Beijing’s War and Pope Benedict’s “Battle”...

"Yes, My child, much blood will be shed upon the earth.  Many will be martyred for the cause of My Son before this battle is over.
    "I have great hope, My child, great confidence that the armies of the light raised throughout your world will be able to go forth and reach the world with the truth, so that your generation can avoid the greatest part of the punishment that has been allotted, that will be given to mankind if your world does not turn from the evil and the offenses being committed--offenses that will not be condoned by the Father, for you have given yourselves, as a perverse generation, to satan." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 15, 1974

Spero News reported on May 24, 2011:

Every year, the hill shrine of Our Lady of Sheshan, near Shanghai, is transformed into a battlefield. On the very day of its solemnity, May 24, Mary Help of Christians, hundreds of uniformed and plainclothes policemen swarm the mount like zealous ants, eyes and cameras peeled to ensure every corner of the hill on which the Church stands is under guard, to check pilgrims documents, making them go through metal detectors, as if they were battling a new form of terrorism.

The (spiritual!) "terrorist" in question is none other than the Pope and his followers, who since 2007 has asked Catholics around the world each year to celebrate a day of prayer for the Church in China, coinciding with the festival and pilgrimage to Sheshan.

Establishing the Day in his Letter to Chinese Catholics (2007), the Pope had expressed the intention that through prayer unity between underground and official Christians and communion with the Successor of Peter may be strengthened, while also asking the Lord for the strength to persevere in Christian witness, even amid the sufferings of persecution.

Since then Beijing has “declared war”, doing everything in its power to prevent this promise of unity from being fulfilled. For this very reason, as has already been noted in recent days, tens of underground priests have been arrested, others have been taken on a forced vacation, “at the government’s expense", with the sole aim of preventing them from reaching the sanctuary. Even official Catholics, recognized by Beijing suffer limitations to their freedom, they too are forbidden to go to Sheshan in May, they are obliged to remain in their diocese and a ban is placed on foreign pilgrims.

In the past, every May 24th tens of thousands of official and underground Catholics would make pilgrimages to the shrine, in a common gesture of prayer and reconciliation.Now only a few hundred of the faithful of the diocese of Shanghai succeed in overcoming all barriers to pray to the Mother of God, Help of Christians.

This year, the need for prayer is even more heightened. Last November, Beijing ordained a bishop without Papal permission in Chengde, in December 40 bishops, priests and lay people were deported and forced to participate in the Assembly of Catholic representatives, not recognized by the pope, to elect the leaders of the Council of bishops and of the Patriotic Association. Among them excommunicated bishops. Only days ago, President Emeritus of the Patriotic Association, Anthony Liu Bainian, threatened the ordination of dozens of bishops without the consent of the pope.

The Chinese Church is powerless against this all-out war launched to divide and destroy the already beleaguered community of official and underground Catholics.

For this reason, May 18 last Pope Benedict XVI once again urged the faithful around the world and especially the Chinese faithful to pray this May 24 for bishops and priests in China, some of whom are "suffering and under pressure in the exercise of their ministry ", while others need to overcome "the temptation of a path independent of Peter", others still "are ensnared by the false illusions of opportunism".

Beijing’s war is comprised of control, bans and arrests: dozens of underground priests have been committed to forced labor; bishops held in police custody for decades have disappeared, official bishops, priests and their families have been terrorised and threatened. Instead the “Pope’s battle" is waged with prayer for those who govern, according to "the commandment that Jesus gave us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us" (see Letter 19).

We know who is winning: after 60 years of power, of persecution, and of plans to give birth to a Church independent from Rome, Christians in China still remain united to the Pope. And they pray according to his indications: in many dioceses in China, celebrations are scheduled for May 24, Eucharistic adoration, Rosaries for the Church's unity with the pope. An underground priest in Shanghai, who has been restricted in his ministry, prays from his prison-room: "Our Lady of Sheshan, bless the Church in China. So that all priests have the freedom to evangelize our country. "

This suffering Church also needs the prayer and solidarity of the universal Church.

"I have said before, My child, and I will repeat again: You will find the world engrossed in not only a worldly war of the flesh, but one of the spirit--a war of religion. You will all carry the banner, `Faithful and True', knowing that the ultimate victory will be with My Son." - Our Lady of the Roses, September 7, 1974

IMMEDIATE ENTRANCE
"My children, are there so few who will suffer for the Faith? Are My children lost to the need for suffering and martyrdom for the Faith? Do you not understand, My children, that martyrdom means immediate entrance into Heaven. Is this not worth fighting for?" - Our Lady, November 20, 1978 

MANY
"Many shall be martyred in the days ahead. Heaven can be gained through martyrdom." - Our Lady, November 24, 1979 

PREPARE FOR GREAT PERSECUTION
"My child and My children, My heart is very sad that I must bring you this urgent but final Message from Heaven. The Eternal Father has sent Me as a Mediatrix from God to man all about your world, the earth, crying out warnings from Heaven to mankind, warnings that only a few have heeded. And now the hour is approaching, the hour of darkness and sadness. Many parents shall have tears of anguish brought into their homes by the coming events.
     "My children, please, as your Mother I ask you in all charity to go forward and warn your brothers and sisters to prepare for great persecution. There will be many catastrophes now befalling your earth until the great Warning, and then the final Chastisement. O My children, will you not listen to Me!” – Our Lady, November 20, 1978

ULTIMATE VICTORY
"I bless you, My child, and your good relations. I bless all of the workers who have joined My Mother in these days of trial. You will understand the ultimate victory will be with the Eternal Father in Heaven. All who pass through this and accept the cross will be given a crown. Many martyrs shall come out of the tribulation, but, My child, is not that an easy way to enter Heaven?" - Jesus, September 7, 1977 

TIME GROWS SHORT
"I have told you in the past and I must repeat, My child: a heavy cross will be carried by all who will stand fast in the Faith with My Son. You, My child, and others who will set the example for those who will be saved, must accept a life of martyrdom. You will be scorned, you will be ridiculed and you must, My children, be different. Were you of the world, you would be accepted; but now that the Father extends to you the grace to be of the light, you will be rejected by your world which is now in the hands of satan. His time grows short. He works fast for the souls! You must increase your lives of prayer and sacrifice." - Our Lady, September 13, 1974 

PERSECUTION
"All who continue in the battle ahead must accept martyrdom. it does not, My child, necessarily mean death of your body, but it will mean persecution. Stand fast in the faith. Keep the faith in the hearts of those you love. Extend your charity of heart to all of your brother and sisters throughout the world. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer." - Our Lady, October 2, 1974 

EXAMPLE OF THE SAINTS
"You must instruct and bring to your children the knowledge of your saints. Their example is in the light, My children. Those you have set up to idolize upon earth now are the creations of satan. You must accept and follow the example of your saints, those who have been given this honor by your holy Church. They, too, My child, did not win their crowns without trial, rejection, and often, martyrdom." -Jesus, June 5, 1975

Crucifix on front and back door...  The only real protection against terrorists...
Jesus - "Pray and wear your sacramentals. And, also, My children, I ask you again to place a crucifix upon your door. Both front and back doors must have a crucifix. I say this to you because there will be carnage within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your doors." (6-30-84) (Testimonies of lives and homes saved by the crucifixes.)  https://www.tldm.org/news/crucifix.htm 

Heaven’s Home Protection Packet...
Our Lord stated we must have crucifixes upon the outside of all of our outside doors. In the "Heaven’s Home Protection Packet" there are instructions, four crucifixes, and a tube of special cement for wooden or metal crucifixes. Wooden crucifixes adhere better to the doors when the aluminum strap is removed from the back. Put a light coat of cement on the back of the crucifix and then press it to the outside of the door. If you have any problems, you can call us at 616-698-6448 for assistance. This Heaven’s Home Protection Packet is available for a donation of $7.00 plus $3.00 shipping and handling. Send $10.00 to TLD Ministries, P.O. Box 40, Lowell, MI 49331. Item # P15  (Order Form)

Your names have been written in Heaven… "It is not by accident that you are called by My Mother, for your names have been written in Heaven.... But with this great grace you have great responsibility to send this Message from Heaven throughout the world, for if you are able to recover just one more for Heaven, an additional star shall be placed in your crown." - Jesus, August 5, 1975

A great obligation to go forward... "It is not by accident that you are called by My Mother, for it is by merit and the prayers that have risen to Heaven for your salvation.  For those who have received the grace to hear the Message from Heaven, you have a great obligation to go forward and bring this Message to your brothers and sisters.  Do not expect a rest upon your earth, for you will have eternal rest very soon." - Jesus, June 12, 1976

The sin of omission...  "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."  Our Lady of the Roses,  October 6, 1980
