"You must well understand the plan of the enemy"

December 28, 1976
Eve of the Holy Family

Veronica - There is a glistening of glass-like particles falling. There are thousands, perhaps even millions, of these glass-like particles. A voice is saying: "Graces, My child, graces."

Now directly over Our Lady's statue, the sky is opening. It's becoming very warm and brilliant. Our Lady is coming forward from the center of this opening in the sky. It must be warm up there, because Our Lady is dressed in Her usual garments—a flowing white dress with the blue sash about Her waist, and She has on a most beautiful light blue mantle about Her head. I cannot see Our Lady's hair.

Our Lady is carrying in Her left hand a very large brown Scapular. And She is now touching Her waist. But I notice the Rosary, the beautiful white Rosary with the golden Our Fathers that is hanging from Her waist. Our Lady has the Rosary tied about the right section of Her sash. Our Lady is touching Her lips with Her first finger.

Our Lady - "My child, We rejoice because of the great penance that many choose to perform for the salvation of souls.

"Our hearts are torn because of the wanton murder of the young by evil man. Abortion, My children, is murder, the most foulest of deeds, that is punishable by death! And what is worse than death of the soul?

"I say unto you, as your Mother, that any man or woman who performs or takes part of this abomination of the murder of the unborn shall be given a heavy penance upon earth, or if this penance is not given upon earth, that person found guilty in the eyes of his God shall suffer eternal damnation in the fires of hell.

"O My children, there are countless souls being returned to the Father. And you ask, My child, what becomes of them? Limbo is overflowing with the rejected souls, the murders of the unborn. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer for the men of sin who perpetrate these atrocities.

"It is all, My children, part of the diabolical plan to reduce man to a state of servitude to evil. There are Masters in the world, Grand Masters in the world, who now seek to govern the lives of every man, woman, and child. They are gathering together to bring mankind under servitude.

"My children, you are aware of one arm of the octopus that you know as communism. I assure you, My children, that is but one small arm of the octopus that is reaching out in all directions upon earth to engulf man and enslave him. These arms reach out to promote a one-world government and a one-world religion, a religion that shall not have My Son as its head.

"The greatest harm to mankind is being promoted through the channel of My Son's Church. Many who wear the red hats have not turned to My Son. They reject His divinity; they reject Him as part of the Godhead. They reject Him as their God, and they have joined forces with the prince of darkness and his consorts.

"My children, I repeat over and over through countless earth-years My message of warning to mankind. I travel all throughout your world, appointing through the Father in Heaven, many voice-boxes to shout My message throughout your world. The time for easy speaking, My child, is over. The time for walking softly is over. You must now run fast and shout it from the rooftops!

"All of the messages given through My voice-boxes must come forth and be renewed in the minds and hearts of mankind. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer throughout your world. Pray for your bishops. Many mitres are falling into hell.

"Your world, your countries have given themselves to debasement and debauchery. There is eating and drinking, and marrying, and giving into marriage. And many marriages are not sacred. Many marriages are frowned upon by your God.

"O My children, you cannot stray from the light and reach happiness of mind or spirit. When a man accepts blindness of heart, he will go searching for the light, but without the special grace from Heaven he will go farther into the darkness. Seek; ask, and you shall be given the way.

"There is a great spirit of darkness covering the Eternal City of Rome. I, your Mother, as Mediatrix between God and man, implore you now to turn back, for you are creating your own destruction. A Church in darkness wears a band of death about it!

"My children, pastors in My Son's House, you must not compromise your Faith! What manner of church are you creating? Who has yielded My Son into the hands of the enemies of God?

"My children, the time is growing short. There are many victim souls now in your world who have carried the balance, the balance that grows heavily to the left. When the peak of iniquity is reached, know that the final cleansing of mankind shall be at hand!

"My children, I cannot, as your Mother, refrain from bringing to you the facts. I give you hope in My Son. Remain with Him at the tabernacles in your world. I bring you confidence from My Son, that if you persevere you will overcome all of the evils now rampant in your world.

"You have been given by My Son a firm foundation of faith. He has sent among you, through past centuries, prophets of the light. My Son left with you your Bible. You must not change it. The rules cannot be compromised! Tradition is Faith! My children, you are building a church of darkness! The Red Hat has fallen and the Purple Hat is being misled.

"And the maidens who have given themselves in dedication to their God, what have you done to yourselves? You disport yourselves as harlots! Vanity, pride, self-seeking, materialistic—virgins of Christ who are no longer virgins of Christ! Whatever shall become of you? You are not nuns, you are a miss—a misfortune to your vocation!

"Your God, the Eternal Father, commands that you promote respect for your vocation by proper dress of modesty. The Eternal Father, your God, commands that you retire from the world that has been given to satan. You must be a true and pure spirit, an example to all mankind. And you have used yourselves and your role as nuns to destroy souls by your poor example! O ye of little faith, whatever shall become of ye?"

Veronica - Now the sky is growing very dark all about Our Lady. Over on our right side, over the papal flag, there is forming a large black cross, a very ominous sign. Now over Our Lady's head the sky is opening up, and I see the whole area around Saint Peter's. I see the big dome-like cathedral and the square with people walking.

Now as I watch, I see the Vatican being divided, split—split by the blood of the Vicar. Oh! Oh, it's very frightening! Now standing above Saint Peter's in the sky, I can see Pope Paul. He's very thin, emaciated looking. He's holding his hand over his heart, and the blood is pouring down from his fingers onto his robe, and down over Saint Peter's. It's a very frightening sight!

Now over on the right side, the left side of Pope Paul, the sky is getting brighter. And there's a huge eagle now forming in the sky, coming out from back in the sky. And the eagle is almost black in appearance. And there's a voice shouting, like a screeching sound: "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth! Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth!"

Now over on the left side of the sky, directly above the first tree branch, there is an angel standing. The angel is dressed in a long white robe, and he has in his hand a horn, a very strange-looking instrument. It has a very long and rounded cup in the end, a long stem with a rounded cup. And he's starting to raise his horn to his mouth, and I can hear a blast coming out of it. It's a very frightening type of sound. It gives me a feeling of gathering of forces, like a war about to start.

Now the sky is becoming very dark. Everything is disappearing. It seems to be like evaporating from both sides of the sky, and Our Lady is coming forward directly over Her statue. Our Lady is bowing Her head sadly, as though She is saying, yes, yes.

Our Lady - "My child, symbolism mystifies you for a time, but you will understand all.

"Your world has rejected the call from Heaven. Your world asks for a chastisement. Your world is heading for a destruction greater than mankind has ever experienced. It will be the time of all times, and the Day of your Lord.

"My children, keep a constant vigilance of prayer. Guard your children against the forces that lie in wait for them when they leave the protection of your home. You, as parents, must be vigilant to protect your children's souls and prepare them to go over the veil.

"The sacramentals given to you were given for good reason. Do not cast them aside; do not be swayed by those scoffers who call them idol worship. Understand, My children, when man is at war the enemy will seek to take down his guard. And man of the spirit is at war now, and the enemy seeks to destroy him.

"It will be brother against brother and sister against sister; and it shall be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, as satan has set himself in their midst. Persevere to the end and you will be saved. All who acknowledge My Son before man shall be acknowledged by Him before the Father.

"And I repeat again: what will it gain you if you gather all of your world's treasures and lose your soul? How long is a lifetime upon your earth? What does it compare with your life over the veil, your eternal life that has no ending? Only you must decide where you will spend your eternal life: with the Father in Heaven or long tormented years in purgatory for purging, or shall you spend eternity in damnation and the fires of hell?

"My children, you must well understand the plan of the enemy. If he can take from your minds the knowledge and the realization of the existence of hell and purgatory, he will condone sin in your society. And sin has become a way of life for many of you. Awaken from your blindness and search for the light. I have set many candles about in your world. You will not remain in darkness if you will seek the light. My Son is the way. Ask; send your voices in supplication to the Eternal Father and you will be guided out of your darkness.

"My children, I repeat My promise to mankind that I shall be with you here upon your earth unto the arrival, the Second Coming of My Son. What was to happen in your future shall be now. Because of man's stubbornness and sinful lives, what was to happen in the future shall be now.

"Pray a constant vigilance of prayer. Retain, nourish, and preserve your Faith, My children. Do not succumb to the wiles of satan, satan who will act within the bodies of any man, woman, or child that has given himself to sin.

"There will be much woe and gnashing of teeth set upon your earth by the evil man of perdition. My children, you must understand your times. Recognize the signs of your times about you, and you will know how to overcome the evils.

"Wear your sacramentals; they are your armor in the days ahead. Keep the monuments in your homes. All who keep them are to be saved.

"Remain with My Son in the Eucharist. Nourish your souls with the Bread of life. You cannot have the light within you unless you partake of this Bread of life.

"There will be peace, My children, but not before the world has been cleansed. A heavy penance will be set upon mankind. But there will be peace with the coming of My Son. He will dry all tears. He will take the torments from hearts, and man shall be restored to his true nature.

"Man has far strayed from the plan deemed by the Father for him. Man has rebelled against his God, and his God must now set in plan a measure to retrieve the straying sheep.

"As humans, My children, you cannot understand the ways of the Eternal Father, but trust in Him. He has a plan for all. The adversary, satan, will be given his time, but his time will then be ended.

"Prepare your children well, and they shall not bring sorrow to your hearts. Children must return to the fold. Children must have respect for their parents, respect for their elders, and children must remain pure of heart and pure of spirit. This We find lacking now in your world. The purity of your children has been destroyed!

"Parents must struggle now to retain the Faith in the lives of their children. You must accept the responsibility for the salvation of your children's souls. Teach them; prepare them; fortify them against the rigors of the attacks of satan when they leave the comfort and the safety of their homes. Do not expect your pastors to guide you now. Many have fast fallen into darkness, and must be brought out themselves.

"You will all keep a constant vigilance of prayer. Pray for your priests; pray for your pastors; pray for your children.

"My voice is carried throughout your world, and many have hardened their hearts and closed their ears. And why? Because pride and arrogance have blinded them to the truth. Only prayer, penance, and atonement can bring them back."

Veronica - Our Lady now is taking Her Rosary from about Her waist, and She's extending the crucifix, the beautiful golden crucifix forward, like this, and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Our Lady now is turning over to Her right side, our left side, and going directly above the banner, between the banner and the first bough of the tree. She's bending over, extending Her crucifix, and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Now behind Our Lady, Saint Michael is coming forward. He's a tremendous size; he's covering the whole sky. I can't explain the dimensions. It's unbelievable to see how very large he is! Now he's truly a guardian for Our Lady and for all souls.

And Our Lady is going over now to Her left side, that's our right side, directly above the second tree. She's bending over, 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, as the Father sends His blessing through My Son and the Holy Ghost. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer. Graces shall be given, graces and cures of the spirit, graces for cures of your body."

Veronica - Now Our Lady is going backwards. She's just floating; She's not walking. She's carried backwards directly high into the sky. The light is very brilliant. Oh, Our Lady is so beautiful! She has on golden slippers. And oh, the light is so bright! It must be very warm up there, because Our Lady doesn't look cold; She looks very brilliant and warm. Now Our Lady is touching Her lips.

Our Lady - "Continue, My child, with your prayers of atonement. They are sorely needed.

[Pause]

"A great punishment is coming to your country, the United States."

Veronica - Our Lady says that the sins of the flesh shall send many into hell.

A reprieve has been given to the bishop to keep him from falling into hell. The reprieve will be but a short one. A victim soul has been chosen to extend this reprieve to the bishop.

Rome, the Eternal City, shall have a blight. Jesus cannot smite this blight because of the sins of pride and the compromise within the hierarchy with the forces of evil. Our Lady says that Jesus, His hand is growing very heavy, and the angels are ready with the bowls. That is why the horn has been sounded.

Our Lady - "Read, My child, the photographs now."

[Pause]

Veronica - A deep pink is fanning out from the tops of the trees. Now the whole sky is lighting up directly over Our Lady's statue, but the coloring is a deep pink. It's just beautiful! Now out of the center of the sky, Jesus is coming forward. He has ... it's strange; He has no shoes on! His feet are bare. He has a long white robe. It's not white, really, the gown on Him—it's like an ecru color, a beige sort of color. And about Jesus' waist there is a cord, a cream-colored sash, like a cord, almost rope-like, the way it's tied about His waist. Jesus has on a burgundy cloak. It's down over His shoulders, His hair now is down over His shoulders. And it's quite windy, because Jesus' cloak is blowing now. He's coming very close; He's directly above Our Lady's statue. Now Jesus is shifting His cloak now, and He's taking His hand and He's touching His lips.

Jesus - "My child, you will continue to send the Message from Heaven throughout your world. Do not be slackened in your mission by the opinion of man. You must understand, My child and My children, that you will meet with great opposition, for you are now engaged in a war of the spirits. The very forces of hell are out to stop you in your mission. Understand that your road will be filled with thorns. It is truly the way of the cross.

"My children, My Mother has come to you as a Mediatrix between God and man. My Mother has directed you well. You will now act upon Her counsel, or you will fall!

"Understand, My children, that there will be scoffers who will set in motion plans to deceive the nations. Understand, My children, that you are living in the days of trial and the days spoken of by the prophets. The Armageddon is here. 666 is here. All manners of evil so foul that no human mind could have conceived them have been set loose upon earth. The very bowels of hell have opened up and spewed forth demons of great strength, demons set loose upon the earth such as have never entered upon the earth before. It is a war, a war that will test the faith of all.

"You will persevere to the end and you will be saved. You must not compromise. I repeat: you must not compromise within My House.

"Michael, guardian of the Faith, guardian of My Church, must be returned! You have cast aside your guardian and opened My doors to all manner of heretics and liars! You cannot accept the word of an atheist! You must not accept the word of a communist, for they are not of your God, but they are followers of darkness!

"My children, do not be deceived by those who go throughout your world and say, love and brotherhood; peace and prosperity, with love and brotherhood. Peace, peace, you cry, when man does not make peace. He prepares for war! Love and brotherhood—there is no love in the hearts of man, and neither is there love in the hearts of man for his God! His spirit is darkened, his eyes are blind, his heart is hardened, and that is why your world must be cleansed.

"As in the time of Noe, one was sent to you crying like a voice in the wilderness, but trying to prepare you, bringing the warning from Heaven—a warning that was ignored and cast aside with derisive laughter. I say unto you: as it was in the time of Noe, so shall it be in your generation. What was planned by the Eternal Father for your future shall be now. No man, woman, or child shall escape the testing!

"My Mother has given you My way. It is a simple road that must be followed. The rules have been given to you that must not be changed, as you cater to the basic carnal nature of man, a generation that has fallen! You will not make changes within My House, for you have dispersed My sheep. You will restore My House to its former glory. Strip you hearts of your pride! Recognize your errors and restore My House!

"I say this to you for your Creator, as your God: Restore My House, or I shall come down and restore it Myself with a firm hand! And shall you stand before Me, O pastors, and say that your teachings have been pure in My sight? I shall take you and spit you out as spittle into the fires of eternal damnation! Vermin that came out of the flowers!

"You have despoiled Our garden of souls, O pastors! You have trampled the lilies! You have trodden upon your Faith and truth. You have whittled away like rodents into My House, My Church! O man of little faith, whatever shall become of you? I repeat for your fair warning that the Red Hat has fallen and the Purple Hat is being misled. Take the blindness from your hearts. Seek the light, for you are in darkness, and a house in darkness wears a band of death about it.

"All who remain in the light of well spirit will have nothing to fear, My children. You will go forward in the days ahead with perseverance, for all who persevere to the end will be saved.

"Keep a constant vigilance of prayer in your homes, throughout your world. The power of prayer is great. The demons must flee at a constant vigilance of prayer.

"Keep pure and holy thoughts in your minds, for the eyes are the mirror for your soul. Your example, as parents, must be one of discipline, of faith, and of purity. As you sow, so shall ye reap.

"There will be, I repeat, much woe set upon the earth by the evil forces now loosed upon your earth. Recognize these signs and act upon them. Protect your children, protect your homes, and above all, pray that you, too, will not be led into darkness.

"My Mother will continue to guide you in the days ahead. My Mother, through the merciful plan of the Eternal Father, is your Mother, and as such, She will lead you through the darkness of the days ahead.

"Keep your sacramentals about you. Retain the Faith in your homes. The candles are few now, but they are lighting throughout the world, My children.

"The battle of the spirits rages and the evil is accelerating. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer throughout your nation and the world. I will send and gather among you voice-boxes, guides, and I will send to you the archangels to guide you in your days of trial, error, and sorrow."

Veronica - Now Jesus is placing His hand out, like this, in front of Him, and He's making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Now Our Lady is coming down behind Jesus, and Saint Michael is standing at Our Lady's shoulder. There's no way to explain it. He's covering the whole sky. But he's like an immense guardian over the whole area above Jesus and Our Lady. And now Jesus is going over to our left side of the sky. He's directly between the banner and the tree, the top of the tree. Now Jesus is bending over and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Now Our Lady is turning over to the left. Now Jesus is going forward, and Our Lady is just behind Him. They're coming over to the—our right side now, directly above the papal flag. Jesus is bending over and He's making the sign of the cross with His fingers, like this: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Now Jesus is going back. He's floating backwards. There's no way to explain it; He's just being carried by the wind, back. And He's pointing up now with His right hand to the sky, and in the sky is forming a very large circle. It's like a ball, and above it, the cross. It's like the whole circle of the earth, the globe of the world, and there's a cross upon it.

Now it's beginning to evaporate. It's though it was made like of a smoky figure, and it's beginning to evaporate. Now it's becoming very dark, and there still is retained in the sky this very heavy, dark cross.

Now Jesus is nodding His head, and He's touching His finger to His lips.

Jesus - "Continue now, My child, with your prayers of atonement. Mankind has come to the brink."

"My children, My little humble children, I appeal to you as your Mother, go forward on foot, knock on the doors; bring the light to your brothers and sisters. For those who have been given great grace, much is expected of them." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 26, 1976

"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
