Directive from Heaven - No. 158 - America the Beautiful given at to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine at Bayside, New York

#158 - America the Beautiful

"But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the need of redeeming and preserving grace; too proud to pray to the God that made us!" - Abraham Lincoln, proclamation appointing a National Fast Day, March 30, 1863

SAVE AMERICA THE ROSARY WAY
"I am the Queen of the Universe, the Mediatrix of all graces, but first and above all I am your Mother! I have come to warn you, to protect you for many will be lost to us. You all, in the final decision, will have made your own choice. I bless you all, My children, with a shower of graces from Heaven. Come to Me at this hallowed place. Be with Me in spirit. Save America the Rosary way—a constant vigil of prayer!" - Our Lady of the Roses, September 7, 1971

"ACCEPT OUR COUNSEL NOW"
"You see, My children, as long as there is someone praying the Rosary in your country, We will be here to guide you. But accept Our counsel now. Do not wait until it is too late. America the beautiful will fall!" - Our Lady of the Roses, June 18, 1992

HUNGER, REVOLUTION
"Your country, America the beautiful, shall know hunger. Your country, America the beautiful, shall know revolution. The just shall be crucified. Evil shall run rampant, My children. This curse upon mankind is allowed for the redemption of those few who shall be saved. My children, I have warned you through countless visitations upon earth to mend your ways that offend the Eternal Father very much." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 1, 1978

UNLESS...
"The cross, My child, that was placed upon your flag* has full meaning now to you, for your country, America the beautiful, shall fall unless there is now a complete reversal—not a renewal, My child, but a reversal of the ways that have set you into darkness." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 29, 1976

CROSS OF LIGHT
"My Son's hand grows heavy. I cannot hold it back much longer. Your country shall receive the cross, My child! Now you understand, My child the photograph.* The cross to many shall be their salvation. The cross, My child, as you observed upon the photograph was a cross of light, beaming with life." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 15, 1976

STARVED FOR THE LIGHT
"Your country, My children, America, the once beautiful, has become a nation of sin, corruption, vileness—lacking charity, modesty, piety, and lacking the knowledge of God the Father Eternal. Your children—the children of your country and the children of your world—their souls are being starved for the light." - Our Lady of the Roses, August 5, 1975

COMPLETE CAPITULATION
"Your country, America the beautiful, is being prepared now for complete capitulation. Now you know, My children, and now you must act upon this knowledge, or you, too, will feel captivity and slavery and the closing of My houses throughout your country. You have blindly walked right into the trap of enslavement set upon you through devious infiltration of your government, your schools, and your medias of communication.
"Awaken now from your slumber and seek your return from your course of destruction by getting down upon your knees and praying in heartfelt, sincere prayer to the Eternal Father, to guide you back from your present road of destruction.
"Your countrymen have sought to silence the voice of My Mother throughout your world. You will not continue to silence the voice-boxes throughout the world, for you are sowing the seeds of your own destruction!" - Jesus, June 5, 1975

SHALL BE CLEANSED
Our Lady - "Your country, the United States, has fast gone into darkness. America the beautiful shall be cleansed by trial."
Veronica - Our Lady is coming down now and standing next to Michael. She's passed Her hands across Her face. She's very sad.
Our Lady - "My child, My heart is heavy, pierced with a great sorrow at what is to befall your country. My heart is torn for those with the influence who have cast aside My message. They have cared more for worldly acknowledgment and goods, selling their souls to get to the head." - March 18, 1976

SOILED WITH CORRUPTION
"All of the major countries of your world, My children, are preparing for war. All cry peace, peace, and place a mask over their intentions as they prepare for war. Your country, I promise, as I have promised in the past, to give you My protection. America the beautiful has become soiled with corruption. America, once beautiful, has taken on a new leader, and his name is satan. A country that has cast aside a true moral value, a country that has abandoned its God to seek more and more of the material and power over the lives of mankind, this country has sown the seeds for its own destruction." - Our Lady of the Roses, August 5, 1976

HOW MANY LISTENED?
"America the beautiful has fallen to satan. The eagle, the illustrious eagle, has fallen to satan, plucked by sin and corruption from within!
"O My children, I wish, I desire, in My Mother's heart, to bring you a message of great joy; but how can I do this now, for it has become too late! I cautioned you, I begged you, I wandered through many earth-years warning you of this time, but how many listened to My counsel and acted upon it?" - Our Lady of the Roses, September 7, 1977

MEASURE FOR MEASURE
"Measure by measure, America the beautiful shall be purged by trial and suffering for turning away from God. Measure for measure, all countries of the earth shall go through a crucible of trial and suffering for the rejection of their God." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 14, 1977

YEARS OF PLENTITUDE
Veronica - Now Jesus is going over, directly above our flag, the American flag, and He's pointing downward to the flag.
Jesus - "Look, My children, upon a nation, America the beautiful, that has given itself to satan. Look upon a nation that has conspired with the enemy, the enemies of God. Look upon a nation guided by My Mother for years of plentitude on earth, and look upon a nation that shall be chastised through suffering." - July 15, 1975

ONCE BEAUTIFUL-OF-SPIRIT
"Since your perverse generation has chosen of free will to cast aside the warning from Heaven, you will, in diverse places and in your country—the once beautiful-of-spirit United States shall suffer great trial and come to its knees. What was to happen in the future shall be now! Mankind shall now determine the date." - St. Michael, June 8, 1974

FALL OF AN EMPIRE
"A country is known by the moral values, My children. In the history of your world, if you consult and look, My children, you will find that your country and many in your world are now proceeding along the same course taken before the fall of an empire!" - Our Lady of the Roses, February 10, 1976

HOW HAPPY THE DAYS...
"Why do you not listen? And you do not learn by your past! I have come to earth many times in the past, My children, to counsel you when you were in great danger. Some heeded this counsel and were saved; others turned away and were lost.
"O My children, how happy were the days when I could look down from Heaven upon you and find that America was so beautiful—a Christian nation, devout, pious, and following the road as given by the Eternal Father, through My Son and the Holy Spirit of light. And now the light has been darkened." - Our Lady of the Roses, December 24, 1979

MAJOR INSTRUMENT
"The beads of prayer will be the major instrument for the lessening of the Chastisement upon your country. The plan of the Father is for the cleansing. All must go through this crucible of suffering. However, those of well spirit shall have no fear, knowing they are under the protection of My mantle." - Our Lady of the Roses, April 14, 1973

CONSECRATED
"My children, it is only because many years ago you consecrated your country to Me that you have not received the destruction that is gradually coming closer to you from the outside world. But if you turn from Me now I no longer will be able to shield you." [The Blessed Virgin Mary under Her illustrious title of The Immaculate Conception, meaning conceived without original sin, was chosen by the American bishops in 1846 as Patroness of the United States.] - Our Lady of the Roses, July 1, 1971

SIMPLE LESSON
"Learn a simple lesson from the past, My children. When the morals of a country start to go down into darkness, and the teachings turn from God to man, that country will soon be ended. First the spiritual life and then the material life of your country shall be destroyed." - Jesus, October 2, l976

ABORTION
"For that one reason among many, the United States will suffer unless there is placed into your government a group that fears the Lord if they cannot love the Lord. They will fear Him and find measures to stop the slaughter of the unborn." - Our Lady of the Roses, April 14, 1984

MONEYCHANGERS
"My child, you must not have fear at speaking the truth. It is for the salvation of souls and the recovery of your country. America the beautiful must not fall to Communism, My child. America the beautiful shall not be sold into slavery. Cast out the money changers in your government!
"What manner of government is there that condones sin? Abomination upon abomination-giving monies for the murder of children, giving monies for the murder of the elderly!
"Your government, My child, has been infiltrated by men of sin." - Our Lady of the Roses,, September 13, 1975

COAST TO COAST
"I want a string of Rosaries across your land, from coast to coast, a solid chain to keep out the enemy, a solid chain of protection. Unite in prayer to keep out the enemy.
"Realize the power in your hand with the Rosary, for in your hands you hold the power of God." - Our Lady of the Roses, October 6, 1970

ROSARY WILL SAVE COUNTRY
"These [the Rosary] will save your country." - Blessed Jacinta, June 8, 1972

PUBLIC PRAYER
"Your country must bring back public prayer. Your country must make atonement for the offenses being committed against the God, your Lord, the King of Heaven and earth, your Creator." - Our Lady of the Roses, August 21, 1973

POWER OF THE BEAR
"The peace that you seek far eludes you, My child and My children, because of the fact that you do not recognize the power of the Bear. The Bear surrounds you. Those who are with the Bear laugh at you, for they do not seek peace. And you believe, in your purity of heart of many of the leaders—I say this for the United States, which has been always called a great Christian nation; I say this to the United States, because they do not understand the ways and means of an atheist. Behind the Bear are atheists.
"Now the Bear, the great Bear now that has clawed most of the world and nations, those behind the Bear, they know no reasoning for truth. For they believe that whatever happens in the end-their captures, their covering the world with their propaganda, and their eventual destruction of nations to bring them down to their knees—the means of doing this is justified by the ends. In other words, murder or lies, or anything which is in satan's realm—anything to justify their takeover." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 18, 1982

WHAT LIES AHEAD
"My heart cries in pity for what lies ahead for your countrymen who go blindly on their way sowing the seeds for their own destruction." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 30, 1971

"I WARNED YOU IN FATIMA"
"O My children, I warned you many years ago, I warned you in Fatima that, unless you prayed and did penance, Russia and the agents of the sickle and the hammer would go throughout the world cutting down nations and bringing death, destruction, and slavery.
"And you, My country, America the beautiful, you are all-wise but stupid in management, for you have the picture of your coming destruction right before your face and you refuse to look. Like drunkards, you build your hopes on what? Not faith! On man? You think that man shall stop the destruction? No, I say unto you! Because of your fall to immorality, because of your loss of faith and turning from your God, you are allowed to be blinded. You do not even recognize the darkness you are living in, for sin has become a way of life among you." - Our Lady of the Roses, April 2, 1977

BACKGROUND STORY – “The Lourdes of America”

Veronica Lueken, the seer of Bayside, was a wife and mother of five children. She went to her eternal reward on August 3rd, 1995. St. Theresa the Little Flower promised to greet her with a bouquet of red roses when she arrived in heaven.

Our Lady appeared to Veronica in her home on April 7, 1970, informing her that She would appear on the grounds of the old St. Robert Bellarmine Church in Bayside on June 18, 1970; that vigils of prayer be held there (now temporarily held at the Vatican Pavilion Site in Flushing Meadows Park), and that full directions be given to the clergy of the parish to prepare for Our Lady's first visit there.

Our Lady also requested that a Shrine and Basilica be erected on this Her chosen Sacred Site, which is to be named “Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers.” She promised to come on the eve of the great feast days of the Church. The Blessed Mother also instructed Veronica to disseminate the message given to her throughout the whole world.

Our Lady has requested that the Rosary be recited aloud by the crowd during the whole of the Vigil. All are requested to kneel in the presence of Jesus. The Message was repeated word for word by Veronica. Veronica also described what she saw. All has been recorded on audio tape.

"As disciples of the latter days, My children, much shall be asked of you, but I assure you: all that you give in faith and charity shall be returned to you threefold." - Jesus, June 1, 1978
