Bolivian Man Escapes after Being Buried Alive in a Coffin as a Sacrifice to the Pachamama...

“Pagans! Pagans, My child, pagans roaming also in the House of My Son!  Is there no one who will go and chase them out?  I have asked you, for the Father, to return Michael to My Son’s House.  He is the guardian of the Faith.  Michael must be entered into My Son’s House.
     “Pastors, shepherds of the flock, why do you scatter Our sheep? Do you not know that your responsibility lies with the Father, your Creator, Who has chosen you to direct His sheep? Why have you chosen to scatter them? Gather these sheep, or forever you, too, shall enter into the abyss. There is no place in Heaven for one who has cast aside the role so important, of such greatness, one who is a representative of My Son in His House, chosen from among thousands, millions upon your earth. How sad that so few recognize any longer their true calling!" - Our Lady of the Roses, June 15, 1974

RELIGIOUS FOUNDATION
"I ask you not to judge your brothers and sisters, but I also counsel you in all warmth of heart as your Mother, not to abandon them in their sin, but to offer charitable consolation in the knowledge of their Faith. A religious foundation must be given to all of the children, the young of the world. Without this foundation of religion, paganism takes over, and soon you will see a major increase in murders and all form of abominations.
     "I shall not, My child, in your weakened state this evening, give you a long discourse on the major sins of the world: the sins that shall be held in abeyance, the sins that shall send mankind into a World War, a war far greater in destructive nature than mankind has ever experienced.”
- Our Lady, November 24, 1979

THE AGENTS OF 666 NOW ARE LOOSED IN ROME 
"The agents of 666 now are loosed in Rome and have entered into the highest places of the hierarchy. It will be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, till all that remains will come forward out of the cleansing."
- Jesus, July 25, 1977

The above Messages from Our Lord and Our Lady were given to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, New York. Read more

LifeSiteNews.com reported on August 15, 2022:

by Louis Knuffke

A man in Bolivia broke out of a coffin just a few days ago after being buried alive “as a sacrifice to mother earth.”

Victor Hugo Mica Alvarez, 30, passed out after heavy drinking on the evening of August 5 at the start of the “Pachamama” Mother Earth Festival in El Alto, Bolivia. He awoke in the middle of the night only to find himself 50 miles away in Achacachi enclosed in a casket.

At the Festival of the Pachamama, Bolivians make offerings to the goddess of earth and fertility in the form of animal sacrifices, including sheep fetuses, cocoa leaves, and as the present case indicates, even human sacrifice. These offerings are called “sullu,” and they made especially in the month of August because that is when the goddess is thought to “opens her mouth” for such sacrifices.

Alvarez believes he was buried by his companions as a sacrifice to the Pachamama. He told the local Bolivian news outlet Página Siete, “Last night was the pre-entry [of the festival], we went dancing. And afterwards I don’t remember. The only thing I remember is that I thought I was in my bed, I wanted to get up to go urinate and I couldn’t move. When I pushed the coffin, I was able to break a glass that it had and that way I was able to get out. They wanted to use me as a sullu.”

However, when Alvarez reported the incident to police, they at first refused to believe him, thinking he was too drunk.

In 2019, when the Pachamama idol was worshipped in the Vatican gardens just outside St. Peter’s Basilica in the presence of Pope Francis, Bishop Athanasius Schneider pointed out in a statement on the issue that there is a living cult of the Pachamama in South America, especially among the indigenous peoples of the Andes. Along with many other clerics, Schneider forcefully condemned the worship of the goddess of fertility, who demands child sacrifice, a practice maintained to this day in certain places.

In Bolivia, the offerings to the Pachamama continue throughout the year. Many indigenous people participate in dances, sacrifices, and ritual ceremonies that surround the worship of the goddess.

HONOR YOUR GOD
"I stress, I repeat the way given by the Father for you in the days ahead: prayer, atonement, and sacrifice. Much is needed. You must bend your knees to honor your God. Women must not expose their flesh. Paganism will not be tolerated by the Father, neither in your lay life nor in the House of My Son. It is an abomination for women to speak in the House of God! I hear a word . . . defilement of man: liberation! My child, what is this liberation women ask for? Satan has created the plan for their destruction. Take your Bible, take the Book of life and study it and learn! You have given off a wretched stink of the devil! Woman, you were created by the Father as a helper for your husband! Now you are in competition to be as your husband.
     "All manners of vile creatures now run upon your earth. They are no longer human creations of the Father; they are animals. Fornication! Adultery! Filth! And you wonder, My children, why I cry and shed bitter tears, for I know what lies ahead for you if you continue in the manner in which you offend your God now. Destruction! Destruction from man and destruction upon you from the Father!”
- Our Lady, July 15, 1974

ROME SHALL BECOME THE SEAT OF ANTICHRIST
"Your world, mankind, is now developing into a one-world government and a one-world religion that will cast aside My Son. Woe, I say unto you, as I cried before, that unless you pray, unless you act now, 666 shall entrench himself in Rome, the Eternal City of Rome, and then it shall become the seat of the antichrist forces. My children, remove the blindness from your hearts and your eyes. Can you not recognize what is happening?
    "I cry bitter tears of sorrow. I ask all My children to save My Son's House, His Church upon earth. And how may this be accomplished? By prayer, My children; by good example; constructive criticism. You cannot give full confidence to satan or his agents. You cannot expect another to take your part in this battle of the spirits. Each and every one of conscionable age must now go forward as a bearer of truth and light. These days, My children, are the days that had been spoken of and written of by the prophets of old."
- Our Lady, December 7, 1977

The awesome Bayside Prophecies...  https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

IMMORALITY AND PAGANISM
"My children, you must change your values back to the plan of your God. As a nation, as a country, as in many countries throughout the world, you have become paganized and immoral. My children, it is the gauge for the fall of mankind: immorality and paganism. No nation shall stand without its God, the God in Heaven.
     "Man is creating many new gods, gods to feed his human nature; and it is a basic carnal nature. Idolaters abound. When you worship in abundance things, My children, you are worshiping idols! If you spend your time gathering things, money, power, you are worshiping idols. Remove yourself from these worldly pursuits.” - Jesus, March 18, 1978

RECOGNIZE AND ACCEPT
"The world, your earth, must recognize and accept the warnings from Heaven. I have given to My children countless hours of earth's time, beseeching you to turn now from your evil ways, ways that offend your God and destroy your immortal soul, condemning yourself to the eternal fires of hell. There are many, My child, who come to scoff; there are many who come of the curious. However, they, too, will receive in due time the grace to recognize the truth.
     "My tears fall heavily upon the young. It truly rains teardrops from Heaven. Delusion, deception, paganism--it has become a way of life for man to give himself to the pleasures of the flesh. The light has not returned to many homes. We look into the heart of man and find darkness.” - Our Lady, September 13, 1973

CONSORTING WITH ASTROLOGERS
"We look upon you, My children, and find that you are consorting with astrologers, sorcerers, paganism--even bringing this way of life into My Son's Church! Like pagans, you dance down the aisles during the Holy Sacrifice! Like pagans you come undressed, My children, to the Holy Sacrifice! You conduct yourselves without respect or love!” - Our Lady, April 9, 1977

FOUL PURSUITS
"Discipline in government . . . The words are emblazoned: 'In God We Trust', but who is the god they trust? Man has become their god!
     "All manner of foul pursuits enter upon the lives of mankind, giving themselves over to trust in astrology and fortunetelling. Paganism! With the demons now loosed from hell, I say unto you: you will walk softly; and you walk now where angels fear to tread! Do not enter into the realm of the supernatural. There are forces about you, unseen to the human eye, but they are from hell! You must guard your lives, your spiritual lives, with all of the armor given from Heaven, receiving all of the graces for yourselves and your children. I assure you, when you come over the veil--and many of you shall not pass beyond two years, and you will come over the veil. Are you ready? Have you prepared for your entrance over the veil? You carry nothing but prayers, love, and graces with you. You will be stripped of all worldly possessions and power. The true state of your soul shall stand for judgment.” - Jesus, May 28, 1977

A GREAT BATTLE
"A great battle is taking place now within My Church and in all corners of the earth and countries. If the evil accelerates farther, it will be necessary for divine intervention. Is this what you want, My children? Can you never learn from your past? Your nation, My children, the United States and Canada and many nations of the world--and I shall say now, most nations of the earth have given themselves over now to paganism and atheism and all manner of 'isms' that spell destruction for mankind.” - Jesus, September 28, 1978

IDOLS OF MAN
"There is only one way, My children, when you turn from your God: it is down. Moral corruption, casting aside the Commandments of your God, building and worshipping idols of man, paganism in My House, leaders that have given themselves to satan--shall I continue to list for you all of the abominations committed by mankind until I cry out that you have become a degenerate generation and you call upon yourselves a baptism of fire?
     "It is a sad fact, but one that cannot be escaped, but held in abeyance by the prayers and acts of atonement of the few--it is a sad fact that two great penances shall be set upon mankind: a scourge of war and the Ball of Redemption. How soon, you ask? Does it matter when a time? Are you prepared now? It will fast come upon you unexpectedly. There shall appear two suns on your horizon. Fear shall grip the hearts of many, and this fear shall come from the knowledge that you rejected the warnings from Heaven and did not act upon them.” - Jesus, December 7, 1976

SATAN ENTERED THE CHURCH
"How I warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest realms of the hierarchy in Rome. The Third Secret, My child, is that satan would enter into My Son's Church." - Our Lady, May 13, 1978

SATAN SAT IN ON VATICAN II
"I say this evening, as your God, that on that date, as promised at Fatima, satan entered My Church upon earth. He brought with him his agents--and satan himself, the deceiver of all mankind--sat in on Vatican II and maneuvered all the outsiders to come in and distort My doctrines and distort the truth. At Fatima, My Mother tried to warn of this coming event, but who cared to listen? Who was interested in listening?" - Jesus, June 18, 1986

A SECRET WAS TO BE REVEALED
"I counseled you at Fatima, and who gave My counsel to the world? Pride and arrogance anew! A secret was to be revealed, and who counseled and prepared the world for the onslaught of Satan into My Son's House? No one!" - Our Lady, December 3l, 1977

WIDE ROAD TO DAMNATION
"I say unto you, My pastors, hierarchy and priests of all nations: You will follow the rules as given through countless earth-years. My Church, My House has been set up upon earth. I gave the direction. It was a simple way. And you have entered upon the wide road to damnation. Many mitres shall fall into hell! But sadly they will take others with them.
     "The justice of the Eternal Father has charity, gives hope. However, you cannot compromise the Faith. You cannot compromise with evil. There is no middle road between good and evil.” - Jesus, October 6, 1978

“RESTORE MY HOUSE NOW”
"Many mitres now hold major responsibility for the loss of their sheep. You have scattered them in all directions. And now what do you intend to do to restore My House? Restore My House now, for I shall return and I shall send you out of My House, forever lost to Heaven. Your rank has no precedence over another soul when this soul is being sent into the abyss. You hold a major responsibility for the loss of My sheep.” - Jesus, May 29, 1976 

ARROGANCE AND PRIDE
"Because of the arrogance and pride of My clergy, many of Our sheep, Our children, are lost to the Kingdom of Heaven. Many mitres are destined for the abyss. Heresy and apostasy abounds upon earth.” - Jesus, June 18, 1979 

SOME ARE A DISGRACE
“Clergy in My Son’s houses, you must show more honor to My Son. There are some who are a disgrace to their profession, leading others into ways of sin. Oh ye of little faith, why do you debase the young? You who have given themselves over to worldly pleasures and defamed their profession shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” - Our Lady, June 18, 1993"Red Hats, bishops, you go about earth oppressing the children of God, but you neither chastise nor condemn the evil ones in your House, the Church." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 3, 1978

 "I am your God, and I say unto you:  continue to change My Church and you will fall!  You will build a secular church, bringing in all--even heretics, even homosexuals.  All aberrations condemned by the Eternal Father, you will permit in the name of humanism.  Nay, no!  I say unto you as your God.  You will be given a short reign, for I consider you then an abomination, and as such you will be removed." - Jesus, May 23, 1979 

SATAN ENTERED THE CHURCH
"How I warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest realms of the hierarchy in Rome. The Third Secret, My child, is that satan would enter into My Son's Church." - Our Lady, May 13, 1978

CAPITULATION
"My children, the forces of 666, the forces of darkness now are gathering to do full war with all of the children of God in the light. It will be a battle that will call for great spirit, great sacrifice. And one must retain the knowledge of the Faith, for it will give you necessary strength in the battle.
    "In Rome, the Eternal City of the hills, My children, the forces are gathering to bring about the capitulation of the Seat of Peter to communism and atheism, all promoted in the name of humanism. My children, all this is coming about fast because man has neglected sacrifice and prayer.
    "A delusion has been set upon mankind. The Eternal Father has deemed that man shall go along now and reap what he has sown. Man is forever searching for peace--peace of heart, peace in armaments. But the more he cries for peace the farther he flies from it. There shall be no peace upon earth unless man returns to his God.
    "The state of your world has been reduced by the immorality. The state of your world is capitulating now to all of the forces of the octopus that will seek to bring about a one-world religion and a one-world government under a supreme dictator of evil." - Our Lady, March 18, 1978

TRAITORS IN THE VATICAN
"Your newspapers, even those who call themselves Catholic, have fallen. They have now been given to the enemies of God, for when they seek to destroy the Church of the Son of God, they are enemies of God, and they are of the Antichrist.
    "Make it known, my child, that you all now are proceeding in the days of the Revelations. All will come to pass as given in the Book of life. There are many seers now throughout the world who will carry the message forward. Many must accept martyrdom, but the glory beyond the veil far exceeds the suffering of earth time.
    "Control--you must know, my child, and tell the world that satan has control now of many major positions in the House of God, in the Eternal City of Rome. Traitors surround your Vicar. His sufferings are great.
    "Already they have chosen his successor. But pray, my children, pray much that he does not be removed, for woe to the world! The crucifixion of the Mystical Body of Christ! Woe to mankind!" - St. Michael, August 21, 1974

HAVEN FOR HERETICS
"Hasten, harken, and listen! The Message from Heaven is going throughout your world. The Queen of Heaven, your Mother, has come to your earth to bring you the admonition from Heaven. Each man shall accept or reject this message in his free will. The sheep shall be separated from the goats.
    "Rome, Eternal City, the light is dim. Rome, haven for heretics and all manners of abomination, shall you not cleanse yourself before the Eternal Father places His hand upon you in chastisement? You have opened your doors to all manner of evil spirits.
    "Holiness and piety! Man--men of God, you must wear your garment of purity, dedication, and piety. What manner of foul deeds do you perform for the destruction of your sheep! For what? Material gain and pride and arrogance? You shall be cast into the abyss! Rank shall give you no advantage when you come over the veil." - St. Michael, December 24, 1975

ONLY THROUGH HUMBLENESS
"My children, the forces of evil are gathering in the Eternal City of Rome. You must all pray a constant vigilance. Your Holy Father has accepted a heavy cross.
    "The Message from Heaven has entered upon the Eternal City. It is only through humbleness of heart and prayer that those who have a high station in My Son's House will understand the errors they have fallen into and will turn back now while there is time. They have consorted with the enemies of God. The road to hell is often paved with good intentions, My children, but you have been deluded by many.
    "In your striving to bring peace and brotherhood, you have lost your way, O pastors of My Son's houses. There shall be, without prayer, a battle: bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, and all that is rotten shall fall." - Our Lady, May 29, 1976

GREAT DARKNESS COVERING ROME
"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?
    "My children, the time is growing short. There are many victim souls now in your world who have carried the balance, the balance that grows heavily to the left. When the peak of iniquity is reached, know that the final cleansing of mankind shall be at hand!
    "My children, I cannot, as your Mother, refrain from bringing to you the facts. I give you hope in My Son. Remain with Him at the tabernacles in your world. I bring you confidence from My Son, that if you persevere you will overcome all of the evils now rampant in your world." - Our Lady, December 28, 1976

There are 4 Things You Must Have to Survive the End Times:

1.) The Douay-Rheims Holy Bible...

"I ask that all who hear My voice will take their Bibles, and if they do not have one, search, but find the right Bible, those printed not after 1965, My children." -  Jesus, October 5, 1985
     "You must all obtain a copy of the Book of life and love, the Bible. Do not accept the new mods. Try to find in your bookstores the old Bibles, My children, for many are being changed to suit the carnal nature of man.  I repeat, sin has become a way of life." - Our Lady, October 6, 1992  
    "I must ask you all to read but a few short chapters a day now, the Book of life and love, your Bible. Knowledge must be gained for all the disciples of My Son, for you will be attacked by scientific minds. But do not be concerned what you will say to them when accosted, for the words will be given to you by the Spirit." - Our Lady, April 10, 1976 
    The Douay-Rheims Bible was published in 1899.  It is the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church.  Almost all other Bibles have been rewritten by Satan.   See: https://www.tldm.org/directives/d33.htmhttps://www.tldm.org/directives/d415.htm and https://www.tldm.org/directives/d182.htm   If you don't have a Douay-Rheims Bible order it now!  (Order Form)  Yours and your loved ones salvation could depend on it. 
    Read the Bible cover to cover.  If you read 4 chapters a day, you will complete the whole Bible in 334 days.  I have read the Bible 2 times and working on the third time.  A 75 year old Baptism gentleman told me that he and his wife have read the Bible nine times.  Wow!

2.)  The Complete Virgin Mary’s Bayside Prophesies in 6 Paperback Books...

The Virgin Mary brings directions from God, the Father in Heaven on how to survive the end times.  God, the Father, through the Virgin Mary, tells what is coming, how to prepare for it, how to survive it, and how to even stop it.  These six volumes along with the Bible are most important to save yourself and your loved ones.  Order it now.  Tomorrow may be to late.  These 6 pocket size paperback books costs $33.00.   (Order Form)

3.)  Heaven's Home Protection Packet...

Crucifix on front and back door...  The only real protection against terrorists...
Jesus - "Pray and wear your sacramentals. And, also, My children, I ask you again to place a crucifix upon your door. Both front and back doors must have a crucifix. I say this to you because there will be carnage within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your doors." (6-30-84) (Testimonies of lives and homes saved by the crucifixes.)  https://www.tldm.org/news/crucifix.htm    (Order Form)

4.) Heaven's Personal Protection Packet...

    Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers promises to help protect our children. On September 13, 1977, She said, "He has an army of ogres wandering now throughout your country and all of the countries of the world. They are in possession of great power; so wear your sacramentals, and protect your children and your households. Learn the use every day of holy water throughout your household. Insist even with obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will repel the demons."
    On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the knowledge that you will not be protected without the sacramentals. Guard your children's souls. They must be surrounded with an aura of purity. Remove them if necessary from the sources of contamination, be it your schools or even false pastors."
