Directive from Heaven #643 - Road to Heaven, Part 1 given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#643 - Road to Heaven, Part 1

"And whosoever doth not carry his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple." - St. Luke 14: 27

"YOU MUST DENY YOURSELF"
"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." - Our Lady, November 20, 1972

"DO NOT SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE ETERNAL"
"Your years upon your earth are very short, My children. Do not sacrifice your life eternal; do not sacrifice your entrance into the Kingdom of Paradise, the Eternal Father and the saints, the angels, and all who have received the light and treasured this light on the road to Heaven.
"Those who have entered the Kingdom, My children, have never faltered, have gone forward step by step, gathering the graces necessary for the preservation of their souls and the souls of their children and their loved ones.
"In all charity I ask you, My children, to remember your brothers and sisters throughout your world. Many shall not remain on the road to Heaven because there is no one who will pray for them. The power of prayer is great, My children." - Our Lady, September 28, 1976

ROAD TO HEAVEN IS VERY SIMPLE
"My sister, Veronica, I know that you are much surprised to see me this evening, as I have not made many appearances on your Shrine grounds. However, due to the urgency of the times, and what is happening upon the earth, I come this evening to bring to you a word of good news that the road to Heaven is very simple. All you have to do is be like a young child in your love of Jesus, never questioning, never casting aside, but loving Him fully with your heart.
"My life upon earth was not always easy, my sister, just as all of my sisters and brothers upon earth realize this as time goes on. However, I do say I am disquieted of spirit by what I see taking place in many of the convents today. My life was always a life of solitude and prayer; therefore, I never lost contact with the Holy Spirit. Now my sisters in the convents are enjoying--as they think they are enjoying--all of the modern diversions that take them away from meditation and prayer." - St. Theresa, October 2, 1989

LOVE EVEN THOSE WHO PERSECUTE YOU
"My child, I implore you to love your brothers, even those that will persecute you. Love them as My Son loved those who even crucified Him. That is the only way you can reach eternity in Heaven.
    "My child and My children, I, too, have watched--the Eternal Father made it known that I must see what is going on in the world today. And I, as your Mother, have given My decision to the Eternal Father to go forward throughout the world, appearing in numerous places now, to awaken the world to the reality of everlasting life.
    "How many have sold their souls to satan to get to the head for a temporary time upon earth? My children, do you not realize that you are only a short distance from paradise? Your years upon earth are so few. Isn't it futile, My children, to soil your souls and avoid following the road to Heaven?
    "All those who think that life is forever upon earth are making a serious error, and they are defeating the reasons they were placed upon earth. There is no way other than straight through to Heaven, hell, or purgatory. There isn't a soul upon earth that can say, 'I will be here forever.' For the only place that exists, My children, forever is Heaven, hell, or purgatory. When My Son returns to earth--when the persecution to the enlightened grows stronger, when all the world is fighting, that My Son shall deem it necessary to return." - Our Lady, October 2, 1989

ROAD TO HEAVEN IS A NARROW ONE
"The world, when it is renewed and restored, shall remember the battle fought by those who have worn the colors from Heaven. The armies from Heaven led by My Mother shall vanquish the head of the serpent.
"It is a test for all mankind; the good and the evil shall test all mankind as metals in the fire. The sheep shall be separated from the goats in the days ahead, My child. The road to Heaven is a narrow one, and it is a constant struggle with the cross to remain on it.
"Accept all trial and suffering, knowing that the road in this way will lead directly to the Kingdom of Heaven." - Jesus, November 20, 1979

"EXPECT TO CARRY YOUR CROSS AS HE DID"
"The road to Heaven, My children, is a narrow one; too few stay upon it. For they are often carried away with the cares of the world, and the pleasures of the materialistic pursuits, and their gathering of money and prestige and power. For what? For the few short years allotted to each human upon earth. I ask you to ask yourself: is it worth it to lose your soul? Many will sell their souls to get to the head.
"As I have wandered through countless earth-years warning My children, I say to you as your Mother: have you prepared your household well? Protect your children. Do not abandon the sacramentals. Soon you all will understand the great treasures of comfort, safety, and spiritual holiness that have been given to you in these sacramentals.
"Do not become discouraged, My children, as you continue upon this Mission for Heaven. You will be a minority upon earth, subject to trial and derision from those who will be lost. As My Son was tormented, rejected, and abused physically, you must expect to carry your cross as He did." - Our Lady, November 20, 1979

"WITHOUT HER GUIDANCE…"
"You must turn away from the ways of the world, the ways of materialism, My children, for you are going fast into darkness of the spirit. You must reject the light set forth by satan to ensnare you and capture your eternal soul. You must now retire from your world, earth, and do much penance in the time left to you.
    "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." - Jesus, June 18, 1975

WILL ALWAYS BE FILLED WITH THORNS
"My child, We give you great trial in your lifetime. Do not question the ways of the Eternal Father in your anguish, My child. The road to Heaven will always be filled with thorns, for your pilgrimage upon your earth is a pilgrimage of sorrow, trial, requiring perseverance, hope, and faith.
"My child, We ask for victim souls, victims to do penance through sacrifice for the Eternal Father, Who watches a generation that has become perverse." - Our Lady, September 14, 1976

"YOU MUST MERIT IT WITH DISCIPLINE"
"My children, the numbers who will be saved are in the few. Every man, woman, and child of conscionable age will have made his and her choice before the battle is over. No soul shall be claimed by satan unless he has paved his road to satan.
"I have asked you in the past to take yourselves out of your world that has been given to satan. You may be in the world, but you must not join it in its corruption and loss of Faith. If you wish to attain the glories and joys of the eternal Kingdom of Heaven, you must merit it with discipline and by following the rules.
"The road to Heaven is a narrow road, filled with many thorns. You must carry your cross across this road. The road to Heaven is not an easy road for many; but I assure you, the results will be magnificent, for you will receive a crown that far surpasses any thorns you have received upon earth." - Our Lady, September 13, 1977

"I CANNOT PROMISE YOU AN EASY ROAD"
"My children, I cannot promise you an easy road. The road to Heaven is not easy; it is filled with thorns. But I assure you, My children, if you will pick up your cross and carry it, at the end of this road you will find roses and beauty far beyond anything the human mind could ever comprehend. The battle, My children, will be won when you say in your trial, My Jesus, my confidence! My Jesus, my confidence!" - Our Lady, November 1, 1977

WHICH SIDE SHALL YOU JOIN?
"You must not abandon My Son. You must go to the tabernacles of the world and eat of His Body and His Blood, the Bread of life.
    "My children, you must protest the offenses being committed against the divinity of My Son. Prayer is a great weapon, but unless you act and pray too, My children, you proceed nowhere. You become lax, indifferent; apathy sets in. Each and every individual of conscionable age shall be tested.
    "Now, My child, you will listen well and repeat.
    "The practice of sorcery and witchcraft has become widespread in your country and many nations upon earth. There is no goodness in witchcraft, for it is directed by satan, the master of deceit.
    "My children, there are only two forces now upon earth: good and evil, light and darkness. You are now being tested, and you must now make your choice. Which side shall you join--the road that leads to eternal damnation, the road of darkness of spirit, or will you walk the road to Heaven, the road filled with light?" - Our Lady, November 1, 1977

BEAUTIES BEYOND ALL HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
"My children, We have in Heaven beauties beyond all human knowledge. We have in Heaven the ultimate joy and the ultimate expectation of anything man could conceive in his human mind. Are you going to cast this all aside for a few short years upon earth? Is this worth casting aside for? Think, My children, before it is too late. Many of you who hear My words will not be ready. I say, not be ready! Unless you protect yourselves by a constant vigilance of prayer, you will not be ready when you are called unexpectedly. Many shall be removed from the earth very soon, and many will not be ready.
    "My child and My children, you cannot, and I shall not burden your minds with the manner in which Heaven deems it necessary to allow the world to continue.
    "You understand, My child and My children, that no one, no one will fall into hell, unless it is of his own free will. I assure you, also, that no one will go to hell unless they lead themselves there, and have preferred the pleasures of this world, your earth, and not counting their blessings on the road to Heaven, but following all the pleasures that lead to damnation in this world, your earth.
    "Remember, My children, love is the outstanding word being used in your world today, but so few know the true meaning of love. So few have practiced the true meaning of love, for much of this in your world, My children, is based on self-love." - Jesus, October 1, 1983

"MAN HAS LEFT THE ROAD TO HEAVEN"
"Man has left the road to Heaven. He has made his way from the straight path onto the dark one. The responsibility for the fall of souls will be balanced heavily upon those responsible for the destruction of young souls. Parents, why do you go down the road of satan? Has My Son suffered in vain?
"My children, I am going throughout the world now, gathering the straying sheep. I have asked you to light your candles with Me. My Mother's heart is torn. I see the many souls being ruined by Lucifer, falling fast as, as the snowflakes, into the abyss.
"If I would be permitted by the Father to open your eyes to what lies ahead, you would spend all your time on your knees." - Our Lady, June 8, 1972

NONE ENTER EXCEPT BY THE CROSS
"You see, My child, all suffering shall be used for the salvation of souls. None enter into the Kingdom except by the way of the cross. The road to Heaven is filled with thorns, but at the end of the road, My child, you will receive a very large bouquet of roses." - Our Lady, April 5, 1975

OBSTACLES
"I have asked, I have pleaded, I have begged as your Mother that Our clergy do not fall prey to all modes of humanism and modernism. I have cried countless tears upon you, My children, as I watched, as I called out to you as your Mother, as you hardened your hearts and closed your ears to My pleadings. As you rejected Me at La Salette, so have you rejected Me now in America and many parts of the world.
"I have come to you as a Mediatrix between God and man. I have come to you because the Eternal Father in the Trinity has deemed that I come forward; because I, too, know the frailties of human nature, the obstacles on your road to Heaven, the temptations, and the sins of the flesh that are sending many now fast into hell.
"My children, the United States of America shall suffer a great calamity that will claim many lives. My heart is torn because I know now that many will not be saved." - Our Lady, July 14, 1979

REMAIN IN STATE OF PURITY AND PERSEVERANCE
"My child and My children, I have come to you under many names in the past, but I want you to acknowledge Me as the Mother of Grace. Because that is why I come to you now, My children: to give you the graces necessary to remain upon earth in a state of purity and perseverance, and knowledgeable to the truth that will lead you and keep you on the narrow road to Heaven.
"My child and My children, many miraculous photographs have been given to you to try to make you understand how futile it is to go about seeking to buy happiness in a world that is materialistic. You cannot buy happiness, for that is one thing I instilled in mankind: the knowledge that the spirit within him is to be guarded and nourished with the fruits of true life--the knowledge of the Bible, past and present and future.
"My child and My children, you may ask your priests for knowledge of the stories coming from the old, elderly fathers of My Son's Church, but can they tell you the truth now that their seminaries have become polluted with errors? Mothers cry to Me; I hear all their prayers, prayers to Heaven to save their children. And where can they find the knowledge of the truth to teach them? That will depend now upon an earnest mother and father, and discipline. Children are like soft flowers that must be nourished so that their stalks will grow; and their faces, the purity of their faces, shall rise toward Heaven and be nourished with the fruits of life." - Our Lady, September 14, 1985

NO MAN IS A MASTER OF HIS OWN LIFE
"You cannot judge your brothers and sisters, for you do not know their hearts. However, should you see them going on the wrong path and fast falling from the narrow road to Heaven, you will do your utmost to convince them of their folly. For in the end, it is they who will suffer, because no man knows the day or the hour in which he will depart from the earth. No man can say he is a master of his own life, and therefore, will not die.
"In the Book of love and life, My children, every name has been counted, and every name has a date. Yes, My child and My children, the Eternal Father has looked far into the future, and the book is already made up--those who are to be saved, the sheep; those who are to be lost, the goats.
"My child and My children, I wish that you all keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout the world, your country, the United States, and Canada. I warn you again that Russia plans an attack upon the United States." - Our Lady, September 14, 1985

"LOVE IS THE WAY"
"I was not a learned person or a scholar upon earth, but all I had and all I needed was this little Book. And I also treasured the Imitation of Christ.
"Accept the life given you upon earth by the Father, and use every moment of it to please the Father and to sanctify your soul. Love is the way, the road to Heaven. If the world can only recover the true meaning of love, for love is truly the essence, the odeur of divinity." - St. Theresa, December 31, 1972
