Directive from Heaven #761 - The Test - given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#761 - The Test

"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places: Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall put you to death: and you shall be hated by all nations for my name's sake." - St. Matthew 24: 7-9

"THE TEST IS HERE"
"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

TAKEN BEFORE TRIBUNALS
"Visit My Son often. You must eat of His Body and drink of His Blood, so that you will have the strength to resist the evil forces that have now invaded and multiplied upon your earth.
"The enemies of My Son will seek to take this great grace from you. So hasten, My children, be with My Son while you can, for the day will come when you will cry bitter tears and have to hide yourselves from your tormentors. For you will be taken before tribunals and set to the test for your Faith.
"Yes, My child, you ask Me, has it been many years that I have traveled throughout the earth? Countless earth-years, and why? Because, My child, My message was not heeded. Man has become perverse, degraded, and debased. He has given his body and his spirit to Lucifer, satan." - Our Lady, April 6, 1974

"ALL WHO ARE ROTTEN WILL FALL"
"My child and My children, We have asked you on numerous occasions to pray for the clergy. They do not have a special passport from Heaven. They fight the influence of satan and his agents upon earth, but they need your prayers. You have forgotten them. They need your prayers. I ask of you all to pray for your parish priests. Temptation is great upon them; however, they are being put to the test by the Eternal Father, and all who are rotten will fall." - Our Lady, June 18, 1993

WHEN THE CHURCH UNITES WITH THE WORLD
"My child, at this time there is not much that I can think of that will explain to you in your human language the despair that fills Our hearts in Heaven. The numbers of souls falling daily into hell are increasing because of the lack of discipline and faults of leadership in My House. You will not follow the ways of man, but you will bring man onto My road. When you have joined My House with the world and it has become one, know that the end of your era has come. You are going to receive the test of trial; in this manner shall We separate the sheep from the goats, and those that will be left shall set up the renewed Kingdom upon your earth
"My Mother has been sent on this mission by the Father to warn you, then to prepare you for what lies ahead if you refuse to turn back from the ways that have set you onto the path of darkness. The forces of evil are rampant now within My House and in the hearts of men. Unless you turn back now, make atonement to the Father for the many offenses against Him, you will receive the sword." - Jesus, May 30, 1974

"ALL WILL BE TESTED"
"I shall not admonish My clergy anew. My Mother has directed and counseled you well to mend your ways, for many cardinals and bishops shall fall fast into hell. And many who have been seduced by their new modes of modernism and humanism shall go with them into hell. No man shall escape a reward for his evildoing! No man shall excuse his evildoing! The Eternal Father has looked into your hearts and found you wanting.
"My children, keep a fortress of faith in your hearts and the hearts of your children. Guard them well and you will go through this crucible of suffering. It is only because man has turned from the Eternal Father that this has been allowed to come upon him. Now the test will be like placing metals in the fires. All will be tested." - Jesus, September 13, 1977

"NONE SHALL ESCAPE THE TEST"
"The Eternal Father waits for you to reverse your ways. The Eternal Father waits for you to restore My House to its former glory. Stop running about seeking another master, while you pile up riches of gold and silver that shall melt in the firmaments; while you gather power--and what power do you have but for the destruction of mankind?
    "In your blindness for power, you lose all charity of heart to your neighbor; you seek to forcefully enslave him. And for what?
    "I say unto you, as your God, that the day is near at hand, the day of reckoning for many. Turn back now while you have time, for the sands are running out. I say unto you, as your God, that there shall be a tribulation set upon mankind and none shall escape the test.
    "Have you prepared your household? Are you ready, My children? Has My Mother come upon you and among you to have you turn and toss off Her warnings and counsel? I say to you: the day is near at hand! All who are of well spirit at that time will go through this tribulation with confidence, but woe to the man who has sold his soul to satan." - Jesus, May 14, 1977

EVERY CITY, EVERY STATE, EVERY COUNTRY
"The lives of many are filled with degradation and corruption, the knowledge of God, the true God in Heaven, being uprooted and supplanted, and the knowledge of satan being glorified upon your earth. Satan is one of destruction and evil. Satan is the prince of darkness, the master of deceit. And because you turned your back on My Son now, he is allowed now to claim his own; he is sending his disciples now throughout your earth to claim his own. Every city, every state, every country throughout the world will now feel the test; you shall be tried like metal in the fires! When you come out of this test, My children, all that is rotten will have fallen. You will be cleansed by trial.
"My children, you must now use all of the armor that was given to you through the years, of earth-years. You must give all of the knowledge to your children, knowledge that was written down in the Book of life, the Bible; knowledge that was given by prophecy to individuals chosen by the good God, the Lord high God in Heaven. You must now implement this knowledge and prepare for the battle that is now raging." - Our Lady, September 7, 1977

"MY SON CRIED"
"Many have sold their souls to satan to get to hell faster. Many have sold their souls to gain what? Worldly riches and power of temporary nature! What does it gain you if you gather every treasure upon earth and lose your soul? When you leave your body, you will be judged. Every man, woman, and child of conscionable age will be judged. And I tell you now, not one bit of your silver or gold shall buy your way into the Kingdom of Heaven. You will only enter by merit.
"O My children, what a day of sorrow this is to Us in Heaven! It is My natal day, but I cannot be filled with joy. I can only cry. My Son cried when He knew it was the time for the test." - Our Lady, September 7, 1977

GREAT TEST OF LOVE AND OBEDIENCE
"I have asked you all to make atonement to the Eternal Father, to live a life of prayer. You must be in the world, but not of the world. My Son has asked much of many of you who hear My words and will read My counsel. But for those who have received much, much is expected of them. The test is great.
"To be a disciple for My Son, the test of love and obedience is great. No man or woman chosen for the path to Heaven shall go without test. You will be tested as metals in the fire. If you love your mother, your father, your sister, your brother, your wife, your husband, your children before, and place them between the border of spiritual salvation or destruction of the soul; if you place them first before My Son, you cannot be a disciple for Heaven, and your salvation shall be in the balance. The road to Heaven is a narrow one. The roses are given at the end of the road, My child and My children." - Our Lady, June 13, 1981

WILL SOON BE PLACED HEAVILY UPON MANY
"Protect your children and your homes, for many tears shall be shed by parents. Wear your sacramentals. Do not be influenced by those who have lost their way and seek to take others with them. You must be different in this world of satan. Receive his mark and you are lost. Receive the mark of the cross and you are saved.
"The test will soon be placed heavily upon many. You will pray a constant vigilance of prayer, and when you grow despondent or despairing, you will say, My Jesus, my confidence.
"My ears are never closed. Our Hearts are open to you. Believe and you will be given the way. Seek and you will find. The truth is a simple way, and you must live this simple way, and stay out of the world and its entanglements with satan." - Jesus, June 13, 1981

HAVE YOU PREPARED YOUR HOUSEHOLD?
"I have cautioned you, parents, to protect your children. They must not be without a sacramental upon them! We are now at war, My children, a war of the spirits, far greater a war than man has ever experienced in the history of his creation. It is a war to a final battle. The sheep are being separated from the goats, the wheat from the chaff. My children, have you prepared your household for the test?
"Parents will assume the greatest responsibility for keeping Tradition and Faith, the firm foundation of Faith in the hearts of their children. There will be much woe set upon the earth by the evil one." - Our Lady, June 16, 1977

"ALL WILL GO THROUGH THE TEST"
"My Mother has traveled throughout your world crying tears from a Mother's heart upon you, begging you to turn back now before it is too late. You cast aside Her counsel, man of science, and this evil of free will used to turn the Spirit of light away from mankind and plunge him into the spirit of darkness. Mankind shall receive a great punishment. How many years has My Mother pleaded for your repatriation! The heavy hand of chastisement hovered over you, held back by the few. And now We see those who were lukewarm growing cold; the good, apathetic; and the bad becoming worse.
"As you go forward in your sin, you shall promote major insanity throughout your world: murder, corruption, immodesty, immorality, all manner of foul deeds being committed to destroy the temple of your God, your bodies profaned! My children, all will go through the test. Every man, woman, and child of conscionable age shall meet this test, and all that is rotten shall fall!" - Jesus, June 16, 1977

"THE TEST OF YOUR TIMES"
"Repeat, my child, this word to mankind. There is now upon your earth loosed the demons from the abyss. It is the test of your times. Each soul will be tested like the metal in the fires, and those who come through these times of trial without bending shall be given the key to the Kingdom." - St. Paul, November 24, 1973

"MAN HAS FAILED THE TEST ANEW"
"My child, it is a dark day for mankind. Man has failed the test anew. Murder and violence--sin is a way of life in your country and the world. How long can I hold back the great cataclysm from upon you? Do not think or go about your daily lives without preparation, for it will come upon you suddenly.
"I have warned you, I have given you the plan for your salvation as given to Me by the Father. It is through the merciful heart of the Father that I have come to these sacred grounds as a Mediatrix between God and man. However, your days are counted. Gather your loved ones. Save your soul and the souls of those you love, for many will die in the great flame of the Ball of Redemption." - Our Lady, February 10, 1974

BEING PLACED UPON MANKIND
"My child and children of the world, it is not often that I choose, through the direction of the Eternal Father, to come forward and speak to you, but your world now is passing through a crisis. You must all recognize the test that is being placed upon mankind.
"Evil creations from hell--all manner of abominations are entering into the homes of your nation and the countries throughout the world. It will be an absolute necessity now for all parents to act as a director, a leader in the homes. The greatest attack from satan shall be upon family life. If you break down the family, you will break down the nation." - St. Joseph, March 15, 1978

"THE TEST WILL BE GREAT"
"The greatest strength for parents in your so-called modern civilization is the knowledge that the eventual triumph over this evil will be for Heaven. Even My Church shall come out of the conflagration renewed.
"The test will be great, but this will be allowed to mankind as a manner to separate the sheep from the goats. The harvest will be great! But those who did not listen, of free will, and made no effort to repair the cracks in My House, My Church, and those who did not listen and made no effort to save their souls and the souls of their families and children, they shall be caught up in the harvest and burned." - Jesus, March 15, 1978

"ARE YOU READY FOR THE TEST?"
"Do not be fooled by those who have fouled their garments. There are devils loosed upon your earth assuming human form for destruction.
"Your country had been placed under the guidance of the Mother of God, Mary, the Immaculate, and as such She begs clemency before the Eternal Father and more time for your redemption before the Ball is set upon you.
"Parents, prepare your household. Are you ready for the test?" - St. Michael, July 15, 1975

"EACH SOUL SHALL BE GIVEN THE TEST"
"There are many now in Rome, My children, who seek to set up a one-world religion. It is based on humanism and modernism. It is not the religion of Tradition given by My Son Jesus to mankind. Man is building a church of man. It is not one of the cross.
"You ask, My child, why this is permitted? It is only but for a short time. Man is being tested. The sheep shall be separated from the goats. Each soul shall be given the test." - Our Lady, December 27, 1975

"ALL WILL BE PLACED TO THE TEST"
"Listen, My child, to this direction. It will not be long before My Mother will use few words. The message will be given in its entirety to the world. This message will be spread throughout the world, joined by many seers in many places. When the world has been covered, all will be placed to the test. Know that there will be sent upon mankind a Warning of great proportion, and then, should this go unheeded, you will receive a great Chastisement. All who are of well spirit will have no need to fear, for all will be good for those of well spirit.
"Do not cast aside the graces needed for your redemption. My Mother will remain at your side during the days of trial. All will be given in judgment according to their merit. None will fall into the abyss unless of his own free will. It is the will of the Father that none be lost to satan. Wear your sacramentals and keep in mind the direction of My Mother, for She has been sent to you as a Mediatrix. Do not take Her words idly, for She has given you the light of truth." - Jesus, November 23, 1974

"MANY SHALL BE PUT TO THE TEST"
"My children, many are now waiting to enter Heaven having spent many earth-years in purgatory. It is a place of purging. My children, accept your sufferings for your Faith upon earth, and you will escape a long duration of purging in purgatory. Many shall be put to the test, My children, for it is the day of the gathering of the saints, the latter-day saints.
"Pray a constant vigilance of prayer in your homes, and keep these prayers going throughout your country and all of the countries of the world. Hold back the darkness that is enclosing upon mankind.
"I will be with you unto the Second Coming of My Son. I promise you, My children, that you will never be alone upon earth. There are angel guardians with you at all times. Seek them out; do not cast them aside, My children. They are as living as you are." - Our Lady, May 30, 1978

WILL BRING YOU ALMOST TO THE BREAKING POINT
"I have need to instruct you, My child, that you will be subject to great trial. The test will bring you almost to the breaking point. Satan has set many agents to destroy My work, but I shall crush his head.
"You ask, My child, why I permit--why My Son and the Father permit you to stand under such great attack. It is because you are Our champion. All whom We have taken to set as disciples for the work of saving souls throughout the world will be subject to great physical, mental attacks, and even attacks by satan to enter into their spiritual life. You have no need to fear, for as you hold My hand and follow My direction, you will emerge gloriously with the Father." - Our Lady, December 30, 1972

"PREPARE AND MAKE READY FOR THE TEST"
"My child, the balance is heavily to the left. Know you now that the warnings given in the past to prepare yourself are going to be proven to mankind as being a final warning through the Queen of Heaven and earth by the direction of the Eternal Father. The Queen of Heaven has come to you as a Mediatrix from the Eternal Father.
    "I, Michael, guardian of the Faith, guardian of the House of God, admonish all pastors to prepare and make ready for the test!
    "The world of man shall go through a crucible of suffering, a period of cleansing. All that is rotten shall fall. The straying sheep shall be gathered. One shall be taken, the other remain.
    "All pastors shall stand before the Eternal Father for judgment. Have you gathered your straying sheep?" - St. Michael, December 24, 1975

EACH AND EVERY BEARER OF THE LIGHT
"My children, you will keep a constant vigil of prayer going throughout your country and the world. I ask you to go forward as bearers of the light. The world now is in deep darkness. The light shall not be extinguished. However, many shall fall away, as they do not have the strength of spirit to continue on the road to the Kingdom of Heaven.
"We will ask in the days ahead many sacrifices from Our children. Each and every bearer of the light will be given the test." - Our Lady, November 19, 1977

PERMITTED
"Satan, the man of perdition, the prince of darkness now is upon your world; he walks your earth. Satan, not his consorts or demons, but satan himself is loosed now from hell and walks your earth. He has been permitted to send onto you the test, My children. He has entered upon your earth to claim his own." - Our Lady, October 6, 1977

EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD
"My child and My children, I do not have to, at this time, enlarge upon My Mother's counsel to you. For many earth-years you have been warned of the approach of these days. Because your generation has fallen into a way of life that is not akin to Heaven's plan, the forces of hell have been loosed now; and every man, woman, and child will be put to the test in the days to come.
"It is truly now a battle of the supernatural. If you remain close to My heart in the Eucharist, if you nourish your souls with My Body and Blood, I assure you, My children, you will not fall into the darkness. This will be a glorious time for many, for many will be given the sight to see into the supernatural life." - Jesus, October 1, 1977

THEY WILL PASS THE TEST IF …
"Remember the sacramentals. They were given to you for reason. Once you leave your homes--your homes are fortified by your statues, monuments to your God, but when your children close the doors behind them, they meet with satan. They will pass the test if they receive a firm foundation of truth from their homes and their pastors, teachers who are truly in the light.
"I ask, My child, that all parents give themselves to reading the Book of life and love to their children, be it in the morning or afternoon, or a small measure of their evening free time. You will find that it is not a dull source of reading as many think. It is a Book of true wisdom and knowledge." - Our Lady, September 28, 1974

"MANY WILL NOT STAND IN THE TEST"
"Sin and abominations have been accepted in your country and in the world as a way of life. Whatever shall We do with the souls who are coming fast over the veil unprepared? Whatever shall the Father do with them?
"When the Chastisement is given to man, it will not annihilate the world as in the time of the floods, My children. No, the Father plans a gradual cleansing of earth. With the return of My Son, there will remain only the sheep.
"I must caution you: before the return of My Son, many will not stand in the test. They will go the easy road. But there is no easy road to the Kingdom; it is a way of trial and suffering. But, of course, the greatest knowledge is that if you will ask for Our guidance, you will not be lost. Continue, My children, with your prayers of atonement. There are so many who thirst for your charitable prayers." - Our Lady, May 30, 1973
