Directive from Heaven #237 - An Ungrateful Generation given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#237 - An Ungrateful Generation

"For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul: For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” – St. Mark 8:36-38

FORCED TO YOUR KNEES
"If the words of My Mother go unheeded to this ungrateful generation, I assure you it will not be long before you will be forced to your knees! Hasten, harken, and listen, for the warnings given to you are urgent! The sands of time are running fast out, and you will not have another chance to turn your hourglass.
"Prayer, atonement, and sacrifice! Wear your sacramentals, and do not waste the balance of your time in idle, worldly pursuits of the flesh. Many souls have fallen into the abyss because they did not seek to practice the truth. And what is the truth, you may ask Me? It has been given to you, though man has chosen at this time to sully it.” – Jesus, February 10, 1975

APOSTASY, ARROGANCE, HERESY
"Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth! They shall reap the fruits of their labor. The crops shall rot! Mankind shall feel a sword upon his world.
"The Eternal Father has endured your apostasy, your arrogance, your heresy much too long! As an errant and ungrateful generation given to sin and abominations of the flesh, you shall be forced to your knees by trial.” – St. Michael, July 15, 1975

HEART TORN ASUNDER
"Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth! How many warnings shall go out to mankind before he acknowledges his sin and does penance for his God, a God most merciful and just, Whose heart is torn asunder by an ungrateful generation which has given itself to all manner of depravity and defilement of his soul!” – St. Michael, December 27, 1975

UNWORTHY GENERATION
"A great War is progressing to explode upon your world when you will expect it the least. Your world cries peace, peace, love, when there is no peace; love, when the meaning of love is no longer known.
            "My Mother has shed many tears upon an ungrateful generation, an unworthy generation that has taken Her sacrifice and cast it back into Her face! Woe to those who share a responsibility in desecrating and offending the heart of My Mother! Measure for measure shall he receive his just reward!
            "Mercy and charity is not practiced among you. Awaken now from your blindness! My clergy, you are swimming fast down a current that will take you over into the abyss. Return to My teachings of truth. They are simple in knowledge, but they are truth. Scatter My flock and I shall gather you and cast you fast headlong into the abyss!
            "Shepherds, return to your rule! Shall you stand before Me and say your teaching has been true in My sight? I repeat, I shall gather you and spit you out into the abyss! No rank shall be left, no excuse for the desecration and destruction of those entrusted into your care will be accepted. You are receiving from My Mother a warning, one of the final warnings being given to mankind. You will act upon it NOW!" – Jesus, December 24, 1974

GREAT SORROW
"My child and My children, needless to say I shall not engage in a long discourse on the present state of your world and mankind. My Mother has made it full known: the course that man has taken will lead him onto a road to his own destruction.
"When the Eternal Father placed mankind upon earth, He expected a great world of joy to Him. But instead man that He has created has brought great sorrow time and again to His merciful heart. In His divinity, no human could understand the ways of His accepting with a compassionate heart, these stabs that are given to His heart by an ungrateful generation.
"As it was in the past so it is this day upon earth, that man has now regressed back to an age of paganism, idolatry, and insanity from sin. Man has given himself over to all manner of abominations. And sad to say, this way of life that man proceeds on is not the way given from Heaven for the salvation of mankind, but a darkness along the way that enshrouds the whole world now. Many souls are fast heading into the abyss, lost forever in eternity of damnation. Remember, My children, that no man, woman, or child of conscionable age shall fall into hell unless he goes there of his own free God-given will!” – Jesus, June 9, 1979

PUNISHMENT DUE
"Make haste and listen well to the words of the high Queen of Heaven. Her direction will be followed, or you will receive the punishment due an ungrateful generation." – St. Michael, February 10, 1973

“YOU WILL RECEIVE THE SWORD”
"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.
"I cannot caution you enough to heed the messages of My Mother given to you in the past. Do not take Her words idly. My Mother has come as a Mediatrix by permission of the Father to intercede for an extension of mercy to you. However, the hearts of Heaven are being torn by numberless thorns inflicted by an ungrateful generation. How long do you think We will allow the murders and the abominations to continue?
"This warning has been given in countless places through many voices chosen as messengers by the Father.” – Jesus, May 30, 1974

ARE YOU READY?
"The world and My Church will not unite as one, for there is nothing in common with flesh and the devil!
            "My child, satan does great battle upon earth. The grace will be given to you to withstand the holocaust that will be sent upon mankind.
            "My hand grows heavy. How long shall I extend it and not descend it upon you? My Mother has gone throughout your world crying tears, tears that fall upon a degenerate and ungrateful generation. Come out of your darkness now, for there will be sent upon you a great Warning of great magnitude. There will be sent upon you a Chastisement. No flesh shall escape. Are you ready to accept the reward from your foul deeds?
            "My shepherds, your sheep are straying. They are dying. They are starving for truth.
            "Return to a life of dedication. Return to a life of perseverance and trial, and not give yourselves to the enemies of your God. Return to a life of true charity and prayer. You cannot bargain with the Father in Heaven. You may bargain with satan and lose. You will bargain with satan and lose.” – Jesus, May 17, 1975

MISLEADING THE SHEEP
"Do you not recognize, My children, that satan will seek to distort and deny My words? Open your ears! Pray for the light! As shepherds, why do you choose to cast Me aside when I have been sent to you by the Father?
            "The offenses to the divinity of My Son are great!
            "I accept the torments which are heaped upon Me by an ungrateful generation. You will not cast aside the knowledge of the supernatural. You will not cast aside the truth of Faith and set up a faith based on the immorality of man. No! You will retain the Faith and Tradition as given to you, not making changes that cater to the basic carnal nature of mankind. You are misleading Our sheep. Pray! Get down on your knees now and pray! You will gain nothing by socializing. You have idolized money and become money changers in My Son's houses!
            "My Son shall fling you out of the temples again. Moneychangers in the houses of God! Destroyers of the Truth! Turn back now, for your judgment will be far greater than those given to an ordinary man, for you as a priest of God have been chosen by the Father to represent My Son. And as such, your judgment for misleading and denying the basic truth of your Faith will be far greater!” – Our Lady, October 6, 1974

BLINDNESS, CORRUPTION, DECEIT
“Will you ask a severe punishment upon you for your offenses against your God? Blindness, corruption, deceit! Sins more foul than since the time of Noe! Whatever shall become of you?
"My Mother has made many visits to your earth. She pleads your cause well with the Father. However, the time for your atonement has been shortened. You will all save yourselves now in the merciful drops of My Blood shed for you through generations, shed now for an ungrateful generation that has chosen to give himself to satan." – Jesus, June 8, 1973

HARDENED HEARTS
"It is not My intention to fill your heart with fear at the sight of what is to come upon this ungrateful generation. I have wandered throughout the world, shedding many tears. My pleas for penance and atonement have fallen on many hardened hearts and deafened ears. Now all I can do is prepare you for the days ahead.
            "You will keep all sacramentals with you as I have directed in the past. Satan will seek to remove this protection from you.
            "Many of Our dedicated have fallen in line with the false maxims of modernism. Our hearts are truly saddened at the blindness that has entered into the hearts of many in the House of God.
            "The symptoms of the weakness of the human soul are in abundance about you. The graces dispensed from Heaven have been accepted only by the few. Many have preferred to accept sin as a way of life.” – Our Lady, March 25, 1973

NO MIDDLE ROAD
"You must restore within the House of God a strict discipline of life and procedure. Return to sacrifice and self-denial. You must starve your bodies of the demons which you have allowed to enter upon you. You cannot partake of the full pleasures of earth, all created for soul-destruction, and enter also into the Kingdom. There is no middle road. The left follows into the darkness, and the straight road is in the light.
"O My children, how weary I grow as I wander throughout your world shedding many tears, tears of great sorrow for what will befall your ungrateful generation! The Father plans a great Chastisement for earth's children.
"O My children, will you not listen to My pleas? It is for you that I cry. It is for your return that I beg. What more can We do but give you Our hearts? See, My child, the heart so torn asunder by the sins of ungrateful man." – Our Lady, June 16, 1973

FEW HAVE LISTENED
"I have traveled many times about your world. Few have listened, preferring the ways of the world to the ways of the Kingdom.
"Your world is progressing farther into the darkness. Unless there is a complete reversal in man's ways now, he cannot escape the Chastisement planned by the Father. The Father's mercy is great, but He looks down now upon an ungrateful generation, a generation that has forsaken His Son. The sacrifice of God for His children is repeated anew by the wanton actions of man now on earth. Man has chosen to give himself to satan.
"You will all go through a great crucible of suffering. In the plan of the Father, the sheep shall be separated from the goats. I am truly the Mother of Sorrows.” – Our Lady, April 21, 1973

MORAL CORRUPTION
"My children, there will be set upon your earth great trial. The sickle shall be sent among you. The forces of evil are gathering, planning with all scientific knowledge the destruction of the world's populace.
"O My children, take the blindness from your hearts and your eyes. Recognize the signs of your times and the path you have set yourselves upon.
"There is only one way, My children, when you turn from your God: it is down. Moral corruption, casting aside the Commandments of your God, building and worshipping idols of man, paganism in My House, leaders that have given themselves to satan--shall I continue to list for you all of the abominations committed by mankind until I cry out that you have become a degenerate generation and you call upon yourselves a baptism of fire?” – Jesus, December 7, 1976

TRIBULATIONS HAVE STARTED
"Remember always as I repeat to you that God is, God was, God always will be. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow is forever. The tribulations of the world have started, and the course of mankind continues on the road to great trial because your generation has given itself over to all manner of sins of the flesh, that will condemn many to hell.
            "There is only one way to restore your world to peace, and that is by following the way of My cross. You cannot change My words to bring them in line with mankind's own egotistical ways. You will find that humanism and modernism shall bring much suffering upon mankind.
            "My Mother has directed you well through countless appearances upon earth, and how many have listened to Her counsel? And how many have acted upon it? I say unto you now: You have become a degenerate generation that asks for a just chastisement from the Eternal Father.
            "Do not be affrighted, My children of the light. Know that My words are for those who have fallen into the web of Lucifer and his agents.” – Jesus, October 2, 1980

YOU MUST MAKE AMENDS
"I say unto you, a degenerate generation, that you shall reap the reward of your immorality, your licentious conduct, and your leading astray the young souls in your care!
"I, Michael, send my voice to you for the Mediatrix between God and man--your Mother, the Queen of Heaven. You must make amends to your God, for you have offended Him much!" – St. Michael, June 18, 1975

“DO NOT TAKE MY WORDS IDLY”
"I have told you, My children, in many places, through countless earth-years, of a coming great Chastisement to mankind. Many there are who have cast aside these words, for the faith has grown weak in the hearts of many. Do not take My words idly. I have been sent by the Father through His merciful love of a degenerate generation to save you. Every chance, every means of salvation has been offered to you. The time is running out.
"There will be a great War. In this war many lives shall be lost, both young and old. None shall escape the fury of this War.” – Our Lady, July 15, 1974

EAGLE HAS BEEN PLUCKED
"My Mother has set Herself to hold off a just chastisement upon mankind for many years, but your time has run out. Her warnings have gone by unaccepted, unnoticed, and rejected, even by My clergy! Her tears fall upon your generation. The saints in Heaven, sacrificed upon earth, have cried out now for reprisal upon this degenerate generation. 'How long, O Lord,' do they cry, 'shall You permit this perverse generation to exist?' And I say unto you now: your time is running out!
"Do not speculate on the dates, but be prepared. My Mother has spent countless years among you, preparing you. If you are not ready now, then you will never be ready! And it will come upon you at a time that you least expect. You have been given your armor, instructed well by My Mother. Therefore, you will follow the way of the Lord! You will listen to the counsel of My Mother or you will fall!
"Your nation, the United States of America, has been now--the proud eagle has been plucked by satan; and as such shall be cleansed by trial and suffering and war. Humanism and modernism have set you on the road to satanism. Your country and many countries of the world now have adopted the worship of false idols.” – Jesus, June 18, 1980

MANKIND REPEATS HIS MISTAKES
"My child and My children, I speak to you with a heavy heart knowing that the Eternal Father has found it necessary to chastise mankind.
"For countless earth-years My Mother has come to earth with a message of warning to Her children. Needless to say, this warning made no impression upon many. It falls upon human nature, the oddity of human nature being that mankind can repeat his mistakes because he has not suffered in his generation the trial that fell upon a distant past degenerate generation. I assure you, My children, that the Chastisement that shall be set upon mankind in your generation shall be far worse than mankind has ever experienced since the beginning of creation! In the conflagration there will be little flesh left.
"As I made known to you through countless seers upon earth, the time is upon mankind now, the testing, the separation of My sheep from the goats.” – Jesus, May 13, 1978

DESTRUCTION AND DEATH
"My children, I have asked you through My Mother to pray, and keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your nation and the world.
"Unless you make a complete reversal of your ways that have offended the Eternal Father and all Heaven much, you will find destruction and death upon your country. This will come to you in two major ways: by war, and then from the celestial heavens you will find descending upon your earth the Ball of Redemption.
"The sins of mankind cry out for immediate punishment. The saints stand and wonder at the mercy of the Eternal Father for a degenerate generation.” – Jesus, December 24, 1979

“I HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE”
"I hold, as your God, I hold you responsible, O wearers of the Red Hats and followers of the Purple Hats, who are following like ducks upon water downstream--and I say downstream--to the rapids that shall engulf you until there is no turning back, and you shall receive the Ball of Redemption. You shall receive a baptism of fire, and many shall die in the great flame of the Ball of Redemption.
"The balance for your reprieve has been held in the past by the few. My Mother and many personages from Heaven have entered upon your world to retain that balance. My Mother begs for clemency and mercy for a degenerate generation.
"No, it is not the plan of the Eternal Father to destroy your earth again completely, but there shall be a cleansing by trial--a chastisement upon mankind such as never has been experienced, and after the climax, never shall it happen again. Only a few will be saved, My children.” – Jesus, November 1, 1976

“YOU TRY MY PATIENCE”
"The greatest chastisement shall be given to those who have accepted the honor to represent Me in My House, and have sold their vocation, as they have become arrogant, prideful, and self-seeking.
"Turn about and maintain a true renewal of your spirit, O pastors. I have looked upon you and found you wanting. You will cleanse My House of the heretics, the errors, the fallacies, and the liars that you have allowed to enter upon it. You will cleanse it and set My House straight, or I shall come among you and send you out of My House into the fires of eternal damnation.
"Your God is long-suffering and merciful, but you, as a degenerate generation, you try My patience! But for the pleading of your Mother, My Mother, the Mediatrix from God to man, you would have already received your just chastisement. But for the few prayers that rise as a balance to Heaven, you would already see death and destruction in your country and many of the countries throughout your world.” – Jesus, December 24, 1976

“I WARNED YOU FROM FATIMA”
"My children, long ago I warned you from Fatima, I warned you through many voice-boxes throughout your world that the time will come when you will embark upon a stormy sea, and it shall be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, and satan shall set himself in your midst. He shall maneuver and pit you and play you against each other in his plan to destroy My Son's House. Recognize what is happening now upon your earth. I say unto you, O pastors in My Son's House: if you do not listen, if you continue to proceed upon your present course, you ask for the heavy hand of My Son to come upon you. Your world shall be cleansed with a baptism of fire. My children, have you not learned anything from your past? As in the time of Noe, with the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha, have you not learned that a degenerate generation calls upon itself a heavy hand of chastisement from the Eternal Father?” – Our Lady, November 20, 1976

CLEANSE CHURCH
"You must now cleanse yourselves of the contamination that you have allowed to enter upon My Church. Right the wrong; restore My House. The Eternal Father is most merciful in His dealings with a degenerate generation. He is long-suffering and merciful, but the time is fast running out. I say this not to place fear in your hearts, but to give you a statement of fact. You must all work, pray, and set by an example the road ahead. Light this road by your example, so that others may be given the light." – Jesus, August 5, 1976

NOW YOU SHALL BE CHASTISED
"My child, I shall not extend the Message from Heaven. All that has to be said to mankind has been repeated over and over by My Mother, Who has come to earth as a Mediatrix between God and man, to be rejected by many. Therefore, your world shall receive a heavy penance. My children, you do not listen. Many have cast aside, without acting upon the Message from Heaven, and now you shall be chastised.
"Pray, My children, a constant vigilance of prayer. Reread the words of My Mother. For She has come many times to earth in the time of great urgency to warn you; and, as in the past, only few act upon Her counsel, and now it is almost too late for mankind. The Eternal Father has been most patient with you. You have become a degenerate generation, calling down for a great penance upon mankind.” – Jesus, September 28, 1979

RESPECT FOR HUMAN LIFE
"I have tried to warn the world, My children, that the respect for human life will diminish, for when you take one step down into the abyss--toward the abyss, My children, sin becomes a way of life and respect for human life and dignity is forgotten.
"Words mean nothing, My child. It is the fruits that give the true meaning to the words. Many are engaging in mass slaughter of the souls and the bodies of young children being given by the Father for a reason. They are placed on earth to bring glory to the Father in Heaven. However, they are being sent back to the Father with untimely deaths! Know now that you shall not escape the punishment due an ungrateful, degenerate generation. Man of science ever searching, but never finding the truth!
"It is a proven fact, My child, that when you take one step and go, it is like a habit. Murder will become a way of life. Charity of heart, charity to one's fellow man will diminish. All manner of iniquity will abound upon earth.” – Our Lady, September 28, 1974
