Directive from Heaven #777 – Discouragement - given to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#777 – Discouragement

“And you shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved.” – St. Matthew 10: 22

“DO NOT GIVE IN TO DISCOURAGEMENT”
"My child, do not give in to discouragement. You must trust more in the Father. You waste precious moments and are tiring yourself and wasting your energies by fighting the battle seemingly alone. Silent prayer; reach higher in prayer, My child. Spare these moments, and you will be given more grace. You must make more time for communication with the Father in private.” – Our Lady, September 7, 1973

“THEY WILL BE GUIDED”
“I do assure all who will be part of this mission that they will be guided, and they will confuse and confound the church of satan.
"Yes, My child, much is asked of you, but you will receive additional strength to continue. When you find a moment of discouragement, you will say, my Jesus, my confidence.” – Our Lady, October 6, 1980

“MY JESUS, MY CONFIDENCE”
"Come to Me, My children, at the tabernacles in your world. It behooves you to accept every chance given to eat of the Bread of life, because the day will come when you will knock on the doors and they will not be opened.
"Pray, My children, a constant vigilance of prayer. Whenever you feel despair or discouragement, you will say, my Jesus, my confidence. Look upward to Heaven; keep your eyes upon the sky, My children, and search through the darkness for your brothers and sisters that have gone astray." – Jesus, November 19, 1977

“DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED”
"Do not be discouraged, My child. My Son shall come with the sword. The world will go through great trial, but there will be peace. I cannot promise you an early peace as I did in Fatima, for all was conditional, and man did not respond, My child." – Our Lady, June 24, 1976

“YOU WILL NOT BECOME DISCOURAGED”
"My heart is heavy. Many of My messages to the world have been cast aside. Should this continue as the pattern, My child, there is nothing further that I can do to hold back the hand of destruction that is coming toward you now.
"You will not become discouraged. You will continue to send out the messages given to you. You will not stop, My child, as I will not stop. There will be every chance given to every soul. It will be their own choosing should they continue in the darkness and be visited with the ultimate destruction.” – Our Lady, August 21, 1971

“DO NOT LEAVE”
"Come out of the darkness, my sisters. You have been misled. Do not follow the fashions of your world. There is no fashion in Heaven. Jesus never changes. There is great punishment ahead for those who follow the world. Do not leave when you are discouraged by those who satan has sent into your convents. Stand forth as an example of purity and godliness. You will not be cast aside by your God, as you will by man, as you stand to defend your God. Pick up your cross and carry it.
"You will return the habit to the floor." – St. Theresa, November 20, 1972

SATAN HAS ENTERED INTO THE HOUSE OF GOD
"Do not be discouraged, My children. Did you not recognize the signs of the times?
"Veronica, My child, why are you so despondent? Did I not tell you that satan had entered into the House of My Son? Prayer and atonement, My child. Soon your lot will be much easier.
"Now My Son will bless these beloved children who have followed the golden rule." – Our Lady, November 1, 1973

ANOTHER RELIGION BEING BUILT
"My child and My children, I need not repeat to you the necessity to retain tradition. It was like a valve, a safeguard from the eruption of My Son's Church, a schism, a division within My Son's House upon earth. I cry unto you, your Mother, as I hasten back and forth bringing you the message, the counsel from Heaven. You must recognize--bishops, cardinals, and pastors, you must recognize what is happening now in My Son's House. There is being rebuilt before your very eyes another religion, another church of man. No angels are helping in this building.
"My children, do not become discouraged. When you meet with trial, you will say, My Jesus, my confidence! I wish all of you to go forward as saints of the latter days, disciples of My Son, and bring the Message from Heaven to all. Do not become discouraged along the way by those who scoff at you or reject this message. Believe Me, My children, when I say to you that My own will know Me.
"Your mission now, My children, is to give each and every one you meet with this message, regardless of race, color, or creed. The message I bring from Heaven is for all mankind. Terrible judgments shall be set upon your world. These judgments will not consider race, creed, or religion.” – Our Lady, September 7, 1978

GREAT OPPOSITION
"All who continue with perseverance in sending the Message from Heaven throughout the world will meet at this time with great opposition, all because the time is growing short, My child. The Warning will soon come upon mankind.
    "Do not be discouraged, My child. The reward for those who are not destined for the eternal Kingdom of your God will be given to them upon earth. But many tears shall be shed when they come over the veil, for they cannot be given the keys to the Kingdom. They have already received their reward, the reward of their evildoing and the destruction of souls that they have been responsible for.
    "Many mitres are now being covered in darkness of spirit. They must awaken from their slumber.
    "I have gone throughout your world, My child, shedding tears of great sorrow, for many souls are going fast into the abyss.” – Our Lady, November 22, 1975

“WE FIND MUCH LACKING IN THE HOMES”
"Many prayers are needed for your clergy. But for your prayers, many shall be lost to the Kingdom of God. It is a fallacy, My children, that those who wear the garments of teachers of the light shall enter into the eternal Kingdom. They are still human, My children, and must make their way with the cross, also. They need your prayers as well as your children and neighbors. It is an act of charity of heart to pray for your pastors, My children.
"We are displeased, discouraged, and disheartened, My children, at watching inside the homes of many. The 'many' has become multitudinous, My children. We find much lacking in the homes. The family life has deteriorated and corroded. Little by little, We see the structure of the family life disintegrating. There is little discipline and not holiness, by far, in many of these homes, My children. The teaching is poor, to say the least.
"You must restore to your homes the pictures, the objects of worship, the statues, so that your children will receive a small knowledge of the existence of the eternal Kingdom and those inhabitants of the spirit. Unless you do this, My children, your children in turn will be lost to you, and to the Kingdom of the Father.” – Our Lady, August 14, 1975

“DO NOT DESPAIR OR BECOME DISCOURAGED
"My children, many have said My message is a frightening one, but what can I tell you but the truth? Gladly would I come to you with words of cheer, but I can only extend to you words of courage and caution.
    "My visits upon earth are increasing, My children. Many armies for Heaven are being raised up.
    "Do not despair or become discouraged in the battle ahead, My children. I promised you always that I shall be with you. My Son is always with you, but I shall accompany Him as We watch the battle continue, the battle of the spirits.
    "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

“GO FORWARD WITH MY MOTHER”
“O you of little faith, what manner of falsehood and false teachings are you bringing into My House? I will set upon you a sword. I shall send upon you the reaper to cut down the harvest and separate the chaff from the kernel.
    "The foundation of your Faith has been given in simplicity to you, and you, O man of little faith, have sought a change that has scattered Our sheep and destroyed souls. Shall I commend you for this? No! I say unto you: You shall receive the sword!
    "My little ones--and I say in fact, My little ones, who are of humble heart and spirit, who seek not the pleasures and gain of worldliness--My little ones, I comfort you with the knowledge that you will receive the keys to the Kingdom. Be not discouraged in this world of darkness, My children; go forward with My Mother. Her direction is true to you. You may not understand all that is being given, but accept this with confidence, for when the time is right, all will be made known to you.
    "Many miracles and cures, cures of the body and cures of the spirit shall be given. Much shall be rejected, for so deep is the evil. This evil has penetrated far into the very heart of My House. You must now turn back and restore My House. I, your God, give you this command for the salvation of your own soul.
    "The Eternal City of Rome shall pass through a great conflagration. Discipline must be restored. Obedience, yes, but true obedience to their God and not to the mores of man. Much evil is being condoned, disguised under the guise of obedience. Let us, My children, call this a false obedience, clouded by errors and satanism.” – Jesus, August 21, 1976

“STAND FORTH AS AN EXAMPLE TO OTHERS”
"You see only one part, My child, of the great days of tribulation to come. I know how weary My work is upon earth. Our armies grow, as others turn their back, and scoffers roam the world. Do not be discouraged, My children, for you must stand forth as an example to others. And you must not slacken in your acts of sacrifice and penance. Do not give in, My children, to your body weaknesses. I will furnish you with the strength to continue your discipleship upon earth." – Our Lady, December 30, 1972

“CONTINUE YOUR MISSION UNDAUNTED BY THE OPINION OF MAN”
"My child, you are observing conditions upon earth. Should they continue, a heavy penance will be given to mankind.
"We have given you in print many photographs of the coming Chastisement. Scoffers will close their eyes and be blinded to the manifestations.
"You, My child, Veronica, will not become discouraged. You will continue your mission undaunted by the opinion of man. The Father is in full control of earth's situation. In the war of the spirits, many true souls will carry heavy crosses." – Our Lady, July 25, 1973

“THOSE WHO DISCREDIT THEIR VOCATION”
"My children, you must all pray a constant vigilance of prayer. I know that the Message from Heaven has reached all the corners of earth, and I ask that each and every one who hears My voice, who reads the Message from Heaven, to become a disciple of your God and go about, whether it be on foot or by pen.
"Do not become discouraged because of the actions of those who discredit their vocation. My children, yes, I have asked you to pray for your bishops, your cardinals, your priests. They are human beings, and they, too, can fall. They do not have a special passport to Heaven. Without your prayers they will fall, also." – Our Lady, July 25, 1979

“BE NOT CONCERNED OF THE OPINIONS OF MANKIND”
"If you do not pray and cleanse your government and daily lives of the evil which you have allowed in, many houses of My Son will shut their doors and you will no longer have the light among you. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer. Chase the demons out of My Son's houses. Those in authority must remove the bad seed from My Son's houses!
    "The time will come when brother shall fight against brother, cardinal against cardinal, bishop against bishop, satan setting himself in their midst. But know that the Father will have all under control. It is in this manner that He will separate the sheep from the goats.
    "I bless you, My child. Continue with your mission. I would advise you to give more time to daily prayer, and be not concerned of the opinions of mankind. Do not feel sad, My child; you are only human.
    "Remember, My child, when you become discouraged, I cannot promise you a life of great happiness in this world." – Our Lady, November 1, 1974

“YOU MUST EXPECT TO CARRY YOUR CROSS AS HE DID”
"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.
"When you find the need for comfort you will say from your heart: My Jesus, my confidence!
"Pray, My children, always. Pray for your poor brothers and sisters who are not of blood relationship; but as creations of your God, you are all brothers and sisters upon earth. In your charity extend to all love and understanding. Do not seek to harm others intentionally.” – Our Lady, November 20, 1979

LEADERS OF EVIL
"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.
"When you become discouraged upon your mission, you will say with great reverence and joy of heart and confidence, you will say, My Jesus, my confidence! My Jesus, my confidence!" – Our Lady, February 10 1978

“DO NOT BE STOPPED IN YOUR MISSION”
"When you find, in your human nature, a failing approaching, you may ask Jesus in this manner: My Jesus, my confidence! You will repeat this: My Jesus, my confidence! You will find, My children, that there is great comfort for you all in the days ahead. Do not be discouraged. Do not be stopped in your mission by the opinion of man.
"O My children, a great chastisement is to come upon mankind. Your country, America the beautiful, shall be washed clean by trial. I cannot promise you now, My children, a turning away of this chastisement. It is imminent upon mankind.” – Our Lady, May 15, 1976

“NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH THE FATHER”
"I have asked for this hallowed ground to be given over as a center of atonement. The will of the Father shall not be cast aside and given to the will of man. All will come to pass as has been directed by the Father.
    "Rejoice, My child, for you have this night been given the knowledge of a great grace.
    "Your world has not balanced the scale, for the iniquity mounts.
    "It is with great joy that We tell you that the Message of Heaven has reached many. You see, My child, you become discouraged, but you must realize that nothing is impossible with the Father. No man will stand in the way of the Father when He sets out to save a soul. Learn the value of suffering, for with your suffering you can save many souls.” – Our Lady, February 1, 1974

“YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THE BATTLE”
"My children, I warned you for many earth-years that there would be a total war of the spirits upon earth. This war you are fighting is supernatural. It is a difficult war, because only faith--ask and you shall receive the way; seek the light and you will find it, and your eyes will be opened. Many shall be able to look into the unseen world with grace.
    "My child, your groups are becoming numerous throughout the world. Heaven is sending many forces to join you. You will receive much help in the battle ahead. You must not become discouraged. Remember, My child, We depend much upon you.
    "There are many who understand the supernatural, My child. You are not alone in the battle.
    "There will be upon earth great opposition to this message, My child. It is natural in the reality of satan's plan to try to take every soul from the Eternal Father in Heaven.” – Our Lady, September 13, 1977

BATTLE SHALL RAGE IN ROME
"Rome shall go through a crucible of suffering as the good fights with the bad; and I say bad because what could be worse than the forces of evil led by Lucifer, and known to the world as 666. Yes, the battle shall rage in Rome as it rages now throughout your world. He is a man of many faces: 666, Lucifer and his agents.
"The world's people have been alerted to the dangers now existent to your souls. You will all guard your children, for you shall not receive comfort from the enemy. When you become discouraged you will lift your eyes to Heaven and cry out, My Jesus, my confidence!
"Persevere, My children, in the days ahead and you will surely win your crown." – Jesus, April 1, 1978

“GO FORWARD AS BEARERS OF THE LIGHT”
"O My children, go forward as bearers of the light. Do not become discouraged. If you meet with a rebuttal, My children, turn away and go on to another. There are many souls to reach now in this time of Antichrist, My children.” – Our Lady, May 14, 1977

“ACCEPT ALL IN THE WILL OF GOD”
St. Aloysius - "Blessed be ye when the world persecutes you for the Word of God. When man says all manner of lies against you, you shall not defend yourself, but commend all to the Father. When you can do this . . . "
Veronica - Oh, and he's smiling. Oh, he's such a wonderfully happy-looking young man. Now he's repeating:
St. Aloysius - "When you can do this, then you will know that you have divested yourself of all worldly self-pride. It is a grace from the Father. Do not be discouraged. Veronica, pray for the virtue of continuous purity of heart and purpose. Accept all in the will of God and you will find yourself riding the waves and not fighting the tides, of the dark tides." – September 7, 1973

THE CHURCH WILL RISE
"Man has the balance, man has been given in free will the balance for his own fall, or restoration of a nation to its former glory under God. Like rodents, the enemies of your God have eaten away at the foundations of the Faith. But in a short time they will be destroyed, and a new House will rise, a Church stronger in faith and sanctity and holiness. But this cannot, My children, take place until a great Chastisement is set upon mankind." – Jesus, June 18, 1981
