A great darkness covers the world...

June 8, 1974
Eve of the Holy Trinity

Our Lady - “My child, your heart is heavy. You join Us in Our great sorrow. A great darkness covers the world. It is a darkness of the spirit. The road you travel will be a road filled with thorns. The cross will be heavy as you follow the path of My Son.

“The battle rages with great fury, the battle for the human soul. Satan has captured many, and has set them to bring others into the abyss. The abominations being committed in the hearts and the minds of the human race will not be tolerated much longer by the Father. My Son is being recrucified by those whom He sought to recover for the Father.

“The enemies of your Father—the Father of all creation, Who will sit in judgment soon upon mankind, He is greatly offended by the manner in which the great Sacrifice is being performed. The Father sent My Son to you as a great Sacrifice to open the doors of Heaven to a sinful generation. However, this fact has been cast aside and replaced by a scientific knowledge that has come from satan. Man in his arrogance casts aside the truth and the light, going farther into the darkness.

Not to chew the Host

“Michael has set himself over the houses of My Son. He seeks to stop the abominations being committed in these houses, churches. You will not chew My Son; you will not defame Him. You will not distort His image. You will give Him the honor that is due your God.

“Those who have been given the leadership in My Son’s House will one day stand before the Father, and will they be able to say that their leadership has been just in His eyes? Shall you stand before Him and say that your teaching has been clean of impurity?

“It is sad, My child, but true, that many care more for recognition by man than for their eternal salvation.

“My child, many turn their eyes and their hearts from the truth. They do not care. Love! The word ‘love’ We hear constantly coming to Us. Love—so few know the true meaning of love. So few are willing to sacrifice the things of this world of yours, so temporal in nature. Better that you store your treasures in Heaven.

“There is a great evil force, My child, assembling in your world. It is the satanic force of the abyss. Satan is the leader. Recognize the faces of evil about you. They will not come in their diabolical form, My child, for they must enter into the body of a human. They will do the will of satan. By their fruits will they eventually be known.

“Do not be led away from the truth. You have only one obligation, and this is to your God, not man. You will lead your soul on the path to the Kingdom of Heaven. It is a narrow road, and you cannot bargain with satan.

“Remember, My child, keep the knowledge of the light, the truth, in your heart and pass this knowledge to your brothers and sisters. My Son was sacrificed for you. How many have remembered this?

“There are, My child, many mysteries of the Faith. They cannot be made, made fully known to you at this time. Much must be hidden, for then it would be no longer sacred, My child. No human mind can fathom or conceive the true meaning of the existence of the Father in the Son and the Holy Ghost. It is far beyond the human mind to understand. This knowledge will be given to all when they pass beyond the veil. Make it known, My child, to the world: there is no death of the soul. The human body will be temporarily separated from the soul. At the end of time, both will be reunited for the glorification of the Father.

“The soul lives on forever. The soul is entered into the body at the moment of conception. We abhor, We will not tolerate the murder of the unborn! Mankind seeks a terrible chastisement far beyond what his human mind or sight can ever conceive, for his actions against the creation of the Father.

“Murderers! As such you break the Commandment of the Father ‘Thou shalt not kill.’ Damnation, eternal damnation will be the lot of all who take part in the murder of the unborn. Repent now of your sin! Make restitution to the Father, for you will be held accountable for the murders of the unborn.

“My child—”

Veronica - Oh, Our Lady is moving over now to the flagpole. She looks very beautiful. She’s dressed in a white long gown. It has a blue sash at the waist. And Our Lady looks very young. She has a white scarf that goes about Her head down to Her feet. It’s more like a cloak.

Now Our Lady is smiling, but it’s a very sad smile. I can feel how very sad Our Lady is.

Our Lady - “It truly, My child, rains teardrops from Heaven. Remember, I told you that We would go forward five and drop back to three, but advance to four. This is in the gathering of the souls, My child.

“We cry, We ask for many victim souls, victims who will give themselves for the repatriation of their brothers and sisters. Only in this manner will many be saved. The numbers in the final count will be few, My child, few when you think of the thousands upon your earth.”

Veronica - I’m seeing now—the sky is becoming very bright. And Our Lady now is pointing up to the sky over the trees. Oh, my goodness! Over the trees is a tremendous blast of fire. Oh, and I see—it looks like a world spinning. It’s a huge ball, and it’s revolving, but it’s coming through the sky very fast. And it’s shooting out these flames. Oh, they look like gas flames, because they’re—they have no depth to them; they’re very transparent. They’re fumes. But now as the ball is spinning faster—oh, my goodness! There are rocks being shot out. Oh, it’s so hot! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, my goodness!

Now Our Lady is coming forward. The ball is receding now; it’s going back into the sky. It’s very frightening. It’s very large. Oh.

Now Our Lady is coming forward, and She’s placing Her hand to Her lips.

Our Lady - “My child, I do not wish to frighten you, but I must make you aware of the terrible catastrophe that will befall mankind unless he has a change of heart in the near future. The time is running out, My child. Too few have listened to Me. I have roamed the world countless years of earth-time, but the hearts have been hardened and the ears have been deafened. Too few have sought to ease this great suffering of Mine, My child. I am truly the Mother of great sorrows.

“If the Father would give Me this power, I would send before you the picture of what is to be so that by this sight, if not through love but fear of the Father and His intervention, you will return to Us.

“Too many, My child, care more for the recognition of man than for the Father and everlasting life in the Kingdom. They are following, like sheep to the slaughter, a man.”

Veronica - Now Our Lady is pointing over past the right side of the flagpole, and I see now Michael. Oh, he’s very large, very beautiful. Oh, Michael is beyond description. Oh, he covers the whole sky, though he doesn’t look out of proportion. He’s tremendous in size. His face I can’t describe because I can’t see it too well, the light is so bright. But his hair is a metallic, a blonde, sort of a gold, but a dark sort of a gold. But it doesn’t look like human hair; it’s metallic.

Jacinta and Francisco

Now Michael, he’s placing his spear down by his side on the—you can’t say the floor; it’s by his feet, but it’s suspended in the air. And he’s motioning over. And now, coming from behind him ... oh, it’s ... I know her. Oh, it’s Jacinta, Jacinta. Oh, and Francisco’s with her. Oh, she’s very sweet looking. But she, too, looks sad.

Jacinta - “No—”

Veronica - Oh, she’s speaking. I can’t understand.

Jacinta - “No, Veronica, the picture—it was not accepted. This gives me great sorrow. But one day it will be accepted, so do not put it in your file, Veronica. Send the picture throughout the world. Perhaps then mankind will listen to what Our Lady told me to tell them when I was on earth.

Nuns would wear worldly clothes

“I, too, was asked by Our Lady to give a message. I did not understand all that Our Lady said, but I gave the message. Our Lady told me that the nuns would start to wear clothes that would offend the Father and Our Lady very much because these new fashions were created by satan to seduce the souls.”

Veronica - Now Jacinta is looking up to Michael, and Michael is bowing his head. And Our Lady now is moving over. She’s standing by the left side of the flagpole. Now She’s moving over and standing right behind Francisco. Now Jacinta is looking up at Our Lady and smiling, and Our Lady nodded Her head. And Jacinta now is going to speak.

Could not give the date

Jacinta - “Yes, I tried to warn everyone of what was going to happen to the world of the future. Our Lady said that the little Father in Rome would suffer great persecution, but much of this persecution would come from his very own, those that he trusted. That is why the picture was given to you, to send the message throughout the world.

“It is true that I gave a final message, but I, too, could not give the date—only to warn the world that a great Warning would come to mankind. It would be a great cataclysm Warning, and then there would be a great Miracle, and after that, if nothing changes and man continues to offend the Father, He would have to start this terrible, terrible trial. For there will be a great War and there will be a great, terrible Chastisement.”

Veronica - Now Jacinta is looking up to Our Lady, and Our Lady is motioning with Her hand. Now Jacinta is going over, up to the left side of Michael. Now Michael is coming forward. He’s now—the spear he carries is gone up now into the sky. And now he’s reaching out and he’s holding the spear. Now Michael is pointing the spear downward, and he’s saying:

St. Michael - “Since your perverse generation has chosen of free will to cast aside the warning from Heaven, you will, in diverse places and in your country—the once beautiful-of-spirit United States shall suffer great trial and come to its knees. What was to happen in the future shall be now! Mankind shall now determine the date.”

Veronica - Now Michael is turning back, and he’s pointing over to the left side of the flagpole, beyond the left side. And I see ... oh, I see a terrible, terrible fighting, a war. I don’t believe it’s in the United States, because these people look like they’re Egyptians, and Arabs, and dark-skinned people. And now, though, as the—I hear the great roar of bombs.

I’m looking up, and the sky’s becoming very lighted. And I am seeing thousands and thousands of people marching. But they look like Chinese, or Mongolian. No, they’re—I believe they’re Chinese; they’re Asiatic. They’re marching across the land, and they’re boarding some kind of transport. They’re going onto the water. Oh, it’s a great War. Oh! Oh!

Now Michael is coming over to the left side of the flagpole, and he’s looking down.

St. Michael - “My child, we have asked you to send the word to mankind that they will read in the Book of life, the Bible, the words given to them that will fulfill the prophecy of the latter days, Apocalypse. You are living the days of the Revelations. Read them and be knowledgeable, and you will not be caught without the light.”

Veronica - Now it’s growing very dark. Oh, Our Lady is coming forward.

Our Lady - “My child, what more can I say but to beg you to listen as We cry for your prayers, your sacrifices, the Rosary, your beads of prayer to Heaven—link to link, chain to chain—your armor against the invading forces of satan that now have full control of your world.

“Yes, My child, shout from the rooftops. There is no time now to fear man. You must go forward with the light. Carry your candles. You will all be apostles of the latter days, candles through the darkness.

“No, My child, you will not be abandoned in the struggle. As I have said before, I will repeat again: I will be here with you, with you all, until the coming of My Son in the final battle. Graces in abundance shall be given through visits to these sacred grounds, grounds chosen by the Father—graces for cure and conversion, graces for reclaiming the souls destined for the abyss.

“How many tears shall be shed by the mothers who have grown lax in their children’s guidance. Do not expect—mothers and fathers, do not expect your leadership outside your homes to bring your children pure waters of life. No! The waters they feed them now have been saturated with poison. Only you can guard your children’s souls. Do not turn them over to the agents of satan.

“Nourish your soul with My Son, the Eucharist, the Bread of life. The Eucharist, My Son’s Sacrifice for you, is the nourishment necessary for your soul. Do not partake of My Son’s Body as if it were a meal to be devoured like animals!

“My child, it is sad. But you must not judge; you cannot judge the heart. Therefore, you will pray. We know of the great sadness in your heart and the hearts of those who stand to defend the Faith, but it is not unnoticed by the Father. For all who will stand with My Son shall be recognized by the Father in Heaven.

Knees bowed, head covered

“Remember, My child, shout it from the roof. My Son is with you until the end of your time. It is truly His Presence, His Real Presence, His divine Presence, His Body and His Blood. Do not treat Him with disrespect! Bow your knees; cover your head! Do not chew Him!

“Who knows the full Divinity? Who can recognize this knowledge? Satan blinds many to this knowledge. Pray for the light.

“You will only accept My Son in the manner due the Kingship, due your God. Honor My Son; do not dishonor Him before mankind.

The black mass

“My child, you ask about the satanic infiltrations in your country. You will not at this time concern yourselves with names. It is enough that you share with the world the knowledge that there is a perpetration of satanic worship you call the black mass. The numbers who join these ranks are countless. They do honor to the prince of darkness, and they have given themselves to the prince of darkness.

“It takes great sacrifice, much prayer, great penance to bring them back from their lives of darkness—earthly lives, My child, for their souls are already dead—dead, not as you know the human body dead, but the spiritual body, soul, is dead.

“Any man who of free will has given himself to satanic worship is dead forever, damned forever to the darkness, the torment, and the abyss. Man should not experiment, My child, and seek out these agents of hell. They are there about you, but you cannot win them by joining them, for you are only mortal. Flee from any who bring knowledge of such atrocities against the Father in Heaven.

“Keep pure and holy thoughts, My child. Tell the world the soul, the mirror of the soul, are the eyes. It is not what goes in, but what develops and comes out that will destroy the soul. For the power of satan is great now.

“Wear your armor, your sacramentals. I assure you, My children, if you cast this armor aside you will be lost. They are given to you for reason. It is only the agents of hell who will try to disprove this fact with one reason: to capture your soul for satan.

Small to world but giants in Heaven

“In the days ahead, My children, you can expect great ridicule; you can expect to be thrown and cast aside, groveling under the heel of the oppressor; but know that though you be small to the world you will be giants in Heaven. For when you enter, My children, beyond the veil, you will be clothed in garments shining with light, more glorious than any human mind could ever conceive. The glories of Heaven—what human could experience this without having to enter beyond the veil?

“My child, that is why much is still hidden to you. Your human body could not survive the great ecstasy, the glory of what lies beyond the veil.”

Veronica - Oh, I see a tremendous, great light. It seems to be, it’s not a ... oh, it goes out into the sky; it’s like a cone-shaped light. It’s just beautiful! And Our Lady now is standing—She’s coming closer down by the flagpole. Our Lady is on the right side, and She’s coming down now about the middle of the flagpole. And She’s pointing up to this cone-shaped—I don’t know what it is; it’s like a light. And it’s growing smaller at the tip as it goes into the sky.

Our Lady is saying, in a very—it is so quiet, the voice is so low I can barely hear Her.

Heaven beyond farthest star

Our Lady - “You are observing, My child, the path to the farthest star. Heaven, the Kingdom of the Father, lies far beyond the farthest star. It is a place of actuality, My child. However, the human body cannot enter, as it is a force that is beyond your human knowledge to understand. It is the land of the soul, the land of the spirit, the home of the Father and all who remain faithful and true.”

Veronica - Now Our Lady is coming over. She’s going over to the right side of the flagpole. Now She’s taking Her Rosary—Our Lady had Her Rosary looped over Her belt, and She’s extending it out and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

And Our Lady is facing over now to the left side of the flagpole. Oh, She’s standing ... She’s moving over, and She is just at the right side, but facing left. And She’s raising Her beautiful golden crucifix: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Our Lady - “My child, you will be seated now until Jesus comes, as He has a most urgent message for you.”

[Pause]

Veronica - “Will you announce, please, that everyone will kneel. Jesus has been here now for at least fifteen minutes. Kneel, please.”

He’s over there on the right side of the flagpole. Now Jesus is standing on the right side of the flagpole with Our Lady. He’s been here for some time, but He was watching the display in the sky. There’s been a great display, the moving of the stars. But you’re not to be startled, because Jesus can do much more than move the stars.

Now Jesus is coming forward. He’s been standing with Our Lady for some time over by the tree here, between the flagpole and the tree. Now Jesus is smiling. And He has on a burgundy-colored robe. And now He ... the gown is cream-colored, but I can see Jesus has on sandals. They’re brown, leather-like sort of straps on His feet—more like rope, though; they’re twisted like rope.

Now Jesus is looking down. He thinks it’s quite funny the way I explain it, but.... Oh, yes. Now Jesus is coming over with Our Lady. Our Lady is joining Him. She’s on His left side, but She’s going over now to Jesus’ right side. She doesn’t walk; Our Lady is floating.

Now Jesus is shifting His robe. It always hangs, but it must be heavy because He’s putting it on His left arm. Now Jesus is putting His hand in front of Him, like this, like this: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Now Jesus said you will extend all sacramentals. However, it will not be necessary to take them from their wrappings, as He can see into them. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Now Jesus is coming over to ... He’s still on the right side of the flagpole. He’s standing there now looking down, and He’s placing His hand out, like this.

Oh, there are the rays now coming from Jesus’ hand again. And they’re coming over, they’re going over my head and they’re coming down beyond....

Oh, Jesus said the message is that:

Jesus - “Do not fear for your dedicated who have lost their way. They, too, can be recovered by your prayers and acts of sacrifice.”

Veronica - Now Jesus is going over, He’s floating over to the left side of the flagpole. He’s smiling. It’s a little windy because His hair is blowing. Jesus’ hair is quite long; it looks sort of a reddish brown, and it’s blowing. Oh, He has, Jesus has a short beard. Oh, it’s very nicely cut.

And Our Lady is behind Him now, and She’s coming over. Now Our Lady is extending Her crucifix. She has a very large golden crucifix, and the beads are white. No, they’re pink. It’s hard to say the color. They’re like white, but they—when She moves they get a pink glow. And the Our Fathers on the beads are golden.

Now Our Lady is raising Her cross, like this, and She’s blessing: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

And now Jesus is looking down; He’s smiling. He’s just about the middle between the, on the left side of the flagpole, but He’s standing just about the middle of the pole and the tree. And He’s looking down now. Now He’s placing His hand down in front of Him, like this: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Now Jesus is going up a little higher—just floats; the air carries Him up. He’s just a little below the top of the pole, and He’s standing there now, and He’s placing His hand in front of Him, like this. Oh, He’s making the sign of the Trinity: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Jesus - “There will be, My children, many graces dispensed among you, graces for conversion, graces for cure, all for the asking. Nothing is impossible in the Father. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”

Veronica - Now Jesus is moving over with Our Lady. Now He’s going back further up towards the sky, but ... no, Jesus is bowing His head. He said He’s going to remain there. And Our Lady now is standing over just a little in front of Jesus with Michael. And I see the little girl and boy with Her. Oh, it’s—Jacinta and Francisco are still with Her.

And all about Our Lady now the stars are just twinkling; they’re just glowing. They seem to be going off and on, just like lights behind Our Lady. The stars are going off and on. They’re so brilliant they look like diamonds. There’s a whole cluster of them around Our Lady’s head, but there seems to be a circle of rainbow stars all around Our Lady and Jacinta and Francisco. They form all around them. It’s just beautiful. They’re pure white, or they look like white fire. It’s so beautiful!

Now Our Lady is leaning forward.

Our Lady - “Continue, My children, with your prayers of atonement. Many are sorely needed at this time.”

Veronica - In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
