Directive from Heaven #665 - Many Baysiders Will Fall Away given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#230 - Counsel to Pastors

"Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by constraint but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre's sake but voluntarily: Neither as lording it over the clergy but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart. And when the prince of pastors shall appear, you shall receive a never fading crown of glory." - 1 Peter 5: 2-4

PRAYER LIFE ALMOST NIL
"There are so many errors now abounding that it seems almost hopeless to recover those who have lost their faith. Many have left My Church upon earth, and this disagrees with the heavenly plan to save all mankind.
"I become agitated, My child, when speaking of this, because the fault lies mainly with My clergy. The sheep are wandering now, and so few have taken to prayer to save them. The prayer life of the clergy has almost become nil. That means, My child, that they must return to meditation and constant prayer, or much more shall happen to the earth." - Jesus, June 17, 1989

STOP EXPERIMENTING
"My child and My children, I come once more with an urgent and pleading message to the hierarchy in the Church, My Church upon earth. I want you to know now that We look upon you and find many that do not fall into grace. They are falling out of grace and misleading many of Our sheep. Therefore, I warn you now as your God: You will stop your intricacies within My Church. You will stop experimenting. I gave you the rules to follow many years ago, two thousand years approximately. And why now, two thousand years later, do you deem it necessary to change My Church upon earth?" - Jesus, June 18, 1986

OMISSION
"The sin of omission shall condemn many to hell, be they layman or hierarchy. I repeat: not the sin of commission, but the sin of omission will commit many to hell. Among them there will also be mitres." - Our Lady, October 6, 1980

“WARN OUR CLERGY”
"You must warn Our clergy that many are being deceived. They must merit the respect of their flock by their example and holiness. The more they enter into the world, the less they will be of the spirit of light. Man must live in the world but not be of the world.
"So many are now catering to the basic carnal nature of mankind. They seek to bring a false maxim of goodness to mankind by feeding them all the pleasures of your lifetime, all the material things of your world, but their spirit, the eternal life within them, is being starved.” - Our Lady, August 5, 1975

FOUND WANTING
"Pastors in the House of God, We have been watching and finding you wanting. How many warnings shall you receive as you conduct yourselves and your sheep like pagans in the House of prayer? You are setting up money changers in My House, and I shall cleanse them again!
"No man shall defile the House of God. No man shall use this House for self gain. All that is rotten shall fall!” - Jesus, October 6, 1975

MISGUIDED, FOOLISH WAY
"In your misguided, foolish way of finding the light, My pastors, you have given yourselves to delusion. Abominations are being committed now in My Son's houses, churches throughout the world. This brings much sorrow to the people of Heaven. This brings much sorrow to the Eternal Father. And in turn this will bring much sorrow to the hearts of those who will struggle to retain the truth. Faith and Tradition shall not be separated. Novelty is the creation of satan.” - Our Lady, November 1, 1975

PLIABLE TO THE ENEMY
"Because of your sin, because of your arrogance and pride, you have brought into the Eternal City forces of evil. You have opened the doors, allowing men of weak faith and those heretics and men-separated brethren-to enter upon you. You shall not compromise My House, My Church, for you are separating My sheep.
"Awaken from your slumber, O pastors! You have become soft and pliable to the enemy, because you have fallen asleep on your job! Compromise! Change! If you have a solid foundation-and you were given a solid foundation-what need is there to change, for you seek then to change the foundation. You are chipping away at My Church; you are burrowing like rats into the foundation of My Church." - Jesus, June 12, 1976

THEY ARE CONFUSED
“Pray always for your priests, your pastors, who are now confused. It is a way of satan, this confusion, for men grow weak from confusion. Increase your numbers of Rosaries, for they will always hold back the darkness. The graces you will need will come from the Father because of His great love of this darkening world.” - Our Lady, December 26, 1970

BUCK-PASSER
“I see, My children, a great evil transpiring upon earth. Those who have the power to stop the evil have chosen to go downstream like ducks upon water, letting everything slide off their backs, neither caring nor visualizing the future. And why? Because they have given themselves to the world.
     “Just as My Son stood before Pilate and he washed his hands and said: ‘This man is innocent; I see no wrong in him,’ however, in his heart he knew of innocence but he feared reprisal from the crowd, My children; he valued his life, he loved his sin, and he was too much involved with the pleasures of this life and the world.
     “You see, My children, it is taking place all over again for those in command in rule. They go along ‘passing,’ as you say, ‘the buck,’ each one not willing to admit his error or his participation in evil, but only too willingly allowing others to take the blame or the responsibility. And I assure you, My children, if evil is being allowed, the ‘buck passer’ is just as guilty as the original one who had started the evil.
     “If you know in your hearts, O pastors, that souls are in danger of being corrupted, misled, and even destroyed, and you do nothing about it, because you do not wish to offend your superiors, because you value your life in this world too much and your good living; I assure you, O pastors, you shall stand before My Son and He shall not know you. You will be disowned, banished from eternal life in Heaven, and you shall join your father who is the father of all liars, satan, and the prince of darkness.” - Our Lady, March 18, 1977

DISCIPLINE
"Discipline, rigid discipline must be restored. The founding Fathers gave you the example and the knowledge, but you want change. The Father expects no change. Truth is truth. It is only satan who wishes to destroy the truth in change." - St. Pius X, March 18, 1974

OBEDIENCE TO GOD
"I give fair warning to all bishops and cardinals to adjust and mend the rents that they have allowed in My House, My Church upon earth. Experimentation in the name of humanism and modernism must stop now! Obedience must mean obedience to God the Father in Heaven. Man has a secondary role to his God, and no man shall be called 'god' upon earth." - Jesus, June 1, 1978

TRADITION
"Do not cast aside Tradition for modernism and humanism, for these are the creations of satan! You cannot separate Faith and Tradition, for one stands together with the other to unify My Church. It is the foundation of My House. I gave you the direction that has withstood the test of time, and you, in your arrogance and fallen nature of mankind, have now taken it upon yourselves to change My Church." - Jesus, October 2, 1976

SHINING EXAMPLE
"The plan for your salvation has been given in countless places through many seers throughout the world. Our words have fallen upon hardened hearts and deafened ears. The sheep have been misled and led astray by those who should have provided a shining example as representatives of the Father. A full measure of penance will be given to all those who hold the responsibility for the fall of young souls. None will escape this heavy punishment.” - Jesus, November 24, 1973

DISUNITY
"It is not without reason that all of the past descendants of Peter guided you well against the false precepts of modernism and humanism in My Son's Church and the world. And now, My children, it is of a fact: by their fruits will they be known. And what have been the fruits of this humanistic and modernistic approach but discord, disunity, and a loss of souls to Heaven." - Our Lady, September 13, 1978

RESTORE CHURCH TO ITS FORMER GLORY
"There is much work to be done to return My House, My Church, to its previous state of dedication, purity, and holiness. Much that has happened within My House, the direction was not given by your Vicar, Pope Paul. In arrogance, many Red Hats have set themselves to set up their own church, and it is fast becoming one of man and not of your God. There are no angels directing you in this building. The spirit you receive is not of light, but of darkness in your building. Restore My Church to its former glory, or I shall set My hand down fast upon you! The Eternal Father is long-suffering and merciful, but My hand is growing heavy!” - Jesus, October 6, 1976

SACRILEGE
"My Son is not pleased with the manner in which His Body and Blood is being given to all of the humans upon earth.
"Communion in the hand has not been, and will not be accepted by Heaven. This is a sacrilege in the eyes of the Eternal Father, and must not be continued, for you only add to your punishment when you continue on in the ways that have been found to be unpleasing to the Eternal Father." - Our Lady, June 30, 1984

NOT SOLID BEFORE THEIR BISHOPS
"Mothers must now take full precedence for their children. In other words, My child, they must be the teachers now; for those who were teachers have given themselves over now to all forms of modernism, and pacifying those that are evil in their teachings. They do not stand on their two feet solidly before their bishops, who are doing wrong in the teaching of their children. It will be up to the parents at this time to go forward and be a true parent in the eyes of God by teaching their children at home." - Jesus, October 6, 1988

PRIEST NOT A COMMON MAN
"We do not find that you are continuing in your lives of prayer and sacrifice. They are becoming a forgotten creed. I admonish you now that you are not to set yourselves in as a common man. When I chose you to represent Me as a priest in My House, you are not to make yourselves a common man, for you will not bring souls into the Kingdom by joining them in their sin. Yours must be a pure and shining example. You must follow your vows of chastity and poverty. Among you, We find little of this being practiced. You wallow in all the filth of mankind! You savor all the pleasures of the world, and you are breaking the rules of the Father! These include the Commandments given to mankind.
"Wake up now! There is not much time left for you to make atonement. The mercy of the Father is great. None will be lost if he will turn now from his present course. Return My House to its state of a firm foundation, and mend the cracks that you have wrought into its walls. Bring My sheep, gather them back into My houses. No longer disperse them with your example. You will not change My words! You will not change My direction. You will stay on the narrow path and you will bring My sheep onto this path, or you will answer to the Father and be condemned as such for having destroyed the sheep entrusted to you." - Jesus, August 14, 1974

SHALL BE DAMNED
"Pastors, shall you count the time left in months or years? No, I say to you! You will all keep a constant vigilance of prayer. You will cry out from your pulpits against immodesty and immorality. You will demand that man turn back to his God, for if he rejects Him, he is lost.
"A pastor who scatters his flock shall be damned. Many mitres shall fall into hell. Rank shall be no excuse for laxity and failure to give the Faith to the sheep.” - Jesus, May 15, 1976

SEPARATED BRETHREN
"I repeat, My child and My children: separated brethren must change. They have protested in the past; they have taken themselves away from the truth and the one true Church. They must reject the errors they have made in the past and come back and start again. They cannot bring their errors into My Son's House.
"You are opening the doors now for all manner of heretics, separated brethren. They do not come to unite in good spirit and heart; they come to take over. They seek to change you, O pastors, who are being deluded. And what do I see in My Son's House but separated brethren upon His pulpit! Even from the temples, the synagogues of satan, upon His pulpit! And for what?” - Our Lady, March 18, 1976

WORDS “HEAVEN, HELL AND PURGATORY” MUST BE RETAINED
"It has grieved Me much in the past, as it grieves Me now, that mankind is making changes to My words. I assure you, My children and pastors within My houses, My Church upon earth, there is no necessity to change My words. Heaven, hell, purgatory, and especially, My children, the word 'hell' must be retained in your prayers.” - Jesus, February 10, 1977

MOCK
"I want you to stress, My child, the existence of hell and purgatory. It has been forgotten by many. Even the priests in My Son's churches have overlooked this essential knowledge. In fact, some now mock it as being untrue." - Our Lady, June 18, 1990

GREATEST EVIL
"If you know in your hearts, O pastors, that souls are in danger of being corrupted, misled, and even destroyed, and you do nothing about it, because you do not wish to offend your superiors, because you value your life in this world too much and your good living; I assure you, O pastors, you shall stand before My Son and He shall not know you. You will be disowned, banished from eternal life in Heaven, and you shall join your father who is the father of all liars, satan, and the prince of darkness.
"The greatest evil being now committed in My Son's House is denying His divinity, defiling His sacred Body, casting mockery upon it, allowing immorality to enter into My Son's House." - Our Lady, March 18, 1977

ABOMINATIONS
"You cannot worship, you cannot follow two masters, for one you will love, and the other you will hate or learn to hate. And is there not much hate against My Son in the world now? Is there not much derision and laughter and abominations against His divinity? Do you not take His sacred, purified Body and cast it into the water font? Do you not, in your arrogance, do you not, O pastors, protect My Son's Body, His Body that is being carried to be mocked and abused in a form of worship from satan?
"O pastors, evil men of the cross, whatever shall become of you?" - Our Lady, February 1, 1977

“SCATTERING OUR FLOCK”
"O My children, leaders of Our flock, Our pastors, you must spend more time in voicing out, crying out against the evils that have invaded your society. You are, in your permissiveness, scattering Our flock. You are, in your permissiveness, floundering, and the bark is sinking. I have asked you to keep the bark of Peter afloat, to bail her out. And how? To return, turn away from your errors. In your arrogance and pride, can you not strip yourselves of your pride and turn back and restore My Son's Church?” - Our Lady, September 7, 1976

YOUR CARELESS ATTITUDES
"All will be judged according to what lies in his heart. No man is hidden from his God. Faith—what has happened to you? My representatives, you have given yourselves to the pleasures of the flesh and the world and the devil. Discipline! Starve your bodies of the demons which you have entered upon yourselves by your careless attitudes, by your permissiveness, and by your lack of discipline in My House, allowing My sheep to wander and be lost to Us!” - Jesus, December 6, 1974

NO COMPROMISE
"You shall not gather your flocks, My pastors, by compromising your Faith! You shall not gather the flocks for the Eternal Father in Heaven by giving yourselves to the world, by adopting humanism and modernism as your guide.
     "It is a simple lesson of faith that you must give to the children and to all in your care. As pastor you shall stand before Me and shall you say to Me that your teaching has been pure in My sight? Amen I say unto you, I shall cast you from Me and send you into the abyss. As you sow, so shall you reap.
     "You will remove woman from My Church, as leaders and rulers. Of what? What manner of foul action do you promote?
     "In the beginning I gave to you, through your prophets, the establishment of My Church upon earth. The rules were simple but now have become changed and defiled to please the carnal nature of mankind. You must restore the holiness to My House! You must bend your knees in humility and penance." - Jesus, December 31, 1975

RETURN STATUES
"Clergy in My Son's House, His Church upon earth, will you not return for the children the statues, the monuments of faith? The children must have a firm foundation. Their minds are not matured enough to know, in feeling within the heart, the existence of peoples in Heaven. These statues, monuments, must be returned to My Son's churches.” - Our Lady, July 14, 1979

WASH YOUR GARMENTS
"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!” - Our Lady, August 19, 1978

“IN YOUR NEGLIGENCE”
"Many do not know the existence now of My Son upon earth in the Eucharist, for you, O pastors, in your permissiveness, in your negligence, have allowed errors, falsehood, and defamation of My Son to take place within His very House! Whatever shall become of you?
"My Son's hand grows heavy. I cannot hold it back much longer. Your country shall receive the cross, My child!” - Our Lady, May 15, 1976

VOCATION
"What has happened to your vocation, pastors? What will it gain you if you set yourselves away from the Eternal Father by gathering all of the world's goods and wealth? You cannot come across the veil with one fraction of what you gather upon earth! The ways of man are not akin to the ways of your God. He will not accept your gold and your silver. He will not accept your worldly power and control of lives upon earth. And He will reject you, O pastors, if you are responsible even in the smallest measure for the destruction of souls!
"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

FIRM EXAMPLE OF HOLINESS
"The way has been given to you in the past, and the way does not change. It is a simple way. The rules have been given and you change them for what? Were they imperfect? Have you considered the Eternal Father to be in error? I say unto you, you blaspheme in your consecration. I say unto you, you will return My House to its former status of honor, glory, discipline. You must, as shepherds, give a firm example of holiness.” - Jesus, July 15, 1977

FAR SUPERIOR
"A true legally-ordained priest is far superior than any man, as he represents Me in the Godhead." - Jesus, May 23, 1979

GATHER
"Clergy, followers of My Son, you who have sought a vocation and were graced to be chosen from among mankind, will you not gather Our straying sheep? Will you not gather My lilies from the field and give them the waters of life for Us?" - Our Lady, July 24, 1976

DYING PREMATURELY OF BROKEN HEARTS
"Yes, My children, you must continue to pray for your priests, your pastors. Many are confused, filled with anxiety, not knowing which way to turn in their troublesome life. Many are dying prematurely of broken hearts. And what are you doing about it? Nothing! You wait, and what do you wait for? You expect another to come and save you from these evils. No! Each and every Christian in the Roman Catholic Church must come forward and fight this evil with prayer and example.
"Shout from the rooftops the Message from Heaven! For if you become lax and go uncaring about your way, I assure you, My children, there will be many tears shed, much gnashing of teeth, and greater woe set upon your world and your earth by the agents of 666, the Antichrist, that is now ravishing My Son's Church, the hearts of the dedicated, poisoning the minds of the dedicated, and destroying the souls of the young.
"Wake up now, America! Wake up, all nations of the world, and pray, for the closing time is upon you. What was to happen in the future shall be now. It is for you to help change this." - Our Lady, March 18, 1977

NO EQUAL
"My child, make it known to Our priests in My Son’s houses upon earth, churches, that We want Our priests to shine forth as pure examples of chastity and holiness....
"The example that must be shown and given to the children of earth by Our priests must set them apart as representatives of My Son. They do not have any equal upon earth, for their vocation is a special gift of God." - Our Lady, June 18, 1974
