, and sometimes, pure evil. Pray for your priests daily, My children.” – Our Lady, June 17, 1989
