#231 - STATUES, RELICS & HOLY IMAGES

"And thou shalt put in the ark the testimony which I will give thee. Thou shalt make also a propitiatory of the purest gold: the length thereof shall be two cubits and a half, and the breadth a cubit and a half. Thou shalt make also two cherubims of beaten gold, on the two sides of the oracle. Let one cherub be on the one side, and the other on the other. Let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their wings, and covering the oracle: and let them look one towards the other, their faces being turned towards the propitiatory wherewith the ark is to be covered." - Exodus 25: 16-20

DO NOT FALL INTO THE FALLACY
“Do not discard the monuments, your statues. Do not fall into the fallacy promoted by many that you must cast them aside as being worshippers of idols. O My children, you do salute your flag; you do build in bronze and stone the figures of those who had prominence in your world, so why cannot you build in bronze and stone the images of the personages of Heaven?” - Our Lady, December 7, 1976

DO NOT TAKE AWAY
“Do not, My dedicated, take away the pictures and statues, for then the children will cast their eyes on things of the world. We will be just a memory, a legend, to them. “ - Our Lady, November 21, 1970

RETURN THE STATUES
"Clergy in My Son's House, His Church upon earth, will you not return for the children the statues, the monuments of faith? The children must have a firm foundation. Their minds are not matured enough to know, in feeling within the heart, the existence of peoples in Heaven. These statues, monuments, must be returned to My Son's churches.” - Our Lady, July 14, 1979

RESTORE TO ORIGINAL CONDITION
"My child and My children, be it known now that We have looked into the churches about the world, and We are much confused and perhaps cannot understand the nature of humans who can in such little time do so much to destroy My Church, My House upon earth. You must restore My houses to their original condition. We ask that you return the statues to My churches, that you restore the main altar, that you replace the gating so that others may kneel in adoration to their God. This is only the beginning; there is much else that you, My pastors, can do, and those who wear the mitres shall do, or they shall find themselves quickly in hell.” - Jesus, August 21, 1985

RETURN ST. MICHAEL
"In your search for peace and brotherhood, you are building another religion, My children. It is a false religion of humanism and modernism. How many warnings were given to you in the past, warnings against these forces, the forces sent out from hell! You pastors who have rejected Michael as the guardian of the Faith and My Son's House, you must return him in prayer and visual sight, his monuments, his statues to My Son's House, Church.” - Our Lady, June 18, 1976

KEEP STATUES IN HOMES
"My Mother has gathered Her children throughout your world. None shall fall unless he falls of free will. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer, My children. Keep your monuments in your homes, your statues. Wear your sacramentals, for graces are needed to offset the forces of evil that are now raging to ravage the world." - Jesus, June 18, 1976

KNOWLEDGE OF THE KINGDOM
"We are displeased, discouraged, and disheartened, My children, at watching inside the homes of many. The 'many' has become multitudinous, My children. We find much lacking in the homes. The family life has deteriorated and corroded. Little by little, We see the structure of the family life disintegrating. There is little discipline and not holiness, by far, in many of these homes, My children. The teaching is poor, to say the least.
"You must restore to your homes the pictures, the objects of worship, the statues, so that your children will receive a small knowledge of the existence of the eternal Kingdom and those inhabitants of the spirit. Unless you do this, My children, your children in turn will be lost to you, and to the Kingdom of the Father.” - Our Lady, August 14, 1975

STATUES OF GODLY NATURE
"You must return to your homes and My Son's House the monuments, statues, My child, of godly nature. Your children cast their eyes upon the creations of satan now. They are soul destroyers. Bring back into your homes all the monuments of God, the statues.” - Our Lady, October 3, 1973

EVERYTHING GIVEN IN THE PAST
"You must use everything given to you in the past: the sacramentals, the monuments, the statues. My children, while you remain in your human nature you will be tempted and tried. Many shall fall away from the Faith. Many shall sell their souls to get to the head.” - Our Lady, February 1, 1978

RELICS
"Avoid all occasions of sin. Pray a constant vigilance. Gather all the sacramentals you may have hidden for years from your children and your families, and I say this, hidden, for many have cast aside the use of any relics in their homes. Your children must have the statues and the relics as constant reminders of the road they must remain on. The world outside your doors now is a world of satan. Many shall find with sadness to their hearts, that they try to come back too late onto the road to Heaven. There will not be time for many to return. Prepare your household, My children.” - Jesus, February 1, 1978

MUST BE KEPT
"The monuments, your statues--they must be kept in your homes, for all who keep them in their homes will be saved.” - Our Lady, February 1, 1971

APPROACH THE CLERGY
“But I assure you, My children, as I counseled you in the past, you will wear your sacramentals, and you will keep the monuments, the statues, in your homes.
"I ask you as your Mother, too, not to give in or give up in this struggle to retain a semblance of the Church of My Son upon earth. You will speak out and continue to approach the clergy in your parish. The monuments, the statues must remain.” - Our Lady, July 25, 1979

IGNORANCE
"All who hear My voice, who accept My counsel, will be saved.
"My children, do not cast out the monuments, the statues, from your homes. They are not relics to be adored. We hear all of the complaints and the disparancies coming in relation to those mementos that you have, My children. You must understand, ignorance is often the reason for these accusations of worshiping idols and statues.
"My children, it is only because they do not have the Faith, or they have lost the Faith, and they cannot understand. Pray for them, My children. You cannot accuse or punish a blind man, but you must try to help him so that he will understand and live a life approaching the light. If you cast him off, he is lost.” - Our Lady, September 28, 1977

NOT OBJECTS OF WORSHIP
“I know, My children, in My House upon earth they have thrown out the angels, the statues, calling them irreverent, calling them objects of worship. We know that is not true. But they have adopted that attitude, and that is why I say that even many wearing the highest rank in the hierarchy are like rats burrowing into the foundation of My Church. They, too, shall be judged.” - Jesus, July 25, 1985

STATUES, HOLY RELICS
“Do not abandon the statues and holy relics for modernistic sculpture and pagan artifacts. Protect the innocence of your children. You must be most careful and monitor their training, both in religion and sectarian training.
"My children, I do not want a schism and division in My House upon earth, My Church. Convert the unbeliever. Do not compromise your Faith. Heresy, O mournful heresy--condoned and permitted in My House! Do you seek, O clergy, to recrucify Me?" - Jesus, September 7, 1979

VISUAL EFFECTS
"Remember My past direction, My children, to you all to keep your sacramentals about you. Retain in your household the monuments, the statues, that are fast being cast aside. Know that satan would like to take from you the knowledge of the supernatural, even to camouflage his own existence by setting up skeptics, scoffers, and intellectuals who are ever seeking but never coming to the truth.
"Protect your children from all of the evil that abounds. When they leave your homes, protect them with their sacramentals. Keep a daily constant reminder of their faith within their hearts, and this you can be helped to attain by keeping the statues, the visual effects that will retain in your children's hearts the knowledge of the truth of their faith.” - Our Lady, November 22, 1976

WILL BE SAVED
“Many miracles and prodigies shall now be found upon earth; but beware of those that satan creates. Test the spirits. Satan cannot hide long his plan, My children and My child, so do not fear him. Fear is a tool of the devil. Just prepare to thwart him by wearing your sacramentals, keeping your holy water in your homes, keeping your statues, your monuments. For I promise, My children, all who keep the monuments, the statues, in their homes will be saved." - Our Lady, August 13, 1977

WILL NOT BE DESTROYED
"All sacramentals must be worn and kept in the homes. The monuments, statues, must be kept in the homes and the House of God, for they will not then fall during the trial of chastisement. All who keep My monuments in their houses will not be destroyed." - Jesus, March 25, 1973

DO NOT CAST ASIDE
"O My children, continue to send the Message from Heaven throughout the world. Do not slacken in your pace. Persevere and you will be saved. Keep the sacramentals in your homes and on your children; they are your armor. Do not cast aside the monuments of the personages of Heaven, the statues. All who keep these monuments in their homes shall be saved.” - Our Lady, December 31, 1976

DIABOLICAL PLAN
"Pray, My children, pray that this serpent does not come into your home. Protect it with your monuments, your statues. The evil forces have gathered to remove all knowledge of the sacramentals and the supernatural from your lives. It is a diabolical plan coming up from hell!” - Our Lady, August 5, 1977

RETAIN
"Retain, My children, the statues, the monuments, all sacramentals in your life, for it will build the light within the souls of your children. The enemies of your God, the Eternal Father, and the truth, they set themselves to take these from you for one reason: to remove the knowledge of the reality of the existence of your holy saints.
"Man has difficulty, in his imagination and thinking, to understand the existence of a world that cannot be seen by the human eye, unless allowed by the Eternal Father. It is a special grace.” - Our Lady, November 1, 1975

MUST BE RETURNED
"The statues, the monuments must be returned to the House of God. For what enters through the eyes and the mind leads to contamination or edification of the spirit. Keep pure and holy thoughts entering your mind, for it is also the focal point of entrance for the evil spirits." - Jesus, November 24, 1973

OBJECTS OF GODLY NATURE
"Wear your sacramentals; do not cast aside the monuments and statues and objects of godly nature, for all who keep these in their houses will be saved. Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you turn back now, your country shall not escape a great Chastisement." - Jesus, May 30, 1974

IMAGES REMOVED FROM CONVENTS
"The images have been removed from my convents. I am very sad. The children have forgotten me; the children will forget all. The images, statues, must be returned to the houses of God and the homes." - St. Theresa, December 7, 1973

ANGEL OF DEATH SHALL PASS
"The monuments, the statues, must be kept in your homes. As it was in the days of old, the angel of death shall pass by those who retain the monuments in their homes.” - Our Lady, May 18, 1977

CHILDREN MISLED
"Remember, My child, out of sight, out of mind. That is why Our statues have been removed from among you and replaced by the edifices of satan. Out of sight, out of mind!
"And how many have My Son in their hearts today? How many of your children are being misled? How many have already fallen into the abyss? Woe, woe to the parent who does not heed My words and act upon them! You will be crying tears of anguish, gnashing your teeth, too late! Too late!” - Our Lady, October 6, 1974

REPLICAS
"The greatest barrier is intellectual pride among the men of God. Once they remove this barrier by much penance and return to prayer, the blindness will be taken from them and they will see the errors of their ways. Pray, My children; pray much for them. The power of prayer is great with the Father.
"The monuments must be returned to the houses of God."
Veronica - Our Lady means statues.
"The children must have replicas of solid nature to cast their eyes on. For what enters through the eyes comes into the mind. And what comes into the mind develops and comes out again. What have you given upon earth for your children to absorb but sin, depravity, and loss of the knowledge of God. All who keep the monuments in their homes and houses will be saved.” - Our Lady, September 7, 1973
