EXPLANATION OF FRONT COVER PICTURES

Picture #1

On September 14, 1971, a man took a picture of Our Lady's statue with a Polaroid instant camera on the spot, no negative. In eerie supernatural scrawl across the whole face of the picture are these words: Jacinta 1972. You can see different letters and numbers by turning the picture 90° to the right and to the left so the sides are pointing down.

Jacinta 1972 . . .

Our Lady - I ask that the photograph given from Heaven, 'Jacinta 1972', be propagated, made known worldwide; for within this photograph lies the date, the month, the hour, the year, of the coming Chastisement. Search it well, My children: for those who are given the grace will find the answer to the puzzle. 'Jacinta of Fatima - Jacinta 1972.' (10-6-79)

Jesus - The photograph 'Jacinta 1972' was given to mankind as a puzzle for the human race to figure out, and I say and repeat again to you: if not solved in due time I will set the answer upon the world Myself. Jacinta 1972. (5-27-78)

One of the greatest gifts to mankind . . .

Veronica - The world must recognize the importance of the 'Jacinta 1972' picture. Our Lady asked that all read and examine the picture well. It is one of the greatest gifts given to mankind in these latter days, a manifestation from Heaven. All who are in the light will recognize and interpret the photograph 'Jacinta 1972', and they will not be taken unawares." (12-7-78)

The Jacinta 72 photo that Robert F. took on September 14,1971. Jacinta, the child-seer of Fatima appeared to Veronica at a vigil, to confirm that she had written the message on the picture. She wanted to draw attention to the prophecy that she had made before her death concerning the year 1972. The date refers to the year of the takeover of Pope Paul VI's reign by Satan and his agents through faithless members of the Curia. Also, in the wording Jacinta is found the hour, day, month and year of the Chastisement to befall mankind.

Here are some hints:

1.) Picture A. has the month of June in it.

2.) Picture B. has the number 4 in it.

3.) Picture C. has the numbers 1,3,1 and 8 in it. It could be the dates of 13 through 18 which includes 6 days. It could also be 1-3 or January 3rd. It could be 1-18 or January 18th. Perhaps it could be 3-18 for March 18th. The 13th is the anniversary date of Fatima and the 18th is the anniversary date of Garabandal and Bayside.

4.) Picture D. has 3-27-97 or March 27, 1997, which is Holy Thursday in 1997. In the year 1972 take the 97 + 1 = 1998, or 97 + 2 = 1999, or 97 + 1 + 2 = 2000 or etc. Also 666 x 3 = 1998.

5.) Here is a clue. Veronica - The numbers 1 - 7 - 3 -2 appeared in the sky. Our Lady said to count the numbers 1 - 7 - 3 - 2. And to remember 1 and 2 makes 3 in the warning. And the rest my child you will learn from the Father - when the Father finds the time right.

1 and 2 makes 3 is warning. (Our Lady said at present this will remain a puzzle for many - but when the time is right the full answer will be made known to you.) - (Veronica is not permitted to comment any further on the above statement.) (12-31-72)

6.) Clue for the year. Years are stated as 99 = 1999 or 01 = 2001. In the number 1972 the year could be 1 for 01 = 2001 or 2 for 02 = 2002 or 1 + 2 = 3 for 2003.

7.) Another clue to the possible year. There are a lot of sports that begin with a 20 second pre-start countdown; security alarms often have a delay of a 20 second countdown; a lot of science fiction movies, etc., have a 20 second countdown for blastoff of ships; crosswalks are a 20 second countdown to no-walk; news stations have a 20 second countdown to going live. Also, years back, I thought I saw footage of a historical Atlas rocket countdown, and it was 20 second pre-countdown, with the last 10 seconds an audible countdown. The point is, a countdown case also be from 20-0. If so, a 20 countdown from 1982 is 2002.

8.) Clue for time. The time could be in military time such as 800 hours = 8:00am or 1330 hours = 1:30pm. The time zone could be Eastern Standard Time because that is the time zone where the message was given.

Can you find any more letters, numbers or dates?

The date for the Chastisement . . .

Our Lady - "My child, the picture 'Jacinta' must be read now by all of earth's children. You will give them this direction, My child. If it is in the will of the Eternal Father that they be graced to receive the truth, they will observe carefully and examine the photograph miraculous 'Jacinta 1972'. You will read the wording 'Jacinta' and search for lines and figures and numbers. Within the miraculous picture is given the date by God the Father for the chastisement of mankind. All will be conditional to the response of mankind.

"You must well remember the words of My Son to the world in relation to this miraculous picture:

'Consider this picture as a puzzle for the human race to figure out. If not solved in due time, I, Jesus, will set the answer upon the world Myself!' Within this picture, My children, is the date, the month, the year, the hour, of the Chastisement as planned by God the Father." (11-25-78) For more information see this web page: http://www.tldm.org/misc/1972.htm

Picture #2

Veronica in ecstasy, seeing Our Lady during one of the Rosary vigils.

Picture #3

This is one of the most incredible miraculous photos ever taken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine. It was taken at the vigil of May 7, 1976 by Mrs. Ann Ferguson. Using a Polaroid camera, she took a photograph of Our Lady’s Shrine statue. But very mysteriously, the face of Our Lady’s Shrine statue on the right disappears completely in the photograph. And just as mysteriously another statue, with almost real-to-life features of Our Blessed Mother, appears on the left side of the picture. But now, looming between the two statues of Our Lady appears a large reddish-brown head of a bear. What does this bear represent? Russia, communist Russia. Our Lady is calling to mind the messages She gave us at Fatima in which Our Lady told us that if Her requests for prayer, for penance, for amendment of life were not heeded, that Russia would be the scourge of mankind. Indeed, this is exactly what has occurred today upon our earth. You will find today that 3/4 of the world’s population, 2/3 of the land mass, live today under the control and dominion of communism, because Our Lady’s requests at Fatima were not heeded. We must always remember that communism is atheism. It not only wishes to destroy and upset Our Lady’s work today at Bayside, but it also wants to destroy all of Christian societies throughout the whole world. Our Lady at Fatima said: Russia will spread its errors throughout the world, starting wars of persecution against the Church... causing much suffering to the Holy Father in Rome.

Picture #4

Luminous cross appears over the American flag ...

Our Lady Herself explained this picture. A large cemetery-like cross brimming with light appears over the American flag. It represents a heavy cross that will be sent upon the United States. However, with the suffering many will return to the light and save their souls.

Our Lady - My Son's hand grows heavy. I cannot hold it back much longer. Your country shall receive the cross, My child! Now you understand, My child, the photograph. The Cross to many shall be their salvation. The Cross, My child, as you observed upon the photograph was a cross of light, beaming with life. (5-15-76)

Our Lady - The cross, My child, that was placed upon your flag has full meaning now to you, for your country, America the Beautiful, shall fall unless there is now a complete reversal... not a renewal, My child, but a reversal of the ways that have set you into darkness. (5-29-76)

Picture #5

This picture of Comet Hale-Bopp was taken by Cecilia Cuellar of New York at the Bayside Prayer Vigil on March 22, 1997. That was the date of the Comet Hale-Bopp’s closest approach to the Earth. The Rosary is said during the prayer vigils and the Rosary beads appeared in the miraculous picture. On July 25, 1975, Our Lady said; "I repeat, My child, your country shall not escape the destruction of the fires, as you will be planet-struck.

As in the days of Noe, My child, many shall reject the Message from Heaven.

INTRODUCTION

In 1917 the Virgin Mary gave warnings and prophecies to three children in Fatima, Portugal. Many of these prophecies have already occurred with 100% accuracy. At Bayside, New York, Mother Mary, under the title Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers, explained in great detail the Fatima prophecies and the soon coming events upon mankind.

Veronica Lueken, the seer of Bayside, was a wife and mother of five children. She lived on Long Island, New York. The story of her heavenly visitations goes back to the year 1968 when St. Theresa began appearing to her and dictating sacred poem-messages. St. Theresa prepared Veronica for the first heavenly visitation of Our Lady in 1970. Before this Veronica had not received any manifestations from Heaven.

Our Lady Herself appeared to Veronica in her home on April 7, 1970, informing her that She would appear on the grounds of the old St. Robert Bellarmine Church in Bayside on June 18, 1970. Our Lady said there will be a miraculous spring and Our Lady will appear over the old church building and then the Bishop cannot deny Her appearances. It will be called the Lourdes of America.

Our Lady asked that vigils of prayer be held there (now temporarily held at the Vatican Pavilion site in Flushing), and that full directions be given to the clergy of the parish to prepare for Our Lady's first visit there. Our Lady also requested that a Shrine and Basilica be erected on this Her chosen Sacred Site, which is to be named Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers. She promised to come on the eve of the great feast days of the Church, which dates would be given to Veronica to disseminate the messages given to her throughout the whole world. Our Lord and Our Lady promised to continue to come to the prayer vigils until the Second Coming.

Our Lady requested that the Rosary be recited aloud by the crowd during the whole of the Vigil. All are requested to kneel in the presence of Jesus. Veronica described what she saw and repeated the Messages word for word and all was recorded on an audio tape. The tapes were later transcribed and sent around the world.

This book will give you great wisdom and comfort in a troubled world. With these new prophecies you will discover how to prepare your family and loved ones for the days just ahead. You will be free from the anxiety and worry of the things to come. This is the second most important book you could read, along with the Holy Bible, in these last days before that glorious day when Jesus returns to the earth.

You will discover a new peace and serenity in this troubled world. You will see how much the Virgin Mary and Jesus love you. Most of all you will discover how to protect yourself from the great misfortunes coming in the near future.

These Bayside Prophecies come directly from the Eternal Father in Heaven. He is telling what is going to happen in North America and the world. In the Bible we learn God always warns a nation or a people before He chastises them.

In Genesis, Chapter 3, verse 15 God tells the serpent: I will put enmities between thee (satan) and the woman (Mary), and thy seed (demons and condemned souls) and her seed (Jesus): she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. God was saying that Mary, under the direction of the Holy Trinity, would lead the fight against the devil until She would crush his head, his rule, and he, the snake, satan would lie in wait knowing the plan.

The Eternal Father sends the humble Virgin Mary to guide and save us from the forces of evil in the momentous days ahead. The Saints longed to live in these days and witness the many great miracles to come. We are seeing Bible Prophecies happening that were written approximately 2,000 years ago.

Also, there are some order forms for sacramentals and more materials on the Bayside Prophecies.

Consider this a great blessing that God has placed this book in your hands. Call upon the Holy Ghost to enlighten you as you go through this book. Prayerfully read it and discover the great wisdom, knowledge, grace, and peace it will bring to you.

THE EARLY YEARS

This is a collection of writings and audio tape recordings of events before and during the early years of the apparitions of Our Lady of the Roses to Veronica Lueken.

In the beginning with Saint Theresa

The following is a brief account of Veronica's private revelations from Heaven in her own words given on November 10, 1971. Veronica, a mother of five children, had never before received any manifestations from Heaven until June 6, 1968, when the strange fragrance of roses and a beautiful perfume was evident on that day of June 6 as she prayed the Rosary for Bobby Kennedy, prior to his death from assassination. Veronica consulted Father Sullivan, as she was most disturbed by these occurrences. Father assured her that there was no need to be disturbed, as she was just to pray, and Heaven does work in mysterious ways. Two days later Veronica was awakened during the night by a 'voice' (inner sound that impinges on the intellect, not sound of ear) that said, 'Veronica, I want you to write. Get out of bed. You must write what I tell you.' Veronica arose, much frightened, and Veronica's husband also awakened and watched as Veronica asked him for a pencil. The seer's husband said it looked like she was in a dazed trance or something. She wrote and wrote, and then retired. The next morning a very shocked husband and an amazed Veronica reread the notes to find this:

A minor miracle: Bobby and Theresa

A delicate petal scented by Heaven

Fell from her bower of roses

As her hand led the way

Up the path on that day

That Bobby kissed Mary and Moses.

Veronica remembered the voice saying at that time: "You must never honor a human being without honoring the Mother of God first. Write this:

To a miraculous Mother

Blessed Mother be my guide.

Be here always by my side.

Take me through this world of sorrow,

Show me there's a bright tomorrow."

Later, Veronica was to learn that this unknown voice dictating to her was Saint Theresa, the Little Flower.

After this, many prodigies and manifestations took place while Veronica wrote under the direction of Theresa, and then our Blessed Mother, Who then appeared to her. Our Lady also appeared to a neighbor, Grace Pera, with Veronica on May 19, 1970.

On April 7, 1970, Our Lady said She would come to the site of the old Saint Robert's Church, as She wanted a Shrine there, to be called Our Lady of the Roses, Mary, Help of Mothers. Full directions were given for construction, etc. Directives were to be given to the clergy of St. Robert's to prepare for the first visit of Our Lady to the Shrine on June 18, 1970.

From the date of the first apparition and message, miraculous photos, Rosaries turning from silver to gold in color, followed by cures and conversions, took place. Our Lady directed a medal to be cast, a miraculous medal of Our Lady of the Roses.

For the Church

In one year Our Lady's messages have been made known in America, Europe, South America, Canada, Central America, Asia--and all in the plan of Heaven.

We need all who care, who love, to join in the spreading of our Mother's and Jesus' words. Time is of the essence. We must save all souls.

Heaven will bless in abundance those who will reach out to rescue their brothers and sisters from Lucifer, satan, the ruler of the darkness.

Our Lady carries the light. Won't you light your candle?

Veronica and the Mission from Heaven

Veronica--Many people have asked me how I felt about being given this mission from Heaven. Well in all honesty and sincerity, I must say I was quite flabbergasted. After all, I mean--I would never, if someone had told me and...[words unclear], that an experience like this or any consideration from Heaven would be mine. I would have laughed. Because I'm certainly not worthy of any consideration from Heaven. Being the lowest and the worst of souls I really can honestly say that I can't understand why Heaven would choose me of all people. Since I'm really absolutely nothing, like I have no religious vocation. And not being a child, I don't have the innocence of a child. But I guess Heaven has some reason, not only...[words unclear] that I can--have fulfilled this mission to the best of my ability. I don't have anything really to qualify me for this type of mission. The only thing I could be guided by is love. The love that Theresa taught me in the last two years, because prior to Theresa's coming, I knew what word, the word love was as defined in our earthly way, by dictionaries and personal experience, but I didn't realize to what great heights when you really understood love, a heavenly type of love.

For the Church

Veronica--...everything that I'm telling you now is in writing with dates, that if only one who cares to see, to understand, would read it. And like Theresa said, after--this is all for the Church, after I leave this is all for the Church, and uh, that's the mission from Heaven.

1. Veronica smells roses for first time

"On June 5th, 1968, while listening to the radio, Veronica was distraught upon hearing the news that Senator Robert F. Kennedy had just been shot. Veronica was moved to compassion.... While driving her husband to work at a construction site in Flushing, Queens, New York, Veronica listened to the news reports and joined the prayer sessions being conducted for the dying Senator. In her heart she felt that Bobby would be miraculously restored through the many prayers being offered.

The thought suddenly came to her mind to invoke Saint Theresa, a saint she had only heard about in her childhood.... Veronica explains in her own words what then transpired: 'Though he was very ill, I knew that with enough prayers he could recover miraculously. Suddenly, I was most startled to have this heavy fragrance of roses come towards me. At one point it seemed like there was a petal almost under my nose. Oh, it was beautiful! It wasn't as though I was smelling one flower--it was like walking through a flower shop!' (Occulations from Heaven, p. 3)

2. Veronica smells roses for second time - Veronica's First Vision

Later that same afternoon, Veronica drove her father to the hospital for his regular medical check-up. While waiting for her father to complete his examination with the doctor, she began to pray the Rosary for Bobby again. No sooner had the first Hail Mary escaped her lips that the peculiar fragrance of roses mysteriously presented itself again. You can well imagine the strong odor of roses amidst the antiseptic atmosphere of a hospital. Veronica then felt a little frightened--smelling roses when there were no roses! Again she brushed aside the matter. (Occulations from Heaven, p. 3)

3. She smells roses for third time:

The miraculous scent of roses came over her again a third time while viewing the funeral service for the Senator on television. 'I slipped out onto the porch, and I was looking up to Heaven', Veronica said. 'I started to say Hail Mary, asking for the intervention of Our Lady for his soul. Well, the same thing happened again--this fragrance of roses started to come over me. However, this time I was frightened. I said, 'Oh, please, not again!' and instantly it was gone. Veronica then returned into the house.

4. Letter floats across living room:

On August 4, 1968, at about 5:30 a.m., Veronica was in the living room making preparations for the early morning Mass. Suddenly this framed letter went floating across the living room, as though propelled by an unseen, unknown force, and crashed with a loud noise at Veronica's feet. This turned out to be a little much. Veronica hastily sped to Saint Robert's again. This time she spoke to four priests who were, gathered in a room at that particular moment. (Occulations from Heaven, p. 5)

5. I am the Almighty:

So Veronica went home, opened the Bible at random, and looked at the left-hand page. 'Oh, my heavens!' she exclaimed. A bright light appeared and blotted out everything but what she was to read. It was Job 27, and it said: 'I am the Almighty. I will teach by the hand of God what the Almighty has in store.' Veronica then began to understand. (Occulations from Heaven, p. 5)

6. Veronica and St. Theresa:

"Returning to Veronica's experience of the explosion, when she was hit by that tremendous force in the face, St. Theresa entered into her in spirit. For three days Theresa lived in her dictating through her many messages, keeping her awake for three days and three nights approximately. Only after the dictation was finished did Veronica retire to rest. The next morning she was awakened by a force, like a pulling at her, pulling out of her and floating away. It was as if she was losing her very own self! It was a most heartrending experience as she had become so attached to Theresa. Theresa was leaving, and Veronica, to her great chagrin, knew this. Veronica was consoled, however, when St. Theresa appeared to her again a few weeks later.

St. Theresa using Veronica's body is not in any way related to the false theories of reincarnation; rather St. Theresa was placed inside of Veronica as part of a special mission from God the Father. (Occulations from Heaven, p. 7)

August 1968: Veronica's first vision

Veronica--While we are in the area of discussing figures from Heaven, at this time I would like to briefly go back to the date of August 1968, when I saw my first vision. I was walking down Springfield Blvd. and I just chanced to look up into the sky, when before my startled eyes there appeared this large iron cross. Through the years, the last year I found that cross quite by accident in a bible of a neighbor. And it was...[words unclear] as a reliquary cross in Rome.

But anyway, as I looked at this cross, there appeared in the center of this, the upper part of a chalice, just the cup....[words unclear] So, the cup disappeared and in its place, in the center there was Jesus, I could see just His face down to the area and above the chest like--where His chin area was. And oh! I saw Him as living as you--I would be looking face to face with you or I. And I do remember His face so vividly--I will never forget it. He has a beautiful face for a man, not just because He is God, but the beauty on His face--there was no hardness, no anger, none of these earthly feelings that we find on the faces of those around us. But He has a face just radiating love and emotion. Oh, He must be very sensitive to what's going on here on the earth now, because as I watched He looked to the side to His right and sort of downward. And the expression on His face was so heartbreaking. Oh, the only way you could explain it, was He was saying, I can't believe it, I can't believe it.

I did notice that His hair was very dark and long, and in fact I really can't be sure how I ever got up so close to Him. But at one point I was so close as though He was kissing me on the forehead and I could see where the stubble, the black stubble was growing into His skin. And then I noticed too, that He had this beautiful white light--seems to come out from under His skin, just like St. Theresa did. And this light as it grew brighter--it seemed to obliterate everything but His eyes, so that you couldn't really distinctly explain to anyone the shape of Our Lord's nose or His mouth as with Theresa unless you had seen a picture of Theresa. After the vision, because the light seemed to obliterate everything but the eyes, and that always makes me feel that the eyes are a mirror of the soul.

Well when I first saw Jesus, it surprised me that the first thing that entered my mind was I said to myself, Oh, He looks so young to be God! I don't know what I expected to--you know somebody looking like a prophet, but He was very handsome. Then, also, I noticed He had something on His head that was quite different in what we see on the statues or in pictures of Jesus' crown. Now I would assume, then what I saw perhaps the thorns were underneath His basket weave up there...[words unclear] He had on His head. It was a very heavy more like a cap and it was like rolled in wood, sort of a reddish brown wood, but it covered His whole head even to the back down to His--back of His neck and down to His eyebrows. It looks so big and heavy.

Well then I was forced to look to the right and I saw this figure of what I thought was this young boy at first, a very slim tiny figure, but then I noticed it was a woman because when the person turned to the left I could see Her hips and the way Her gown--dress was very high with a belt on the top--that She was wearing a--like a scarf or--like this mantle over Her head which looked to me white from where I was standing. But She also had that very, oh that, that anguished appearance of Her chin....[words unclear] hanging down on Her chest in terrible sorrow, but She disappeared and I could see Her as a very tiny figure way off in the distance on a hillside looking down, but in terrible sorrow again. Well then She disappeared and in Her place so life-like, the clearest picture of the whole vision was this bald white eagle. Its feathers were so beautiful and white and it was peacefully sitting there. I guess in the west, I would say. And then, I looked over to the east in area, the other side of eagle, like say the eagle's right side, and oh my goodness there I was almost frightened to death because there was a figure there, like something from the children's Mad magazine. Oh, it was a monster but then as I watched this grotesque looking glob of whatever it was--monstrous being, I noticed it turned into an owl with two huge outside eyes, and the eyes were staring over at the eagle. And that was the end of the vision.

August 1968: Invasion of Czechoslovakia

Veronica--Everything I'm telling you is written down, with dates, you can check that, I'm only going from my memory, trying to remember, but anyway, it was back in, I think it was September, 1968 [note: Veronica had this vision before September 1968], I was walking down Springfield Avenue, and if I recollect rightly, it was a Monday morning. And, oh, was I frightened! There in the sky, you know, as I looked up, there appeared-- the whole sky was covered by a black eagle. A black eagle! It covered the whole sky. That I wouldn't mind, but then this voice screamed at me, Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth. So I was frightened. I ran into Landsdon's, the five and ten. I called my husband. He told me, Well, don't get upset. Go on home and relax.

Well I got home and instead I got on the telephone. I wired Cardinal Cushing: Cardinal Cushing please listen to me. I know you, you don't believe anything I tell you but listen to Theresa, not me, or someone. I saw a black eagle, and there's going to be a war some place, and you've got to DO something! Well, instead, no one listened, and I also called Saint Robert's parish. See, all these two years I've been telling all these things, and nobody ever listens to me. So, finally the next day--I believe it was a Tuesday, if I remember rightly--Czechoslovakia was invaded.' And I knew exactly what was happening, but nobody cared....

* New York Times, Wednesday, August 21, 1968, p.1, CZECHOSLOVAIGA INVADED BY RUSSIANS AND FOUR OTHER WARSAW PACT FORCES; THEY OPEN FIRE ON CROWDS IN PRAGUE:

"PRAGUE, Wednesday, Aug. 21-- Czechoslovakia was occupied early today by troops of the Soviet Union and four of its Warsaw Pact allies in a series of swift land and air movements.

"Airborne Soviet troops and paratroopers surrounded the building of the Communist Party Central Committee, along with five tanks. At least 25 tanks were seen in the city.

"[Soviet troops began shooting at Czechoslovak demonstrators outside the Prague radio building at 7:25 A.M., Reuters reported. C.T.K, the Czechoslovak press agency, was quoted by United Press International as having said that citizens were throwing themselves in front of the tanks in an attempt to block the seizure of the city.]

The Soviet move caught Czechoslovaks by surprise, although all day yesterday there were indications of new tensions.

August 1968: Look up to the sky - The sun spinning

Veronica -...but I do want everyone to know that nothing is impossible with Heaven, and at any time Our Lord has a plan, this plan is beyond any means of any human to stop. Oh, with satan's promptings through interference, and martyrdom, but actually whatever Our Lord plans will go forward. Though the road will be filled with thorns.

And thinking of Our Lord's graces to those He chooses to distribute these graces on, even the most unworthy of souls like myself, I can't help but remember the time, the August 1968, when even I was skeptical, and wondering whether if I should go along with my neighbors and friends and family, who at the time hadn't received the grace, the light from Heaven, to understand what was going on, and they thought that I was just plain crazy, you know, that I had flipped, in the modern way of putting it. Well, after all, in the beginning before I was given the full grace of understanding yourself with everyone else telling you that you were crazy, you begin to wonder that how can you stand alone and with everyone telling you, it surely takes investigation on your part.

So, that afternoon in August, I was walking down the street to the stores, and I was thinking of this when St. Theresa said to me, So you still doubt and must have physical proof. Well, of course, I didn't want Heaven to think that it was always necessary to always give me signs, because that would show a awful lack of faith on my part, and I didn't want to offend Heaven or my Family in any way. But I guess that They felt that this small soul needed strengthening, so Theresa said to me, Look up to the sky! Well, it was 10 o'clock, and the sun was really brilliant and burning but it was white, a really white-hot sun, so I says, Oh, I can't look up, it was hurting my eyes. So Theresa said, Keep watching, well, I did, I kept watching and ohhh! All of a sudden, instead of a white-hot sun the sun turned a deep gray so it was like shading my eyes, and then as I watched the sun came out of the sky, forward! It was like watching [a] three-dimensional movie or something! But it came out of the sky, and then it starting to spin like a top, but a trillion miles an hour!! Oh did it spin so fast! Now I wasn't frightened of that, because by that time I had been quite used to these wonderful phenomena's from Heaven, and I watched this, and all of sudden around the outside there formed this border, this red border oh, about two inches wide, oh it was just beautiful! All around this gray top- like spinning sun.

Well, then after a while, I don't know how many moments it lasted, I saw the sun then go right back to where it started, back into the area of the sky, and then returned to its normal white burning state. So I just sure wasn't actually convinced by what I saw, and I was thinking of what the neighbors were thinking. Well, this could just be an optical illusion from the sun, and my staring into the sun, so I thought I would try looking from under a tree, so I ran over to the tree in front of me, and I started poking out from behind the leaves--there was good shading over my eyes-- and I noticed that the sun was still white-hot and I said, 'I was right. It was just an illusion.' But then the voice of Theresa said to me, Aha! Just keep watching! So I did, and oh my goodness! There again the sun came out of the sky and down towards me--I would say about half-ways from between me and where it came from--and it had turned this deep gray again and started to spin like a top. Well, I said, that was beautiful! But then I noticed that that red line was missing, so I says, Well, I see that, but it's not like it was before, where there was a red line around it. Well, as I said that, from within the spinning sun itself came outward, right from the very edge, this two--about two-inch border, of this beautiful red, crimson coloring. And then I watched as the whole unit, with the coloring, started to go back into the sky and return to its normal, white state.

Well, I went home so exhilarated and so wonderfully in love with all Heaven for showering such a grace upon me, that there is no way in explaining in the words the happiness that I felt, because I didn't know that anyone in Heaven could care so much for such an undeserving person as myself here on earth. So it only proves that if we open our hearts to Heaven, there isn't anything Our Father wouldn't do for His children, because He does love us so.

August 1968 - The priceless emotion of love

Veronica--Now Our Lady and Theresa have often told me, not to try to understand what's given to me, but just pass it on. But being human I sometimes try to figure things out, that's one of my human weaknesses. And oh, I...[words unclear] don't--I do hope that--appears to be-- doesn't actually be a reality that the bald white eagle is the United States, and that there's some kind of a monster watching it, with eyes in from the east. But that remains to be seen.

September 4, 1968

Veronica--On September the 4th, in 1968, Theresa...[words unclear] most important, that we give this message to the world, that our dear souls here on earth must realize the existence of two forces, the good moment, never has satan been so unleashed upon souls and his agents are coming from the abyss in full...[words unclear] swing. It is only through prayer and our faith and our full trust in Our Father in Heaven that we can avoid these agents and their devious methods, they're dragging us into the abyss with them.

Now this writing was called His satanic majesty: ...[words unclear] with a choice of free will, will make us a disciple in the final choice of eternal goal. For there are among us oddly...[words unclear] for two majesties, God and Lucifer. In His love Our Lord Jesus wants us to follow our hearts to Him, not through cajolery of buying our affection through material things, but the priceless emotion of love, must be given freely, because we want to and not because we have to. Fear never begets love. What has Lucifer to offer...[words unclear] not God he must...[words unclear] be with cajolery...[words unclear] with material pleasures and diversions...[words unclear] crying his way to us, live for today forget God, live now, lie, cheat, steal. Who can see us...[words unclear] you want money and all the things this paper god...[words unclear] can buy. Friendship as long as the money lasts is always so little until friends get together. There is only point of saturation then, death of the body, de-idolize the body, pamper it with costly perfume, lotion, cremes, clothes all ... [words unclear] to make us attractive to one another. But how do we look in the eyes of God? He sees no trimmings, only the bare soul. Will this be a beautiful gift to Him, or a repugnance to have Him banished from His sight and too heart- breaking.

Satan has his envoys. Oh, there are many who he works through--people, places, things. All ... [words unclear] to take, to turn the faithful from ... [words unclear] Heaven, would carry our souls to or away from Jesus. Which path are you traveling? One is easy the other ... [words unclear] sacrifice and purpose. What purpose can satan offer--eternal life in the furnace, damnation, anguish, sorrow, fear, Hell. So you say there is Hell on earth. Are you in a constant state of burning. Don't ... [words unclear] you use science and pleasure to ease your pain. In Hell there will be no doctors to help. There will be--only the laughter of Lucifer as he ... [words unclear] extols his conquest before the dear Lord. His tears fall but cannot extinguish the flames of Hell. Our Lord will cry the heartbreak of a loving parent who has lost a child. Here on earth are years are numbered--a temporary home of 50, 60, 70 years more or less.

The life hereafter is eternal, there is no measure of time in eternity. It will then, now, and hereafter. This will be our new life eternal. Only those with the good hearts of children of pure love for goodness may enter the Kingdom of God. Better ... [words unclear] to serve a short or long duration of waiting for admission in a temporary limbo.... [words unclear]. Of course we'll be more patient on the shores of the heavenly Kingdom where Peter examines our passports and we'll be in quarantine for the time needed to make well our sick souls. Once the stigma of sin has been healed by our waiting penance, that is the anguish of reaching out, but Our Lord will be just beyond our reach. Then, we will be taken to the gates of paradise by a heavenly guide. Heaven offers happiness beyond all human ... [words unclear] words to describe, of goodness that encompasses all human and spiritual emotions. Hell has no goodness to offer, a placing in the hands of a cruel master, another form for satan to torture with delight, another consort from a grieving Father. He will laugh at the trickery and devious methods he used to . . . [words unclear] you to the entreaties of God. God needed no trickery or false illusions or things material. He just gave His Heart and the blessed Truth. Although ... [words unclear] many prefer to throw away ... [words unclear] subversion.

Our Lord has His envoys, His Holy Church and teachers. There is salvation all around us, if we open our eyes to the truth. Satan has many helpers who work at his underground church, idle ... [words unclear] to pleasure and body worship. There are many disguises ... [words unclear] to cover the real purpose of soul destruction. Ask God to protect you and those you love against the blandishment of the devil's disciples ...[words unclear] our eyes and hearts to the truth.

Love is the essence of the odeur of divinity

Veronica--... this is what was told me what would happen, uh, Our Lady said that scientists and professional men would try to explain this as a physical phenomenon, because they are unwilling to admit this inadequacy to understand the difference between the physical body and the spiritual soul.

January 10, 1969

Veronica--On January the 10th, 1969, Theresa gave me a message for the world: "Love is the essence of the odeur of divinity. Love surmounts all obstacles, a beacon to guide by to Jesus.'

Veronica--... keep the light of love burning, guide each soul to the eternal flame, to be consumed in the glorious warmth of the hearts of our blessed Family in Heaven.

Veronica-- ... the 11th, 1969, Theresa to Veronica (I'm reading from the notes here): I saw in the eastern sky an immense dragon with fiery nostrils chasing a poor camel in a northward direction. (Is this Egypt?)

Once there was Paradise

Veronica--... the 1lth, 1969: Life is a stream. The current flows faster and faster, while we battle to keep our heads above the angry surfaces ... [words unclear] anxiety, all ... [words unclear] to the ascent to the true trust, let us ... [words unclear] let our heavenly friends show us how to keep our heads above water in a world of rising tides, to guide our struggling masses to the shore, to find peace in the waiting arms of the Immaculate Mother of Grace, Mary, our Mother.

May 14, 1969

Veronica--This message was given to me on May the 14th, 1969: We must subjugate the body to a state of subservience to the soul, for this shell must be an asset to its main body, spiritual, the soul. Our human body must guard the spiritual soul from contamination. Living on earth is but a temporary exile of purification.

Veronica--In May of 1969, Theresa directed me to write Once There Was Paradise. This explains in the moral form, and makes it most understandable to humans, the existence of the Blessed Trinity, the three Persons in one God.

In the distant heavens, there lived a most loving Spirit. First there was God, a God of love. Knowing love must be shared to be the fullest joy, He sort of subdivided Himself into a Family. For once even a spirit must share life eternal to reach the fullest degree of peace and joy. For love is in giving. He gave Himself to beget a Son and Holy Spirit. Even friendship exists between spirits, for our Father placed the angels to be a heavenly world, the light of love reflected from the Father, giving them all light sublime. Being so sensitive, He wanted this love to be given freely, not under obligation, so His angels and heavenly spirits were given a free will. Our Father's love outshone the darkness of disobedience. But the darkness soon reached the light, for Luciel, the most beloved of the angels, chose to forget this love of his Father and seek to covet the crown of authority. Our Father cried, the Trinity cried, and Michael fought for those who loved and shooed the fallen angels out to wander, the most despised of beings, living in the fires enkindled with [their?] evil desires.

Heart-saddened over His loss, our Father sought to ease the pain of this loss by creating more family and calling him man. Placed in another land called earth, the loving heart of our Father knew the loss of loneliness and gave His earthly child a companion, Eve. All was paradise, a joy to our heavenly Father. But unknown to Him and His trusting heart was a snake in the grass starting to wreck His Heaven on earth. A devious plan took form. It was the battle of majesty between good and evil. All-trusting Blessed Father has ... [words unclear] to trusting Lucifer, who was that snake in the grass, that His new children would forever be faithful and true, not prey to the blandishments to a fallen angel. Lucifer whispered to Eve to eat of the tree of life [knowledge] placed in the garden by the Blessed Father. This tree was a monument to the very weaknesses that got Lucifer kicked out of Heaven, a warning for watchfulness: avoid the fruits of this tree that would be so appealing to the body, but would sicken and kill the soul.

Lucifer was really puffed up with his own importance and figured that here were candidates for establishing his own kingdom. Not Heaven on earth, but hell on earth! So many things beautiful to the eye have been man's downfall, and forbidden fruit the most tempting. The serpent's ... [words unclear] whispered on Eve proved the adage out of sight, out of mind. Finding the deed more joyful than the awaited punishment that might lie ahead, since the wrath of our Father had not as yet descended, Adam would just have to share this newfound delight. With Lucifer's glib tongue, the delight grew sweeter by the moment. Using the oldest of feminine wiles, plus a few new tricks thrown in by the most obliging Lucifer, Adam was a cooked, literally, pigeon.

No longer could our Father spare the children the sorrows of the tree of life [knowledge], for they were now with a free will
