[Veronica saw that St. Michael appeared with Our Lady. He escorted Her forward to about seven feet beyond the statue. He said:]

St. Michael: "Praised be His name! Praise to the Lord, the Creator of your universe, and your Lord! All knees will bow at the holy name of Jesus!"

[Our Lady then spoke to Veronica:]

Our Lady: "My child, you will make it known to all that the road ahead for your Vicar is marked with thorns. Prayers, My children, sacrifice; atone for your Vicar now. Among you, and in My Son's House, are those who are paving their road to hell. Our hearts are grieved, for they not only fall, but they take others with them—innocent souls misled into darkness. Woe to evil man who turns his back upon his God. When the hand falls upon him, he will not rise.

"My child, I am not here to fill you with fright. All will be good for those of well spirit. I am not here to rescue the good, but to awaken those who have turned their backs and are following Lucifer.

"Your world is in darkness. Our House is in darkness. I roam, My children, throughout the world, carrying the light. My steps grow heavy. The light is flickering. Won't you light your light with Me and help Us in this war of the spirits? Prayer, sacrifice, atonement—is this too much to ask of you?

BIBLE REWRITTEN BY SATAN

"We are patient, We are merciful, We are persevering. You will read the Book of life, My children. We left you a treasure of knowledge. But your Book is being updated, and this Book is being rewritten by satan. Be knowledgeable, My children, and understand that satan will not come to you as himself. He possesses the body of any unclean soul, be it man, woman, or child.

"I repeat to you now: all parents will be held responsible for the fall of their children's souls. Give them a good foundation, and when they are subjected to the storms of evil, they will not crack and crumble under the onslaught.

"Permissiveness, My children, is destroying you! Laxity of discipline, parents who involve themselves with things of this world—what has become of the dedication? What has become of the laws given to you by Our prophets? They are thrust aside. They have been changed to suit the weakness of man. How long do you think I can hold back My Son's hand? We see the vilest of evils being committed in your country and throughout your earth—the lowest of abominations, the desecration of My Son's Body, the desecration of young souls.

"The brood of vipers in your country—why do you open the doors to this evil? Have I not warned you for years, My children? You are being deceived and led blindly down the path to your own destruction. Listen to Me!

"This year they will recrucify My Son.¹ You are receiving one of the final warnings.

1. On September 7, 1978, Our Lady revealed: "My child, if you remember, I have counseled you in the past that all would remain secret until the proper moment. Now I give you this knowledge, My child, for all mankind to listen to and understand. In the city of Rome there will be great confusion and trial. Satan, Lucifer in human form, entered into Rome in the year 1972. He cut off the rule, the role of the Holy Father, Pope Paul VI. Lucifer has controlled Rome and continues this control now. And I tell you, My children, unless you pray and make My counsel known to all of the ruling fathers of the Eternal City of Rome, My Son's Church, His House, would be forced into the catacombs. A great struggle lies ahead for mankind. The eventual outcome is for good of all, for this trial in My Son's Church will be a true proving ground for all the faithful. Many latter-day saints shall rise out of the tribulation." On August 14, 1978, Our Lady further revealed it is lucifer's plan to capture the seat of Peter: "Lucifer and his agents, the forces of 666 . . . are ready to enter upon the Seat of Peter." On May 13, 1978, Our Lady revealed: "My child, they converse of the secret that I gave at Fatima. It is a simple explanation. It could not be fully revealed because of the drastic nature of My message. How I warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest realms of the hierarchy in Rome. The Third Secret, My child, is that satan would enter into My Son's Church."

["Do not] be frightened, My children, of My warnings to you. We have given you your armor. If you receive the graces which I am giving to you in abundance, you will also have an emissary from Heaven with you. They are calling Our guardians a myth, but the very words that they use to condemn those of Heaven will be used to condemn them in the final count.

"My Son is God, was God, and will always be God. Recognize the evil plan of satan. My Son came to earth to be among you. He is God, was God, and always will be God. Recognize the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost as one: one in the Father, one in the Son, one in the Holy Ghost. Jesus is, was, and always will be!

DOUBLY BLESSED

"I hear all the entreaties of your hearts, My children. Some I will cure, others must carry their crosses. Do not misunderstand My words, My children. Those who will carry their crosses will be doubly blessed. We have asked for victim souls in these dark days. Carry your crosses, My children, with purpose. Offer your sufferings with My Son, Who suffered much for you.

"Know that all suffering will one day be ended for you. All tears will be dried, and the peace and beauty of the earth as We gave it to you will be restored. There will be trials ahead that I shall not give you full description of at this time, for We do not wish you to continue in fear. But there will be trials for My Son's House and in your country.

BLINDNESS FROM LOSS OF GRACE

". . . realize, My children, that he who does not recognize My Son as his Savior shall not be given the keys to the Kingdom. My Son has given you all in the Father an inborn conscience and guide. You will not be misled by satan or his agents or by his enticements if you do not throw away the graces that have been given to you. Your soul will only become tarnished if you fall from this grace or cast it willfully away. Then you will become blind, My children. All of you can become blind where you will no longer recognize truth."

[Veronica then saw that Michael placed his hand out in anger, pointing, saying:]

St. Michael: "Luciel, the most despicable of creatures, has seduced our children. Luciel, prince of darkness, lord of damnation, your time will be short!"

[Our Lady then spoke to Veronica:]

Our Lady: "You have been asked to wear a sacramental about your neck. Now I will explain why, My children. I have warned you of the unseen evil forces about you. I have cautioned you that your human eyes cannot see this. But it exists and is as solid in their world as you are on your earthly plane. Know this, that there are two camps now on earth: Lucifer on one side and the road to Heaven and its followers on the other. You have all been marked. There are two signs now: the mark of the beast and the mark of the living Christ.

PLAGUE OF DRUGS

"Recognize the signs of the times, My children. The war is on. My children, it is much easier to close your heart and your ears to the truth. Your human nature forces you to flee from all that does not feed your vanity. You seek good feelings. But, My children, you cannot become blind to the truth. Recognize the signs of your time, the plagues that have been already sent upon you. The medicinal deterioration of your children's bodies was well planned by satan. It is a plague within your country; it is a plague within the world. Destroy the mind and you can leave the soul to be conquered.

"Nakedness! Abomination! Aberrations have become the way of life in your country. Nakedness—have you no shame to expose your body and cause another to fall? Mothers, you allow your daughters to sin and cause others to sin in your permissive attitudes. Have you no protective instincts for your children? Do you subject them willfully to the ravages of satanic agents?

"Many arms will be needed in this battle. All who will help in this battle will be held dear in My Son's heart. Spread, My children, My message throughout the world. I tire; My heart is heavy. I have wandered the earth.

"We have chosen your city because it is like a cancer here, the nucleus of evil. Man no longer sees the evil in his ways. There is nothing that he will [not] fall to. He is now killing the creations of the Eternal Father. Who will be safe in your land, My children? You will one day grow old. Will you be a burden to your family, to be removed without heart? When you grow sick, you are ill, will you become too much of a burden to your society and they will remove you?

MAN REDUCED TO ANIMAL LEVEL

"It is easy to close your mind, My children, to the truth. Hearts will be hardened; compassion will be gone. Love of neighbor will become a jest. All the most aberrational forces of satan will descend upon you. Man will reduce himself to the animal level.

["The Eternal] Father gave man precedence over the animals, but he is now joining them. You fornicate! You break the laws of your God! Despicable women who desecrate their homes—what have you to gain but hell! What example do you show to your children? You are like dung in the streets! Mothers—don't use that word; call them harlots of the world. The laws of your God were given to you for reason, to keep you on the road to the Kingdom.

"You were placed on the earth, the Eternal Father placed you with goodness in His heart. You were here as pilgrims with a purpose: to make your way back to the Kingdom, to glorify your God. But now you turn to satan! There will only be a few counted in the final count. This choice will be yours. What you do now and up to the time when My Son returns will be your balance."

Veronica: Please, everyone, please. Have your cards, the Rosaries, the crucifixes, any mementos.

Now Jesus is walking over to the left side here of the pole. And He's blessing in the sign of the Trinity, like this. He's coming over to the side of the pole. And Jesus is dressed in a—in the light it looks like a burgundy robe. And He's got a small golden crown, very small, and it seems to be on the back of His hair. His hair is very long. And Jesus has a . . . well, sort of a reddish glint in His hair. But the light is so strong that it makes His hair look kind of reddish brown. And He's walking over now here, and He's—there's a child here. He's pointing down to the child; there's a child over here. And He said:

Jesus: "The children are close to My heart in their innocence."

Veronica: And Jesus walked by. And Our Lady is standing there, and Our Lady has this Rosary. It's beautiful; it's all white, and the crucifix is golden. The beads are very, very large. And Our Lady has a white gown on with a blue mantle. And the mantle has real gold. It's like—I don't know what it's like—the gold, little stones all down the mantle. Now Our Lady is smiling.

But She's showing, She's pointing over—oh, She's pointing over there, and—oh, oh, She's referring to somebody who has a short skirt above their knees—oh, dear—under the coat. Well, Our Lady said: "It's forgiven." [The pilgrim evidently asked for forgiveness.]

And as She walks over and—oh, just over to Jesus. Oh, She wants Jesus . . . Oh, Jesus said to tell you that His Mother is very concerned because She wants the Scapulars worn more. They're being discarded. But She gave the Rosary, She gave people, She said, sacramentals. And sacramentals, the Scapulars, are numerous in graces equal to the Rosary. Oh, She's holding—it looks like a green Scapular and a brown one. But there's one that has some kind of figures on it. I don't understand what it is.

ST. DYMPHNA

Oh! Oh, there's a young girl with Her. Oh, Our Lady said there are some people here who have a nervous illness. And She said that Saint Dymphnas; it sounds like She said Dymphnas [Dymphna]—She said that you are to pray and make her name known to the world.

Oh, she's very pretty. She looks like she's about thirteen years old. She has red-blonde hair, and she's dressed in—oh, it's beautiful! She has on a white gown, but a green robe over her—it's green, like satin. Sort of like—oh, like you see in those green stones. It's beautiful. Oh! Oh, she has also a little crown on her head.

Our Lady said We reserve many crowns in Heaven for those who—oh, will be martyred. Oh, oh! And there are—Our Lady is pointing over here, and there are many crosses. Oh, there are people on the crosses. Oh, dear! There are going to be many martyrs in the days ahead before Jesus returns. Our Lady said there will be many martyrs. There are hundreds of crosses.

Now Jesus has walked back. He's on the left side of the flagpole. And He said:

Jesus: "My children, continue with My Mother's beads."

[Pause]

Veronica: . . . in my own human words. Jesus said to tell the people that He's very much distressed. He looks in compassion upon the conditions on the earth. But He said He holds back in hope that man will mend his ways soon. He is a merciful God, and He seeks not to destroy the earth at this time because He said should the destruction come at this time there are too many souls that would be given to Lucifer.

And Jesus said to tell you that the name Luciel means Lucifer, that the earth—people of the earth named him Lucifer, but in Heaven he has been called Luciel.

. . . to please pray for the high priests in His House. And by the high priests, He means those in power who have the most influence for good but are using it for bad.

PRAYERS NEEDED FOR HOLY FATHER

Already the assassin has been chosen for the assassination of the Holy Father. We have to pray now, between now and the twenty-third of April, because unless enough prayers are received for the Holy Father, he will be removed from the Seat of Peter. And already there is one who will replace him who is an agent of hell. He's already been chosen. Therefore, we will say the Rosary now and continue for the rest of the evening for our Holy Father, Pope Paul.

[Pause]

THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS

Our Lady requests that at this time . . . [gap in tape].

. . . the cross, He was tied with narrow skin, pieces of skin, like rope. It looked like, like calf-skin or something from an animal-skin. And He was tied at the wrists, and He was tied at the ankles first before He was nailed. And He was nailed through the palms of the hands, and they would use five nails. They were not nails, they were spikes. They were this long. They were very funny looking and very wide—not wide at the base, but very crude looking.

Now when they nailed Jesus to the cross—another thing: when He carried—He didn't carry the cross. When Jesus walked to the outskirts of the town, He had a large log on His back, like a large log on His back. It was tied on, up near His shoulders with these pieces of skin. They were like leather-like, they were leather-like, thin pieces, like animal skin; and they tied them at His upper arms. And He carried the big log on His back, the long piece. And then when He got to the edge of the outskirt of this town on this dirt road, they cut the log, the skins off, and then threw the log down.

And they had five big spikes, and only five. And one nailed the two pieces of wood together to make the cross. And one went in each hand, and one was used for His right foot over His left foot. And it went right through both feet into the wood and cracked the wood. And the fifth—the fifth spike was used to nail the sign to the cross, that said Who He was.

And also, when Jesus received the crown of thorns, it was not a narrow, just crown of thorns. The soldiers couldn't handle it because they were getting cut in the fingers with the briers on this round circlet they make. So they sent—they sent outside, and this soldier came back with some palm stuff, and he wove it together and he made a headpiece, a hat, and he put these sharp briers inside the hat. And Jesus was sitting on this, on this seat. It had no back. It was woven like of some kind of straw.

And as they were taking—they would beat Him at this post, at the post, and they had put the nail up on the wood and they hung Him high up.¹ And they beat Him, and then they sat Him on this little seat. They took this headpiece, and they put it on His head. And they squeezed it down and the blood spilled—it ran all down on His face. And then this soldier hit Him on the head repeatedly and drove them in deeper—inside, they were, and the blood just poured down on Him.

1. See Veronica's description of Jesus' Passion March 8, 1971: They tied His wrists together and drove a spike into an upright beam. Jesus' hands were bound by strips of a brown, leather-like cord. Then the central part of the cord that bound His hands was looped over the spike in the beam. Poor Jesus was pinned by His hands.

And then when He was going out where they made these big nails, like big spikes, in a—it wasn't a room, it's like the side of a cave. And there were soldiers there, dressed in those short skirts with these metal things on them, like this, on it, and they also had what looked like slaves or something—very black, dark skin, very big men, and they were making these spikes. And they put it in—there's a big iron kettle, and they would put the spikes in and then they would hammer it with these other things and put it in this water. There was a big iron kettle over on the side. And that's how they made the spikes.

NAILED THROUGH HANDS, NOT WRISTS

And Our Lady wanted you to know that's exactly how Jesus was crucified. He was tied. And that's because they're making a mistake by putting the nails in His wrist. They don't understand He was both tied and He also had the spikes. The spikes went through His hands here.

That's why mystics, when they do receive the stigmata it's always in their hands. Because God would not send a lie upon His mystics. That was where the spikes went through—His hands. But they were tied at the wrists, and at the legs. And the spike went through the instep of the right foot, straight through to the left. It's a little off that bone that's on the—by your big toe that's there—off to the right of the bone. Because it missed the bone and it went right through into the instep. And Our Lady wanted you to know, and that's what happened.

And She said to continue with the Rosary.

Rose Notes from Veronica:

Jesus was very sad. He can look with compassion on the world. We must do all we can to ease His great pain.

God bless and guide you in the light. Pray for Pope Paul. Many prayers are needed. Jesus said pray for the high priests.
