Directive from Heaven #165 - Apathy and Indifference - given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#165 - Apathy and Indifference

"I know thy works, that thou art neither cold, nor hot. I would thou wert cold, or hot. But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, nor hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth." - Apocalypse 3:16

CANNOT PLAY MIDDLE ROAD
"When you come before Me, the Eternal Father, and the Spirit, you will be judged. If you are found lukewarm, neither being hot nor cold, I will vomit you from My mouth and cast you into the fires of eternal damnation! You cannot play the middle road, My pastors! You cannot mislead My sheep by giving in to the values of man! You must not change—you must not trade your soul and bargain for your world. No man can have both, the world and the spirit." Jesus, May 17, 1975

LETHARGY
"I will say, with a Mother's torn heart, through countless years of going to and fro across your nations, I will say again that the good have become complacent. Lethargy has set in among them. I would say, My children, in all earnestness that the bad have become worse and the good have gained no further graces in their complacency." Our Lady, June 18, 1978

MUCH IS EXPECTED
"The world has continued upon its disastrous course. The evil is accelerating. The good people, many of them are becoming complacent, and a lethargy has set in among some. My children of light, do not become self-satisfied in your gifts, for those who have received graces in abundance, much is expected of them. You must go forward now without slackening the pace of the work." Jesus, June 10, 1978

MESSAGE OF REALITY
"Do not become complacent or lethargic, My children. There is no time to cast aside the truth, covering it with all optimism. My Mother did not come to you as a prophet of doom, but She came to you from Heaven with a message of reality and what is to take place upon the earth. You will listen to Her, for I assure you, My children, very soon there will be much gnashing of teeth and woe set upon the earth." Jesus, September 7, 1978

APATHY SET IN
"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." Jesus, August 19, 1978

WHY NO ACTION?
"Parents, have you examined what your children have been reading? Their eyes, which are the mirror of the soul, are being polluted, their souls being destroyed by the pornography being sold for profit and gain. Why is there no action, My children, to safeguard your children? Many parents will cry bitter tears of anguish, but too late, too late!
"I have wandered throughout your world exposing these evils, bringing them before you for your action. So many have passed by, feeling an apathy to My words." Our Lady, August 14, 1975

DOUBT, LAXITY, APATHY
"How much more punishment shall the severity increase to awaken you from your slumber? We have asked Our pastors to put into action the direction given by My Mother to recover My sheep. Instead, My Mother has been received with doubt, laxity, apathy, and an absolute rejection by many. How many voice-boxes must We send among you to awaken you before it is too late?" Jesus, May 26, 1976

WOE TO THE PARENT
"Homes must now become a stronghold of godliness! Homes must be a refuge for the children against the onslaughts of satan now loosed in your world. Parents must give a good example of godliness and piety. Woe to the parent who discards or goes along with apathy in his role as a parent." Our Lady, July 15, 1977

UNLESS YOU ACT...
"My children, you must protest the offenses being committed against the divinity of My Son. Prayer is a great weapon, but unless you act and pray too, My children, you proceed nowhere. You become lax, indifferent; apathy sets in. Each and every individual of conscionable age shall be tested." Our Lady, November 1, 1977

APATHETIC TO MY WARNINGS
"Weep not for Me, My child, but cry for your children. But mothers, cry for your children, for they are the true victims.
"I have begged you to remove the corruption in your country that now covers, like the darkness of the abyss, your government, your schools, and now My Son's House. But you were apathetic to My warnings. What will you do now? The hour grows late.
"Atonement, prayer, sacrifice—We beg your prayers! Those of well spirit will bear this with greater heart and courage, My child, but pity those who have descended into darkness." Our Lady, September 28, 1971

YOUR COUNTRY
"You must not be apathetic to the situation in your country, My children, for if you sit back you will be removed from your homes in your land. You must organize a solid front—yes, link to link, soul to soul, across your land—a solid Rosary, My children. Prayer and sacrifice: this is not too much to ask of you in face of the reality of what is coming upon you." Our Lady, November 20, 1971

NOT CARING
"O My children, what more can I say to you? What more can the Eternal Father do to awaken you—you who are apathetic, not caring until you are struck by destruction; you who watch as the warnings go by, not caring until it enters your home; and you who go by like ducks in the waters, not caring or wondering or questioning why you proceed in that path; and you who, in your blindness; and you who, in your blindness of blind obedience, have given yourselves to destruction and destroying My Son's House in your obedience to man! No man shall be obedient to satan.
"My children, long ago I warned you from Fatima, I warned you through many voice-boxes throughout your world that the time will come when you will embark upon a stormy sea, and it shall be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, and satan shall set himself in your midst." Our Lady, November 20, 1976

COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED
"Why have you hardened your hearts and closed your ears to My counsel? You are heading for your own destruction. Within your city now there are the agents of hell.
"There is a plan now being formulated that will enslave the people of your country. Open your eyes, My children, and see your world as it truly is. A country that turns from the Father will descend to the father of hell and the liar of all liars.
"He is now gathering souls as fast as the snowflakes are falling from your heavens. You will remain indifferent to the truth until you suffer the greatest of trials, trials that could have been avoided if you had but listened to Us!" Jesus, April 10, 1972

YOU WILL FALL
"There are only two forces upon earth, My children: good and evil. You cannot at this time walk a middle course, for if you become lukewarm you shall fall." Our Lady, October 6, 1977

GOOD HAVE BECOME COMPLACENT
"My children, My Mother has taken it upon Herself to act as a Mediatrix between God the Father and man. Her heart is torn constantly by the rejection She receives from mankind, for the good have become complacent, and the bad have become worse. And in between We find those who 'care less,' for they are neither hot nor warm, but lukewarm. And even the lukewarm shall be cast aside in the final count." Jesus, December 7, 1978

DECIDE YOUR PATH
"There is a great war ahead. Many arms will be needed in this battle. You will be divided on sides. The road in between holds nothing. You will not be lukewarm, but fired with the love for My Son and defend Him as such. You must now decide your path: the world or Heaven. You will not have both.
"There is no other recourse, My children. You have all been given an inborn conscience. You must reject the plan of satan and not succumb to his lures. The world about you has become the playground of satan and his agents. Your world is in darkness; Our Church is in darkness. But We still carry the light. And all who follow Me, My children, will be led out of this darkness." Our Lady, April 1, 1972

RESTORE DISCIPLINE
"Restore the discipline in your personal lives. Restore the discipline in My Son's Church while there is time! O My children, I stand before you pleading for your cause to the Eternal Father. A heavy hand of chastisement shall be set upon mankind! Many of Our children of the light shall be asked to do much penance and sacrifice to save those who are lukewarm." Our Lady, December 24, 1976

FREE WILL
"No man shall be condemned to eternal damnation, no man shall fall unless he falls of his own free will. Man has fallen and become lukewarm because he has sought the material things of life to feed his body, his carnal nature, while he starves his soul. What good will it be if you gather all of the riches of the world and you do not store your treasures in Heaven? You will come across the veil with nothing but the merits of love and prayer." Jesus, March 18, 1978

MUCH WORK
"My children, there is much work to be done to save souls. You must now go on foot throughout your country. There are others, many false prophets, on foot, My children. You must now follow them and restore the souls of those whom they have contaminated. I say this, My children, now because they have taken what you may call your lukewarm Catholic brothers and sisters and carried them off to the portals of purgatory and hell." Our Lady, September 28, 1978

STAY AND FIGHT
"O My children, it truly rains teardrops from Heaven! The Judases within My Son's House are multiplying, and those of weak faith have become lukewarm and going like ducks downstream, following the leader to their own destruction.
"Pray, My children, a constant vigilance of prayer for your pastors. Do not abandon My Son's Church, but stay and fight by example and prayers." Our Lady, October 6, 1976

LUKEWARM SOULS AND APOSTATES
"As My Son was forced to cast out of the temple thieves, so shall He come among you and cast you, O pastors, fling you from without His House! O ye of little faith, you are burrowing like rodents into the foundations of My Son's Church! You run to and fro, crying peace, love, and brotherhood! There shall be no peace, or love, or brotherhood without Faith and Tradition and Truth! And you seek to separate Faith from Tradition. And what have you but lukewarm souls and apostates!" Our Lady, October 2, 1976

WHAT DO YOU DO?
"Do not, My children, be deceived by the father of liars, and his deception in raising up armies that gather under the banner of communism, atheism, satanism, agnosticism. And while they work both day and night to gather the powers and the arsenals to enslave your country and the world, what do you do? You are like children going through the fields picking daisies, tripping along merrily, high on your way of life; your drugs and your alcohol and your dreams created by false mediums." Jesus, April 2, 1977

DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
"Already Our hearts are torn because of the grief of many parents who have lost their young to this monstrous machine now that is gaining momentum throughout your country and the world. My children, recognize now the evil. Do something about it! Don't sit back and say, 'My neighbor will act,' or, 'This does not concern me.' I assure you, My children, if you do not act, you will be forced to act when it enters upon your home." Our Lady, November 21, 1977

GROUPS
"You will line up in groups. One will be the scoffers, those who neither care to nor wish to nor desire to know the truth or seek the truth. The other group, you will have the lukewarm, who neither care nor believe nor wish to act upon any counsel. And My children, then you will have the legions of good souls, those in the light, who will go forward and with every ounce of their energy of their human bodies, with every prayer that they can wrest from tired lips and bodies, they will go forward and fight this evil." Our Lady, November 21, 1977

BE ON YOUR GUARD
"The peoples, many are lukewarm. They come with great heart. They've heard the messages from Heaven, but what do they do? They get carried away with earth's pleasures and the pleasures of the flesh. I want you to know now that that is what satan relies on. They watch and they wait while you fall to sin, and sin is the pleasure of the flesh. And man has this battle to win. It is a stomping ground now for satan, My children.
"You must always be on your guard. Let them call you fanatics. Let them try to break you down. There's only one thing to say to them: I have my eyes on Heaven. Where do you cast yours?" Jesus, April 14, 1984

BACKGROUND STORY – “The Lourdes of America”

Veronica Lueken, the seer of Bayside, was a wife and mother of five children. She went to her eternal reward on August 3rd, 1995. St. Theresa the Little Flower promised to greet her with a bouquet of red roses when she arrived in heaven.

Our Lady appeared to Veronica in her home on April 7, 1970, informing her that She would appear on the grounds of the old St. Robert Bellarmine Church in Bayside on June 18, 1970; that vigils of prayer be held there (now temporarily held at the Vatican Pavilion Site in Flushing Meadows Park), and that full directions be given to the clergy of the parish to prepare for Our Lady's first visit there.

Our Lady also requested that a Shrine and Basilica be erected on this Her chosen Sacred Site, which is to be named “Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers.” She promised to come on the eve of the great feast days of the Church. The Blessed Mother also instructed Veronica to disseminate the message given to her throughout the whole world.

Our Lady has requested that the Rosary be recited aloud by the crowd during the whole of the Vigil. All are requested to kneel in the presence of Jesus. The Message was repeated word for word by Veronica. Veronica also described what she saw. All has been recorded on audio tape.
