[Veronica says to a worker nearby: "Are you ready?"]

Veronica--This is very important. Now this is going to be printed. This is directly from Our Lady. I was given this letter just a short time before I started for the vigil grounds. [Now please give me light so I may read what Our Lady told me to write.]

This is an open letter to Pope John Paul II from Our Lady, Mary Immaculate, November 25, 1978.

OPEN LETTER TO POPE JOHN PAUL II

Dear Son, Our Vicar upon earth,

Remember always your heritage, even unto martyrdom, for of such trial are many led to sainthood. Accept as your strength Hyacinth and follow his lead, or the great Chastisement shall be set upon mankind. Will you not help Me again, My son? Convert Russia. Do not hasten to promote division in My Son's Church. Save the world from the great flames of the Ball of Redemption that fast approaches your world and mankind.

Our Lady asked also that this be read and to be written in the periodical Roses:

The date of August the 17, St. Hyacinth, Confessor.

Hyacinth, the glorious Apostle of Poland and Russia, was born of noble parents in Poland about the year 1185. In 1218, being already Canon of Cracow, he accompanied his uncle, the Bishop of that place, to Rome. There he met St. Dominic whom Our Lady had recently given Her Rosary, and received the habit of the Friar Preachers from the Patriarch himself, St. Dominic, of whom he became a living copy. So wonderful was St. Hyacinth's progress in virtue that within a year Dominic sent him to preach and plant the order in Poland, where he founded two houses.

His apostolic journeys extended over numerous regions: Austria, Bohemia, Livonia, the shores of the Black Sea, Tartary and Northern China on the east, and Sweden and Norway to the west, were evangelized by him. And he is said to have visited Scotland. Everywhere multitudes were converted. Churches and convents were built. 120,000 pagans and infidels were baptized by his hands. He worked numerous miracles and at Cracow raised a dead youth to life.

He had inherited from St. Dominic a most filial confidence in the Mother of God. To Her he ascribed his success, and to Her aid he looked for his salvation.

When St. Hyacinth was in Kiev (that's Russia), the Tartars sacked the town, but it was only as he finished Mass that the saint heard of the danger. Without waiting to unvest, he took the ciborium in his hands and was leaving the church. As he passed by a statue of Mary a voice said: Hyacinth, My son, why dost thou leave Me behind? Take Me with thee, and leave Me not to Mine enemies. The statue was of heavy alabaster, but when Hyacinth took it in his arms it was light as a reed. With the Blessed Sacrament and the image of Mary he came to the river Dnieper and walked dryshod over the surface of the waters.

On the eve of the Assumption Hyacinth was warned of his coming death. In spite of a wasting fever he celebrated Mass on the Feast and communicated as a dying man. He was anointed at the foot of the altar and died the same day A.D. 1257.

We must always reflect on this thought that Saint Hyacinth teaches us: to employ every effort in the service of God and to rely for success not on our own industry but on the prayer of His Immaculate Mother.

ST. DOMINIC

Our Lady requested that you also make known to the world the life of St. Dominic, whose feast day is August the 4.

St. Dominic was born in Spain in 1170. As a student he sold his books to feed the poor in a famine and offered himself in ransom for a slave. At the age of 25 he became superior of the Canons Regular of Osma, and accompanied his bishop to France. There his heart was well nigh broken by the ravages of the Albigensian heresy, and his life was henceforth devoted to the conversion of heretics and the defense of the Faith.

For this end he established his three-fold religious order. The convent for nuns was founded first to rescue young girls from heresy and crime. Then a company of apostolic men gathered around him and became the Order of Friar Preachers. Lastly came the Tertiaries: persons of both sexes, men and women living in the world. God blessed the new order and France, Italy, Spain, and England welcomed the preaching friars. Our Lady took them under Her special protection and whispered to St. Dominic as he preached.

It was in 1208 while St. Dominic knelt in the little chapel of Notre Dame de la Prouille, and implored the great Mother of God to save the Church, that Our Lady appeared to him and gave him the Rosary and bade him go forth and preach. Beads in hand he revived the courage of the Catholic troops, led them to victory against overwhelming numbers and finally crushed the heresy.

His nights were spent in prayer, and though pure as a virgin, thrice before morning broke he scourged himself to blood. His words rescued countless souls and three times raised the dead to life. At length, on August 6, 1221, at the age of 51, he gave up his soul to God.

We must all reflect on this truth. God has never, said St. Dominic, refused me what I have asked. And He has left us the Rosary that we may learn with Mary's help to pray easily and simply in the same and with the same holy trust.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

[Pause]

[In the name of the] Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

All about the trees, if you look carefully, you may be able to see, with God's grace, the blue lights that are flickering all about the trees and becoming more brilliant as the light seems to fan out from these twinkling, star-like blue lights about the trees into the center of the sky directly over Our Lady's statue.

Our Lady is coming forward through the center of light. She's dressed in the most magnificent white gown. She has on very dainty slippers. They are closed slippers this evening, almost like a ballet slipper. And on each slipper there is a tiny small rosebud.

Our Lady looks very young--I would say about thirteen. She looks very childlike. She has Her hands together in prayer, like this, with a beautiful Rosary dangling from Her fingers down across the front of Her gown.

Our Lady has on a mantle, pure white with a gold trim around the edge of the mantle. Upon Her head She is wearing the Fatima crown. I've named it the Fatima crown because it's outstanding among all of Our Lady's crowns that She has appeared in. It has a very round circular center. It sets on a heavy base forward onto Her forehead covering Her mantle completely. And it has on top of it a beautiful golden cross.

Our Lady's crown is set with all jewels. They're countless; I could not name them all. Not being familiar with the names given to the stones, I can only enumerate them by their color. There are greens, and a pale purple color, and there are very startling white, like crystal-white cut; those I know would be diamonds. There are red, most likely rubies. The red stones almost look blood-red, like fire. Oh, it's a magnificent crown. The whole bottom is covered with jewels, and up through the centerpieces that form like a global round crown holding the cross, the jewels also run up in an upward pattern toward the cross. The cross is a deep gold and very brilliant. It has no decoration upon it, but the brilliancy of the gold is most magnificent to see.

Our Lady is looking about Her. And now She is putting the Rosary into Her left hand, and with Her first finger of Her right hand She is touching Her lips, which means to listen carefully and repeat.

Our Lady--"My child and My children, My heart as a Mother is greatly torn also at the death and destruction visited upon many in your world. My children, how much I have longed in the past years of My visitations upon earth to save you from these disasters. You must understand that all that I have told you in the past has come to be. You must read back the written Message from Heaven and you will understand all.

DATE FOR CHASTISEMENT

"My child, the picture Jacinta must be read now by all of earth's children. You will give them this direction, My child. If it is in the will of the Eternal Father that they be graced to receive the truth, they will observe carefully and examine the photograph miraculous Jacinta 1972. You will read the wording 'Jacinta' and search for lines and figures and numbers. Within the miraculous picture is given the date by God the Father for the chastisement of mankind. All will be conditional to the response of mankind.

"You must well remember the words of My Son to the world in relation to this miraculous picture: 'Consider this picture as a puzzle for the human race to figure out. If not solved in due time, I, Jesus, will set the answer upon the world Myself!' Within this picture, My children, is the date, the month, the year, the hour of the Chastisement as planned by God the Father.

"I have asked that My words be given to your Vicar, the Holy Father in Rome, who must guide My Son's Church in these crucial days. Compromise must be avoided, even unto martyrdom.

"I have promised long ago, My children, peace to mankind since Fatima. I cried out to you at La Salette, and you did not listen. What will you do now, My children? Will you turn away now and suffer a terrible chastisement? Can you not well understand what is happening now in your country and many countries upon earth?

"I will now explain to you in simple language that you may understand the plan for Lucifer to take over your country and all of the nations upon earth. He uses, Lucifer, the body of any man, woman, or child for the promotion of his will.

ILLUMINATI

"There is a group in the United States and the world, a group that started many years ago, calling itself the Illuminati, coming from the word 'light bearer.' Naturally, My children, this light that they bear stands for Lucifer, and as such they have gone through the world secretly known as Luciferians. They have brought into your country, the United States, and your neighbor Canada, a group of witchcraft practices. Well have they laid their plan to destroy your children with drugs, using your school systems, your medias of communication: your newspapers, your televisions, your radios. Every means of communication has been infiltrated by the members and sub-members of the Illuminati, a conglomeration of individuals and powers and principalities throughout the world, and banking systems. As you well know, My children, money has always been the root of all evil, and many have sold their souls to get to the head.

CHILDREN BRAINWASHED BY LUCIFER

"Parents, I ask you now to remove from your home all agents or significations relating to the agents and forces of hell--Lucifer and his demons now loosed upon earth. Because you are not accepting the graces given to you from Heaven, parents, you are not aware that your children are being brainwashed by Lucifer. He sends into your homes music. You accept these to make your children happy, but there is a power called witchcraft. Do not laugh as I tell you this. It is here, it is now, and it is powerful, even unto the death of a human being. It is a group that is using religion as a front, My children. There is only one religion that can save your country and all of the countries of the world: the religion of the cross and My Son's sacrifice upon that cross.

"O My children, if I could only enumerate more closely, concisely to you the takeover of your country and many nations, you would understand how foolish it was to seek materialism and money and power, for you did not understand that many of you were being bought by Lucifer.

ITALIAN HORN - LUCIFER'S HORN

"Even in My Son's churches I have watched My children approaching the Sacred Species, My Son's Body and Blood--His divinity being desecrated by young women, young men, and even middle-aged, wearing satan's emblems! How foolish you are not to recognize the cross and the sacramentals given by the institutionalized churches--the Roman Catholic Church of My Son--even though sadly, I have often cried at the many denominations that came from the first Church of My Son. However, the cross is your salvation, and many of My children are wearing Lucifer's symbols. You wear a horn about your neck, and you say it is the Italian horn of plenty. It is not! It is the horn of Lucifer!

"Investigate, parents, what your children are wearing. Upon the temples of satan--and there are hundreds of them now, My children, in your country and in other nations--secretly they work to destroy your country, to destroy your children. Openly they work under the names of socialism and communism, but secretly their members labor for Lucifer, for the destruction of souls, under the pain of death. Lucifer is the father of all liars. He was a murderer from the beginning and he brings death, only death to those who foolishly follow him.

"Many other emblems of satan are being sold even in these stores that are called Catholic, My children. Are you laughing at the existence of witchcraft? My children, how foolish you are! Lucifer is upon earth. The battle now rages between good and evil. You are either with God or you are against Him. When you are on the middle road, you will either fall to satan fast, or your brothers and sisters must rescue you in their charity and their abundance of graces.

UGLY HAND OF COMMUNISM

"You will alert, as followers of My Son, Jesus, those in His Church who have fallen asleep, the bishops and the cardinals. And sad to say, My children, the ugly hand of communism has reached in to desecrate the Body of My Son in His own Church. You must remember, as man goes about the world crying 'peace, love, and brotherhood,' he sets up governments liberalizing the masses, called socialism. And it does not operate under the true cross of My Son, Jesus, but is used as a front to entice like a spider with his web those unsuspecting souls who are looking for peace--peace of heart, peace of spirit, which they cannot find in their present world because the leaders have fallen asleep.

CHARISMATICS

"My children have lost their way. Like sheep they wander to and fro looking for My Son. They do not have the Spirit. They cry out in groups called Charismatics, and that, too, has been promoted with an evil reasoning. My children, understand what is happening now. It is the work of Lucifer using human agents to remove all institutionalized churches from your world and unite all of mankind in the name of peace and brotherhood under one roof--and it will be a one-world religion and a one-world government. However, My Son has other plans to thwart this plan. The octopus shall not be successful. It will come to the point, My children, when you will think that it would be better to die, for such evil shall be set upon the world by the Illuminati and their agents that the living shall truly envy the dead!

RECORD COMPANIES CONTROLLED BY WICCA

"Listen well, My children, and understand that I ask you to remove all diabolical musical recordings from your homes. Your children are bringing demons into your homes because, at the time that these records were produced, called 'rock, hard rock'--they were produced in the temple of satan, consecrated to satan. You do not understand, My children, but many of your companies, your record companies, are under the control of Wicca, the international organization of witches and warlocks. Do not laugh! It is true! Lucifer has given them power over mankind. However, the power is allowed by God the Father in Heaven to test all of mankind.

RIVERS OF BLOOD

"And My children, listen to Me well as I warn all parents that you will shout soon, 'I beware of my children, for they seek to kill me.' Lucifer plans to turn father against son, mother against daughter, and shall direct them to kill within the home! You have not seen bloodshed: a little bit here and a little bit there, but rivers of blood shall flow in your streets as children will turn against their parents.

"You have been given, My children, these warnings in preparation for the plan of the Luciferians to take over fully your country and the world. You must act upon this. I have given your armor to you. You have prayer, you have My Son. Do not accept false messiahs going throughout the world. Do not reject the institutionalized Church of My Son, just because there are some who have lost the way, just because some have entered into My Son's Church to bring about discredit and destroy from within. Do not judge My Son's Church by the man and the men who run it, but remember My Son is always with you.

"Prepare, My children of light, for a great time of persecution. It will come about that all who follow My Son shall be labeled as 'crazy,' 'fanatical,' 'having hallucinations,' and all other manners to commit them and take them from society, a society that is ruled by Lucifer.

SATANISTS IN TIGHT CONTROL

"Satanists gather force in your country. You will find these satanists who belong to the church of satan in a tight control. They are peoples coming from the highest walks of life and the lowest, so many have they gathered within your country, the United States of America.

"My children, do not succumb to those blandishments of others who try to take you from the truth by saying that I give you words of fear and destruction. I give you no words of fear, but words of truth and salvation!

"As I told you in the past, My children, your world has been given now to Lucifer. He knows that his time is growing short. He goes about now as a ravaging wolf seeking to gather all to take with him to the abyss. No one shall go into hell unless of his and her own free will.

"My children, do not allow the enemies to give you a vision of utopia without suffering. My children, do not allow the enemies to take from you the knowledge of the existence of Heaven, hell, and purgatory. Your children are the major, now, the major martyrs--and I say martyrs. Be it not for the laxity of the parents, the schools, and many in My Son's Church, many of you parents would not be shedding this evening tears of remorse and grief at the loss of your children, knowing not whether they have been saved or lost forever. I say unto you, from the merciful heart of your Mother: Cry not, mother. The Eternal Father is most pitiful upon you. He has opened His heart to many of your children, not judging them by false leaders."

Veronica--Our Lady now is placing Her hand across Her eyes. She is weeping very, very softly.

CHRISTIANS UNITE

Our Lady--"My children, understand well: you must all review the lives of your saints given in the Christian churches throughout the world. I ask My world's children, all Christians, to unite against the common enemy of your God: Lucifer!

"Do you not understand? Lucifer seeks to destroy Christianity. He seeks to destroy this by taking the word of God from among you, by substituting a way of life that is pure insanity. For sin is insanity! Will you allow this to happen to your children? Can you not understand that as your Mother I shall shout to you to My last breath: turn back, for you are falling into the abyss!

"You will all keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your world. I have given you the way: prayer, atonement, and sacrifice. Pray your Rosary daily. Gather your children about you, your families, and pray. Do not be affrighted by the coming Warning. It will be of short duration. However, We hope that with this Warning many shall be turned back from their road that leads to perdition and death."

Veronica--Our Lady now is taking the crucifix from Her Rosary, the beautiful golden 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 come to you always, My children, as your Mother, as a Mediatrix between God and man. I bless you for the Father, and of the Son, and in the Holy Ghost. Continue now, My children, with your prayers of atonement."

[Veronica prays an Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be, and St. Michael prayer.]

We'll take pictures, Our Lady said.

[Pause]

MASONRY, WITCHCRAFT

Veronica--Just as Our Lady had finished Her message, and we were discussing some miraculous photographs here, written by the hand of God in the sky now--it's a cloudless night; the sky is beautifully dark but clear with the stars shining through. There isn't a cloud in the sky, yet over towards the left of Our Lady's statue, as we were discussing witchcraft and this photograph that Bernie Byers had received with the number 13 on it. And there is a rabbit--well, I really hesitate to put on tape what that rabbit stands for: an involvement of some clergy in with the witches' covens, witchcraft. "13" usually represents the high people who are high in this coven.

Now you must understand that in freemasonry, there is a degree of freemasonry that means witchcraft. The person must become a Luciferian. In trying to remember--it's either the thirteenth degree or the thirty-third degree. In the thirty-third degree freemasonry--it's a very, very secret cult. The individual in the thirty-third degree to make himself, prove himself worthy to be a true Luciferian, he must murder another person. And I would say, if the individual is "squirmish," he is still as guilty if he hires another to murder a human being. This is so evil.

You must understand that Lucifer has always been called the "murderer from the beginning." It is written in the Bible, and it is true. He was always a murderer. Therefore, to follow Lucifer, these Luciferians insist, to become a 33rd degree [Luciferian] mason, you must follow through in this secret rite and ritual of witchcraft. And it is witchcraft.

And not only that: I have--not at my home, so any who think they should come to my home and try to obtain this book--I have hidden it away. I have absolute proof that these groups have entered into some very influential parts of the Roman Catholic Church and the [World] Council of Churches. And they all come as angels of light hidden with their real plan to try to destroy the churches, the Christian churches. Therefore, Our Lady asked that all Christians unite to prevent Lucifer from destroying Christianity.

[Veronica says to a worker nearby: "Did I say how it was--I told how it was in the sky?"]

I hope, in my anxiety to explain what happened tonight--Jesus performed an outright miracle. There is no way that this figure of the cloven hoof could have appeared in the sky like it did tonight.

As I said, the sky is very clear this evening with stars, not a cloud in the sky. Yet to the left of Our Lady's statue--it startled us all. There in white--how can I explain it? You would say a misty white, but stark white hand was the cloven hoof representing witchcraft! Now, if that won't tell the world, I only pray that somebody was here with a movie camera and took that as proof for the world.

[words not clear] . . . up there. There it was.

[Pause]

. . . trees and fanning inwardly high over Our Lady's statue. Coming through the sky quite fast, Jesus is coming forward. He's not walking, He's floating. His feet are bare but He has on a long robe. His robe is not white but is an off-color like a linen-looking type of material. He has a belting that--has it cinched at the waist with a piece of--looks like, perhaps brown skin-like cord. And He has a cape about His shoulders. It's flung very loosely this evening, and I can't see the headpiece. It's a little windy, and Jesus' hair is blowing about His shoulders. He's looking to the right and left. And now He's extending His hand 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 He's looking over His right shoulder, and Michael and many clergy--I can tell they're clergy by their habits--are coming forward. I can see among them three, four now. They must be popes because they are wearing the beehive, papal tiaras, and they're all in white. Every one of them are in white. Now I notice now the three on the left--I can see their slippers. They're white this evening. They're all dressed in beautiful glowing white, and they have on gloves. They're all wearing mittens, gloves.

Now Jesus is signaling. He's touching His lips with His first finger.

Jesus--"My child and My children, I do not intend to enlarge upon My Mother's counsel to you. Suffice it for Me to say that My Mother has given you an overall description of the existing conditions upon your earth.

"There are forces, supernatural forces loosed now among you, and you must recognize the battle that lies ahead. You are no longer dealing or fighting with a seen--let Us say, an enemy that you can see, but you are fighting now the supernatural world, the world of demons known by man as the study of demonology. However, since it is evident that man has tried to cast aside the knowledge of the supernatural and the existence of the nether world--I will say, My children, it gives Lucifer great advantage, for he can go forward then in secret. He has great power, a power that the Eternal Father chose to allow him for a set time.

THE END OF OUR ERA

"You are in the end days. It will not be the end of the earth or the world, but it will be the end of your era, the end of time as you know it. There will be a great struggle ahead. And if man does not turn from his present course, there can only be great numbers of death and destruction set upon the world.

TEN MAJOR COMMANDMENTS

"You must understand that the merciful heart of the Father is always extended to you. You must pray more. You must read and act upon the Commandments of your God. They can neither be added to, nor modified, nor taken away. The Ten major Commandments must be followed. And I can see, My children, that you break many now, and ask for the hand of a wrathful God upon you. Thou shalt not kill! Thou shalt not steal! Thou shalt not worship false gods! Thou shalt not commit adultery! Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife! Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods!

"My children, on and on I could go on, enumerating the major sins of mankind. However, since you understand that sin is insanity, to those in the light it will appear as though the world has become a snakepit. And I say 'snake,' for it well covers the work of Lucifer.

"Protect your children and your homes. Make a fortress of safety for your children. A great measure of responsibility will be given now to all parents. Prepare your home now, and you will not have to suffer the anguish of heart that many shall have in the future.

TEST FOR MANKIND

"There is hope, there is peace ahead in the future, but now man will be tested. And if he does not respond, it will be necessary for the Eternal Father to cleanse you with a baptism of fire. As it was in the beginning, and as through countless earth-years, the Eternal Father has had to place a heavy hand upon mankind. I assure you, My children, you have not learned from your past: you repeat your mistakes over and over, and you ask again the heavy hand of chastisement upon you.

"Pray a constant vigilance of prayer. Be in the world but not of the world, for your world has become now the kingdom of satan. He will hide himself using human beings, places, things all about you, a world that you cannot see with your human eyes. But they are as existing as you are human. They are supernatural.

"Atonement, prayer, and sacrifice. My Mother has directed you well through countless earth-years. Do not cast aside Her counsel, but listen and act upon it, My children, for the time is growing short."

Veronica--Now Jesus is extending His hand 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.

Our Lady is coming down now from the right side of the sky. I didn't see Her standing over, high by the trees. Now She's following, going across the sky and joining Jesus. She's going over to his right side. And over on the left side, I can see Michael spreading his wings now. He's covering, like a protective shield, the whole sky over Our Lady's statue. He surrounds the whole grounds here with his being. There is no human way to explain the immense size of Michael. He is truly a magnificent warrior of Heaven.

And also I can see now in the background, behind Our Lady and Jesus, many angels. I can see--not their faces. It's hard to describe the tremendous light. But the figures, they're clothed in white gowns. And Our Lady is touching Her lips and pointing up to many of them and saying:

Our Lady--"They are martyrs, My child, who have washed their robes clean in the Blood of the Lamb."

Veronica--Now Jesus is touching His lips with His first finger.

Jesus--"Continue now, My child and My children, with your prayers of atonement."

Veronica--Now Jesus is turning over to the left side. He's gone across the sky, over to our right side, His left side, and He's now bending over 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 bringing His cape about Him, and He's going, floating across--They don't walk; They seem to be weightless, though just as solid as you and I, Our Lady and Jesus. And He's going across the sky now, just floating, and He's nodding to Our Lady. And They are both backing up high into the sky. They're standing there and looking about Them. Our Lady has a very--I don't know how to describe Her smile. She looks very sad, but She's trying to smile. And She's nodding, yes.

Our Lady--"Continue, My child, with your prayers of atonement."

[Veronica says the Our Father and concludes with the sign of the cross.]
