Directive from Heaven #728 - Sinful Attachments - given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#728 - Sinful Attachments

"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham, and we have never been slaves to any man: how sayest thou: you shall be free? Jesus answered them: Amen, amen I say unto you: that whosoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin." - St. John 8: 32-34

REMAIN FREE FROM ALL WORLDLY ATTACHMENTS
"My child, as it was in the days of Noe, you have your scoffers, you have those who will persecute Our voice-boxes. The good must suffer, for the thorns will be long, and they will become abundant in the days ahead. But always remember, My children: you must pass through these thorns to gather the roses. And I say unto you as your Mother, I send upon you a full garden of roses in graces.
"You will go forward in the days ahead, My child and My children, with great perseverance. Remain free from all worldly attachments or environments that are detrimental to the mission and your souls." - Our Lady, December 7, 1978

STRIP YOURSELF OF ALL WORLDLY VANITY AND PRIDE
"My child, I have a humble lesson to give to your world. If you are to follow My Son and stay on the road that leads to the Kingdom, you must divest yourself of all desire for worldly embellishments. You must desire to strip your being of all worldly vanity and pride. You owe nothing, My children, to any human being but to bring him the example of a living Christ. The love of riches has destroyed many--the destruction of friend to friend, and brother to brother, and sister to sister for the love of money and riches; but saddest of all, the destruction of the soul." - Our Lady, December 24, 1972

DESTROYERS OF THE SOUL
"Take yourselves away from those who are destroyers of the soul, for you have nothing in common with them. What is there between a commensurate between the light and the darkness? Do you have, you who have gained the knowledge and retained your faith and remained pure of spirit, what do you have in common with the forces of evil? Avoid all occasions of sin. Do not be partakers of their sin, for birds of a feather shall surely flock together." - Our Lady, August 5, 1976

THEY LOVE THEIR SIN
“You will find in the days ahead, My child, that they will set many against you, for it is to silence you as they have many other voice-boxes from Heaven in the past. There are many who are in darkness that cannot stand the light intruding upon their world. They enjoy and love their sin so much that they choose to cast aside the knowledge of the veil and the eternal Kingdom of the Father in Heaven." - Our Lady, June 15, 1974

ALWAYS BE AWARE
"My children upon earth, you must always be aware of temptation and the possibility of falling into the web of evil spun by satan to ensnare you.” - Jesus, June 4, 1977

FLEE ALL OCCASIONS OF SIN
"Flee from all evil! Only prayer can bring back those who carry the mark of the beast upon them. You will not enter into the dens of iniquity! You must flee from all occasions of sin. For as the eagles will gather where the bodies lie, so will agents of the prince of darkness gather among their own." - Our Lady, August 5, 1974

SIN THROUGH SENSE OF SIGHT A MAJOR OBSTACLE IN THE DAYS AHEAD
"O My children, the reward is great in Heaven for all who will persevere in the days ahead. Remember, be prudent and say, My Jesus, my confidence! when you are tempted. Temptation is always about you. Satan works through the material, and satan will come into your mind to influence your will.
"My children, it will become evident to you all why My Mother counseled you in the past to avoid all occasions of sin. And sin through the senses of sight is one of the major obstacles confronting mankind in the days ahead. Man has given himself over to pleasures of the flesh far beyond what is safe for the salvation of his soul. Fornication and all manners of desecration to your bodies, the temple of your spirit, the temple of your God, the light in you, this light has been extinguished by sin.
"Every man, woman and child of the age of reason knows right from wrong, for he has been given an inborn conscience." - Jesus, June 18, 1977

REMOVE ALL WORLDLINESS
"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.
    "You must pray much for the leaders of your country and the countries of the world. As I had told you countless times, many will disappear from the face of the earth." - Our Lady, July 25, 1975

"ALL OCCASIONS OF SIN MUST BE SHUNNED"
"I have asked you, My children, to read your Book of life, your Bibles. Study them carefully. They will be, and give you a source of great courage in the future, the very near future. Every home must now have the Book of life.
"You will all keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your country and the world.
"In your country, My children, there are leaders, leaders of evil. I could run down and give you account of the names used; but, My children, it would lead you into great confusion, so great is the evil. Therefore, suffice it to say, My children, that you must not close your eyes. You must observe and learn and avoid all sources of evil. All occasions of sin must be shunned." - Our Lady, February 10, 1978

SEEKING POWER, MONEY, PLEASURE
"Many upon your earth now have chosen to worship the adversary, satan.
    "I have told you, counseled you in the past, that sin is insanity. Your world and its people are involved—they walk as on a treadmill, seeking power and money and material goods and pleasure. And they go round and about, never stopping as the world plunges faster to the abyss.
    "I have asked you in the past to remain away from even the simplest forms of entertainment outside of your home because Lucifer will give you one thousand truths if he can bring in one error to you. Do not be deceived by your medias, because they are under the control now of the agents of hell.
    "I ask you not to single out or judge another. But I ask you and counsel you as your Mother to avoid the occasions of sin.
    "Pray for your brothers and sisters. Pray that you do not become victim to the governing powers of your world now. Lucifer, the prince of darkness, walks your earth, loosed from hell. He is gathering fast his armies. If you align yourself with him, you will be forever damned. He will buy your favors, for many now are selling their souls to get to the head." - Our Lady, August 4, 1979

OCCULT SEEKING IS DEATH
"Now you have the human mind trying to probe into the realm of the supernatural. How, My child and My children, can they enter into the supernatural without becoming ensnared? No, My children, you must avoid the occasions of sin. And I say this for one reason: many of the young are accepting a religion so dangerous to their human natures and capabilities of understanding that the parents must alert their children to remain far from witchcraft and all manner of supernatural probings. The eventual attachment and association in occult-seeking is death: death of the soul and death of the body. Why do I stress this to you, My children? You will understand shortly.
"O My children, My heart is pierced with sorrow. In My Mother's pride of Her children, I had offered My suffering for your redemption to the Eternal Father. I have gathered the sacrifices of many victim souls as repatriation for your sins before the Eternal Father." - Our Lady, December 24, 1979

MODERN HABITS
"My garments--what are they doing to my garments?" [It was the change she saw in the habits of nuns that upset her. Nuns wearing these new habits are most disapproved of in Heaven; they are described as "half-hearted vocations," with vanity and much worldly attachment.] - St. Theresa, August 14, 1970

DIVEST YOURSELF OF ALL WORLDLY ATTACHMENTS
"Yes, My child, you will find in the days ahead that as you fight the tide, the rising tide of evil, you will go forward three steps, falling back one; forward four steps, falling back two. But then your pace will be fast. Perseverance and prayer.
"Once you divest yourself, My child, of all worldly attachments, you will find that your mission has fewer thorns. However, do not feel affronted, My child. A soul set on the road to sanctification must also make her way forward, step by step, in the will of the Father." - Our Lady, May 22, 1974

VERONICA CHOSEN AS AN INSTRUMENT OF GOD
"I wish this, My child, to be given in print, though I know that you would prefer it not be given to the world. But, My child, you are no longer an identity, but an instrument of God, a transmitter of the message to mankind. Therefore, all words I choose for you to speak out will be given to mankind.
"Once, My child, you have learned that it will be necessary to completely retire from your human attachments, you will find that all suffering will be useful for the salvation of other souls.
"We are not displeased, My child, at your reaction to Our tests. But We are pleased very much, My child, by the fact that you have come through triumphant, as We knew you would. Do you, My child, not know that you must be purified, too?" - Our Lady, March 18, 1973

MATERIAL THINGS SHALL NOT MAKE YOU WORTHY OF HEAVEN
"My child and My children, I speak to you and I come to you as your Mother, a Mother of love. If only you could be as one with Me and My Son. How grateful We are for those who have chosen to dedicate their lives and give up all of the attachments that bore into the human spirit and destroy it. Material things, My children, shall not be judged as making you worthy to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven, I repeat, is a narrow road and so few today are finding it, because they have hardened their hearts and closed their ears to all that We say to them, that We cry for them in Heaven." - Our Lady, September 7, 1985

LEARN A SIMPLE LESSON
"If We could approach you in all truth, My children, We would ask you to remove your worldly entrapments and cover yourselves with ashes and sackcloth. Remove all signs of worldliness from your exterior, and you will place upon yourselves the garments of sanctity.
"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." - Our Lady, July 25, 1975

ERROR
"Do not fall into error, the error and fallacy that all will be saved without effort and without merit. It is a fallacy! There is Heaven, there is hell, and there is a place of purging. You must be clean, cleansed of all sin. Your garments--many shall wash in blood to cleanse them, but pray that it is the Blood of the Lamb." - Jesus, December 24, 1975

A WAY OF LIFE
"Sin has now become a way of life in your country! Mothers, what will happen to your children outside your home? Protect your children for there is no salvation outside your home, the anchor of a good home dedicated to Christ the King!" - Our Lady, November 21, 1970

TOO BUSY
"Your children are being raised to know no sin! They conduct themselves as pagans worshipping false idols, giving themselves to mind destructive drugs, seeking pleasures that are abominations to the human flesh.
"Parents, are you blind? Do you not see your children, what is happening to them? What have you done to save their souls? You are too busy in your worldly lives!" - Our Lady, October 2, 1975

OCCASIONS OF SIN
"My children, it will become evident to you all why My Mother counseled you in the past to avoid all occasions of sin. And sin through the senses of sight is one of the major obstacles confronting mankind in the days ahead. Man has given himself over to pleasures of the flesh far beyond what is safe for the salvation of his soul. Fornication and all manners of desecration to your bodies, the temple of your spirit, the temple of your God, the light in you, this light has been extinguished by sin." - Jesus, June 18, 1977

GRIEVOUS OFFENSE
"Permissiveness shall not be accepted by your God. Sin is sin; there is no compromise for sin. Mortal sin is a grievous offense to the Eternal Father." - Jesus, November 21, 1977

IMMODESTY A SIN
"You must cover yourselves with good example. Immodesty is a sin, My child. All bodies that are exposed will burn. The great flame of the Ball of Redemption will burn all exposed bodies. Cover yourselves well, My children, and you will be covered with the armor of God. Impurity of heart is promoted by lewd actions, My children. You not only sin, but you force others onto the road to destruction by your actions. Mothers and daughters, women of the world, you must be an example of purity and piety to your children. It is only by your actions as parents that your children will learn. Many parents will cry bitter tears of anguish when they see their children lost to them forever." - Our Lady, November 23, 1974

A GREATER BARRIER
"Know now, that intellectual pride is a far greater barrier against sanctity, will hinder you from the path of sanctity faster, My children, than outright licentiousness and evil. Intellectual pride is the downfall of many. Pride, My children, is a sin." - Our Lady, March 29, 1975

THE SIN OF OMISSION CONDEMNS MANY
"The sin of omission shall condemn many to hell, be they layman or hierarchy. I repeat: not the sin of commission, but the sin of omission will commit many to hell. Among them there will be also mitres." - Our Lady, October 6, 1980

ABORTION NEVER CONDONED
"You will remember, My children and My child, to guard the young. Your clergy have fallen into darkness. Abortion will never be condoned. But We must have others who fervently will go forward and bring out to the minds of those who have actually seduced the country and the children--bring them the knowledge of Heaven, hell and purgatory. Then they will not have free license to sin." - Our Lady, May 28, 1983

HELL EXISTS
"My children, do not listen to the mockers, the deceivers, those who seek to blind you to the truth with worldly reasoning and rationalization of sin. Sin, My children, is sin! Hell exists, as purgatory exists!" - Jesus, March 18, 1977

FULL DEDICATION
"My children, understand: it is a great test for all mankind. You who have been given the knowledge of what is happening now upon earth must go forward as apostles, disciples of My Son, and pass this knowledge on to all. If you are too concerned of your own pride and personal comforts, My children, you will not be able to work as an apostle and disciple. It must be a full dedication in the spirit." - Our Lady, July 15, 1978

PASTORS
"Pastors, do you reject the Message from Heaven because you fear it? Or do you prefer to ignore it because it will expose your error?
"Pride! False pride, My children, is the downfall of many. Cast aside this worldly pride! You have only one to face when you come over the veil: it is the judgment of the Eternal Father.
"You owe, My children, no allegiance to man who offends the Eternal Father. The Commandments given by the Eternal Father must be followed." - Our Lady, October 6, 1975

A PRICE TO PAY FOR SAINTHOOD
“You will all keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your country and the world. Do not spend your time with trifles, My child. Many shall seek to stop the mission, but go forward and put your viewpoint, My child, in a new prospect—your viewpoint in relation to what is important and what is not important in your mission. You must not place any human being above the Creator’s work.
“Full dedication is the road to purity, sanctification and sainthood, My child. There will be many latter-day saints created. But there is a price for it, My child. Remember this when the thorns are heavy and piercing.” - Jesus, November 20, 1978

FIRST GREAT DEVASTATION OF AMERICA’S EXISTENCE
"There is an octopus, a web of evil now fanning out throughout your world. Political powers, money powers--these have all gathered to bring about the destruction of Christianity. My children, the Luciferians are loose now in great numbers upon your earth. They will work through persons, places, and things. Remember this, My children: persons, places, and things.
"I counseled you in the past, and I wish you all to remember that many will sell their souls to get to the head! It has not been said without direction that money is often the root of all evil. Many in Rome are selling their souls to get to the head. They lust for power, and this power is not for the betterment of mankind but the individual. Arrogance! Arrogance and lust for money, My children.
"You will all keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your world and your country. The United States of America, My children, without repentance, without restoration of godliness in the government and in the homes, the United States shall feel the first great devastation of its existence.” – Our Lady, June 18, 1978

MANY WORLD LEADERS SELLING THEIR SOULS
"You must shout from the rooftops, My child, the existence of hell, the knowledge of which satan seeks to take from you. There is a hell, a place of torment and eternal damnation. There is a purgatory, a place of purging, My child--suffering great as in the abyss, but with the knowledge of a reprieve in time to come. It is a bleak longing of the spirit to look upon the Father. Know, My child, this longing of the heart in the fires is of great magnitude encompassing the being of the waiting soul. Should I allow you, My child, to witness and feel this longing you would not remain in your earthly body.
"I have asked you to pray for your world leaders. Many are selling their souls to get to the head. However, My children, even they can be turned back from their darkness with your prayers.” – Our Lady, March 29, 1975

SHALL NEVER BE ACCEPTED
"O My child and My children, never have We seen from the beginning of time a world in such chaos. And also, I shall not speak with words that affright your heart, my child, but I wish it known that this new modern role of what they call 'marriage without marriage'--which means living as 'common-law,' I understand, My children--shall not be tolerated in Heaven. It was never the plan of the Eternal Father that man and woman shall live as animals.
"Fornication shall never be accepted. There is no excuse for fornication. If you cannot remain celibate, better then that you must then be married. It is better, My child and My children, to be married than to burn in hell.” – Our Lady, November 1, 1985

HUMANAE VITAE
"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." – Our Lady, October 2, 1976

CONDEMNED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME
"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

ABOMINATIONS THAT DESTROY THE SOUL
"Yes, My child, Our hearts are heavy. Immodesty, immorality, fornication--all the abominations that destroy the soul have captured many souls for satan. The example in the home is poor.
"Woe unto that day, that last day when parents will look upon children and they will see the judgment of the Father upon themselves and the children! Man will weep; man will gnash his teeth in sorrow!
"It is through the merciful heart of the Father that I have been allowed to come to earth as a Mediatrix between God and man. Do not cast Me aside. Do not send Me away, for if you do you will lose souls and you, as teachers and representatives of My Son, shall enter the kingdom of satan.” – Our Lady, March 18, 1974

SINS OF THE FLESH
“There is blindness much worse than loss of physical sight--the blindness of the heart. So many are heading for the flames blindly. Man seeks to destroy the evidence of hell, but he will learn the truth soon enough. Hell exists and Heaven exists. The sins of the flesh send more souls to hell.” – Our Lady, October 2, 1970

WHEN THE WORLD AND MY SON’S CHURCH BECOME ONE…
"My child, you perceive rightly. It is only in following the rules set down by the Eternal Father that man can find a true peace of heart. There will be no peace upon your earth without My Son. Reject Him, and you will reject life. You will follow the rules given by the Eternal Father, your Commandments, for if you break these rules, you will break your spirit.
"Your country and many countries of the world have given themselves to satan. They seek now to unite My Son's houses, churches, with the world. And know now that should this take place, when the world and My Son's Church become one, the end has been reached.
"Pray a constant vigilance of prayer. Shout My message from the rooftops! Hurry, My children; I must beg you to make great haste, for the time is coming.” – Our Lady, February 10, 1975
