Our Lady: "My child, are you frightened? There is no need to be frightened. I do not wish to frighten you. Man has been treading this road for quite a while. When the destruction falls, it is only because he has refused to come to Us. We have begged for atonement, sacrifice, and prayer. Should they turn away [from Us], I must bow to the will of the Father; and even I must turn My back upon the sorrow I shall see.

"The knives in My heart are countless, My child. This, My child, is the hour. We, too, are busy. Many of those who have spent their lives on earth are with Us in this battle. Continue in your acts of sacrifice. You must continue to release those souls from purgatory who will join you in this final battle.

"Woe to evil man who has sought to destroy the souls of the young. He goes about sowing the seeds for his own destruction.

"Many signs and manifestations have been given to the world. Some have been recognized and others have been cast aside in blindness. Many of you will not even give credit to your God for the destruction He will bring upon you.

PLOTTING AGAINST HOLY FATHER

"Our Vicar, your father on earth, will need your consolation. He is much grieved, My children, by the disobedience about him. There are many who are already plotting against his life.

"Beware, My children, of those about you parading as angels of light. I repeat that you must flee from them. Flee from your false pastors—not to bring discredit to My Son's House, but to prevent the souls of your children from being contaminated by the evil. He (Antichrist) is working hard within My Son's Church, but this you will remember in the days ahead: they will not be triumphant. No evil is ever triumphant. We will come down now with the sword and destroy these evil ones in My Son's House. But even those are My children, and I seek to bring them back to Me—those who once were in the light and now have walked into the darkness.

"I extend to you the knowledge, My children, that the last grain is approaching in your hourglass. The measurement of time on earth does not coincide as a balance with time in Heaven.

"We will expect those who have been given the grace to come to My hallowed land here to take about the messages that I have brought to you, My child. It will be necessary in the gathering of the souls now.

"Charity, My child, love—spread the love from your Father to those about you. Grieve for each soul that has fallen. Pray for all men of sin.

CHASTISEMENT TO COME

"Unless you are able to penetrate the darkness with the knowledge of truth, many will carry the cross with My Son. I tell you now: count not on the extension of this Chastisement; for, as I repeat to you, the last grain is approaching.

"Were it not for the merciful heart of My Son in the Father, you would get much worse, My children, that [which] is planned, for it to be meted to you. Your balance, My children, will be measured by the extent of the sin in your land, the sin throughout the world, the offenses to your God.

"The hour has struck, My children; there is no turning back. You can only hold back the darkness now. I am not abandoning you in the days ahead. I am always with you. The final decision will first come from man to the Father, and from the Father goes forth His decision to man.

"When you find, My children, a cancer that is constantly growing and destroying everything about it, all you can do, My children, is to cut out that cancer.

["Continue with] the Rosary, My child, and await Jesus as has been directed. [He will be] with you at the completion of this Rosary, My child."

[Pause]

Veronica: Jesus is blessing everyone here tonight. Oh, Jesus is extending His hand. And He says:

Jesus: "I bless you for My Father and My Mother.

"My children, I have come not to add to the words of My Mother, but to give you My heart that has shed every last drop of blood for you.

"Would I return now, what shall I find there but no faith? It is not that We wish punishment upon you, My children. This decision will be made by you in the days ahead, which are—I give you this word now—are few.

"You, My child, Veronica, will continue the work that has been given to you. I have made a promise to you, and We intend to keep this promise, My child. So remember when the days ahead are filled with rocks and thorns, the glory beyond the veil will make up for all the suffering that My children, who remain true to Me, will endure in the days ahead.

"You will continue, without stopping, to bring the words of My Mother to the world. Every soul will be given a free choice. Should he fall, it will now be of his own choosing.

"The Kingdom of Heaven was made for all, but all will not enter unless they shed their blindness and repent of their own will. Many have cast aside the graces given to them. They are blinded to the eventual fall. They have been misled to believe that their life will be endless. Every hair of your head has been counted. Every moment of your life is balanced."

Veronica: Jesus is extending His hands. In the palm of His hands there are very large holes. I can see the crown of thorns upon His head.

Jesus: "Save yourselves now, My children, in My most Sacred Heart. I bless you all. Come to Me in belief."

Veronica: "You may extend your Rosaries or any sacramentals of your choice," Jesus said.

Jesus blesses the Rosaries and the sacramentals like this: He is making the sign of the Trinity.

Jesus: "Pray for all men of sin in the days ahead."

TESTIMONIAL

[Later, a lady came forward and spoke to Veronica.]

Veronica: Let this lady tell you what happened.

Lady: "Look, four months they have been looking for that girl, sixteen year old girl, she run away from home. . . . [words not clear]. Last week I was here, I told the only Child of the Virgin Mary that for the Holy Mother to find her."

Veronica: "That's what you asked Padre Pio, too."

Lady: "On Tuesday I called her [the mother] and told her to sit down and say the Rosary every day. And she came in my house Saturday and told me she found the girl. Only three days later."

Veronica: "Three days later?"

Lady: "May I ask you something? I'm sorry, I don't speak much English, but I hope you understand."

Veronica: "We understand you. You speak fine."

Lady: "I think what she needs lots, lots of prayers. She loves everything. Please, that everybody remember her in your prayer, please, every day. Thank you. That she may get, you know, that the vision of Mary takes a part in her heart. She needs that more than anything now, please."

MIRACULOUS PHOTOGRAPH

Veronica: . . . wouldn't mind me telling you what happened.

Several weeks ago—no, this was in April, last year. Well, a woman brought her son. He had been on drugs. He was a typical hippie—long hair. So she dragged him over. She said, "Please do something for my boy. I know if anything happens he'll be lost." So he said, "What is that thing?" And then Evelyn had her camera, you know, so she said, "Would you like me to take a picture of you by Our Lady's statue?" He said, "Well, not me, but I'd like a picture of the statue." So Evelyn took the picture. And this is the truth, the boy still has the picture. There it was; it was quite, quite . . . [words not clear]. But would you believe that where Our Lady's statue was everybody came out in the picture, but as though a curtain was pulled down, a shade; there was no statue. His mother said, "See how bad you are? Even Our Lady won't appear and let you see Her statue."

It was eerie, the photograph. It was like a shade had been pulled down. There was no statue there. All the people praying and everything, but there's a whole black part of the picture. So what happened? She says, "Where's the nearest priest?" She took him to find a priest. She was petrified. She knocked on St. Robert's door.

That finished him, when he saw—She said, "See, the Blessed Mother won't even let you see Her statue."

Rose notes from Veronica:

JACINTA 1972 PHOTOGRAPH

A miraculous picture was received. A man took a picture of the Our Lady's statue with a Polaroid instant camera, which develops on the spot—no negative. In eerie, supernatural scrawl across the whole face of the picture are these words: JACINTA 1972.

Jesus said, the next day: "Consider this a puzzle for the human race to figure out. If not solved in time to come, I will set the answer upon the world Myself.

The future is now!"
