Directive from Heaven #743 - The Proud and Boastful United States - given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#743 - The Proud and Boastful United States

"The beginning of the pride of man, is to fall off from God." - Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 10:14

THE PROUD AND BOASTFUL UNITED STATES
"If only I could show you, the prideful and boastful United States and Canada—if I could show you what the enemy has in store for you now, you would grovel on your knees to make restitution to the Eternal Father. But now this must be taught to you in a most sorrowful way." - Our Lady, September 27, 1986

YOUR COUNTRY HAS FALLEN
"Your country, the eagle, has fallen and been plucked by satan. The great bird no longer flies high. No, I say unto you: because of your immorality, your materialistic seeking, your scientific pursuits to outdo the Eternal Father in His plan for mankind, you bring upon yourselves great trial and punishment.” – Jesus, November 19, 1977

SKELETON OF ITS FORMER GLORY
"Your country, with the symbol of the eagle, the proud bald eagle so pure and white, has been plucked! It is but a skeleton of its former glory, slowly starved of the light." – Our Lady, September 28, 1979

PAGANISM AND SIN
"I hear all cries of peace, peace, and security, going throughout your world, My children. But there is no peace, there is no security. And your country, the United States of America, the great eagle has been plucked by satan and his agents. You see lying now before you a majestic eagle, the once proud symbol of America, fallen because of paganism and sin.
"It is known through history that once a country has given itself over to all manner of paganism and sin, it is not long before that country falls into a system of dictatorship, bringing great sorrow, even murder to the masses.” – Jesus, May 26, 1979

AMERICA FOOLISHLY THINKS IT IS SAVIOR OF THE WORLD
"America, the United States, you, too, have become walking with your eyes blinded to the truth. You seek peace and happiness, but the more you cry 'peace,' the more in your foolishness you give yourself to being saviors of the world--the enemy is seeking your downfall.
"O My children of the United States, do you not understand what is ahead for you? Your country, the United States, has not known what it is to suffer through destructive forces. My children, you shall not escape the destruction that the Bear of communism has set upon many countries in Europe and the world. You cannot compromise your Faith to save what there is left, for everything upon earth shall fall as rubble with the Chastisement. A ball of fire, a chastisement, a baptism of fire, is heading for mankind. Can you not understand?" - Our Lady, November 20, 1978

A TRUE PICTURE OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH
"Your country, under the label of liberalism, rationalism, humanism, all manners of fallacy, has now committed the most abominable of acts! Justice, law, discipline are being replaced by all manners of evil, permissiveness, loss of knowledge of sin, debauchery . . . a true picture of Sodom and Gomorrha!” – Our Lady, March 18, 1976

ONCE A CHRISTIAN NATION
"O My children, how happy were the days when I could look down from Heaven upon you and find that America was so beautiful--a Christian nation, devout, pious, and following the road as given by the Eternal Father, through My Son and the Holy Spirit of light. And now the light has been darkened.” - Our Lady, December 24, 1979

LEARN A SIMPLE LESSON FROM THE PAST
"Learn a simple lesson from the past, My children. When the morals of a country start to go down into darkness, and the teachings turn from God to man, that country will soon be ended. First the spiritual life and then the material life of your country shall be destroyed." - Jesus, October 2, l976

SAME COURSE AS THE FALL OF AN EMPIRE
"A country is known by the moral values, My children. In the history of your world, if you consult and look, My children, you will find that your country and many in your world are now proceeding along the same course taken before the fall of an empire!" - Our Lady, February 10, 1976

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

“WHERE SHALL YOU COME TO BUT A FAST DESTRUCTION”
"You are, as a nation, as are many nations throughout your earth, fast onto the road to self-destruction through perdition. My children, you do not learn from your past, but you go on making the same mistakes. In your human nature you are weak, but you do not pray enough! You do not do penance for your sins and the offenses you commit against your God. My children, you do not read your Bible. Instead, you pollute your minds with the writings of man. You have become a frivolous nation, condoning all manner of sin, immorality! Where shall you come to but a fast destruction.
"Your leaders, even the highest men in your courts, now condone homosexuality, an offense to your God and all mankind. And what are the fruits of this condoning of sin? Mur-r-rders!!! Murders of the young! Bands of roaming homosexuals going throughout all of the major cities in your United States of America, the once proud country.
"My children, you must understand that as a nation you are on now the brink of disaster. If you do not listen to My pleas, the counsel I have given you while coming to you upon earth, you will be destroyed as a nation.” – Our Lady, June 2, 1979

AMERICA HAS CAST ASIDE ITS GOD
"All of the major countries of your world, My children, are preparing for war. All cry peace, peace, and place a mask over their intentions as they prepare for war. Your country, I promise, as I have promised in the past, to give you My protection. America the beautiful has become soiled with corruption. America, once beautiful, has taken on a new leader, and his name is satan. A country that has cast aside a true moral value, a country that has abandoned its God to seek more and more of the material and power over the lives of mankind, this country has sown the seeds for its own destruction.” – Our Lady, August 5, 1976

GIANT DESTRUCTION
"My child, I will not enlarge upon My Mother's counsel to you this evening. However, I must repeat this: that your country and the nations of the world are in dire distress and in danger of a giant, terrible crisis--a giant destruction upon you and all mankind.” – Jesus, October 1, 1983

GATHERED THE MATERIAL AND LOST THE SPIRITUAL
"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!” – Our Lady, June 24, 1976

U.S. SHALL HARVEST A DESTRUCTION
"Your country shall harvest a destruction that counts human nature defiled by mankind as its reward. As you sow, so shall you reap.” – Our Lady, September 13, 1975

HAS BECOME A LAND OF PAGANS
"As I have warned you in the past, My children, while foolish man ran about crying peace, love, and brotherhood, planning to disarm, to leave your country unprotected, others whom your leaders shake hands with are planning your destruction.
    "My children, an arsenal of arms now are being gathered throughout the world. They are major instruments of destruction. It is the regime of terror that man has brought upon himself by rejecting his God.
    "Your country, the United States and America, has become a land of pagans. Your country and America and many countries of the world have given themselves over to all manner of pleasures of the flesh and defilement of the human body and desecration of their bodies and their spirits.
    "My children, how can I prepare you, how can I lead you onto the right road now, when there is so little time left!
    "Before the destruction of Sodom, warnings, many warnings were given to mankind. These warnings also fell upon deafened ears.” – Our Lady, February 1, 1978

BLACK CLOUD OVER AMERICA
"In the days of Sodom, so too were men giving themselves over to all the pleasures of the flesh: eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage. All manner of sinful lusts are being committed. Men shameful with men, women casting aside their role of motherhood and lusting after women. As it was in the days of Sodom, so now is this black cloud over America." - Our Lady, July 14, 1979

HOMOSEXUALITY
"And the great issue now of homosexuality in your country, that shall be on the balance that Michael holds. Unless this balance is evened by removing this evil from your country and bringing in just laws to prevent the spread of homosexuality, you cannot be saved; your country cannot be saved. Because I repeat again, as I have repeated in the past: When a country has given itself over to immorality and all pleasures of the flesh, and abominations of the flesh, then that country will fall! If you do not believe Me, My children, I say: You will read your history books, and you will find out that there was a Sodom and Gomorrah. And what did We do to that abominable city, Sodom? We destroyed it! And what did We do to Gomorrah? We destroyed it! And We destroyed all who did not follow the plan for their redemption." - Jesus, November 1, 1985

SIN CONDONED UNTO THE HIGHEST JUDGE OF YOUR LAND
"Are you so blind that you do not recognize the acceleration of sin among you? Murders abound, thievery, all manner of carnage, destruction of young souls, abortion, homosexuality, condemned from the beginning of time by the Eternal Father. Yet sin has become a way of life. Sin is condoned now, even unto the highest judge of your land and your lands throughout the world. As you have sown so shall you reap. Sin is death, not only of the spirit, but of the body. Wars are a punishment for man's sin, his greed, his avarice." - Our Lady, August 14, 1981

BRING BACK PUBLIC PRAYER
“Your country must bring back public prayer. Your country must make atonement for the offenses being committed against the God, your Lord, the King of Heaven and earth, your Creator. Man upon earth has chosen to give honor to man. After the great cleansing, the fruits of man’s hands shall fall! Much will be reduced to ashes and rubble. He will rebuild in the manner the Father directs, under the direction of the Father.” - Our Lady, August 21, 1973

REMOVING CHRISTIANITY
“Your children are being educated in the schools, to take all Christianity from their lives, and believe not in the supernatural things of God, but the diabolical processes of satan, in cults.” - Our Lady, June 18, 1987

LUXURY YOUR DOWNFALL
"Our hearts are greatly saddened by the evils and abominations being committed in the houses of God throughout the world. Man has given himself to all pleasures of the flesh. Luxury in your country, My children, has been your downfall, for you have forgotten your God and you have starved your soul.
"The Eternal Father is most merciful, My children, and He will chastise those He loves. There is great value in suffering. Many will carry heavy crosses, My children, in the days ahead.
"In the city of Rome, the light is dim. The battle continues, the battle of the spirits. The sheep are being separated from the goats by the Eternal Father. In the end all that is rotten will have fallen." - Our Lady, December 6, 1975

"YOUR EXCESSIVE LUXURY"
"You will not be free from the disasters visited elsewhere. You will not learn a lesson until the destruction falls upon you. Your country will no longer remain intact in the face of destruction.
"Your excessive luxury has weakened your souls. The Eternal Father needed less provocation when He finished arrogant man in his world of sin. Your evil has become far greater than the past sins of man." - Our Lady, July 15, 1971

REPENT NOW OR BE LOST FOREVER
"Now, My child, I will tell you one major reason why the Father sent Me to you and chose this site as a center of reparation. It is because of the murder of the young. It is because your city, your nation, has great influence throughout the world. Your example will be followed by many. But you must return the Father and restore discipline in your daily lives, or you, too, will fall to the sword.
"I repeat, the evil spreads out like a cancer, strangling all in its web. The mariners will stand far off and weep in grief as they see you burning. O city of Babylon, your sins have caused your destruction. Repent now or be lost forever." - Our Lady, March 18, 1974

BABYLON THE GREAT WILL FALL
"This is--Babylon the great will fall. Babylon, the master of deceit, will fall. Many good must suffer as martyrs with the bad. Babylon the great will fall! She has raised herself high above her God, and she invokes the vengeance of a just punishment. Ships will look upon her as she burns. Woefully they will shield their eyes from the sight. Babylon the great, the harlot upon nations, the harlot among nations, will fall. Babylon the great, who has led many astray, will fall." - Our Lady, July 15, 1973

YOUR CITY OF BABYLON
"I have come to what I believe, My children, to be an oasis in a barren land, to this seat of evil--your city of Babylon. But, My children, I know within this city of evil there are many that can rise above it and reach out and save their brothers." - Our Lady, April 1, 1972

NOTHING COMPARED TO YOUR BABYLON
"I have cried, My child, many bitter tears of sorrow. It is a great remorse to know that We are watching a repetition of the terrible days of old. Sodom and Gomorrha--they were as nothing in comparison to your Babylon today! Your world and your country have accepted sin as a way of life. The young are the victims of their elders. The example is poor, and many souls will be led onto the road to eternal damnation." - Our Lady, August 5, 1974

MAJOR ROLE
"Because of the major role the city of New York plays in the world governments and the governing of your nation, the United States, My child, it is for this reason that satan chose that area for his start to bring into your country a full overthrow of Christian belief." - Our Lady, October 1, 1977

DESIGNED FOR DESTRUCTION
"A country is designed for destruction, My child, when that country has turned from his Creator and given himself over to debasements of the flesh! Paganism, immorality, lust, licentious conduct--all this and more, will send a country to its destruction.” - Jesus, May 28, 1975

IMPRISONED FOR THE LOVE OF JESUS AND TRUTH
"O My child, if I could take you on My travels, what sorrow would fill your heart. Already many are imprisoned because of the love of My Son and the upholding of the truth. And sad to say, the imprisonment is also within your country that has always been called the land of the free." - Our Lady, December 31, 1970
