"There is great value in suffering."

"My children of America, you disarm foolishly!"

December 6, 1975
In honor of the Immaculate Conception

     Veronica - The sky was very dark. The clouds are now passing over, and the sky is becoming a very deep blue, a beautiful blue color. And there is a large cloud now coming forward, and Our Lady is just above the cloud.
     Our Lady is dressed all in white, a beautiful white gown, pure white, and the mantle about Her head is also white. It has no trim. It's a very simple-looking gown, but beautifully and fully cut. Oh, there is a belt of white cord about Our Lady's waist. Her feet are bare; She has no slippers on. Our Lady is standing now, and She's looking over the crowds of people. And Our Lady now is touching Her lips. That means to listen.
     Our Lady - "My child, the evil is accelerating. We have watched the development throughout your world.
     "You must pray a constant vigilance of prayer for your clergy. Do not be concerned, My child, if the Message from Heaven is not accepted by all. You must understand human nature. A message will be rejected, My child, when it meets with disfavor or is not understood. Therefore, you will give the message and pray that the Holy Spirit will enlighten those who read this message.

     "Our hearts are greatly saddened by the evils and abominations being committed in the houses of God throughout the world. Man has given himself to all pleasures of the flesh. Luxury in your country, My children, has been your downfall, for you have forgotten your God and you have starved your soul.
     "The Eternal Father is most merciful, My children, and He will chastise those He loves. There is great value in suffering. Many will carry heavy crosses, My children, in the days ahead.
     "In the city of Rome, the light is dim. The battle continues, the battle of the spirits. The sheep are being separated from the goats by the Eternal Father. In the end all that is rotten will have fallen.

     "You are living in the days of trial, the days written of by Saint John in the Apocalypse, the Revelations to mankind. Do not reject as hearsay, or the thoughts from the hearts of mere man, these Revelations, My children, for this prophecy was given to you from the Eternal Father. It is for your knowledge to use in these days.
     "Do you not recognize the signs of your times? You are approaching fast the day of great chastisement. There will be gnashing of teeth and much woe set upon the earth by the dark one. Satan has massed his forces among you. All manner of grave deception is being set before you. Pray much, a constant vigilance of prayer, My children; even the elect are deluded at this time.
     "If I could pull back the curtain for you, My children, and reveal the full scope of what mankind is doing throughout your world, you would shudder with fright, knowing that so many promises were made but are not being fulfilled. And why, My children, why are these promises not fulfilled? Because they are made from the mouths and hearts of the unbelievers.
     "The word of an atheist, My children, is nothing, for he uses whatever means—foul and degraded, it matters not to him, for the end will justify his means. That is the rule of an atheist, My child.
     "Human life is of no value to the unbeliever. The unbeliever, My children, does not know of the life beyond the veil. Therefore, he is running wildly throughout his world, gathering all manner of worldly riches; for his kingdom is upon earth with satan, and his future is with satan.
     "The road to the Eternal Kingdom of the Father in Heaven is a narrow one, My children. Once you leave, it is most difficult to return.
     "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.
     "My children, I must enlighten you on a sad fact. You shall not win converts by joining in their errors and misrepresentations. Prayer is the most powerful weapon against evil. You cannot condone a wrong; you cannot compromise your Faith. You must not join the enemies of My Son. All who do not accept Him as the Messiah, all who reject Him in His House—they are of the Antichrist!

My children of America, you disarm foolishly!
     "There is a conspiracy of evil throughout your world, My children. This conspiracy seeks to unite all under what they call one fold and one shepherd. But they are deceived. My Son is the shepherd. He will come and set all to right in due time. But evil man has set himself up as an idol for worship. He caters now to the basic carnal nature of mankind. The cross of My Son is being bent to the left. The cross of My Son is bending, heavy under the weight of traitors!
     "There are cries of peace and brotherhood going throughout your world, My children; but there is no peace, there is no brotherhood, for the plotters are at work. They constantly arm themselves; and you, being deceived, My children of America, you disarm foolishly!
     "You must tread carefully in the days ahead, My children. Watch and pray a constant vigilance of prayer that the truth may be known to your fellow men.
     "There are many false prophets throughout the world, My children. You will recognize them by their fruits.
     "Astrology is a false science. All who practice this false science are unbelievers. They constantly polish the cup, make it shining and appealing to mankind, but inside they have all manners of sin and abomination—filthy with corruption.
     "The world in complete pattern, My child, is moving fast to a climax. As promised in many messages given to seers throughout the world, My child, there is no end of your world in full destruction, but there will be a gradual cleansing by trial. The Ball of Redemption shall bring a baptism of fire upon mankind.
     "Recognize, My children, the signs of your times.
     "You will pray for your Vicar, Pope Paul VI. He is laid low under a heavy cross, My children.

     "Those who should support him, those whom he trusts most, are now plotting to remove him from the Seat of Peter. The impostor, My child, that I spoke of with you, he is a professional man of the acting trade. He has done his job well.
     "My child, the message, the knowledge has been given to Rome. Now, My children, We shall see what course of action they will take to correct their error.
     "Do not be concerned, My child, of the world's opinion and mankind's rejection, for My own will know Me. I am truly the light in a darkened world, My child. I say this not in pride, but in fact and reality. I bring the light, the Message from Heaven, in the will of My Son. I come to you as a Mother, a Mother of great heart, with great hope. I come to prepare you, as your Mother, and to warn you that you must now change from your ways that offend the Eternal Father much.
     "A great delusion has been set upon mankind. You must not follow into this net! There is an octopus of evil spreading slowly throughout your world. The center, the nucleus, a group of leaders, bent, My children, on world conquest.
     "It is not a conquest for souls, but for the destruction of souls. It is a conquest not for the Eternal Father in Heaven, but satan. It is a world gathering of man and mankind.
     "When the world and My Son's Church becomes one, know that the end is at hand.
     "My child, much help will be sent to you. Many arms are needed.
     "The sands are running fast through the hourglass, My child. There is a balance in time for mankind. The Eternal Father is the final judge.

     "There must be change, My children, but a change back to reality and Tradition. My Son has given you a true foundation, but many come now with axes and they chop away. They seek to build a church without spirit, a church of man. The walls will crumble, the earth will shake. The Eternal Father will send His wrath upon mankind.
     "I do not seek to place fear in the hearts of My children, but I must warn you and prepare you for what will happen if you are not successful in turning mankind back from his sins and abominations.
     "You must all go forward, My children, sending the message throughout the world. If the door is slammed in your face, keep going. There are many doors to knock at.
     "There will be many saints coming out of the great tribulation. They will be called the latter-day saints, My children. There are crowns of joy, stars, and lights awaiting many who will come over the veil as martyrs.
     "The children must be guided by the family. The truth, the Faith, the Tradition must be instilled in their hearts by the mothers and fathers of a family. Do not expect your children to go beyond your doors and be instructed in truth, for the world has been given to satan. Many who should be showing a firm and true example have gone the easy way of the flesh, for they care more for the treasures and glory of this world, earth, than what the future has for them.
     "Hell is open wide; the abyss is filling continuously with souls that have fallen into darkness. Will you not rescue them, My children, with your acts of sacrifice and prayer?
     "The Message from Heaven is growing and growing, My children. There is great hope in Our heart that We can put off for a time the great Chastisement.
     "The Warning, as promised, will soon be given to mankind. Many will see and still not believe, for their hearts are hardened. They have closed their ears to the voice of truth.
     "Pray, My children, a constant vigilance of prayer. Save yourselves in the Sacred Heart of My Son, present in all the tabernacles throughout the world."
     Veronica - Now Our Lady is placing Her crucifix in front of Her, like this. She has the most beautiful Rosary. It has very large white Hail Mary beads, and a huge golden Our Father bead; and the crucifix is also golden. And Our Lady is extending it in front of Her and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
     Our Lady - "I bless you all, My children, for the Eternal Father in My Son and in the Holy Ghost. Many graces of cure and conversion shall be given from this mission."
     Veronica - Now Our Lady is going over to our left side, and She's looking down. It's so brilliant, the light about Her, I can barely look into Her face. Oh, the light is so bright! Snow white garments! Oh, they just are so brilliant! I don't think I've ever seen anything so white and bright. Oh!
     Now Our Lady is extending Her crucifix out and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
     Our Lady - "You will sit now, My child, and read the photographs. Much is given in secret."
     [Pause]
     Veronica - All who are able, please kneel. The sky is opening up. It was very dark, but there's a tremendous circular light coming just above Our Lady's statue's head. It's far up into the sky. There is no distance; I can't even judge the distance. It's a tremendous crystal-clear light. And now, just in the center, Jesus is coming forward. Oh, it's as though the sky has just opened up, parted and opened up in this brilliant, glass-like light. There's no way I can explain it.
     Oh, now Jesus has on a burgundy-colored cape. It's tied at His neck by this ... it's like a tassel-like golden cord. And it's quite windy because Jesus' gown is blowing. Now He has on His feet—I can see Jesus' feet; He has these brown sandals. They have a strap across His instep, and there are two pieces of brown leather-like skin forming the feet of the sandal.
     Oh, now Jesus is motioning. He's touching His lips. That means to listen in silence.
     Jesus - "My child, in obedience to My Mother you have made great progress in sending the Message from Heaven throughout the world. You must expect to meet with resistance from the enemies of My Church. This opposition, My child, you must not take to heart, for you are succeeding when you bring and flush the enemy out.
     "The opposition, My children, will come from those who have given themselves to the world of satan. You must pray a constant vigilance of prayer.
     "I admonish My pastors, those who have gathered My flock, My sheep, to take a good look at yourselves. Contemplate in prayer; retire from your world which has been given to satan. You must make your decision now, if you will fulfill your role upon earth as pastors, as leaders of My flock. If not, you will be taken from among them. Your soul in darkness shall continue fast into the abyss.
     "Many who have been given the highest honors in My Church have used their positions of leadership to destroy the knowledge of the light from Heaven, to destroy souls by misleading. Errors abound in My House, errors built with motives of self-gain and glory. What will it get you? What do you gain when you destroy your soul?
     "I do not have to repeat anew the warnings given to you in the past. You will act upon these warnings and restore My House! I have given you a firm foundation of Faith. What are you building now? Churches of man?
     "All that is rotten will fall. A Church in darkness wears a band of death about it!
     "You must not take the knowledge of hell from the minds of the children and your sheep, pastors! There is a hell, the abyss of satan, and there is a place of purging. All must be purified, through trial, if necessary, before they can enter the eternal Kingdom.
     "Heaven was made, My children, for all, but all do not enter. The Faith must be accepted. Many shall enter, but in this present trial and the trials and chastisements which will soon come upon you, only a few will be saved.
     "Contemplate, My children, upon the full message given to you through My Mother. She has been sent to you as a Mediatrix between God and man. If you reject Her counsel, you will be lost. She has promised to gather you all under Her mantle of protection and guidance. My Mother shall be with you and among you until I arrive after the great Chastisement.
     "I will come soon, because if I do not, there will be no flesh left upon your earth. Your countrymen and the leaders of your world have now, in their greed and avarice, made instruments of destruction—satan-inspired destruction of the human body! The value for life, the human life, is gone. Death shall be rampant—murders and abominations, all because man has given himself to a life of sin. Wars are a punishment for man's sins.
     "What can I tell you, My children? Shall I cover you with hope and optimism and delude you in the face of reality? I give you hope over the veil. What can I promise you upon your earth? Mankind himself now holds the balance for his own destruction.
     "The Eternal Father does not send this destruction upon you, but you will provide this yourselves.
     "The Ball of Redemption shall come upon you, guided by the Eternal Father—the final chastisement.
     "Many shall be brought back through suffering in the days ahead. Do not fall into the fallacy that many give out now, My children. They try to overbuild you with optimism. They delude you into peace and brotherhood, an aura of peace and brotherhood, when there is no peace and there is no brotherhood; for they have removed the knowledge of your God from among you.

     "The peace promised by My Mother will not come at this time. Man has set himself on the road to great tribulation.
     "All who are of well spirit will have nothing to fear. They will go through this crucible of suffering with hope and courage, for they will have their armor, a knowledge of the value of prayer, and hope in the eternal Kingdom.
     "It will be a battle, My children, I assure you, a battle such as never has been seen upon your earth, and never will be seen again. All will enter into this battle. Every man, woman, and child shall feel its effects.
     "All of the age of reasoning shall be tested. Many young shall be taken from your world to protect their souls.
     "Re-read, My children, the messages given through My Mother and other seers throughout the world. Learn by them and act upon them, for you have been given the pattern for your future."
     Veronica - Now Jesus is coming over to the left side, our left side, just above the tree far over on the left, and He's bending down now and He's making the sign of the cross with His hand extended with His three fingers: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
     Now it's getting very windy as Jesus is going across now, the sky. He's not walking, He just glides. He's like carried on the wind. And right behind Him now is Michael.
     Michael is coming down and standing just behind Jesus. He's a tremendous figure! Oh, he covers the whole sky! He's huge, a true warrior of Heaven. He's so tremendous! Oh, his whole head—it's not out of proportion, but it's so tremendous a size. And his hair is glistening now. He has a metallic-colored hair, of—oh, a bronze-like gold. There's no way I can explain it, but it's not human; it's absolutely metallic-looking.
     Now Jesus is going over to His left side, our right side, and He's bending down and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
     Jesus - "I bless you all, My children. Many graces have been given and many graces will be given in this battle ahead. Gather your armor. Do not be without them, for you will find great strength and courage knowing that the eventual victory is with My Mother."
     Veronica - In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
     Jesus - "Continue, My children, with your prayers of atonement. They are sorely needed."
