Veronica at one of the Vigils
History of the Apparitions
The Apparitions of the Virgin Mary at Bayside date back to the year 1970 when Veronica Lueken, the chosen instrument of Heaven, was graced with the first Apparition in her home on April 7th. This Apparition was also witnessed by her neighbor, Grace Pera.
Our Lady instructed the seer to hold Vigils of prayer on the eves of the great feast days of the Church on the grounds of the old St. Robert Bellarmine Church in Bayside, in front of the statue of Our Lady of Grace.
She promised that She would appear and give her a Message for the world
at each Vigil beginning on June 18 th that year. The Apparitions continued
for 25 years until Veronica's death on August 3, 1995.
Teilhard de Chardin is in hell!
Testimonial of faith
from Kalamazoo, Michigan:
"Before I learned of the Apparitions at Bayside from a family friend,
I was a devout atheist, not believing in any religion. I went to a Bayside
meeting, and I saw the miraculous photographs, which convinced me that I
should at least investigate to found for myself if it was real. After investigating
to my satisfaction, I decided that it was something that I wanted in my
life, and I followed through on it. I was a believer in Bayside and converted
to Catholicism even before coming here on these Grounds."
Manifestations & miracles
Miraculous Virgin Mary Image
in Clearwater, Florida
Thousands of people have been converging at the corner of U.S. 19 and Drew St. in Clearwater, Florida since December 1996 when the miraculous image was discovered on the building wall of the Seminole Finance Co.
The image, which measures about 65 feet high and twenty-three across, closely resembles stain glass figures in many Catholic churches. According to reports from eyewitnesses, the figure glows and shimmers, turning from green to blue, to red. The outline of a head, a hooded robe and most of the upper part of the body adorns the tinted glass panels of the office tower.
People have been seen reciting the Holy Rosary, some on their knees, while others just mill about, drawn by curiosity to the site. The wall has become a shrine of sorts, with people leaving candles, photos of children, handwritten prayers and funeral notices.
"God is giving us a sign," said Sister Martin, a nun of the Order of Saint Anne in Bangalore, India. "God is telling us it is time to change our ways," said Sister Christian of the same order.
Skeptics say it is caused by the sun reflecting off water left by sprinklers. But others, like myself, believe it is a true miracle. How could such a gigantic image form into the likeness of the Virgin Mary by simple coincidence?
Here's my view on the matter:The figure of the Virgin Mary painted in
rainbow colors on a glass wall of a bank bldg is very beautiful and symbolic
at the same time. The message of the Divine Artist may be that inner and
exterior peace will only return to the world when the people no longer seek
the rainbow treasures of this world (symbolized by the bank bldg). Remember,
God set the rainbow in the sky as a covenant of peace between Himself and
mankind after the Flood in Genesis, the first book of the Bible. In the
last book, the Apocalypse, chapter 4, 2-6, a rainbow surrounds the throne
of God, which is made of, as it were, of a sea of glass like to crystal(like
the glass panes of this bldg). Peace will come when we returns to Him through
His Mother, Mary most Holy, who dwells with God next to His throne in glory.
God has entrusted the peace of the world to His Mother; so let us turn to
Her for the rainbow graces which we sorely need to save ourselves and our
loved ones.

March 18, 1973
Eve of the Feast of St. Joseph
Our Lady--"My child,
I wish to speak with you alone for the first few moments of your gathering
here.
"You will not fully understand the ways of
the Father in accomplishing the salvation of many souls of His children.
I have stressed many times in the past that all will be tried and tested.
Prepare to do full battle with satan. The strength necessary for your mission
will be given to you.
"You have experienced a major attack from
satan to stop the good work. But as We knew, this you would overcome.
"You will omit all unnecessary associates
from your immediate work. You do not have the time left for idle talk and
entertaining. The message must go in great haste throughout the world.
"We expected, My child, for you to fall into
many pitfalls; Our warnings are given, but many go unheeded. However, all
evil is never triumphant. The Father shall turn all evil to good.
"Man is carried away by his intellect and
emotions. He would find more strength in trial in prayer.
"The greatest attack from satan are upon the
young. All parents will be held responsible for the fall of their children's
souls.
"The closer you come to your salvation, the
harder satan will fight and send his agents to destroy.
A SANCTUARY OF PEACE AND SOLACE
CURATIVE WATERS WILL COME FORTH
"I dispense among you many graces to strengthen
you in the battle ahead. The days for the great trial of chastisement grow
near. We are now gathering the sheep.
"The sacred grounds founded here by the Father
shall be a sanctuary of peace and solace to many in the future. Upon these
grounds will come forth curative waters.
Miraculous Photo taken January 15, 1978, by Catharine Olwell at the
Old St. Robert Bellarmine Church, the site chosen by Our Lady for Her future
Shrine and Basilica. It appears as if a spring of water is gushing forth
from the ground precisely at the spot where Our Lady says the miraculous
waters will arise.
Upon these grounds will be found the evidence of the hand of the Father.
"We will use many voice-boxes and promote
manifestations in many lives to strengthen our armies throughout your world.
"Our great sorrow lies in the abominations
being committed in the House of God.
"Do not be led astray by the fallacy. The
duly-consecrated and lawful priest ordained by sacred hands shall always
have the authority from his God to bring the true Body, supernatural and
physical, to Our children on earth. We sorrow for the manner in which man
is doing this. We find abominations and diversions within the House of God.
However, you must know as fact that in the place of a high priest of God
there are two outstanding forces from the Holy Spirit when they bring the
Son of God to you! Evident and truthfully brought in body and spirit!
"My Son placed upon earth representatives.
They will counsel in truth or answer to the Father for their fallacies,
for their abominations, for their half-truths, and for their falling into
the false modes of modernism and humanism which We find prevalent among
many.
DO NOT LEAVE HOME PARISH
THE CONSECRATION IS VALID!
"We ask all to remain steadfast and do not
leave their home parishes. The heart of the House of God is the coming of
My Son through the Consecration of His Host. Though We sorrow of the antics
of many of Our high priests and clergy, you cannot deny the validity of
the Consecration.
A PRIEST FOR LIFE...
"When a man has given himself and chosen from
out of the world as a priest of his God, he will be a priest for life.
"I do not choose to be repetitious in My words
of the past. I only emphasize that you prepare and make ready for the cleansing
which is soon at hand.
"I have travelled throughout your world shedding
tears in many places, tears of sorrow, as I watch your world going farther
into the darkness. It took much less for the Father to cleanse your world
when He chose Noe to start anew.
(pause)
"All who remain in well spirit shall approach
the coming days with great hope. The rescue will be with the coming of My
Son.
"There will be visited upon your country and
the world a great plague. Many children will die in this cleansing. Young
souls rescued from the contamination of a world that has given itself to
satan!
"The prayers of many upon earth, My child,
have opened the doors of purgatory. Joyously, We have gathered to Us many
released by the goodness of heart of those upon your earth.
"You have the graces and knowledge of truth
among you that will guide you in the rescuing of your brothers from satan.
Your example must be one that is constructive.
"Sin in your country and in the world has
become a way of life. The young recognize nothing but sin. They have been
moderated and become accustomed to vileness in their world of entertainment,
godlessness in their government, godlessness in their schools. Now the main
burden of the salvation of their souls will rest with the parents.
TEILHARD DE CHARDIN IS IN HELL!
"Many of Our clergy have become blinded through
their love of worldly pleasure and riches. Many have accepted a soul once
high as a priest. Teilhard is in hell! He burns forever for the contamination
he spread throughout the world! A man of God has his choice as a human instrument
to enter into the kingdom of satan.
"Man will not defy the laws of God without
going unpunished. You are a perverse generation, and you call the hand of
punishment down fast upon you.
"There will come over the earth a great darkness.
The air: stagnant, lacking oxygen. There will be no light; the candles will
be few. Then the heat will become intense.
"You will he warned by the approach of the
Chastisement some time before. Penance will come too late for many. Already
the Father has started the Ball on its way to you now. O My children, why
did you turn your back upon Our need now?!
"I have been forced now to bow to the will
of the Father, accepting with great sorrow the knowledge that many will
be claimed before they can be ransomed.
"All who have been given the graces necessary
for their salvation will with knowledge go forth and rescue their brothers.
"I stand upon the head of the serpent. My
heel will crush him, but not until man and the world have been cleansed.
I come as a Mediatrix of all graces, Representative through My Son in the
Father.
"There is a light--a great light upon earth.
All shall bask in this light as they fight the great battle. Those who are
in the light will find themselves scourged; those who are in the light will
walk the road of My Son. They will be crucified by their own.
"Unless man can deny his mother, his father,
his sister, his brother, his children, and walk on the path of righteousness
as a disciple of Christ, he shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
"The greatest test of heart is how much you
shall give, not how much you will receive. It is only in giving that you
shall truly receive the light. Each man must armor himself with every means
of obtaining graces to strengthen his immortal soul.
"My Son is lonely; He has been abandoned in
His tabernacle and His home. The doors have been locked. He remains there
a prisoner of His own.
"My Son is very lonely in His House. Won't
you come with compassion and ease His loneliness? You do not abandon those
you love. Have you no love for your Creator? Have you no love for He Who
gave His life upon earth for you? Have you no love for He Who still sheds
His Blood for you?
(pause)
"I have, O woe to man, this saddest of stories:
man against man, brother against brother, mother against daughter, father
against son, in the battle of the spirits.
"Now, O poor aged and helpless, poor on earth,
you will now be victims of your own.
"Doctors of the earth, what have you done
to yourselves in your practices? You do not seek to preserve life, but to
destroy.
(pause)
"My poor children, hopeless of heart, know
now that the future after the cleansing will be glorious, far more glorious
than your human mind could ever conceive. Beauty of beauties! Emotion superb!
The pursuement of every desire that man could conceive on earth will be
yours in the Kingdom. Is this, My children, what you will discard for the
few short earthly years given to you, as you run about aimlessly seeking
the pleasures of your world and the riches, willing to close your hearts
and your ears to the truth? Many have chosen this path, for they find to
shut out the truth will take their conscience, God-given to them, away.
How mistaken they are! They cannot run from the Spirit.
"There will be in your world accidents that
are not accidents, deaths not of natural causes, planned by the satanic
sons."
(pause)
Veronica--I can only at this time reveal a part
of the message given by Our Lady.
A SATANIC GROUPING OF ONE-WORLD PLANNERS
Our Lady--"There is now in the world a
satanic grouping of one-world planners. They will eliminate slowly in their
plan the Church of Jesus. This will be accomplished in great haste, should
the seat of Peter be abandoned at this time.
"We ask that all prayers continue in perpetuity.
A constant vigilance of prayer will go throughout the world. Your world
can no longer be saved by any means of man, for now man stands in judgment
before his God.
"Should I give you at this time dates as you
ask, My child, there will be no constructiveness in this measure. Be prepared
now, and you will be ready for what lies ahead.
"Love of your God, honor to your God, and
following the rules set forth by your God shall not be a temporary habit,
but must be inborn and a renewal complete.
"All who parade as angels of light but carry
black hearts do not go unseen by the Father. They shall be pulled as weeds
from the garden.
"There is no force, be it in your heaven or
on your earth, that is above your Creator. Man in his arrogance shall meet
the fate of the fallen angels.
THE FILTH IN PRINT IN CATHOLIC SCHOOLS
"You will remove now from the sacred schools
set up within the district and parishes of the Houses of God the filth and
abominations in print. You will restore truth in the schools controlled
by the Houses of God.
"All clergy who do not accept the truth and
follow their vocation with pride and godliness as representatives of their
God shall meet the fate of the fallen angels.
"Confusion and delusion are the work of satan.
You have been given the truth, and you will be guided in the truth if you
remain close to My Son.
"We are permitting at this time manifestations
and evidence of miracles, more abundant than ever in the past history of
your world. This is a means We shall use to fight the armies of satan. I
promise, as the Mother of God and Queen of Heaven, to bestow upon all who
come to My sacred grounds, powers within their sacramentals for cure and
conversion.
(pause)
THE PERPETUAL VIRGINITY OF MARY
"I want it known at this time that I dwelt
upon earth in human form, but so placed by the Father in His plan from time
and eternity. I came upon earth in virginity, and I left earth in virginity.
My life upon earth was planned far in advance of my coming. I was but an
instrument of the Father in His plan for the salvation and redemption of
mankind .
VERONICA CHOSEN FOR HER STRENGTH IN SUFFERING
"When My work was completed, I was taken through
the power of God into the Kingdom to join My Son, just as you, Veronica,
when your work is completed, will be taken in your soul and spirit to the
Kingdom.
"I made this promise to you, and I do not
speak in idleness. You, My child, were not chosen by accident. You were
chosen for your strength in suffering.
"I wish this, My child, to be given in print,
though I know that you would prefer it not be given to the world. But, My
child, you are no longer an identity, but an instrument of God, a transmitter
of the Message to mankind. Therefore, all words I choose for you to speak
out will be given to mankind.
"Once, My child, you have learned that it
will be necessary to completely retire from your human attachments, you
will find that all suffering will be useful for the salvation of other souls.
"We are not displeased, My child, at your
reaction to Our tests. But We are pleased very much, My child, by the fact
that you have come through triumphant, as We knew you would. Do you, My
child, not know that you must be purified, too?"
Veronica--Over to the left side of the flagpole
is St. Theresa, and now she's motioning to the right side of the flagpole.
And there Theresa says:
St. Theresa of Avila--"My sister Theresa
is on My side."
Veronica--Oh! Theresa of Lisieux. She says, "Lisieux."
Theresa says:
St.Theresa of the Child Jesus or the Little
Flower--"I can speak English. I do not have to use my native French.
Veronica, I followed the rule given by Theresa of Aveel-Avilah-Avila.
"The rule must be continued. The changes brought
into your world have been to corrupt the sisters of the convent. Those who
choose to follow the fashions and fads have been misled, and many are on
the road to hell. Their examples have also placed many souls with them on
this road. The habits of the sisters are abominations in the eyes of the
Father!
"There will be no strength in the House of
God for man unless he returns to his ways that have proven strength in the
past. By your fruit will you be known, and many now lie rotten upon your
earth. They have also fallen, from the trees before they grew to bear fruit.
THE DOORS OF THE CHURCH SHALL NOT BE CLOSED
"It is the plan of satan to close the doors
of the House of Our God. This purpose shall not be accomplished, but in
this battle many souls will be lost to Heaven."
Veronica--Now over the flagpole there is--oh! It's
Michael. Michael is coming forward. It's very, very windy. Now Michael has
over his--he has a short sort of a garment on, but over it he has a cape.
It has a gold clasp that's holding it together, But the wind has caught
it now. It looks like it's velvet--a velveteen cape. And it's blowing.
But Michael now is holding a spear. The tip of
the spear is very golden. Now Michael is taking the spear, and he's pointing
back towards the church. He says:
St. Michael--"Open the doors and allow
me to enter. Bring me back to stand guard over the House of God. You open
the doors to demons with your permissiveness."
Veronica--Now over on the right side of the flagpole
is Raphael. Oh! And St. Joseph--St. Joseph is now standing there. And St.
Joseph is being joined--Our Lady is going over to him. And also behind now--oh,
now to the right of St. Joseph is--oh, St. Anne. I know St. Anne. Oh! Oh!
Oh! The Holy Family. Written above Them the words, "The Holy Family".
It's written-- it's written like in the same kind of writing on the picture
of Jacinta. "The Holy"--it's all written together in script--"Family"--in
golden letters.
Now Joseph, he has on a long, brown cape-like garment.
And Joseph--oh, oh, he's smiling. And he says:
St. Joseph--"I am a man of few words, preferring
to stand behind my Son. But I do feel great sorrow for the state of man
on earth and his family life. The family that does not pray together can
not stay together, for prayer chases the demons from the household. Why
has man no longer chosen to bless his home with sacramentals and the waters?
PARENTS ARE TO USE THE ROD
"I wish that all fathers of households stand
forth and practice their role. They will use the rod and not permit their
children to go astray. Firmness is needed in your world that is filled with
laxity, permissiveness and degradation.
"Your children have been misled by many who
shall answer to the Father. As teachers they have failed in their role.
Therefore, as parents you must succeed in yours.
"The greatest detrimental factor in the family
and home is the desire for the material. Better that you live in the gardens
and fields with the nourishment of manna from Heaven, than to be filled
with the abominations of the world.
"Man has lost his way. Man has set himself
from the road to the Kingdom. He has not much time to return to the road.
He will gather his family about him and save those he loves, and in the
charity of his heart seek to set an example for his neighbor."
Veronica--I see over on the left side of the flagpole
a large cross, and it's setting over St. Peter's. The cross seems to be
darkening; it's becoming very black. I see a great darkness settling over
St. Peter's. Now there's appearing in the sky a book, and the book has a
large cross upon it. It's a golden book. but the cross is black.
Now Our Lady is coming over--She's whispering.
She's bending down, Oh. Oh-h-h! Oh-h-h! Oh, yes! Yes. I'll be ready. Yes.
Oh-h-h! Oh-h! Oh, yes! But--my--my family. Yes. I--yes.
Our Lady said at this time this has to remain confidential,
so I cannot put it into print or on, Our Lady said, the tape. But I've been
given a message. It's quite astounding, but I'm very happy in one way. The
only way I can explain it--I'm very, very happy. I'm very happy. Of course,
it surprises me, but I'm very happy. Thank you, Blessed Mother! But--yes--I
understand, yes. Our Lady says that:
Our Lady--"You will all continue your acts
of sacrifice and penance for the clergy because they will be sorted as sheep
and goats.
"The hierarchy will also be given the same
test. All that is rotten will fall, until the Church and House of God will
be restored to the original plan of the Father."
Veronica--Our Lady says She is very pleased at
the reception and the extent in which Her words have gone throughout the
world, for it is reaching those destined for the Kingdom. But now Her main
concern is that they reach others.
Our Lady--"This work of spreading the Message
must be taken up by all. It must be remembered that satan will fight every
inch of the way, knowing the powers given him by the Father when he was
esteemed as the highest in Heaven. He will use these powers to stop the
work on earth. Therefore, remain in the light with the sacramentals and
all go forth as disciples of Christ."
Veronica--In the name of the Father and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost Amen. Our Lady says to continue with the prayers
of atonement, and when She gives me the sign with Her Rosary, Jesus will
bless all sacramentals with His arrival. Our Lady suggests that I sit down
for a moment.
