Directive from Heaven #735 - Spiritual Darkness - given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#735 - Spiritual Darkness

"If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth." - 1 John 1: 6

LIVING IN THE DAYS OF THE GREAT SORROWS
"As it was told through countless earth-years by many prophets and voice-boxes from Heaven, you are now living in the days of the great sorrows. Evil abounds upon earth, and has entered into My Son's Church. Evil abounds upon earth, and has taken hold within the homes and livelihoods of Our children upon earth. What salvation is there for you but to follow the way of the cross.
"My children, you must pray now and do much penance. A great War is approaching mankind, a war in which nations shall vanish from the earth. There will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth who have neither counseled the young nor sought to change the course of destruction that they have allowed to progress on. Because of their love of materialism and their love of what they call humanism, and their love of worldly gain in power, man has now been abandoned by the forces of light to seek his own way now, a way that he has chosen to be covered with errors and spiritual darkness." - Our Lady, November 24, 1979

CHILDREN ON ROAD OF SPIRITUAL DARKNESS
"The children of the world are truly the victims of their elders. Parents shall shed tears of bitter misery, for they will be rejected by their children.
"There shall be discord in homes, and the parents who have set their children onto the road of spiritual darkness, My child, shall reap the reward of their evil--lacking discipline, and setting their children's hearts without mercy, without love, and without knowledge of their God." - Jesus, May 28, 1975

WHOLE WORLD IN DEEP SPIRITUAL DARKNESS
"My child and My children, I don't think it necessary for Me to go into a long discourse on the state of your world, the spiritual state. Needless to say, man now through his own volition has covered the whole world in deep spiritual darkness. In the plan of the Eternal Father there are candles of light, pockets of knowledge in the hearts of those chosen by the Eternal Father to maintain the truth of the Faith. This knowledge must include Tradition.
"I say unto you as your Mother that the Eternal Father is most displeased by the manner in which you conduct yourselves, O clergy, and also all laymen--the manner in which you conduct yourselves during the Holy Sacrifice of My Son. Less and less respect and honor is being given to the Eucharist.
"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." - Our Lady, July 25, 1979

THE SHEPHERDS HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP
"My children, remove the blindness from your heart and understand the counsel from Heaven. It is through grace that you hear this counsel, and it is through grace that We ask you to carry this counsel forward to your brothers and sisters. You are not your brother's keeper, but you must fight for their lives, their spiritual lives, because the shepherds have fallen asleep, or fallen into spiritual darkness. You who have the light, you who have been chosen from among the multitudes to be light bearers must now go forward and search through the darkness and recover your brothers and sisters who otherwise will be lost.
"There are many good shepherds still among you, My children. Do not despair. I will always be with you in the tabernacles of the world, and I will always be with you in spirit. And one day, My children, I will return to you in body and spirit." - Jesus, June 4, 1977

"IMMORALITY HAS STRICKEN THE CHILDREN"
"I give fair warning to all that your pursuit of humanism and modernism shall send many from My Church upon your earth. My Son has had His heart torn anew by the many who have cast aside His teachings, who seek to destroy the foundation of His Church, My Son. There are many Judases in His House. It truly rains teardrops from Heaven.
"My children, there are many candles in your world, a world that has fast gone into spiritual darkness and corruption. Immorality has stricken the children. Immorality is bringing your country, your nation, America the beautiful, the great, onto a road to its own destruction. You will celebrate, My children, your past, your present, but what have you given for your future? A nation that has gathered the material and lost the spiritual!
"O My children, I have come to you as a Mediatrix from your God. I bring to you a warning from Heaven. There shall be sent upon you a great Warning, and if this Warning is not heeded, you shall receive the Ball of Redemption." - Our Lady, June 24, 1976

"SPIRITUAL DARKNESS COVERS YOUR WORLD NOW"
"Spiritual darkness covers your world now. The test is here, My children. It is the time of trial for mankind, the separation of the sheep from the goats.
"Do not be affrighted, My child and My children, at this knowledge. No man or woman or child has ever fallen into hell unless of his own free will. The way to Heaven is a straight and narrow road, My children. Once you leave, it is most difficult to return. Remember, My children, many of you who leave the road will expect to come back in time, but I know that many shall not be given the second chance." - Our Lady, December 7, 1977

CONFORM AND YOU WILL DIE ON THE VINE
"The sin of mankind has not stopped at the doors of My Son's Church, but has entered. Many of the high clergy, the hierarchy, have succumbed for the riches of the world, for many are selling their souls to get to the head. Unless they repent of their actions and seek to restore My Son's Church to its former glory, many mitres shall fall into hell! All who cry 'Lord, Lord!' shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
    "The Eternal Father looks into the hearts of everyone, My children. No man can keep a secret from Him.
    "There are many now false christs upon earth. There are many lying teachers, false teachers. All this is but the surface indications for all to see of the state of the world in spiritual darkness.
    "My children, I beg you as your Mother to listen to Me. I come to you with a warning, a warning for all mankind, to turn back now from your sin. You must read your Bible, the Book of life. Do not conform to the world or its lying teachers. For the word from the Eternal Father is this: Conform, O clergy, and you will die on the vine! Conform, man of the world, and you will die on the vine!" - Our Lady, July 25, 1978

ANGELS OF LIGHT
"Do not be misled by those parading as angels of light, those with black hearts who are agents of hell! Do not be misled by those who defame their habits. Do not be led like sheep to the slaughter. My Mother carries the light in the darkness, the spiritual darkness that now engulfs you all." - Jesus, August 15, 1971

TO SEPARATE THE SHEEP FROM THE GOATS
"No man can fully understand, My child, why the Father allows the world to go forward in great spiritual darkness. It is to separate the sheep from the goats. For those who have given themselves to satan and the world shall fling themselves headlong into the abyss and hell! And those who have set themselves on the narrow road that leads straight to the eternal Kingdom of the Father in Heaven shall find their road filled with crosses--thorns. They shall be cast aside and called different. They shall be abused in all manner of worldly punishments. However, know that this is the road to the Kingdom of Heaven. It is not an easy road, but one that is strengthened by suffering.
"Many martyrs, My child, shall come in the days ahead--defenders of the Faith. Carry your crosses, My children, for those who will be saved shall be counted in the few." - Our Lady, November 20, 1975

THE MASS IS VALID
"I ask you again not to abandon your parish churches. You will maintain the papacy in Rome. I tell you anew that 666 now is in Rome. Do not judge My Son's Church by His pastors. In their human nature they can err; however, as legitimate legally-ordained Roman Catholic priests they will bring My Son to you if you come seeking Him at the tabernacles of the world. The Mass is valid, I say unto you!
"My Son is waiting for you at the tabernacles of His Church. My children, do not abandon Him in these days of deep spiritual darkness. You must all keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your country, the United States, and Canada, and all of the countries throughout your world." - Our Lady, June 10, 1978

"THIS DAY HAS ARRIVED"
"The greatest measure of responsibility for the loss of souls shall fall upon the clergy. My Son's House, His Church, is passing through a great trial; however, it is a time for testing for mankind. The eventual victory against satan shall be with My Son, for the gates of hell shall never prevail against His Church upon earth.
"My children, you must understand that man in his human frailties often succumbed to the mores of modernism. Countless times in the past the Spirit of truth came with the knowledge to man that the day would come when a great delusion shall descend upon mankind and cover the earth in a blanket of spiritual darkness. This day has arrived, My children. Recognize the forces of evil about you now. The man of sin, 666, satan, Lucifer, with all the demons loosed from hell, now are upon earth and do great battle with the children of God.
"The Holy City of Rome shall stand with the cross. Blood shall flow in the streets." - Our Lady, May 13, 1978

U.S. SHALL SUFFER GREAT CRISIS
"Already the forces of evil have gathered; and your country, the United States, which has now proceeded into spiritual darkness, shall suffer a great crisis. The time for being optimistic has passed by. Your country, the United States of America, shall be chastised. My heart is bereaved by the knowledge of the loss of great life that will come about in this minor chastisement. Wars are a punishment for man's sins.
"Because the United States and many nations upon earth have given themselves over to all manner of pleasures of the flesh, materialistic viewpoints and procedures and pursuits, casting aside the love and knowledge of his Creator, his God; seeking to set up upon earth a rule of government that has no place for his Creator, his God; and ruling upon earth with the forces of darkness and Lucifer who has opened the abyss to hell. And all the forces from hell have proceeded now to engulf your world. All manner of sin is being rationalized and condoned. And who has sought to stem the tide of evil? Only those of humble heart and charity of heart have reached out with prayers, with works, and with true devotion to the Sacred Heart of My Son, to stem the tide of evil; in true charity to try and keep trying as a labor of love for all Heaven, to rescue your brothers and sisters in the little time that is left to you.
"This chastisement that will soon come upon your country can engulf all of the nations upon the earth, and in this involvement many nations shall disappear from the face of the earth." - Our Lady, November 20, 1979

WORLD IN DEEP SPIRITUAL DARKNESS
"Your world is in deep spiritual darkness. The Message from Heaven is reaching all of the far corners of your earth. It is in the will of mankind, allowed by the Eternal Father, for all to hear the message and to make their own choice. In the days ahead, the days that will lead to the great crucible of suffering, there will be a gradual separation of the sheep from the goats.
"A great responsibility has been given to the pastors of My Son's Church. We have looked into the hearts of many pastors and found them wanting. It is a sad fact, My child, that even those who wear the mitres may fall into hell.
"My children, you go through your earthly life looking for the roses, but you must understand that the cross is always beneath the roses." - Our Lady, October 2, 1976

READ THE BOOK OF LIFE, THE BIBLE
"Pray a constant vigilance that you may not be led into the darkness. Read the Book of life and you will not be misled. Do not depend upon the agents of satan to rewrite this Book, but hold to your hearts and remain steadfast in the truth of your Faith. For the truth shall set you free from satan, and you will not continue into the darkness.
"O My poor, misguided children! Why have you given up your chance to reach the eternal Kingdom for the temporary gains and pleasures of the world? Do you not know that when you enter beyond the veil, you will leave as you did come? All that you can take with you are the merits of graces that have been stored in your treasury in Heaven.
"Man sold My Son, and man is selling My Son again for pieces of silver!" - Our Lady, March 18, 1974

"YOUR ONLY RECOURSE NOW IS PRAYER"
"My children, if you have been given the grace to be now in the light, We beg you to share this grace, and try from your heart to rescue those who are drifting toward the abyss of hell.
"Yes, your prayers and sacrifices are needed for those who do not have the power of grace to help themselves. If you could see the vast numbers who have already succumbed to the evil, you would spend all your time on your knees. No excuses must be given in defense of worldly gain. No excuses will be accepted if you did not care enough to save your brother. You will be held accountable for all discard of duty, of inborn godly conscience.
"Yes, the world is enshrouded in evil. Yes, it has entered everywhere. To talk solves few problems now on earth. Your only recourse now is prayer. We are of light and hope. If you cast Us aside, you will travel only one road--in the darkness!" - Our Lady, May 30, 1971

"MY SON'S HAND HAS NOW BEEN WITHDRAWN"
"You will continue to pray for your cardinals, your bishops, your priests, My Son's Church, His House upon earth. By your example many will be saved. By your prayers and example there is salvation for others. Continue now with your prayers of atonement. They are sorely needed, for the world is in great spiritual darkness. Satan has poisoned many minds.
"You will all now go forward as apostles of My Son, disciples of the latter days, under the banner of 'Our Lady of the Roses, Mary, Help of Mothers.' Many will come to join you. The Message from Heaven has now reached all corners of the earth. Many voices are sending out the news, the good news to mankind.
"It is just about time now, My child, for the world now to be tested. My Son's hand has now been withdrawn and the tribulation is coming upon mankind. Many will be taken and spared the terrible sorrows ahead." - Our Lady, June 18, 1980

A WALL THAT SHUTS OUT THE LIGHT
"The Eternal Father cries tears of great pity and sorrow, for mankind continues upon the road to his own destruction. Be ye warned, My children, that the Ball of Redemption shall be set upon mankind. Skin will dry up and blow off the bones as if it had never been. Eyes will see and still not believe, so hard are the hearts hardened to the truth.
"Spiritual darkness is a wall, a wall that shuts out the light. You will all continue with a constant vigilance of prayer. My beads of prayer to mankind, the Rosary, shall lead you across your land. Recognize, My children, all of the graces given from Heaven for your enlightenment, enrichment, and fulfillment. You, My children, are children of light. Continue with perseverance in the days ahead. Do not slacken your pace, but send out My message fast. Shout it from the rooftops. The time, time and a half, as written by your prophets grows short. It will come upon mankind, the destruction, while the voices cry for peace." - Our Lady, June 18, 1976

FAR WORSE THAN THE TIME OF NOAH
Veronica - Our Lady is pointing up, and I see two dignitaries. They, they look like cardinals. Now one is holding a key, a very large golden key, and the other now is counting out what looks like large silver pieces.
Now Our Lady is coming down just beside the flagpole.
Our Lady - "You see, My child, they are re-crucifying My Son for pieces of silver, for worldly gain. It is time all repeated. Your world is in a spiritual darkness far worse than in the time of Noe." - February 10, 1975

NO EXCUSES FOR MURDER OF UNBORN
"The children are the innocent victims of their elders. Your country and many countries of the world stand now in judgment by the Eternal Father for the murders of the unborn. No man shall destroy a creation of the Eternal Father. The spirit of life is breathed at the moment of conception into the body of a living child. At the moment of conception, the soul is placed by the Eternal Father into that child, and no excuses for murder shall be accepted by the Eternal Father.
"Darkness of spirit has entered upon your country and the world. Pray much, My children, for the value for life and the living grows dim. In your world of spiritual darkness, there shall be a loss for the love of life. Death will become commonplace as man loses his love of neighbor. But first and above all, he has lost his love of his God.
"No man shall murder--and it is murder, My children, when he shall give the excuse of saying an individual is no longer living or a part of the world because he has become emaciated, because he lives only with prayers and the help of all scientific means. The Eternal Father has placed a soul in that body. That body is the temple of the Holy Spirit! No man can know when that soul must return to the Eternal Father. No man shall hasten its exit from a body by murder! Euthanasia is murder! Shall you become a judge over the living and the dead?" - Our Lady, June 5, 1976

HEAVEN MOBILIZES FOR THE FINAL BATTLE
"I do not often speak out, but the world has sent itself into spiritual darkness. All Heaven now mobilizes for the final battle. It is through the providence of the Father that we of Heaven are permitted to speak with you. It is through the merciful heart of the Father that you are being warned. The destruction will come fast upon you, and we pity those souls unprepared.
"Your homes will be homes of prayer and good example. You may have to be an object of scorn and derision among your neighbors; but O my children, if they knew what awaits them, they would come and join you on their knees." - St. Joachim, July 25, 1973

WORLD COVERED IN DEEP SPIRITUAL DARKNESS
"Your world, the earth, is now covered in deep spiritual darkness. It is a sad fact, My children, that man has not profited by his past nor learned through a sad experience. Therefore, I have come to warn you over and over that unless you turn from your ways that offend your God and return the state of earth into even a small resemblance of its glory under God, you will receive a most terrible Chastisement. And many shall die in the Ball of Redemption.
"My children, it is a sad fact also that human nature must often be brought to a chastisement to awaken mankind from his slumber. The Eternal Father watches with great anguish as man proceeds in becoming more debased and immoral." - Our Lady, May 3, 1978

DAYS OF DEEP SPIRITUAL DARKNESS
"I have wandered across your earth as a very sad, heartbroken Mother of all the children of earth. I have wandered, hoping that, with the counsel from Heaven, We can rescue many souls in these days of deep spiritual darkness.
"My heart, as a Mother, is torn asunder because of the permissive attitudes that are allowed by the teaching fathers of My Son's Church. I hear little children of a tender age of three and four being taught immorality of word and action. O My children, the sin upon your earth is far greater than any sin in the past! Surely you will remember Sodom and the punishment that fell upon that city." - Our Lady, June 18, 1978

"USE EVER MEANS NOW TO SAVE YOUR SOULS"
"Great graces are still extended in this great time of spiritual darkness, My children: graces for cures and conversions, cures of the spirit, cures of the body; graces to bring from purgatory your beloved ones. Use every means now to save your souls, to save your beloved ones, while there is time. I repeat: Many shall die in the great flame of the Ball of Redemption. Many shall be taken before that, but many shall still die, My children." - Jesus, September 28, 1979

WORSE THAN THE TIME OF NOAH OR LOT
"Many years My Mother has traveled in diverse places, among many tongues and nations, to caution you and counsel you. Her heart, the purest heart in all the women of the world, Our star of Heaven, your Mother, has tirelessly pursued Her urgent pleadings with mankind to turn back, as they slowly go forward, faster and faster, to their own destruction.
"'How long,' the voices of those who are persecuted and must die, are saying--the voices rise to Heaven, join with the saints: 'How long, O Lord, shall you continue to find excuses upon excuses as these generations of degenerates have progressed into a spiritual darkness and depravity far worse than even during the time of Noe or Lot? How long, O Lord, shall many more martyrs shed their blood?'
"My children, voices cry out to Heaven to stop the carnage, the inhumanity of man to his brother. But I say unto you, as your God, that you have a free will to correct all the wrong or extend it until you destroy yourselves." - Jesus, May 30, 1981
