OUR LADY OF THE ROSES - THE EARLY YEARS
August 1968 (VN1970 tape transcription, pp. 11-14)
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 (VNI970 tape transcription, pp. 5-7)
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 heartbreaking. 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. 1968 (Veronica 1970 tape transcription, P. 22)
