#74 THE CRUCIFIX
"THE LORD WILL PASS THROUGH striking the Egyptians: and when he shall see the blood on the transom, and on both the posts, he will pass over the door of the house, and not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses and to hurt you. "
-EXODUS 12:23
ALL ENTRANCES
"I must reveal, My children, to the world again, that you
are to keep a crucifix on your front door and your back door. All entrances
to your home must be guarded by the crucifix. There has not been
one home on Long island that had a crucifix on its door that did
fall to any evil [Hurricane Gloria]. " -Jesus, October 5,
1985
GREAT POWER*
"Remember, keep your sacramentals constantly upon you: your
brown Scapular, your St. Benedict medal, the Miraculous Medal,
and also the medal of Our Lady of the Roses. You must keep them
upon you, with a crucifix. We demand a crucifix, because
demons-many of the highest ones in the realms of hell cannot
stand the sight of a crucifix. They will not approach your door.
I give you this knowledge, My children, though it is not common
knowledge upon earth, that the crucifix has great power against
Satan." -Jesus, June 18, 1987

Sacramentals, Directives, No. 9.
WEAR WITH PRIDE
"Wear your crucifix about your neck with pride. Are you
ashamed to make it known that you are with My Son?" -Our
Lady, October 6, 1974
ANY SIZE
"Wear any crucifix that you can find. It does not have to be
big or small, but an image of My Son. " -Our Lady, September
7, 1985
WEAR AT ANY COST
"My child and My children, I have given you-1 should say My
Son and, the Eternal Father have given you your armor. You must
keep about you at all times-at no cost must you remove from your
bodies your crucifix, the St. Benedict medal, and your Scapular.
I say this for reason. " -Our Lady, October 6, 1992
KISSING
Now Our Lady is kissing-very beautiful! Oh, so lovingly-the
crucifix of Her Rosary. Veronica, May 20, 1978
SATANIC CULTS
"They can do nothing, My child, while there is a crucifix
upon your doors. I would suggest also, My child, that you go back
to your previous habit and plan to keep a St. Benedict medal on
each window sill of your home.... Then you will not be tormented at
night by their weird chantings that have kept you awake many
nights. " -Our Lady, November 1, 1985
EARTHQUAKE
"This is called a tribulation what will come upon you next.
It will be of an earth force again. However, with your prayers,
and your guarding of your homes, as We have always told you to,
with the crucifixes, you can escape with little damage, or none at
all. it will be as though the angel of death has passed by your
home." -Jesus, November 1, 1985
COASTLINES
"Those living along the coastlines, We caution them to keep
a sacramental and a crucifix upon their doors, for the angel of death
shall not enter your home." -Jesus, July 1, 1985
CHILDREN'S PLAGUE*
"It will be the death of the children. Tell the parents that
the angel of death will enter their homes. They will try to use human
reason but will not find the cause. " -Our Lady in
locution,- March 22, 1994
*On March 21, 1994
Our Lady appeared to Veronica and said: "You will hear of
the dearth [scarcity; lack] of children. It will be to save their
souls." The importanctbf the crucifixes were particularly
impressed upon Veronica. She understood that the angel of death
would bypass those homes that had the crucifixes on their front
and back door, drawing a parallel with the incident reported in
the Bible. We read that the angel of death smote every first-born
thing in the land of Egypt, man and beast alike except in the
houses of the Israelites who, under the instructions of the
Eternal Father, sprinkled the blood of the lamb on their
cloorpost (Exodus, see above). See also Rose Notes, No. 15,
"Plague to strike children. " -A verbal communication from
Heaven to the ear or directly to the intellect.
CARNAGE
"There will be carnage within your areas, and this will pass
you by if you keep your crucifix upon your doors. " -Jesus,
June 30, 1984
CHASTISING COMET*
There's a large map, and beside it a globe of the world.... I see
islands, and then I see very large waves.... But now on top of the water
there are people floating, and there are pieces of wood, and
there are people, bodies. Oh! Oh! ... As it grows dark, the people
are running in every direction. They don't seem to know where to
run. I see closed doors and people knocking on the doors. The
doors are closed. But the doors now are painted with a large red
cross on the door. The cross, though, the cross is like being
made in blood. The cross on the door is like blood on the door.
The blood of the cross! There are lights, candle lights through
the windows of the doors with the cross.
And I see the people
lying out beyond the doors. They seem to be falling over.
Somewhere in the air, there is something that is cutting off
their breathing, because they're clutching at their throats. And
they're falling forward on their faces.... The explosion-it's
like, almost like a bomb being dropped.... It's a hall. It's a
fiery hall, and it's spinning and going about the globe. -Veronica,
August 14, 1973

Chastisement series, Directives, Nos. 57-62.
SPARED
"All who keep a crucifix on the front and rear door will not
suffer the effects of the Chastisement. " -Our Lady in
locution, February 7, 1994
THE CRUCIFIXION*
I see now Jesus upon the cross! ... His hands with the nails
through His palms, and the skin-like ropes holding onto His wrist,
onto the wood. [Veronica sighs plaintively as though in pain.]
The blood is carrying through the na-a-ail! Ah-h-h! Ah-h-h! His
feet are crossed on the wood, the right foot over the left.
[Veronica sighs heavily again.] There's a big spike through His
instep, through His feet onto the wood. Ah-h-h! [Veronica cries
out in pain.] I can see His arms. Ah-h-h! His arms are straining.
Ah-h-h! -Veronica, September 7, 1979
*Every year during
Lent since 1971, Veronica sees in vision the Passion, the
sufferings of Jesus from the agony in the garden to the
crucifixion. She actually physically feels the crucifixion even
despite the excruciating pain and horror that it entails. See
also The Passion of Christ, Directives, Nos. 66-67.
SPECIAL SHRINE
CRUCIFIX*
"Extend, My child, the crucifix that you recovered in the
church of Saint Robert's. I bless you, My child, and this cross discarded
with sorrow in Our hearts. It will bring immeasurable joy to your
heart. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost. Now, My child, you shall have two crosses, but this one
you will take with you, so you will always be close to My sacred
grounds. Many graces have been given for the return to the
Sacraments of Our wandering sheep. Bless them, My child, on every
occasion with this crucifix. . . . " -Veronica-Our Lady now
is coming very far down to kiss the crucifix. -Our Lady, November
1, 1975
*As directed by Our
Lady, Veronica brings this to every vigil, where the Blessed
Virgin always venerates it with a kiss. During her ecstasy,
Veronica devoutly holds this crucifix to her heart, and later
upon Heaven's instructions uses this wooden crucifix, graced with
the power of cure and conversion, to impart the Immaculate
Conception Blessing upon the infirm and the sick.
PRAYER BEFORE A
CRUCIFIX
Behold, 0 kind and most sweet Jesus,
I cast myself upon my knees in Thy sight,
And with the most fervent desire of my soul I pray and beseech Thee
That Thou wouldst impress upon my heart lively sentiments
of Faith, Hope, and Charity,
With true repentance for my
sins, and a firm desire of amendment,
Whilst with deep affection and
grief of soul I ponder within myself
And mentally contemplate
Thy five most precious wounds,
Having before my eyes that
which David spoke in prophecy of Thee,
0 good Jesus: "They have pierced
my hands and feet;
they have numbered all my bones. "
An indulgence of 10
