Pride - Directive #107 - apparitions of Our Lady of the Roses and Jesus to the seer Veronica Lueken in Bayside and Flushing Meadows, New York

#107 - PRIDE

“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who didst rise in the morning?” - Isaias 14:12

DIVEST YOURSELF

"In order to reach the Kingdom of the Father, you must divest yourself, remove all pride and worldly searching. You must become as confident, as trusting as a child. Know that all is yours for the asking. Believe and you will be given the way." - Our Lady, March 29, 1975

MORE FORMIDABLE BARRIER

"Pray, My children, for your governments, your government leaders; and pray always for your clergy, for many have become weak and have given themselves over to material gain, and also a lust for power through pride. Pride is truly a more formidable barrier against holiness and piety than even outright licentiousness. Pride is a sin, and shall keep many from entering into the Kingdom of Heaven." - Our Lady, November 24, 1979

FREE SPIRIT

"My children, you cannot now slacken in the pace of your work for Heaven. The mission must be continued. Many will come and many will go; many seeds fall away as the plant is flowering.

"My children, I have warned you often that when you are of heart to do the work of the Mission from Heaven, you must not fall to pride and avarice. Your heart must be open to all. My Message from Heaven is free to free spirits. No man shall set himself to enslave others to do his will and command. Man must be a free spirit." - Our Lady, June 4, 1977

GREATEST SIN

"The forces of evil loosed upon your world gathered to try to stop the good work from Heaven. My child, it is a lesson for all that vanity and pride comes before the fall. You understand, My children, that man has a free will and is allowed to exercise it. And the greatest sin among man is pride. The angels in Heaven that joined Lucifer, satan, were cast out of Heaven as they became arrogant and sought to be God." - Jesus, June 4, 1977

FATIMA & LA SALETTE

"My children, why did you avoid giving My counsel to the world? O you of little faith in the high places of My Son's House, His Church, why did you not give My message to the world as I gave it to you? Pride and arrogance! That is why, My children."

"I counseled you in My visitation to the children at LaSalette that unless you pray, satan shall enter into the Holy City of Rome, and satan shall set himself beside My Son's altar! Who cared to listen to My counsel? Pride! Man filled with pride. Pride is a major sin in the hearts of man. And pride always came before the fall!

"I counseled you at Fatima, and who gave My counsel to the world? Pride and arrogance anew! A secret was to be revealed, and who counseled and prepared the world for the onslaught of satan into My Son's House? No one!"

- Our Lady, December 31, 1977

DELUSION

"Recognize, My pastors, the signs of your times. You have fallen asleep. Delusion has been set upon you because of pride and arrogance. O Our sleeping pastors, you have fallen into error because of pride and arrogance." - Our Lady, September 28, 1976

HAS CAST MANY FROM THE ROAD

"In your world which has been given over to satan by mankind, it is the little ones, those with the hearts of children, that We have chosen to come to. Pride, intellectual pride, has cast many from the road. Woe to those who seek to destroy the Faith given to them with their pride and arrogance!" - Our Lady, October 6, 1974

LUCIFER

"Pride, My child, must never enter upon you or your work, for pride is a great sin in the eyes of the Eternal Father. It was pride that sent Luciel, Lucifer, from the Kingdom." - Our Lady, March 18, 1975

SADLY AWAKENED

"Your world is now in anguish; your world is in deep darkness of the spirit. I have been given this time, My children, to bring you a stern Message from Heaven. Because of your great abominations, because of your pride and disobedience, because of your turning from your Maker, the Creator of Heaven and of earth, there will be sent upon the world, your world, a sword of great magnitude.

"The scoffers have turned their backs upon the truth. Those who ridicule the Message from Heaven will find themselves sadly awakened in the near future." - Our Lady, July 1, 1974

EVERY REBUKE A ROSE

"It will take those of strong will and strong spirit to knock upon the doors and receive rebuke. But every rebuke shall be a rose. It is only your personal pride, your human frailty that will make you susceptible to hurt. You must understand, My children, that My Son and those I housed with Me in the beginning were on foot, and on foot now you must be." - Our Lady, September 28 1978

CLOSED THEIR EARS

"My voice is carried throughout your world, and many have hardened their hearts and closed their ears. And why? Because pride and arrogance have blinded them to the truth. Only prayer, penance, and atonement can bring them back." - Our Lady, December 28, 1976

REMEMBER

"Remember: do not become prideful, nor arrogant, nor be-let your guard down in conceit, for pride is a sin. Remember always that the closer you approach to Heaven, the greater the armies of Lucifer will come after you seeking to take you away from the road, the narrow road that leads to the Kingdom." - Our Lady, June 18, 1980

MUCH IS EXPECTED

"Remember, My children, those who have been given graces, much is expected of them. You must continue to go forward. Do not slacken in your work, your mission. Do not become complacent nor content in your own salvation, for that will be pride, and pride can make you fall. Therefore, in all charity, reach out for your brothers and your sisters. Your lives must remain free from contamination of worldly pleasures and seeking, for the world has now been given to satan." - Jesus, June 18, 1980

"TORN MY CHURCH ASUNDER"

"You have destroyed many souls in your search for power, your lust, your arrogance, your pride! You have torn My Church asunder! Shall you restore it brick for brick? Can you regain the souls that you have scattered and allowed to fall under the teachings of false teachers?

"You have been warned in the past that you must not follow the ways of the world. You were, as pastors, to live in the world, but not be of the world. Do you think, as pastors, that I left a heritage to you of words that were not true? You take My Book, the Bible, you tear it and rebuild it with the work of satan! Restore My Church, or I shall come and I shall chase you out of it! All that is rotten will fall." - Jesus, May 15, 1976

BEND HIS KNEE

"Yes, My child and My children, My voice has not weakened, but My heart is more torn. For how many years have I traveled throughout your world pleading with you, as a loving Mother, to listen to Me. And how many have listened to this counsel from Heaven? How many have hardened their hearts, closed their ears, so involved in worldly pursuits and pleasure.

"Pride, arrogance, lust, money, murders-all manner of corruption is set upon mankind because he will not listen. I will not say cannot listen-he will not listen. Therefore, he who will not listen must receive a just chastisement, so his ears will be forcefully opened, and he will bend his knee to his God." - Our Lady, June 18, 1981

FULL DEDICATION

"My children, understand: it is a great test for all mankind. You who have been given the knowledge of what is happening now upon earth must go forward as apostles, disciples of My Son, and pass this knowledge on to all. If you are too concerned of your own pride and personal comforts, My children, you will not be able to work as an apostle and disciple. It must be a full dedication in the spirit." - Our Lady, July 15, 1978

WORLDLY PRIDE

"Pride! False pride, My children, is the downfall of many. Cast aside this worldly pride! You have only one to face when you come over the veil: it is the judgment of the Eternal Father.

"You owe, My children, no allegiance to man who offends the Eternal Father. The Commandments given by the Eternal Father must be followed." - Our Lady, October 6, 1975

RATIONALIZING

"Priests in the houses of My Son, why do you waste your time trying to disprove My warnings to the world? You are rationalizing My supernatural manifestations. Pride and arrogance have set many onto the road to destruction, soul destruction." - Our Lady, December 24, 1974

FINISHED AS A NATION

"Pride and arrogance, even among My clergy. I say unto you: Cast My Mother aside and you are finished as a nation! But for the tears of My Mother, you, O United States of America, would have received a just chastisement long ago. But My Mother has begged for a reprieve, the time for you to mend your ways, to cleanse yourself of your sin, for you have become a pagan nation. You are not alone, My children, for many nations now have become paganized.

"Theologians in My House, My Church, you go forward in arrogance and pride. Do you think you shall go above your Master, your God? Shall you follow the same road as the fallen angels who now use you as chattels? You must return now to a life of penance and prayer, O clergy, while you have the time." - Jesus, February 1, 1978

THE SAME COURSE

"Man of pride and arrogance has set himself above the Father! Your country and many countries of your world are following the same course as in the past. Why have you not learned from the past? Sodom! Gomorrha! Nineveh! Babylon! All fell because of sin. Sin is insanity! Minds have been clouded by satan. Awaken My priests from their sleep. Open your eyes!" - Our Lady, August 21, 1974

"DO NOT BE AFRAID"

"Do not be afraid to expose evil. If you do not bring into the light others who are fast encased in darkness by their own will, or by acts of obedience to evil; if you do not seek to save them, to bring them out of this darkness, you, too, will be guilty of arrogance and pride-and charity, charity that must be extended-a lack of charity, for charity must be given to others. Those who receive in abundance, whether it be graces or the material, must use their abundance to save others." - Our Lady, March 18, 1977

On October 6, 1980 Our Lord said: "The sin of omission shall condemn many to hell, be they layman or Hierarchy. I repeat: not the sin of commission, but the sin of omission will commit many to hell."
