Jesus appeared with Our Lady.

     Jesus--"My child, it is not by accident that We chose this site for atonement. The evil is unparalleled in your city. It is like a cancer! Would I set the sword on you now, your city would be leveled. But My Mother begs Me to give you time to atone."

     Our Lady--"Yes, My children, I am here with My Son tonight. Our hearts should be joyous, but We have looked beyond your state into the hearts of your countrymen. We see evil spreading west. Already your children are having their souls desecrated."

  Veronica  in ecstasy at Vigil in the early years.

Jesus--"The evil one I have warned you of has continued on his dastardly deeds of destruction. When will you wake up from your feelings of false security? You are all blind, My children. Will it take a major catastrophe to awaken you?

ABORTIONS TO BRING DESTRUCTION

     "The souls you have sent back to My Father will be your score sheet for the destruction that will fall on you! These of the plan of My Father. You are no longer sharing with My Father in creation, for you have chosen to be against My Father!
     "Would you have listened to Us, the man of sin would not have entered your country. You left the door open. Pray that this serpent does not enter your house; for he roams, gathering these souls for Lucifer. We are at war now, but the war of the spirits has far direr consequences than the human beings in worldly war combats.
     "My Mother has given the plan for salvation countless times before. Will there only be counted a few in the final total? This will depend on prayer, works, and efforts of love in action demonstrated by all remaining souls on this earth.
     "I have chosen from this world many messengers to repeat Our cries, but they, too, will share the way of the cross."

     Our Lady turned to Jesus and said, sadly:

     Our Lady--"O My Jesus, how well the darkness covers the land! We look upon hate, greed, paganism, and murder. The darkest of sins are being committed!

THE UNHOLY RAY

     "Guard your children from the unholy ray. Keep the monuments in your home. Keep the Rosary about your neck. These were not given for decoration. We cannot bear the blasphemies against Us much longer.

   This miraculous photo was not taken on the sacred grounds, but in a home in Holyoke, Mass. It was this little girl's birthday party, and she was asked to make a birthday wish while the birthday cake was being lit. The girl's wish was that Our Lady come to her party. When a photo was taken, one's sees that Our Lady granted her wish. The Vigil Statue of Our Lady of the Roses appears in front of the girl, carrying an armful of roses. Even Veronica's Shrine crucifix can be seen over the girl's chest area, as though blessing the little girl's wish.

  "Now We admonish you to save your soul and the souls of your loved ones. We are always with you. Just raise your hearts in prayer to Us. Your prayers and sacrifices will be needed for your priests."

DISCORD AMONG HIERARCHY

     Jesus--"Yes, they will be needed to safeguard those who represent Me in My House. For the man of perdition will enter higher places to render discord among those who rule My House on earth.
     "Have pity for those who will fall into his trap. Only prayer and mortification of the senses can retrieve one of these souls. No one will be free from the assaults of the Church by the one called Antichrist unless you keep Me with you, not as an occasional visit, but as a daily act of love.
     "Satan has placed his disciples in your schools, your government, your ways of entertainment, your means of communication: all have been infiltrated. You can readily see, My children, how far he has progressed to destroy!
     "We are gathering Our armies from Heaven. Yes, We are watching and will join in the eventual combat, for My Mother's heart will heal when We triumphantly remove the evil one from among you."

     Veronica then received a personal message from Jesus, which she cannot reveal at this time.

     Our Lady--"We will continue to guide you in the dark days ahead. We urgently beg you for acts of penance, atonement, sacrifice--daily. This will be all that can hold back the darkness.
     "My children, I hear all the prayers and pleas that are coming to Me. I am gathering the graces to strengthen you in the days ahead."


Rose notes from Veronica:

     Saint Bonaventure said in his psalter that whoever neglected Our Lady would perish in his sins and would be damned. "He who neglects Her will die in his sins." If such is the punishment for neglecting Her, what must be the punishment in store for those who actually turn others away from their devotions to the Rosary!
     While Saint Dominic was preaching the Rosary in Carcassonne, a heretic made fun of the miracles and the fifteen mysteries of the holy Rosary, and this prevented other heretics from being converted. As a punishment God suffered l5,000 devils to enter the man's body. His parents took him to Father Dominic to be delivered from the evil spirits. He started to pray, and begged everyone who was there to say the Rosary out loud with him. At each Hail Mary Our Lady drove 100 devils out of the heretic's body, and they came out in the form of red hot coals.

     The learned Franciscan, Cartagena, relates this factual story which took place in 1492:
     The venerable James Sprenger and other religious of his order were zealously working to reestablish devotion to the holy Rosary, and also to erect a confraternity in the city of Cologne.
     Unfortunately, two priests who were famous for their preaching ability were jealous of the great influence they were exerting through preaching the Rosary. So these two fathers spoke against the devotion whenever they had a chance. As they were very eloquent and had a great reputation, they persuaded many people not to join the confraternity.
     One of them, bound and determined to achieve his wicked end, wrote a special sermon against the Rosary and planned to give it the following Sunday. When it came time for the sermon he never appeared, and after a certain amount of waiting somebody went to fetch him. He was found dead, and evidently died all alone, without anyone to help him and without seeing a priest.
