OUR LADY OF THE ROSES - THE EARLY YEARS
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?
I. THE EARLY YEARS
VERONICA AND THE MISSION FROM HEAVEN (VN1970 tape transcription, p. 36)
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 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, and 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 1970 tape transcription, p. 7)
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)
