Directive from Heaven #118 - The Little Way - given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#118 - The Little Way

“Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter into it.” - St. Mark 10:15

"JOIN ME"
"I am Theresa of the Infant Jesus. I sought not the riches of this world, but hid myself with poverty of body but richness of spirit. I found in my obscurity a far greater glory in the light from Heaven.
"Follow my little way. Join me here in this glorious Kingdom. How worthless the things of the world when placed next to the glories of Heaven." - St. Theresa, October 2, 1970

SECRET TO PIETY
St. Theresa - "Use the little way. Be simple of heart and thought and speech. For you must be different to come over the veil, my sister. Accept all trials. Use them for the repatriation of your brothers and sisters in purgatory. You will understand, Veronica, my sister, that soon you will look forward to receiving these little aggravations, for you are then given the opportunity to save more souls, my sister. You will understand.
   "Graces are given in the most strange ways, my sister. You will learn to love adversity, for it is the secret to piety."
   Veronica - I don't know if I repeated it, but it's very fresh in my mind that Saint Theresa has said that we should accept all adversity. We should look forward to even minor irritations, for they can be used as a point of grace, to receive grace that can be transferred to the suffering souls in purgatory. I understand that Theresa made it known to me that it is something that you will understand in time with practice. It is a simple way to Heaven. And Theresa also said now tonight and before, in the past, that you must be quite simple, childlike, in your approach to the world and on your way to Heaven, with the confidence of a child and a trust in the Father, accepting all in the will of God, giving your whole soul and human life into the will of God, accepting the Eternal Father as your guide as you would in a loving father.
   Theresa says there is no reason to fear the Father in Heaven, for He is all-loving. All punishment that is given to mankind has been indirectly willed by mankind. He has made his own punishment because he has turned away from the direction, from the direction from God the Father. It is a form of just chastisement and cleansing; for over the veil you must be as pure and holy as an angel to enter the eternal Kingdom of God. - February 10, 1978

HUMBLE LESSON
"I have come to give you a humble lesson, a lesson on the little ways of attaining your sanctification on earth, so you will be certain to enter the Kingdom. As you live your human life upon the earth, you will say to yourself, 'am I pleasing my Jesus?'
"Many must earn their daily bread. All must earn their daily bread upon the earth. In doing this they will do this with honor. Of the hours you awaken to, you will say, 'this day I give to please my God.' In this manner you will be directed in the light.
"You have all received in your baptism the opportunity to attain the Kingdom. The road is very simple to follow. You do not look for recognition among men. You look to please your God. You try to please your God. For if you try to find recognition and the approval of man on earth, you are doomed to great sorrow. For all the hours, the waking hours of your life on earth must be with one purpose in mind-that you are working your way back to the Kingdom." - St. Theresa, December 31, 1972

CONTINUE WITH CONFIDENCE
"I know, My child, that you have found the cross growing heavy, but We place great dependence and confidence upon you. The Father knows your great love for Him. Therefore, you will continue with confidence. We cannot promise you a life without suffering, for graces are not earned easily, My child, though they are given freely. However, you will follow the direction of your sister, Theresa, who has taught you her little way of gaining Heaven through suffering.
"My child, make it known that no suffering is ever wasted, for there are graces following behind these crucibles." - Our Lady, June 8, 1973

TRUE LOVE
"Listen carefully, Veronica, to my words.
   "I gave my life upon earth as a child. My little way was a way of love. True love seeks no self-gratification, but the well-being of the beloved. It is only in giving that you shall receive.
   "All must now retire from your world that has been given to satan. You will not have both. You must now pick up the cross and carry it. Only in this way will you stay on the road. It is a narrow road, and when you leave, it is difficult to find the way back.
   "The direction to the Kingdom has been given to you all the duration of life on your earth. It is a simple plan of love. You do not offend and hurt those you love; so why have you chosen to offend and hurt Jesus and our Mother, Mary?" - St. Theresa, March 25, 1973

LITTLE WAY TO SANCTITY
"Prayer has given way to worldly pleasure. My sisters, you are truly foolish maidens. You have given yourselves as brides of Christ. A bride does not commit adultery in her heart. When you reject the Son of God, you truly commit this in your heart. The spirit has no part of the flesh. You must live in the spirit and fight the pleasures of the flesh. For these pleasures are not being used in the manner given by the Father.
"Chastity and poverty, these are given for reason. Do not discard this little way to sanctity." - St. Theresa, September 28, 1974

TRUST, CONFIDENCE, LOVE
"Veronica, my sister, do not be saddened now. We have cried, and our tears have fallen upon you and the world. I have given-yes, I have left upon your earth my little plan for salvation, given me by Our Lady: trust and confidence and love. Love our Jesus, love our Father, and call to the Holy Ghost. No one is ever passed by unanswered. Satan seeks to remove from among you the existence of these truths." - St. Theresa, February 1, 1973

REREAD THE MESSAGES
"You must go back, My child, to the early years, 1968, and reread the messages given to you by your sister, Theresa. She has trained you well, Theresa, the Little Flower." - Our Lady, December 24, 1974

RETIRE INTO THE SPIRIT
"Our sisters do not wear the beautiful garments. Our sisters now paint themselves. Oh, our sisters now curl their hair. They are no longer dedicated to the spirit. They have become no longer the brides of Christ but the misses of the world!
"O my sister, will you not send a writing to them quickly before it is too late! They must change their ways now, for they offend the Father much. They must come out of the world and retire into the spirit. All dedicated with vocations must retire from this world that has been given to satan. They must live lives of the spirit, for you cannot be of the world and of the spirit, for you will accept one and deny the other." - St. Theresa, May 17, 1975

CONSECRATION
"As an instrument of Heaven, you have accepted a consecration to the Father for the remainder of your earthly life. You will meet with much opposition. All that you do, you will do for the Father and give little care for the opinion of man. Theresa, your sister, will guide you along the path, as you will learn the necessity of having a true thirst for souls." - Our Lady, March 18, 1974

A SECRET
St. Theresa - "Veronica, my sister, I did not choose to rest on earth, or over the veil. I do pray that you will also make this decision, for we need all in the battle ahead. I shall not accept a rest, for I will spend my time in Heaven coming down to your earth to help gather the souls. Hold my hand, my sister, and the road will be easier. Together we could tread over the petals and escape many of the thorns. Do you know, my sister, how to do this? You must pray more, and ask for more suffering. And I have a secret for you: the Father will give you less!"
Veronica - Oh!
St. Theresa - "Pray more and ask for more suffering, and the Father will give you less. You see, the Father is most gentle, Veronica. You will learn to love Him as I did, and as I do." - September 6, 1975

QUEST FOR SOULS
"My sister Veronica, I am happy that you have recognized me this evening, though my heart is also heavy, as the Queen of Heaven suffers much for the sins for mankind. The Eternal Father does plan a heavy penance upon mankind. O my sister, can you not join me in the quest for souls? Remember, I asked you many years ago to go fishing with me, and I said to you, my sister, that we will join and be fishermen for souls.
"However, in your world now of confusion, this did not mean we shall join in the revolt of the women against the plan of God. You must tell all of the sisters in the convents, and all the women upon earth, that the Eternal Father has given them their role as children of God. They must not revolt against Him and be liberated from this role, for they have been then deluded by Lucifer.
"Your Bible must be studied well, and you will understand that the Eternal Father gave you truly a simple way to follow. It goes far beyond much human understanding, because without prayer and suffering and penance, you will not have the gift from the Eternal Father to understand even the Sacred Scriptures." - St. Theresa, October 2, 1979

VALUE OF SUFFERING
"Also, you will understand fully when I tell you the value of suffering. You can always offer this for the souls that need the repatriation. Yes, my sister, no suffering is ever wasted. For you must accept it in the right light, knowing that even our dear Jesus suffered upon earth at the hands of those He loved. But one thing you know now is He never gave up loving them, even as they recrucified Him." - St. Theresa, October 2, 1989

LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN
"Remember, My children, that Jesus said, 'Unless you become as little children, you cannot enter in the Kingdom of Heaven.' Just as little Theresa once wrote, My child, will you kindly repeat. It brings great joy to My heart to know of the simple things that are so lost in your world today. The road to Heaven is simple, as a narrow road that so few stay on. But if you listen to the way little Theresa places it, it is really simple. Just open your heart to Jesus as a child, come to Him and He will solace you. When you speak to Him, speak to Him thusly, as Theresa did.

Dear Jesus, all I can do is just love You,
For my riches are here in my heart;
They're not locked or chained against stealing,
They're always free to depart.
I offer this gift to You, Jesus,
Accept it with Your precious joy.
I'm Yours to hold there in Your Kingdom;
Just treat me as Your little toy!

"Yes, My child, that is how Theresa found her way into the Kingdom of Heaven. She was a gentle child and a gentle adult. Therefore, you will follow her way, which is the way of Jesus, too." - Our Lady, June 18, 1982

"My children, My little humble children, I appeal to you as your Mother, go forward on foot, knock on the doors; bring the light to your brothers and sisters. For those who have been given great grace, much is expected of them." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 26, 1976

"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
