Perseverance - Directive #111 - apparitions of Our Lady of the Roses and Jesus to the seer Veronica Lueken in Bayside and Flushing Meadows, New York

#111 - PERSEVERANCE

“But he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved.” - St. Matthew 10:22

PRAY WITH PERSEVERANCE

"No, My child, it is not the will of the Father to go to the park. It is the will of satan, the father of all liars, who will dispense with you by sending you to the park, My children. Be patient; pray with perseverance. The Eternal Father has a plan. Your discomfort, your sufferings, will bring many to the Kingdom of the Father Eternal." - Our Lady, May 17, 1975

NO EASY PASSPORT

"My children, do not sell your souls for your temporary pilgrimage upon earth. Gather the supernatural graces being given from Heaven to you. There is no easy passport into My Kingdom. The way has been given to you. The cross is heavy, but the reward is great for your perseverance and your maintaining your Faith." - Jesus, December 24, 1976

PILGRIMAGE OF SORROW

"My child, We give you great trial in your lifetime. Do not question the ways of the Eternal Father in your anguish, My child. The road to Heaven will always be filled with thorns, for your pilgrimage upon your earth is a pilgrimage of sorrow, trial, requiring perseverance, hope, and faith." - Our Lady, September 14, 1976

SHADOW OF THE CROSS

"My child, you must continue your mission with great perseverance. Many arms have been sent to assist you. I cannot promise you a world rich with the goods of your earth. In fact, My child, I will send you on a mission that will strip you of worldly goods for the sanctification of your soul.

"Whenever graces in abundance are given, there is always the shadow of the cross, My child." - Jesus, November 1, 1975

REMAIN FREE

"You will go forward in the days ahead, My child and My children, with great perseverance. Remain free from all worldly attachments or environments that are detrimental to the mission and your souls." - Our Lady, December 7, 1978

MARTYRDOM

"Our hearts are torn because many have been misled. We ask a great burden for many to accept: a burden of perseverance. And this is a burden when the opposition is great, a burden filled with eventual graces to accept martyrdom upon earth.

"My children, many graces shall be given, and for those who receive these graces much is expected of them. It is a narrow road to Heaven. Many start out but fall away." - Jesus, December 7, 1978

NARROW ROAD

"The road to the Kingdom, My children, is a narrow road. Many seek it but haven't the perseverance nor grace to remain on this narrow road. Once you have left it, My children, you will find it very difficult to return." - Our Lady, February 10, 1975

GREAT OPPOSITION

"My children, you may expect great opposition in the promotion of My Mother's mission. You will go forward with great perseverance and courage. The grace will be given to all to remain steadfast in the truth.

"You may expect to be persecuted as I, too, was allowed by the Father to go through this trial. Know that this battle will rage with great ferocity, but the final outcome will be a triumph for all Heaven. You are being tested, and you will be given great trial. Stand fast in your Faith, keep the truth in your heart, and remain on the narrow path. Cast aside all your human inclinations for worldly gain or recognition. You will be treated and you will be forced to grovel, but do this and you will save souls. They will trample you, but know that the prophets before you had to be trampled before they rose above their persecutors. Your example will save many souls, My children, so continue with the Mission from Heaven." - Jesus, July 25, 1974

IT WILL NOT BE EASY

"To remain with Us will call for perseverance, sacrifice, and prayer. It will not be easy. The way to Heaven has never been easy. More will find themselves martyrs if the darkness grows deeper. You will come to Us as martyrs.

"I have given My Mother the power to hold back the darkness. If you reject the pleas of My Mother, I will not keep My hand from giving you the destruction you so rightly deserve." - Jesus, July 25, 1971

IF YOU SIT BACK . . .

"Many graces will be given from this hallowed land of My Shrine. Your country will go into great darkness, but We will carry the light. Many will light their candles with Me and carry the light. Perseverance, My children! Confidence! We will rescue you; We will not abandon you. You must have perseverance in these trials.

"You must not be apathetic to the situation in your country, My children, for if you sit back you will be removed from your homes in your land. You must organize a solid front--yes, link to link, soul to soul, across your land--a solid Rosary, My children. Prayer and sacrifice: this is not too much to ask of you in face of the reality of what is coming upon you." - Our Lady, November 20, 1971

YOU WILL BE DIRECTED

"You will go forward, My child, with perseverance and trust in the providence of the Father. You will be directed if you do not fall from your prayers. You must make time in your busy schedule for quiet meditation. Make it a habit, My child, to repeat to your brothers and sisters that they must wear the sacramentals given as their armor through the years." - Our Lady, November 23, 1974

THE REWARDS

"Penance, My child, is hard. Sacrifice, My child, is difficult. Ah! The rewards of the Father for perseverance is beyond all that I could show you at this present time. Faith, My child; carry forth your mission for the Father in trust and perseverance. You will be given the strength to complete your mission." - Our Lady, September 13, 1974

BATTLE WILL ACCELERATE

"I have gathered My little armies throughout the world. The battle of the spirits will accelerate, but you will go forward with perseverance and the knowledge that the victory, the final victory, will be with My Son and the Father in the Kingdom of God.

"Visit My Son often. You must eat of His Body and drink of His Blood, so that you will have the strength to resist the evil forces that have now invaded and multiplied upon your earth." - Our Lady, April 6, 1974

"MY OWN WILL KNOW ME"

"We shall rise up among you--My Son has a plan--the latter day saints, the saints of the last days. Our armies, My child, are building up to fight satan. Know that the eventual victory is with Us. With this knowledge, go forward with great hope and perseverance. Accept all of the scorn of the world, all the rejection of mankind; for, My child, My own will know Me." - Our Lady, July 15, 1974

WORKERS

"Workers, My child, are always chosen for their perseverance and fortitude. We cannot at this time keep those that the wind can bend. The winds will become much stronger, My child. Therefore, We had to separate the wheat from the chaff. Only the full kernels may develop into stronger stalks." - Jesus, October 6, 1977

CROWN IN HEAVEN

"I am with you: as your Mother I will guide you through this battle. The final victory will be with My Son, but you will go forward in this battle of the spirits. It is your test of perseverance, sanctity, valor, and if you succeed in passing through this crisis without discarding your faith--as in test many may or will--you will then receive a well-earned and deserved crown in Heaven." - Our Lady, June 18, 1979

NOT WILLING TO SACRIFICE

"Do not be misguided by those who, in the spirit of darkness, take the knowledge of the supernatural from you. Yes, in order, My children, to stay in the light, you will be rejected by many. You will be scorned; you will be called insane, because, I repeat: there is nothing in common between the light and the darkness. As they rejected Me upon your earth, you, too, must go the way of the cross. But carry your cross, My children, with purpose and fortitude. And I assure you, as your God, that the road you follow in the light will be well worth your perseverance. The joys of Heaven are for all, but all do not attain this height, My children, for they are not willing to sacrifice and do penance and to follow the way of the cross." - Jesus, November 1, 1976

GARDEN OF ROSES

"The warning being given to the world by My Mother must be acted upon. You will continue upon your mission of recovery of Our sheep with perseverance and fortitude. You must pray always for the light.

"Your pilgrimage upon earth, My children, will not be without trial. The road is filled with thorns, but at the end of your pilgrimage you will be in a garden of roses." - Jesus, March 22, 1975

FURY OF SATAN

"My child and My children, as you go forward upon the Mission from Heaven, you will experience all the fury of satan. All in the days ahead will be tested as metals in the fire. With every war, there are casualties, My children. The weak will fall away. And so it is now in this war of the spirits that the weak will drop by the wayside. You must all go forward in confidence and perseverance. When self-pride and seeking for human gain enters upon the mission, the seeds will not flower and develop constructively." - Jesus, May 30, 1977

IN COMPARISON

"All of the sufferings you must endure are but short and small crosses, My children, in comparison to everlasting life over the veil. Accept these crosses, carry them for My Son, and He will acknowledge you before the Eternal Father. He will await you with a crown for your perseverance and faith." - Our Lady, April 9, 1977

PUBLIC OPINION

"Do not, My child, concern yourselves, yourself or your brothers and sisters in My mission to reach mankind, do not concern yourselves with public opinion, for you will waste valuable time. Go forward with perseverance, endurance, and fortitude. Go forward and gather Our straying sheep." - Our Lady, June 12, 1976

ONE LITTLE AVE

"My child, I feel your trembling. You must go forward with perseverance and fortitude. Remember Our direction to you. These are human qualities--fear, indecision, doubt, uncertainty--but, My child, when you pray one little Ave, lifting your heart to Heaven, these fears will be dispelled. One little Ave." - Our Lady, October 6, 1974
