The Message of Our Lady and Our Lord to Veronica of the Cross

Veronica--Our Lady says public prayer must not be taken away. If the prayers are stopped upon these sacred grounds a severe chastisement will be given to the city of New York.

September 7, 1974

Eve of the Nativity of Our Lady

Veronica--The sky is very dark, but now there is a light coming from a great distance. It's making the sky turn into--it looks like almost a large, huge picture.

BIRTH OF OUR LADY

I see a very poor-looking home. "An abode," Our Lady says, an abode. It is the house in which She was born. I see a house, a small room. The house consists of two rooms, one large one that has a--what must be what we would call a stove today. It's made of rocks, off at the left side of the wall, and there's an iron rod, a metal rod--I would think it's iron-- that hangs across from the top above these groupings of rocks. And there is a metal kettle--it's a pot that's sitting between the rocks, suspended from this iron rod that's held in place, I notice--it's almost like a fireplace--by other rocks. The rod seems to be placed in between two walls, hanging over what must be the cooking area. And off to the right, I see a table. It's made of one piece of very rough-looking wood. And the legs are crossed, like diagonally crossed, and they're holding up the two--four pieces of wood, holding up the structure of the table.

Now on the table there are sheetings, I notice, of muslin-looking cloth. Now there's a man--he's coming out, and he's falling to his knees. He's an elderly man, with his head bowed, and he's falling to his knees now. And there's a voice calling to him, and now he is grabbing these pieces of linen from the table and going into the small room that's over by the left side of the large room.

Oh, there's a lady, a lady--oh, she's lying in the bed, and there are two women with her, and they're holding now--oh, it's a baby! Oh, there are two women there and they are smiling. And the woman in the bed looks very tired. She's elderly, quite elderly. Oh, it's obvious that she has given birth to the baby.

Now all about her bed there's a great light shining, and off to the left now I see the figures of two--oh, they're angels, very huge figures to the left of the bed. Now the woman on the bed, she--though she's tired, she looks very happy, very serene and happy. I would say her age must be near fifty or over, in her early fifties. And the two women, they are speaking in a foreign tongue, but I know that they are saying: "The Lord has given you this gift to treasure, for it is the fulfillment of the prophecy. Your life--"

Oh, the voice is coming from the two angels that are standing--the sound seems to be coming simultaneously from both of them, the sound of them both saying together: "The start of the prophecy. Your lives are filled with joy. The start of a prophecy, the fulfillment of the Father."

Now the man--he has a beard, and he's quite elderly. And he's carrying now the bundle. It's a very small child, newborn child, and he's sitting down now on a wooden bench, and the tears are rolling down his face; he's crying. And he's saying: "I am not worthy of this great joy, this gift from the Father." And he's holding the baby very close to him.

Now it's growing very dark; I can't see much. I can't see much now; it's growing very dark.

Now over to the right side there's a great light coming down towards the middle of the flagpole, on the right side. Oh, it's Our Lady! Oh, Our Lady! She's dressed beautifully. She's all in white, and about Her head is a beautiful circlet of stars. Oh, She is so beautiful! Now She's coming, She's floating down, just above the Michael statue and over the banners. Oh, She's going to step on the banner if She comes any closer.

Oh, Our Lady looks very dainty. She looks very young. She's dressed all in white, and about Her cloak is a golden trim of all gold, and a circlet of light and diamonds is--well, it's stars about Her head.

Now Our Lady is reaching to Her side, and oh, She has Her beautiful Rosary, the one with the huge white beads and the golden Our Fathers. Now Our Lady is saying very softly:

Our Lady--"My child, you have witnessed My humble birth. From the time of My arrival My godly parents brought Me to the temple."

Veronica--Now Our Lady is going over to the left side of the flagpole. Now coming down from the sky are two figures. Oh, I can see them clearly now. Oh, it's--oh, and there are two following behind. And Our Lady is saying:

Our Lady--"Two generations, My child, of goodness and prophecy."

Veronica--Now I recognize them. It's Our Lady's family--Her mother and father, Joachim and Anne. And also Her grandparents. Oh, they look so very, very happy. And Our Lady is pointing up to them.

Our Lady--"My child, the example--if We could only return to your world the example given by all who have passed on into the Kingdom.

"The pages of the Book of life are turning much too fast, My child. The evil is accelerating. You must make every effort to increase the prayers upon earth. You must expect to meet with much opposition, for the forces of evil are great.

"I have warned you in the past. My Son has cautioned you. Beware of an evil force that surrounds a shrine of purity. They will try to stop you with all cunning and deception. Call upon your guardians, the archangels, and Tusazeri often. Pray for the light, My child, pray for the light.

"The photographs given to you must be examined with much care. They are given for reason. I must caution you, My child, not to reveal all that is hidden within them. You must use prudence in this matter.

MESSAGE IS FOR ALL

"The Message that comes from Heaven, My child, is for all mankind, for when the Warning and Chastisement comes upon you, it is all mankind that shall feel its effects. Many will die in the great flame of the Ball of Redemption. Pray much that those who laugh and cast aside My warning will be brought out of the darkness in time to save their souls.

"You must hasten, My child, as the time grows short, to warn Our clergy that they must not follow the plan of satan. There is a great delusion sent upon them. In the ranks of Our clergy and in the ruling bodies of My Son's houses, there are many who have fallen to satan. Can I deny this truth and allow you to go as sheep into the slaughtering pit? No, My children! My voice cries out from your sacred grounds. I have been sent throughout the world as a Mediatrix between God and mankind. I have been shut out of many places. My voice has not carried far. However, My children, the awakening will be soon, and it will be a sad day and night for many.

"Many follow because they are misled, My child. When they are given the knowledge of the truth and the blindness is removed from them, they, too, will come into the light. Pray much, for with prayer many souls will be recovered. These prayers must not be without acts of sacrifice and work. For what good are good words without work? For these words, unless they go forward to mankind, it is, My child, like placing meat on a dead man's grave.

"Fear, My child--there is nothing to fear. Face fear and it will disappear.

"I have asked many times that the leaders in My Son's houses watch carefully those in their charge. There has entered upon them a delusion. You must not be sucked into the octopus hands of those who seek to destroy My Son's House, His Church! They come to you as angels of light, with honeyed words and their acts of piety that are surface. However, within you find the blackened heart and the evil intent.

"There are many now, agents of satan. They were, My child, in the synagogues of My time and they are now in the synagogues of your time. However, they are not true men of God; therefore, I shall call them the synagogue of satan. They neither honor their God--they have set themselves to honor man! God has no place in their lives. Man shall be a creature for worship!

"Detach yourselves from these secret societies! Do not be fooled by their honeyed words of humanism and modernism, brotherhood and love, love, love. So many words of love do We hear, and what do you breed but hate and murder! By your fruits will you be known.

"Many have joined these societies not knowing their true intent. Investigate; do not be misled by the wealth that is offered to you in worldly goods and worldly enjoyment. Dig deep into the reality of their existence and know that they seek your destruction from within.

EXCOMMUNICATION FOR JOINING SECRET SOCIETIES

"It is under the pain of sin and demand from the Father in Heaven of excommunication all those who enter into the secret societies of the synagogues of satan--the sons of satan.

"You do not understand, My child, fully, My words. The world as created by the Father was to be a place of goodness and paradise, but your first father and mother sinned against the Father and had to then make his life upon earth a constant battle against the enemies of the Father, to make his way back to the Kingdom of Heaven.

"My Son is ever present in the Eucharist and the tabernacles of the world. If you continue on your present course, these tabernacles will be removed from among you. Pray, pray much that you receive the light to know the road that is being paved for your country and the world.

"The children of God will face enslavement by the enemies of God, known as your world Christianity, unless you pray and carry the banner of Faithful and True to God the Father.

"My children, I cry to you as a Mother. Do not deny Me this chance to reach you by removing Me from among you. I have come to direct you so that many souls destined for the abyss will be retrieved. We have watched with joyous hearts the recovery of many, and We have watched with saddened hearts as many fell into the abyss.

"Death will be commonplace in your world. Many children will be removed from among you. The agents of hell will multiply. Pray, for prayer is the greatest weapon given to you now to remove this evil from among you.

"My child, the warnings were given in your past earth life by many, for the spirit of truth was given to many to leave with you. But these memories, these words of truth, and the parchments on which they were written are being removed from among you and replaced by the writings from hell! I repeat, 'hell,' for, My child, We do not hear the word being used often. Hell and purgatory and the Kingdom of God--why have you forgotten these words? The enemies of God have done their work well among you. Come out of the darkness!

"Nothing is hidden from the Father. He looks into the hearts of all. Know that the Kingdom of Heaven awaits all, but none will enter unless he repents of his sin and makes restitution for the damages to mankind. I say these words, My child, for you to repeat for those with the power to damage and destroy.

"Pastors, shepherds of the flock, cleanse your House now while you have the time, for a House in darkness, a Church in darkness, wears a band of death about it! All that is rotten will fall! Wake up from your sleep! Take the blindness from your eyes and follow the truth given to you in your vocation. You have only one answer: reverse yourself from your present course of destruction. Recognize the faces of evil about you. Satan has many faces and agents. They will come in human form to destroy. The cunning and the dexterity of satan--there are no bounds that he will not use to claim a soul."

VISION OF HELL

Veronica--Oh, my goodness! I see--oh, it's a stench! The odor is so horrible! I see a huge pit, and I see it's burning. The walls are orange and burning hot. Oh! Oh, and I see these horrible creatures; they're clinging to the sides of the rocks. Some have wings on them with horrible--they look almost human--half human, half animal, but they have pointed ears. And they have . . . oh, my God! "Please, Blessed Mother, take me out of here!"

Oh, my God! They have feet that look like claws, and arms with hair, but they also--the fingers have long fingernails; they're like claws. And they have the most horrible grinning expressions on their faces.

Now I see, I see bodies of humans falling, fall--as they fall they're starting to glow. They're glowing like an orange color, like coals. And they're screaming, "Help! Mercy! Mercy! Too late! Too late!" Oh! Oh, my God! And I see they're going so fast--I don't know where they're falling from. They seem to be raining, like almost from the sky, into this pit. And I see --oh, my God! I see some are priests. Oh! Oh! And I see one, he has a--oh, my God!--a cardinal's hat on his head; and there are three--now I can count them, they're three--they have mitres on their heads. Oh, my God! Oh, it's so horrible! The heat is so great, and the stench! I feel like I'm just burning.

"Oh, Blessed Mother!"

Now I'm going up higher. The air is clearer. It's not so heavy. Oh! Oh, now it's becoming brighter. Oh, I'm so glad. Oh! Oh! Oh!

Our Lady--"My child--"

Veronica--Our Blessed Mother now is taking me--I feel like I'm all filled with sweat, the heat is so great!

Now Our Lady is looking at me sadly, and then moving over to the right side of the flagpole. I can see the black hole now. Oh!

Our Lady--"My child, you have viewed the poor souls lost forever into eternity.

"Come with Me, My child, and look."

PURGATORY

Veronica--Oh, I'm looking down now into another pit. It's, it's like the very ground is opening up. And I see a very dark place, but it's bright on the top. But we're going down further and I see people, but they're glowing also. Now down, down, deep down into the hole, I see--it's like a void, and I see people sitting there. Some are orange, and others are just starting to turn orange in color. And they're crying. I can hear words. They're all in a horrible anguish, and I hear two--I think they're speaking to each other, "Oh, if we could only go back and tell. If we could only reveal to those on earth what we now are living."

And now Our Lady is taking my hand. We're just floating; we're just floating up around this large, deep pit.

Our Lady--"You see, My child, the place of waiting, the place of cleansing. Very few escape waiting."

Veronica--It is purgatory. There seems to be various levels as I look down. On the top, the place I would rather stand.

"Our Lady, let me go up, a little further up. It's not the terrible feeling of anguish.

"It's not so bad here, Our Lady. It's brighter and brighter."

Our Lady--"That, My child, is because the human soul knows that its release is near."

Veronica--Now Our Lady is taking my hand, and we're floating up, up, and Our Lady is pointing up to the sky. Oh, and there's a beautiful, great light in the sky.

Our Lady--"My child, that is where all mankind should strive to reach. Beyond the farthest star is an eternity of happiness with the Father in the Kingdom of Heaven. Is it worth, My child, for any man to make the decision of living upon earth, so short in years, a life offensive to the Father that he cannot enter then into the Kingdom of God? Shall you trade your soul for worldly gain and the few short years of pleasure--the destruction of your soul upon earth?

"My tears are great, My child, for so few search for the truth. And so many are taking this truth from among them.

"Believe, believe, My children, and you will be given the way. Seek and you shall find. Ask and it will be given to you. However, you must care, My children. You must want to come to Us. No love can be forced upon you.

CENTER OF ATONEMENT

"I have asked for these grounds to be consecrated for the recovery of souls. I have asked that the clergy, who have been given this sacred duty to the Father, preserve these sacred grounds as a shrine, a center of atonement. The balance for your nation and your state, My child, lies with the prayers that come to Us from your country and the world.

"The enemies of the Father have worked well to remove Me, My children, from among you. Keep the monuments, the statues, in your homes. Recover the old Testaments and Books that are being cast into the fires and destroyed and replaced with the works of satan. Read these good Books of old to your children. Keep the Faith in the hearts of those you love, for you will find satan sending his agents to your doors. Guard your families with the sacramentals given to you. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer, My children. I cannot caution you enough. My voice grows weak. My years on earth-time grow short. I come to you, My arms filled with graces--graces for the asking, graces in abundance, graces for cure and conversion.

"Eternal life is the reward for those who will stand fast in the Faith and defend My Son. Your earthly bodies will all be consigned to the dust. So why should you care more for the pleasures of the flesh and the living of your earthly body when you can gain the Kingdom of Heaven by a short sacrifice, My child?

"I repeat, My child--and listen well and ponder upon My words: Mankind must now reverse his present course. The truth, the light is dim throughout your world. The agents of satan will seek to try to remove from among you your religion of truth.

"I have said before, My child, and I will repeat again: You will find the world engrossed in not only a worldly war of the flesh, but one of the spirit--a war of religion. You will all carry the banner Faithful and True, knowing that the ultimate victory will be with My Son.

"How foolish are those who think that they shall set themselves above the Father, their Creator! Have they not learned their lesson from the past? Lucifer and his agents, they were cast out of the Kingdom! Do you think that you will enter when you deny the Father upon earth? No! You will claim your just reward with satan in his kingdom. Hell, an eternity of hell awaits all who desecrate and deny the existence of the Father in My Son and in the Holy Spirit.

"Compassion, My child, shall be a word unknown soon. Mercy and kindness--that, too, will disappear as iniquity will grow to such great extremes that mankind shall barricade himself to escape it.

"I say that compassion and mercy shall disappear, for many will use those words only as words to gain their true cause, the destruction of the human soul.

"Pray much, My child; persevere in your mission. The Message of Heaven will reach throughout the world. Use the word common to your human nature, the Revelations. The apocalyptic days are upon you. All must read the Book of life. Do not accept any printings after the year of 1965. For if you do, you must read them and pray for the light so that you will not be deceived.

"You will now, My child, be seated and await My Son."

[Pause]

DEMON 6

Veronica--Letters are coming out in the sky now. They are large letters: P-E-R-S-E-C-U-T-I-O-N, "PERSECUTION OF THE MYSTICAL BODY." It's written: "PERSECUTION OF THE MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST. DEMON 6 IS BEING RELEASED."

Our Lady--"There will be many among you who will claim to be the Christ. Remember, My children, My Son shall return only the way He left. As He ascended into the heavens, He will come down, return, descend from the heavens with the armies of Heaven behind Him. Accept none who will pass themselves off to you as the Christ, the living God! Reject these creatures of hell in human form. Reject them, though they may come to you with great powers of satan.

"Number 6--beware of the Antichrist among you--number 6! He will promote now the Third World War, the great war of destruction to mankind--a war that has never been met with a sequel upon mankind, a war of destruction so great that countries shall disappear in a fraction of a second. So great will be the power of 6 that he shall start this war!

"The Father watches, My child. Man leads himself onto the road of his own destruction. Satan has deceived mankind and placed into his hands the means for his own destruction--not only of his soul eternal, but his human body. Many bodies will be burned, leaving bones exposed."

Veronica--Now Our Lady is coming forward, and She's raising Her hand. Oh, She has Her large golden crucifix on the end of Her Rosary, and She's raising it and making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Our Lady--"Continue, My children, with your prayers."

[Pause]

DECEPTION

"My child, I wish to clarify this with you: When I speak to you of these secret societies, know that there are many now. The numbers are far greater than you know that have entered into them. Some go as they think they have reached a place of esteem. Many have been baptized, destined for the Kingdom of the Father. However, warn them, My child, that they are in great danger of losing this precious gift. Recognize the deception within these societies. They do much good, but the evil, the true purpose beneath this good, is abominable, for it seeks to remove from among you God the Father and all knowledge of His Being.

"The saddest fact, My child, is this great army of satan seeks to destroy My Son's Church, and will use its own members to try to destroy. However, the foundation is My Son. It will never be destroyed. But the walls can crumble, and the numbers of souls lost will be counted in the many. For only a few will be saved!

"What have you to gain, My children, if you gain the whole world and lose your soul? Think! Ponder! Save your soul and the souls of those you love!

"Many have cast aside and will not be given the chance to make this recovery, My child. That is why you have watched and felt My tears falling upon mankind.

"The Father will chastise those He loves. Many will return in this hardship. Know that the Ball of Redemption is a reality that will come upon your world. The Ball of Redemption nears.

"Remember the power of prayer. Enter and be with My Son at the tabernacles throughout your world. He is lonely. The doors are shut. Many receive Him with dishonor in their hearts. Many make Us turn Our faces in embarrassment and shame, My child, for the desecrationS being committed within the houses of My Son are many.

"A great portion, a great measure of responsibility lies with the parents for the saving of their children's souls.

"Persevere, My children, My child, in the days ahead.

"The agents of satan have gained control in the major medias of your country. The great eagle has been plucked. It will not rise again unless a major miracle of return to the Father, return to Faith, is accomplished.

"You will, My child, bar your doors to all but your immediate family and trusted workers. I cannot caution you enough. Heed My words, My child. Never doubt the Message from Heaven, for you are guarded by the angels but have a free will. And sadly, My child, if you do not follow the direction given you, you must accept the consequences."

Veronica--Now I see going across the sky--oh, they're horses. There's a white horse and a red horse--strange colors for horses, white and red. They're galloping. Oh, they're going very fast across the sky. And then there's a black horse. Oh, oh, and then next to the black horse there's a large--it looks like a question mark, a question mark next to the black horse. Now next to the question mark, there's a very strange figure coming out; it looks like a clenched fist. It looks like somebody is shaking their fist, like this. Right next to the question mark--looks like a sickle, and there is a large hand, but the hand is blue and black. It's like a black hand, and it's held over like this.

"I don't know what it means, Blessed Mother."

Our Lady--"You will, My child, in the future.

"Yes, My child, they have placed a price upon your head. However, do not fear for you have your armor."

Veronica--"No, I'm not afraid. I'm just scared!"

Our Lady--"There is nothing, My child, that you must fear. All you must fear is for the attacks of satan and his seduction of souls. Remember My words to you before: your family is the world. As a messenger for Heaven, your family is the world, the world of human beings. It is a great task, but there are many with you. The word of God shall go throughout the world and then will come the darkness.

"The greatest knowledge, My child, is the eventual victory and reign of My Son upon earth. There will be great trials. Many will fall by the wayside, unable to carry their crosses. Many will choose the easy road. But keep a steady course, for My Son is at the helm. Know, My child, that the bark of Peter flounders, but My Son is at the helm. Those who are asleep will be awakened. Pray for those in darkness that they may come into the light, My child."

Veronica--Now it's growing very dark. Our Lady is moving over to the right side of the flagpole, over the trees.

Our Lady--"Do not look startled, My child. I am not leaving. I will be here now until My Son comes."

SAINT PIUS X

Veronica--And above--now Our Lady is pointing up. Oh, Michael is standing just above Our Lady, over by the trees on the right side. He's holding the balance in his hand, in his right hand, and he has his large spear in his left hand. He's standing above Our Lady. And next to him is a man; he's an elderly man. Oh, he's got beautiful robes on, and I notice on his head he has a tiara. He must be a Pope. And now he looks--he's very kindly looking. And He's shaking his head. He is a Pope. Oh! Oh, above him now is written "PIUS X." And he's shaking his head. Pope Pius, Pope Pius X? Oh!

Pope Pius X--"I recognized, my child, the evils that were to fall upon the world. Search for the knowledge I have left to you. I, too, was enlightened by the Holy Spirit. Read well the legacy of truth that I left to you. Modernism must be erased from your world!"

Veronica--Now Michael is coming over to--he's standing above the flagpole, and he's looking down. He looks quite stern.

St. Michael--"Harken to my words, O man of sin! You shall not defile or defame the Mother of God, the woman of virtue and purity whom you seek to dethrone in Her place among you. Vengeance, the saints cry out for vengeance! How long will you survive the Ball of Redemption?"

Veronica--Oh, my goodness! Oh, there's--up in the sky, there's that tremendous thing, a ball of fire. It looks like another giant sun. Oh, my! It looks like a giant sun; it's so big! And it's spinning. There are two suns! It looks just like two suns. They're almost the same size. Oh, the one on the left is spinning, though; it's heading towards the other one. Oh, my! Oh, it's like two suns in the sky. They're tremendous! Oh, the ball on the left that's coming, coming in very fast. It's, it's an absolute ball of fire, and it's giving out like trails of gases, like it's vapors, because they're not solid. It's like flames and smoke and vapors. Oh! Oh, my!

Now it's growing very dark, and Our Lady now is coming forward. The light is very bright upon Our Lady over by the trees. She looks so beautiful! Now Our Lady is motioning to sit back.

Our Lady--"Continue now and join the prayers, My child, for many are needed."

[Pause]

Veronica--The prayers must continue, for Jesus is on the right side of the flagpole. Beautiful! He's smiling, but--He has on a burgundy-colored robe. But Jesus now is touching His lips. I can't talk now.

Jesus--"You will make it known to the world that those whom I have chosen to be shepherds of My flock will suffer greatly in the days ahead. However, they must guide by the light those who are not in earthly training, for My priesthood have been given the knowledge of truth. They must live this life; they must not give themselves to the world. For at this present time, My children, My houses upon earth are being opened to all the agents of hell. You must cleanse My House now, or you will have to close your doors.

"You must not unite with the forces of evil. Be not deluded. You must not compromise the Faith!"

Veronica--Now Jesus is coming down. He's looking down upon the people. And now Jesus is coming over, and He's standing now by the left side of the flagpole. Now He's coming down and standing above the banner of Michael.

Now Jesus is dressed as before I described, but He did not want the prayers interrupted. Jesus has on a burgundy-colored robe; it's an outer covering. And He's barefooted. And I can see, I can see the great holes--it's almost like holes. It seems like the light is shining upon them, and I can see the terrible holes in His feet, right at the insteps. The one on His left foot seems to be down closer to His toes. They're very, very painful looking.

Now Jesus is placing His hand out in front of Him, like this, and His hand--the fingers are being brought together, like this, the three fingers. And now He is placing His hand out in front 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 turning over, and He is smiling down. And He is placing His hand out, like this. And there are lights coming out of His hands. They are very, very bright. Oh, they're very bright! I see the rays--they're like extremely white lights, very bright, coming down now onto the grounds. And Jesus now is smiling, and the lights are very bright.

Jesus--"Strength and fortitude. Strength and fortitude."

Veronica--Jesus repeated twice: "Strength and fortitude."

Jesus--"Piety and chastity. Piety and chastity."

Veronica--Now Jesus is rising a little higher over the Michael banner. And He's coming over now to the right side of the flagpole. He's smiling. Jesus looks very peaceful. Oh, a feeling of such joy and peace comes over me that--oh, there's . . . I can't explain it.

Jesus--"My child, there is no human way you could explain the mysteries of Heaven."

Veronica--And now Jesus is smiling. And now He is placing His hand down again, like this, and the rays are coming down on the right side. Oh, they're so bright! I can't look into them, they are so bright. Oh, I'm trying to count through Jesus' fingers how the rays, how many there are: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven rays. Oh, they're just beautiful! They're going right down. Now they're turning almost a pink, down onto the grounds and across, back, back, back over the trees into the street. Oh!

Now they seem to be just disintegrating; they're like evaporating. And now Jesus has placed His hand down, and now He's placing it in front of Him, and He is looking down and making, with His three fingers together, the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Jesus--"I bless you, My children: In the name of the Father, and of the Holy Ghost. Continue with your prayers of atonement.

"Strength and courage, perseverance in prayer. Acts of sacrifice will be needed in the days ahead. Do not follow the ways of mankind. The truth has been given to you. Live in the light. Do not cast your souls into the darkness."

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

Now Jesus is floating up. Oh, He's floating up, up, up to the . . . He's almost next to the top of the flagpole. Oh, and Our Lady now is coming from over behind the trees. And Our Lady is standing next to Jesus. Our Lady comes up to about His shoulder, a little below His shoulder. And oh, the light is so bright about Him! It's beautiful!

Now Jesus is bending down.

Jesus--"Continue with your good prayers, My children."

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

[Pause]

PRAYERS HOLD THE BALANCE

Our Lady says public prayer must not be taken away. If the prayers are stopped upon these sacred grounds a severe chastisement will be given to the city of New York. The prayers must be continued, for they are the balance for your state. The evil from New York is spreading like a cancer. The Father wishes to put a heavy hand upon your state and city now. The balance will be held by the prayers of the faithful. Know now the prayers must not be stopped.
