Our Lady: "Please pray the Rosary more slowly and think of what you are praying.

"My Son's mercy knows no end. My Son has a plan, for He does not want to see anyone lost."

At this time there was a great disturbance which had disrupted the perpetual meditation of the Rosary. Our Lady said:

"My children, do not be afeared. This is only a plan of satan's to disturb you. Continue with your prayers. Realize, My children, that the power of satan is very great, and he seeks to stop you in your prayers of atonement. Please believe what I tell you, My children. There is nothing to fear."

A quietness fell upon all the people. The Rosary continued, and Our Lady spoke again to Veronica, saying:

"My child, at this time there is nothing further to say. I expect you to be guided by the signs of the past, and I will guide you to the great pause that is ahead.

"I do not wish to instill fear in you, but I must admonish you with a Mother's loving heart to bring the souls you love to Us soon.

"I am not leaving you, My child. (The Blessed Mother had stepped back.) I am standing a distance from you.

"My heart is heavy. I feel the last drops of blood have left My heart, and My Son's has already filled the cup. I want you now, My children, to keep a constant vigil of prayer. I will be with you to guide you.

VOICE-BOX FOR HEAVEN

"My Son has made you His messenger, and this We expect of you: the carrying of the mission of love that We have entrusted to you as Our voice-box. Though We may seem distant to you, all you will have to do is call. Lift your hearts and thoughts to Us, for We are always with you, even in the days ahead.

"Jesus implores every soul that can truly love Them enough, to bring another soul to Them, as they will then surely receive a star in their crown in Heaven. For oh, what great joy in Heaven to know that We were able to snatch from Luciel a beloved child who he sought to ensnare.

"None will be lost to Us if there are enough who care. There can be ultimate joy when We go beyond the dark days ahead, for My Immaculate Heart will triumph over the darkness.

CALL ON ST. MICHAEL

"I would like you to call on Michael often. He is the guardian of My House. I must bring forth the sad truth, My children, that a House in darkness will wear a band of death about it.

"To survive in those days ahead, you will have to learn to live in the spirit. Can you not understand the meaning? Talk to Us, My children, with your hearts; do not speak to Us with your lips. We are waiting patiently. We need your love. Please, My children, do not forget Us, for only We will be able to carry you through the darkness. It surely rains teardrops from Heaven.

"Remember, My children, I am your Mother. I carry the light.

[Pause]

TWO MORE STARS TO FALL

"Tonight a star has fallen from the sky. Two more will fall before the great darkness." [At 11:50 a star had fallen.]
