Directive from Heaven #680 - Indulgences given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#680 - Indulgences

"An indulgence is the extra-sacramental remission of the temporal punishment due, in God‘s justice, to sin that has been forgiven, which remission is granted by the Church in the exercise of the power of the keys, through the application of the superabundant merits of Christ and of the saints, and for some just and reasonable motive." - Catholic Encyclopedia (1913 edition)

INDULGENCES FOR READING THE BIBLE
"I say now, My children, that you must understand there are great graces given for reading the Bible, even a short time of fifteen minutes; you will be graced by indulgences. Have you forgotten, My children, in the modernization of My Son's Church, have you forgotten the meaning of indulgences? They are applicable to the time you may have to put in purgatory, My children." - Our Lady, July 25, 1985

REALITY OF INDULGENCES
"Do not cast aside the reality of indulgences, My children. The truths I gave you are being discarded. Even now We look upon abominations in My House. As it was in My crucifixion upon earth, so it is that I look upon a total re-crucifixion by My own!
    "My child, you tremble. You wonder. And why, My child? Because there is now a plan, My child, a plan of Heaven to separate the sheep from the goats, My child.
    "Many will not accept the knowledge given by My Mother, but do not concern yourself of the scoffers; do not take to heart, My child, the rebuffs. Go forward, give My Mother's message to the world. Others and many arms will be sent to aid you.
    "My children, retain your Faith; do not take the light from within your homes. There are many candles of light now burning throughout your world. These candles shall not be extinguished by the darkness. The gates of hell shall not prevail against My Church." - Jesus, February 10, 1977

DO NOT CAST ASIDE INDULGENCES
"You can expect, My children, in any mission from Heaven, many irritations, and much that will be set in your way to try to stop the good work from Heaven. Recognize the faces of evil about you, and learn from them. Pray that you, too, may not fall into the entrapments of satan. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer. Wear your sacramentals, and do not cast aside indulgences and other graces that are given to mankind for his protection. I assure you, My children, in the days ahead, you will need all of them.
"I ask, in admonition, Our pastors to awaken from their slumber and set My House straight.
"My Mother has come to you as a Mediatrix between God and man, bringing you this warning from Heaven. You, in your free will, shall have the choice to listen to Her message and act upon it, or cast it aside in your pride and arrogance. And when you cast it aside, you will be held fully responsible for the loss of your soul and those souls that have been given into your care." - Jesus, October 6, 1976

INDULGENCES NOT REMOVED
"Much of your Faith in graces and indulgences, My child, they have been removed. Gather the books given to you in the past. Though mankind has set himself above his God to remove these from among you, know that in the will of the Father, they have not been removed. You will receive all the numerous graces of indulgences as directed by your good leaders of old.
"Pray a constant vigilance of prayer. All who pray together will surely, My child, stay together, united against the common enemy of God. You must not, My children, compromise the Faith of My Son's House. You will not save souls by meeting them when they have fallen away and protested against the true teachings of My Son. You must bring them into His House, not tear down His House and enter upon those who have fallen and constructed another structure. No! Patch the cracks in My Son's House. Set a better example and the walls will echo to the praises of the Father and the return of many souls into the light." - Our Lady, September 13, 1974

"DO YOU CALL OUR GRACES NOW A MYTH?"
"I shall come soon to cleanse My temples, the churches. I shall cast out you who have given yourselves and set upon My Church a stigma of fallen hierarchy. Awaken from your slumber! Recognize the faces of evil about you, My pastors! Shall you please man, or shall you follow the rule of your God? No man shall save you from judgment. No man shall give you your reward. But satan has set on earth men who shall claim you for satan.
    "Any man, woman, or child of the age of reasoning who has fallen from grace shall become a consort of satan.
    "Gather you graces, My children; they are given to you in abundance. The enemies of your God shall take these from you if they can. They shall strip you of the manner of receiving these graces. Have you cast aside indulgences? Do you call Our graces now a myth and superstition? How dare you set yourselves to join satan! All manner of false ideology! All manner of false deception! Doers of good who are rulers of evil!
    "Do not be blinded, My children, by the angels of light. Watch and pray much, and they shall be revealed to you in time. Evil cannot persevere and exist long. The Eternal Father shall turn this evil to good, if asked. Ask and you shall receive. Believe and you will be given the way." - Jesus, November 20, 1975

SOULS IN PURGATORY
"However, there are many souls, My children, waiting to be taken from the place of purging, purgatory. They are helpless without your aid. Will you not give to them these graces that you can gain so freely upon earth in your lifetime? They will reward you threefold for your warmness of heart. Many shall be in purgatory to the end of your world unless you help them. Many discard and forget the memory of a loved one as time erases it from their minds.
"Remember, My children, one day each one of you will be in the same position. Shall you have someone to pray for you unless you give this example now and this teaching? Who will pray for you when you come over the veil? Who will offer indulgences and sacrifices for you? Would it not be better, My children, to start now to safeguard your entrance into the Eternal Kingdom?" - Our Lady, November 1, 1975

REJECT MODERNIST INTERPRETATION OF BIBLE
"My children, you must read your Bible. I have asked you to read. You have forgotten the graces you may receive from it, indulgences that have been cast aside. Read your Bible, My children, and you will understand what is happening in your present generation.?
"The Apocalypse, the writings of Saint John, must be read several times. Before you commence, you will pray to the Holy Spirit of life, the Holy Ghost, to enlighten you that your mind may absorb and understand the writings from Heaven.
"Inspiration was given to prophets of old through personal visitations and visions. Do not go along with your present generation of modernists, who ask that you read the Bible, the Book of life, with only a literal interpretation. It was not without reason that all of the heads of My Son's Church, the Vicars, the Holy Fathers in Rome, counseled you well to read and understand and to gather the truth before it is taken from you." - Our Lady, September 28, 1978

"WE CALL THIS 'GRACE'"
"Mankind uses the word 'indulgence,' My child. We call this 'grace.' Your prayers are powerful, My child, more so than you can ever understand. They will be gathered and used to release the suffering souls in purgatory. They will be gathered and used to bring many from this place of waiting into the eternal joys of the Kingdom of the Father." - Our Lady, May 17, 1975

GATHER THE GRACES
"Pray a constant vigilance, My children. My Son is with you, even unto the end of time as you know it. I am with you always. I am with you when you call Me. My Son is with you.
    "Gather the graces that you have in abundance now. You will find the search for them becoming more difficult in the future. Gather them and treasure them. These graces are given by your visits to My Son in the tabernacles of the world. These graces are given when you pray with purpose of indulgence.
    "Expiate the time you would spend in purgatory now--now, My children, while you are upon earth still. Many will die soon; many will go unprepared.
    "I beg you, as your Mother--I beg you in the light, to come out of the darkness now." - Our Lady, May 17, 1975

ACT OF CONTRITION AND THREE HAIL MARYS
Veronica - Oh, Our Lady is giving a direction now. Our Lady says that She would like you, when you hear of a death upon earth, whether you know a person or whether you don't, She requests that you say an Act of Contrition and three Hail Marys, for a great indulgence will be granted for the soul, the departed soul. That would be an Act of Contrition and three Hail Marys for a departed soul. Therefore, they would be getting a grace necessary for their repatriation into Heaven. Our Lady said great indulgence will be given for the recitation of the Act of Contrition and three Hail Marys. - May 30, 1973

MANY GRACES GIVEN FOR READING THE BIBLE
"You must all read your Bible. Many graces are given for reading but a short passage regularly in the Book of life. My children, the indulgence gained from reading the Book of life will strengthen you against the onslaughts of evil." - Our Lady, March 18, 1978

SOULS IN PURGATORY FORGOTTEN
Our Lady - "Many prayers are rising to Heaven, My child. Many souls await your prayers to be released from the place of purging. There are not enough prayers for those who are being purged. Many are forgotten once they have left their worldly lives. Families, once united in love, why have you forgotten your loved ones?"
    Veronica - I'm now looking beyond the gates. They're the gates I saw when Our Lady released all those wonderful, happy people. But now as I look beyond the gates I see many people. But they are in a condition I . . . it makes me very unhappy to see. They are very illuminous and glowing. They seem to glow an orange color, like they're burning. And their arms are all raised up, or outwards towards the gate. And now I hear cries. Many voices are crying, "Spare us, O Lord! Quench the fires of thirst within us." And now I hear a voice. It's a voice of a woman; she's an elderly woman. She's crying, "Virginia, Virginia, why have you forgotten me?"
    Oh, now it's growing dark. It's very, very hurting to see these people. I know they're human beings, but they're in a void. It's a painful void. It's like they're suspended in a void where there's nothingness, and they're reaching up. And they're crying because they are helpless.
    I see two now who have sort of floated up towards this gate. And they're looking out, and they're asking, "Please, two Masses for me. There is no one to release me. Please, two Masses for me." Oh! "Robert, Helen, two Masses for me." Oh!
    Now Our Lady . . . it's growing dark; I can't see these people any longer. And Our Lady now is coming over to the right side of the flagpole.
    Our Lady - "My child, it is sad that there are many who will spend eternity, unto the end of your time, awaiting their release, for they have no one to sacrifice or pray for them. Many who have entered into this purgatorial purging site have done so because of sins of the flesh." - Our Lady, February 10, 1974

GREAT SUFFERING
"There is a purgatory, a place of purging, My child--suffering great as in the abyss, but with the knowledge of a reprieve in time to come. It is a bleak longing of the spirit to look upon the Father. Know, My child, this longing of the heart in the fires is of great magnitude encompassing the being of the waiting soul." - Our Lady, March 29, 1975

IF MANKIND COULD LOOK INTO PURGATORY
"I assure you, My child, could man look into purgatory, he would beg to find--he would search out every moment of his life upon earth a manner to purge himself by penance and suffering. The years are few upon your earth; time beyond the veil is forever and endless." - Our Lady, May 22, 1974

THREEFOLD
"If one would understand the great value of suffering she would ask it regardless of a human inclination to avoid pain and suffering. The graces gained from physical suffering when offered for a just cause, a meritable cause, for those in purgatory, the graces are threefold." - Jesus, February 1, 1978

STAGES
"My child, I wish to reveal to you one mystery of life beyond the veil. There is not just one place of purging. No, My child, there are stages for the purging. Many will be here in the lowest stage unto the end of your world, only because there is no one who can make restitution to the Father for the offenses committed by these souls while they were upon earth." - Our Lady, May 22, 1974

LENT
"Remember, My children, to offer your trials, your penance for those who are in purgatory, for very few come directly to Heaven but must spend a time of purging just beyond the veil. They are helpless without your aid. You will pray for the souls in purgatory, and in the Lenten season ahead you will gain many graces for them." - Jesus, February 1, 1978

MANY PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE
"Many parents are responsible, My child, for long stays for their children in purgatory. They do not protect or prepare their children's souls. Do not rely on the false teachers, who are gaining in number about you. Each parent must assume full responsibility for the salvation of his children's souls." - Our Lady, February 10, 1974

SOME NOW 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

MUST BE PURE TO ENTER HEAVEN
"How much longer can My tears flow over you, My heart be torn again and again as I see My children progressing farther into spiritual darkness, giving themselves over to all manners of sin. Sins of the flesh are daily sending many souls into damnation--hell.
"Do not listen to the false prophets who go throughout your world now saying and printing and publicizing errors, stating there is no place of punishment. I assure you, My children, before a soul can enter Heaven, the Eternal Kingdom of light, that soul must be as pure as a snowflake before it enters into your world's atmosphere to become contaminated, as the human being living upon earth becomes contaminated of body and soul.” – Our Lady, July 25, 1979

WORTH FIGHTING FOR
"My children, are there so few who will suffer for the Faith? Are My children lost to the need for suffering and martyrdom for the Faith? Do you not understand, My children, that martyrdom means immediate entrance into Heaven. Is this not worth fighting for?" - Our Lady, November 20, 1978

PRAYER AND WORKS
"Prayer, My children--you must pray a constant vigilance of prayer, but you must also gather graces through works." - Our Lady, March 18, 1977

MERIT
"Do not fall into the errors of modern thinkers. Your scientists and your new theologians in My House who have cast aside the knowledge of sin and the penance for sin--yes, I died upon the cross to open Heaven to all mankind, but all shall not enter. My death upon the cross does not guarantee every man entrance into Heaven unless he merits it by grace.
"Graces are given in abundance for the asking, but you must seek it, or some charitable brother or sister upon earth must seek it for you. Graces are given in abundance through My Mother's intercession for you. You will listen to Her counsel. Her words are not given to you in idleness but in preparation for what lies ahead in your near future." - Jesus, May 30, 1978
