#477 – A Church in Darkness, Part 1

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men.” – St. Matthew 5:13

“UNLESS YOU HEED MY WORDS…”
"Unless you heed My words, all who guide My Church--unless you erase the evidence of error in My Son's House, you will be destroyed!
"I repeat: a House in darkness wears a band of death about it. A Church in darkness wears a band of death about it.” – Our Lady, September 28, 1971

PRAY FOR YOUR BISHOPS
"You will continue, My children, to pray for your bishops. It is through misdirection and loss of grace, because of too few prayers, that they now have set themselves into the darkness.
"A Church in darkness wears a band of death about it. Remember that, My pastors. A Church in darkness shall close its doors! But My Church shall not be extinct or destroyed, for the church of man cannot transcend the spirit." – Jesus, April 17, 1976

THE SEMINARIES
"My voice has carried throughout your world for many earth-years. We do not see a measurable change in the ways of man, ways that offend the Eternal Father. We see My Son's Church slowly falling. The foundation is solid, but the walls are cracking. A Church in darkness wears a band of death about it! All that is rotten shall fall!
     "My children, the seminaries in the United States shall close, unless they start now to clean their homes!
     "The Eternal Father shall not permit young souls to be destroyed by evil teachers, by those who have fallen into error because of loss of the grace from Heaven, by those who, for worldly gain, choose to sell their souls!
     "What manner of evil is in these seminaries, My children, that they promote fallacies and heresy, permissive behavior, a morality that now is based on advanced science and theology! The Eternal Father gave the mode, the manner for man to save his soul--simple, clear, and unadulterated with the evil that now has set My Son's Church in darkness!” – Our Lady, January 31, 1976

FALLACY, ERRORS, AND LIES
"All manner of heretics and unbelievers seek to enter My House, My Church upon earth. You must not compromise the Faith, for you will not win souls by lowering the standards. I gave you through the prophets the rule, the way, for I am the way, the truth, and the light!
     "O you hypocrites in My House, you who teach fallacy, errors, and lies, whatever shall become of you? Shall I abandon you to your sin? If I abandon you, you will gain a reprobate sense, and you shall be destroyed in your folly.
     "You have been given many warnings in the past, and you are receiving a final warning to return My Church to its former glory. Experimentation must stop. Humanism and modernism is a creation of satan in My House! A delusion has been set upon you. Your heads are out in the clouds, fogged. You are like ducks floating fast downstream to the brink, the edge. You are playing follow the leader. It is a game of destruction. Turn back now, while there is time!
     "A Church in darkness wears a band of death about it. And the light shall not enter until it is cleansed. A Church in darkness, My children, wears a band of death about it. Satan is doing great battle among the hierarchy in My Church. Satan knows his time will be short, and he is gathering his own.” – Jesus, March 18, 1978

PRAY MUCH FOR YOUR CLERGY
"Learn a simple lesson, My child. You will meet with rejection by many, for by rejecting My message they can place it as far from mind as possible. When one does not wish to accept a truth they try to disprove and sully this truth.
"The knowledge has been given to mankind that a great Chastisement will be sent soon upon your world. It is in this manner that the Eternal Father will separate the sheep from the goats.
"You must pray much for your clergy. A House, a Church in darkness, My children, will shut its doors, for a Church in darkness wears a band of death about it.” – Our Lady, July 25, 1975

FAIR WARNING
"My children, I must give you all fair warning now that if you conform with all of the new mods, and all of the modes of the world, in the name of humanism and modernism leading to satanism, I say unto you that you will conform and die on the vine! My Son is the vinedresser, the Eternal Father is the vine, and you were all placed as branches on this vine to grow and flower, and bring forth good fruit, but you have chosen to poison the waters, and you are bringing forth bad fruit! Because of this the Eternal Father will seek to shake the vine, and all that is rotten will fall!
"A Church in darkness wears a band of death about it.
"My children, parents, you have a great measure of responsibility now to teach your children in your homes. They must be given a firm foundation of Faith, but the true Faith, My children, not faith that has been distorted until man has brought in now doctrines of demons.” – Our Lady, July 25, 1977

LACKING IN TRUE SPIRIT OF FAITH
"A great Warning shall be set upon mankind and then the ultimate Chastisement, for many will die in the great flame of the Ball of Redemption.
     "It grieves My heart much to watch the manner in which man has rejected My Mother upon earth. I have sent Her to you as your Mother, as My Mother, the Queen of Heaven and earth, to direct you in your battle against the forces of evil. Without Her guidance you will not stay on the road to Heaven.
     "My words must reach those who are leaders in My houses upon earth--churches. We watch and find many of Our leaders lacking in true spirit of faith. Many are misleading Our sheep.
      "The ways of modernism and humanism are the ways of satan! You have been warned in the past, and you are being warned now. You are leading your lives in error. A great delusion has been set upon mankind to test Our sheep. All that is rotten will fall to satan!
      "A House in darkness, a Church in darkness wears a band of death about it.” – Jesus, June 18, 1975

RED FLAG OVER CONVENTS AND CHURCHES
"Know that a great Warning will be sent upon mankind. All who remain in the light of grace will have no fear. They will pass through this great Warning without suffering. I cannot promise you that none will die in this great Warning, My child, for there will be death. Prepare now, for this is just a small measure, My children, of what you will have soon.
"This scene, this diabolical quandary, My child, is spreading throughout your world. Blood shall flow in the streets of all nations. The red flag shall rise over many convents and the houses of My Son. All that is rotten will fall! A House in darkness wears a band of death about it. A Church in darkness, My child, wears a band of death about it. Pray for your clergy, for many mitres will fall into hell.
"Yes, My child, many mitres will fall into hell because too few pray for them. Their graces must also be merited, My child. Man finds his destiny with his own free will.” – Our Lady, April 5, 1975

“YOU CANNOT SEPARATE TRADITION FROM YOUR FAITH”
"I beg you, pastors in My Son's House, to wash your garments in suffering and prayer, for you have sullied them in your quest for worldly power and riches. You must divest yourself of all self-seeking, and return My Son's House and gather the sheep into one fold, but not gather them at the expense of Tradition.
"You cannot separate Tradition from your Faith, My children. The past leaders of My Son's Church, His House, the popes, had given you counsel to strengthen this House. You cannot cast this counsel aside for modernistic tendencies and modes. A Church in darkness wears a band of death about it!” – Our Lady, August 19, 1978

THE WAY OF THE CROSS
"If you, My child, find your road filled with thorns, know that you are truly traveling the way of the cross. You cannot expect any less a lot than My Son received when He brought the message to the world. For if you were bringing a message known to the world you would be accepted. But since you bring a message of the spirit, those not of the spirit will reject you, My child. Pray for them, for the power of prayer is great.
"Pray much for your rulers, your government, your schools, and My Son's houses throughout the world. A House, a Church in darkness wears a band of death about it. Many will close their doors when they succumb to the darkness. Pray, My child, a constant vigilance of prayer. Prayer, atonement, and sacrifice, My voice cries, for the time grows short. The sands are running out, My child." – Our Lady, November 23, 1974

HEAVEN GAINED BY MERIT
"Heaven is gained by merit. It is a narrow road, and too few stay upon it, for the diversions and the pleasures of life lure them away. The road is narrow, but all who remain gain eternal life in the Kingdom of your God. All who fall away and don't return must spend endless years in purgatory. And others give themselves willfully, and I say 'willfully,' for no man is lost to satan, to Lucifer, unless he goes to him of his own free will. Today, in your generation, souls are falling into hell as numerous as the snowflakes that fall from the heavens!
"Pray for your bishops; pray for your cardinals. And My children, you must keep a constant vigilance of prayer going until the Seat of Peter is filled. Woe to the man who rejects the counsel of My Mother! A Church in darkness wears a band of death about it." – Jesus, August 14, 1978

ETERNAL FATHER WAITS FOR PENANCE
"Pray a constant vigilance of prayer in your country and all of the countries of the earth, for many shall die in the great flame of the Ball of Redemption! Is this what you want? The peoples of the world will make their own decision upon this.
"The Eternal Father is most merciful, and He waits with patience for your penance and your atonement. The way has been given to you. You will stay and remain true, faithful and true! You will not go about seeking novelty and innovations upon My Church! A Church in darkness wears a band of death about it.” – Jesus, June 2, 1979

“MY SON IS THE FOUNDATION”
"The world, My child, and Our representatives, the clergy, must heed My warnings. A House, a Church in darkness wears a band of death about it. My Son is the foundation. The walls have cracked. My children, will you not give your love and heart to My Son? Will you not solace Him in His anguish of heart? Many have profaned His name. Weep for Him; pray with Him, My children. Join the legions of angels in the salvation of souls." – Our Lady, December 24, 1974

DESECRATION OF HOST
“Hasten, harken, and listen to the voice of what is to be!
     "I come to you--I, Michael, guardian of the Faith, guardian of the Kingdom of light--to bring you a message of warning from the eternal Kingdom.
     "You have desecrated the Host! You have defiled the Spirit! You, as a generation, call upon yourself a punishment far worse than any that has been seen by mankind in the past, or shall ever be seen in the future. Your world is fast heading into a baptism of fire!
     "A House in darkness, a Church in darkness wears a band of death about it.
     "The balance for your destruction is heavily to the left." – St. Michael, August 5, 1975

A HEAVY HAND OF PUNISHMENT
"The lessons of your Faith have been given to you for all time without change. My Son is forever, for God is, God was, and God always will be. My Son is your God in the Father and the Holy Ghost. Do not cast aside your knowledge in faith of the Trinity. Do not cast aside your knowledge in faith of My Son's divinity. Do not recrucify My Son upon your earth and in His Church, His House. You call upon you a heavy hand of punishment from the Eternal Father!
"All manner of evil is being condoned with permissiveness by the pastors in My Son's House. All manner of abominations are being committed in My Son's House. Clean out the errors; restore the light within My Son's House, for a Church in darkness wears a band of death about it.” – Our Lady, December 24, 1976

MANY MARRIAGES ARE NOT SACRED
"Your world, your countries have given themselves to debasement and debauchery. There is eating and drinking, and marrying, and giving into marriage. And many marriages are not sacred. Many marriages are frowned upon by your God.
     "O My children, you cannot stray from the light and reach happiness of mind or spirit. When a man accepts blindness of heart, he will go searching for the light, but without the special grace from Heaven he will go farther into the darkness. Seek; ask, and you shall be given the way.
     "There is a great spirit of darkness covering the Eternal City of Rome. I, your Mother, as Mediatrix between God and man, implore you now to turn back, for you are creating your own destruction. A Church in darkness wears a band of death about it!
     "My children, pastors in My Son's House, you must not compromise your Faith! What manner of church are you creating? Who has yielded My Son into the hands of the enemies of God?” – Our Lady, December 28, 1976

THE TIME OF TRIAL FOR MANKIND
"Much, My children, you must accept in faith. Scientists of your world and your psychologists and psychiatrists rationalize everything, until sin is accepted as a way of life--scientists who are ever searching but never coming to the truth! The supernatural cannot be rejected, because if you reject the supernatural, you do not have the armor to fight it. It is a crafty plan of satan to make himself unknown, so that he may go among you, and destroying like a ravenous wolf.
"My children, through countless visitations to your earth, I have prepared you for My Son. I have been a Mediatrix between God and man at the direction of the Eternal Father in the Trinity. I open My mantle above you, My children; and know now that I will protect you in the light. All who believe shall be given the way. But, My children, I repeat the words of My Son: This, My child, is what will be: in darkness will they seek the way? This, My child, is what will be: in darkness, will they seek the way?
"Spiritual darkness covers your world now. The test is here, My children. It is the time of trial for mankind, the separation of the sheep from the goats.” – Our Lady, December 7, 1977

LISTENING TO HERETICS AND LIARS
"The Eternal Father created man in His image. He set rules for the welfare of mankind and his progress to return triumphantly to Heaven. You are all but pilgrims upon earth. Your time is short.
"Many have sold their souls to get to the head! Many have nourished their bodies but have starved their souls! And how? Because you have cast aside the truth! You go forward with itching ears, listening to heretics and liars! Doctrines of demons abound upon earth, and these doctrines of demons have entered into My Church. I say unto you as your God: I shall place a heavy hand upon you.
"A Church in darkness wears a band of death about it. Your world shall go through a crucible of suffering. It will be the time of trial for all, the separation of the sheep from the goats, the wheat from the chaff. All that is rotten shall fall. For I repeat again: It is better that there be a few with quality than a quantity with nothingness!” – Jesus, February 1, 1978

VICTORY IS WITH HEAVEN
"There will be gnashing of teeth and much woe set upon the earth by 666, satan and his consorts. Protect your families, your children. Eat of the Bread of life. Do not allow My Church to close. I repeat: a Church in darkness wears a band of death about it. But you can save My Church by your prayers and your efforts.
"My children, though these days can be called desperate, you are living in the times wished to be lived in by many saints; for they knew the challenge it was to their Faith, and they knew the value of living in these times for the redemption of souls for all Heaven.” – Jesus, May 3, 1978

“ALL HEAVEN CRIES FOR CONVERSION”
"The clergy upon earth, in all denominations, cannot give themselves over for experimentation, change with errors. For many souls shall be lost to Heaven. Clergy in My Son's House in Rome, under the direction of the Seat of Peter, you must recognize that the world is closing in upon you, and you will die on the vine if you conform with it.
"Convert the unbeliever. All Heaven cries for conversion. Do not go forward with the delusion any longer that you will bring souls into My Son's House, His Church, by change. You will find you will lose souls, for a Church in darkness wears a band of death about it.” – Our Lady, July 25, 1978

READ YOUR APOCALYPSE
"My children, when My Mother warned you of the arrival of Lucifer upon earth, She prepared you for his advance upon mankind and his plan. You will review Her counsel and act upon it. And I say unto you all: prayer, penance, and atonement for all! For the time given in the Book of life, the Bible, is at hand. Read your Apocalypse, the words of Saint John written in script. Learn by it. Ask for guidance in the Holy Spirit to give you knowledge in reading.
"Do not try to set up a new church of man upon earth, for a church in darkness wears a band of death about it.” – Jesus, August 5, 1978

DICTATORSHIP
"It is known through history that once a country has given itself over to all manner of paganism and sin, it is not long before that country falls into a system of dictatorship, bringing great sorrow, even murder to the masses.
"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

GREAT DISTRESS AMONG NATIONS
"I know of the great distress among nations today. As your time on earth, My children, becomes shorter, you will find that there will be many tragedies set among you. These tragedies will come through sickness of the body and sickness of the soul. We can say that there are many bodies now walking throughout your earth with dead souls, for the Spirit, the light, has left them and their bodies now are shrouded in darkness.
"O My children, as I repeat Myself to you over and over again, I have gone constantly as your Mother walking upon your earth, guiding you out of the darkness. How often have I cried out to you to prepare your household, to safeguard your children, and to maintain the true knowledge of your Faith and My Son's Church in your homes and in the hearts of the young.” – Our Lady, June 9, 1979
