Christmas traditions:
The Advent wreath...
The opening of the eternal gates through which the King of Glory may enter is indicated by the wreath on the door of our homes at Christmastide. The Advent wreath, which accompanied the family throughout the season of preparation may be taken down. The violet ribbons are removed, and it is gloriously decorated with white and gold. It is then placed upon the door as a symbol of the welcome of Christ into our city, our home and our hearts. On Christmas Eve the whole house should be strewn with garlands and made ready for the Light of the World. The crib is set in a special place of honor, for tonight the central figure of the Nativity scene is to arrive.
The Jews celebrate their feast of lights (Hannukah) during the month of December in honor of the rededication of the Temple. Tonight we celebrate the arrival of the Messias who is the light and life of the world. The liturgy itself has preserved the symbolism of light as representative of the Redeemer, and this is most dramatically brought out in the blessing of the paschal candle at Easter. On Christmas Eve, a huge candle is set up in the home. It was often the custom to surround this candle with a laurel wreath, symbolic of victory over Satan, and then to keep the light burning throughout the holy night and every night during the festival season. Nearly every nation has adopted the Christmas candle. In Ireland the family lights a holly-bedecked candle and prays for the living and the dead. The Ukrainians place their candle in a loaf of bread, reminiscent of the Bread of Life and the Light of the Nations. In South America the candle is sometimes placed in a paper lantern decorated with Nativity scenes. In France the Christmas light often consisted in the molding of three individual candles into one at the base in order to give honor to the Most Holy Trinity. In Germany the Christmas candle was sometimes placed upon the lichtstock, a wooden pole decorated with evergreens. The pyramid of candles which later became customary was replaced by the Christmas tree during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
The Irish are particularly fond of placing a candle in the window. During the English persecutions priests were obliged to go into hiding, and it was the hope of every Irish family to have the refugee come into their home for the celebration of Mass on Christmas Eve. The candle in the window indicated his welcome into their home. When the English authorities requested an explanation of this custom the Irish simply explained that they lit the candles and kept the doors unlocked so that if Mary and Joseph were looking for a place to stay they knew that they would be welcome. This "superstition" was considered harmless by the English, and the Irish were often rewarded by the Real Presence of Christ at Holy Mass.
The Christmas fires burning on the peaks of the Alps in central Europe are a colorful sight. As Father Weiser writes:
Like flaming stars they hang in the dark heavens during Holy Night, burning brightly and silently as the farmers from around the mountainsides walk through the winter night down into the valley for midnight Mass. Each person carries a lantern, swinging it to and fro; the night seems alive with hundreds of glow worms converging towards the great light at the foot of the mountains — the parish church — shining and sparkling, a "Feast of Lights" indeed. No one who has witnessed this scene on Christmas Eve in Austria, Bavaria or Switzerland will ever forget it.
This is the evening for the telling of Christmas stories to the children. The collection of Christmas stories in Christmastide by William J. Rohrenbeck would serve well both for tonight and throughout the holiday season. During the long evening before the midnight Mass a story could be read. The little Christmas Eve program available from Conception Abbey, Conception, Mo., with its readings from the Martyrology and the Gospel of St. Luke could be enacted. The last preparations of the Christmas tree and crib are made. The close association between the evergreen tree as the symbol of life, and the Christmas candle as the symbol of light should be retained. When the great Ansgar preached Christ to the Vikings he referred to the fir tree as a symbol of the faith, for "it was as high as hope, as wide as love, and bore the sign of the cross on every bough." Instead of exchanging presents and having a little feast during the evening, we should imitate the bountiful Réveillon breakfast after the midnight Mass. The fasting is over and the joys of Christmas are at hand; with the Giver of all gifts we extend our gifts and love to family and friends.

The History of Christmas
The History of Christmas...
"With regard to our Savior's Birth on December 25, we have St. John Chrysostom telling us, in his Homily for this Feast, that the Western Churches had, from the very commencement of Christianity, kept it on this day"
Taken from Dom Gueranger's The Liturgical Year:
We apply the name of Christmas to the forty days which begin with the Nativity of our Lord, December 25, and end with the Purification of the Blessed Virgin, February 2. It is a period which forms a distinct portion of the Liturgical Year, as distinct, by its own special spirit, from every other, as are Advent, Lent, Easter, or Pentecost. One same Mystery is celebrated and kept in view during the whole forty days. Neither the Feasts of the Saints, which so abound during this Season; nor the time of Septuagesima, with its mournful Purple; which often begins before Christmastide is over, seem able to distract our Holy Mother the Church from the immense joy of which she received the good tidings from the Angels (St. Luke 2:10) on that glorious Night for which the world had been longing four thousand years. The Faithful will remember that the Liturgy commemorates this long expectation by the four penitential weeks of Advent.
The custom of celebrating the Solemnity of our Saviour's Nativity by a feast or commemoration of forty days duration is founded on the holy Gospel itself; for it tells us that the Blessed Virgin Mary, after spending forty days in the contemplation of the Divine Fruit of her glorious Maternity, went to the Temple, there to fulfill, in most perfect humility, the ceremonies which the Law demanded of the daughters of Israel, when they became mothers.
The Feast of Mary's Purification is, therefore, part of that of Jesus' Birth; and the custom of keeping this holy and glorious period of forty days as one continued Festival has every appearance of being a very ancient one, at least in the Roman Church. And firstly, with regard to our Saviour's Birth on December 25, we have St. John Chrysostom telling us, in his Homily for this Feast, that the Western Churches had, from the very commencement of Christianity, kept it on this day. He is not satisfied with merely mentioning the tradition; he undertakes to show that it is well founded, inasmuch as the Church of Rome had every means of knowing the true day of our Saviour's Birth, since the acts of the Enrollment, taken in Judea by command of Augustus, were kept in the public archives of Rome. The holy Doctor adduces a second argument, which he founds upon the Gospel of St. Luke, and he reasons thus: we know from the sacred Scriptures that it must have been in the fast of the seventh month [note: Leviticus 23:24 and following verses. The seventh month (or Tisri) corresponded to the end of our September and beginning of our October] that the Priest Zachary had the vision in the Temple; after which Elizabeth, his wife, conceived St. John the Baptist: hence it follows that the Blessed Virgin having, as the Evangelist St. Luke relates, received the Angel Gabriel's visit, and conceived the Saviour of the world in the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, that is to say, in March, the Birth of Jesus must have taken place in the month of December.
But it was not till the fourth century that the Churches of the East began to keep the Feast of our Saviour's Birth in the month of December. Up to that period they had kept it at one time on the sixty of January, thus uniting it, under the generic term of Epiphany, with the Manifestation of our Saviour made to the Magi, and in them to the Gentiles; at another time, as Clement of Alexandria tells us, they kept in on the 25th of the month Pachon (May 15), or on the 25th of the month Pharmuth (April 20). St. John Chrysostom, in the Homily we have just cited, which he gave in 386, tells us that the Roman custom of celebrating the Birth of our Saviour on December 25 had then only been observed ten years in the Church of Antioch. It is probable that this change had been introduced in obedience to the wishes of the Apostolic See, wishes which received additional weight by the edict of the Emperors Theodosius and Valentinian, which appeared towards the close of the fourth century, and decreed that the Nativity and Epiphany of our Lord should be made two distinct Festivals. The only Church that has maintained the custom of celebrating the two mysteries on January 6 is that of Armenia; owing, no doubt, to the circumstance of that country not being under the authority of the Emperors; as also because it was withdrawn at an early period from the influence of Rome by schism and heresy.
The Feast of Our Lady's Purification, with which the forty days of Christmas close, is, in the Latin Church, of very great antiquity; so ancient, indeed, as to preclude the possibility of our fixing the date of its institution. According to the unanimous opinion of liturgists, it is the most ancient of all the Feasts of the Holy Mother of God; and as her Purification is related in the Gospel itself, they rightly infer that its anniversary was solemnized at the very commencement of Christianity. Of course, this is only to be understood of the Roman Church; for as regards the Oriental Church, we find that this Feast was not definitely fixed to February 2 until the reign of the Emperor Justinian, in the sixth century. It is true that the Eastern Christians had previously to that time a sort of commemoration of this Mystery, but it was far from being a universal custom, and it was kept a few days after the Feast of our Lord's Nativity, and not on the day itself of Mary's going up to the Temple.
But what is the characteristic of Christmas in the Latin liturgy? It is twofold: it is joy, which the whole Church feels at the coming of the divine Word in the Flesh; and it is admiration of that glorious Virgin, who was made the Mother of God. There is scarcely a prayer, or a rite, in the liturgy of this glad season, which does not imply these two grand Mysteries: an Infant-God, and a Virgin-Mother.
For example, on all Sundays and Feasts which are not Doubles, the Church, throughout these forty days, makes a commemoration of the fruitful virginity of the Mother of God, by three special prayers in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. She begs the suffrage of Mary by proclaiming her quality of Mother of God and her inviolate purity, which remained in her even after she had given birth to her Son. And again the magnificent anthem, Alma Redemptoris, composed by the Monk Herman Contractus, continues, up to the very day of the Purification, to be the termination of each Canonical Hour. It is by such manifestations of her love and veneration that the Church, honouring the Son in the Mother, testifies her holy joy during this season of the Liturgical Year, which we call Christmas.
Our readers are aware that, when Easter Sunday falls at its latest—that is, in April—the ecclesiastical calendar counts as many as six Sundays after the Epiphany. Christmastide (that is, the forty days between Christmas Day and the Purification) includes sometimes four out of these six Sundays; frequently only two; and sometimes only one, as in the case when Easter comes so early as to necessitate keeping Septuagesima, and even Sexagesima Sunday, in January. Still, nothing is changed, as we have already said, in the ritual observances of this joyous season, excepting only that on those two Sundays, the fore-runners of Lent, the vestments are purple, and the Gloria in excelsis is omitted.
Although our holy Mother the Church honours with especial devotion the Mystery of the Divine Infancy during the whole season of Christmas; yet, she is obliged to introduce into the liturgy of this same season passages from the holy Gospels which seem premature, inasmuch as they relate to the active life of Jesus. This is owing to there being less than six months allotted by the calendar for the celebration of the entire work of our Redemption: in other words, Christmas and Easter are so near each other, even when Easter is as late as it can be, that Mysteries must of necessity be crowded into the interval; and this entails anticipation. And yet the liturgy never tires in their praises, during the whole period from the Nativity to the day when Mary comes to the Temple to present her Jesus.
The Greeks, too, make frequent commemorations of the Maternity of Mary in their Offices of this season: but they have a special veneration for the twelve days between Christmas Day and the Epiphany, which, in their liturgy, are called the Dodecameron. During this time they observe no days of abstinence from flesh-meat; and the Emperors of the East had, out of respect for the great mystery, decreed that no servile work should be done, and that the courts of law should be closed, until after January 6.
From this outline of the history of the holy season, we can understand what is the characteristic of this second portion of the Liturgical Year, which we call Christmas, and which has ever been a season most dear to the Christian world.

YOGA and HARRY POTTER EVIL?
Yoga and Potter Are Evil Says Vatican Exorcist...
Hindustan Times reported on November 27, 2011:
Vatican’s chief exorcist has claimed that practicing yoga and reading ‘Harry Potter’ brings evil. Father Gabriel Amorth, who has carried out more than 70,000 exorcisms in the past 25 years after being appointed by the late Pope John Paul II, surprised delegates at a conference by revealing his dislike for yoga and ‘Harry Potter’.
“Practising yoga brings evil as does reading Harry Potter. They may both seem innocuous but they both deal with magic and that leads to evil,” the Daily Mail quoted him as saying.
“Yoga is the Devil’s work. You thing you are doing it for stretching your mind and body but it leads to Hinduism. All these oriental religions are based on the false belief of reincarnation,” he said.
Speaking on the subject of People And Religion at a fringe event at the Umbria Film Festival in Terni, Father Amorth spoke of his distaste for JK Rowling’s young wizard.
“People think it is an innocuous book for children but it’s about magic and that leads to evil. In Harry Potter the Devil is at work in a cunning and crafty way, he is using his extraordinary powers of magic and evil,” he said.
“Satan is always hidden and the thing he desires more than anything is for people to believe he does not exist. He studies each and everyone of us and our tendencies towards good and evil and then he tempts us.
“My advice to young people would be to watch out for nightclubs because the path is always the same: alcohol, sex, drugs and Satanic sects,” he added.
This is not the first time that the 85-year-old has raised eyebrows with his forthright views, as last year he had said that the ongoing child sex scandals rocking the Catholic Church were evidence that “the Devil was at work in the Vatican”.

Should women cover their heads in Church?
Should women cover their heads in Church?
"My children, you must join your hands in reverence at the Sacrifice of My Son. It is an expression of love, gratitude, and respect. Reverence and respect and holiness must be returned to My Son's houses, churches throughout the world-reverence, holiness, and respect from the beginning to the end of the Sacred Service.
"Women must keep their heads covered, My child. It is not because of fashion or modes; it is because the Eternal Father and the angels demand proper deportment during the Holy Sacrifice. It offends the heart of My Son much to see that satan has taken away so much piety and holiness in His churches throughout the world." - Our Lady of the Roses, September 6, 1975
During the Second Vatican Council, a mob of reporters waited for news after a council meeting. One of them asked Msgr. Annibale Bugnini, then secretary of the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship, if women still had to wear a headcovering in church. He responded that the bishops were considering other issues, and women's veils were not on the agenda.
The next day, the international press announced throughout the world that women did not have to keep their heads covered in church anymore. A few days later, Msgr. Bugnini told the press he was misquoted and women must still wear the veil. But the press did not retract the error, and many women stopped wearing the veil as out of confusion and because of pressure from feminist groups.
From an article from The Atlanta Journal (June 21, 1969) entitled, "Women Required to Cover Head, Vatican Insists", it appears that Pope Paul VI instructed one of his officials to clarify the Church's unchanged discipline regarding head coverings for women: "A Vatican official says there has been no change, as reported, in the Roman Catholic rule that women cover their head in church. The Rev. Annibale Bugnini, secretary of the New Congregation for Divine Worship, said the reports stemmed from a misunderstanding of a statement he made at a news conference in May. 'The rule has not been changed,' he said. 'It is a matter of general discipline.'"
Before the revision in 1983, Canon Law had stated that women must cover their heads. "... especially when they approach the holy table" (can. 1262.2). But in order to reduce such a growing collection of books, the new version of Canon Law was subjected to concise changes. In the process, mention of head coverings was omitted.
In 1970, Pope Paul VI promulgated the new Roman Missal, ignoring mention of women's veils. But at the time the missal was published, it didn't seem necessary to keep mandatory such an obvious and universal practice.
And mention in Canon Law or the Roman Missal is not necessary to the continuation of the tradition, for it is rooted in Scripture and has been practiced ever since the early Church. Indeed, Pope John Paul II affirmed that the real sources of canon law are the Sacred Tradition, especially as reflected in the ecumenical councils, and Sacred Scripture (O.S.V. Catholic Encyclopedia, p. 169).
SCRIPTURE
Sacred Scripture presents several reasons for wearing the veil. St. Paul tells us in his first letter to the Corinthians (11:1-16) that women must cover their heads because it is a Sacred Tradition commanded by Our Lord Himself and entrusted to Paul: "The things I am writing to you are the Lord's commandments" (1 Cor. 14:37).
DIVINE HIERARCHY
God has established a hierarchy, in both the natural and the religious spheres, in which the female is subject to the male. St. Paul writes in 1st Corinthians: "But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God." (1 Cor. 11:3)
And, in the institution of marriage, God gave the husband authority over the wife, but responsibility to her as well. Not only is he the family's decision maker, but he is also responsible for the material and the spiritual welfare of his wife and children. Man is not in this position to enslave or belittle the wife.
As the Bride (the Church) is subject to Jesus, women must wear the veil as a sign that they are subjected to men. "Let wives be subject to their husbands as to the Lord; because a husband is head of the wife, just as Christ is head of the Church" (Eph. 5:22-23). The man represents Jesus. Therefore he should not cover his head.
However, this subjection is not derogatory to women, because in God's kingdom everyone is subjected to a higher authority: "For as the woman is from the man, so also is the man through the woman, but all things are from God." (1 Cor. 11:12). Furthermore, the symbolism of the veil takes that which is invisible, the order established by God, and makes it visible. In the history of the Church, priestly vestments have played a similar symbolic role.
WOMEN'S HONOR
It is an honor to wear the veil. But by publicly repudiating it, a woman dishonors her feminine dignity, her sign of female subjection, just as the military officer is dishonored when he is stripped of his decorations.
The Roman Pontifical contains the imposing ceremonial of the consecration of the veils:
"Receive the sacred veil, that thou mayst be known to have despised the world, and to be truly, humbly, and with all thy heart subject to Christ as His bride; and may he defend thee from all evil, and bring thee to life eternal" (Pontificale Romanum, de benedictione).
St. Paul says an unveiled woman is a dishonor: "But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered disgraces here head, for it is the same as if she were shaven." (1 Cor. 11:5)
"BECAUSE OF THE ANGELS"
"That is why women ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels," wrote St. Paul (1 Cor. 11:10). The invisible hierarchy should be respected because the angels are present at Christian liturgical assemblies, offering with us the Holy Sacrifice with the honor due to Almighty God.
St. John the Apostle wrote:
"And another angel came and stood before the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense that he might offer it with the prayers of all before the throne." (Rev. 8:3, see also Matt. 18:10).
They are offended by a lack of reverence at Mass, just as they abhorred King Herod's acceptance of adoration from the people of Jerusalem:
"But immediately an angel of the Lord struck [Herod] down, because he had not given honor to God, and he was eaten by worms, and died." (Acts 12:23).
ANCIENT TRADITION
The custom of wearing the veil was maintained in the primitive churches of God (1 Cor. 11:16). We see this in the First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians.
The women of Corinth, beset by modern sensibilities, started coming to church without their heads covered. When St. Paul heard of their neglect, he wrote and urged them to keep the veil. According to St. Jerome's commentary Bible, he finally settled the matter by saying head covering was a custom of the primitive communities of Judea, "the churches of God" (1 Thess. 2:15, 3:6).
GOD'S COMMAND
Even today, some people erroneously believe that St. Paul based the tradition on his personal opinion. They think he did not intend it to be continued in the Universal Church, but only as a local custom. This argument, however, does not conform to the Pauline spirit. After all, it was Paul who stood before Peter to change Jewish traditions in Christian churches (Gal. 2:11-21).
St. Paul reminds them, "for I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it; but I received it by revelation of Jesus Christ" (Gal. 1:12), referring to the authority of his ministry, and veracity of his words. Our Lord warns us to obey His commandments:
"He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 5:19).
CONCLUSION
In summary, the reasons St. Paul advises women to cover their heads in church are:
1. Our Lord commanded it;
2. it is a visible sign of an invisible order established by God;
3. The angels at Mass are offended if women don't use it;
4. it is a ceremonial vestment;
5. it is our heritage.
Christian women around the world have other reasons to wear a hat, mantilla, rebozo, gele, scarf, shawl, or veil. Some wear it out of respect to God; others, to obey the Pope's request, or continue family traditions. But the most important reason of all is because Our Lord said: "If you love me keep my commandments." (John 14:15).
We should always be ready with our bridal veils, waiting for him and the promised wedding (Apoc. 22:17), following the example of our Blessed Mother Mary, who never appeared before the eyes of men but properly veiled.
To those who still think that the veil is an obsolete custom, remember that: "Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday and today, yes, and forever." (Heb. 13:8).

"Woman must cover her head. It is a mark of respect required in the House of God. This, the angels demand." - Our Lady, March 18, 1975
The amazing Bayside Prophecies...
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.
WOMEN MUST WEAR
"My child, tell all to act as good example in My Son's House. Women must wear a head covering in the holy places and in prayer. It is not because of custom; it is because the angels demand proper deportment during the Holy Sacrifice." - Our Lady, May 29, 1976
SIGN OF REVERENCE
"Observe: Women shall be meek in the presence of their husbands. We hear the call of 'liberation'! Whom shall woman be liberated to but satan!
"A man, as a figure of the Christ, my child, shall be the head of his household. So it is from the Lord.
"A woman shall adorn herself not in pearls and braided hair, but in goodness and piety and good example to her children. A woman will not expose her body as a pagan. What manner of example has she given to her children? Woe to the parent who brings scandal to her children!
"Woman, remove your arrogance! You are searching in darkness. As a sign of reverence, you will cover your head. It is not that I call it custom, my children; it is that the angels demand this in the presence of the Sacrifice, Mass!" - St. Paul, March 22, 1975
ST. THERESA
Veronica - St. Theresa is pointing to some who are approaching the altar railing, and she is pointing to their hair. There are five girls. They look like they haven't anything on their heads.. - Veronica, February 1, 1972
1 CORINTHIANS 11
Veronica - Now also in relation to a woman's head being covered during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and proper deportment within the portals of Holy Church where Jesus is residing. Now I am sure that our liberationists would not go along with us in this respect. However, this would actually signify that much of the liberation movement is being directed by satan, and not by God. Now the headdress for women--this is Saint Paul to the Corinthians, Chapter 11:
Now I praise you, brethren, because in all things you are mindful of me and hold fast my precepts as I gave them to you. But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered, disgraces his head. But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered disgraces her head, for it is the same as if she were shaven. A man indeed ought not to cover his head because he is the image and glory of God. But woman is the glory of man. For man is not from woman, but woman from man. (Made from man by God.) For man was not created for woman, but woman for man. This is why the woman ought to have a sign of authority over her head, because of the angels.
In other words, Saint Paul is saying that it's not just custom. This is the excuse given by the liberation movement to stop the head covering of women in the Church. Well, they say that it is custom only in Saint Paul's time. But that is not true because Saint Paul explains, and these are the words direct from God through Saint Paul, that you must have your head covered. It is proper deportment in the eyes of the angels. - Veronica, April 1, 1978
ST. PAUL: YOU DERIDE HIM
"You must read the Bible and act upon it. Cast not aside the teachings of the founders of My Son's Church. Saint Paul, you revile and deride him. You cast him aside, and why? So that you can write and rewrite the words of your God to suit your own basic carnal human nature." - Our Lady, July 25, 1977
RESPECT
"You will make it known to the world, My child, that the Father is much distressed by the manner in which His Son, My Son, comes to you in the Eucharist. Many are bringing Him with disrespect.
"Do not discount in your daily lives the little things, My children, for they add up and make a multitude of offenses to the Father. The angels command respect to My Son. You will cover your heads when you pray." - Our Lady, November 23, 1974
NOT BECAUSE OF FASHION
"My children, you must join your hands in reverence at the Sacrifice of My Son. It is an expression of love, gratitude, and respect. Reverence and respect and holiness must be returned to My Son's houses, churches throughout the world-reverence, holiness, and respect from the beginning to the end of the Sacred Service.
"Women must keep their heads covered, My child. It is not because of fashion or modes; it is because the Eternal Father and the angels demand proper deportment during the Holy Sacrifice. It offends the heart of My Son much to see that satan has taken away so much piety and holiness in His churches throughout the world." - Our Lady, September 6, 1975
MARK OF RESPECT
"Women must adorn themselves in modesty. Pagan practices of diabolical music is not condoned by the Eternal Father, nor shall We condone dancing and all manner of worldly entrance within the holy houses of God.
"Woman must cover her head. It is a mark of respect required in the House of God. This, the angels demand." - Our Lady, March 18, 1975
IRREVERENCE
"The irreverence given to My Son in His houses upon earth cry out to Heaven for vengeance! Women, you will not disport yourself in nakedness in My Son's House! You will cover your heads--not because you come in vanity, thinking that your hair is a beauty, or the crowning glory of your being! Look to your soul to be your crowning glory. Your hair will be covered with the worms just as your body will enter into the dust. Better that you spend your time shining your soul than glorifying your body.
"Cover your body before My Son! Do not defame and disgust Him by your presence and your acceptance of His divinity! Why, you are naked like pagans! Cover your heads! You do not follow the modernism and modes of an evil generation. No! The angels demand that all respect be given to the divinity of the Son of God in the houses throughout the world.
"Do not discount in your daily lives the little things, My children, for they add up and make a multitude of offenses to the Father. The angels command respect to My Son. You will cover your heads when you pray." - Our Lady, August 14, 1974
NOT A MERE CUSTOM
"My children, My Son, His heart is pierced by the manner in which many come to His House with disrespect, apathy, and using His House as a meeting place for all manner of abominations. In due respect on this night of the feast of the high angels in the eternal Kingdom, they demand--and Michael commands--that women must cover their heads during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It is not through custom that this is asked of you. Do not be deluded by satan, My children. Women must cover their heads in respect for the Sacrifice of My Son, in respect for all laws of your God and not of man; for man now, My children, is setting up his own laws, his own rules, and man shall destroy himself in this manner." - Our Lady, September 28, 1976
COMMAND OF THE ANGELS
"My heart is torn, My children, at the manner in which you do honor to My Son in His House! The angels demand proper deportment during the Holy Sacrifice of My Son. A woman must have her head covered. It is the command of the angels who are present at the Holy Sacrifice. All flesh and nakedness shall burn with the Ball of Redemption. Cover your bodies! They are temples of the Holy Ghost!" - Our Lady, November 19,
"My children, you must join your hands in reverence at the Sacrifice of My Son. It is an expression of love, gratitude, and respect. Reverence and respect and holiness must be returned to My Son's houses, churches throughout the world-reverence, holiness, and respect from the beginning to the end of the Sacred Service.

During the Second Vatican Council, a mob of reporters waited for news after a council meeting. One of them asked Msgr. Annibale Bugnini, then secretary of the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship, if women still had to wear a headcovering in church. He responded that the bishops were considering other issues, and women's veils were not on the agenda.
The next day, the international press announced throughout the world that women did not have to keep their heads covered in church anymore. A few days later, Msgr. Bugnini told the press he was misquoted and women must still wear the veil. But the press did not retract the error, and many women stopped wearing the veil as out of confusion and because of pressure from feminist groups.
From an article from The Atlanta Journal (June 21, 1969) entitled, "Women Required to Cover Head, Vatican Insists", it appears that Pope Paul VI instructed one of his officials to clarify the Church's unchanged discipline regarding head coverings for women: "A Vatican official says there has been no change, as reported, in the Roman Catholic rule that women cover their head in church. The Rev. Annibale Bugnini, secretary of the New Congregation for Divine Worship, said the reports stemmed from a misunderstanding of a statement he made at a news conference in May. 'The rule has not been changed,' he said. 'It is a matter of general discipline.'"
Before the revision in 1983, Canon Law had stated that women must cover their heads. "... especially when they approach the holy table" (can. 1262.2). But in order to reduce such a growing collection of books, the new version of Canon Law was subjected to concise changes. In the process, mention of head coverings was omitted.
In 1970, Pope Paul VI promulgated the new Roman Missal, ignoring mention of women's veils. But at the time the missal was published, it didn't seem necessary to keep mandatory such an obvious and universal practice.
And mention in Canon Law or the Roman Missal is not necessary to the continuation of the tradition, for it is rooted in Scripture and has been practiced ever since the early Church. Indeed, Pope John Paul II affirmed that the real sources of canon law are the Sacred Tradition, especially as reflected in the ecumenical councils, and Sacred Scripture (O.S.V. Catholic Encyclopedia, p. 169).
SCRIPTURE
Sacred Scripture presents several reasons for wearing the veil. St. Paul tells us in his first letter to the Corinthians (11:1-16) that women must cover their heads because it is a Sacred Tradition commanded by Our Lord Himself and entrusted to Paul: "The things I am writing to you are the Lord's commandments" (1 Cor. 14:37).
DIVINE HIERARCHY
God has established a hierarchy, in both the natural and the religious spheres, in which the female is subject to the male. St. Paul writes in 1st Corinthians: "But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God." (1 Cor. 11:3)
And, in the institution of marriage, God gave the husband authority over the wife, but responsibility to her as well. Not only is he the family's decision maker, but he is also responsible for the material and the spiritual welfare of his wife and children. Man is not in this position to enslave or belittle the wife.
As the Bride (the Church) is subject to Jesus, women must wear the veil as a sign that they are subjected to men. "Let wives be subject to their husbands as to the Lord; because a husband is head of the wife, just as Christ is head of the Church" (Eph. 5:22-23). The man represents Jesus. Therefore he should not cover his head.
However, this subjection is not derogatory to women, because in God's kingdom everyone is subjected to a higher authority: "For as the woman is from the man, so also is the man through the woman, but all things are from God." (1 Cor. 11:12). Furthermore, the symbolism of the veil takes that which is invisible, the order established by God, and makes it visible. In the history of the Church, priestly vestments have played a similar symbolic role.
WOMEN'S HONOR
It is an honor to wear the veil. But by publicly repudiating it, a woman dishonors her feminine dignity, her sign of female subjection, just as the military officer is dishonored when he is stripped of his decorations.
The Roman Pontifical contains the imposing ceremonial of the consecration of the veils:
"Receive the sacred veil, that thou mayst be known to have despised the world, and to be truly, humbly, and with all thy heart subject to Christ as His bride; and may he defend thee from all evil, and bring thee to life eternal" (Pontificale Romanum, de benedictione).
St. Paul says an unveiled woman is a dishonor: "But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered disgraces here head, for it is the same as if she were shaven." (1 Cor. 11:5)
"BECAUSE OF THE ANGELS"
"That is why women ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels," wrote St. Paul (1 Cor. 11:10). The invisible hierarchy should be respected because the angels are present at Christian liturgical assemblies, offering with us the Holy Sacrifice with the honor due to Almighty God.
St. John the Apostle wrote:
"And another angel came and stood before the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense that he might offer it with the prayers of all before the throne." (Rev. 8:3, see also Matt. 18:10).
They are offended by a lack of reverence at Mass, just as they abhorred King Herod's acceptance of adoration from the people of Jerusalem:
"But immediately an angel of the Lord struck [Herod] down, because he had not given honor to God, and he was eaten by worms, and died." (Acts 12:23).
ANCIENT TRADITION
The custom of wearing the veil was maintained in the primitive churches of God (1 Cor. 11:16). We see this in the First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians.
The women of Corinth, beset by modern sensibilities, started coming to church without their heads covered. When St. Paul heard of their neglect, he wrote and urged them to keep the veil. According to St. Jerome's commentary Bible, he finally settled the matter by saying head covering was a custom of the primitive communities of Judea, "the churches of God" (1 Thess. 2:15, 3:6).
GOD'S COMMAND
Even today, some people erroneously believe that St. Paul based the tradition on his personal opinion. They think he did not intend it to be continued in the Universal Church, but only as a local custom. This argument, however, does not conform to the Pauline spirit. After all, it was Paul who stood before Peter to change Jewish traditions in Christian churches (Gal. 2:11-21).
St. Paul reminds them, "for I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it; but I received it by revelation of Jesus Christ" (Gal. 1:12), referring to the authority of his ministry, and veracity of his words. Our Lord warns us to obey His commandments:
"He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 5:19).
CONCLUSION
In summary, the reasons St. Paul advises women to cover their heads in church are:
1. Our Lord commanded it;
2. it is a visible sign of an invisible order established by God;
3. The angels at Mass are offended if women don't use it;
4. it is a ceremonial vestment;
5. it is our heritage.
Christian women around the world have other reasons to wear a hat, mantilla, rebozo, gele, scarf, shawl, or veil. Some wear it out of respect to God; others, to obey the Pope's request, or continue family traditions. But the most important reason of all is because Our Lord said: "If you love me keep my commandments." (John 14:15).
We should always be ready with our bridal veils, waiting for him and the promised wedding (Apoc. 22:17), following the example of our Blessed Mother Mary, who never appeared before the eyes of men but properly veiled.
To those who still think that the veil is an obsolete custom, remember that: "Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday and today, yes, and forever." (Heb. 13:8).

HOLY COMMUNION ABUSES

7 Common Holy Communion Abuses...
"Communion in the hand has not been, and will not be accepted by Heaven. This is a sacrilege in the eyes of the Eternal Father, and must not be continued, for you only add to your punishment when you continue on in the ways that have been found to be unpleasing to the Eternal Father." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 30, 1984
Courageous Priest reported on May 30, 2011:
A Letter from The Cathedral Rector by Very Rev. Fr. John Lankeit, Rector, Ss. Simon & Jude Cathedral Phoenix, AZ January 30, 2011 to his parishioners.
Dear Parishioners,
I want to thank all of you who have recently started receiving Holy Communion on the tongue, not to mention those of you who already had been. This subject has generated a lot of buzz over the past few weeks, the vast majority of which has been overwhelmingly positive.
While my main objective in encouraging reception on the tongue is to deepen appreciation for the Eucharist, I also have a pastoral responsibility to eliminate abuses common to receiving in the hand. Such abuses are no doubt unintentional. Nevertheless, what I witness troubles me. And I’m not alone.
In 2004, responding to the problem of Eucharistic profanation, the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacrament released an official instruction entitled REDEMPTIONIS SACRAMENTUS: On certain matters to be observed or to be avoided regarding the Most Holy Eucharist. Regarding Holy Communion the document states:
“[S]pecial care should be taken to ensure that the host is consumed by the communicant in the presence of the minister, so that no one goes away carrying the Eucharistic species in his hand. If there is a risk of profanation, then Holy Communion should not be given in the hand to the faithful.” (Paragraph 92)
Here are 7 common Holy Communion profanations that I see all too frequently:
• Blessing oneself with the host before consuming it. (The act of blessing with the Eucharist is called “Benediction” and is reserved to clergy).
• Receiving the host in the palm of the hand, contorting that same hand until the host is controlled by the fingers, then consuming it (resembling a one-handed “watch-the-coin-disappear” magic trick).
• Popping the host into the mouth like a piece of popcorn.
• Attempting to receive with other items in the hands, like a dirty Kleenex or a Rosary.
• Receiving the host with dirty hands.
• Receiving the host, closing the hand around it, then letting the hand fall to the side (as if carrying a suitcase) while walking away and/or blessing oneself with the other hand.
• Walking away without consuming the host.
• Giving the host to someone else after receiving (including animals)…yes, it happens!
We would never treat a piece of GOLD with the same casualness –especially in this economy! Yet many treat the Eucharist “piece” of GOD with casualness at best, indifference and irreverence at worst. Of course, much abuse is due to ignorance, owing to poor catechesis, which is precisely why I have written about this issue for four consecutive weeks.
Yet we have another great incentive…
When Holy Communion is received on the tongue…every single one of these abuses is instantly eliminated!
The way we treat another person says more about our relationship with that person than any words we might say. This is especially true of our relationship with the Divine Person, Jesus Christ. So let us continually seek to increase our reverence for our Eucharistic Savior, and to eliminate anything that degrades the respect He deserves.
God’s Blessings…
my prayers…

"You must not take the Body of My Son in your hand! You open the door for the entrance of evil spirits to defile My Son's Body! The consecrated fingers of a duly ordained man of God, the priest, shall place My Son into your mouth, and you must absorb His Body with goodness and love." - Our Lady of the Roses, March 22, 1975
Our Lady of the Roses awesome Bayside Prophecies... http://www.tldm.org/../Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.
REAL PRESENCE
"You violate your sacred trust. You have taken the Body of your Creator, the Son of your God in the Trinity, and violated Him. You must do your eating at home! When you come to the great Sacrifice, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, you come in reverence. You must go down upon your knees and do penance now for the offenses to your God! ...
"As in the past, cannot you recognize the mystery of Heaven and earth? Did not the staff of Moses turn into a serpent in the will of God? Did not the river in Egypt turn into blood in the will of God? And cannot God, in His will, come to you changing the bread and wine into the actual Presence, the real Presence, the factual Presence of His Body and Blood?" - St. Michael, February 1, 1977
GOODNESS AND LOVE
"You must not take the Body of My Son in your hand! You open the door for the entrance of evil spirits to defile My Son's Body! The consecrated fingers of a duly ordained man of God, the priest, shall place My Son into your mouth, and you must absorb His Body with goodness and love." - Our Lady, March 22, 1975
SACRILEGE
"My Son is not pleased with the manner in which His Body and Blood is being given to all of the humans upon earth.
"Communion in the hand has not been, and will not be accepted by Heaven. This is a sacrilege in the eyes of the Eternal Father, and must not be continued, for you only add to your punishment when you continue on in the ways that have been found to be unpleasing to the Eternal Father." - Our Lady, June 30, 1984
MAN OF GOD
"A priest is a man of God, chosen solely from the world to be a representative of the Son of God.... As a man of God, he brings to you the Body and Blood of your Savior.
"I tell you, my brothers and sister, that none shall take in his or her hands the purified Body of your Savior! Only the consecrated fingers and hands of the representative of Christ the Lord shall give and bring this gift to mankind! - St. Theresa, October 2, 1975
THE LAST SUPPER
Veronica - I see a very large mural in the sky now. It's dark all about it. And I know it's a plaque; it's like a plaque up here in the sky, and it shows the twelve apostles during the Last Supper. I see great sadness in their faces because of the violation of the Host now. - September 7, 1977
SINISTER PLAN
"I ask you, My children--you ask Me many times in your prayers, shall you accept My Son's Body in your hands? I say no! And no again for reason!
"You cannot judge all those about you, My children, who have accepted this diabolical practice under the guise of leadership. No, My children, this was brought about to desecrate My Son, to take from Him the truth of His divine nature. No one who hears My voice must accept My Son's Body and Blood in the hands! The chalice shall turn, and you shall be bathed in His Blood!
"It was, My children, a sinister plan from the depths of hell to remove the knowledge of the divinity of My Son from among you." - Our Lady, February 10, 1978
DELUDED
"Again and again I wander to and fro directing My children to remain close to the Eucharist, the Bread of life. But do not become misguided: Do not accept My Son's Body in your hands.
"Satan, Lucifer, came as an angel of light and set his agents among the hierarchy of My Son's Church and deluded them. All manner of abominations are being committed upon My Son's Body now." - Our Lady, July 15, 1978
BLASPHEMY
"Many are giving My Body in a manner that can only be called blasphemy. Many are accepting My Body in the Eucharist in a manner that defames the Divinity, and also promotes unholiness, paganism, and impurity of heart and actions during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass." - Jesus, May 26, 1979
DESECRATION
"My child, you ask why I cry? I shed tears of great anguish. I watch anew the desecration to My Son's Body being committed upon earth. None shall place their hands upon His Body!
"My Son has given you in trust those He has chosen among mankind to represent Him-your priests. None others shall carry My Son to mankind! You shall not defile His Body by giving Him into the hands of women, or those that have not been prepared by the Father as legally-ordained priests in the houses of God-laziness, preoccupied with the world and the pleasures of the flesh!" - Our Lady, November 1, 1974
7 Common Holy Communion Abuses...
"Communion in the hand has not been, and will not be accepted by Heaven. This is a sacrilege in the eyes of the Eternal Father, and must not be continued, for you only add to your punishment when you continue on in the ways that have been found to be unpleasing to the Eternal Father." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 30, 1984
Courageous Priest reported on May 30, 2011:
A Letter from The Cathedral Rector by Very Rev. Fr. John Lankeit, Rector, Ss. Simon & Jude Cathedral Phoenix, AZ January 30, 2011 to his parishioners.
Dear Parishioners,
I want to thank all of you who have recently started receiving Holy Communion on the tongue, not to mention those of you who already had been. This subject has generated a lot of buzz over the past few weeks, the vast majority of which has been overwhelmingly positive.
While my main objective in encouraging reception on the tongue is to deepen appreciation for the Eucharist, I also have a pastoral responsibility to eliminate abuses common to receiving in the hand. Such abuses are no doubt unintentional. Nevertheless, what I witness troubles me. And I’m not alone.
In 2004, responding to the problem of Eucharistic profanation, the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacrament released an official instruction entitled REDEMPTIONIS SACRAMENTUS: On certain matters to be observed or to be avoided regarding the Most Holy Eucharist. Regarding Holy Communion the document states:
“[S]pecial care should be taken to ensure that the host is consumed by the communicant in the presence of the minister, so that no one goes away carrying the Eucharistic species in his hand. If there is a risk of profanation, then Holy Communion should not be given in the hand to the faithful.” (Paragraph 92)
Here are 7 common Holy Communion profanations that I see all too frequently:
• Blessing oneself with the host before consuming it. (The act of blessing with the Eucharist is called “Benediction” and is reserved to clergy).
• Receiving the host in the palm of the hand, contorting that same hand until the host is controlled by the fingers, then consuming it (resembling a one-handed “watch-the-coin-disappear” magic trick).
• Popping the host into the mouth like a piece of popcorn.
• Attempting to receive with other items in the hands, like a dirty Kleenex or a Rosary.
• Receiving the host with dirty hands.
• Receiving the host, closing the hand around it, then letting the hand fall to the side (as if carrying a suitcase) while walking away and/or blessing oneself with the other hand.
• Walking away without consuming the host.
• Giving the host to someone else after receiving (including animals)…yes, it happens!
We would never treat a piece of GOLD with the same casualness –especially in this economy! Yet many treat the Eucharist “piece” of GOD with casualness at best, indifference and irreverence at worst. Of course, much abuse is due to ignorance, owing to poor catechesis, which is precisely why I have written about this issue for four consecutive weeks.
Yet we have another great incentive…
When Holy Communion is received on the tongue…every single one of these abuses is instantly eliminated!
The way we treat another person says more about our relationship with that person than any words we might say. This is especially true of our relationship with the Divine Person, Jesus Christ. So let us continually seek to increase our reverence for our Eucharistic Savior, and to eliminate anything that degrades the respect He deserves.
God’s Blessings…
my prayers…

"You must not take the Body of My Son in your hand! You open the door for the entrance of evil spirits to defile My Son's Body! The consecrated fingers of a duly ordained man of God, the priest, shall place My Son into your mouth, and you must absorb His Body with goodness and love." - Our Lady of the Roses, March 22, 1975
Our Lady of the Roses awesome Bayside Prophecies... http://www.tldm.org/../Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.
REAL PRESENCE
"You violate your sacred trust. You have taken the Body of your Creator, the Son of your God in the Trinity, and violated Him. You must do your eating at home! When you come to the great Sacrifice, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, you come in reverence. You must go down upon your knees and do penance now for the offenses to your God! ...
"As in the past, cannot you recognize the mystery of Heaven and earth? Did not the staff of Moses turn into a serpent in the will of God? Did not the river in Egypt turn into blood in the will of God? And cannot God, in His will, come to you changing the bread and wine into the actual Presence, the real Presence, the factual Presence of His Body and Blood?" - St. Michael, February 1, 1977
GOODNESS AND LOVE
"You must not take the Body of My Son in your hand! You open the door for the entrance of evil spirits to defile My Son's Body! The consecrated fingers of a duly ordained man of God, the priest, shall place My Son into your mouth, and you must absorb His Body with goodness and love." - Our Lady, March 22, 1975
SACRILEGE
"My Son is not pleased with the manner in which His Body and Blood is being given to all of the humans upon earth.
"Communion in the hand has not been, and will not be accepted by Heaven. This is a sacrilege in the eyes of the Eternal Father, and must not be continued, for you only add to your punishment when you continue on in the ways that have been found to be unpleasing to the Eternal Father." - Our Lady, June 30, 1984
MAN OF GOD
"A priest is a man of God, chosen solely from the world to be a representative of the Son of God.... As a man of God, he brings to you the Body and Blood of your Savior.
"I tell you, my brothers and sister, that none shall take in his or her hands the purified Body of your Savior! Only the consecrated fingers and hands of the representative of Christ the Lord shall give and bring this gift to mankind! - St. Theresa, October 2, 1975
THE LAST SUPPER
Veronica - I see a very large mural in the sky now. It's dark all about it. And I know it's a plaque; it's like a plaque up here in the sky, and it shows the twelve apostles during the Last Supper. I see great sadness in their faces because of the violation of the Host now. - September 7, 1977
SINISTER PLAN
"I ask you, My children--you ask Me many times in your prayers, shall you accept My Son's Body in your hands? I say no! And no again for reason!
"You cannot judge all those about you, My children, who have accepted this diabolical practice under the guise of leadership. No, My children, this was brought about to desecrate My Son, to take from Him the truth of His divine nature. No one who hears My voice must accept My Son's Body and Blood in the hands! The chalice shall turn, and you shall be bathed in His Blood!
"It was, My children, a sinister plan from the depths of hell to remove the knowledge of the divinity of My Son from among you." - Our Lady, February 10, 1978
DELUDED
"Again and again I wander to and fro directing My children to remain close to the Eucharist, the Bread of life. But do not become misguided: Do not accept My Son's Body in your hands.
"Satan, Lucifer, came as an angel of light and set his agents among the hierarchy of My Son's Church and deluded them. All manner of abominations are being committed upon My Son's Body now." - Our Lady, July 15, 1978
BLASPHEMY
"Many are giving My Body in a manner that can only be called blasphemy. Many are accepting My Body in the Eucharist in a manner that defames the Divinity, and also promotes unholiness, paganism, and impurity of heart and actions during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass." - Jesus, May 26, 1979
DESECRATION
"My child, you ask why I cry? I shed tears of great anguish. I watch anew the desecration to My Son's Body being committed upon earth. None shall place their hands upon His Body!
"My Son has given you in trust those He has chosen among mankind to represent Him-your priests. None others shall carry My Son to mankind! You shall not defile His Body by giving Him into the hands of women, or those that have not been prepared by the Father as legally-ordained priests in the houses of God-laziness, preoccupied with the world and the pleasures of the flesh!" - Our Lady, November 1, 1974

The Twefth Imam or Mahdi, Islamic Messiah(antichrist)
These Last Days News - March 28, 2011
Iranian Video Says the Twelfth Imam or Mahdi, the Islamic Messiah, (the Antichrist) Is 'Near'...
The leaders of your country and the rulers of your world are faster and faster plunging forward, bringing in the reign of the evil one whom you will know as the Antichrist of one world. The plan for his rule has been set for many years." - Our Lady of the Roses, August 14, 1974
"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
CBN News - March 28, 2011
New evidence has emerged that the Iranian government sees the current unrest in the Middle East as a signal that the Mahdi--or Islamic messiah--is about to appear.
CBN News has obtained a never-before-seen video produced by the Iranian regime that says all the signs are moving into place -- and that Iran will soon help usher in the end times.
While the revolutionary movements gripping the Middle East have created uncertainty throughout the region, the video shows that the Iranian regime believes the chaos is divine proof that their ultimate victory is at hand.
'The Coming is Near'
The propaganda footage has reportedly been approved at the highest levels of the Iranian government.
It's called The Coming is Near and it describes current events in the Middle East as a prelude to the arrival of the mythical tweflth Imam or Mahdi -- the messiah figure who Islamic scriptures say will lead the armies of Islam to victory over all non-Muslims in the last days.
"This video has been produced by a group called the Conductors of the Coming, in connection with the Basiji -- the Iranian paramilitary force, and in collaboration with the Iranian president's office," said Reza Kahlil, a former member of Iran's Revolutionary Guards who shared the video with CBN News.
Kahlili, author of the book, A Time to Betray, worked as a double agent for the CIA inside the Iranian regime.
"Just a few weeks ago, Ahmadenijad's office screened this movie with much excitement for the clerics," Kahlili told CBN News. "The target audience is Muslims in the Middle East and around the world."
To watch the video in its entirety, visit Kahlili's website.
The video claims that Iran is destined to rise as a great power in the last days to help defeat America and Israel and usher in the return of the Mahdi. And it makes clear the Iranians believe that time is fast approaching.
"The Hadith have clearly described the events and the various transformations of countries in the Middle East and also that of Iran in the age of the coming," said a narrator, who went on to say that America's invasion of Iraq was foretold by Islamic scripture--and that the Mahdi will one day soon rule the world from Iraq.
Other 'Prophetic' Signs
The ongoing upheavals in other Middle Eastern countries like Yemen and Egypt--including the rise of the Muslim Brotherood -- are also analyzed as prophetic signs that the Mahdi is near -- so is the current poor health of the king of Saudi Arabia, an Iranian rival.
"Isn't the presence of Abdullah, his illness, and his uncertain condition, great news for those anxious for the coming?" asks the narrator.
Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khameini, and Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Iran's terrorist proxy Hezbollah, are hailed as pivotal end times players, whose rise was predicted in Islamic scriptures.
The same goes for Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadenijad, who the video says will conquer Jerusalem prior to the Mahdi's coming.
"I think it's a very grave development," Mideast expert Joel Rosenberg, author of The Twelfth Imam, told CBN News, "because it gives you a window into the thinking of the Iranian leadership: that they believe the time for war with Israel may be even sooner than others had imagined."
Kahlili says The Coming is Near will soon be distributed by the Iranian regime throughout the Middle East. He explained that their goal is to instigate further uprisings in Arab countries.
"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 of the Roses, March 18, 1978
The amazing Bayside Prophecies...
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.
MAN OF DECEPTION
"Yes, many will receive the manifestation of seeing with their human eyes these demonical creatures of hell. It is for the edification of mankind. There will be great mysteries; there will be great miracles set upon earth. However, My child, all must be wary because when he, the man of deception, is recognizable to mankind—as he will set you with number upon the path of deception—he, too, will be a figure of virtue. He will be covered as a sheep with robes of purity, but look into his heart, My child."
Veronica - Oh, I see a horrible, black-looking, ugly thing that was down there in the, in the pit. It's inside of this man who—outside he looks, he looks holy and human; but he's actually one of those things-he's actually a creature of hell.
Our Lady - "Now, My child, I will give you one secret unknown to many, but you must make it known to mankind. This man of deception shall try to follow My Son. He will convince many that he is the Messiah. You must make it known now that the Messiah will not come unless He comes down with the legions of angels from the heavens, as He ascended.
"Repeat anew, My child: this false messiah shall not be accepted upon earth. My Son, Jesus, is the only Messiah. He has already come to your earth, but He will return. But He will come down from the heavens as He ascended, with the legions of saints, those who have washed themselves clean with the Blood of the Lamb." - Our Lady, April 13, 1974
TIMES OF ANTICHRIST
"You are living now in the times known in your world as the Antichrist, against My Son. All who reject My Son as the Messiah cannot enter into the Kingdom! What fallacy is there being permitted in My Son's House! You are uniting unbelievers for your own destruction. My Son founded His House upon earth. You will not bring in unbelievers and change it! You will not convert souls by permissiveness. You will destroy! You feed the bodies and you destroy the souls.
"We shall rise up among you—My Son has a plan—the latter day saints, the saints of the last days. Our armies, My child, are building up to fight satan. Know that the eventual victory is with Us. With this knowledge, go forward with great hope and perseverance. Accept all of the scorn of the world, all the rejection of mankind; for, My child, My own will know Me." - Our Lady, July 15, 1974
FLEE FROM THEM
"Remember, My children, My Son shall return only in the manner in which He ascended. He will descend to earth and all will see Him. Do not accept the false christs who will be sent among you. They are agents of hell! Turn from them! Flee from them! You will know them by their fruits, My children. I tell you this: you shall not be kept in darkness. By their fruits will they be known." - Our Lady, March 29, 1975
WITH POWERS OF SATAN
"I warn you now: beware and watch, for one will come among you with the powers of satan. Know that he shall say to you, 'I am out in the field. Come to me.' But you shall not go. Others will say to you: 'Go! I have seen him. He is yonder, over beyond the building.' You will say: 'No. I have not seen him.' For I shall come to you in the like manner in which I ascended. I shall descend with a roar of triumph from the multitudes of Heaven. We shall come in great victory." - Jesus, January 31, 1976
READ THE REVELATIONS
"You must remember—do not be deceived, My children, by those who claim to be the Christ, for they will say, 'Come out to the field, for he is there. Come out to the barn! Come into the centers!' But no, My children, My Son shall come as He ascended. He will come down from the sky, shouting with a call of triumph to all. He will come down with the legions from Heaven of angels and all of the souls who have bathed themselves in His Blood and now wear the garments of light and life.
"Wait and watch, My children; pray much, for the Book of life is unfolding; the pages are turning. You are truly in the days of the Apocalypse. Read the Revelations, My children, and know what lies ahead. As you were told in the past, much will be opened to you, for the days of the Armageddon are here. Read the Revelations, your Apocalypse, My children. Saint John was given the knowledge to reveal to you the days in which you are living. Recognize the signs of your time." - Our Lady, August 21, 1975
DO NOT BE BLINDED
"I must caution you not to be led astray by the false messiahs upon your world. Do not be blinded by their miracles. You will understand now and keep it in your hearts that My Son shall return the manner in which He ascended. He will descend to you from the sky. So, if one says to you: 'Come, he is here. I will take you to him.' Do not go! If they say to you: 'He is out in the field. Come, I will take you to him.' You will not go. For you will know when My Son arrives. He will come down with the angels with a loud shout of triumph to set your world in order. Prior to this time, My child, your world will be in great chaos. War upon war, destruction from the Ball of Redemption!" - Our Lady, March 18, 1975
REJECT THEM
"I must caution you in the days ahead to look not in vain for the coming of My Son. There will be many false christs among you. He will come to you in only one way: descending from Heaven as He ascended into Heaven, and He will come accompanied with the forces, the warriors of Heaven and the saints. Remember well, many false christs will come into your world. Reject them! Do not be misled by their false miracles. Reject them, knowing that Jesus will come down in view of all with the saints and the angels." - Our Lady, February 10, 1974
ACCEPT NONE
"There will be many among you who will claim to be the Christ. Remember, My children, My Son shall return only the way He left. As He ascended into the heavens, He will come down, return, descend from the heavens with the armies of Heaven behind Him. Accept none who will pass themselves off to you as the Christ, the living God! Reject these creatures of hell in human form. Reject them, though they may come to you with great powers of satan." - Our Lady, September 7, 1974
OPEN YOUR EYES
"False christs shall walk among you, teaching error. This deception and error has entered also into My Son's houses throughout the world. Open your eyes! Take the blindness from your hearts! You have been given the truth. You will act upon it. Man in his arrogance seeks to change the word of God. He is being deceived by satan, the adversary." - Our Lady, December 28, 1974
LYING TEACHERS
"There are many now false christs upon earth. There are many lying teachers, false teachers. All this is but the surface indications for all to see of the state of the world in spiritual darkness." - Our Lady, July 25, 1978
SIGNS OF THE LAST DAYS
"There will be many christs upon earth—those who call themselves Christ. But beware; do not listen to them. How often have I warned you in the past to beware of false prophets and those who will claim to be Christ. Only those who are ignorant and have no basic foundation of the Faith could fall prey to their beguileness.
"Because of the fact that too few are given-giving out the Message from Heaven to the peoples, My child, I wish you to open the Bible, the Book of life, and read what I point out to you."
Veronica - The Signs of the Last Days—Matthew.
Oh, I don't—Blessed Mother . . . the chapter? Oh, Matthew 24—The Signs of the Last Days.
Verse 23 - "Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is Christ,' or, 'There He is,' do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will arise, and will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told it to you beforehand. If, therefore, they say to you, 'Behold, he is in the desert,' go not forth; 'Behold, he is in the inner chambers,' do not believe it. For as the lightning comes forth from the east and shines even to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.
"But immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken. And then there will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven; and then will all tribes of the earth mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven with great power and majesty. And He will send forth His angels with a trumpet and a great sound, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, and from one end of the heavens to the other."
Veronica - And we will repeat again in verse 5 of St. Matthew, Chapter 24.
"For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. For you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. Take care that you do not be alarmed, for these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be pestilences and famines and earthquakes in various places. But all these things are the beginnings of the sorrows.
"And many of them shall fall away, many will fall away and will betray one another, and will hate one another. And many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray. And because iniquity will abound, [things will become so bad] the charity of many will grow cold. [One will in that way be afraid to even trust your neighbor or even trust anyone out on the street. That's how bad the evil will abound.] But whoever perseveres to the end, [trusting in Jesus] shall be saved. And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in the whole world, for a witness to all the nations; and then will come the end." - Our Lady, June 18, 1982
WILL WALK AMONG YOU
"Do not fall victim to those who will make claims of being My Son; for you will know when My Son arrives, for He will come down from the heavens with a shout of glory and all the forces of Heaven. No man shall not be aware of His entrance. So do not become deluded by those false christs that will walk among you." - Our Lady, October 1, 1977

"I must caution you not to be led astray by the false messiahs upon your world. Do not be blinded by their miracles. You will understand now and keep it in your hearts that My Son shall return the manner in which He ascended. He will descend to you from the sky. So, if one says to you: 'Come, he is here. I will take you to him.' Do not go! If they say to you: 'He is out in the field. Come, I will take you to him.' You will not go. For you will know when My Son arrives. He will come down with the angels with a loud shout of triumph to set your world in order. Prior to this time, My child, your world will be in great chaos. War upon war, destruction from the Ball of Redemption!" - Our Lady, March 18, 1975
REJECT THEM
"I must caution you in the days ahead to look not in vain for the coming of My Son. There will be many false christs among you. He will come to you in only one way: descending from Heaven as He ascended into Heaven, and He will come accompanied with the forces, the warriors of Heaven and the saints. Remember well, many false christs will come into your world. Reject them! Do not be misled by their false miracles. Reject them, knowing that Jesus will come down in view of all with the saints and the angels." - Our Lady, February 10, 1974
ACCEPT NONE
"There will be many among you who will claim to be the Christ. Remember, My children, My Son shall return only the way He left. As He ascended into the heavens, He will come down, return, descend from the heavens with the armies of Heaven behind Him. Accept none who will pass themselves off to you as the Christ, the living God! Reject these creatures of hell in human form. Reject them, though they may come to you with great powers of satan." - Our Lady, September 7, 1974
OPEN YOUR EYES
"False christs shall walk among you, teaching error. This deception and error has entered also into My Son's houses throughout the world. Open your eyes! Take the blindness from your hearts! You have been given the truth. You will act upon it. Man in his arrogance seeks to change the word of God. He is being deceived by satan, the adversary." - Our Lady, December 28, 1974
LYING TEACHERS
"There are many now false christs upon earth. There are many lying teachers, false teachers. All this is but the surface indications for all to see of the state of the world in spiritual darkness." - Our Lady, July 25, 1978
SIGNS OF THE LAST DAYS
"There will be many christs upon earth—those who call themselves Christ. But beware; do not listen to them. How often have I warned you in the past to beware of false prophets and those who will claim to be Christ. Only those who are ignorant and have no basic foundation of the Faith could fall prey to their beguileness.
"Because of the fact that too few are given-giving out the Message from Heaven to the peoples, My child, I wish you to open the Bible, the Book of life, and read what I point out to you."
Veronica - The Signs of the Last Days—Matthew.
Oh, I don't—Blessed Mother . . . the chapter? Oh, Matthew 24—The Signs of the Last Days.
Verse 23 - "Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is Christ,' or, 'There He is,' do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will arise, and will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told it to you beforehand. If, therefore, they say to you, 'Behold, he is in the desert,' go not forth; 'Behold, he is in the inner chambers,' do not believe it. For as the lightning comes forth from the east and shines even to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.
"But immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken. And then there will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven; and then will all tribes of the earth mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven with great power and majesty. And He will send forth His angels with a trumpet and a great sound, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, and from one end of the heavens to the other."
Veronica - And we will repeat again in verse 5 of St. Matthew, Chapter 24.
"For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. For you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. Take care that you do not be alarmed, for these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be pestilences and famines and earthquakes in various places. But all these things are the beginnings of the sorrows.
"And many of them shall fall away, many will fall away and will betray one another, and will hate one another. And many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray. And because iniquity will abound, [things will become so bad] the charity of many will grow cold. [One will in that way be afraid to even trust your neighbor or even trust anyone out on the street. That's how bad the evil will abound.] But whoever perseveres to the end, [trusting in Jesus] shall be saved. And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in the whole world, for a witness to all the nations; and then will come the end." - Our Lady, June 18, 1982
WILL WALK AMONG YOU
"Do not fall victim to those who will make claims of being My Son; for you will know when My Son arrives, for He will come down from the heavens with a shout of glory and all the forces of Heaven. No man shall not be aware of His entrance. So do not become deluded by those false christs that will walk among you." - Our Lady, October 1, 1977

PepsiCo, Kraft Foods, and Nestlé are Testing the Use of Aborted Fetal Cells for Food Flavor Enhancement...
These Last Days News - April 1, 2011
"Every man, woman, and child of the age of reason knows right from wrong, for he has been given an inborn conscience. At the moment of his conception life is within the womb, and at the moment of conception a life is forming, regardless of what the agents of hell now pollute the minds of mankind with, creating murders of the young! I say unto you, life begins at the moment of conception and all who extinguish this light are murderers, and without repentance shall be condemned to hell!" - Jesus, June 18, 1977
LifeSiteNews.com reported on 03/29/11 at 4:16 pm:
LARGO, Florida, March 29, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Pepsico, Kraft Foods, and Nestlé are among the corporations partnered with a biotech company found using aborted fetal cell lines to test food flavor enhancers, according to a pro-life watchdog group.
The internationally recognized biotech company, Senomyx, boasts innovation and success in “flavour programs” designed to reduce MSG, sugar and salt in food and beverage products. Senomyx notes their collaborators provide them research and development funding plus royalties on sales of products using their flavor ingredients.
Pro-life watchdog group, Children of God for Life (CGL), has called upon the public to target the major corporations in a boycott, unless the company ceases to use aborted fetal cell lines in their product testing.
“Using isolated human taste receptors,” the Senomyx website claims, “we created proprietary taste receptor-based assay systems that provide a biochemical or electronic readout when a flavor ingredient interacts with the receptor.”
“What they do not tell the public is that they are using HEK 293 – human embryonic kidney cells taken from an electively aborted baby to produce those receptors,” stated Debi Vinnedge, Executive Director for CGL, the watch dog group that has been monitoring the use of aborted fetal material in medical products and cosmetics for years.
“They could have easily chosen COS (monkey) cells, Chinese Hamster Ovary cells, insect cells or other morally obtained human cells expressing the G protein for taste receptors,” Vinnedge added.
Responses from major corporations to CGL’s letter campaign succeeded in warning the pro-life watchdog that these companies would need significant public pressure to admit involvement in and convince them of the need to change Senomyx’s unethical testing methods.
After three letters, Nestlé finally admitted the truth about their relationship with Senomyx, noting the cell line was “well established in scientific research”.
Pepsico wrote: “We hope you are reassured to learn that our collaboration with Senomyx is strictly limited to creating lower-calorie, great-tasting beverages for consumers. This will help us achieve our commitment to reduce added sugar per serving by 25% in key brands in key markets over the next decade and ultimately help people live healthier lives.”
“If enough people voice their outrage and intent to boycott these consumer products, it can be highly effective in convincing Senomyx to change their methods”, Vinnedge noted. “Otherwise, we will be buying Coca-Cola, Lipton soups and Hershey products!”
Note: This article originally stated, based on information provided by CGL, that Solae and Campbell soup were also partnered with Senomyx. However, LSN has since learned that while both companies were in the past partnered with Senomyx, they no longer have a relationship with the company.

"Our hearts are torn because of the wanton murder of the young by evil man. Abortion, My children, is murder, the most foulest of deeds, that is punishable by death! And what is worse than death of the soul?
"I say unto you, as your Mother, that any man or woman who performs or takes part of this abomination of the murder of the unborn shall be given a heavy penance upon earth, or if this penance is not given upon earth, that person found guilty in the eyes of his God shall suffer eternal damnation in the fires of hell." - Our Lady of the Roses, December 28, 1976
The awesome Bayside Prophecies... http://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:
SIN OF OMISSION
"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
U.S. SHALL BE FIRST STRUCK
"One of the reasons the Eternal Father chose your city and your state for My appearance was because of abortion, the murder of the holy innocents. Your nation, without repentance, shall be the first struck." - Our Lady, March 15, 1978
THE UNITED STATES SHALL FALL
"How can a great country like the United States fall, you say, My child? You ask Me in your heart. I read your heart. I will tell you why. Because they have given themselves over to satan. When a country has lost its morality and seeks the pleasures of the flesh, giving over, themselves over, to all manner of abominations, like homosexuality, and condoning this up the highest courts of the land, then that country shall fall." - Our Lady of the Roses, November 1, 1985
DOCTORS
"Doctors now are profaning their profession, those who have given themselves over to destroying human life in abortions." - Jesus, June 6, 1987
FOULEST OF DEEDS
"Our hearts are torn because of the wanton murder of the young by evil man. Abortion, My children, is murder, the most foulest of deeds, that is punishable by death! And what is worse than death of the soul?
"I say unto you, as your Mother, that any man or woman who performs or takes part of this abomination of the murder of the unborn shall be given a heavy penance upon earth, or if this penance is not given upon earth, that person found guilty in the eyes of his God shall suffer eternal damnation in the fires of hell." - Our Lady, December 28, 1976
DESTROYED
"All who become part of or condone abortion, the murder of the young, shall be destroyed!" - Jesus, June 2, 1979
HUMAN LIFE IS SACRED
"The Eternal Father command that you stop these murders at once! You will not destroy the lives of the unborn. Human life is sacred in the eyes of your God. No man has the right to destroy a life. The Father, He sends this life to you, and only He will decide when it will return back to the Kingdom.
"Do not, My children, be deceived by the words of the evil ones about you who cry to you of no space left for man. There is space, for My Father has a plan for every life He sends." - Our Lady, August 5, 1971
WILL NEVER BE 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
GOVERNMENT
"For that one reason among many, the United States will suffer unless there is placed into your government a group that fears the Lord if they cannot love the Lord. They will fear Him and find measures to stop the slaughter of the unborn." - Our Lady, April 14, 1984
NUNS
"That is what makes My heart ache, My child. That is one of the reasons Theresa is crying constantly when she looks into the convents and sees what is going on. Many now believe in abortion, the murders of the children; and many have committed this act upon themselves." - Jesus, October 1, 1988
SIXTY MILLION
"I say this for this reason: the Eternal Father is much disturbed at the numbers of abortions being committed throughout your country and the world. These numbers go upwards to fifty to sixty million in one year throughout the world." - Our Lady, June 18, 1986
TREATED AS GARBAGE
"O My child, My tears fall upon you all when I see all of the innocent little babies being slaughtered . . . cast into garbage pails like nothing but dirt and scum. They are living human beings! And all murderers shall get their just recompense." - Our Lady, March 18, 1983
BOMBS IN THE UNITED STATES
"These interlopers upon the serenity of the United States have dark skins.... With their plans there will be bombs placed in strategic places and many shall die at the hands of these ruffians....
"One big reason for permitting this disaster in New York would be the abortion mills throughout the city and the country." - Jesus, October 1, 1988
HOLY SPIRIT
"At the time of conception, the Holy Spirit makes the child, and the breath of the Almighty gives it life." - Our Lady, June 18, 1991
LIMBO
"And what, My children, are We going to do with all the aborted babies? O My child, I know you feel as I do, for I can see the great distress on your face. What are We going to do, My child? Do you understand when they come to Us, they must go to Limbo? They are in Heaven, a happy place, but they cannot see God." - Our Lady, October 2, 1987
SORROWFULLY
"Sorrowfully, the penance that is to come upon the world for the murders of the unborn shall be a chastisement far greater in severity than man has ever witnessed in the past nor ever shall pass through again. Your world is plunging into a deep chasm of suffering and destruction." - Our Lady, May 20, 1978
OATH
"Your once loyal to the oath of a doctor, your once loyal doctors are now butchers! For money they kill the young!" - Our Lady, February 10, 1978
WOE TO THE WOMAN
"Know, My child, this simple lesson, that in these days of the latter times, women will seek to cast off their role as mother and a woman. Women will cast it off under the direction of satan, and murder her children. Woe to the woman who does not repent of this vile abomination! She has walked the road to eternal damnation and hell. Repent, O woman, or forever be lost!" - Our Lady, March 18, 1975
"Every man, woman, and child of the age of reason knows right from wrong, for he has been given an inborn conscience. At the moment of his conception life is within the womb, and at the moment of conception a life is forming, regardless of what the agents of hell now pollute the minds of mankind with, creating murders of the young!

The Coming Earth Shaking Events Upon Mankind
Introduction
Veronica Lueken of Bayside, New York, receives the most incredible prophecies from Heaven about the last days before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. These Bayside Prophecies are a continuation and expansion of the Fatima Prophecies given in 1917. The Bayside Prophecies are the unrevealed Third Secret of Fatima. This pamphlet is summary of the great events to come upon mankind now. Every person in the world will be affected by these prophecies and that means you and I. These prophecies will prepare you and protect you in the days ahead.
I. Revolution in Africa
Jesus - "My child, I wish you to view one scene. You will hold your crucifix and you will not, My child, pass out."
Veronica - Over on the left side, I see...I know it's Africa. It's all in flames. I've seen the flames before, but this is horrible. They're going wild; they all look dark-skinned, yet they're killing each other.
Jesus - "My child, you see war, the beginning of a war. It will be father against son, mother against daughter, and satan will be in their midst. Those who have the power are exercising it now in the wrong direction, My children. Better that they take the monies coming to them from out of the world, better that they try to construct a country with joy and happiness and peace among the brothers." (7-25-85)
Veronica - High up in the sky, I see a very large globe. It's a globe of the world. It's becoming very illuminated. And as Our Lady turns, frantically She is waving to a side of the globe. And She's going over, with approval from Jesus - She had asked him - I couldn't hear what She was saying, but I could hear the drone-like of Her voice. And Jesus is nodding, yes, to go over. Our Lady is approaching the globe of the earth. It is an actual globe, as though taken from space, that only Heaven could present to us this evening. Our Lady is pointing to Africa. I see Africa with a blackness, starting in the southern part, and going up and up.
Africa - War, Famine and Droughts
Jesus - "And there will be, also, great warfare in Africa - famine and warfare, droughts. O My children, all of these, with wars included, are allowed to come upon you so that you may understand and learn the hard way that there is a God - One who could stop the massacres; One who could stop all the suffering upon earth. However, it is a test for all mankind; for by this test, many shall be cleansed. O My children, My desperate children, I hear your voices coming up to Us, and My Mother sheds tears of pity for you.
"Look, My children, beyond where My Mother is standing; look carefully, and you will see the globe of the world, as it starts to turn."
Russia on the March
Veronica - And now it stops on a massive nation. I see men in uniform, doing what appears to be a goose step - that is the only way I can explain it. And now I see them marching, six abreast, row after row, across nations and countries.
Now Our Lady is motioning to me, and touching Her lips. Our Lady is saying:
Our Lady - "This, My child, is reason for a dirge. For this nation of Russia shall bring much sorrow to the world. In many years past, I begged of you to convert Russia, but, instead, there is a fear of Russia that should not be. There is only one individual to fear in your world, and that could be, My child and My children, the fear of an angry God." (10-5-85)
Our Lady - "Look over, My child, to your left. Yes, that is true: you are looking at Africa now, My child, another map. And what do you see, My child?"
Veronica - I see all flames. And I see many people who are hungry. I see babies with their stomachs all swelled up; and babies with their bones sticking out of their skins. And to think...
Our Blessed Mother is crying. She's touching Her lips now.
Our Lady - "My child, and to think how much food is being wasted in your country and the affluent countries of the world. One little morsel could keep a child from starving to death.
"If you think that this could not happen to your country, you are mistaken, My child. If you think this cannot happen, I must tell you now that there are still many who are hungry in your country this evening. You see, My child, man is always self-seeking, and cannot see what lies ahead of him." (11-1-85)
Veronica - Now Jesus is going backwards into the sky. He's pointing with His right hand up over the right side of the sky, and there is appearing a very large globe, a ball-like globe, with a cross upon it. And over on the right side is what appears to be a stone figure, but I don't know what it means. It looks like an iron cross with a swastika in the center of it, one of those figures, swastikas, in the center of the iron cross. And then, over on the left side, as you pass the ball with the cross on the top, on the left side, is the hammer and the sickle, the sign of communism and slavery.
Now, the hammer and the sickle now is floating. It seems to have lost its moorings. It's floating over, over Our Lady's statue, and now I can see the whole continent of Africa. And the hammer and the sickle now is floating down. It's in the southern part of Africa. Now I see it's going north. And I see blackness. Oh, it's like the continent is going into darkness. It's a very frightening-looking sight!
I see people fighting. I see nuns running, and priests running. And I see mothers with children running. They're both black, they're white. They're running. And I see now red flags over buildings, a menacing-looking blood-red flag. (3-18-77)
Now Our Lady is pointing to the sky. ‘W 3’ is written in the sky. ‘W 3’ in black lettering. It's very, kind of ominous looking, frightening.
Our Lady - "War, My child and My children, many wars, much suffering will be set upon the world. Wars are a punishment for man's sins."
Veronica - Now there is forming in the sky the outline of a country. I can see it; it's Africa, the whole continent of Africa. And it's very frightening. I see people in black robes, like they look like a grim reaper. They look terrible, death-like faces, skulls in black robes. And they've got what looks to be a very large sickle in their hands. Oh, they're the picture of death. Oh, my! (4-9-77)
Now Our Lady is pointing over to the sky, and as I look over to where She’s pointing, I see great multitudes of people; but they're fighting. I know it's some kind of a war going on. Now their skin is darker, though not black like in Africa. But they are actually killing each other. And I hear a voice from beyond the sky, saying:
Eternal Father - "Father against son, mother against daughter. It will be one of the greatest catastrophes that the world has ever seen." (10-6-88)
Veronica - Now Michael is pointing with his hand over beyond the huge cross. Now the cross is beginning to fade and I see a large map and Michael is pointing. It's Africa. I recognize the map.
Michael - "Observe the course of history,My child. This country will fall to the forces of evil and give itself into the reign of what you have chosen to call, the Antichrist." (2-1-75)
Revelations
Our Lady - "You must read your Bible every day, even a short verse, My children. Read your Bible and learn by it. The Revelations, the Apocalypse of St. John, the scrolls are unfurling." (5-27-78)
St. Michael - "My child, We have asked you to send the word to mankind that they will read in the book of life, the Bible, the words given to them that will fulfill the prophecy of the latter days - Apocalypse. You are living the days of the Revelations. Read them and be knowledgeable, and you will not be caught without the light." (6-8-74)
II. Revolution in Western Europe
Veronica - Our Lady is pointing over now to Her left side, that would be our right side, and over... I can see a map, and I know it's a map of Europe, Western Europe. There's something going on there.
War in West Germany
Our Lady - "It has not started, My child, but there will be great confusion, and war shall break out in the western part of Germany." (6-30-84)
Prayers Needed for Portugal and Spain
Our Lady - "There is much, My child, that cannot be revealed at this time. You must remain silent.
"There are many prayers, My child, being offered for the repatriation of the country Portugal. Unless there is a measure of prayers in accordance with the balance set by the Eternal Father, the forces of evil shall take over the beautiful land of Portugal and enter upon Spain. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer." (9-13-75)
Our Lady - "The destruction is fast approaching mankind. There is nothing that Satan will not do to seduce the nations. Awaken now from your lethargy, your love of riches; open your eyes to the truth!”
Veronica - Oh, now I see - Our Lady is pointing over and there is - oh my goodness! - it looks like people are fighting. Oh! It's a terrible war! Oh! It's a terrible war! Oh! there's so much blood! And I see a stream of blood and it's going across the waters, and it looks like Italy...and France. Oh my! Now Our Lady is coming forward, and She's placing upon Her head a black shawl:
Our Lady - "Yes, My child, much blood will be shed upon the earth. Many will be martyred for the cause of My Son before this battle is over." (6-15-74)
III. Revolution in Italy and the Pope Flees Rome
Rome to Go Through Labor Pains
Our Lady - "The Eternal City of Rome shall go through labor pains. The struggle shall lead to blood within the streets. There shall be a war among your clergy. It shall be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal for 666 has entered upon Rome. I repeat, My children: awaken from your slumber! 666, the forces and agents of Satan, have entered upon Rome!
"Your Father, your Holy Father, Pope Paul, is a prisoner in his own House, his Church. Recognize the signs about you; do not be deluded by the mockers who cast aside My direction. You must all pray a constant vigilance of prayer for your Vicar. The agents of 666 have already chosen his successor, My children." (7-15-76)
Jesus - "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." (8-21-76)
Blood Shall Flow in the Streets
Our Lady - "The forces, the red forces, are gathering within the Eternal City of Rome and throughout all of Europe, My children. Unless man turns back quickly, blood shall flow in the streets. Revolution shall come, and many shall die. The world is entering a time of great trial. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer, My children." (9-7-76)
Voice - "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth! Blood baths in the Eternal City! Blood will flow through the streets, Revolution and death! Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitants of the earth!" (11-1-74)
A Great Revolution in Rome
Our Lady - "There will be a great revolution in Rome, in Italy, and many countries in Europe, My child, because the man of sin is preparing the way. The forces of communism are gaining and will enter upon the Seat of Peter. You will recognize, My children, by the directions that shall come from Rome." (3-25-78)
Veronica - Our Lady pointed to two maps in the sky. One is of Africa. Our Lady said, "There will be great strife in the dark lands." Then, a map with a boot: Italy. Flames were rising from the boot. She says, "Great revolution! Sadness to all heaven's heart!" (9-28-72)
Our Lady - "Oh, My child, how many tears of sorrow do I shed for what is coming upon your Holy Father and Our Vicar, Pope Paul VI, in the Eternal City of Rome! The Eternal Father in Heaven is watching as mankind is setting himself fast upon a path of schism. There will be much strife within the Eternal City, My child. You must keep a constant vigilance of prayer."
(4-10-76)
St. Michael - "Discord and strife, and blood shall flow in the streets with revolution. The Eternal City of Rome shall be purged - communism."
(11-22-76)
Revolution in Rome
Our Lady - "Rome shall soon have a blood bath; Rome shall suffer in revolution. And why, My children, why must this chastisement come upon the Eternal City? Because they have turned from their God! Too few do penance and atonement! Prayer has been discarded for all materialism and worldly knowledge. Men shall be eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the fires sweep them away!" (6-16-77)
Jesus - "Rome will undergo a great trial with revolution and bloodshed. Pray, My children, a constant vigilance of prayer. Sin will accelerate until the world shall be steeped in blood baths and insanity." (6-4-77)
Veronica - Our Lady is now moving Her head saying, ”Yes.” Our Lady appears very sad. Now She's pointing upward to the sky and She's saying: "Communism is the scourge of mankind. Blood and revolution." (6-24-76)
Our Lady - "My children, you must keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your country and the world. Pray for your priests. Pray for the Holy Father, Pope Paul in Rome, for Rome shall also be bathed in blood.
"No nation upon earth shall escape the chastisement. Every nation has fallen short of honor to their God. Every nation has succumbed to itching ears of novelty, bringing in humanism, and modernism, leading to soul destruction." (2-1-78)
IV. Great Warning for the World
When You See the Holy Father Fleeing ...
Jesus - "My child, you speculate much about the coming Warning. I have asked you many times not to speculate on dates, but I give you one indication that the time is ripe. When you see, when you hear, when you feel the revolution in Rome, when you see the Holy Father fleeing, seeking a refuge in another land, know that the time is ripe. But beg and plead that your good Pontiff does not leave Rome, for he will allow the man of dark secrets to capture his throne." (9-14-76)
The Sky Shall Roll Back Like a Scroll
Our Lady - "There will be a tremendous explosion, and the sky shall roll back like a scroll. This force shall go within the very core of the human. He will understand his offenses to his God. However, this warning will be of short duration, and many shall continue upon their road to perdition, so hard are the hearts hardened now, My child." (6-12-76)
Apocalypse Chapter 6, Verse 14
"And Heaven passed away as a scroll that is rolled up."
Beware of the Sunrise!
Our Lady - "As the day follows night, so shall this Warning follow soon. Beware of the sunrise! Do not look up to the sky - the flash! Beware of the sunrise! Do not look up to the sky - the flash! Close your windows; draw your shades, remain inside. Do not venture outside your door, or you will not return. Pray! Prostrate yourselves upon your floors! Pray with arms outstretched, and beg for mercy of your God the Father.
"Do not seek to receive your animals into your homes, for the animals of those who have remained of well spirit will be taken care of.
Part of a comet hits the sun…
Veronica - Oh! Oh! I see the sky; it's becoming a very, very bright red, almost an orange, a red - orange. And it's like I'm suspended, and the light is so bright it hurts my eyes. And I see this huge ball. Now in the center - it's, it's a gray colored ball, almost - oh, I don't know what it's made of, but a rock - like formation. But as it's turning now, it's beginning to change color, becoming a purplish, hazy, orange - looking ball. And now it's beginning to gather great speed. And as it's going faster across the sky, part of it has broken off now, and it's going now behind the sun. I see the huge ball of the sun. It's a ball of fire. And this is another ball of fire. And a piece now is broken off, and it's hitting into the sun. And there - oh! Oh! It's an explosion. Oh! I can't look. Oh - h - h! Oh - h - h!
Everything seems so still, and I see people now holding onto the chairs in their houses. Everything's rocking. It - it's like the very foundation is rocking in the houses. And they're all frightened. And many are running into the streets. Oh, but others are running and closing their windows. They're pulling down the shades. Oh! Oh! Others are looking - I can see them looking through their windows, but they do not go outside. They must not go outside.
I see a great mist coming in the sky - a great mist. And there are pieces of - they appear to be rock or dust rock falling. And the people who are outside, they're stumbling. Something's happening to them. They don't seem to - they're like drunk; they're stumbling. And now the ones I'm watching, two of them have fallen. They've fallen on their faces now, and they're trying to get up. Now they're - they're falling forward, and they're not moving.
And I see now this darkness - a great, great mist. And then a deep, musty - looking haze, and it's now going and passing across the moon. And now there's no moon; there's no light. The moon's absolutely covered. I can't see it; there's no light.
Now the sun also seems to be shooting out particles - I don't know - it's particles. And I can see this other ball that looks like a small sun now; it's coming from behind. And it's still - it's twirling, but it is also shooting out particles of, of rock, fiery rock. (12-24-73)
What You Should Store
"O My children, how many will try to go back and restore their homes when it is too late!
"Keep blessed candles, water, blankets, food within your homes. The candles of those who have remained in the state of grace shall not be extinguished, but the candles in the homes of those who have given themselves to satan shall not burn! Amen I say to you: as night follows day, a great darkness shall descend upon mankind." (6-12-76)
The Warning to Mankind
Veronica - It's as though everything has exploded in the sky - the flash!...And it's very hot! It's very wa-a-a-arm!! Oohhh...! Oohhh! It feels like a burning! Oohhh!! Now the sky is very white! Colors - blues, purples! It's like a huge explosion. Now this voice - the voice...! And the voice, Our Lady says, is a voice within you: "Your Warning before Chastisement!” Flash, fire, and the voice within you! The final Warning before Chastisement." (4-21-73)
The Flash and the Great Heat
Veronica - Do not look up to the sky - the flash! Oh! It's - oh! I see a terrible light. It's a flash, but it's hot. Oh, it's so hot! Oh! Now I hear voices, and the people are screaming. They're frightened. There's no reason to be frightened. Our Lady will save you. There's no reason to be frightened. Don't run! Don't go outside; stay inside. Ohh. Pray; remain on your knees and pray!" (6-8-73)
Big `W' in the Sky
Veronica - The sky this evening is a very dark ominous-looking color. It's a shade of blue but almost a black all about the trees. And directly over Our Lady's statue there is a big letter "W" That always means "warning." Now the "W" seems to be the border of the black outline from about the trees in a circular pattern. Directly over Our Lady's statue beyond the black border of the "W", the warning, the sky is becoming a very clear blue. It takes away that feeling of, oh, not terror - something being ominous, a warning. (9-13-78)
Veronica - There is appearing a large - a large arrow pointing up towards Heaven, a very large arrow; it's pointing to Heaven. And now the back of the arrow is trailing a long, long tail across the sky over to the right. And it's now, it's making a very large "W" - the tail - in the sky: Warning! (6-16-73)
Then...Oh, it is raining very heavily, and I see waters again but not like the others. These are coming from like mountains. And the water is pouring down from the mountains onto the houses. And they're - terrible! Houses are just washed away like they're a piece of paper. And people - they're trying to hold onto the trees. Oh! Oh!
I never saw a city...with water....It's impossible, but it's happening. Oh! People are in subway stations and the water is coming in.
And now it's growing very dark...very dark. And now there's appearing over the dark sky a great letter. Oh, it, it doesn't look good. The letter is “W.” It's written in the sky: “W,” but it's all in black, a huge “W,” all in black, written above the eagle. The tip of the “W” comes almost level with the top of the flagpole, the center part of it. “W.”
"Warning! Warning! Warning!" A voice repeated three times: "Warning! Warning! Warning!" Three times. (10-2-73)
Veronica - ... written in the sky is a large “W.” “W” means warning. Ah! oh, ah. (pause) Oh. (12-7-73)
Our Lady - "O My children, I have come to you as a Mediatrix from your God. I bring to you a warning from Heaven. There shall be sent upon you a great Warning and if this Warning is not heeded, you shall receive the Ball of Redemption.
"All prophesy, My children, all warnings have been conditional, conditional to man's response. My children, we now count only in the few those who will be saved." (6-24-76)
Many Will See and Still Not Believe
Our Lady - "There will be sent upon your earth a great Warning of great magnitude. It will be recognizable to all. Many will see and still not believe. Pray for those who have covered themselves with blindness. When I speak to you, My child, of blindness, it is the state of the spirit. The world of man has lost sight of the road to the Kingdom. Man no longer honors My Son upon his knees. Should you not return to the rule, you will be forced to return to your knees." (9-13-73)
Jesus - "My children, you are fast approaching a great Warning and Chastisement. Prepare your homes well. Prepare the souls of your children; many shall be removed to save them." (12-31-77)
Jesus - "There shall be set upon mankind a great Warning, far greater than man has ever experienced upon earth; and woe to the man who has not repented before the Chastisement. There will be much gnashing of teeth and woe set upon the earth." (5-23-79)
Accidents That Are Not Accidents
Jesus - "My children, I do not approach you to bring fear to your hearts, but to counsel you as a just God, to warn you, that there is a great Warning and Chastisement approaching. Many accidents that are not accidents! As you sow, so shall you reap!" (6-2-79)
Our Lady - "The warning which will be sent upon man must be effective; and in the mercy of the Father, a great spectacle will then be placed in the sky for all to see. However, the agents of hell will try to prove - disprove the hand of the Father in this Miracle." (12-24-73)
Our Lady - "His Mercy, the Father, knows no bounds, therefore you must get down now on your knees and pray and do much penance for the great offenses being committed now upon your earth. There is a scale now - no man knows the balance - but the scale holds the fate of mankind. When the forces of iniquity far exceed the forces of good, know that the great Warning and Chastisement is upon you." (8-5-74)
Our Lady - "Therefore, take the blindness from your heart, close your eyes, close your ears, listen with your heart and you will be given the light. Ask and you shall receive. It is of free will that you reject the word of God or accept it. Every man will beheld accountable for his soul. None will fall to Satan, unless of his own free will. The time grows short. I admonish you, My children, there is to come upon you a great Warning, of such magnitude that every man, woman and child, will feel the burning fires within!
"No, My child, you will not see the burning of the body, as you viewed in the abyss. I told you, My child, and repeated it, it is a Warning. It is not the Chastisement I speak of." (9-28-74)
Our Lady - "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." (4-5-75)
Jesus - "The Faith is being attacked in My House upon earth, My Church, and many of My clergy are falling into the plan with the octopus, the great world powers that seek to gather all nations into a rule of a one-world government and a one-world religion based on humanism and modernism. However, this shall not be set in motion to a conclusion with the loss of souls. This shall not be set in motion because the Eternal Father will send a Warning to mankind, a great Warning of such magnitude that very few will doubt that it comes from the Eternal Father and is not man-made." (7-25-78)
Our Lady - "Know, My children, you are going through the time of test and trial. All that is rotten will fall. The sheep will be separated from the goats. There will come upon mankind in due time, a great Warning, a great Warning of magnitude beyond human comprehension. And then, should you not change your ways, there will come upon mankind one of the greatest chastisements ever seen before, nor ever shall be seen again. Skin will dry up and blow off the bones as though it had never been. Many eyes will see an
d yet not perceive the truth, so much have they blinded themselves to the truth of the light, turning away from their God and giving themselves to the mores of the world that has now turned to satan." (4-13-74)
Jacinta - "Yes, I tried to warn everyone of what was going to happen to the world of the future. Our Lady said that the little Father in Rome would suffer great persecution, but much of this persecution would come from his very own, those that he trusted. That is why the picture was given to you to send the message throughout the world." (6-8-74)
A Major Miracle at Bayside
Our Lady - "No, it is not in the will of the Father at this time. However, you will be given many manifestations, and then My Son will perform from these sacred grounds a major miracle that will bring all to the knowledge and reality that there exists a God Who is the Creator and rules Heaven and earth." (5-30-73)
Jesus - "My child and My children, We have gone throughout the world, in various places for many earth-years, trying to warn mankind that unless he changed his ways great chastisements shall fall upon all mankind. There have been wars and rumors of war going now throughout the world. There will be a great war, but first you will receive the Warning, the great Warning. Many hearts shall stop with fear." (10-1-88)
V. The Great Miracle at Garabandal, Spain
Our Lady - "My child, many will see and still not believe so great is the darkness of the spirit. Believe what you see at Garabandal!
"No, My child, it will not be removed by mankind. It has been four long years, but I promised you that you would see this, My child.
"The forces, the evil forces, My child, of 666 will lead a band of fools against Garabandal.
"The majesty of God will be much evident at this time. Should this great miracle be cast aside and rationalized by atheistic, scientific man, I assure you, My children, the Chastisement will come upon you with great force." (7-15-74)
Our Lady - "The morals of your world, the sins of the flesh, condemn many to hell, My children. Do not cast aside My warnings. I come to you as a Mediatrix from God, a Mediatrix between God and mankind. My heart is heavy, for you are fast approaching the great Warning and the furious onslaught of the Chastisement.
"O My children, if I could only show to you, before your very human eyes, only a small measure of the Chastisement that will be set upon mankind, how fast you would turn and run and remain close beside My Son at the tabernacles of the world." (12-7-76
Our Lady - "A great Miracle shall take place. Scientists will seek to rationalize this Miracle." (6-12-76)
Garabandal
Our Lady - "You must cleanse your souls of all sin, mortal and venial. Come to My Son in belief. Believe what you see at Garabandal, and turn back from your ways that have been created by satan. Return to the Father; do penance and atonement, for your chastisement will soon follow upon the great spectacle. I bless you all, My children, as the Father blesses you with sad heart." (12-24-73)
Intervention Deemed Necessary
Jesus - "You're not to be a feared at the coming days ahead, for you will pass through this without injury to your human body. Should you receive the fight, you have been prepared.
"The Father has found it necessary to send upon the world an intervention.
In this manner He plans to bring many back to their senses. They have lost their way, having surrendered themselves to the pleasures of the world. Many will return when they are forced back by suffering. The Father is of great heart that He may reach His children without further intervention after the great Miracle." (12-24-73)
Jacinta - "It is true that I gave a final message but I too could not give the date, only to warn the world that a great warning would come to mankind. It would be a great cataclysm-warning, and then there would be a great miracle, and after that if nothing changes and man continues to offend the Father, He would have to start this terrible trial, for there will be a great War and there will be a great terrible Chastisement." (6-8-74)
VI. The Rapture
Many Shall Be Taken Up in the Rapture
Jesus - "My children, there are many good to be saved; there are many children of God still in these areas about your country. However, I cannot promise you a life without thorns upon your earth. Many good will suffer with the bad. There will be a gradual removal from within your world of the good; many shall die in their earthly bodies and many shall be taken up in the rapture." (7-15-77)
The Rapture
Our Lady - "I give you great grace of heart, My children, to know that many shall be taken from your earth before the great Chastisement. It will be of great mirth, My child, to reveal to you that there will be much consternation and conflicting thought when these beloved children disappear from the earth. Many of your news medias shall state that they have been carried off by flying saucers. Oh no, My children! They were carried off into a supernatural realm of the Eternal Father to await the return of My Son upon earth." (12-7-76)
Jesus - "Man shall be working out in the field. One shall be taken. Man shall say, ‘Where has he gone? He has disappeared without warning ‘ A woman shall work at the spindle - two at the spindle. One shall be taken, and where has she gone? The mystery unfolds. It is in the plan of the Eternal Father that many shall be taken from among you. The mystery shall be found man.
"I promise in those days that those who remain shall meet with Me to establish My Kingdom of peace and joy upon your earth." (1-31-76)
Jesus - "Sin is insanity, and one sinful man shall set the world aflame. A world on fire and nations disappearing from the very face of the earth!
"Many shall be removed in the rapture. My children, the Eternal Father has a plan for each and every life that He has placed upon earth." (5-27-78)
Jesus - "Now, My child and My children, you will firmly now go forward without any hesitation. You must get the Message from Heaven out as fast as humanly possible, for your time is growing short. Remember, without prayers and atonement, the world will become devastated. The Third World War will leave no earth upon the land. There will be no earth, there will be no human beings; but a grouping would have been taken up into Heaven, My child and My children, to await the terrible devastation that falls upon mankind."
"Yes, My child, numerous earth years ago I told you that some will be removed before the great catalyst. All who are of well spirit need not give their lives to the Father in fear, but all who are of good spirit will receive many graces to save their families and themselves." (5-28-83)
VII. The Great Worldwide Chastisement
St. Robert Bellarmine - "There will be given many warnings before the Chastisement. One major warning will be given soon to your country. The Chastisement and cleansing will come in two parts of the world. One will be in your side.
The Chastisement
Veronica - Oh, Our Lady's showing me a large globe. I can see the United States and Canada. And I can see South America. And also now Our Lady's pointing over to the left side of this globe. And there's Asia, Egypt, Africa. And then, oh! there is a terrible war. Many, many people are dying. Many, many people will die, Our Lady said. Many souls unprepared to come to the Kingdom.
Now Our Lady is pointing over - over on the right side there's a large globe. Now out in the sky I see - it's a ball - it looks like the sun, but, no, it's trailing - it's spinning very fast across the sky. And it has streamers of fire coming out from behind it. And it's twirling so fast. Oh, and the heat - it's very intense.
Now one of the tails has hit - oh! Oh! I see - I - I see cities now. There's a great fire. And all the lights - there's no electricity - all the lights have gone out. And people are running and trying to find candles. But the air has become stagnant. And there seems to be no oxygen. And they can't light the candles. It's very, very dark. (2-10-73)
Veronica - Our Lady pointed to a map - Veronica repeated - Egypt, Africa - then in the center - ISRAEL. Our Lady said: "THERE WILL BE A GREAT WAR. AT THE TIME OF THIS CRISIS THERE WILL RETURN THE LORD OF LORDS AND THE KING OF KINGS! PREPARE YOURSELF NOW FOR THE TIME FOR YOUR EARTH GROWS SHORT! A GREAT CHANGE WILL SOON TAKE PLACE! IT WILL BE THE END OF YOUR ERA AS YOU KNOW IT. PREPARE YOUR SOULS NOW. YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WARNED!" (11-20-72)
Our Lady - "My child, there is much to be done before the Warning, and then the great Chastisement. In between this shall come forth the Third World War. You will see carnage, and killings, and blood running in your streets, My children." (3-18-83)
Our Lady - "Yes, My child, there will be a great War and a great Miracle, and then the great Chastisement. It is all to come to pass. Yes, My child, the great Chastisement will be a Baptism of Fire. In your country there are areas, My children, that will fall into major catastrophe." (6-18-74)
Our Lady - "The plan for your redemption, My children, is simple. It is a plan of prayer, atonement, and sacrifice. Live each day as if you were to leave it the morrow.
"There will be a great War; there will be a great Chastisement; and of course, My children, there will be a Warning, a great Warning given to mankind. But how many shall recognize this also?" (5-26-76)
Our Lady - "There will be a great Warning sent to mankind. And should this not be acted upon, a great Chastisement shall soon follow. The numbers lost in this Chastisement are beyond all that human mind would comprehend!
"A disaster of great magnitude is approaching your country! Have you prepared for this? There will be in your country a great quake. The earth shall tremble, the homes shall fall and many shall be sent into oblivion! Many shall not be prepared and will be claimed by Satan! Pray, pray, My children! Send your Messages far and wide! A great disaster is approaching mankind! Your country will not escape this chastisement. Do not, My child, put this in the same measure as the Chastisement in the near future. This will be an additional warning to mankind!
"Awaken now from your slumber! You are soon to feel the hand of God upon your country! You, who have turned from your Creator! You, who have set yourselves up in pride and arrogance against your Creator!" (10-2-74)
A World War and the Chastising Celestial Comet
Our Lady - "I have counseled parents to guard their doors of their homes and make them strongholds for the children! It is the young now who have become the major source for the onslaught of satan to destroy the future of your country and many countries throughout the world. I say ‘many’ My children, because, as the days go on, the major disaster of the world war and the chastising celestial comet set upon mankind shall leave in its wake too few souls upon earth.
"The final count shall be in the few of those who are to be saved. My children, at this very moment of time upon earth, each and every person of conscionable age has been marked with the sign of the cross and redemption, or they have accepted on free will the mark of the beast, eternal damnation!" (8-14-78)
A. World War III for Three Days
Our Lady - “I speak to you with great heart and hope, but I cannot escape sending to you the Message from Heaven, which is a warning - a warning that unless you mend your ways that offend the Eternal Father now, your world will be cleansed by trial.
“There will be a terrible war - a catastrophe, My children. It will be beyond anything mankind has ever seen. Nations shall disappear from the face of the earth. Bodies will burn and blow away and find no resting place. There will be revolutions in the countries of the world - brother against brother, sister against sister. Bodies shall lie in the marketplaces, unburied and uncovered, so great will be the dead! My children, is this what you want?" (8-14-75)
Only What They Want You to Know
Veronica - Now I see a great field. There’s a darkness hanging over this field, and there are many, many crosses stretching as far as the eye can see.
Our Lady - "My child, you are witnessing the many who shall die in the great War. Already the forces are working to the consummation of this great World War, My child. Do not be deceived by the editorials, by your newspapers that have now been controlled by these forces, for you will only be given the knowledge of what they want you to know. It is often concealing the truth." (7-24-76)
On the Brink of World War III
Jesus - "My child and My children, you do not understand how close you are on the brink to the Third World War, which could break out any day now. All who are ready will not suffer the great cataclysm brought on by evil minds. You must all work and pray and do penance for peace among all nations; for We love Our children and We do not want to see them die, for many are unprepared and they come without Baptism." (6-18-84)
Our Lady - "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." (11-24-79)
Syria has the Key
Our Lady - "My child, one part only can be made known, given to you. Syria has the key to the solution of world peace or the third world war. It will be the destruction of three-quarters of the world. A world aflame, with also the Ball of Redemption." (5-30-81)
Jesus - "And if you think you have seen carnage now already in the Church, the worst is yet to come, unless you follow the rules, given by My Mother many years ago, of prayer, atonement, and sacrifice. By your example you may be able to save others. For soon there will come upon you the great Chastisement. It comes in two parts, My child and My children: the Third World War and, also, the Ball of Redemption. These can no longer be delayed. For the good seem to go about their way, perhaps pridefully. We do not seek to accuse or place a stigma on any, but some may pridefully sit back and let others go forth and make these sacrifices and prayers and penance. Because they have become smug, or because they have not the grace to understand, that once you receive this grace much is expected of you. You must even work harder to save your brothers and sisters." (6-18-86)
Wars shall Increase
Our Lady - "How long, My children, do you think that the Eternal Father will stretch His pity to excuse, or make excuses for these abominations. No longer, My children. This I bring to you as the most urgent message from Heaven. Wars shall increase, and the great world War, the greatest of all, shall befall mankind, and shall make extinct three-quarters of the world's population. Is this what you want?" (6-18-82)
Our Lady - "My child, I know you are affrighted at this knowledge, for I have given you others - other means of avoiding this in your country by spreading the words from the Eternal Father throughout the world. Yes, My child, the whole world must listen now, or they will be engulfed in a total world war. This war will be like no other war that man has ever suffered or seen. It will be the end of the world." (9-7-85)
Floods shall Increase
Jesus - "My child and My children, you do not recognize the floods that have been set upon you. These floods shall increase, and many will die; and these floods shall be in diverse places, places not known before to have had such an occurrence. Many mothers’ hearts will be saddened.
"Also, My children, I have tried to warn you through My Mother and countless other personages from Heaven to prepare, for you are fast heading for a war - the Third World War - the War that shall make mankind extinct but for the few who are chosen to keep up the Faithful and True banner before mankind - the Faithful and True banner that states, 'This is my Jesus.'" (6-18-84)
The Culmination of Armageddon
Veronica - Our Lady is pointing over now to the right side of the flagpole. The sky is lighting up. And I am looking into a mapped area that looks like - yes, it is Africa. And I can see...I'm looking over from the African part of the map, and I can see the other countries of Egypt and Israel. And, oh! Now Our Lady is saying:
Our Lady - "A coalition, My child, of the dark races. The world is fast heading to the culmination of the Armageddon."(3-18-75)
Veronica - Now as I’m watching - it's a map of - oh, I can see Jerusalem and Egypt, Arabia, French Morocco, Africa. Oh, my goodness! There seems to be a very dense darkness now settling upon those countries. Oh, My! And Our Lady is saying:
Our Lady - "The start of the Third World War, My child." (3-29-75)
Russia Has Not Been Converted
Our Lady - "This will tell you, My child and My children, that the major Chastisement shall be a Third World War, which is in the planning now. Russia has not been converted. And why? Because the Message I gave many years ago to the little children, and to those who had the heart to seek for the truth, I told them that unless they prayed the Rosary and wore their Brown Scapulars, death shall be a place among the living: death, such as no man could perceive in his human mind, to see the destruction of missiles and other contemptible, technological implements, made strictly from the knowledge of satan." (7-1-85)
Our Lady - "O My children, how I wanted to caress you and tell you good news, for I am not the bearer of bad news always. I am your Mother and must tell you the truth. I repeat again. My child Veronica, you repeat now in your weakened state, again: the Pope, John Paul II, and all the bishops of the world must allot one day on which they will pray for the conversion of Russia. Not one day for the world, but one day for Russia; or else, I tell you now, Russia will go about and annihilate, destroy many countries. Nations shall disappear from the face of the earth in the twinkling of an eye. That is how desperate the situation is now throughout your world, My children." (10-2-87)
B. The Ball of Redemption for Three Days
(Also see: http://www.tldm.org/news/PistolStarMesssages.htm )
Our Lady - "You ask, My child, again, about the Ball of Redemption. Yes, the Ball is out there, My child, in your atmosphere. There will be a great warning, there will be phenomenon of great magnitude, and there will be a great chastisement. All must come about. However, mankind holds the
balance for the coming events. (8-14-74)
Comet Within This Century
Our Lady - "I, as your Mother, I am terribly depressed in knowing what is fast coming upon mankind. I see beyond me a ball, a large ball. Were it placed next to the sun, this ball would be like two suns in the sky. But it is a ball of destruction, and I tell you, My children, we have been attempting to hold this back with all manners of graces and fasting and suffering. But the Eternal Father says, ‘Look up, My child’; He said to look far up into the sky. Your human eyes cannot perceive yet what is up there, but there is a ball to mankind known as ‘unknown origin.’ But it is not unknown: it is the Ball of Redemption.
"Do not be affrighted, My child; you must see this, for it is important. Within this century this ball will be sent upon mankind." (6-18-88)
Comet to Rush into Atmosphere Without Warning
Our Lady - "My child, that is a most tremendous ball you are seeing. It is the Ball of Redemption. It is at the fingertips of the Eternal Father to do as He wills. Pray that mankind will awaken and escape this great Chastisement, My child. It will rush into your atmosphere without warning. Scientists will look with fright as will the ordinary man." (9-6-75)
Three-Quarters of Mankind Destroyed
Jesus - "I have often warned you - that unless you turn back from your present road, a road that means the destruction of souls and the eventual physical destruction of many nations upon your earth - unless you turn back now, what more can I say, but to acknowledge the fact from the Eternal Father that a great Warning - preceded by minor warnings upon earth - a great Warning shall be set upon mankind. After this, unless you turn back and do great penance, make atonement to the Eternal Father for your offenses to Him, you will receive a great Chastisement. And in this Chastisement, approximately three-quarters of mankind shall be destroyed. My children, is this what you want?!!" (6-2-79)
Jesus - "Yes, My child and My children, the world now is being prepared by the Bear and will face a crucible of suffering. As My Mother has told you before, I will repeat again: There will be minor chastisements, and then will come the great Warning and the greatest of chastisement, a Chastisement such as has never been seen before in your nation or the nations of the world and we pray will never then be seen again. However, only a few will be left." (3-26-83)
"Jacinta 1972" Picture See more . . .
On September 14, 1971, Robert F. of Bayside took a picture of Our Lady's Statue with a Polaroid Instant Camera - develops on the spot. In eerie supernatural scrawl across the whole face of the picture are these words, "JACINTA 1972".
The word "JACINTA" that appears above the "1972" in the photo, has been juxtaposed on both sides of the picture to show how you may read the photo, and thus facilitate the task of searching for lines, figures and numbers.
Jacinta told Sister Godinho in Lisbon (the nun caring for her at her death bed) that her order "... might always remain united with the Vatican, and that they should prepare themselves for the year 1972..." because man's sins would bring on the world such punishments and cause much suffering to the Holy Father, "the poor little one." We now know through the Bayside message that the Holy Father Pope Paul VI was a prisoner in the Vatican from 1972 onwards.
The Date for the Chastisement
"My child, the picture 'Jacinta' must be read now by all of earth's children. You will give them this direction, My child. If it is in the will of the Eternal Father that they be graced to receive the truth, they will observe carefully and examine the photograph miraculous 'Jacinta 1972'. You will read the wording 'Jacinta' and search for lines and figures and numbers. Within the miraculous picture is given the date by God the Father for the chastisement of mankind. All will be conditional to the response of mankind.
"You must well remember the words of My Son to the world in relation to this miraculous picture: 'Consider this picture as a puzzle for the human race to figure out. If not solved in due time, I, Jesus, will set the answer upon the world Myself?' Within this picture, My children, is the date, the month, the year, the hour, of the Chastisement as planned by God the Father." (11-25-78)
One of the Greatest Gifts to Mankind
On December 7, 1978, Veronica said: The world must recognize the importance of the 'Jacinta 1972' picture. Our Lady asked that all read and examine the picture well. It is one of the greatest gifts given to mankind in these latter days, a manifestation from Heaven. All who are in the light will recognize and interpret the photograph 'Jacinta 1972', and they will not be taken unawares." For more information on 'Jacinta 1972' click here.
Ball of Redemption (Also see
On July 15, 1973, Our Lady said: "... When the Ball of Redemption is used as the chastising agent, you will see it for about two weeks before it ever hits earth. And that, I can assure, will be the most frightening incident for most."
Assuming June 13 to 18 is the time of the Great Chastisement, then on or about June 3, the comet is first seen with the naked eye. It comes closer and closer to the earth. Three days before it strikes the earth, World War III takes place on June 13, 14, and 15. The comet strikes the earth and cleanses the world on June 16, 17, and 18.
VIII. The Second Coming of Jesus Christ
GREAT HOPE
"Yes, your country and the world must go through great trial. However, I do not wish to fill you with fear, but to prepare you for what is to come.
"All who remain of well spirit will have no fear, but will go through these days of trial with great hope and rejoice with the Second Coming of My Son." - Our Lady, December 29, 1973
SECOND COMING
"For you will know when My Son arrives. He will come down with the angels with a loud shout of triumph to set your world in order....
"If My Son did not return, My child, there would be no flesh saved, so great will be the trial upon earth." - Our Lady, March 18, 1975
VICTIMS
"There will be, My child, upon earth, many chosen to be victims, victims for the mercy of the Father upon mankind. The greatest hope, the greatest joy, My child, I can give to mankind is the knowledge that the ultimate victory over satan will be the outcome of the second coming of My Son to your earth." - Our Lady, April 13, 1974
THE BATTLE RAGES
"The true Church of Jesus in Rome is being attacked by the forces of 666. It is a world-wide involvement that cannot be fully described at this time. It is a diabolical involvement that will be made fully known with the Second Coming of Jesus.
"The battle rages now, and all who have given themselves to the world will not understand, for they are of the world. And many now have adopted and accepted a new father—not the Eternal Father in Heaven, but the father of all liars, satan. All who do not recognize Jesus as the Christ is the Antichrist. Learn by this!
"The clergy who have given themselves over to errors and are misled, and some of great determination to destroy My Son's Church—why? Because they have lost the Faith. Pray, pray much for your clergy, My children. Without your prayers, many mitres shall fall into hell." - Our Lady, April 17, 1976
CANNOT FORCE
“My children, you must now make the choice. You have a free will. We cannot force you into Heaven. You must want to come, My children. I promise you, as your Mother, and as a Mediatrix between God and man, that I shall be with you to the Second Coming of My Son.” - Our Lady, October 1, 1977
THE APOCALYPSE EXPLAINED
"You have followed My directions well to read the writings of the good John, Saint John, as I wish him to be known upon earth. The Father used him as an instrument to give you the knowledge of the end days. I will explain the part, My child, that puzzled you most.
All are in symbolic form, but if you pray to the Spirit for the light, your mind will be opened to the truth. Know that there will be two phases with the closing of the Book of the Apocalypse placed on parchment by Saint John, the good John, on the island.
There will be great trial and punishment, tribulation in the House of God, the houses of God throughout the world, and in the lay life of the human being. The fight will be a war of the spirits. The pages of the apocalyptic times must turn. All who remain after this time of great trial will join with My Son in setting up the Kingdom that I promised you, the time of great peace. It will only be with you, this great peace promised, at the return, the Second Coming of My Son, Jesus.
After the great tribulation, the number saved will be counted in the few. They will join with My Son and continue on with a life of great joy and glory to the Father as planned in the beginning. Satan will tempt none ever more unto the time allotted given to him before the great and final judgment.
Satan will be chained, My child, for a number of earth-years. He will no longer roam to tempt mankind. My Son shall be the Ruler upon earth; and then after this time, satan will be loosed once again to tempt mankind, as man will then evolve back into his human nature and find himself offending the Father and sinning once more.
Then will come the general, final judgment upon mankind, the end of time. It will be at this time that there will come unto you a new Heaven and a new earth—the new Jerusalem promised from the beginning of time by the Father.
Your spirit will return to your bodies. United will be the body and the soul. And as such, you will be set in judgment.
That, My child, will give you a condensed knowledge of what lies in the pages I asked you to read.
You must, My child, awaken your brothers and sisters to the fact that the days ahead have all been in the plan of the Father, knowledgeable to Him, as He knows all past, future, and present.
Read the Book of love and life, your Bible. Do not discard these apocalyptic days, My children. Try to unravel these symbols and secrets. They are not difficult. Hidden within the pages you will find the full story of the days ahead. However, the pages will turn only as mankind deems, slowly or faster. At the present time, My child, it is like a great wind has taken the Book and blown it away, and the pages are turning faster and faster, bringing man faster to the end of his time.
Do not be afraid, My child, to repeat all that I have made known to you. They will call you a prophet of doomsday. Ah, but, My child, how sad it will be when they recognize all that was given to them, the knowledge that they chose to cast aside, caring more for the things of their world than for the joys and treasures of Heaven that cannot ever by despoiled or removed. A life eternal with happiness and glory discarded for the pleasures of the world of satan! O My children, is it not any wonder that My tears fall! They fall as teardrops from Heaven. I am truly a Mother of great sorrow!" - Our Lady, September 13, 1974
Now is the time to pray, repent, and prepare yourself and your loved ones for these momentous events. Come, Lord Jesus, come! Amen

Introduction
Veronica Lueken of Bayside, New York, receives the most incredible prophecies from Heaven about the last days before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. These Bayside Prophecies are a continuation and expansion of the Fatima Prophecies given in 1917. The Bayside Prophecies are the unrevealed Third Secret of Fatima. This pamphlet is summary of the great events to come upon mankind now. Every person in the world will be affected by these prophecies and that means you and I. These prophecies will prepare you and protect you in the days ahead.
I. Revolution in Africa
Jesus - "My child, I wish you to view one scene. You will hold your crucifix and you will not, My child, pass out."
Veronica - Over on the left side, I see...I know it's Africa. It's all in flames. I've seen the flames before, but this is horrible. They're going wild; they all look dark-skinned, yet they're killing each other.
Jesus - "My child, you see war, the beginning of a war. It will be father against son, mother against daughter, and satan will be in their midst. Those who have the power are exercising it now in the wrong direction, My children. Better that they take the monies coming to them from out of the world, better that they try to construct a country with joy and happiness and peace among the brothers." (7-25-85)
Veronica - High up in the sky, I see a very large globe. It's a globe of the world. It's becoming very illuminated. And as Our Lady turns, frantically She is waving to a side of the globe. And She's going over, with approval from Jesus - She had asked him - I couldn't hear what She was saying, but I could hear the drone-like of Her voice. And Jesus is nodding, yes, to go over. Our Lady is approaching the globe of the earth. It is an actual globe, as though taken from space, that only Heaven could present to us this evening. Our Lady is pointing to Africa. I see Africa with a blackness, starting in the southern part, and going up and up.
Africa - War, Famine and Droughts
Jesus - "And there will be, also, great warfare in Africa - famine and warfare, droughts. O My children, all of these, with wars included, are allowed to come upon you so that you may understand and learn the hard way that there is a God - One who could stop the massacres; One who could stop all the suffering upon earth. However, it is a test for all mankind; for by this test, many shall be cleansed. O My children, My desperate children, I hear your voices coming up to Us, and My Mother sheds tears of pity for you.
"Look, My children, beyond where My Mother is standing; look carefully, and you will see the globe of the world, as it starts to turn."
Russia on the March
Veronica - And now it stops on a massive nation. I see men in uniform, doing what appears to be a goose step - that is the only way I can explain it. And now I see them marching, six abreast, row after row, across nations and countries.
Now Our Lady is motioning to me, and touching Her lips. Our Lady is saying:
Our Lady - "This, My child, is reason for a dirge. For this nation of Russia shall bring much sorrow to the world. In many years past, I begged of you to convert Russia, but, instead, there is a fear of Russia that should not be. There is only one individual to fear in your world, and that could be, My child and My children, the fear of an angry God." (10-5-85)
Our Lady - "Look over, My child, to your left. Yes, that is true: you are looking at Africa now, My child, another map. And what do you see, My child?"
Veronica - I see all flames. And I see many people who are hungry. I see babies with their stomachs all swelled up; and babies with their bones sticking out of their skins. And to think...
Our Blessed Mother is crying. She's touching Her lips now.
Our Lady - "My child, and to think how much food is being wasted in your country and the affluent countries of the world. One little morsel could keep a child from starving to death.
"If you think that this could not happen to your country, you are mistaken, My child. If you think this cannot happen, I must tell you now that there are still many who are hungry in your country this evening. You see, My child, man is always self-seeking, and cannot see what lies ahead of him." (11-1-85)
Veronica - Now Jesus is going backwards into the sky. He's pointing with His right hand up over the right side of the sky, and there is appearing a very large globe, a ball-like globe, with a cross upon it. And over on the right side is what appears to be a stone figure, but I don't know what it means. It looks like an iron cross with a swastika in the center of it, one of those figures, swastikas, in the center of the iron cross. And then, over on the left side, as you pass the ball with the cross on the top, on the left side, is the hammer and the sickle, the sign of communism and slavery.
Now, the hammer and the sickle now is floating. It seems to have lost its moorings. It's floating over, over Our Lady's statue, and now I can see the whole continent of Africa. And the hammer and the sickle now is floating down. It's in the southern part of Africa. Now I see it's going north. And I see blackness. Oh, it's like the continent is going into darkness. It's a very frightening-looking sight!
I see people fighting. I see nuns running, and priests running. And I see mothers with children running. They're both black, they're white. They're running. And I see now red flags over buildings, a menacing-looking blood-red flag. (3-18-77)
Now Our Lady is pointing to the sky. ‘W 3’ is written in the sky. ‘W 3’ in black lettering. It's very, kind of ominous looking, frightening.
Our Lady - "War, My child and My children, many wars, much suffering will be set upon the world. Wars are a punishment for man's sins."
Veronica - Now there is forming in the sky the outline of a country. I can see it; it's Africa, the whole continent of Africa. And it's very frightening. I see people in black robes, like they look like a grim reaper. They look terrible, death-like faces, skulls in black robes. And they've got what looks to be a very large sickle in their hands. Oh, they're the picture of death. Oh, my! (4-9-77)
Now Our Lady is pointing over to the sky, and as I look over to where She’s pointing, I see great multitudes of people; but they're fighting. I know it's some kind of a war going on. Now their skin is darker, though not black like in Africa. But they are actually killing each other. And I hear a voice from beyond the sky, saying:
Eternal Father - "Father against son, mother against daughter. It will be one of the greatest catastrophes that the world has ever seen." (10-6-88)
Veronica - Now Michael is pointing with his hand over beyond the huge cross. Now the cross is beginning to fade and I see a large map and Michael is pointing. It's Africa. I recognize the map.
Michael - "Observe the course of history,My child. This country will fall to the forces of evil and give itself into the reign of what you have chosen to call, the Antichrist." (2-1-75)
Revelations
Our Lady - "You must read your Bible every day, even a short verse, My children. Read your Bible and learn by it. The Revelations, the Apocalypse of St. John, the scrolls are unfurling." (5-27-78)
St. Michael - "My child, We have asked you to send the word to mankind that they will read in the book of life, the Bible, the words given to them that will fulfill the prophecy of the latter days - Apocalypse. You are living the days of the Revelations. Read them and be knowledgeable, and you will not be caught without the light." (6-8-74)
II. Revolution in Western Europe
Veronica - Our Lady is pointing over now to Her left side, that would be our right side, and over... I can see a map, and I know it's a map of Europe, Western Europe. There's something going on there.
War in West Germany
Our Lady - "It has not started, My child, but there will be great confusion, and war shall break out in the western part of Germany." (6-30-84)
Prayers Needed for Portugal and Spain
Our Lady - "There is much, My child, that cannot be revealed at this time. You must remain silent.
"There are many prayers, My child, being offered for the repatriation of the country Portugal. Unless there is a measure of prayers in accordance with the balance set by the Eternal Father, the forces of evil shall take over the beautiful land of Portugal and enter upon Spain. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer." (9-13-75)
Our Lady - "The destruction is fast approaching mankind. There is nothing that Satan will not do to seduce the nations. Awaken now from your lethargy, your love of riches; open your eyes to the truth!”
Veronica - Oh, now I see - Our Lady is pointing over and there is - oh my goodness! - it looks like people are fighting. Oh! It's a terrible war! Oh! It's a terrible war! Oh! there's so much blood! And I see a stream of blood and it's going across the waters, and it looks like Italy...and France. Oh my! Now Our Lady is coming forward, and She's placing upon Her head a black shawl:
Our Lady - "Yes, My child, much blood will be shed upon the earth. Many will be martyred for the cause of My Son before this battle is over." (6-15-74)
III. Revolution in Italy and the Pope Flees Rome
Rome to Go Through Labor Pains
Our Lady - "The Eternal City of Rome shall go through labor pains. The struggle shall lead to blood within the streets. There shall be a war among your clergy. It shall be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal for 666 has entered upon Rome. I repeat, My children: awaken from your slumber! 666, the forces and agents of Satan, have entered upon Rome!
"Your Father, your Holy Father, Pope Paul, is a prisoner in his own House, his Church. Recognize the signs about you; do not be deluded by the mockers who cast aside My direction. You must all pray a constant vigilance of prayer for your Vicar. The agents of 666 have already chosen his successor, My children." (7-15-76)
Jesus - "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." (8-21-76)
Blood Shall Flow in the Streets
Our Lady - "The forces, the red forces, are gathering within the Eternal City of Rome and throughout all of Europe, My children. Unless man turns back quickly, blood shall flow in the streets. Revolution shall come, and many shall die. The world is entering a time of great trial. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer, My children." (9-7-76)
Voice - "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth! Blood baths in the Eternal City! Blood will flow through the streets, Revolution and death! Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitants of the earth!" (11-1-74)
A Great Revolution in Rome
Our Lady - "There will be a great revolution in Rome, in Italy, and many countries in Europe, My child, because the man of sin is preparing the way. The forces of communism are gaining and will enter upon the Seat of Peter. You will recognize, My children, by the directions that shall come from Rome." (3-25-78)
Veronica - Our Lady pointed to two maps in the sky. One is of Africa. Our Lady said, "There will be great strife in the dark lands." Then, a map with a boot: Italy. Flames were rising from the boot. She says, "Great revolution! Sadness to all heaven's heart!" (9-28-72)
Our Lady - "Oh, My child, how many tears of sorrow do I shed for what is coming upon your Holy Father and Our Vicar, Pope Paul VI, in the Eternal City of Rome! The Eternal Father in Heaven is watching as mankind is setting himself fast upon a path of schism. There will be much strife within the Eternal City, My child. You must keep a constant vigilance of prayer."
(4-10-76)
St. Michael - "Discord and strife, and blood shall flow in the streets with revolution. The Eternal City of Rome shall be purged - communism."
(11-22-76)
Revolution in Rome
Our Lady - "Rome shall soon have a blood bath; Rome shall suffer in revolution. And why, My children, why must this chastisement come upon the Eternal City? Because they have turned from their God! Too few do penance and atonement! Prayer has been discarded for all materialism and worldly knowledge. Men shall be eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the fires sweep them away!" (6-16-77)
Jesus - "Rome will undergo a great trial with revolution and bloodshed. Pray, My children, a constant vigilance of prayer. Sin will accelerate until the world shall be steeped in blood baths and insanity." (6-4-77)
Veronica - Our Lady is now moving Her head saying, ”Yes.” Our Lady appears very sad. Now She's pointing upward to the sky and She's saying: "Communism is the scourge of mankind. Blood and revolution." (6-24-76)
Our Lady - "My children, you must keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your country and the world. Pray for your priests. Pray for the Holy Father, Pope Paul in Rome, for Rome shall also be bathed in blood.
"No nation upon earth shall escape the chastisement. Every nation has fallen short of honor to their God. Every nation has succumbed to itching ears of novelty, bringing in humanism, and modernism, leading to soul destruction." (2-1-78)
IV. Great Warning for the World
When You See the Holy Father Fleeing ...
Jesus - "My child, you speculate much about the coming Warning. I have asked you many times not to speculate on dates, but I give you one indication that the time is ripe. When you see, when you hear, when you feel the revolution in Rome, when you see the Holy Father fleeing, seeking a refuge in another land, know that the time is ripe. But beg and plead that your good Pontiff does not leave Rome, for he will allow the man of dark secrets to capture his throne." (9-14-76)
The Sky Shall Roll Back Like a Scroll
Our Lady - "There will be a tremendous explosion, and the sky shall roll back like a scroll. This force shall go within the very core of the human. He will understand his offenses to his God. However, this warning will be of short duration, and many shall continue upon their road to perdition, so hard are the hearts hardened now, My child." (6-12-76)
Apocalypse Chapter 6, Verse 14
"And Heaven passed away as a scroll that is rolled up."
Beware of the Sunrise!
Our Lady - "As the day follows night, so shall this Warning follow soon. Beware of the sunrise! Do not look up to the sky - the flash! Beware of the sunrise! Do not look up to the sky - the flash! Close your windows; draw your shades, remain inside. Do not venture outside your door, or you will not return. Pray! Prostrate yourselves upon your floors! Pray with arms outstretched, and beg for mercy of your God the Father.
"Do not seek to receive your animals into your homes, for the animals of those who have remained of well spirit will be taken care of.
Part of a comet hits the sun…
Veronica - Oh! Oh! I see the sky; it's becoming a very, very bright red, almost an orange, a red - orange. And it's like I'm suspended, and the light is so bright it hurts my eyes. And I see this huge ball. Now in the center - it's, it's a gray colored ball, almost - oh, I don't know what it's made of, but a rock - like formation. But as it's turning now, it's beginning to change color, becoming a purplish, hazy, orange - looking ball. And now it's beginning to gather great speed. And as it's going faster across the sky, part of it has broken off now, and it's going now behind the sun. I see the huge ball of the sun. It's a ball of fire. And this is another ball of fire. And a piece now is broken off, and it's hitting into the sun. And there - oh! Oh! It's an explosion. Oh! I can't look. Oh - h - h! Oh - h - h!
Everything seems so still, and I see people now holding onto the chairs in their houses. Everything's rocking. It - it's like the very foundation is rocking in the houses. And they're all frightened. And many are running into the streets. Oh, but others are running and closing their windows. They're pulling down the shades. Oh! Oh! Others are looking - I can see them looking through their windows, but they do not go outside. They must not go outside.
I see a great mist coming in the sky - a great mist. And there are pieces of - they appear to be rock or dust rock falling. And the people who are outside, they're stumbling. Something's happening to them. They don't seem to - they're like drunk; they're stumbling. And now the ones I'm watching, two of them have fallen. They've fallen on their faces now, and they're trying to get up. Now they're - they're falling forward, and they're not moving.
And I see now this darkness - a great, great mist. And then a deep, musty - looking haze, and it's now going and passing across the moon. And now there's no moon; there's no light. The moon's absolutely covered. I can't see it; there's no light.
Now the sun also seems to be shooting out particles - I don't know - it's particles. And I can see this other ball that looks like a small sun now; it's coming from behind. And it's still - it's twirling, but it is also shooting out particles of, of rock, fiery rock. (12-24-73)
What You Should Store
"O My children, how many will try to go back and restore their homes when it is too late!
"Keep blessed candles, water, blankets, food within your homes. The candles of those who have remained in the state of grace shall not be extinguished, but the candles in the homes of those who have given themselves to satan shall not burn! Amen I say to you: as night follows day, a great darkness shall descend upon mankind." (6-12-76)
The Warning to Mankind
Veronica - It's as though everything has exploded in the sky - the flash!...And it's very hot! It's very wa-a-a-arm!! Oohhh...! Oohhh! It feels like a burning! Oohhh!! Now the sky is very white! Colors - blues, purples! It's like a huge explosion. Now this voice - the voice...! And the voice, Our Lady says, is a voice within you: "Your Warning before Chastisement!” Flash, fire, and the voice within you! The final Warning before Chastisement." (4-21-73)
The Flash and the Great Heat
Veronica - Do not look up to the sky - the flash! Oh! It's - oh! I see a terrible light. It's a flash, but it's hot. Oh, it's so hot! Oh! Now I hear voices, and the people are screaming. They're frightened. There's no reason to be frightened. Our Lady will save you. There's no reason to be frightened. Don't run! Don't go outside; stay inside. Ohh. Pray; remain on your knees and pray!" (6-8-73)
Big `W' in the Sky
Veronica - The sky this evening is a very dark ominous-looking color. It's a shade of blue but almost a black all about the trees. And directly over Our Lady's statue there is a big letter "W" That always means "warning." Now the "W" seems to be the border of the black outline from about the trees in a circular pattern. Directly over Our Lady's statue beyond the black border of the "W", the warning, the sky is becoming a very clear blue. It takes away that feeling of, oh, not terror - something being ominous, a warning. (9-13-78)
Veronica - There is appearing a large - a large arrow pointing up towards Heaven, a very large arrow; it's pointing to Heaven. And now the back of the arrow is trailing a long, long tail across the sky over to the right. And it's now, it's making a very large "W" - the tail - in the sky: Warning! (6-16-73)
Then...Oh, it is raining very heavily, and I see waters again but not like the others. These are coming from like mountains. And the water is pouring down from the mountains onto the houses. And they're - terrible! Houses are just washed away like they're a piece of paper. And people - they're trying to hold onto the trees. Oh! Oh!
I never saw a city...with water....It's impossible, but it's happening. Oh! People are in subway stations and the water is coming in.
And now it's growing very dark...very dark. And now there's appearing over the dark sky a great letter. Oh, it, it doesn't look good. The letter is “W.” It's written in the sky: “W,” but it's all in black, a huge “W,” all in black, written above the eagle. The tip of the “W” comes almost level with the top of the flagpole, the center part of it. “W.”
"Warning! Warning! Warning!" A voice repeated three times: "Warning! Warning! Warning!" Three times. (10-2-73)
Veronica - ... written in the sky is a large “W.” “W” means warning. Ah! oh, ah. (pause) Oh. (12-7-73)
Our Lady - "O My children, I have come to you as a Mediatrix from your God. I bring to you a warning from Heaven. There shall be sent upon you a great Warning and if this Warning is not heeded, you shall receive the Ball of Redemption.
"All prophesy, My children, all warnings have been conditional, conditional to man's response. My children, we now count only in the few those who will be saved." (6-24-76)
Many Will See and Still Not Believe
Our Lady - "There will be sent upon your earth a great Warning of great magnitude. It will be recognizable to all. Many will see and still not believe. Pray for those who have covered themselves with blindness. When I speak to you, My child, of blindness, it is the state of the spirit. The world of man has lost sight of the road to the Kingdom. Man no longer honors My Son upon his knees. Should you not return to the rule, you will be forced to return to your knees." (9-13-73)
Jesus - "My children, you are fast approaching a great Warning and Chastisement. Prepare your homes well. Prepare the souls of your children; many shall be removed to save them." (12-31-77)
Jesus - "There shall be set upon mankind a great Warning, far greater than man has ever experienced upon earth; and woe to the man who has not repented before the Chastisement. There will be much gnashing of teeth and woe set upon the earth." (5-23-79)
Accidents That Are Not Accidents
Jesus - "My children, I do not approach you to bring fear to your hearts, but to counsel you as a just God, to warn you, that there is a great Warning and Chastisement approaching. Many accidents that are not accidents! As you sow, so shall you reap!" (6-2-79)
Our Lady - "The warning which will be sent upon man must be effective; and in the mercy of the Father, a great spectacle will then be placed in the sky for all to see. However, the agents of hell will try to prove - disprove the hand of the Father in this Miracle." (12-24-73)
Our Lady - "His Mercy, the Father, knows no bounds, therefore you must get down now on your knees and pray and do much penance for the great offenses being committed now upon your earth. There is a scale now - no man knows the balance - but the scale holds the fate of mankind. When the forces of iniquity far exceed the forces of good, know that the great Warning and Chastisement is upon you." (8-5-74)
Our Lady - "Therefore, take the blindness from your heart, close your eyes, close your ears, listen with your heart and you will be given the light. Ask and you shall receive. It is of free will that you reject the word of God or accept it. Every man will beheld accountable for his soul. None will fall to Satan, unless of his own free will. The time grows short. I admonish you, My children, there is to come upon you a great Warning, of such magnitude that every man, woman and child, will feel the burning fires within!
"No, My child, you will not see the burning of the body, as you viewed in the abyss. I told you, My child, and repeated it, it is a Warning. It is not the Chastisement I speak of." (9-28-74)
Our Lady - "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." (4-5-75)
Jesus - "The Faith is being attacked in My House upon earth, My Church, and many of My clergy are falling into the plan with the octopus, the great world powers that seek to gather all nations into a rule of a one-world government and a one-world religion based on humanism and modernism. However, this shall not be set in motion to a conclusion with the loss of souls. This shall not be set in motion because the Eternal Father will send a Warning to mankind, a great Warning of such magnitude that very few will doubt that it comes from the Eternal Father and is not man-made." (7-25-78)
Our Lady - "Know, My children, you are going through the time of test and trial. All that is rotten will fall. The sheep will be separated from the goats. There will come upon mankind in due time, a great Warning, a great Warning of magnitude beyond human comprehension. And then, should you not change your ways, there will come upon mankind one of the greatest chastisements ever seen before, nor ever shall be seen again. Skin will dry up and blow off the bones as though it had never been. Many eyes will see an
d yet not perceive the truth, so much have they blinded themselves to the truth of the light, turning away from their God and giving themselves to the mores of the world that has now turned to satan." (4-13-74)
Jacinta - "Yes, I tried to warn everyone of what was going to happen to the world of the future. Our Lady said that the little Father in Rome would suffer great persecution, but much of this persecution would come from his very own, those that he trusted. That is why the picture was given to you to send the message throughout the world." (6-8-74)
A Major Miracle at Bayside
Our Lady - "No, it is not in the will of the Father at this time. However, you will be given many manifestations, and then My Son will perform from these sacred grounds a major miracle that will bring all to the knowledge and reality that there exists a God Who is the Creator and rules Heaven and earth." (5-30-73)
Jesus - "My child and My children, We have gone throughout the world, in various places for many earth-years, trying to warn mankind that unless he changed his ways great chastisements shall fall upon all mankind. There have been wars and rumors of war going now throughout the world. There will be a great war, but first you will receive the Warning, the great Warning. Many hearts shall stop with fear." (10-1-88)
V. The Great Miracle at Garabandal, Spain
Our Lady - "My child, many will see and still not believe so great is the darkness of the spirit. Believe what you see at Garabandal!
"No, My child, it will not be removed by mankind. It has been four long years, but I promised you that you would see this, My child.
"The forces, the evil forces, My child, of 666 will lead a band of fools against Garabandal.
"The majesty of God will be much evident at this time. Should this great miracle be cast aside and rationalized by atheistic, scientific man, I assure you, My children, the Chastisement will come upon you with great force." (7-15-74)
Our Lady - "The morals of your world, the sins of the flesh, condemn many to hell, My children. Do not cast aside My warnings. I come to you as a Mediatrix from God, a Mediatrix between God and mankind. My heart is heavy, for you are fast approaching the great Warning and the furious onslaught of the Chastisement.
"O My children, if I could only show to you, before your very human eyes, only a small measure of the Chastisement that will be set upon mankind, how fast you would turn and run and remain close beside My Son at the tabernacles of the world." (12-7-76
Our Lady - "A great Miracle shall take place. Scientists will seek to rationalize this Miracle." (6-12-76)
Garabandal
Our Lady - "You must cleanse your souls of all sin, mortal and venial. Come to My Son in belief. Believe what you see at Garabandal, and turn back from your ways that have been created by satan. Return to the Father; do penance and atonement, for your chastisement will soon follow upon the great spectacle. I bless you all, My children, as the Father blesses you with sad heart." (12-24-73)
Intervention Deemed Necessary
Jesus - "You're not to be a feared at the coming days ahead, for you will pass through this without injury to your human body. Should you receive the fight, you have been prepared.
"The Father has found it necessary to send upon the world an intervention.
In this manner He plans to bring many back to their senses. They have lost their way, having surrendered themselves to the pleasures of the world. Many will return when they are forced back by suffering. The Father is of great heart that He may reach His children without further intervention after the great Miracle." (12-24-73)
Jacinta - "It is true that I gave a final message but I too could not give the date, only to warn the world that a great warning would come to mankind. It would be a great cataclysm-warning, and then there would be a great miracle, and after that if nothing changes and man continues to offend the Father, He would have to start this terrible trial, for there will be a great War and there will be a great terrible Chastisement." (6-8-74)
VI. The Rapture
Many Shall Be Taken Up in the Rapture
Jesus - "My children, there are many good to be saved; there are many children of God still in these areas about your country. However, I cannot promise you a life without thorns upon your earth. Many good will suffer with the bad. There will be a gradual removal from within your world of the good; many shall die in their earthly bodies and many shall be taken up in the rapture." (7-15-77)
The Rapture
Our Lady - "I give you great grace of heart, My children, to know that many shall be taken from your earth before the great Chastisement. It will be of great mirth, My child, to reveal to you that there will be much consternation and conflicting thought when these beloved children disappear from the earth. Many of your news medias shall state that they have been carried off by flying saucers. Oh no, My children! They were carried off into a supernatural realm of the Eternal Father to await the return of My Son upon earth." (12-7-76)
Jesus - "Man shall be working out in the field. One shall be taken. Man shall say, ‘Where has he gone? He has disappeared without warning ‘ A woman shall work at the spindle - two at the spindle. One shall be taken, and where has she gone? The mystery unfolds. It is in the plan of the Eternal Father that many shall be taken from among you. The mystery shall be found man.
"I promise in those days that those who remain shall meet with Me to establish My Kingdom of peace and joy upon your earth." (1-31-76)
Jesus - "Sin is insanity, and one sinful man shall set the world aflame. A world on fire and nations disappearing from the very face of the earth!
"Many shall be removed in the rapture. My children, the Eternal Father has a plan for each and every life that He has placed upon earth." (5-27-78)
Jesus - "Now, My child and My children, you will firmly now go forward without any hesitation. You must get the Message from Heaven out as fast as humanly possible, for your time is growing short. Remember, without prayers and atonement, the world will become devastated. The Third World War will leave no earth upon the land. There will be no earth, there will be no human beings; but a grouping would have been taken up into Heaven, My child and My children, to await the terrible devastation that falls upon mankind."
"Yes, My child, numerous earth years ago I told you that some will be removed before the great catalyst. All who are of well spirit need not give their lives to the Father in fear, but all who are of good spirit will receive many graces to save their families and themselves." (5-28-83)
VII. The Great Worldwide Chastisement
St. Robert Bellarmine - "There will be given many warnings before the Chastisement. One major warning will be given soon to your country. The Chastisement and cleansing will come in two parts of the world. One will be in your side.
The Chastisement
Veronica - Oh, Our Lady's showing me a large globe. I can see the United States and Canada. And I can see South America. And also now Our Lady's pointing over to the left side of this globe. And there's Asia, Egypt, Africa. And then, oh! there is a terrible war. Many, many people are dying. Many, many people will die, Our Lady said. Many souls unprepared to come to the Kingdom.
Now Our Lady is pointing over - over on the right side there's a large globe. Now out in the sky I see - it's a ball - it looks like the sun, but, no, it's trailing - it's spinning very fast across the sky. And it has streamers of fire coming out from behind it. And it's twirling so fast. Oh, and the heat - it's very intense.
Now one of the tails has hit - oh! Oh! I see - I - I see cities now. There's a great fire. And all the lights - there's no electricity - all the lights have gone out. And people are running and trying to find candles. But the air has become stagnant. And there seems to be no oxygen. And they can't light the candles. It's very, very dark. (2-10-73)
Veronica - Our Lady pointed to a map - Veronica repeated - Egypt, Africa - then in the center - ISRAEL. Our Lady said: "THERE WILL BE A GREAT WAR. AT THE TIME OF THIS CRISIS THERE WILL RETURN THE LORD OF LORDS AND THE KING OF KINGS! PREPARE YOURSELF NOW FOR THE TIME FOR YOUR EARTH GROWS SHORT! A GREAT CHANGE WILL SOON TAKE PLACE! IT WILL BE THE END OF YOUR ERA AS YOU KNOW IT. PREPARE YOUR SOULS NOW. YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WARNED!" (11-20-72)
Our Lady - "My child, there is much to be done before the Warning, and then the great Chastisement. In between this shall come forth the Third World War. You will see carnage, and killings, and blood running in your streets, My children." (3-18-83)
Our Lady - "Yes, My child, there will be a great War and a great Miracle, and then the great Chastisement. It is all to come to pass. Yes, My child, the great Chastisement will be a Baptism of Fire. In your country there are areas, My children, that will fall into major catastrophe." (6-18-74)
Our Lady - "The plan for your redemption, My children, is simple. It is a plan of prayer, atonement, and sacrifice. Live each day as if you were to leave it the morrow.
"There will be a great War; there will be a great Chastisement; and of course, My children, there will be a Warning, a great Warning given to mankind. But how many shall recognize this also?" (5-26-76)
Our Lady - "There will be a great Warning sent to mankind. And should this not be acted upon, a great Chastisement shall soon follow. The numbers lost in this Chastisement are beyond all that human mind would comprehend!
"A disaster of great magnitude is approaching your country! Have you prepared for this? There will be in your country a great quake. The earth shall tremble, the homes shall fall and many shall be sent into oblivion! Many shall not be prepared and will be claimed by Satan! Pray, pray, My children! Send your Messages far and wide! A great disaster is approaching mankind! Your country will not escape this chastisement. Do not, My child, put this in the same measure as the Chastisement in the near future. This will be an additional warning to mankind!
"Awaken now from your slumber! You are soon to feel the hand of God upon your country! You, who have turned from your Creator! You, who have set yourselves up in pride and arrogance against your Creator!" (10-2-74)
A World War and the Chastising Celestial Comet
Our Lady - "I have counseled parents to guard their doors of their homes and make them strongholds for the children! It is the young now who have become the major source for the onslaught of satan to destroy the future of your country and many countries throughout the world. I say ‘many’ My children, because, as the days go on, the major disaster of the world war and the chastising celestial comet set upon mankind shall leave in its wake too few souls upon earth.
"The final count shall be in the few of those who are to be saved. My children, at this very moment of time upon earth, each and every person of conscionable age has been marked with the sign of the cross and redemption, or they have accepted on free will the mark of the beast, eternal damnation!" (8-14-78)
A. World War III for Three Days
Our Lady - “I speak to you with great heart and hope, but I cannot escape sending to you the Message from Heaven, which is a warning - a warning that unless you mend your ways that offend the Eternal Father now, your world will be cleansed by trial.
“There will be a terrible war - a catastrophe, My children. It will be beyond anything mankind has ever seen. Nations shall disappear from the face of the earth. Bodies will burn and blow away and find no resting place. There will be revolutions in the countries of the world - brother against brother, sister against sister. Bodies shall lie in the marketplaces, unburied and uncovered, so great will be the dead! My children, is this what you want?" (8-14-75)
Only What They Want You to Know
Veronica - Now I see a great field. There’s a darkness hanging over this field, and there are many, many crosses stretching as far as the eye can see.
Our Lady - "My child, you are witnessing the many who shall die in the great War. Already the forces are working to the consummation of this great World War, My child. Do not be deceived by the editorials, by your newspapers that have now been controlled by these forces, for you will only be given the knowledge of what they want you to know. It is often concealing the truth." (7-24-76)
On the Brink of World War III
Jesus - "My child and My children, you do not understand how close you are on the brink to the Third World War, which could break out any day now. All who are ready will not suffer the great cataclysm brought on by evil minds. You must all work and pray and do penance for peace among all nations; for We love Our children and We do not want to see them die, for many are unprepared and they come without Baptism." (6-18-84)
Our Lady - "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." (11-24-79)
Syria has the Key
Our Lady - "My child, one part only can be made known, given to you. Syria has the key to the solution of world peace or the third world war. It will be the destruction of three-quarters of the world. A world aflame, with also the Ball of Redemption." (5-30-81)
Jesus - "And if you think you have seen carnage now already in the Church, the worst is yet to come, unless you follow the rules, given by My Mother many years ago, of prayer, atonement, and sacrifice. By your example you may be able to save others. For soon there will come upon you the great Chastisement. It comes in two parts, My child and My children: the Third World War and, also, the Ball of Redemption. These can no longer be delayed. For the good seem to go about their way, perhaps pridefully. We do not seek to accuse or place a stigma on any, but some may pridefully sit back and let others go forth and make these sacrifices and prayers and penance. Because they have become smug, or because they have not the grace to understand, that once you receive this grace much is expected of you. You must even work harder to save your brothers and sisters." (6-18-86)
Wars shall Increase
Our Lady - "How long, My children, do you think that the Eternal Father will stretch His pity to excuse, or make excuses for these abominations. No longer, My children. This I bring to you as the most urgent message from Heaven. Wars shall increase, and the great world War, the greatest of all, shall befall mankind, and shall make extinct three-quarters of the world's population. Is this what you want?" (6-18-82)
Our Lady - "My child, I know you are affrighted at this knowledge, for I have given you others - other means of avoiding this in your country by spreading the words from the Eternal Father throughout the world. Yes, My child, the whole world must listen now, or they will be engulfed in a total world war. This war will be like no other war that man has ever suffered or seen. It will be the end of the world." (9-7-85)
Floods shall Increase
Jesus - "My child and My children, you do not recognize the floods that have been set upon you. These floods shall increase, and many will die; and these floods shall be in diverse places, places not known before to have had such an occurrence. Many mothers’ hearts will be saddened.
"Also, My children, I have tried to warn you through My Mother and countless other personages from Heaven to prepare, for you are fast heading for a war - the Third World War - the War that shall make mankind extinct but for the few who are chosen to keep up the Faithful and True banner before mankind - the Faithful and True banner that states, 'This is my Jesus.'" (6-18-84)
The Culmination of Armageddon
Veronica - Our Lady is pointing over now to the right side of the flagpole. The sky is lighting up. And I am looking into a mapped area that looks like - yes, it is Africa. And I can see...I'm looking over from the African part of the map, and I can see the other countries of Egypt and Israel. And, oh! Now Our Lady is saying:
Our Lady - "A coalition, My child, of the dark races. The world is fast heading to the culmination of the Armageddon."(3-18-75)
Veronica - Now as I’m watching - it's a map of - oh, I can see Jerusalem and Egypt, Arabia, French Morocco, Africa. Oh, my goodness! There seems to be a very dense darkness now settling upon those countries. Oh, My! And Our Lady is saying:
Our Lady - "The start of the Third World War, My child." (3-29-75)
Russia Has Not Been Converted
Our Lady - "This will tell you, My child and My children, that the major Chastisement shall be a Third World War, which is in the planning now. Russia has not been converted. And why? Because the Message I gave many years ago to the little children, and to those who had the heart to seek for the truth, I told them that unless they prayed the Rosary and wore their Brown Scapulars, death shall be a place among the living: death, such as no man could perceive in his human mind, to see the destruction of missiles and other contemptible, technological implements, made strictly from the knowledge of satan." (7-1-85)
Our Lady - "O My children, how I wanted to caress you and tell you good news, for I am not the bearer of bad news always. I am your Mother and must tell you the truth. I repeat again. My child Veronica, you repeat now in your weakened state, again: the Pope, John Paul II, and all the bishops of the world must allot one day on which they will pray for the conversion of Russia. Not one day for the world, but one day for Russia; or else, I tell you now, Russia will go about and annihilate, destroy many countries. Nations shall disappear from the face of the earth in the twinkling of an eye. That is how desperate the situation is now throughout your world, My children." (10-2-87)
B. The Ball of Redemption for Three Days
(Also see: http://www.tldm.org/news/PistolStarMesssages.htm )
Our Lady - "You ask, My child, again, about the Ball of Redemption. Yes, the Ball is out there, My child, in your atmosphere. There will be a great warning, there will be phenomenon of great magnitude, and there will be a great chastisement. All must come about. However, mankind holds the
balance for the coming events. (8-14-74)
Comet Within This Century
Our Lady - "I, as your Mother, I am terribly depressed in knowing what is fast coming upon mankind. I see beyond me a ball, a large ball. Were it placed next to the sun, this ball would be like two suns in the sky. But it is a ball of destruction, and I tell you, My children, we have been attempting to hold this back with all manners of graces and fasting and suffering. But the Eternal Father says, ‘Look up, My child’; He said to look far up into the sky. Your human eyes cannot perceive yet what is up there, but there is a ball to mankind known as ‘unknown origin.’ But it is not unknown: it is the Ball of Redemption.
"Do not be affrighted, My child; you must see this, for it is important. Within this century this ball will be sent upon mankind." (6-18-88)
Comet to Rush into Atmosphere Without Warning
Our Lady - "My child, that is a most tremendous ball you are seeing. It is the Ball of Redemption. It is at the fingertips of the Eternal Father to do as He wills. Pray that mankind will awaken and escape this great Chastisement, My child. It will rush into your atmosphere without warning. Scientists will look with fright as will the ordinary man." (9-6-75)
Three-Quarters of Mankind Destroyed
Jesus - "I have often warned you - that unless you turn back from your present road, a road that means the destruction of souls and the eventual physical destruction of many nations upon your earth - unless you turn back now, what more can I say, but to acknowledge the fact from the Eternal Father that a great Warning - preceded by minor warnings upon earth - a great Warning shall be set upon mankind. After this, unless you turn back and do great penance, make atonement to the Eternal Father for your offenses to Him, you will receive a great Chastisement. And in this Chastisement, approximately three-quarters of mankind shall be destroyed. My children, is this what you want?!!" (6-2-79)
Jesus - "Yes, My child and My children, the world now is being prepared by the Bear and will face a crucible of suffering. As My Mother has told you before, I will repeat again: There will be minor chastisements, and then will come the great Warning and the greatest of chastisement, a Chastisement such as has never been seen before in your nation or the nations of the world and we pray will never then be seen again. However, only a few will be left." (3-26-83)
"Jacinta 1972" Picture See more . . .
On September 14, 1971, Robert F. of Bayside took a picture of Our Lady's Statue with a Polaroid Instant Camera - develops on the spot. In eerie supernatural scrawl across the whole face of the picture are these words, "JACINTA 1972".
The word "JACINTA" that appears above the "1972" in the photo, has been juxtaposed on both sides of the picture to show how you may read the photo, and thus facilitate the task of searching for lines, figures and numbers.
Jacinta told Sister Godinho in Lisbon (the nun caring for her at her death bed) that her order "... might always remain united with the Vatican, and that they should prepare themselves for the year 1972..." because man's sins would bring on the world such punishments and cause much suffering to the Holy Father, "the poor little one." We now know through the Bayside message that the Holy Father Pope Paul VI was a prisoner in the Vatican from 1972 onwards.
The Date for the Chastisement
"My child, the picture 'Jacinta' must be read now by all of earth's children. You will give them this direction, My child. If it is in the will of the Eternal Father that they be graced to receive the truth, they will observe carefully and examine the photograph miraculous 'Jacinta 1972'. You will read the wording 'Jacinta' and search for lines and figures and numbers. Within the miraculous picture is given the date by God the Father for the chastisement of mankind. All will be conditional to the response of mankind.
"You must well remember the words of My Son to the world in relation to this miraculous picture: 'Consider this picture as a puzzle for the human race to figure out. If not solved in due time, I, Jesus, will set the answer upon the world Myself?' Within this picture, My children, is the date, the month, the year, the hour, of the Chastisement as planned by God the Father." (11-25-78)
One of the Greatest Gifts to Mankind
On December 7, 1978, Veronica said: The world must recognize the importance of the 'Jacinta 1972' picture. Our Lady asked that all read and examine the picture well. It is one of the greatest gifts given to mankind in these latter days, a manifestation from Heaven. All who are in the light will recognize and interpret the photograph 'Jacinta 1972', and they will not be taken unawares." For more information on 'Jacinta 1972' click here.
Ball of Redemption (Also see
On July 15, 1973, Our Lady said: "... When the Ball of Redemption is used as the chastising agent, you will see it for about two weeks before it ever hits earth. And that, I can assure, will be the most frightening incident for most."
Assuming June 13 to 18 is the time of the Great Chastisement, then on or about June 3, the comet is first seen with the naked eye. It comes closer and closer to the earth. Three days before it strikes the earth, World War III takes place on June 13, 14, and 15. The comet strikes the earth and cleanses the world on June 16, 17, and 18.
VIII. The Second Coming of Jesus Christ
GREAT HOPE
"Yes, your country and the world must go through great trial. However, I do not wish to fill you with fear, but to prepare you for what is to come.
"All who remain of well spirit will have no fear, but will go through these days of trial with great hope and rejoice with the Second Coming of My Son." - Our Lady, December 29, 1973
SECOND COMING
"For you will know when My Son arrives. He will come down with the angels with a loud shout of triumph to set your world in order....
"If My Son did not return, My child, there would be no flesh saved, so great will be the trial upon earth." - Our Lady, March 18, 1975
VICTIMS
"There will be, My child, upon earth, many chosen to be victims, victims for the mercy of the Father upon mankind. The greatest hope, the greatest joy, My child, I can give to mankind is the knowledge that the ultimate victory over satan will be the outcome of the second coming of My Son to your earth." - Our Lady, April 13, 1974
THE BATTLE RAGES
"The true Church of Jesus in Rome is being attacked by the forces of 666. It is a world-wide involvement that cannot be fully described at this time. It is a diabolical involvement that will be made fully known with the Second Coming of Jesus.
"The battle rages now, and all who have given themselves to the world will not understand, for they are of the world. And many now have adopted and accepted a new father—not the Eternal Father in Heaven, but the father of all liars, satan. All who do not recognize Jesus as the Christ is the Antichrist. Learn by this!
"The clergy who have given themselves over to errors and are misled, and some of great determination to destroy My Son's Church—why? Because they have lost the Faith. Pray, pray much for your clergy, My children. Without your prayers, many mitres shall fall into hell." - Our Lady, April 17, 1976
CANNOT FORCE
“My children, you must now make the choice. You have a free will. We cannot force you into Heaven. You must want to come, My children. I promise you, as your Mother, and as a Mediatrix between God and man, that I shall be with you to the Second Coming of My Son.” - Our Lady, October 1, 1977
THE APOCALYPSE EXPLAINED
"You have followed My directions well to read the writings of the good John, Saint John, as I wish him to be known upon earth. The Father used him as an instrument to give you the knowledge of the end days. I will explain the part, My child, that puzzled you most.
All are in symbolic form, but if you pray to the Spirit for the light, your mind will be opened to the truth. Know that there will be two phases with the closing of the Book of the Apocalypse placed on parchment by Saint John, the good John, on the island.
There will be great trial and punishment, tribulation in the House of God, the houses of God throughout the world, and in the lay life of the human being. The fight will be a war of the spirits. The pages of the apocalyptic times must turn. All who remain after this time of great trial will join with My Son in setting up the Kingdom that I promised you, the time of great peace. It will only be with you, this great peace promised, at the return, the Second Coming of My Son, Jesus.
After the great tribulation, the number saved will be counted in the few. They will join with My Son and continue on with a life of great joy and glory to the Father as planned in the beginning. Satan will tempt none ever more unto the time allotted given to him before the great and final judgment.
Satan will be chained, My child, for a number of earth-years. He will no longer roam to tempt mankind. My Son shall be the Ruler upon earth; and then after this time, satan will be loosed once again to tempt mankind, as man will then evolve back into his human nature and find himself offending the Father and sinning once more.
Then will come the general, final judgment upon mankind, the end of time. It will be at this time that there will come unto you a new Heaven and a new earth—the new Jerusalem promised from the beginning of time by the Father.
Your spirit will return to your bodies. United will be the body and the soul. And as such, you will be set in judgment.
That, My child, will give you a condensed knowledge of what lies in the pages I asked you to read.
You must, My child, awaken your brothers and sisters to the fact that the days ahead have all been in the plan of the Father, knowledgeable to Him, as He knows all past, future, and present.
Read the Book of love and life, your Bible. Do not discard these apocalyptic days, My children. Try to unravel these symbols and secrets. They are not difficult. Hidden within the pages you will find the full story of the days ahead. However, the pages will turn only as mankind deems, slowly or faster. At the present time, My child, it is like a great wind has taken the Book and blown it away, and the pages are turning faster and faster, bringing man faster to the end of his time.
Do not be afraid, My child, to repeat all that I have made known to you. They will call you a prophet of doomsday. Ah, but, My child, how sad it will be when they recognize all that was given to them, the knowledge that they chose to cast aside, caring more for the things of their world than for the joys and treasures of Heaven that cannot ever by despoiled or removed. A life eternal with happiness and glory discarded for the pleasures of the world of satan! O My children, is it not any wonder that My tears fall! They fall as teardrops from Heaven. I am truly a Mother of great sorrow!" - Our Lady, September 13, 1974
Now is the time to pray, repent, and prepare yourself and your loved ones for these momentous events. Come, Lord Jesus, come! Amen
