#273 - Sin has Become a Way of Life

"For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting, in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:23

NOT AKIN TO HEAVEN’S PLAN
"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.” – Jesus, October 1, 1977

LIFE WILL HAVE NO VALUE
"You have sown in the hearts of your children corruption, greed, avarice, vanity, materialism, humanism, modernism, loss of morals; and now what will you get but murder within the home! Sin has become a way of life. Life will have no value. Charity has grown cold in the hearts of most. My children, I repeat again: Only a few will be saved in the final count.” – Our Lady, October 1, 1977

YOU CANNOT ENTER
"My child, it truly rains teardrops from Heaven. Chastity and virtue--whatever has become of them? I look upon My children and I am filled with great shame, for sin has become a way of life among you.
"If you accept this way of life filled with sin and abominations of the flesh, you cannot enter, My children, into the Kingdom of Heaven. The few short years given to mankind upon earth, My children--is it worth this to throw away eternal life for these few short years upon your earth? When you cross over the veil, My children, it is forever--forever and ever, in the hereafter. There is no return once you leave your body, no return unto the General Judgment by the Eternal Father.” – Our Lady, August 14, 1975

WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH
"There will be wars. There will be famine. It will be brother against brother and sister against sister, for sin has become a way of life for many. The wages of sin is death, death of the spirit. Do not be concerned, My children, of the death of the body, for it is the eternal soul that the Father seeks to gain." – Our Lady, September 14, 1976

SIN AND EVIL A WAY OF LIFE
"My Mother, your Mother, the Mediatrix between God and man--respect Her, listen to Her message, for She has come to you through the merciful heart of the Eternal Father to a perverse generation that is calling down upon it its own destruction. You run to and fro, your scientists run back and forth, always seeking and searching but never coming to the truth, for they have lost the knowledge of their God. They have lost the knowledge of the supernatural, using rationalization until sin and evil have become a way of life among you.
"Many children will be taken out of your world, My child, to save their souls.
"What does it gain a man if he gather all of the world's riches and suffers the loss of his soul? Your earth-years are few. Each man must pass beyond the veil and be judged. And do not fall for the delusion of there being no judgment, for, My children, you will find out too soon.” – Jesus, September 14, 1976

ABOMINATIONS ACCEPTED AS NORMAL
"Parents, you cannot pass the responsibility for the salvation of your children's souls to others. Charity grows cold in your world. Men of the cross go seeking pleasures of the flesh and have entered into worldly living and seeking the material.
     "All manner of abominations are accepted now as being normal to your way of life. Sin has become a way of life in your world.
     "As it was in the past, so it shall be that men shall be eating and drinking, and marrying and giving in marriage, and then shall come the end.
     "As it was in the past, voices go throughout your world, voices crying through the wilderness, voices and candles searching through the darkness, bringing the Message from Heaven to prepare yourselves and your families, your loved ones. And in your charity of heart, extend your knowledge of what is to be to your neighbor.” – Our Lady, February 10, 1977

A COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL FROM SANCTITY
"My children, as the short time left goes on, you will find a complete withdrawal from sanctity in your world. Man will give himself to pleasures of the flesh; sin shall be a way of life, and the good shall be persecuted. But you must remember in this persecution: persevere and you will be saved!
"Do not compromise your Faith; do not sell your soul to get to the head, for you gain nothing. Your life upon your earth is but a temporary pilgrimage. You have been placed on your earth to do honor to your God. You must live your life for your God and not for man.” – Jesus, February 10, 1977

LIVES WITHOUT DIRECTION
"My child and My children, your children are leading lives without direction or knowledge of eternal life in Heaven. Sin has become a way of life in your country and many countries of the world, little children led astray by their elders.” – Our Lady, October 6, 1992

ALLOWS HOMOSEXUALITY TO FLOURISH
"What can you expect upon your country which allows homosexuality to flourish and become the way of life which now your leaders under a banner of truthfulness and faithfulness to his God, have now torn down that banner and is going in the direction of satan.
"Laws are being made now to protect the offenders of God, the homosexuals. Mankind will have a banner ahead. There will be tribulations set upon the world before My Son returns to gather His own. Yes, in time many will be removed from the earth. However, there will be a tribulation before that moment.” – Our Lady, October 6, 1992

DARK DAYS AHEAD
"I have promised to be with you in the dark days ahead. I intend to stay with you in the dark days ahead and guide all those who will not shut Me out of their hearts. My Son will be with you, and He cries for your understanding in the dark days ahead--that you will not go the easy road and desecrate His Body.
"The dark days ahead will be a test for all. It will be like placing the metals in the fire and the separating of the sheep from the goats.
"All cannot enter, yea I say none can enter unless they repent of their sin and cast aside the evil that they have allowed to become a way of life with them. And this must be done on free will.” – Our Lady, September 7, 1972

GRACES ACCEPTED ONLY BY A FEW
"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.
     "I do not have to give you the count of hours, days, or years before the coming Chastisement. What matters is that you prepare your souls now for what lies ahead of you.” – Our Lady, March 25, 1973

FALLING INTO HELL AS NUMEROUS AS SNOWFLAKES
"Unless, My children, you retain great graces and remain close to My Son, you will fall into the darkness.
"Sin has now become a way of life in your world. The souls continue to fall into hell as numerous as the snowflakes that fall from the heavens!
"Bring your children back to the knowledge of the existence of the world of the Father and the Kingdom. They wander as lost sheep, seeking but never finding the truth. In their search, they have met the agents of hell and the plan set forth by satan. Many plagues have entered upon your country and pass unnoticed, accepted as a way of life." – Our Lady, March 25, 1973

A GREAT WAR WILL EXPLODE WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT
"My child, you must hasten and not slacken in your mission to bring the words of My Mother to the children of earth. The hourglass is emptying fast. The sands of time are running out. Time, time and a half is upon you. There will come upon your earth a great Warning. It will be a most profound warning to mankind. If this goes unheeded, you will be baptized by a ball of fire.
"Your world, the souls of the Father, are wallowing in their sin. Sin has become a way of life. You will hasten now and harken to My words. If you refuse this chance, the time given for your repatriation by the Father, there will be no recourse but to set and cleanse the world with fire.
"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.” – Jesus, December 24, 1974

FAMILIES TORN ASUNDER BY SIN
"Already the sins of mankind have set him upon the road to his own destruction--father against son, mother against daughter, brother against sister. Many nations shall disappear from the face of your earth. Is this, My children, what you want? Are you ready to face death? Are you ready to come over the veil and stand before the Eternal Father in judgment? No, I say unto you! Many of you shall never reach the portals of the Father! You shall be cast into the abyss!
     "The value upon life has been lowered to an extreme. Man shall murder without conscience--brother against sister, families torn asunder by sin!
     "We have asked for victim souls, victims to give themselves in reparation to the Father.
     "I do not have to repeat, My child, My countless warnings of the errors in your life. There are great delusions being set upon mankind by satan. Your schools, your way of life, has been steeped in sin. Turn back, My children, from your present course of destruction!” – Our Lady, March 29, 1975

NO EXCUSES
"You will take back the good Book, your Bible! You will restore it to its original meaning. You shall not take this Book and make all manner of change to suit mankind and his weak natures. No! You will change mankind to be pleasing to his God!
"You shall not find excuses and rationalize sin. No! There shall be no rationalization of sin, which has now proceeded to make sin a way of life in your country and throughout your world.
"Pastors, take heed! Hasten, harken, and listen, for I shall not warn you again.” – Jesus, December 27, 1975

YOU MUST NOT CONDONE SIN
"You cannot, you must not condone sin; you shall not rationalize sin until sin has become a way of life among you. It shall be brother against brother and sister against sister. Nation shall rise up against nation. There shall be disturbances of nature of such great magnitude that many lives shall be lost! You will be forced to your knees, and only then, in this time of great trial, will you turn back and look for the light.
"My children, do you want punishment? Can you not give up your way of life, a sinful life, to save your soul, your spirit? Shall you destroy your eternal life with Us for the few short years you all have upon your earth? When you leave your body you have full consciousness. You will understand then, only too late, what you have given up.” – Jesus, April 17, 1976

YOU LIVE IN A DELUSION
"As in the past, rejection has been the start of a fallen man. Sin has become a way of life with many. You live in a delusion if you believe that you can offend the Eternal Father and then gain eternal life in the Kingdom. No, I say to you: many are called, but few are chosen.
"Ask and you shall receive, believe and you will be given the way. But you must merit the Kingdom. Your birthright was a start, but you must make your way to the Kingdom. Others may gain these graces for you by prayer and acts of sacrifice, but you will accept or reject the key.” – Jesus, May 26, 1976

THEY NO LONGER RECOGNIZE SIN
"Awaken, pastors, from your slumber! Can you, O bishops, not spare but the little time to look into your seminaries? I say but one expression to you: they have become hell-holes of error and heresy! Clean out your seminaries, My bishops! My Son will lay upon you a heavy hand in penance! Is this what you want? Do you not have the courage of your convictions to stand by the truth of your Faith? Have you given yourselves to such foul sin, O bishops, in your personal lives that you do no longer recognize sin as being a way of life? Are you also condoning sin to become a way of life? And what will you gain, for as you live so shall you die in sin!” – Our Lady, October 2, 1976

BIRTH CONTROL
"The encyclical of Pope Paul on birth control is true and must be followed by mankind. There shall be no rationalization of sin. There shall be no excuse for the murder of the unborn. Sin has become a way of life among mankind, but Heaven does not condone murder. Heaven cannot condone sin, though the Eternal Father in His mercy is most merciful and long-suffering and forgiving. But man must repent of his sin now, while there is time.” – Our Lady, October 2, 1976

YOUR FRUITS SHALL BE DEATH
"My children, open your eyes! Open your ears and listen to Me! I have wandered about your earth crying as your Mother to listen to Me and act upon My counsel, for I have been given the direction to bring to you this direction to save you from the ultimate destruction.
"My children, your scientists say in their arrogance that they may control this disaster, and I say unto you: they are foolish in their search for knowledge, for they have been searching and never coming to the truth! Man of sin, man of insanity and destruction, you have made sin a way of life, and your fruits shall be death!” – Our Lady, May 20, 1978

KNOWLEDGE OF SIN EXTINCT
"The knowledge of sin is extinct among you now, for sin has become a way of life. Children shall rise against parents; murders shall be rampant. This is all the result of the bad fruits that you have sown, My children.” – Jesus, May 20, 1978

SIN CONDONED UNTO THE HIGHEST JUDGE IN YOUR LAND
"My children, I tell you now as your Mother that My tears fall upon you, for you do not know what you are doing. You are bringing upon you a great punishment.
"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 judges 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. Pride and arrogance is bringing down into hell mitres from My Son's House.” – Our Lady, August 14, 1981

COME OUT OF THE DARKNESS
"Satan, Lucifer, has been allowed his time to gather those who have fallen to his enticements. We give you the graces necessary for the salvation of your souls. When this period of cleansing has expired, those who have fallen will have done so of their own free will.
     "My children, you have all looked for the easy road to My Son's Kingdom. The road to Heaven is not a road of acceptance of what pampers and you find is satisfying to your worldly being. You must deny yourself of these enticements which have been created by satan. I look upon your world and have found that sin has become a way of life with you. Come out of the darkness!
     "The hope that you can offer to those who have been led astray is the knowledge that when the Father forgives, He forgets. He does not wish that one of His children be given to satan. Your world and leaders--and yes, those in My Son's House--have forgotten the value of prayer. They will not recover and ransom souls with idle talk. They must now go down on their knees and make atonement for their offenses against their God, starve their bodies of the demons that they have allowed to enter upon them.
     "Shall My Son find even a small flicker of light, of faith, in the hearts of His children when He returns? Woe unto an unrepentant generation! The numbers counted will be in the few." – Our Lady, November 20, 1972

ONLY A FLICKER OF TRUE FAITH LEFT IN YOUR WORLD
"My children, My Son has been abandoned in His House. His Body, His beautiful Body is being desecrated by many. And the evil forces of darkness in human bodies, in the form of satanism and worship of the prince of darkness at black mass--they are desecrating My Son's Body, and why? You permit this because you have lost heart! You have lost faith! There is only a flicker of true faith left in your world, My children. When it is extinguished, man, those who are living, will envy the dead.
     "Already, My children, charity of heart has grown cold. Already, My children, murder is becoming now a way of life, and who shall be, or escape, these murders within the home?
     "Man is a creature of habit. Man will repeat himself in his errors until eventually he makes sin a way of life!
     "The Eternal Father is long-suffering, My children. He does not want one to perish. And now, those who have been given that flicker of light to retain in the world of darkness must go forward now with the Message from Heaven.” – Our Lady, September 28, 1977

“DO YOU HAVE NO WORRY FOR THE CONDITION OF YOUR AFTERLIFE?”
"The aberrations and abominations being committed in the holy House of God have had no precedence from the time of Noe, and before the time of Noe. The offenses to your God call down justification for the end of your civilization. Man in your country and in the world has made sin a way of life.
"You will remove from your country the abominations in print. The desecration in print and practice to the Sacred Heart of My Son must be stopped now! Is there none who will stand forth and protect My Son from these abominations? Are there so few who care? If you do not care for My Son, do you have no worry for the condition of your after-life?
"Yes, many of you have cast aside the truth and deny the existence of the other world. How sad when you come over and receive your judgment! You will be met, those who do not repent now, by the agents of hell and taken for a life of eternal damnation in the fires, forever to be tormented by the very desires that drove you to discard life everlasting for your place in hell.” – Our Lady, September 14, 1972

WAYS THAT DESTROY YOUR IMMORTAL SOUL
"The world, your earth, must recognize and accept the warnings from Heaven. I have given to My children countless hours of earth's time, beseeching you to turn now from your evil ways, ways that offend your God and destroy your immortal soul, condemning yourself to the eternal fires of hell. There are many, My child, who come to scoff; there are many who come of the curious. However, they, too, will receive in due time the grace to recognize the truth.
"My tears fall heavily upon the young. It truly rains teardrops from Heaven. Delusion, deception, paganism--it has become a way of life for man to give himself to the pleasures of the flesh. The light has not returned to many homes. We look into the heart of man and find darkness.” – Our Lady, September 13, 1973

ALL MANNER OF SIN AND EVIL FLOODS YOUR COUNTRY
"Your world is revolving into a crucible of suffering. The children of God shall be persecuted; but persevere, My children, for your reward is great in Heaven. The time will come--without prayer and atonement of mankind, the time will come when those who are upon earth will envy those that have passed on and are dead.
    "Father against son, mother against daughter, brother against sister! To all who have even the slightest glimmer of light, of truth, they will say, 'Has insanity fallen upon mankind?'
     "Man is slowly reducing his nature to that of animal. Sin has become a way of life. Immorality, debasement, debauchery--all manner of vice and evil floods your country and the countries of earth. How long do you think the Eternal Father shall tolerate this conduct?
     "My children, My voice carries far throughout your world. I come to you as a Mediatrix between God and man. I bring you a warning from Heaven. Your country, the United States, and Canada shall be cleansed by trial.” – Our Lady, September 27, 1975

A WAY OF LIFE NOT AKIN TO THE WAY OF YOUR GOD
"I have many times cautioned you and all of My children against the use of the diabolical machine, your television. There will be no excuses accepted for having these in your presence. They are destroyers of the soul and corrupters of the mind: they take you from your moments of meditation; they take you from reading the words of the good Book, your Bible; they present to you a way of life that is not akin to the way of your God.” – Our Lady, September 27, 1975

AS IT WAS IN THE TIME OF NOE
"As it was in the time of Noe, as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrha, so shall it be upon your earth. Man shall be permitted to fall fast into the abyss. Why? Because he has hardened his heart and closed his ears to the truth. He has given himself to all manners of pleasures of the flesh. Sin has become a way of life in your country and in the countries throughout your earth.
"The children of God, the candles upon earth, My child, shall suffer much persecution from the agents of darkness.” – Jesus, December 31, 1975

RATIONALIZATION OF SIN
"I have told you in the past, and I repeat Myself, My children: sin has become a way of life. There is now rationalization of sin. The light is dim. The Holy Spirit is not accepted, and a great spirit of darkness is accepted.
"The world of man has fast plunged into darkness. I have shed tears throughout My visitations to you. How much more can I do to prevent the great catastrophe from falling upon mankind?
"I allowed you, My child, to become aware now in full measure of the evil in the teaching institutions of My Son's Church. A new theology of morals has been set among you. And what is it but a creation of satan!” – Our Lady, January 31, 1976

A FORM OF TOTAL MADNESS
"The world is passing through a great crucible of suffering. As time progresses faster and faster and the hourglass runs faster and faster, My children, you will see your world progress into a form of total madness, for sin, My child, is surely insanity. Sin has become a way of life in your country and many countries. I should say, My child, most nations throughout your world now have accepted the rule of satan. Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth! When the world and My Son's Church becomes as one, know that the end is near and at hand.” – Our Lady, June 12, 1976

MORALITY SHALL NOT BE ACCEPTED
"The Eternal Father is much distressed by mankind's actions. They must not try to control the start and expiration of a life. Abortion is murder, My children, for you bring to an untimely end a mission of a soul. The Eternal Father breathes the spirit of life into the body at the moment of conception. No man shall destroy this body until it has completed its mission as directed by the Eternal Father, for any man who destroys the mission and the body is guilty of murder. Euthanasia, untimely death, My children, man has transgressed into a form of evil far worse than in the time of Noe or Sodom. Therefore, how great shall be the punishment to mankind!
"In these days, My children, the signs of the times come fast upon you. There will be no charity of heart; selfishness shall abound. There will be little light of piety. Morality--the word shall not be accepted. Sin has become a way of life.
"I shall never, My children, grow tired; My voice shall continue to reach mankind until the great baptism of fire. O ye of wicked intent, who will seek to destroy Our voice-boxes, know that you may destroy, but others shall follow. The word of God shall go throughout your world, and all will have received fair warning, and then shall come the sword.” – Our Lady, June 12, 1976

TO ENSLAVE THE GOOD AND MAKE POWERFUL THE BAD
"We do not wish to see a division among Our children. Slowly we see a 'tug of war,' a long road for both Christian and non-Christian, the struggle for existence in the world, with the soul as the price to pay for this existence. Who are you selling your soul to? Satan?
"My children, I repeat, 666, known forever in the Book of life, the Bible, as the man of perdition, is not one man, but the forces of evil gathered like vultures to destroy the Christian and Christianity, to enslave the good and make powerful the bad, to make sin a way of life until each and every living creature of knowledgeable age must make the decision: Who is your master, man or God?
"My children, believe, just believe and you will be given the way. Even if your faith is only a flicker, don't let it go out! It must be nourished, My children, or it will die, and you will die eternally.” – Our Lady, April 9, 1977

“AS YOU ARE SOWING NOW, YOU SHALL REAP THE FURY OF AN ANGRY GOD”
"When I return, can I be assured that there will be even a flicker of faith left upon earth? The numbers saved shall be counted in the few. My children, man can be wise, but stupid, not seeing what is happening before his very eyes because he is blinded by sin!
"Sin has become a way of life in your country and all of the nations of earth! I say unto you: many hearts shall grieve, but too late will they seek to do penance! Too late will they seek to right the wrong. As you sow, you shall reap! And as you are sowing now, you shall reap the fury of an angry God.” – Jesus, May 28, 1977

SIN IS INSANITY
"Man has relinquished his knowledge, knowledge of his God, to the extent now that sin has become a way of life. We hear cries from the torn hearts of mothers coming forward to Us: Why, they say, why are we now, our hearts torn asunder? It is because, My children, sin is insanity! Sin is produced by the corrupter of mankind, the prince of darkness, satan, the despoiler of souls.
"My children, My voice has carried for years throughout your world of earth warning you of the coming of these times, the times of 666, the great forces of evil that would gather to do battle with the children of God upon earth. The battle now rages, My children. It rages in your government. It rages in the home. Your children are now victims of their elders.” – Our Lady, August 5, 1977

ULTIMATE DAMNATION OF A GENERATION
"The eyes are the mirror of the soul! And what do your children look at but filth and pornography! And who has brought this before their eyes but their parents by their permissiveness and their lack of organization! I say 'organization', because they run to and fro, buying and selling, marrying and giving in marriage, coveting the neighbor's wife and husband! All manner of abominations in the eyes of your God! Even now sin is being condoned until it becomes a way of life. And for what? For the ultimate damnation of a generation!” – Jesus, August 5, 1977

A DELUSION SET UPON THE WORLD
"Sin has become a way of life in your country and many countries throughout your world. In your insanity you will bring about your own destruction. My Son's creation, in the Father and the Holy Spirit, the good Book of life and love, the Bible is being replaced by the book of satan. Parents, you look upon this with a smile? Are you, too, insane? Do you not recognize the infiltration of your home life by satan? Your children shall turn upon you and put you to death! There will be division within the home: father against son, mother against daughter, as parents will struggle to retain the truth and the light within the homes.
"Prayer is the greatest weapon you will have now against satan, My children. I have wandered to and fro, through countless earth-years of time, crying for prayer, atonement, sacrifice! The Eternal Father has a balance that leans heavily now to the left. It is not a good sign, My children.
"We find slaughters of the innocents. We find Our own pastors condoning sin, rationalizing sin, allowing free conscience to their sheep. For what? Mass confusion. A delusion has been set upon the world.” – Our Lady, December 7, 1977

YOUR CHILDREN WALKING THE ROAD TO PERDITION
"The Warning which is yet to come upon your city and the world has been delayed. However, the murders in your city have not ceased. The murders of the unborn must cease now, or your city will fall. All who have even a small measure of participation in the slaughter of the Holy Innocents shall be burned in the abyss.
"Your country has lost the knowledge of the Father. Sin within your country is truly an abominable way of life. Your children are walking the road to perdition. Woe to those who have the responsibility of nourishing the souls and set them onto the road to perdition. Better that they had died in their mother's womb!” – Our Lady, December 29, 1973

CHILDREN TAUGHT PERVERSION
"My children, if I could unfold for you before your eyes the future, the future which is now, you would hasten to bring about a complete reversal of the ways of mankind that offend the Eternal Father and have set mankind onto a road to destruction.
"All manners of sins and abominations are being committed in the lives of mankind. These abominations have now entered fully into the House of God!
"The children are the innocent victims of their elders, being taught perversion and a way of life that has become a sinful way. Sin has become a way of life to many.” – Our Lady, October 2, 1975
