On Saturday, December 31, 1994, at 12:30 p.m., New Years Eve day, Veronica received a foreboding message for the world in her home. She was in her workroom when Our Blessed Mother appeared, all bathed in a brilliant iridescent light. It was beyond human description. Our Lady said:
"Veronica, I have come as a bearer of truth with a most urgent discourse to mankind. Man hesitates to accept my discourse. There will soon be the gnashing of teeth and much woe set upon mankind. Please, My child, the world must heed this warning or receive a just Chastisement which will be the worst ever set upon your world! Hasten, harken and listen, for I shall not repeat Myself."
