#206 - DESPAIR

“Thus saith the Lord: Behold I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: let every man of you return from his evil way, and make ye your ways and your doings good. And they said: We have no hopes: for we will go after our own thoughts, and we will do every one according to the perverseness of his evil heart.” - Jeremias 18:11-12

DO NOT ALLOW
"The cross We allow you to carry will make your work most difficult, My child. Therefore, We guide you to exercise your God-given grace of knowledge and perception. Do not tax the strength left in your earthly body. You will accomplish and finish the task given to you by Heaven. Do not allow satan to fill you with despair. Your mission will be accomplished.” – Our Lady, September 13, 1973

DO NOT GIVE IN
"My child, do not give in to your human feelings of despair. Pray a constant vigilance; close your ears to the discourse of those who will seek to disquiet your spirit. Listen but to the words of the Father. For many who will knock upon your door are of the evil one.” – Our Lady, September 13, 1973

CREATED BY SATAN
"It is truly a battle of the spirits, My children. Wear your sacramentals, your armor. Do not despair, for despair is created by satan. Be of stout heart, for the victory is with Heaven." – Jesus, May 3, 1978

“MY JESUS, MY CONFIDENCE!”
"My children, remember, in the days ahead, for they will be days of great trial and suffering; whenever you feel you despair, you will say, My Jesus, my confidence!” – Jesus, June 4, 1977

“HOW WE LONG …”
"How We long to be able to spread words of cheerful vein, of happiness and joy; but, My children, how can one smile and laugh when the heart is crying?
"Many will be taken out of the world in the conflict ahead. But do not despair, for with your prayers, even these may enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
"Pray, My children; never cease your prayers. For that is the only step to take for the recovery of souls--not only of those you love, but those who have no longer a soul caring enough to pray for them.” – Our Lady, February 11, 1971

DO NOT REMEMBER THOSE THINGS
"Do not remember these things that happen that will drive you to absolute despair in your world. Think over this, My children, and know that things are allowed upon earth by the Eternal Father for a reason, for the eventual good of all. I know you cannot understand this fully, My child, but you will in time. Therefore, when you despair, say:

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins,
Save us from the fires of hell,
Lead all souls to Heaven,
Especially those most in need of Your mercy.

- Our Lady, June 18, 1992

“I PROMISED YOU”
"Do not despair or become discouraged in the battle ahead, My children. I promised you always that I shall be with you. My Son is always with you, but I shall accompany Him as We watch the battle continue, the battle of the spirits.” – Our Lady, July 15, 1978

DISCOURAGEMENT
"Pray, My children, a constant vigilance of prayer. Whenever you feel despair or discouragement, you will say, My Jesus, my confidence. Look upward to Heaven; keep your eyes upon the sky, My children, and search through the darkness for your brothers and sisters that have gone astray." – Jesus, November 19, 1977

ANY DOUBT OR DESPAIR
"The Eternal Father has a plan for the salvation of mankind, My children. Have confidence in My Son. And you, My child, when you are given over to any doubt or despair of heart, you will say, My Jesus, my confidence! My Jesus, my confidence!” – Our Lady, September 28, 1977

“LISTEN TO ME”
"My child and My children of the world, listen to Me carefully, for I have for you a message of great urgency. I weep many tears for what is taking place now upon your earth. In spite of the many warnings and direction I have sent to you in the past, you still continue onto the road of great destruction, despair, and sorrow.
"Unknown to you and many, the leaders of the world's powers are gathering armaments to set them in motion for a great War. The news medias of the people do not carry the truth of this terrible crisis in your world.” – Our Lady, May 23, 1979

USE PRAYER
"You will practice a life of more prayer, My child and My children, vocal prayer and interior prayer. Use prayer, for it causes great despair to Our adversary, satan. He must flee at the sound of prayer.” – Our Lady, August 5, 1975

COMPROMISE
"Compromise will bring you nothing but despair and sorrow. Compromise, My children, will enslave you. Recognize what is happening within your country and many countries of your world. The Bear is plundering now and has plans to plunge forward throughout the world--the Red Bear, My children, known to you as the Red Brown Bear.” – Our Lady, February 10, 1977

MANY HOMES
"We look into many homes, my children, and find discord, disunity, and sorrow, confusion and despair, manners of aberration; the matrimonial bond broken, sin becoming a way of life. The family that will pray together shall stay together.” – St. Joseph, March 18, 1976

POWER OF PRAYER
"My Mother shall remain with you in the days ahead. We are always among you. You will say, when in despair: My Jesus, my confidence! Many prayers have been given to mankind; they are not just lip-service, but must come from the heart. The power of prayer is great.” – Jesus, May 28, 1977

A SHORT TIME
"My children, do not despair, for it will appear that satan has complete control of the world. But know that he is only being given a short time. In this time shall We be able to separate the sheep from the goats. It is truly a battle far greater than any battle that has been set upon mankind. These are the days before the coming of your Lord.” – Our Lady, December 7, 1978

HELL
“Your world is covered with deep darkness. And the wages of sin is death! O My children, many shall die in the body upon earth, but do not cry for the loss of the body, but cry tears of deep anguish for the loss of the soul, for many are falling fast into hell, forever banished from the Kingdom of Heaven into nothingness and despair. The fires of hell, My children, are so fierce in emotion and far beyond what any human mind could comprehend in explanation. Should I show to you, My child and My children, the full forces of hell that are loosed upon your earth, your body could not withstand the torment! You would die immediately in your body, My children.” – Jesus, February 1, 1977

BREAKING POINT
"All who accept the plan I have given with My Son for your salvation, have no fear.
"I have need to instruct you, My child, that you will be subject to great trial. The test will bring you almost to the breaking point. Satan has set many agents to destroy My work, but I shall crush his head.
"You ask, My child, why I permit--why My Son and the Father permit you to stand under such great attack. It is because you are Our champion. All whom We have taken to set as disciples for the work of saving souls throughout the world will be subject to great physical, mental attacks, and even attacks by satan to enter into their spiritual life. You have no need to fear, for as you hold My hand and follow My direction, you will emerge gloriously with the Father.” – Our Lady, December 30, 1972

SIMPLE OF HEART
"Remain simple of heart, trusting as little children in your Faith, for if you seek the answers from scientists, you will find nothing but destruction and despair; for scientists and men of great knowledge are ever seeking but never coming to the truth. They will not recognize the supernatural, because in their darkness of spirit, they no longer know the difference between the physical body and the spiritual soul.” – Jesus, April 2, 1977

CHILDREN OF GRACE
"My children of grace, despair not in your present crisis. Go forward with great hope. Retain the Faith in your hearts, in the hearts of your children. Extend in charity and love this Faith to others. Give, and it will be given to you. Bring the little children to Me. I will nourish them with the light." – Jesus, May 17, 1975

“HOPE FOR THOSE WHO DESPAIR”
Veronica - Now I'm looking over to the right, and I see the figure of a man. He's sitting in a very ornate-looking chair. It's a beautiful chair; it's like a throne. And now above Him there's a great light. And I see the words: "LORD OF LORDS, KING OF KINGS, KING OF THE UNIVERSE, CREATOR OF THE LIVING, RECOVERER OF THE DEAD, RESTORER OF LIFE, HOPE FOR THOSE WHO DESPAIR, REFUGE FOR THE SINNER."
Oh, now I see it's growing very bright. It's--the brightness is covering now the words. They're like disappearing, like smoke from the sky. Now it's growing dark. And I can see, though, the throne. Now upon the throne is the figure of a man. Oh, it's--oh, Our Lady is looking up and pointing.
Our Lady - "My child, none can view the great vision, the beatific vision; none can view this, for it would be that you would be removed from your earthly body. This awaits mankind only over the veil. We send to you only what your human mind can comprehend. Were We to show you, My child, what lies beyond the veil, the beauty, the full encompassment of your emotions would still your earthly heart. This We cannot give to you until you come across the veil.” – April 13, 1974

VALE OF TEARS
"Life upon your earth is but a vale of tears.… I bring you, on this day, a word of gladness. The word of hope that eventually all tribulation will end and My Son will be victorious!" - Our Lady, December 31, 1972

CRYING FOR HOPE
"My children, I hear voices crying for hope. I hear voices crying for a message of peace and hope. My Son is your peace. The Eternal Father in the Trinity is your peace. All of the material gain in the world affords you nothing, My children. You must now change your values." - Our Lady, November 19, 1977

HOPE FOR MANKIND
"There is hope for mankind. My Mother brings you this hope. The warning She gives, She gives to you in love and charity, as only a Mother could express Her love in Her heart to you. Do not cast Her away. Do not turn from Her, but seek and you will be given the way. Believe, and you will understand what My Mother is saying." - Jesus, October 6, 1978

ULTIMATE VICTORY
“This hallowed place will become soon an oasis in a barren land, My children. In time you will understand fully well what I am telling you now.
“Since you have been given this grace to hear My words, you have an obligation now to pass this word to your brothers and sisters. For there will be many tears before the gathering of My Son's House. But one day—keep the hope, My children, in your hearts—yes, one day all will be as beautiful. All will be as the Father had created it to be. This thought, this truth you will keep with you in the days ahead. Remember, My children, one day all will be joy again.” - Our Lady, February 1, 1972
