Directive from Heaven - No. #449 - The Greatest Trials given at to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#449 - The Greatest Trials

"For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be. And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened." - St. Matthew 24:21-22

A PLAN TO ENSLAVE THE U.S.
"Why have you hardened your hearts and closed your ears to My counsel? You are heading for your own destruction. Within your city now there are the agents of hell.
"There is a plan now being formulated that will enslave the people of your country. Open your eyes, My children, and see your world as it truly is. A country that turns from the Father will descend to the father of hell and the liar of all liars.
"He is now gathering souls as fast as the snowflakes are falling from your heavens. You will remain indifferent to the truth until you suffer the greatest of trials, trials that could have been avoided if you had but listened to Us!" - Jesus, April 10, 1972

TRULY THE WAY OF THE CROSS
"The greatest of trials, My child, will be given to those who have been chosen for special missions upon your earth. It is truly the way of the cross. My Mother and I are united with the symbol of My cross before mankind." - Jesus, September 14, 1976

GREATEST GLORY OF ALL
"I give you the greatest of hope in your world of darkness that the victory shall be with Heaven. Know that the greatest trials suffered are but a small forfeiture for the great glory of being victorious over the adversaries loosed upon your earth. They come as creatures of night, but they must possess the bodies of humans. Understand this in the supernatural, My children: no man, woman, or child of reasoning is free from the attacks of satan.
"Do not discard your sacramentals as being outdated or outmoded. Know the insidious plan of satan to remove your armor from you so that you will not have the necessary protection for your spirit, your soul, My children. The world will look upon you and call you with laughter and mockery, fanatics. The world will point their fingers at you and say that you are deranged. But know, My children, that I, too, knew the mockery of My own. But know that the greatest glory of all is a living martyrdom for your God, for great will be your glory in Heaven." - Jesus, September 7, 1976

THOSE ON THE NARROW ROAD
"The greatest trials are given, My children, to those who are on the narrow road to the Kingdom. You must all learn the value of suffering. The Eternal Father allows this for reason. If you will study the past lives of your saints, My children, you will understand why I say that penance and suffering are truly the way of the cross.
"Your world is in deep spiritual darkness. The Message from Heaven is reaching all of the far corners of your earth. It is in the will of mankind, allowed by the Eternal Father, for all to hear the message and to make their own choice. In the days ahead, the days that will lead to the great crucible of suffering, there will be a gradual separation of the sheep from the goats." - Our Lady, October 2, 1976

PREPARE FOR GREAT TRIALS AHEAD
"Prepare, My children, for the great trials that are ahead. All who remain of well spirit are not to accept My counsel with fear. But woe to those who do not listen, and harden their hearts and deafen their ears to My counsel! I have come to earth because I am your Mother. And as a Mother I cannot help but fear what will happen to My children without My help. My Son is being recrucified by the children He already sacrificed Himself for in the past." - Our Lady, December 24, 1972

SET PACE FOR HIS OWN DESTRUCTION
"Continue with your prayers, My child. The days ahead will make known to you the necessity for these prayers. Great trials are to enter upon your country and the world. Man has made the road and set the pace for his own destruction." - Our Lady, February 1, 1973

"YOU WILL BE PLANET STRUCK"
"My child and My children, I have a message of great urgency for the world. I have passed throughout your world to and fro, as truly a Mother of Sorrow, trying to warn you, begging with you to do penance and make atonement to the Eternal Father for all of the offenses committed by mankind. And now, My children, the great trials are upon you.
"As I counseled you in the past, there will be sent to mankind a war of such great magnitude that it will set the world aflame. And also you will be planet struck." - Our Lady, September 14, 1979

"IN JUSTICE AND FOR PENANCE"
"Hasten, harken, and listen to the words of warning to a generation that has become perverse, degraded--and abominations committed to offend your God. In justice and for penance, there will be visited upon your earth great trials--droughts, famine, rotting crops, hurricanes, floods, all manner of earth tremors and disturbances of nature, increasing in volume, spreading throughout your world. There will be eruptions and manifestations that shall bring terror to the hearts of many, in places that have never seen nor heard of such volume of sound and fierce eruptions of the earth.
"Be ye warned that houses will blow in the wind, and skin will dry up and blow off the bones as if it had never been. Eyes will see and still not believe, so hardened are the hearts of mankind.
"The warnings, the numerous warnings that have been given to mankind have gone by unnoticed, and man continues upon his road to his own destruction. Sins of the flesh have multiplied, and many souls are falling fast into the abyss, their eternal reward being damnation in hell." - St. Michael, August 21, 1976

"UNSYMPATHETIC TO THE CRIES OF MY SHEEP"
"I have asked the cardinals and bishops in My Church to spend more time in prayer and meditation and sacrifice of the senses to obtain the graces necessary for more conversions to My Church, My House upon earth. But My pleas and the counsel of My Mother have fallen upon ears that, because of pride and arrogance, have become hard in their hearts, callous in their ways, unsympathetic to the cries of My sheep. O My pastors, what great trials shall be set upon you, for I cry now from Heaven to you that a Church in darkness wears a band of death about it!" - Jesus, May 26, 1979

GENERATION HAS HARDENED ITS HEART
"Veronica, My child, you will continue your mission. Many prayers are needed. Already the plan for the separation of the goats from the sheep has started. Great trials will be placed upon a generation that has hardened its heart and turned a deaf ear to its God." - Jesus, September 13, 1973

TRAVELING TO YOUR OWN DESTRUCTION
"O My children, My heart is torn that you will not turn about and get down to your knees. Throughout your world now there will be great trials set upon mankind: upheavals of nature, discord in governments, nations at war, fire raining from the sky! My children, you ask for peace, but you are traveling to your own destruction as you build up armaments to kill your brothers and maim!
"My child and My children, as it was in the time of Sodom and Gomorrha, so it is in your age and your generation, man is becoming debased and defiled! We look upon all manner of degradation and abominations being committed by man. I repeat to you, as was given in old and is true today, that man shall not consort and lie with man as with womankind! This is an abomination in the eyes of the Eternal Father!" - Our Lady, July 15, 1977

"THE FATHER IS ALL-MERCIFUL"
"The Father is all-merciful, wishing none to be lost. However, many chastisements will be sent upon mankind. This will be tempered with a great, majestic celestial manifestation from the Father. And after this, My child, should man not recognize the signs of his times, there will be sent upon him the Ball of Redemption. The few with faith have held back this great Warning and Chastisement. However, the scale must be balanced, as time is running out, My child. Work with great haste; persevere in your mission. Accept the will of the Father.
"Know that in His providence He is all-knowing and seeks for the redemption of mankind. The great Chastisement will be a baptism of fire upon mankind. Prayer, atonement, and sacrifice--My voice has cried, has pleaded, has begged for mankind to turn back now from his path or receive a just punishment from the Father.
"Your country, America, the United States--I had promised to protect and spread My mantle of love upon you. Even now many plot and plan to dethrone My Son and to cast Me aside. How foolish of mankind to reject the graces the Father gives with abundance! Gather them, My children, I cry to you. Gather these graces now. Treasure them and bring them to your children, for great trials are approaching mankind. Your country, for its many abominations and sins of immorality, shall not be free from chastisement." - Our Lady, May 22, 1974

"MY SON IS AT THE HELM"
"The greatest knowledge, My child, is the eventual victory and reign of My Son upon earth. There will be great trials. Many will fall by the wayside, unable to carry their crosses. Many will choose the easy road. But keep a steady course, for My Son is at the helm. Know, My child, that the bark of Peter flounders, but My Son is at the helm. Those who are asleep will be awakened. Pray for those in darkness that they may come into the light, My child." - Our Lady, September 7, 1974

MANY TRIALS AHEAD FOR YOUR COUNTRY
"All messages given from My hallowed grounds must reach the world now. Your time now is through the New Year of your earth time. There are many trials ahead for your country now. Unless you retire from the evil inducements of the world outside, and devote your time to living within your spirit, and fortify your life with prayer and sacrifice, you will not remain under My mantle of protection.
"I am your Mother of Grace. I am the Mediatrix of all graces, and My graces and My Son's graces are to be given freely to all those who will believe. Believe, My children, just believe, and you will be given the way." - Our Lady, December 24, 1971

"YOU MUST HAVE PERSEVERANCE"
"The Ball of Redemption comes closer, and many will die in its flame. Then you will no longer call Us a myth; then you will no longer laugh in derision.
     "You will not hide the objects of your God that bring these to the minds of your children. You will not lead your children astray, to be dragged into the path of satan. No! Every parent, every leader, every provincial, every kingdom will make an account to his God.
     "Those of well spirit have nothing to fear. But yea, I say to you, the destruction of the soul has far direr consequences than any body destruction you suffer on your earth.
     "Many graces will be given from this hallowed land of My Shrine. Your country will go into great darkness, but We will carry the light. Many will light their candles with Me and carry the light. Perseverance, My children! Confidence! We will rescue you; We will not abandon you. You must have perseverance in these trials." - Our Lady, November 20, 1971

"MY SON IS THE FOUNDATION"
"My child and My children, I repeat Myself over and over for reason. With each message and counsel I give, I pray with confidence in My heart that another poor soul will listen to My words of warning.
     "There are many evils throughout your world now that have been created by man in his arrogance and pride. Technology and science of man have promoted diabolical machines for the destruction of mankind.
    "I have counseled you in the past, My children, that unless you make amends, make atonement, do penance, and sacrifice for the sins of mankind, you will be subjected to many trials and chastisements. The good will suffer with the bad. But know, My children, that those who suffer are victim souls, victims to the merciful heart of the Eternal Father for the sins of mankind.
     "My children, there are many errors now being promoted throughout your world in your schools, and in your governments, and even in My Son's Church, His House upon earth. These errors are given because man has given himself to satan. Little by little he is chopping away at the foundation, but the foundation shall not give, because My Son is the foundation of His Church. The walls may crack and the rodents may enter; however, the foundation will not be removed." - Our Lady, July 25, 1977

THE END OF YOUR ERA
"My Son's House is being subverted from within. The forces of evil are gathering. There are many groups of secret who make plans to enter upon the Seat of Peter. They have laid the groundwork for this entrance in well-planned secret. But they do not know that they are only allowed this for ultimate reversal to good. Man, of his free will, will bring many trials upon himself. This will be allowed by the Father.
"All who have received the light will not enter upon the wide road. All who have received the light will pray and do penance for those who are upon the wide road. The forces of satan are now bringing deep darkness into My Son's House and the world. Your times are now far worse than the time of Noe or Sodom. Recognize, My children, how close you are to the end of your era." - Our Lady, September 28, 1972

A TEST PERMITTED BY HEAVEN
Veronica - "Our Lady, I don't know if I should repeat this."
Our Lady says She gives me this choice. And I don't mind repeating it because there may be others who it would help. And Our Lady smiles. So I will repeat it. Our Lady knows that I asked why the work has become so difficult for me, and why so many trials. But Our Lady said this is the great test. That as we gather more souls, satan will send more agents to attack us.
Our Lady - "The God, the Father, is all goodness and love. There are many secrets of Heaven and earth, and in some of these secrets is the knowledge of why human man is subject to many illnesses and trials. We do not visit these trials upon Our children; We permit satan to test them with these trials.
"If you recognize why you suffer, if you recognize that the Father has a plan for every moment of your life, and if you are truly with Him, you will accept with joy these trials and know the benefit, the abundance of graces that you can gain, if not for yourself, but for others. All suffering will then become a joy." - December 30, 1972

HOW MANY ARE LISTENING?
"My child, We in Heaven have great sorrow because of the many trials that shall be set upon mankind. Blindness and hardness of heart have called upon mankind a chastisement. Many warnings have been given in the past, and many warnings are being given now. And how many are listening to these warnings?" - Our Lady, August 14, 1976

"YOUR EARTH WILL BE CLEANSED WITH GREAT SUFFERING"
"My children, My Mother has directed you well. Before the trials are finished upon your earth, before I return to you in triumph with all the personages of Heaven, your earth will be cleansed with great suffering. Many martyrs shall come out of the conflagration." - Jesus, August 14, 1976

WILL TURN MANY BACK TO THE LIGHT
"We expect now, at this time, at this late date, My child, that all who follow the road to Heaven will divest themselves, remove all worldliness from their presence and cast aside for good example to all, the worldly clothing that has been forced upon them by satan. Their example must be one of holiness. You must avoid all occasions of sin.
"My children, many trials will be sent to you in the coming days. These trials will turn many back to the light." - Our Lady, July 25, 1975

ROAD ONE OF TRIAL AND SUFFERING
"Many trials and a great tribulation will be given to mankind to cleanse your world, the earth, of the evil that man has allowed to come upon himself. Each and every soul shall stand in judgment for his commissions and omissions upon earth. Many souls are falling fast into hell. And do not remove from among you the knowledge and the truth of the existence of hell. It is a place of eternal damnation and banishment. Purgatory is a great sense of loss and suffering of banishment, but eased by the knowledge of an end that will lead to Heaven.
"The road, My children, to the eternal Kingdom is one of trial and suffering, and I say this because now these days of trial are upon you, and all who are coming upon the road to the eternal Kingdom in Heaven will reach the doors through suffering." - Jesus, August 5, 1976

SACRAMENTALS
"You will all receive the blessing of the Father. Any sacramentals will be your armor in the dark days ahead. All objects of God--cards, beads of prayer, and all of sacred nature--will receive the blessing from the Father. They will safeguard you in many trials in the days ahead." - Jesus, July 1, 1973

BECAUSE YOU DO NOT PRAY ENOUGH
"My child, the example given by Theresa and all who have given their lives in vocations, this example must be returned to My Son's Church. Because you do not pray enough, My children, because you have given yourselves to sins of the flesh, many wars have descended upon you, many trials of earthquakes and floods and great heat have come upon you. My children, there is a most terrible calamity approaching mankind, and I beg you, as your Mother, to avoid this, to get down now upon your knees and do penance, atonement, and sacrifice to the Eternal Father Who has already been offended too much." - Our Lady, October 2, 1976
