#264 - Worldliness, Part 1

“Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is the enemy of God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world, becometh an enemy of God. Or do you think that the scripture saith in vain: To envy doth the spirit covet which dwelleth in you? But he giveth greater grace. Wherefore he saith: God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Be subject therefore to God, but resist the devil, and he will fly from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.” – St. James 4:4-8

THE MAJOR DOWNFALL
”The major downfall in the House of God lies with the fact,  My child, that the pastors prefer worldly living with world treasures, never counting the merits needed to enter the eternal Kingdom of God the Father. These merits are not gained by your gatherings of world treasures. They come from your heart. These hearts of Our pastors have been hardened. Their ears are clogged, My child; they do not listen. Their eyes are blinded, not seeing the miracles We send to open them.
     "Pastors, do you reject the Message from Heaven because you fear it? Or do you prefer to ignore it because it will expose your error?
     "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.” – Our Lady, October 6, 1975

EXAMPLE OF HOLINESS
"We expect now, at this time, at this late date, My child, that all who follow the road to Heaven will divest themselves, remove all worldliness from their presence and cast aside for good example to all, the worldly clothing that has been forced upon them by satan. Their example must be one of holiness. You must avoid all occasions of sin.” – Our Lady, July 25, 1975

“YOUR MINDS ARE CONFUSED WITH WORLDLINESS”
"I say unto the clergy, My Son's priests and the clergy of the world: you have been blinded because of pride and arrogance. Your minds are confused with worldliness, humanism, and modernism. Pray on your knees! Take your heads out of the fog now while there is time, for your time is running out. Redeem yourselves in the eyes of the Eternal Father now.” – Our Lady, August 4, 1979 

WORLDLINESS AND SIN
"And woe to the clergy who has given himself over to worldliness and sin! Woe to the clergy who rejects his vocation and chooses a life upon earth after he has taken his vows! I say unto him: the judgment will fall great upon him.” – Jesus, August 4, 1979 

BLINDED TO THE TRUTH
"Errors are compounded upon errors in My House. The Red Hats are given to all sins of the flesh. The Purple Hats follow in blind obedience, and they, too, fall to all manner of sins of the flesh and worldliness--self-seeking, arrogant, and prideful. Because of these reasons, My children, they are blinded to the truth.
     "Many good souls of light have offered themselves to Heaven as victim souls for the repatriation of the lukewarm and the fallen souls in My House. We accept in all charity of heart from Heaven these fruits from the light, these fruits from the hearts of the humble. But I say unto you: there are not enough prayers, there are not enough sacrifices and penance to save many among the Red Hats and the Purple Hats.” – Jesus, December 31, 1976 

TURN NOW FROM YOUR WORLDLINESS
"I have wandered throughout your world exposing these evils, bringing them before you for your action. So many have passed by, feeling an apathy to My words.
     "Experience is a great teacher, My children, but you are fast setting yourselves upon a road that will lead to a terrifying experience, for you are bringing destruction to your world.
     "The Eternal Father has been merciful to you. He has watched with a saddened heart as man, in his arrogance and greed, has gone down the road to perdition. Those who have the power to do good and to fortify the young souls against the evils of your day and age--they, too, have turned their backs, for they have sold their souls to get to the head.
     "All that is rotten shall fall! A Church in darkness wears a band of death about it!
     "My pastors, those who have dedicated themselves as teachers of the young souls, you are scattering the flock! Turn now from your worldliness and your seeking of materialism. What have you gained for yourselves or those whom you have taken a vow to protect and guide to the eternal Kingdom of the Father? You are leading them down, by your example, the road to perdition!” – Our Lady, August 14, 1975 

MY LITTLE ONES
"My little ones--and I say in fact, My little ones, who are of humble heart and spirit, who seek not the pleasures and gain of worldliness--My little ones, I comfort you with the knowledge that you will receive the keys to the Kingdom. Be not discouraged in this world of darkness, My children; go forward with My Mother. Her direction is true to you. You may not understand all that is being given, but accept this with confidence, for when the time is right, all will be made known to you.” – Jesus, August 21, 1976

DETACH YOURSELVES FROM WORLDLY LIVING
"My children, My Mother will counsel you in your trials and the time of tribulation. She will not abandon you in your struggles. You must all pray more. Detach yourselves from your worldly living and pray. It is your contact with Heaven. You must all lead and live and practice more spiritual life. Worldliness and worldly pursuits are as nothing to you. There is not one worldly, materialistic thing or person that will be able to save you or give you necessary merit when you come over the veil for judgment.” – Jesus, August 5, 1978 

DO NOT ACCEPT WORLDLINESS INTO YOUR HEART
"Parents, I must warn you again. I do not wish to repeat upon My Mother's counsel, but I must warn you again that unless you, too, as adults, do not accept worldliness into your heart, unless you in your heart remain as little children, trusting with faith, learning by example from your elders, these elders that were instructed through the ages of time in My Church--do not succumb to the modes of the world: humanism, modernism, satanism. And I repeat: what will you have gained for yourselves and your children if you gather all of the world's treasures and you have stored nothing for your redemption in Heaven?” – Jesus, February 10, 1977 

LONG HABITS, SIGN OF DEDICATION
"Sisters, do you not understand why you were given a long habit to wear? It was a sign to the world of your dedication. You were to become brides of Christ, My children. And what have you given to the world, but a poor example of worldliness without dedication. You have become of the world; you have proceeded onto the wide road.
     "Sisters in vocations, turn back! Do not become maidens of the world, foolish maidens, but return and be brides of Christ, brides who have been given the key to the Eternal Kingdom of your God.” – Our Lady, July 15, 1977 

SOFT IN THEIR WAYS
“Satan has entered into the holy House of God. You will open your eyes to the truth now and stop him.
     "I see that the high priests of the House of God have become soft in their ways. They cater to their bodies and do not wish to sacrifice and make penance. There will be no easy road to the Kingdom. They will get down on their knees, and they will starve their worldly bodies until they rid themselves of the demons within them.” – St. Thomas, August 21, 1972 

HUMILITY AND SACRIFICING WORLDLY INSTINCTS
"You will well understand, My child, that the cross is al­ways heavy. Humility and sacrificing of your worldly instincts will make your ascent to holiness much swifter. It is truly the will of the Father that you will do.” – Our Lady, February 10, 1975 

DO NOT WASTE THE TIME LEFT
"Remember, My children, that none will enter into the Kingdom except through My Son, for He is truly the way.
     "Your body is the temple for your spirit. You clothe yourselves in filth and all manner of abominations. Chastity, piety--your words are being lost, being changed to corruption and immorality.
     "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.
     "I know that the days are growing short, and many will be taken from your world. You must all now live your lives as though you will enter beyond the veil tomorrow. Do not waste the time left, My children, in gathering worldly gains. Better that you spend this time in gathering your graces, your merits that will be added beyond the veil.” – Our Lady, February 10, 1975 

THEY DID NOT SEEK TO PRACTICE THE TRUTH
"Prayer, atonement, and sacrifice! Wear your sacramentals, and do not waste the balance of your time in idle, worldly pur­suits of the flesh. Many souls have fallen into the abyss be­cause they did not seek to practice the truth. And what is the truth, you may ask Me? It has been given to you, though man has chosen at this time to sully it.” – Jesus, February 10, 1975 

MANY ENTICEMENTS
"This hope you will find nourished if you accept the guidance of My Son.
     "Satan has placed many enticements upon the earth. O My children, recognize the truth. They are there to nourish your worldly passions, your worldly instinct for body pampering.
     "The spirit is a distinct enclosure within your worldly body. The shackles and fetters of your body will fall to dust, but you must live on!
     "You use in your world the word 'death.' My children, there is no death. There is no death. Your life will continue. The life hereafter will be eternity and forever. Satan has sought to remove the reality of hell from among you. You can sin when you think there is no punishment. Recognize the truth! You are walking in blindness.
     "I promise all who come to Me on My hallowed grounds to comfort them in their suffering. Many graces of cure and conversion will be given from Our hearts. There is nothing the Father would not do to rescue you, My children. Do not turn away from Us so your ears are closed to Our pleas. Close your eyes to your world; close your ears. Listen with your heart, and you will receive the light.
     "You will find that love is in unity. My children, unite now against the common enemy of your God. Turn from the enticements of your body he has set forth.” – Our Lady, June 8, 1972 

THE LESS YOU WILL BE OF THE SPIRIT
“The more you will go out into the world, the less you will be of the spirit.
     "My child, do not succumb to any worldly temptation. You must follow My direction very carefully, My child, or you will set upon yourself great suffering.” – Our Lady, August 14, 1975 

GLUTTONS OF WORLDLY PLEASURES
"How sad to see many dying in the pursuit of revelry and worldly body pleasures.
     "Drunkenness has always been an abomination in the eyes of the Father, and time will never distort the word of God. Time and custom never changes in the eyes of your God.
     "Tonight We view all abominations taking place. We see consorts in sin destroying the sacredness of the marriage bond with drink and brain medication.
     "What honor, what constructive pursuit is there that will destroy the total personality of man, reducing him to the animal level in emotions and actions. The heavy hand of God will not fall lightly on these offenders. Always remember that excesses weaken the soul.
     "Gluttons of worldly pleasures, can you not see the sorrow, the many miseries of starving nations, and souls leaving this earth untimely? Is this cause for revelry and joy? Can the heart go joyously into worldly celebration when there is so much sorrow about you? Is this not the time for full prayer? Have you so little faith that you believe your time not limited? Cast not your lot in with satan now, for in His mercy our Father must often look the other way when He calls many souls to the judgment.” – Our Lady, December 31, 1970 

A ROAD OBTAINED BY SACRIFICING YOUR WORLDLY PLEASURES
"My children, the words of the Queen of Heaven have directed you well. The words of truth and life have been given to you in the past by those directed by the Father from Heaven. You call these men of enlightenment, the prophets of old. But do not, my children, cast them aside as being old and outdated. No, my children, this Book was given to you, as it is for your very lifetime. The word of God the Father is eternal. It shall not be changed to please mankind. You will not cater to the lusts of the flesh. It is not an easy road to the Kingdom. It was never meant to be an easy road. It is a road gained by great grace and merit. It is a road that can be obtained by sacrificing your worldly pleasures.
     "You cannot bargain with satan and the Father. There is no middle road. You must stay on the narrow road that leads to the light, or you will go farther into the darkness." – St. Robert Bellarmine, June 15, 1974 

MANY TURNING FROM THE SACRAMENTS
"My children, many are turning from your Sacraments, searching for a new world, a world that is abounding with the word 'love, love!' But who knows the true meaning of the word love? How many are willing to sacrifice for this love? How many are willing to starve themselves of their worldly desires for this love? How many would be willing to give their lives for this love?” – Our Lady, June 15, 1974 

FOR LOVE OF MONEY AND WORLDLY LIVING
"For the love of money and worldly living, Our pastors have given themselves to satan. Unless they remove themselves from this web of evil created by the money powers of the world, they, too, shall be judged and cast into the abyss. Many have sold their souls to get to the head.” – Our Lady, September 13, 1975 

UNLESS YOU TURN FROM WORLDLY AFFECTIONS...
"Our joy is multiplied this evening by the numbers of Our children who have come to Our defense in the war against satan. The evil he promotes has accelerated. Unless you become knowledgeable and recognize his handiwork, the end of your era will be hastened. Unless you turn from worldly affections and give yourself to My Son, you will be lost in the darkness.
     "My children, never cease your prayers for Our Vicar, who is in constant danger. Should he be removed from among you, you will receive a man of dark secrets. Beware of one who will come in sheep's garment.
     "You must recognize the ways of satan. He will come and reach you with cunning and deception. He will set man up as one to glorify, as an idol to worship. This offends My Son! The body and mind are being studied, analyzed, restructured, but where is the spirit? Starved for the light of truth!
     "You cannot make a soul strong by catering to the worldly desires of the flesh. Give man everything the world offers, but without My Son, he has nothing! There is no peace, no happiness without your God. You cannot shut Him out, for satan is always waiting to claim your soul.” – Our Lady, May 30, 1972 

YOU MUST DENY YOURSELF
"My children, you have all looked for the easy road to My Son's Kingdom. The road to Heaven is not a road of acceptance of what pampers and you find is satisfying to your worldly being. You must deny yourself of these enticements which have been created by satan. I look upon your world and have found that sin has become a way of life with you. Come out of the darkness!” – Our Lady, November 20, 1972 

THE SIMPLE LIFE
"My child, Veronica, we despair in Heaven, for we do not see the beads of prayer being fingered often in our monasteries.
     "Many of our brothers of the orders have given themselves to worldly living, My child. They do not know that they have fallen into the snare of satan. The simple life, My child, is the best for the dedicated.” – St. Francis, May 28, 1975 

A LIFE OF WORLDLY PURSUITS
"You will all keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your world. Do not expect to receive from your hierarchy counsel to pray, counsel to do penance, counsel to make amends to your God. Because too few peoples in the light have prayed for your clergy, many of them have given themselves over to a life of worldly pursuits and pleasure.” – Our Lady, August 4, 1979

AN EMPIRE OF WEALTH AND FAME

"Clergy, you must pray now and do penance. Gather your graces. And these graces shall not be counted in the coffers of your collection plates. You will not carry a mark of esteem with the heading of the dollar sign, for you will sell your souls to get to the head. Do not spend your time building an empire of wealth and fame, for the Eternal Father will set judgment upon you, and neither counting your money nor your worldly fame, but the duty and the honor that you have extended to Him in your vocation and your life's work, and the manner in which you have brought His sheep to Him, or the way that you have been instrumental in leading them to their damnation and into the abode of the damned with Lucifer.
     "And woe to the clergy who has given himself over to worldliness and sin! Woe to the clergy who rejects his vocation and chooses a life upon earth after he has taken his vows! I say unto him: the judgment will fall great upon him.” – Jesus, August 4, 1979 

“MY SON HAS BEEN SORROWED”
"My Son has been sorrowed; He has been wounded anew by the conduct of those He has chosen to represent Him in His Church upon your earth. O My children, the abominations cry out for punishment from Heaven.
     "Will you not, pastors, take the blindness from your hearts and look upon the road which you have set yourselves on with your arrogance and pride and your searching for worldly knowledge and your searching for worldly gain? What will it do you when you stand before My Son and He will ask account of your mission? Will you stand before Him and say that your mission was completed with purity and the recovery of souls? No! Many of you now have set yourselves upon the road to perdition and you are taking many others with you.” – Our Lady, May 15, 1976 

MATRIMONY
"When a union in Matrimony is blessed by My Son through a legitimate, legally-ordained priest, His representative, no man shall take it upon himself for worldly gain, money, prestige, and power, to break the tie that has bound them together by Heaven!” – Our Lady, May 15, 1976 

MANY MINDS HAVE BEEN POISONED
"Many are called, but few are chosen. The numbers counted will be in the few after the final cleansing. Many minds have been poisoned by satan; many have sold their souls for worldly gain. How sad that they have forgotten that all time comes to an end, all life must reach its end, and all human life passes on to the veil.” – Our Lady, December 24, 1973 

MATERIAL GATHERINGS, THEY ARE WORTHLESS
"Parents, reject now your worldly pursuits for power, monies, material gatherings. They are worthless! For soon the earth will shake, houses will fall and crumble, gold and silver shall be melted in the tremendous heat of the Ball of Redemption. They will be naught to you all, as nothing to mankind. Your only covering shall be prayers and your acts of sacrifice. So gather now your treasures for Heaven, for everything upon earth shall be leveled!
     "My children, you did not believe Me in the past when I counseled you that many nations shall disappear from the face of your earth. This will be, My children, and will come about in a short time. This generation shall not pass without many nations disappearing from the face of the earth.
     "I come to you as a sorrowful Mother, a heart plunged in pity for Her children, children who have become blind by pleasure, blinded by the pleasures of the world. You do not see beyond your life upon earth, a temporary existence only, My children. You will live forever over the veil, in the eternal Kingdom of your Father in Heaven, or you will be claimed by satan for his kingdom.” – Our Lady, May 30, 1978 

SEMINARIES
"Woe unto you, teachers who shall stand before Me and say that your teaching has been pure in My sight! And I shall cast you out as vipers into the flames where you belong. You sons of satan! You know not the Father in Heaven, for your father is the father of all liars! You compound lies and errors in My seminaries. I say unto you, pastors, bishops, you are given the time to clean up My seminaries. You are deluded in your searching for humanism and modernism, for you have found satanism. Satan has become your master. You are blinded by your pursuit of worldly pleasures.” – Jesus, May 30, 1978 

PATTERN OF WORLDLY LIVING
"Heresy abounds in My House. All manners of aberration and impurities are being tolerated by My pastors. I say unto you that you must now clean your House! No man who has been chosen from among the multitudes to be a representative from Heaven shall use his rank, his vocation to gain worldly treasures and fall into the pattern of worldly living to the sorrow of those souls entrusted to him. You must awaken now from your slumber. I repeat: cleanse My House now, or I shall set a Chastisement upon you!” – Jesus, March 18, 1976 

IS IT WORTH IT?
"My child, that is where all mankind should strive to reach. Beyond the farthest star is an eternity of happiness with the Father in the Kingdom of Heaven. Is it worth, My child, for any man to make the decision of living upon earth, so short in years, a life offensive to the Father that he cannot enter then into the Kingdom of God? Shall you trade your souls for worldly gain and the few short years of pleasure--the destruction of your soul upon earth?
     "My tears are great, My child, for so few search for the truth. And so many are taking this truth from among them.
     "Believe, believe, My children, and you will be given the way. Seek and you shall find. Ask and it will be given to you. However, you must care, My children. You must want to come to Us. No love can be forced upon you.” – Our Lady, September 7, 1974 

“PARENTS, ARE YOU BLIND?”
"Parents, are you blind? Do you not see your children, what is happening to them? What have you done to save their souls? You are too busy in your worldly lives! You pile silver upon gold, but have you prepared your children's souls with merit to enter the Kingdom of the Eternal Father, or are you passing these tender souls into darkness and the realm of the prince of darkness, satan?
     "There shall be much woe and gnashing of teeth and sorrow in the hearts of many parents, tears that will flow--too late, too late!
     "As parents your duty is manifold. You must teach your children within your homes. You must safeguard their purity. Modesty! Mothers, your daughters--do you permit them to expose their flesh to lustful eyes? Are you stripping from their young souls modesty and purity of purpose and spirit? What kind of example are you giving as parents in your homes?" – Our Lady, October 2, 1975 

WORLDLY INCLINATIONS CAPTURE YOU IN A PRISON
"My children, you are as a man divided. Your spirit is darkened while your body and worldly inclinations capture you in a prison where you seek nothing but pleasures of the flesh and sensuality. You must now divest yourselves, strip yourselves of all worldly seeking or you will be lost! A house divided will fall! A Church divided will close its doors! Only a remnant will survive. Be it known that when I return, will I expect, may I expect to find even a small flicker of faith left upon earth?
     "Pastors, cardinals, bishops in My House, My Church, what are you trying to rebuild, a church of man without angels to guide you? What are you trying to renew? Has not My Church, My House, withstood all of the trials of time? It will stand again, but My concern as your God is the number of souls that are being lost to Heaven in this trial! The Eternal Father does not want one sheep lost to Him! Each and every soul upon earth is precious to Him.” – Jesus, August 14, 1978 

LUXURY HAS BEEN YOUR DOWNFALL
"Our hearts are greatly saddened by the evils and abominations being committed in the houses of God throughout the world. Man has given himself to all pleasures of the flesh. Luxury in your country, My children, has been your downfall, for you have forgotten your God and you have starved your soul.” – Our Lady, December 6, 1975 

A HUMBLE LESSON
"My child, I have a humble lesson to give to your world. If you are to follow My Son and stay on the road that leads to the Kingdom, you must divest yourself of all desire for worldly embellishments. You must desire to strip your being of all worldly vanity and pride. You owe nothing, My children, to any human being but to bring him the example of a living Christ. The love of riches has destroyed many--the destruction of friend to friend, and brother to brother, and sister to sister for the love of money and riches; but saddest of all, the destruction of the soul." – Our Lady, December 24, 1972
