“I see a sword suspended over St. Peter’s...blood is now flowing over the sword onto St. Peter’s...I see the foundation being shaken and a division occurring...”

August 19, 1978 - Eve of the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

     Veronica - The sky all about the trees is becoming a very pale blue in color. Through the center of the sky I can see Our Lady coming forward. The light is so brilliant. And Our Lady has Her hands extended in front of Her like this, and the rays are coming out from Her fingers. It appears that way. It’s lighting all the sky all about Our Lady. She looks so beautiful!

     Our Lady has on a pale blue mantle this evening, and a gown—the whiteness is so brilliant in contrast to the pale blue. Our Lady has a blue scarf-like belting, a piece of material, a long piece, I would say, belted about Her waist. It’s identical in color to Her mantle. Our Lady is now extending Her Rosary out, the golden crucifix of the Rosary, out 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 is looking all about Her. It’s quite windy, and the wind is catching Our Lady’s skirts. I can see now Her feet. They look very delicate in the light. Our Lady has on a pair of sandals, and directly at her insteps there is a golden rose on each sandal. It looks very beautiful. Now Our Lady is taking Her Rosary, Her Rosary, and kissing the crucifix like this. Now Our Lady is placing Her hands in a posture of prayer, with the fingers together. Now She is placing the first finger of Her right hand to Her lips, which means to listen and repeat.

     Our Lady - “My child and My children, I come to you with a message of great urgency to mankind. As fast as We accelerate the prayers upon earth, the prince of darkness gathers his forces to do great battle with all children of the light.

Many Marian workers needed

    “O My children, Our hearts are torn. We need now so many, many Marian workers to go forth in the world with candles of light in knowledge for those who have been misled and are straying into darkness.

     “O My children, it appears that mankind has given himself over to perversion. The Eternal Father is much distressed by mankind—the scientific minds of man on earth seeking to create life. This cannot be done. The Eternal Father only has the key to life.

     “My children, you do not know what you are doing. Scientists must stop at once their pryings, their experimentation into a realm that has brought them in league and contact with the very forces of hell, Lucifer and his agents. Man has defiled his body in many ways, and man has darkened his spirit and has now contaminated the temple of his spirit, his human body.

     “O My children, if I could only take you to the edge of the abyss and allow you to watch the souls that are falling daily into hell, forever damned by their sins committed in their lifetime upon earth.

     “My children, My Son’s Church is being fired upon by satan. As I warned you in the past, Lucifer has entered My Son’s House, His Church, to do battle now, as he knows he has been given but a short time to work his will among mankind—as he is the prince of darkness and the prince of the world now. Each and every soul placed upon earth by the Eternal Father has been given a mission to fight Lucifer and his agents and return victorious to Heaven from whence the Eternal Father has created you.

No man will be able to create and sustain life

    “My children, no man upon earth, with all his knowledge, will be able to create and sustain life. What he is producing now is an empty shell, a soulless ‘it’, a thing of abomination.

     “My child and My children, Lucifer knows how to reach mankind, for man has given himself over to pride and arrogance. You must all pray constantly that you do not fall into error. My children, as parents now you have full responsibility for the salvation of your household. Your children are now at the mercy of those who are outside the doors of your home. Many demons are loosed upon earth now with Lucifer, and they shall enter into the bodies of mankind and work their will.

     “I hear, My children, voices asking in supplication: ‘And who shall be seated upon the Seat of Peter?’ At the present time, My children, I give you this counsel: that an antipope is being deliberated upon. You must pray more now. Pray for your bishops, your cardinals. The delusion and the darkness is deepening in Rome.”

     Veronica - Now I see a picture, an image, being formed in the sky as Our Lady now is moving over to the right side of the sky. She is hanging Her head down upon Her chest. She looks very sad. Our Lady now is pointing.

     Our Lady - Look, My child, at the dangers that exist now upon earth and in My Son’s House.”

     Veronica - Directly over Our Lady’s statue there is a great outline forming of St. Peter’s in Rome. I see a sword suspended over St. Peter’s, and I see over the sword the tiara of the papacy, the papal crown. And I see now flowing blood from a chalice beneath the crown, between the crown and the hand of the sword which is in the form of a cross. The blood is now flowing over the sword and onto St. Peter’s, and as it is flowing down I see the very foundation being shaken and a division occurring, and many smaller divisions occurring.

     Our Lady now is motioning to listen.

     Our Lady - “My child and My children, you must all go forward now as disciples for My Son and warn the world that this division must not take place. A house divided shall fall.

     “My Son has counseled you, and I repeat anew: if you conform to the world, you will die on the vine! My Son is the vine, and you are the branches. The Eternal Father directs all. A good tree will not promote bad fruit. My children, understand My counsel. By their fruits are they known. All that is rotten shall fall. Though they be few in number, My Son’s Church shall stand, as My Son is the foundation.

     “There are many who are being misled, led astray. Remember, My children, the road to hell is often paved by good intentions. You must not accomplish, or try to accomplish, anything in relation to movements within My Son’s Church now, without prayer and direct counsel from Heaven, for Lucifer is waiting to take over the Seat of Peter.

     “Before the forming of the coming council, the conclave, you will all pray daily the beads of prayer, the Rosary, that the Seat of Peter shall not be covered in darkness.

     “My children, I counsel you again to retain your sacramentals and wear them. You cannot be without your armor in this battle. The evil is accelerating. Lucifer will make a concerted effort to stop you. I am, as your Mother, preparing you for this battle by guidance from My Son in the Eternal Father and the Holy Spirit of Light.

The people must now save My Son’s Church

    “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.

     “I beg you, pastors in My Son’s House, to wash your garments in suffering and prayer, for you have sullied them in your quest for worldly power and riches. You must divest yourself of all self-seeking, and return My Son’s House and gather the sheep into one fold, but not gather them at the expense of Tradition.

     “You cannot separate Tradition from your Faith, My children. The past leaders of My Son’s Church, His House, the popes, had given you counsel to strengthen this House. You cannot cast this counsel aside for modernistic tendencies and modes. A church in darkness wears a band of death about it!

     “My children, you will continue now with your prayers of atonement. Pray constantly for your cardinals in Rome. The outcome of the council will be the deciding focal point for the coming of the Warning and great Chastisement to mankind.”

     Veronica - Now Our Lady is moving back to the center of the sky. She’s standing now directly over Her statue high in the sky, and Our Lady is taking Her Rosary like this, with the crucifix, 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 My Son, the Eternal Father, in the Spirit of Light. Continue now with your prayers. They are sorely needed.”

     [Pause]

     Veronica - ... a very deep pink coloring. I can’t explain the color. It’s a very warm color that has quite an impact on your emotions when you view it as it’s rising, like it’s coming from the trees itself, all about them. Directly over Our Lady’s statue the sky is opening up. It’s been very dark this evening; however, the sky seems to be folding out from a central point of light.

     And coming through the light I can see Jesus coming forward. He has nothing upon His feet. They’re bare, and I can see the marks of the crucifixion on His insteps. Jesus has on a beige gown. It’s very loose-fitting, very full and loose-fitting. About His waist there is a belting made from a material, I believe it is, but it could be some type of animal skin. It’s narrow, but it’s a coarse-type of material, the belting. And Jesus has on a cape. The cape is not a red; it looks almost like a purple, a plum color, this evening.

     Jesus is looking about Him. Now He’s raising His hand forward like this, with His three fingers extended: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Now Jesus’ hair is blowing very loosely about His shoulders, and He’s looking over to His right. His eyes are very piercing. Now He’s smiling, and He’s touching His first finger to His lips.

     Jesus - “My child, I do not wish to give you difficult days. However, Our direction to you is given for reason, My child. You must understand that Lucifer always seeks to remove you from your mission. Therefore, you will follow Our direction most carefully. Send out quickly the Message from Heaven. There is no time to lose.

     “My child, you will be very busy before you leave on a mission.

The days coming filled with news for mankind

    “The days coming will be days filled with news for mankind, and I say unto you as your God: it is in the will of the Eternal Father that the world of man upon earth must make a decided change for the better, or the world must come to a closing of the era.

     “I do not have to repeat over and over the warnings given from Heaven through My Mother, Who has wandered from coast to coast, country to country, trying desperately to reach your hearts before it is too late. Through countless earth-years Her direction was given and cast aside. An apathy had set in to the hearts of many.

     “My children, you have little time left to go about with your ears closed. You will listen to My Mother’s counsel and act upon it. The sins of mankind are crying out for a just punishment, the Chastisement of the Ball of Redemption.

The U.S. soon to be divided in land by disaster

    “As in the time of Noe Heaven sent to mankind prophets, instruments for warning the world of a coming disaster, I say unto you now as your God: enough warnings have been given! My Mother has pleaded your cause well, or many more would have been removed from the earth in disasters. My children, your country, the United States, shall soon be divided in land by disaster. Many souls shall be lost to the world, and many souls shall be lost to Heaven.

     “My children, all who have received the grace to hear and accept My Mother’s Mission from Heaven must now go forward as disciples of these latter days. You must counsel all within hearing of the coming Chastisement. No man, woman, or child shall be lost unless it is of his wish, his will. We cannot force you into the Kingdom of Heaven. It must be a desire of the heart. However, many of good charity and love have offered their prayers and sacrifices for your repatriation. As such, many can enter Heaven, not on their own full merit but by the sacrifice of others who care.

Disturbances of nature shall now increase

    “Earthquakes, disturbances of nature, shall now increase and claim many lives. I shall not give you a full accounting of the plan from Heaven to redeem your world. All I will tell you now is that you must pray a constant vigilance of prayer. Do penance, make atonement to the Eternal Father, who is much offended by the sins of your generation.

     “The world, the earth, the abode of the prince of darkness, has become a cesspool of sin reaching into each and every nation. No nation on earth now is free of this corruption. There are little pockets, sections of each nation, that is trying with diligence and prayer to restore that nation, My children. These little lights from Heaven shall keep the flicker of faith in the hearts of the few. I say ‘the few’, because I cry out often, ‘When I return in the final battle, shall I find even a flicker of faith burning in the hearts of man?’ My pastors, shall I tearfully and with regret have to gather the faithful and true ones in one small section, and shall I have to banish others into the abyss of damnation? The final outcome for mankind lies within your domain!

New York, the city of sin, shall fall!

    “You are well aware of the city of sin, New York, the center, the cancer for evil, that has infected all nations of the world. As such this city shall fall! My children, do not be afeared of this message, for those who are to be saved shall be removed.

     “You will all now keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your country and the world. Pray for your bishops, your cardinals in Rome. The decision they are planning shall bring on a great catastrophe to My Church and to the peoples of the world, for many souls shall be lost unless they change this decision.

     “My children, wear your sacramentals, I caution you anew. Pray always, morning, noon, and night, for you never know when the angel of death shall place his hand upon you.”

     Veronica - Now Jesus is extending His hand out, like this, and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Now Jesus is pointing over to His right side, our left side of the sky, and there is forming a large ball-like, globe-like figure, and above it a very black cross. The light all about it seems to becoming darker and fading. The cross has become almost a somber black.

     Now Jesus is going, crossing across the sky. He’s going over to the right side, our right side of the sky, His left. Our Lady has come down from behind Him. I didn’t see where She was standing before. And They’re going across the sky to our right side. Now Jesus is extending His hand out like this, 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 to the right, and They’re crossing the sky now, and They’re going right over past the tip of Our Lady’s statue. I can see now the rustling of Jesus’ gown and Our Lady’s. They’ve come down very low, down to the exedra. And Our Lady now is looking about Her. She has Her Rosary, the beautiful large Rosary, in Her right hand, and She’s holding the crucifix up. Now She’s cutting across the sky, just floating. She’s not walking, She’s just floating behind Jesus. Now Jesus is bending over.

     I can see now over on the right side, too, the sky is opening up, and there are many many angelic-looking figures in long white robes coming down, and they’re now grouping about Our Lady. And also some are now moving over towards Jesus. Now Jesus is bending down 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 Jesus is nodding. He’s saying something to Our Lady. I cannot hear. Our Lady is now—I can just see the movement of Her lips. I can’t hear what She’s saying. Now They’re going across the sky, and They’re both now standing together and nodding.

     Jesus - “Continue now, My children, with your prayers of atonement.”
