                     OUR
                    LADY'S COUNSEL below seems to point to the futility of this
                    U.S. war with Iraq. In the end, this may accomplish nothing
                    but heavy losses for U.S. soldiers, grief for their mothers,
                    and the safety and security of our nation threatened even
                    more. 
                         Our Lady, who predicted the 9/11
                    attack years before it happened, has already solemnly warned
                    that more terrorism will strike America: “There will be
                    blood flowing in the streets of the United States” (Sept.
                    27, 1986; see also Attack
                    on America, HST, No. 12). 
                         Nonetheless, the military battle is
                    raging now and so with heavy hearts and with our nation “embroiled
                    in another war,” we beg Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help
                    of Mothers–a title of special distinction and power for
                    these latter days–to intervene and avert a potential
                    bloodbath in Baghdad and beyond. 
                    Vigils,
                    Holy Hours 
                    offered for peace 
                        
                    Prayer can move mountains, so we are offering indefinitely
                    our regularly-scheduled Rosary Vigils and Sunday Holy Hours
                    for peace in the world. We are hopeful that this will help
                    bring about a speedy conclusion to this terrible conflict.
                    If only the millions of antiwar protesters were praying the
                    Rosary, “the instrument of peace”
                    (Our Lady, Feb. 10, 1973). 
                         We pray that the casualties will be
                    light and that Our Lady will give special protection for
                    U.S. and allied armed forces and the innocents of Iraq,
                    especially the women and children.

      War
      to the finish 
      “There is a terrible
      punishment scheduled for the earth. If you, My child and My children, all
      who hear My words, will go forward as soldiers of peace this time, because–I
      say peace, because your country will soon be embroiled in another war. . .
      . 
        
      “The next war will embroil many nations. It will be a war to the finish.
      Man has gained much knowledge, not to prevent destruction, but to maintain
      it for their own gluttony, their own loss of face, and for the
      belittlement of his fellow man.” 
      Our Lady, June 18, 1994 
        
      Useless
      calling 
      “My children, you must understand: your country, the United States, will
      become involved and be asked to send more young to be slaughtered in
      foreign lands. You must not follow that calling. It will be useless.” 
      Our Lady, October 6, 1978 
       
      A
      temptation 
      “The enemy is closing in fast upon you. You are being tempted now to
      bring your sons to the foreign shores of foreign nations to fight and lose
      their lives. Is this what you want? How many hearts of parents will be
      torn by the carnage of receiving greetings from the United States or
      Canada, from the Army, the Navy, the Marines, saying: ‘Your son is dead
      or missing in action.’ 
        
      “Is this what you want? Cannot you do a slight penance for your God, for
      your neighbors? Love your neighbors.”

                      Russia was “supplying Iraq with sophisticated military

                           Our Lady has warned us for years
                      that Russia is not converted–atheistic communism still
                      rules in the Kremlin–but is perpetrating a diabolical
                      ruse as a means to achieve their longtime stated objective
                      of worldwide communist domination.

                      patriarchs and bishops of Iraq, representing over one
                      million Iraqi Catholics, consecrated their country to the
                      Immaculate Heart of Mary.

      Punishment
      for sin 
      “Your country, the United States of America, shall be chastised. My
      heart is bereaved by the knowledge of the loss of great life that will
      come about in this minor chastisement. Wars are a punishment for man’s
      sins.”

      mothers of these broken bodies. Pray to hold back the engulfment that lies
      ahead.”

              of today, you will find the whole story of what is going on in the
              time of Armageddon. For the hands will point to twelve, which
              means that the hour has struck; six, for the arrival of 666; four,
              the Antichrist forces, against eight, the Eucharist, the
              priesthood of Jesus, and the Roman Catholic Church.

      act to delude you. Lenin and Stalin used the same tactics. . . . 
        
      “They have not disposed of their armaments. . . . They store them in
      other nations. They have the same goals as their forefathers.”

      Russia or else 
      “The red horse is war! And war is in the balance next, My child. And
      what can you do about this? This is My direction from Heaven–and We
      hope, My children, that you will get this out to the world: Unless the
      bishops and the Holy Father in unity with all the bishops of the world,
      unless they consecrate Russia to My Mother’s Immaculate Heart, the world
      will be doomed!”

                LOCUTIONS* 
              On
              Sunday night, May 6, 1990, the following was given to Veronica
              from Our Lady: “The present world condition is the calm
              before the storm. More rosaries are needed.” 
                   On Wednesday, August 8, 1990, at 9:50
              a.m., Our Lady said to Veronica: “Wars are a punishment for
              man’s sins. Unless you pray more, your sons will die on foreign
              shores.” 
                   About two weeks later, Our Lady told
              Veronica that if the boys should go to war their “bodies
              would be eaten by the buzzards.” 
                   On Tuesday, September 11, 1990, Our Lady
              revealed to Veronica that there would be a terrorist attack “on
              the state building.” Veronica knew immediately this was
              alluding to the Empire State building in New York City. 
                   On Thursday, December 13, 1990, at
              approximately 10:30 a.m., Our Lady said: “There are gross
              errors in the world. There will be a most disastrous war unless
              you now pray for peace at the Holy Hour and any free time you may
              have.” 
                   War as described many times in the past
              by Our Lady to Veronica: “man’s inhumanity to man.”
