THE ROAD
"Accept all
trial and suffering, knowing that the road in this way will lead directly
to the Kingdom of Heaven." -Jesus, November 20, 1979
PARADISE
"Accept all
suffering as My Son partook of the final dregs of the chalice of suffering,
to open unto all mankind the treasures to be found in the spiritual Kingdom.
Your reward shall not be found on earth but in Paradise - the epitome of
glory, with the angels. It is the only reward that man should strive for
- all else is vanity, and passing." -Our Lady, November 21, 1981
GREAT VALUE
"The Eternal
Father is most merciful, My children, and He will chastise those He loves.
There is great value in suffering. Many will carry heavy crosses, My children,
in the days ahead." -Our Lady, December 6, 1975
THORNS THEN
ROSES
"The good
must suffer, for the thorns will be long, and they will become abundant
in the days ahead. But always remember, My children: you must pass through
these thorns to gather the roses. And I say unto you as your Mother, I
send upon you a full garden of roses in graces." -Our Lady, December 7,
1978
JOY OF HEART
"Accept the
trials and the sufferings of your daily life on earth; and when the time
comes, you will fully understand why your cross was made heavy. And I assure
you, My children, at that time you will rise with joy of heart to know
that you were given the opportunity for your salvation." -Our Lady, December
24,1972
FORCED BACK
"The Father
has found it necessary to send upon the world an intervention. In this
manner He plans to bring many back to their senses. They have lost their
way, having surrendered themselves to the pleasures of the world. Many
will return when they are forced back by suffering." -Jesus, December 24,
1973
WISDOM
"Yes, My children,
many times you must suffer, for in this manner will you learn wisdom. Some
decisions that you make upon your own shall not bear good fruit." -Our
Lady, December 24, 1979
PHYSICAL ILLNESS
"Many who
suffer physical illness, be consoled that many will be cured. But many
will be asked to accept this suffering for the release of souls incarcerated
in purgatory. Your suffering can be the instrument for the salvation of
a fallen soul." -Our Lady, December 25, 1971
TESTED
"You are all
being tested like the metals in the fire. Only those who are willing to
suffer for My Son and accept the trials that standing before My Son will
bring them, will enter the Kingdom. The numbers after the final count will
be in the few." -Our Lady, August 14, 1972
STARS
"The brightest
stars in Heaven won their crowns through suffering." -Our Lady, August
21, 1970
GOOD MUST SUFFER
"You ask,
My child and My children, why must also the good suffer? As it was in the
beginning of time, so it will be now, that no one shall be above the crucifixion
or beyond it. In order to reach the eternal life of Heaven, you must take
up your cross and follow My path." -Jesus, August 21, 1985
GREAT STRENGTH
"You will
not understand the value of suffering. It is a source of great strength
of spirit." -Our Lady, September 6, 1975
THE CROSS BENEATH THE POSES
Hidden from all eyes-St. Theresa, May 20, 1969 Occulations from Heaven
but only known to thee,
A treasure bought with suffering,
with sorrow and with glee.
Covered with the fragrance of heavenly perfume,
Nurtured with a confidence that Heaven would be soon.
Carried through the years along with care and grace,
Fostered by the memory
of His beloved face.
Lighter than a cloud,
softer than a flower,
The cross beneath the roses was surely Heaven's power.
OBEDIENCE
"For to whom
much is given, much is expected; and discipline and obedience means suffering
and sacrifice. Unquestioning love, unquestioning obedience, that is the
only way to Heaven. Accepting all suffering, and offering this for good
cause." -Jesus, May 30, 1981
CROSS WITHOUT
CORPUS
"My child,
many have asked about this cross without the corpus. It is a symbol of
the suffering that will be allowed to a victim soul." -Jesus, June 5, 1975
NEVER WASTED
"My child,
make it known that no suffering is ever wasted, for there are graces following
behind these crucibles."
-Jesus, June
8, 1973
BIBLE
"But you must
remember, My child, for all the suffering that is received, think and read
your Book of life and love, the Bible. Know that all who followed My Son
had suffering, whether of mind, spirit, or body."
-Our Lady,
June 18, 1992
FORGOTTEN
"My Son gave
you a perfect example of His love. In His time of suffering many also rejected
Him, My child, and many now have forgotten His suffering." -Our Lady, July
25, 1975
RESCUE
"Your acts
of sacrifice and sufferings may also rescue your brothers and sisters who
otherwise would fall fast into the abyss, for they have no one to sacrifice
or do penance for them, My child. We ask for many victim souls, My child,
victims for the merciful heart of My Son, victims who will offer themselves
for the balance to mankind."
-Our Lady,
February 10, 1975
PATIENCE
"You will
listen to My Mother and accept Her counsel. For all of the sufferings endured
with patience, My children, graces in abundance shall be given to you."
-Jesus, February 10, 1977
SMALL CROSSES
"All of the
sufferings you must endure are but short and small crosses, My children,
in comparison to everlasting life over the veil." -Our Lady, April 9, 1977
PERSEVERANCE
"The children
of light shall go forward with great perseverance, knowing that they will
carry a heavy cross. For no man shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven unless
he picks up his cross and follows My Son. The road shall not be an easy
one, My children. It will be filled with thorns amid the roses. However,
as you progress in sanctity, you will find, My children, that you will
relish this opportunity through suffering to gain another soul. When many
graces are given to a human being much is expected of him." -Our Lady,
May 3, 1978
EARN THEM
"Our graces
are not given lightly. You must earn them, My child, and these will come
to you with great suffering." -Jesus, May 10, 1972
GREAT JOY
"Penance is
severe, My child, but at the end of penance there is a great joy." -Our
Lady, May 13, 1978
NO MORE, NO
LESS
"My child,
you have to understand that the human body is frail; but you will suffer
no more, no less than the Father expects of you. We have asked for very
many victim souls in the world. They are necessary in the plan for man's
redemption. I would not question, My child, the reasoning of the Eternal
Father, for He is your God, and knows all, sees all, and will do what is
best for you and mankind." -Jesus, May 17, 1986
