Directive from Heaven #38 - Priests, Part 1 given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#38 - Priests, Part 1

"Have we kept our taste for personal prayer and meditation, for the breviary? And how can we hope to give our activity full efficacy if we do not draw from the interior fount of conversation with God those choicest energies which He alone can give?" - Pope Paul VI, Message to Priests, June 30, 1968

HOLY HOUR
"The prayers that you have conducted for the priesthood on the Sundays of your years upon earth shall be counted at the time when all of you shall go over the veil. Then you will rejoice with all Heaven for the number of priestly souls that you have brought back to the fold." - Our Lady, September 27, 1986

KNEEL
"All honor must be given to My Son in the Eucharist. Man must kneel. My Son's House is the House of God and a house of prayer, and it must not be turned into a meeting hall." - Our Lady, July 25, 1979

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." - Our Lady, March 18, 1977

LILIES
"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

DISHONOR
"Do not be fooled, My child, by those who have fouled their garments. We in the Kingdom have had Our hearts wrenched by the knowledge that many of Our clergy have destroyed their vocation. They have brought dishonor and disrespect to their vocation. Pray for them, for satan has set himself to claim them. I am, My child, truly a Mother of great sorrow!" - Our Lady, February 10, 1975

BASIC TRUTH
"Turn back now, for your judgment will be far greater than those given to an ordinary man, for you as a priest of God have been chosen by the Father to represent My Son. And as such, your judgment for misleading and denying the basic truth of your Faith will be far greater!" - Our Lady, October 6, 1974

RATIONALIZING SIN
"In your country, My children, in your seminaries in the United States and Canada, My children, and the world, you have professors now so steeped in sin ... they who call themselves My Son's chosen priests, they are vile sons of satan who are now rationalizing sin! There shall be no rationalization placed upon sin. The commandments shall not be looked at objectively and given to excuses, to reasoning to condone sin!" - Our Lady, October 2, 1976

BADGE OF HONOR
"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." - Our Lady, March 25, 1973

COMMUNION IN THE HAND
"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

PARISH CHURCH
"I have asked you once, I have asked you again, My children, not to abandon your parish churches. It is the plan of satan to shut the doors. Remember, My children, and I repeat again, that My Son is with you in the Eucharist. He is present with you in Body and Spirit. He will be brought to you by a legally-ordained priest, a man of God." - Our Lady, March 25, 1978

HELL
"My child, I have to tell you in all truth, that there are many priests who have gone to hell because too few prayed for them; and they did not accept the road to penance, dedication, and truth." - Our Lady, June 6, 1987

NO PASSPORT
"Understand, My children, you do not pray enough for your priests! They too are human, and are subject to error and the deceits of satan. They too can lose their souls to satan unless you pray for them and do penance for them and make sacrifices for them. They do not have a special passport to Heaven, My children. They have to fight along the road filled with many thorns as you do." - Our Lady, September 7, 1977

INSTRUMENT
"You ask, My child, about the state of soul of the priesthood. This, My child, is not for you to question or judge. A human being he is, yes. Subject to error, yes. Subject to fall, yes. But still during the Consecration, and when he hears you in the confessional, the Holy Spirit comes down upon him, using him as an instrument to bring absolution to you." - Our Lady, October 6, 1973

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

COMMON MAN?
"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 the 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." - Jesus, August 14, 1974

CORPORAL ACTS
"Selfishness abounding in the hearts of many, and even in the hearts of the clergy. The corporal acts of mercy* must be practiced by the clergy in My Son's House." - Our Lady, September 7, 1979

*See Directive #32 - Love of Neighbor

OBEDIENCE DISTORTED
"Pray for your clergy. Obedience has been distorted now to make them servants of those who are not true rulers." - Our Lady, June 18, 1979

INVENTORY
"All clergy must now do an about-face, and take inventory on their own souls before they can go forward in the light and gather the sheep that up to now, My children, have been scattered." - Jesus, August 21, 1976

PRIDE
"Pride, intellectual pride in the House of God, is more a formidable barrier than outright licentiousness! This barrier destroys! Strip yourselves of this pride and arrogance. Return to your state of poverty of the body and meekness of the soul! Unless you make yourselves like unto the little children, you will not enter into the Kingdom." - Our Lady, July 1, 1974

NOVELTY
"Woe unto those pastors! Woe unto the clergy who now set themselves up as leaders to confuse, confound, and mislead! Novelty, My child, has been the ruination of many souls. Change - why does mankind call always for change, My child? Is not the test of time a certain guide for mankind? We do not change to please mankind, but We set ourselves as examples to bring mankind to his God." - Our Lady, June 15, 1974

"As disciples of the latter days, My children, much shall be asked of you, but I assure you: all that you give in faith and charity shall be returned to you threefold." - Jesus, June 1, 1978
