Veronica--. . . and across the dark sky, there's the figure of a serpent.

Now the sky is beginning to clear; the darkness is fading. Oh, Our Lady now is coming forward. She's over on our left side. Oh, the sky is becoming very bright, a brilliant glow that is extending over to the trees. The whole sky now is just centered in light. Oh!

OUR LADY DRESSED IN BLACK

Our Lady is dressed very strangely. I have never seen Our Lady in a dark color. She has on a black cape, and the--it's a mantle. And She has also about Her head a black cloth. It's separated from the mantle. I can see it hanging over Her shoulders. Now Our Lady is pulling the mantle about Herself so that I can't see the color of Her gown. Our Lady's feet are bare, and She's coming down.

Our Lady--"My child, I have sent you to wander in search for souls. Your world is heading for a great Chastisement. Do not be concerned of those who mock My words and mock the Message from Heaven. Pray for them, for tears will flow as freely as the blood.

"I am truly the Mother of great sorrow. I have come to you as a Mediatrix in these latter days. I repeat for you now the words of My Son: 'This, My child, is what will be: In darkness, will they seek the way?' In darkness, My child, will they seek the way?

BALL OF SUPERNATURAL ORIGIN

"There is in your atmosphere of earth a Ball of Redemption hurrying to earth. It is of supernatural origin. Those who have cast aside the knowledge of the supernatural shall not be given the grace to observe the coming Chastisement. When it enters upon your atmosphere, hearts shall be gripped with fear. Many shall run to hide themselves, recognizing the wrath of their Lord.

"The Ball of Redemption shall pass through your land and your world in a sheath of fire! Many shall die in the great flame of the Ball of Redemption. As in the time of Noe, so shall it be upon your earth--a Chastisement far greater than any chastisement sent upon mankind. This Chastisement, My children, is being gauged, measured, and held in abeyance for the proper moment in the knowledge of Heaven--the moment deemed by the Eternal Father for the cleansing of mankind.

"The leaders of your country and the leaders throughout the world have taken upon themselves a measure of sin creating insanity.

"In the light of the Spirit descending from Heaven, you shall be given the knowledge of truth, My children. Accept it and take it as your candle, for you must now go throughout your world saving your brothers, preparing them for what lies ahead.

"The great Warning promised to mankind is soon coming upon you. If this is not accepted as coming from the Eternal Father, you will bow your heads in sorrow with the loss of your Holy Father, Pope Paul VI, and then shall descend the hand upon you. There shall be set upon earth a sword.

[Pause]

"My child, do not be affrighted at what you are seeing now, for it is in repetition of the many insights given to you in the past. You will continue, My child, to send out the Message from Heaven. Hasten, for the time is growing short!

"Your country shall harvest a destruction that counts human nature defiled by mankind as its reward. As you sow, so shall you reap.

GREAT RAINS, PLAGUE

"There will be sent upon your country a plague. Many shall die. When the great rains start, know that many shall die.

"My child, mankind has lost the knowledge of the value of suffering. Many shall not turn to their God, My child, until they are forced to their knees with suffering.

"The spirit of darkness--the prince of darkness--has set his forces upon your world, and the evil is accelerating.

"While mankind seeks peace, he prepares for war. He consorts with the enemy for the destruction of souls. He consorts with the enemy for the destruction of nations. For power and darkness of spirit, many shall die.

"My message, My child, cannot be one of a light vein, for how can I bring to you a knowledge of such heartbreak and sorrow that shall be set into the hearts of mankind!

"My child, the leadership in your country is poor. You will pray for your government leaders. The Eternal Father has looked into a cesspool of corruption. They will cleanse their house, or it will be burned!

"For the love of money and power, My child, many souls have been sold to satan. For the love of money and power, many have misled the sheep. Pastors, shall you stand before My Son and say that your teaching has been pure in His sight? What manner of vile corruption have you set, in your teaching, upon the children?

"Brides of Christ in Our convents, whatever shall become of you? You know neither discipline nor love of suffering for souls. You adorn yourselves with all things of your world. You strip yourselves of graces needed for your salvation and the salvation of your brothers and sisters. You shall not, in your vocation, compromise your Faith. You cannot have worldly gain, worldly acknowledgement, and still enter into the Kingdom of eternal life.

"My child, in the great trial ahead in My Son's House, Church on earth, there shall be bishop against bishop and cardinal against cardinal, as satan has set himself in their midst.

"My warnings at Fatima were cast aside as they are being cast aside now, My children. It is a failing of human nature, My child, that that which does not give pleasure to the carnal nature of man is not accepted. Man shall blind himself to the truth, as he does not wish to face the truth. And those who seek to bring him the truth are cast aside and do much penance, My child.

"My child, you shall not seek to meet with Our Vicar in Rome, for if you do, you will meet with the adversary. All contact with the Eternal City, My child, shall be through mail and others whom We will send to you. You must proceed in the mission and work from Heaven, My child, with great caution. Bar your doors to all but your close friends, relatives, and those whom We have sent as immediate workers.

"As it was in the time of My Son upon earth, so it shall be in your time. All children of God shall enter upon a crucifixion. But carry your cross, My child, My children; carry your crosses with great fortitude and perseverance, for the victory is with My Son.

"You will find a great struggle in gathering the sheep, pastors of light. You will not compromise your mission, Our pastors. If you compromise by pleasing those who have set themselves to rule you, and if you compromise without the love of God and accepting the will of God, and replacing it for the will of man, in obedience that has been darkened by sin and false obedience, blind obedience--no! You shall not cast aside your God to please any man! Come forward; step out of the darkness, Our pastors! You are misleading Our sheep.

"The children--the children, what shall become of them? Heresy, O mournful heresy! Who will cleanse My Son's House upon earth? Abomination upon abomination--the sword pierces My heart. The defilement of My Son's Body! O abomination upon abomination--whatever shall become of you?

FALSE PASTORS TO BE CAST OUT

"All reverence, My children, all discipline must be returned to My Son's Church. False pastors shall be cast out! Tradition must be maintained. You shall not bring in doctrines of devils! No! You shall not seek change, as you are given this by satan. My Son does not want change that sets you into darkness.

"A firm foundation shall withstand the trials and storms of time. All that is rotten shall fall. My Son, My children, is your foundation. The Church of man shall be the destruction of man!

"There are evil powers, My child, being set up to enslave your world. I have begged you, I have asked you through countless years to pray much for the conversion of Our adversary. One nation--Russia, My children--shall be your scourge, as they shall go across the world, ravenous in appetite, destruction as their means for enslaving the world!

"Pray, My children, that they should but destroy your body and not your soul.

"I have asked you to retire from this world of yours that has been given to satan. Homes shall be a fortress against the evil. You will nourish the souls of your children within your home. Strong fathers of strong will--discipline! Mothers of good example--examples of purity and piety, and chastity! It is a sorrow to My heart to observe that the nature of mankind has become as animal.

FORNICATING LIKE ANIMALS

"All manner of fornications and abominations are being committed by mankind. The sanctity of the marriage vow has been defiled and cast aside. You are fornicating like animals!

"You must hasten, My child, to warn the good sister whom you visited that she must guard her door and bar it well to all who seek to enter to destroy. They come as angels of light with great knowledge, but it is the knowledge of the world and not of the spirit.

"Speak once, My child, and if not hastened, speak no more but keep it in your heart that it may not be his decision."

Veronica--Now Our Lady is opening up Her cloak. Oh, She has on a beige-colored gown, and it has a gold belt about it. And Our Lady has on slippers, but they appear to be a brown leather slipper--more like a sandal, with a strap and two pieces of leather through the toes. Now Our Lady is reaching to Her waist, and She's holding now forward Her Rosary, the beautiful white Rosary with the golden Our Fathers and the golden crucifix.

Our Lady is holding the crucifix in front of Her and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Now Our Lady is going over to the right side, and She's bending over now and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Now Our Lady is going--oh, it's getting very bright now above Our Lady. Oh, and Michael is coming down. And he's wearing a long white gown now, and he has a sword, a very heavy-looking sword in his right hand. He's holding it by the handle, a cross-like formation on the handle.

Now Our Lady is moving over to our left side, and She's placing Her hand out with the Rosary: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Now Michael is coming over to Our Lady's right side, and he's placing the sword out just in front of him, like this.

St. Michael--"Hasten, harken, and listen, for I shall not repeat this to you!

MAN BEHIND THE MASK

"There is a man who hides behind the mask ruling your country! He will soon approach and reveal himself. He is the man who compromises your country for the love of power.

"He has affiliated A-L-L of the money powers of the world, joined them for unity of a one-world government.

"Step down and reveal yourself, the leader--"

Veronica--Oh, my goodness! Oh, my goodness! The man behind the mask--Mr. Rockefeller, the man behind the mask!

GRAND MASTERS IN CONTROL

Our Lady--"There sets in your country masters of great magnitude. Recognize the Grand Masters in control! As it was in the time of My Son, they now control your country. A synagogue of satan is covering your land!

"My child, you will not hesitate in revealing the knowledge of truth.

"Teilhard de Chardin is in hell! Your leader Roosevelt is in hell!"

Veronica--Oh!

Our Lady--"Franklin Roosevelt, My child. His spirit is one of darkness. He enters anew upon earth from the abyss.

"My child, I do not expect you to understand at this time all I am having you repeat.

WEB OF EVIL

"For the love of money and worldly living, Our pastors have given themselves to satan. Unless they remove themselves from this web of evil created by the money powers of the world, they, too, shall be judged and cast into the abyss. Many have sold their souls to get to the head.

VILLOT AND BENELLI

"A coalition of evil is being formed in the Eternal City, My child. You will pray for Cardinal Villot and Benelli, Giovanni Benelli.

"You must tell them, My child, by letter that their actions are not hidden to the Eternal Father. He has looked upon them and found them wanting.

"Come out of the darkness now, or you shall be cast into the abyss!

"My child, you must pray much for your great pastor in Rome, the eternal Father, your Vicar, Pope Paul VI. He suffers much at the hands of his enemies. My child, he is but a prisoner in the Eternal City.

"The forces of evil are working to remove him, My child.

CAST OUT MONEY CHANGERS

"My child, you must not have fear at speaking the truth. It is for the salvation of souls and the recovery of your country. America the beautiful must not fall to Communism, My child. America the beautiful shall not be sold into slavery. Cast out the money changers in your government!

"What manner of government is there that condones sin? Abomination upon abomination--giving monies for the murder of children, giving monies for the murder of the elderly!

"Your government, My child, has been infiltrated by men of sin."

Veronica--Oh!

Our Lady--"There is much, My child, that cannot be revealed at this time. You must remain silent.

PORTUGAL, SPAIN NEED PRAYERS

"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.

"The world is fast plunging itself into a bloodbath, My child!

"We ask in the eternal--in the powerful, My child, power of prayer, for you to keep a constant vigilance of prayer, for you do not know what lies ahead of you."

Veronica--Now Our Lady is placing Her hands out in front of Her, like this, and She's motioning--She's placing them out and turning them over to the right. She's just standing there. It's very windy, and Her cape is blowing about Her. And Our Lady is bowing Her head.

Our Lady--"I am truly a Mother of great sorrow. Who will solace My heart and the injured heart of My Son?

"Prayer, penance and sacrifice, I beg of you, as your Mother! Many shall die in the great flame of the Ball of Redemption."

Veronica--Now Our Lady is placing Her arms down across Her chest, like this. I can see Her; She has Her Rosary clasped very tightly in Her right hand, and--oh, now from Her left hand there is a Scapular. It's a very large brown Scapular. And Our Lady is just standing there now.

Our Lady--"My child, you may be seated now, for there is much that I wish to discuss with you.

[Pause]

"My child, you will not judge, for by their fruits will you know them. Satan cannot conceal himself long.

U.S. MUST EXPEL U.N.

"You must now, My child, speak out the truth. Your country must send from its shores the coalition--the United Nations. Your country must purge itself of the many seekers of fortune at the expense of the loss of the souls of thousands, those who seek worldly gain and riches by bringing into your nation corrupters of souls and mind destroyers--pornography and drugs, My child.

WITHDRAW FROM W.C.C.

"I must warn you at this time, as your Mother, that you must remove yourself from this gathering of world churches. My Son has given you His true Church upon your earth. All others have left it, as they could not follow the rule. As protesters, they have cast side the truth.

"You must not compromise My Son's Church by bringing in the measure of humanism and modernism, for you have opened the door to satan.

"Do not be swayed by the fallacy that all will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, for only 'many,' My children, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven--if they follow the rule.

"In the coming Chastisement only a few shall be saved.

INSTRUMENT OF ADVERSARY

"I shall clarify my former statement, My child. You must remove yourself from the World Council of Churches. It has become an instrument of the adversary. There is but one Church, My children--the Church as set forth by My Son under Peter.

"Your city and many cities throughout your country shall feel the plague. It is for the murders of the unborn that your city receives the plague.

"I shall not burden you, My child, with additional messages to the world at this time in reference to the internal destruction of your country. However, you will find this work increasing, My child. Your mission shall now be developing branches in unison with other missions throughout your world. You will unite in a constant vigilance of prayer. All centers shall unite to fight the common enemy of your God.

"My blue armies of the world must gather now for the final battle against satan. It is a battle of the spirits: brother against brother, father against son, mother against daughter--a time such as mankind has never seen nor will see again at its conclusion.

"My child, you will hasten to gather all past messages.

"Many cures and conversions shall be given to strengthen your mission. It will be a great miracle to many.

"Now, My child, you will sit back and examine the message in secret. You will receive two photographs of great importance."

[Pause]

Veronica--There's a tremendous cross. It's a wooden cross, coming now--it's like it's just emerging right out of the sky. Oh, and now right above it--now the cross is lowering down onto the earth, and above it Jesus is standing.

Oh, He's dressed in His burgundy cape, but he has a whole--His head is covered with a crown of thorns. But it's not a crown; it's a headpiece all with thorns. It's like a cap. Oh, my goodness!

Now Jesus is coming over. He's just floating forward. The cross now is like it's gone flat down onto us, the world, and Jesus is going over to the left side.

Jesus--"My child, My Mother has directed you well. In the time remaining you will be given many urgent messages. The work will accelerate as you will unite with other missions throughout the world. It is the time of the separation of the sheep from the goats. None shall escape judgment.

"Man in his arrogance has chosen to cast aside the warning from Heaven. It is a time of trial for all mankind.

"All will be tested in this crucible of great suffering. In the mercy of the Eternal Father all will be tested. In your human knowledge you will not understand the ways of the Father, for they are not akin to those of man. All who are of well spirit will have nothing to fear. It is in the will of the Eternal Father that all will be tested.

"I bless you all, My children. Carry your cross, for it is the only way to enter into the Eternal Kingdom."

Veronica--Now Jesus is coming down. And now He's over on the left side, but He's coming down by the tree. And He's placing His hand out in front of Him, like this: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Now Jesus is floating over. He's not walking; He's gliding, like--floating just on the air over to the right side now past Our Lady's statue. And He's now stopping, with His hand out in front of Him, like this: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Jesus--"I give you graces from Heaven: graces for cures and conversion. These will be necessary in the gathering of souls."

Veronica--Now Jesus is placing His hand out, like this. He's just above the first tree, and He's looking down. He's placing His hand out and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Now He's just floating and looking down and putting both His hands out in front of Him. Jesus is placing His hands out like this, in front of Him. Now He's bringing them down now to His side and He's floating up over, over to the center, above the statue.

Jesus--"My child, the time is here for the mission of the repatriation of souls. All who have been given the knowledge in the light must now light their candles with My Mother and go searching through the darkness. A constant vigilance of prayer must be kept.

"The world, your world, will be cleansed by trial. None shall escape the effects."

Veronica--In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Now Jesus is going backwards. He's floating backwards; He hasn't turned around. But He's going high now, high up into the sky. And now over on the right Michael is standing. The same--he has this white gown on, and he's holding the very large sword in his right hand, and he's placing it with the tip down now, pointing it down.

And now Our Lady is coming over. She's standing near Michael. It's quite windy up there. Our Lady's gown--now Our Lady doesn't have the black covering on that She had, but now She has a white mantle and a white gown, and Her mantle is trimmed in a gold, beautiful gold shining trim all around the outside. Oh, and Our Lady now is holding what appears to be a ball, a globe--I guess it's a globe of the world--in Her right hand. And She's just standing there. The light is very brilliant. It's so bright! It's almost impossible to describe Our Lady's face because of Her gown and the bright light.

Now Jesus is going over onto the left side of us.

Jesus--"Continue now with your prayers of atonement. They are sorely needed."
