Veronica--The sky was very dark. There are blue lights now coming through the darkness. Now directly over Our Lady's statue there is a round circlet of blue light. The sky is opening up, and in the center of this cascading light Our Lady is coming forward. It's becoming much brighter now; the whole sky is lighting up.

Our Lady is dressed in a white gown, a beautiful brilliant white gown with a blue sash about Her waist. And over Her shoulders and covering Her head is a deep blue mantle. It's a dark blue--not the usual pale blue, but a very deep dark blue, almost a purple.

Our Lady is carrying in Her right hand a very large brown Scapular, and in Her left hand She has Her Rosary. Our Lady is now fastening Her Rosary to Her blue belt, the sash, looping it over, and I notice it's beautifully looped. Our Lady has it dangling now from Her right side.

Our Lady--"My child, you must strive to be as perfect as the Eternal Father created you to be. This perfection is for strengthening your eternal soul. The perfection that you seek, My children, is in the spiritual realm.

"Man must now prepare for this final battle with satan. I do not have to repeat My warnings of the past to mankind. Suffice it, My children, to say that you must now pray a constant vigilance of prayer.

BISHOPS IN PHILADELPHIA

"There will be a gathering of Our bishops within the celebrating city of Philadelphia. Be it known to Our bishops that they must pray more, or it will become a carnival of errors. Satan has a plan of destruction in My Son's Church, His House. He knows, satan knows that his time is growing short.

"I must warn you, O you who wear the Red Hat and the Purple Hat, that you have been misled. Many are on the road to perdition. And those who have been given great grace, they must exercise this grace by sharing it with others for the recovery of souls.

"I give fair warning to all that your pursuit of humanism and modernism shall send many from My Church upon your earth. My Son has had His heart torn anew by the many who have cast aside His teaching, who seek to destroy the foundation of His Church, My Son. There are many Judases in His House. It truly rains teardrops from Heaven.

"My children, there are many candles in your world, a world that has fast gone into spiritual darkness and corruption. Immorality has stricken the children. Immorality is bringing your country, your nation, America the beautiful, the great, onto a road to its own destruction. You will celebrate, My children, your past, your present, but what have you given for your future? A nation that has gathered the material and lost the spiritual!

"O My children, I have come to you as a Mediatrix from your God. I bring to you a warning from Heaven. There shall be sent upon you a great Warning, and if this Warning is not heeded, you shall receive the Ball of Redemption.

"All prophecy, My children, all warnings have been conditional, conditional to man's response. My children, We now count only in the few those who will be saved.

"Your scientists, My children, are running to and fro, searching for the answer to their coming destruction. Scientists and men of learning ever searching, but never coming to the truth.

"Wars are a punishment for man's sin.

"My children, My heart is torn. I stand with you observing your road, the path you are traveling. Many lives shall be lost in the great War.

"The forces of evil are gathering about the city of Jerusalem. I walked there, My children. My home will be destroyed. There shall be much blood shed upon My home.

"My children, pray a constant vigilance of prayer. Do not set yourselves to judge your brothers and sisters, but do not run about to and fro crying peace, love, and brotherhood, when it is but a disguise for total destruction; when it is but a disguise of elimination of My Son's teaching from your lives.

ARMS OF THE OCTOPUS

"There is a great evil force now enshrouding your world. It is like an octopus reaching out in every direction to ensnare the world. It is a force of evil set up by satan. There are many arms of the octopus controlled by the monies of the world. For the love of money and riches, many will sell their souls to get to the head.

"O My children, what do you gain if you gather all of the riches of the world and destroy your soul? When you come over the veil--and you will come over the veil--what will you bring with you? Nothing of the material. You must gather your riches in Heaven now. They are supernatural, the graces, the merits that will allow you to enter into the Kingdom of your God. None shall enter this Kingdom except through My Son. None shall see the Eternal Father if they do not recognize My Son.

"Do not expect, My children, in your human nature to be able to understand the mysteries of Heaven that are sacred, but believe and you shall be given the way.

"Parents, your example is poor. You must now guard the souls of your children. Do not make exception for your way of life, for your way of life has become sinful. Your children are becoming the innocent victims of their elders.

"Parents, protect the souls of your children. Teach them modesty and piety. Keep them pure of spirit, for they will soon reach the darkness. Once your children leave the safety of your home, they must have armor about them--sacramentals and graces based on faith, My children. This will take them through the darkness, the maze of destruction that satan has set all about them.

"My children, I will not tire, I do not tire as I guide you in these latter days. Many have rejected My message, many close their eyes in blindness. But pray that this self-instilled blindness does not enter upon their spirit.

AN ENIGMA TO MANY

"My child, do not be concerned of the opinion of mankind. You will always be an enigma to many. You will continue as the Eternal Father directs you. All will appear before your very eyes. In your human nature, My child, We do not expect miracles of yourself. We accept your human nature with all of its failings. So, My child, remember sainthood is developed upon earth but it is gained in Heaven.

"You will continue, My child, to send My message out with great haste. Many arms shall be sent to help you. You will not be given more of a burden than you can carry. Do not be too anxious to know of the future, My child. I must be discreet in guiding you. It is for your protection, My child.

"You will remain in solitude, My child. You do not, at this time, have time to socialize. You must now give all of your efforts and strength to sending out My message."

Veronica--Now Our Lady is taking Her Rosary from about Her waist, and She's holding the beautiful crucifix. It's all golden; it's a beautiful, bright golden color. And Our Lady is extending it out now in front of Her, like this, and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Our Lady now is going over to the left side, our right side, and She's rising high above the banners and the trees. Our Lady now is bending over and She's extending Her crucifix out, like this, and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Now just beyond the second tree there is a brilliant golden light now coming from deep into the sky, out of the sky. And Michael is coming forward now. He's dressed in a long white gown. His hair is so brilliant; it's catching the light now. And Michael is coming forward. He's carrying in his right hand a scale, a balance, and in his left hand he has a long spear. The spear is pointed up now, and Michael, though, is swinging it in an arc and pointing it downward.

Michael is coming up just behind Our Lady. And Our Lady now is moving. She's gliding over, directly over Her statue, and She's now bending forward 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, She's gliding, and Michael is directly behind Her, over to our left side. She's standing now just about a few feet from the limb of the tree on our left, and She's now pointing with Her hand over, directly over and down beyond the trees. Now She's lifting Her crucifix and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Our Lady--"I bless you all, My children, as the Eternal Father in My Son blesses you and sends among you the Paraclete."

Veronica--Now Our Lady is going--She is backing up, gliding backwards, high above the tree on the left, and standing there. It's very windy because Her gown is blowing, and Our Lady's cape is also blowing forward. Our Lady now is smiling and motioning.

Now Michael is taking his place directly above Our Lady's statue. He's left Our Lady's side and he's standing just above Her statue, high in the sky, and he's pointing over now to his left with the spear, and there are letters appearing in the sky--dark, black letters edged in white: D-I-S-C-O-R-D: "DISCORD," I-N: "IN," R-O-M-E. "DISCORD IN ROME."

Now high in the sky the letters are disappearing, but there are figures forming now of three rabbits, three figures of rabbits. They refer to, they're symbolic of figures, human figures. The rabbit would be a priest, a high priest. One of the rabbits is lighting up, a very bright white--the high rabbit of Rome, the Pope. And next to him are two red rabbits. They're ominous-looking rabbits, but all in red. Now it's beginning to grow dark, and it's just like the figures are evaporating, completely disappearing.

Now Michael is raising his sword, and it's half-way suspended in the air, and there are drippings of blood coming from the sword. Now Michael is pointing with the sword, and there's a red horse now galloping across the sky. My goodness! It's a very large red horse, and it's going now from the left side to the right side and galloping off to the left again. Now it's disappearing behind the tree there. Oh, my!

Our Lady is now moving Her head, saying yes. Our Lady appears very sad. Now She's pointing upward to the sky, and She's saying:

Our Lady--"Communism is the scourge of mankind. Blood and revolution."

Veronica--Oh, my!

Our Lady--"Be seated, My child, now. My Son has much to discuss with you.

NO EARLY PEACE

"Do not be discouraged, My child. My Son shall come with the sword. The world will go through great trial, but there will be peace. I cannot promise you an early peace as I did in Fatima, for all was conditional, and man did not respond, My child."

Veronica--Our Lady now is standing with Her hands out in front of Her, very pleadingly, and She has a very sad look.

Our Lady--"My child, I cannot bring words of joy and gladness when I see the path that mankind has taken, the path to his own destruction. I promise to be with you all until the end of your time. Then we shall all join with My Son in victory.

"Do not be discouraged, My child, My children. There are many blue armies throughout your world. There are many voice-boxes. By their fruits will they be known. Do not be overly concerned, My child, of your mission, but go forward with perseverance. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer. Extend in charity your graces to your brothers.

"It is sad, My child. I know your grief, for you have much expectation. But remember, My child, remember My Son upon your earth, for as they rejected Him, so will many reject you.

"Every voice-box upon earth, My child, shall go through the passion of My Son. There will be many victim souls upon earth, and there will be many great saints who will come out of this battle."

Veronica--Our Lady now is placing Her hand in front of Her, and from Her fingers are these great brilliant lines of light. Oh, they are so brilliant! Now Our Lady is also placing Her left hand out, like this, and these lights--long, oh, penetrating streams, streaks of light--they're very powerful lights. There's no way I can explain or put them into words.

Our Lady--"Graces, My child, graces in abundance; graces for the asking."

Veronica--Now Our Lady is placing Her hands now in front of Her, like this, and joining Her fingers together in prayer. Our Lady now is going backward high up into the sky. She's floated back, and Michael now is appearing at Her right side.

Our Lady--"Continue now, My child, with your prayers. They are sorely needed for your world."

[Pause]

Veronica--The sky is becoming a very deep red. It's very strange, because above the red, beautiful deep red, I see a large body of water. And beyond the water it's like looking into another land, or onto another land. I'm standing now on this side of the shore. Now over on the other side, Jesus is walking across the water.

Jesus--"My child, what you are seeing will remain with you. There is much that shall be revealed through you to mankind until you fulfill your mission upon earth. I open for your pleasure, your understanding, a window, My child. Observe and repeat what you see."

Veronica--I see beautiful waters, and I see land. And I feel that I am now standing in another land. I feel a great feeling of joy and peace. And I am not alone, for over on the shore I see many people. I recognize some of these people.

Now Jesus is coming over. He's standing on my right side, and He's pointing.

CROSSING THE VEIL

Jesus--"My child, the peoples of earth have a great fear of the unknown. But make it known to them that coming across the veil is not to be feared. There is no death, My children. I assure you, there is no death. It is a temporary state of transition. When you come over the veil, you must proceed through a mist, and then a judgment. After this judgment, if you come through the light, you will be able to join those who came here before you.

"My child, My children, know that there is everlasting light and joy. Your pilgrimage upon earth is just a temporary abode. Will you destroy now your chance to be with Us in the Kingdom, the Kingdom of light, light and supreme happiness?

"Many are called, but few can be chosen. It is in the knowledge of the Eternal Father, and it is not for mankind to understand the judgment of the Eternal Father. There is a banishment, a place that is known to you as hades or hell, and there is a place of purging. In the knowledge of the sacred and the mysteries of your Faith, you cannot, in your human nature, understand the supernatural to its fullest. If I revealed to you, My child and My children, all at this time, then the mysteries of Heaven could no longer be sacred.

"I give you this insight to strengthen you in the days ahead, to strengthen you with the knowledge that your pilgrimage upon earth is but of a short duration, and you must not give in and devote your time to searching for power, for riches, for all of the world's treasures that you must leave behind when you come over the veil.

NOT BY ACCIDENT

"Pray, My children, a constant vigilance of prayer. Send My Mother's message throughout the world. For you who have gathered with Her to pray and do penance, much more is expected of you. All who have been gathered to the bosom of My Mother, and all who have come beneath Her mantle have not arrived there by accident, but by a special calling. This calling was not always upon your own, but because of graces extended to you through the prayers of another.

"You have in your armies to bring you across the veil not only your relations, friends, and well-wishers upon earth, but you have the armies of Heaven now joining with you in this final battle.

"Go forward, My children, with the banner of Faithful and True. Protect our Vicar, Pope Paul VI. Spread the message fast. Send it to all corners of your earth. Shout it from the rooftops and do not slacken your pace, for you must go forward now in the time the Eternal Father has allotted to mankind.

"I bless you all, My children, and send among you the Paraclete. You will keep a constant vigilance of prayer. And pray for your bishops, who now will enter upon a great test. Satan will sit among them in your city of Philadelphia. Therefore, you will all gather to them with your prayers and acts of penance, for you must balance the scale for them and not bring additional suffering to the hearts of My Mother and the saints in Heaven who cry out for a just punishment upon a deceitful and destructive mankind."

Veronica--Jesus is now placing His hand out in front of Him, like this, and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Now Jesus is gathering His robe about Him. The robe is burgundy. It's a beautiful deep red; it's more like a wine color. And now Jesus' gown is blowing. He has nothing upon His feet; His feet are awfully bare.

And now He's going forward. He's just gliding. He's not moving His feet, but He's like being carried on the wind over to our left side, just directly above the first tree. And He's leaning down now, forward, and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Now coming out from behind Jesus in the sky is Michael. And Our Lady now is coming forward. She was standing on our left side, behind the tall tree. Now She's moving over, too. She's being carried, gliding like on the wind, and now She's reached Jesus' right side. They're all coming across the sky now and standing directly over Our Lady's statue. Our Lady is smiling. And Jesus is placing His hand out in front of Him, like this, with His fingers extended: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

And Jesus now is placing His right hand out, like this, over to His left side, His right side, with His fingers extended far out, like this, and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Jesus--"I bless you all, My children, and extend to you graces, graces in abundance, graces for cure of body and cure of spirit."

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