#74 THE
CRUCIFIX
"THE LORD WILL PASS
THROUGH striking the Egyptians: and when he shall see the blood on
the transom, and on both the posts, he will pass over the door of
the house, and not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses
and to hurt you. "
-EXODUS 12:23
ALL ENTRANCES
"I must reveal, My
children, to the world again, that you are to keep a crucifix on
your front door and your back door. All entrances to your home
must be guarded by the crucifix. There has not been one home on
Long island that had a crucifix on its door that did fall to any
evil [Hurricane Gloria]. "
-Jesus, October 5, 1985
GREAT POWER*
"Remember, keep your
sacramentals constantly upon you: your brown Scapular, your St.
Benedict medal, the Miraculous Medal, and also the medal of Our
Lady of the Roses. You must keep them upon you, with a crucifix.
We demand a crucifix, because demons-many of the highest ones in
the realms of hell cannot stand the sight of a crucifix. They will
not approach your door. I give you this knowledge, My children,
though it is not common knowledge upon earth, that the crucifix
has great power against Satan."
-Jesus, June 18, 1987

Sacramental, Directives, No. 9.
WEAR WITH PRIDE
"Wear your crucifix about
your neck with pride. Are you ashamed to make it known that you
are with My Son?"
-Our Lady, October 6, 1974
ANY SIZE
"Wear any crucifix that
you can find. It does not have to be big or small, but an image of
My Son. " -Our Lady, September 7, 1985
WEAR AT ANY COST
"My child and My children,
I have given you-1 should say My Son and, the Eternal Father have
given you your armor. You must keep about you at all times-at no
cost must you remove from your bodies your crucifix, the St.
Benedict medal, and your Scapular. I say this for reason. "
-Our
Lady, October 6, 1992
KISSING
Now Our Lady is
kissing-very beautiful! Oh, so lovingly-the crucifix of Her
Rosary.
Veronica, May 20, 1978
SATANIC CULTS
"They can do nothing, My
child, while there is a crucifix upon your doors. I would suggest
also, My child, that you go back to your previous habit and plan
to keep a St. Benedict medal on each window sill of your home....
Then you will not be tormented at night by their weird chantings
that have kept you awake many nights. "
-Our Lady, November 1,
1985
EARTHQUAKE
"This is called a
tribulation what will come upon you next. It will be of an earth
force again. However, with your prayers, and your guarding of your
homes, as We have always told you to, with the crucifixes, you can
escape with little damage, or none at all. it will be as though
the angel of death has passed by your home."
-Jesus, November 1,
1985
COASTLINES
"Those living along the
coastlines, We caution them to keep a sacramental and a crucifix
upon their doors, for the angel of death shall not enter your
home."
-Jesus, July 1, 1985
CHILDREN'S PLAGUE*
"It will be the death of
the children. Tell the parents that the angel of death will enter
their homes. They will try to use human reason but will not find
the cause. "
-Our Lady in locution,
- March 22, 1994
*On March 21,
1994 Our Lady appeared to Veronica and said: "You will hear of the
dearth [scarcity; lack] of children. It will be to save their
souls." The important the crucifixes were particularly
impressed upon Veronica. She understood that the angel of death
would bypass those homes that had the crucifixes on their front
and back door, drawing a parallel with the incident reported in
the Bible. We read that the angel of death smote every first-born
thing in the land of Egypt, man and beast alike except in the
houses of the Israelites who, under the instructions of the
Eternal Father, sprinkled the blood of the lamb on their cloorpost
(Exodus, see above). See also Rose Notes, No. 15, "Plague to
strike children. " -A verbal communication from Heaven to the ear
or directly to the intellect.
CARNAGE
"There will be carnage
within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your
crucifix upon your doors. "
-Jesus, June 30, 1984
CHASTISING COMET*
There's a large map, and
beside it a globe of the world.... I see islands, and then I see
very large waves.... But now on top of the water there are people
floating, and there are pieces of wood, and there are people,
bodies. Oh! Oh! ... As it grows dark, the people are running in
every direction. They don't seem to know where to run. I see
closed doors and people knocking on the doors. The doors are
closed. But the doors now are painted with a large red cross on
the door. The cross, though, the cross is like being made in
blood. The cross on the door is like blood on the door. The blood
of the cross! There are lights, candle lights through the windows
of the doors with the cross.
And I see the people lying out
beyond the doors. They seem to be falling over. Somewhere in the
air, there is something that is cutting off their breathing,
because they're clutching at their throats. And they're falling
forward on their faces.... The explosion-it's like, almost like a
bomb being dropped.... It's a hall. It's a fiery hall, and it's
spinning and going about the globe.
-Veronica, August 14, 1973

Great Chastisement series, Directives, Nos. 57-62.
SPARED
"All who keep a crucifix
on the front and rear door will not suffer the effects of the
Chastisement. " -Our Lady in locution, February 7, 1994
THE CRUCIFIXION*
I see now Jesus upon the
cross! ... His hands with the nails through His palms, and the
skin-like ropes holding onto His wrist, onto the wood. [Veronica
sighs plaintively as though in pain.] The blood is carrying
through the na-a-ail! Ah-h-h! Ah-h-h! His feet are crossed on the
wood, the right foot over the left. [Veronica sighs heavily
again.] There's a big spike through His instep, through His feet
onto the wood. Ah-h-h! [Veronica cries out in pain.] I can see His
arms. Ah-h-h! His arms are straining. Ah-h-h!
-Veronica, September
7, 1979
*Every year during
Lent since 1971, Veronica sees in vision the Passion, the
sufferings of Jesus from the agony in the garden to the
crucifixion. She actually physically feels the crucifixion even
despite the excruciating pain and horror that it entails. See also
The Passion of Christ, Directives, Nos. 66-67.
SPECIAL SHRINE CRUCIFIX*
"Extend, My child, the
crucifix that you recovered in the church of Saint Robert's. I
bless you, My child, and this cross discarded with sorrow in Our
hearts. It will bring immeasurable joy to your heart. In the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Now, My
child, you shall have two crosses, but this one you will take with
you, so you will always be close to My sacred grounds. Many graces
have been given for the return to the Sacraments of Our wandering
sheep. Bless them, My child, on every occasion with this crucifix.
. . . " -Veronica-Our Lady now is coming very far down to kiss the
crucifix.
-Our Lady, November 1, 1975
*As directed by
Our Lady, Veronica brings this to every vigil, where the Blessed
Virgin always venerates it with a kiss. During her ecstasy,
Veronica devoutly holds this crucifix to her heart, and later upon
Heaven's instructions uses this wooden crucifix, graced with the
power of cure and conversion, to impart the Immaculate Conception
Blessing upon the infirm and the sick.
PRAYER BEFORE A CRUCIFIX
Behold, 0 kind
and most sweet Jesus,
I cast myself upon my knees in Thy sight,
And with the most fervent desire of my soul I pray and beseech
Thee
That Thou wouldst impress upon my heart lively sentiments
of Faith, Hope, and Charity,
With true repentance for my
sins, and a firm desire of amendment,
Whilst with deep affection and
grief of soul I ponder within myself
And mentally contemplate
Thy five most precious wounds,
Having before my eyes that
which David spoke in prophecy of Thee,
0 good Jesus: "They have pierced
my hands and feet;
they have numbered all my bones. "
An indulgence of 10 years. Plenary
indulgence under the usual conditions when recited before an image
of Christ crucified.
