Directive from Heaven #160 - Religious Orders and the Dedicated: Part 2 - given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#160 - Religious Orders and the Dedicated: Part 2

"And is it a great thing that I should serve You, whom all creation is bound to serve? It should not seem much to me that I should serve You; rather is it great and wonderful to me that You should see fit to receive into Your service one so poor and unworthy, and count him among Your beloved servants." - The Imitation of Christ, Thomas à Kempis, Chapter 10.

MAJOR SOURCE OF ATTACK
"You will pray much, My children, for the religious. They are now the major source of attack by satan." - Our Lady, December 31, 1974

WHAT DOES IT GAIN?
"Many will sell their souls to get to the head. A religious who keeps a penny, My child, shall not be even worth this penny! What does it gain a man if he wins the whole world and suffers the loss of his soul?" - Our Lady, December 28, 1974

SHORTAGE OF TEACHING NUNS
"My child, I have tied the knot, the belt, to represent the carrying of My beads of prayer on the dress of the dedicated. The vocations have fallen, My child. Our young children, their souls are darkening daily because there is a shortage, a severe shortage, My child, of teaching nuns. Whatever shall become of the young souls for Heaven?" - Our Lady, April 10, 1976

VOWS DISCARDED
"Please, my sisters, return your garments to the floor! Your example is not one of piety and chastity. Your vows have been discarded. You enter into a world that has been given to satan. Retreat from this world. Go back to your life of prayer. Better a life of solitude than a life of eternal damnation.
"Prayer has given way to worldly pleasure. My sisters, you are truly foolish maidens. You have given yourselves as brides of Christ. A bride does not commit adultery in her heart. When you reject the Son of God, you truly commit this in your heart. The spirit has no part of the flesh. You must live in the spirit and fight the pleasures of the flesh. For these pleasures are not being used in the manner given by the Father.
"Chastity and poverty, these are given for reason. Do not discard this little way to sanctity." - St. Theresa, September 28, 1974

TO CORRUPT AND DEFILE
"You will keep your sacramentals and pray now a constant vigil of prayer. Satan works now to corrupt and defile the dedicated. Watch, pray, and beware. He roams in the holy House of God. Many mitres will fall into hell. The love of God dims in your world. The dedicated are casting their badges off like they cannot run fast enough into the flames! Are you ashamed to stand as symbols of your Father in Heaven?" - Our Lady, October 2, 1972

INTELLECTUAL PRIDE
"Rigid discipline is necessary in the rule of all dedicated. Discipline and obedience to the will of God and not the will of man must be restored upon earth. Your offenses against your God and your destruction of souls, leading more onto the path into darkness, have not passed unnoticed by the Father. You have received your warning.
"Men of God in the House of God, turn back from your ways of satan! Recognize the hand of satan upon you. Starve your souls of the demons that you have allowed to enter upon you! Return to discipline and the rule! You will not take our words and rewrite them to satisfy the desires of mere man! Have you placed yourself beyond the angels? They, too, were cast from the Kingdom for their arrogance. Intellectual pride has led you down the wrong road. Many mitres will fall into hell." - St. Thomas Aquinas, February 1, 1973

SEEKING TO CAPTURE
Our Lady said satan is seeking to capture the souls of all the dedicated. It will be with those of true faith and compassion to offer their sacrifices for the recovery of the souls being captured within Her Son's House." - Veronica, August 5, 1972

UPHOLDERS OF THE FAITH
"The dedicated, those who have taken a vow of poverty, chastity, and upholders of the Faith-whatever have you done to your Faith, My children? You have made it, in your struggles, unrecognized to many. You have sown confusion throughout your world with a change. And what change, but from satan, guided to destroy. The foundation of your Faith is My Son, was My Son, and will always be My Son." - Our Lady, May 15, 1976

DIMNESS OF FAITH
"When you speak of Faith, My child, make it known to the world that Faith is also Tradition. The deposit of Faith lies with holy Church. However, We see many who are using their rank to destroy the Faith. Know that the Father is watching them, permitting them to go their way as they sow the seeds for their own destruction. It is sad, My child, that I should wander and see such a dimness of faith in the hearts of Our dedicated." - Our Lady, October 6, 1974

RELIGIOUS GARB
Veronica - Now Theresa and Our Lady are moving over, and they're pointing up into the sky. It's like watching a movie up there, because I can see now, there are buildings.... Oh, I can see young men walking out of the buildings, so they must be like monasteries or seminaries.
Now Our Lady is standing over by the door of one and watching as these young men are walking out. And Theresa is now walking over by Our Lady by the door, and she's turning around. I... oh, I'm going with them. Oh, I'm right by the door.
St. Theresa - "Veronica, my sister, look! Look how they are dressing! Would you recognize them as dedicated brothers of the Father Eternal?" - May 17, 1975

HALF-HEARTED VOCATIONS
"My sisters, you have paid no heed to my words. You are dressing yourselves like pagans. The convents will be empty. Whatever shall we do for example? You must not follow the modes of the world. My sisters, you have been misled. Return to your habits. None will enter your convents with true vocation with the example you set now upon yourselves and the world.
"Is it because you have lost the love of your God? Do you not feel great honor for the symbol of your being a true spouse of your God? Half-hearted vocations, sinfulness within the convents! O woe, my sisters, whatever will become of you now? Better that you wear the true habit and sign of dedication than to burn in the fires of hell.
"You will not bring true postulants into the convents by your example now. You walk in darkness, my sisters. Pray for the light, or your convents will be closed. This is the plan of the enemy of God. You must take yourselves from the world and worldly pursuits." - St. Theresa, September 13, 1973

ABUSE OF RANK
"No man who has been chosen from among the multitudes to be a representative from Heaven shall use his rank, his vocation to gain worldly treasures and fall into the pattern of worldly living to the sorrow of those souls entrusted to him." - Jesus, March 18, 1976

HOW SAD
"The Father will not tolerate the abominations being committed in the houses of God. Many of His dedicated are being permissive in their approach to the salvation of souls. You will not gain nor redeem souls by lowering the standards. Many of Our dedicated, clergy and foolish maidens in the nunneries, have given themselves to the world, the flesh, and the devil. How sad that such great graces could go by and be cast aside for the temporary pleasures of the world." - Our Lady, July 25, 1974

HASTEN, HARKEN, AND LISTEN
"Hasten, harken, and listen, My dedicated. I speak to you with great urgency. There is great darkness that has entered upon the hearts of many of Our dedicated. Remove this blindness from your hearts. You have only one course to follow, that is the truth in the light. This has been given to you with your ordination. Do not cast it aside. A great measure, a great share of responsibility will be allotted to Our dedicated for the fall of all souls under their care." - Jesus, November 1, 1974

KEY TO THE KINGDOM
"Sisters, do you not understand why you were given a long habit to wear? It was a sign to the world of your dedication. You were to become brides of Christ, My children. And what have you given to the world, but a poor example of worldliness without dedication. You have become of the world; you have proceeded onto the wide road.
"Sisters in vocations, turn back! Do not become maidens of the world, foolish maidens, but return and be brides of Christ, brides who have been given the key to the Eternal Kingdom of your God.
"My sisters, without this firm dedication and example of piety and holiness, you cannot induce or lead others into your vocation. The convents are slowly closing. And why, My children? Because there are too few who try to find the real reason. They have succumbed to the lures of the world." - Our Lady, July 15, 1977

HEAVY PENANCE
"Many in the House of God have accepted their blindness. When a man of God falls from grace, he can be blinded to the truth. His way back will be one of heavy penance. Seek and ye shall find the road back. Travel on your wide road, and you enter into the abyss." - Our Lady, November 1, 1972

MANY HAVE FALLEN
"Many of Our dedicated have fallen in line with the false maxims of modernism. Our hearts are truly saddened at the blindness that has entered into the hearts of many in the House of God.
"The symptoms of the weakness of the human soul are in abundance about you. The graces dispensed from Heaven have been accepted only by the few. Many have preferred to accept sin as a way of life." - Our Lady, March 25, 1973

LOVE AND BROTHERHOOD
"Love and brotherhood-are they akin to greed and power? No!" - St. Michael, August 21, 1974

FOLLOWING THE EVIL CIRCLE
"Foolish virgins! Why do you choose to live in this world of earth? Have you become blind to modesty? Has vanity invaded your hearts? Woe to those who cause the downfall of Our dedicated by their examples. You are all following the evil circle, My dedicated; for it is like a chain of evil, link by link. By your example you build a solid chain to hell. For woe to those entrusted with the souls of the little ones, and who lead the little ones to hell!" - Our Lady, November 21, 1970

DO NOT LEAVE
"Do not leave when you are discouraged by those who satan has sent into your convents. Stand forth as an example of purity and godliness. You will not be cast aside by your God, as you will by man, as you stand to defend your God. Pick up your cross and carry it." - St. Theresa, November 20, 1972

CHOSEN FROM THE MULTITUDES
"A duly ordained priest in the House of God shall not remove his habit. He shall not take the badge of honor of his vocation from him. In doing thus, he subjects his soul to contamination from worldly influence.
"Do you not feel honor for having been chosen from a multitude of souls to be representative of your God upon your world? Have you shame for your vocation? Woe to the man who turns his eyes and heart upon the world and adopts the maxims of the world, all creations of satan!" - Our Lady, March 25, 1973

ADDITIONAL GRACES
"Additional graces I give unto you, My dedicated. Those who remain true to your teachings know that there is none whom you will answer to but the Father. Eternity is forever. Do not bargain your souls for the few years you have on your planet earth." - Jesus, September 13, 1974
