Directive from Heaven #325 - A Flicker of Faith given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#325 - A Flicker of Faith

“And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard? I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?” – St. Luke 18:7-8

ONLY A FLICKER OF TRUE FAITH LEFT
"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

THE FEW
"The world, the earth, the abode of the prince of darkness, has become a cesspool of sin reaching into each and every nation. No nation on earth now is free of this corruption. There are little pockets, sections of each nation, that is trying with diligence and prayer to restore the nation, My children. These little lights from Heaven shall keep the flicker of faith in the hearts of the few. I say 'the few,' because I cry out often, 'When I return in the final battle, shall I find even a flicker of faith burning in the hearts of man?' My pastors, shall I tearfully and with regret have to gather the faithful and true ones in one small section, and shall I have to banish others into the abyss of damnation? The final outcome for mankind lies within your domain!” – Jesus, August 19, 1978

PRAY THAT THEY MAY REKINDLE THEIR FAITH
"Your country and many countries throughout your world have already fallen. They have now been entered upon by the giant political machine that seeks to enslave the world--the octopus of evil. For the love of money, prestige, and power, many shall sell their souls to get to the head. O My children, when My Son returns, will He find even a small flicker of faith left in your hearts?...
"You will, My children, pray for your bishops and your clergy. Pray for those who have still a small flicker of faith in their hearts that they may rekindle their faith and stand up and be counted.” – Our Lady, May 29, 1976

SHALL MY SON FIND EVEN A SMALL FLICKER OF FAITH?
"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

MAN WILL BE PLUNGED INTO HEAVY DARKNESS
"So now prepare for the days ahead. Pray much, wear your sacramentals, and beware of the sunrise. Do not look up to the flash. Pray; pray much during those days. The world will go into deep darkness. Prayer will be your only recourse. The light will flicker throughout the world, and man will be plunged into heavy darkness. My Mother will be here on these sacred grounds.
"The saints cry out in Heaven for retribution against evil man. The balance has fallen heavily to the left, and man now will receive the just recompense of his evil.
"All who have remained in the light will pass through this great cataclysm without fear, knowing that it is in the plan of the Father to shake from the trees all the rotten fruit. Amen, amen, I say to you: This generation shall not pass without chastisement!" – Jesus, November 1, 1973

THE GOOD HAVE BECOME COMPLACENT
"It appears, My children, now, that My pastors have become blind, and the blind are leading the blind. Will there be even a flicker of faith left when I return upon earth? The numbers to be saved can be counted now in the few, My children. Every man, woman, and child of the age of conscience will have been tested, and many will be found wanting and unable to be saved.
"My children, you must gather with your brothers and sisters to retain the Faith even though it will become just a flicker in the darkness. Better that there are few with quality than quantity and nothingness.
"My children, My Mother has taken it upon Herself to act as a Mediatrix between God the Father and man. Her heart is torn constantly by the rejection She receives from mankind, for the good have become complacent, and the bad have become worse. And in between We find those who 'care less,' for they are neither hot nor warm, but lukewarm. And even the lukewarm shall be cast aside in the final count.” – Jesus, December 7, 1978

HOW LONG CAN I HOLD BACK THIS TERRIBLE CHASTISEMENT?
"O My children, when My Son returns upon your earth, will He find even a flicker of faith left in the hearts of mankind? 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 were 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.
"The Eternal Father has a plan. But this plan shall bring great sorrow to the hearts of many. My children, how long can I hold back this terrible chastisement from upon mankind? It truly rains teardrops from Heaven!" – Our Lady, July 14, 1979

MAY I EXPECT TO FIND EVEN A SMALL FLICKER OF FAITH?
"My children, you are as a man divided. Your spirit is darkened while your body and worldly inclinations capture you in a prison where you seek nothing but pleasures of the flesh and sensuality. You must now divest yourselves, strip yourselves of all worldly seeking or you will be lost! A house divided will fall! A Church divided will close its doors! Only a remnant will survive. Be it known that when I return, will I expect, may I expect to find even a small flicker of faith left upon earth?
"Pastors, cardinals, bishops in My House, My Church, what are you trying to rebuild, a church of man without angels to guide you? What are you trying to renew? Has not My Church, My House, withstood all of the trials of time? It will stand again, but My concern as your God is the number of souls that are being lost to Heaven in this trial! The Eternal Father does not want one sheep lost to Him! Each and every soul upon earth is precious to Him.” – Jesus, August 14, 1978

WHO WILL COME FORWARD TO FIGHT THESE EVILS?
"My children, do you not recognize that the masses of the world are converging upon your nation, the United States? With money, they are entering and bringing with them all manner of sin and perversion--immorality and homosexuality. And who will come forward to fight these evils?
"In the knowledge from the Eternal Father, I understand full well that the time will come when My Son shall return among you! But there will be doubt as to the faith left upon earth, for when He comes shall He look upon you and find even a flicker of faith still left in your hearts?
"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.” – Our Lady, June 2, 1979

BLINDNESS HAS HARDENED THE HEARTS OF MANY
"Do not discount in your daily lives the little things, My children, for they add up and make a multitude of offenses to the Father. The angels command respect to My Son. You will cover your heads when you pray.
     "The forces of evil are deep rooted in your country and the world. The Father plans a cleansing of your world, My child. It grieves Us much in Heaven to know this. The blindness has hardened the hearts of many. Will they seek the way? My Son plans to return to your earth. Will He find even a flicker of true faith left in the hearts of Our children?
     "The Father plans to chastise, My child, those He loves. I am truly the Mother of great sorrow.
     "The world is rejecting My words, My child, as they did many years ago when I made My visit to the little children in the country Portugal. Yes, My message to the world was not acted upon, and they, too, received a just chastisement by war. Wars, My child, are a punishment for mankind's sins.” – Our Lady, November 23, 1974

ALL MANNER OF NOVELTY
"The gates of hell shall not prevail against My House.
     "When I come, shall I find even a small flicker of faith burning in your hearts? You who have given yourselves to all manner of novelty, you who have sold your souls to get to the head--you honor man, and you have destroyed your souls. But sadly, not only your own destruction, but you are taking many others with you.
     "You say in your periodicals that the voice-boxes are sending out seeds of fear. It is not a fear crusade We give to you, but fact of what is to take place upon your earth.
     "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.” – Jesus, May 26, 1976

THE LIGHT OF FAITH IS FLICKERING
"The light of faith is flickering. Shall I find even a small flicker of faith left in the hearts of man when I return? My children, in your sin and insanity, it will be a day when man wishes and envies the dead. He will wish that he could be dead, and yet he will go through a crucible of suffering that he has brought upon himself. The living will truly envy the dead!
"My children, I could go through a long discourse with you, repeating over and over the pleas of My Mother. She has been truly a guardian of Her children upon earth. She has set Herself to plead your cause before Heaven. For I assure you, My children, if it were not for My Mother, you would have received a just chastisement years before this.” – Jesus, October 6, 1977

REMEMBER NOE, REMEMBER SODOM
"My children, parents of families, you must now accept the great responsibility for the salvation of your children's souls. When My Son returns, He will cry and cry again, 'Where shall I find the Faith?' Shall there be a flicker of faith left when He returns? The way you are proceeding, the world's people have become pagans, worshipers of false idols, engrossed in materialism, modernism, humanism, socialism--every manner of creation from satan.
     "Those in power seek to form for man a utopia, a perfect world; man in power even seeking to create life on his own. He has rejected his God, O man of science.
     "Man has not learned from his past, My children. He repeats over and over his errors, never learning from his past. And I cry out to you: remember Noe, remember Sodom!
     "And woe to the pastor who will not commit himself to action to stop the crimes being committed against the young, as bands of homosexuals roam the streets of the world sodomizing young children. And why? Because justice has fallen into satan's hands.” – Our Lady, May 13, 1978

ARE THERE ONE HUNDRED TRUE PRIESTS LEFT?
"All who seek reform and change will not receive a sanctification from Heaven. Reform and you will die on the vine! My Son is the vinedresser; you are all His children as branches, but you will die on the vine if you conform to the world! O My children, have you had your minds so poisoned by Lucifer that you cannot recognize right from wrong? That you will condone murder? That you no longer know the value of suffering and sacrifice?
"Pray, My children, a constant vigilance of prayer for your priests, cardinals, bishops, your clergy, for a great test, a delusion has been set amongst them to test their valor, to test their holiness, to test their fidelity to My Son's Church! Oh sorrow of sorrows from your Mother's heart, that as We now go throughout your world, can We say that there are one hundred true priests left in My Son's House? Shall He return and find even a flicker of faith left among His sheep? The shepherds don't carry the light.” – Our Lady, May 23, 1979

MAJOR ATTACK SHALL BE UPON ROME AND THE VATICAN
"My Son always asks with a sad heart: when He returns among you, shall there be even a flicker of true faith left! Shall He find even one hundred true priests left upon your earth?
"Doctrines and traditions are being cast aside in the name of modernism and humanism! The present council and the hierarchy of Rome must remove their hardness from their hearts and realize that the armies of hell, satan, Lucifer is loosed now upon earth as 666 now. His major attack shall be upon Rome and the Vatican!” – Our Lady, June 18, 1978

BALL OF REDEMPTION APPROACHES
"My Son has often repeated to the world: 'When I come shall I find even a flicker of truth of the Faith left?' Only, My children, a few will be saved in the final count. The Ball of Redemption approaches. Do not count and speculate on dates. It will come upon you suddenly!" – Our Lady, September 6, 1975

EVIL CARDINALS NEITHER SEEK SALVATION OF SOULS NOR TRUTH
"There is a plan afoot, My child, and in print to destroy confidence in the Holy Father, Pope Paul VI. It is the plan of the enemy to remove him from the Seat of Peter.
    "You must pray much for him. All of his writings are being monitored, My child. There are many enemies in his office. They neither seek the salvation of souls, nor the advancement in truth of the Church, My child. They are bringing great delusion to mankind and seeking to send many out of the houses of God throughout the world.
     "By their manner of confusion and disillusionment, many have fallen away and lost the Faith, My child. If this continues, shall there be even a flicker of Faith left when I return to your earth?
     "Since mankind refuses to mend his ways, to return to his state of sanctity in My holy Church throughout the world, there is no other recourse but to send upon mankind chastisements to return him to the fold.” – Jesus, June 5, 1975

ARROGANT AND FAITHLESS
"You leaders who carry My mark upon you as high priests in My House upon earth, you have fallen asleep. You have become, many, corrupters of souls. You have cast aside your mission as representatives of your God. You have given yourselves to the world, becoming sensual, prideful, arrogant, and faithless! When I return shall I find even a flicker of faith in your hearts?
     "The vocations are nil, and why? Because the example is rotten! Tradition has been cast aside for modernism and humanism.
     "The present leaders of My Church in the city of Rome, in your arrogance you have set up My Church without honor, without holiness! In the name of peace and brotherhood, you have whittled away the foundation. I am the foundation! You must now rebuild My Church, for a church in darkness wears a band of death about it. I say unto you; it is better that there are few with quality than quantity with nothingness.
     "The Red Hats have fallen and the Purple Hats are being misled. I say unto you, that satan has entered into the Holy City of Rome.” – Jesus, December 31, 1977

SEPARATION OF THE SHEEP FROM THE GOATS
"My children, can I bring you a message of joy when My heart is torn by the murders and the loss of respect for your elders? Children against parents, parents going about, running to and fro, marrying and giving in marriage, living adulterously, consorting with evil, with homosexuals and lesbians! What manner of life do you show for your children to make example of? Woe to the parent that scandalizes his child. It is better if that parent had died in his mother's womb! Woe to the pastors that scandalize the children! They shall burn in an eternity of hell for their deception!
"Shall My Son return among you and find even a flicker of faith left in your hearts, O pastors? Only a few shall be saved. Can you not work to be counted among the few? Will you give less honor to man and give more honor to your God, or shall you be forced upon your knees? Pastors and shepherds, the choice is yours!
"O My children, one day all will be made right, but the world shall pass through a great crucible of suffering. It will be a necessary part of the transition, My children, the separation of the sheep from the goats, the light from the darkness; the chaff and the good kernel shall be separated. The harvest will be great. But, My children, who shall gather the largest harvest, My Son or satan, His adversary?” – Our Lady, August 5, 1977

READ THE APOCALYPSE
"Do not abandon Me at the tabernacles of the world. I am your Bread of life. He who eats of Me shall have life. Without Me you will only find death, death of the body and death of the spirit, My children.
"Parents, save yourselves the anguish of heart: teach your children now. Give them a firm foundation of their Faith. Many young people are taking their lives because they have no faith. And the way the world progresses, My children, when I return to earth shall I find even a flicker of the true faith left?
"You will all read the writings of John, the Revelations, your Apocalypse, and learn by it. You will not be left without knowledge of your times. You are passing through the latter days, the days when many saints shall come out of the great conflagration.” – Jesus, May 27, 1978

SIMPLE CONTEXT OF FAITH IS BEING CAST ASIDE
“When the world and My Son's Church becomes as one, know that the end is near and at hand.
     "Do not be concerned, My children, for the eventual victory is with the forces from Heaven. Satan shall claim any woman, man, or child who has fallen from grace. Satan will claim them to do his work to destroy souls. He will enter, he has entered upon governments, in all walks of life. He now has control of your medias, your entertainment, your schools, and your Justice Department. Justice? Justice is in blindness. The Faith has grown weak. When My Son returns, shall He find even a small flicker of faith left?
     "The simple context of Faith is being cast aside and replaced by all manner of novelty and implementation. You have received a firm foundation. There is no need to change. Heaven, the Eternal Father knows no change, for He is, He was, and He always will be. There is no change in Heaven.
     "My children, whatever shall become of you! You dress in nakedness; you come into My Son's House in nakedness. Immorality is widespread throughout your world. Read, My children, and learn: When a country has reached a point of no return, it has always started with the fall of morals!” – Our Lady, June 12, 1976

FAITH MUST BE NOURISHED OR IT WILL DIE
"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.
"All of the sufferings you must endure are but short and small crosses, My children, in comparison to everlasting life over the veil. Accept these crosses, carry them for My Son, and He will acknowledge you before the Eternal Father. He will await you with a crown for your perseverance and faith.” – Our Lady, April 9, 1977
