Our Lady: "My children, your home must be a fortress. Your home must be unified. We look upon much division in your homes: father against son, mother against daughter—all the plan of the evil one. United you will stand, but to divide is to conquer. Recognize the evil throughout your land.

"Parents will be held responsible for the fall of their children's souls. Pray for the light; pray for your children, for they are the innocent victims in the web of evil that now spreads throughout the earth.

"The example being given in many homes is foul. We have asked you to keep the statues, the pictures, the sacramentals in your home, for when your children go without your door they are exposed to the evil that is enveloping the entire world in darkness.

"You are not ignorant of the fact that there are demons loosed now in your world. They are loosed with a plan of destruction for your children. You must not be misled by those who parade as angels of light, My children, for they have within them ravenous hearts. Do not be conditioned to accept evil or error, My children. Obedience is to your God.

"Every human being in his life span on earth will be subject to temptation, error, and the light or darkness of the soul. Every human will accept or reject My Son on his free will. The choice will be given to all. Before the cataclysm comes upon you, the word will have been spread throughout the world so that none can claim ignorance of the facts.

"You will not accept the rewriting of My prophets.

SATAN ENTERED HIERARCHY

"Satan has entered the highest ranks of My Son's Church. Pray for your priests. Pray for all those who have in their power the measure of the balance for the destruction of innocent souls. Many are being led down the road to damnation. Woe to evil man, who by his evil example and avarice of heart has chosen to sell his soul to Lucifer.

"All of well spirit shall have no fear, My children, for the light will be given to them. They will be guided on the road with My Son. You must keep in your heart the fact that one day My Son will return. He will set right the evil that is loosed upon your earth; but many must suffer and become martyrs, as was My Son, before that great day.

WORLDLY PURSUITS CAUSE BLINDNESS

"Should you become engrossed in your worldly pursuits, your desire for the material things of your world, you will be blinded to what lies ahead. You must now turn from the world that has been given to satan. You must now use the sacramentals given to you for your protection.

"I repeat, the sorrow of sorrows is upon you. The tempo of the evil is accelerating. When it reaches its highest peak, then you will be visited with the Ball of Redemption. The powers, the governments, will be as mad, My children.

"All must pray for the light that they do not be led into the darkness. Therefore, you will protect yourself with the sacramentals that We have given you.

"Confusion, confusion all about Us. If you do not ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you, too, will walk the road of error.

"You will all resort to family prayer in your home. You will build your home upon the things of your God: charity and love.

PLAN TO REMOVE HOLY FATHER

"Your prayers, your sacrifices will keep your Vicar safe. A true course of reparation is needed for your Vicar. There is, My child, a plan to eliminate him. It is being developed to remove him from Our House for one who is known as Antichrist to reign. Yes, this black leader is not black of color, but of heart. He will bring much evil into My Son's House.

[Pause]

READ THE APOCALYPSE

Veronica: . . . It's in symbolical form. But if you will pray, She said, read just a little bit, try to analyze it, because Heaven and the Eternal Father has always known what was to come to pass, that is happening now, and has left behind through the words and the writings of Saint John the very things that will transpire. Therefore, God—Our Lady—I'll try to explain it exactly as Our Lady explained it to me. She said that the Eternal Father in His love for man would want everyone saved in these desperate days that lie ahead, the latter days. Therefore, many things have been left behind on earth through the words of the prophets.

Therefore, if you will read your old Bibles that carry the Apocalypse of Saint John and don't think of it as something dry to read, but actually as coded secret words from Heaven, that if you take the time and pray for the light—if you find it difficult to understand, ask Our Lady in your heart; She will see that you will be able to understand.

The figures that they call the lion and other symbolism refer to powers and people. They're not lions or anything; it's just a symbolism, the form that Heaven uses. And if you'll read down in your Bible, there's parentheses [footnotes] down there that explain the words, you'll find . . . [tape cuts off]

[Pause]

Our Lady: "All who have received the light to come to these hallowed grounds have been directed here by My Son. I will dispense many graces from these hallowed grounds to strengthen you in these dark days from the evil that man has created of his own means in your world.

"I love you all, My children. We do not want to see one of you lost to Us. I look down into the abyss where the souls are falling as numerous as the snowflakes from the heavens. Each fall pierces My heart.

"Every soul placed on earth has a mission from the Father. Woe to evil man that destroys this soul before it has accomplished its mission. Woe to evil man who adds up the murders of the soul now.

"Your land is a cesspool of evil; the world is a cesspool of evil. And if you do not listen to Us now, you will be eliminated, so that the Paradise We have promised you from the beginning of existence will return. We will not send more souls to your earth to be destroyed in their infancy.

"I love you all, My children. Come to Me. My arms are open wide. I hold the power to save you. I have been given this power as the Mediatrix of all graces from Heaven.

SUFFERING TO SAVE SOULS

"Many who suffer physical illness, be consoled that many will be cured. But many will be asked to accept this suffering for the release of souls incarcerated in purgatory. Your suffering can be the instrument for the salvation of a fallen soul.

"In Our Heaven, there is but one glorious family. In Heaven all are brothers and sisters. Why, then, must you fight over body color, body dressing, body wealth? What does it avail you to squabble and fight for something you will leave behind when you come before Us? Work now, My children, not to dress your body but to feed your soul. And many are starving.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS

"Yes, you are all brothers and sisters, and as such, you have one bond in common with your God: that is love. And if you know the true meaning of love, you will reach out and save your brothers and your sisters.

"I repeat again for man who has lost the road: there is no race, there is no color, there is no wealth, there is no respect to body distinction of health. There is only spirit in Heaven. And as such, when you come to Us, you will be judged by the merits of your soul, your spirit, not by your gains on earth. Many have sold their souls to get to the head. What does it gain them, My children, when they gain all the world and suffer the loss of their souls? You will not buy your way into My Son's Kingdom. This you will gain by merit. This you will find in belief and love.

"All messages must be given to the world. The load will be heavy upon you, but My Son will fill you with strength in your work, My child. All will be given the strength to spread the message, for My words will be carried throughout the world.

"I have roamed the nations, and I am still walking your earth, My children. I will never stop until My Son returns with Me. It is only because of the mercy of the Father and His love for you all that I have been allowed to come down to you.

"Follow the light, live in the light, and We will gather you to Our bosom.

"I bless you all, My children. Continue with your prayers. They bring great solace to Our hearts, so torn with the evil We see about Us.

"A world in darkness, a House in darkness wears a band of death about it, My children."

Veronica: Our Lady said that Holy Church will pass through a heavy trial, but Jesus will turn all evil to good. Man will not escape chastisement unless he listens and repents now.

[When reviewing the handwritten notes after the message was finished, Veronica added the following:]

AGENTS OF ANTICHRIST

Veronica: What Our Lady was referencing—She made it clear that now in this age when She speaks of the false prophets, She means the agents of Antichrist, which are many—especially those, Our Lady says, who are now crying peace, but that's only a cover-up of the real truth as they cry peace where there is no peace and security, because they are trying to find this peace and security without God. And man will never make it on his own. That they have to learn, said Our Lady.

Pray for priests and all those who have the measure of balance of innocent souls. Many are being led down the road to damnation. Our Lady said it's a sad fact but true that there are many priests that are giving half truths and abominations which have led to their eventual damnation.

We're not just trying, Our Lady said, We're not trying to spread a crusade of fear or anything like that. What Our Lady said is the fact that these things are to happen, but those, She said, of well spirit have no fear because they will be given the light to know the right road to follow.

That "great day" is with the expected return of Jesus.

Our Lady said if you should develop an inordinate desire for the things of this world, you will find that you will become blinded to the truth. You must retire from the world that has become the playground of satan. You must turn to the sacramentals which have the power and the graces necessary for your salvation at this time to keep you from becoming mystified by Antichrist.

Our Lady stresses that the time of the sorrow of sorrows is now. We're going into 1972, and Our Lady assured us it's going to be a very difficult time. The evil is accelerating, Our Lady said, and when it reaches its peak the Ball of Redemption will be upon you. That is the ball of fire that Our Lady has made it known to me.

And we do have miraculous pictures. I have pictures, actually, of what is to come upon the earth. And many will die in the flame of this Ball of Redemption. And I will say that at the time of the cataclysm, I would say roughly—this was given to me by Jesus—about a billion people are going to die in the first part of the cataclysm. About a billion people will die when the first part of the cataclysm hits the earth. That's right.

SENATE OF ROME

Our Lady calls upon all governments, powers, provincials, and also, She stresses—She calls it the Senate of Rome—to turn back and mend their ways now, restore proper conduct while there is time.

Unless you pray for the light, you, too, will fall into the darkness, which will make you blind, Our Lady said, so you no longer recognize the truth. You will go the easy road. Unless you pray for the light, you will follow the easy road. And the road to Heaven was never easy. You will have to fight your way here because all the forces of evil now are being used against you. And it's a very heavy web, and the majority are going the easy way now because they love the things of the world and they sort of lose sight because there are so many temporary, you know, occasions we have here.

Actually, eternity is in the next world. And I myself, through Heaven's plan, have actually seen life after death. I have seen it, and I have much proof of that for holy Church later on. Knowing that, I know that where we live here is only temporary. But I know there is life beyond this world because I have seen many, many things in the last three years, and so have neighbors where I live. We now have actual evidence of life beyond death, or beyond our death here, what we call death.

Saint Theresa always says they ought to have abolished the word "death" because there is no such thing. She says you just go beyond the veil into the next world. But you never die; it's only you leave part of you behind. But the true part of you lives forever. Believe me, because I have seen it.

SOPHISTICATED SIN

Our Lady said in this era of sophisticated sin—Our Lady calls it sophisticated sin because She said man in our age has found ways of sinning far more despicable than they committed sins in the time of Noe. So therefore, Our Lady said, if Jesus couldn't stand actions done during the time of Noe, you could well imagine what's going to happen now. Because the flood destroyed, you know, the earth at that time, things had gone so badly. Yet now the sins of this world are far times greater than during the time of Noe, as he went into the ark. Yes, it is.

Oh, Our Lady talked about Pope Paul tonight. She said that your prayers and your sacrifice are all that will hold back what has been planned for him. A course of reparation now is needed for Pope Paul.

Our Lady said already the plan is to remove Pope Paul from Rome, so that the agents of Antichrist will place in his stead what we will call the "Black Pope." Now Our Lady said we're not referring to color, we're referring to his spirit and his heart. He will be the agent of the Antichrist, and Our Lady said there is a plot, this is the plan now.

OASIS IN A BARREN LAND

It is only because of Jesus that you people who are here tonight are here, because no one ever comes here by accident, Our Lady said. You have been directed here. For the fact that all who gather here on the grounds have been sent here directly by Jesus, in ways that—Our Lady said We use persons, places, and things to accomplish Our will. And that's why you are here, because you have been, would we say, chosen and given the opportunity to know what lies ahead so you can prepare for it.

Our Lady came to New York, She said, in order to give an oasis. She said it will be an oasis in a barren land. Therefore, She comes, as She has throughout the world now, to offer salvation to all those who will listen. She's going to place Her mantle over all who will listen and believe. That's right.

Our Lady is very angry about the murders here in New York. Every soul has been placed by the Father on this earth has been put here with a mission. No one is an accident. This is what She stresses, Our Lady. Every soul has been placed by the Father for a mission. And woe to man who has chosen to place upon himself the power and gone beyond his God to destroy this soul so that it could not accomplish its mission deemed by the Eternal Father.

The world is a cesspool, and your country is a cesspool. Our Lady said that the Eternal Father said He will not send more souls to be destroyed in their infancy.

Our Lady said if you will come to Me, She said I will save you because I, as the Mediatrix of all graces, have been given the power to save you, from the Father. I have been given the light to bring to you.

Many will have to accept their sufferings for the souls that are incarcerated in purgatory. If you will accept this in the right light, the suffering which We allow you to accept will be instrumental in saving souls which are in purgatory.

In Heaven there is only one glorious family of human beings of the earth. Our Lady said that in Heaven there is only the spirit. There are no such things as race, color, or creed. There is only the spirit. Why do you spend your time squabbling over things of no consequence because they will all be left behind.

The one bond you have in common is that every human being was placed here with a mission: to make its way eventually to Heaven. And if given the grace and strength to be stronger than your next neighbor, Our Lady expects you to reach out and bring the weaker one with you.

Many are selling their souls to get to the head, and that includes every walk of life because money has become power to man. They are idolizing money.

APOCALYPSE

And I will say Our Lady stressed the fact that She asked everyone to read the Apocalypse of Saint John because the pages are turning very fast as Saint John wrote it down.

But what he did is, he made it a little concealed when he wrote the Apocalypse. He used symbol figures. But if you're really interested and you ask Jesus for the light, He will give you the understanding to know that these symbol figures are not like animals, but they are powers and kingdoms and are concealed. . . . [words not clear.]

Now Jesus did say what happens in the future must take place. But what you can do—you can't stop it [the Chastisement] from coming, but you can lessen the suffering that will come with it. And you can also delay it with your reparation and sacrifice.

God bless and guide you all in the New Year!
