Vol. 26 No. 45 - Beloved Mother Mary - November 6, 1983
The Sign of a Great Liberation in the Earth

     Beloved of my heart, I greet you in an hour of new freedom to all people of light on earth. I come out of the mystery of the Word. I come to define for you the principle extolled and demonstrated by my Son, who occupies the office of the Judge.

     This Day of the LORD's Vengeance pronounced by him a week ago must be understood by you as a sign of a great liberation in the earth. Even as the winds of the sea bring a light and a radiance from afar, so they carry also particles of gold that now saturate the earth, even physically as gold dust. So there comes to the earth a new light, a new fragrance, and a golden halo.

     The hour of your liberation is at hand. Thus, it is an hour for vigilance and for attention to detail. I have brought to your attention this morning, in all of these teachings,1 certain details of your life to which you ought to give attention - not overconcern but lawful concern in the matters of your own Godhood and your path that leads toward full reunion.

     Thus, it is well to consider an eight-week vigil of prayer. It is well to understand how much more scientific is your understanding of prayer than was that of the student body when beloved El Morya and I dictated these Pearls of Wisdom.

     Therefore, in a comprehensive understanding of the flame of faith as that very undergirding of the universe by cosmic law, in the understanding of faith as a cohesive light within the cells of the body and the mind, the understanding of faith as the binding of the ties in all contracts, human and divine - marriage contracts, business contracts, the contract of the Guru/chela relationship based upon faith that is a fundamental trust.

     And it is this trust which you must never, never allow to be broken between your heart and Mother's heart. For I am with and in Mother here on earth. And therefore, you may seek recourse to me through her heart. If misunderstandings arise, if the specters of doubt and fear cross through the night, the very threshold of your consciousness, do not allow them to remain. If you cannot slay them by your own momentum of illumined faith, then you must understand why there is an embodied Mother of the World, why there is an embodied messenger.

     You need not write endless letters to me or to the hierarchy when there is one who holds the answer and the key. Therefore, bring your questionings to the light of day and eternal Truth, and see what answer will be provided. For the answers are not known in advance by the messenger, who speaks by faith that the Holy Ghost will place the words in her mouth.

     Year after year, week after week, our pronouncements and our preachings through both messengers have been based on this faith and trust of the Brotherhood in the One Sent, and of the One Sent in the sponsoring Light. You must maintain the same relationship with your I AM Presence as you see the messenger maintain with us. Your faith in the certain knowledge of what you shall do, what you shall put on, what you shall say, what your defense shall be2 must be implicit,even as our implicit faith is in this one at hand to deliver our Word to you.

     Some things are the very rock of faith, the foundation of our trust. And when you tamper with this trust, truly you tamper with your oneness with Almighty God. And the very wrath of that God is upon the fearful and the unbelieving,3 who thereby lose their entrance into the kingdom of God (or his consciousness) because of their letting go of the fundamentals of faith andtrust in the divine and the human relationship.

     Faith in the divinity within the Persons of God is strengthening. Faith in humans is disillusioning! And you must not engage in it over and over again as your senseless idolatry meets with disappointment and disgust. And the net result is that you walk away from the altar of God as though God had failed you, when in fact you have failed him by trusting in things ephemeraland mortal! And therefore, putting one's trust in the corruptible self, you have been shortchanged or cheated or defiled. But what did you expect?

     Trust, therefore, in God and the unshakable and unmovable. For I tell you that every form of derangement, insanity, absence of Christ consciousness,and all malevolence is by the dissolving of faith. Faith is such a powerful flame that it can be the flame of your absolute protection unto the reunion with God.

     If you do not keep the faith, if you are faithless, then you cut off the return current of Almighty God that should descend to you. If you do not give God your faith, he cannot give you his faith - and thus the contract is broken. And you yourself have broken it, though you accuse God or his representatives of breaking that trust with you.

     Realize, therefore, that the walk of God begins with the first step,and the first step is always faith. For how can you know where you are going or when you will arrive until and unless you get moving? You must begin that walk, even if you will have to turn right angles several times to finally get on the right road and the right track.

     You cannot sit still and gather moss or dust, but you must be a sign of mobility in cosmos! For all the stars and galaxies are in motion round the Central Sun, and you are in motion yourself - in orbit around the divine reality of your being.

     Therefore, I say, let faith abound as a spiral that proceeds from center because the center is twirling. If the center is not twirling, then a spiral will not be produced, but only the straight lines that can be vulnerable. But the spiral is never vulnerable, for it is tightly wound. And thus, the spiral is God's way of manifesting the faith of the mighty sapphire in your world. You ought to study the Book of Ezekiel concerning the appearance of the sapphire,4 and know the meaning of what is the focus of the will of God.

     I have come on this day and date now to reinaugurate my appearance at Fatima,5 to celebrate it with you and to open the door for renewed communication with the hearts of the faithful and an ongoing report of my observations concerning the community and body of Christ as well as those who are called the "pagan nations." Whereas they are not necessarily pagan individual by individual, their governing policies and individuals are so.

     Thus I come before you with my chastening rod concerning the conference of Catholic prelates in the United States that has come forward against the necessary defense of this nation, and accusing of immorality any act of war that must be taken in defense of the individual and the nation.6

     This statement, which is at odds with the administration of this nation under the guidance of Saint Germain, is one more point of division in the body of God in America. And I cite and I expose the serpents wearing the cloth and the garment of the Church who have no understanding whatsoever of the strength of peace or the dharma of the soul to defend the integrity of Christ withinthat person and within that nation!

     I tell you, until Armageddon is through and the final judgment and the binding of the fallen ones is o'er, it is necessary to understand the spiritual warfare against spiritual forces of evil, principalities and powers of fallen angels, and spiritual wickedness in high places.7

     And therefore, what amounts almost to a doctrine of pacifism, what amounts to a denial of the active force of the Woman in this world to defend the Manchild, must be judged by the right hand of the Mother that I AM and of the Son of God and of the Christ within you. For these individuals may influence untold millions to move against the full power of Alpha and Omega in the true active and true passive roles.

     I might say that these individuals who have partaken in this document and the signing thereof have not the least idea of who is The Faithful and True and The Word who leads the armies of heaven against the fallen ones.8 And if they had the slightest perception of prophecy itself and of the binding of the tares who are the seed of the Evil One,9 they would recognize that God has already necessitated war itself as an act of the vengeance of Our God against the original perpetrators of murder, death, and the lie, who are the fallen angels.

     And until they be bound and judged, this war must continue. And all of the hosts of the LORD and Light must engage in it by a profound understanding of the strategy of peace and of defense and of the armor of the LORD10 - which begins with faith and truth and righteousness and the tube of light and the science of the spoken Word and ultimately, we pray, will never, never, never have to use nuclear weapons in order to bring about peace on earth! For this is our will. [applause]

     We do not desire to see the trampling of foreign armies upon the Holy City,11 the Holy City which is the very design and destiny of the United Statesof America. We do not desire to see foreign armies on the city of Jerusalem in Israel. We do not desire to see the destruction and loss of life. For this, beloved ones, need not come to pass.

     I desire and command my soldiers of the cross, El Morya's trail blazers,and beloved Saint Germain's freedom-fighters to recognize that there is a warfare that can be fought and that has been extolled and pronounced to you by the Brotherhood, and it is the one whereby the sons of God control the purse strings of the nations and of the world!

     Understand that the control of the divine economy of earth is the necessary control over all of those nations who are determined to spread World Communism around the world. It is the United States of America and the Western nations who feed light, energy, money, armaments, and technology to the beast,therefore empowering the beast to make war against the children of the light.

     This is precisely the illustration which Jesus gave. The statement "The prince of this world cometh and findeth nothing in me"12 cannot be said of the United States of America or of the Western nations, because in them isfound those perpetrators of evil who have sympathy with their counterparts in the World Communist movements. And therefore, by that sympathy with the fallen ones, they supply them with all of the light and energy which they require to make warfare against the Light.

     These things ought not to be! And they must not be, and they must be stopped by my own sons and daughters who derive the strength of the ascension current itself for this warfare of the Light swallowing up the darkness of war and death and famine and pestilence and cataclysm itself!13

     Therefore, beloved ones, I point out to you that this sympathy must go,and [there must be] the binding of the dweller on the threshold of this nation of the entire conglomerate of the beast as well as the dragon - the beast of World Capitalism (that is, monopoly capitalism) and the dragon of the international bankers giving power to the beast of World Communism.14 This represents a conglomerate of many lifestreams who have entered into positions of immense power to control the flow of light of this nation which ought to go for the education of all light-bearers of the earth as to their own interior Light,their own Holy Christ Self, and their own contact with Almighty God.

     Understand, beloved hearts. And do you see that the very control by the aligned Western powers of this flow of energy to the Communist bloc should have long ago stopped the necessity to raise arms and for the young men and women of the world to have to enter into combat? But it has not been accomplished! And they have been weak-willed, they have been cowards, they have defiled the Word of the Mother, they have defiled their people, and they have, as it were, prepared to feed them as fodder to the war machines of the sinister force.

     Let all consider, therefore, that those citizens who are a part of their county, their town, their community governments, their state governments who make a determination as to how the taxes of the people should be spent and for what policies are, of all people, most important. And this concerns the committees in the Senate and the House of Representatives of this nation.

     For where funds are allotted and where they are budgeted and where decisions are made by various committees as to how to spend these funds, that is where you lose control of the world scene and the world picture.

     Therefore, the entire planetary body hangs in the economic balance. Therefore, let us bind the beast - the money beast whose number is 66615 - andlet him be cast down and cast out! In order to accomplish this, let the light-bearers fast and pray that they be delivered from the records of their own subconscious of greed, of the love of money, which is the root of all evil16 - and not money itself as the instrument of exchange.

     Let there be the removal from the four lower bodies of that unlawful ambition that seeks greater gain than is necessary to bring in the kingdom of God on earth and in one's life. Let a cosmic trust be seized by Keepers of the Flame who hold in trust the supply of Almighty God for the sponsoring of this and future generations, for them to perform their work and their service of the internalization of the God flame.

     For there is no greater danger to the people of this nation than the loss of personal contact with the Holy Christ Self. This continues at such an alarming rate through the use of drugs and through the manufacture of noise, ground out by grinding mills of noise out of the very pit itself - from rock to every other type of noise - that the lifewaves of this America are not focusing clearly, by the Mind of God and the all-seeing eye, to focus upon this very nucleus of the money beast, which is the third eye, the very point that David hit when he slew Goliath.17

     Realize, then, that the money beast itself is behind all war. And it is greed to increase money that causes the Western nations to supply armaments and all manner of defensive as well as offensive weapons, mounting a huge spiral around the world.

     It is the money beast that causes the feeding of technology, of grain, et cetera, et cetera, throughout the planetary body. And that greed has its origin in the fallen angels and the Watchers themselves who long ago lusted after the light of the people of God. And this lusting after the light is the lusting after their abundance, their supply, their energy, their life-force, and all of the seven chakras which are points of God's consciousness.

     Therefore, lust and greed must be bound, and the planetary dweller on the threshold of the beast and the number and the name of that beast!

     I AM Mother Mary, and I am daily probing the hearts and minds of the souls of light as well as the evil ones. And therefore, I have brought to your attention this day, in all that the messenger has told you, certain details and awarenesses that you must take to heart and review and write down and apply. For here I have given even the mysteries of your own victory and your own overcoming.

     And as you pursue the prayer and vigil and walk of faith this week, you will find me with you in your heart, unfolding the flower of faith that is a mighty revelation of the will of God for you - and how truly you will implement the plan for Glastonbury and those adjacent, constructive businesses that may provide not only employment but education and the development of the heart and the soul of those who reside there.

     Therefore, let the nucleus of light begin as a mighty spiral, breathing forth and acknowledging that every community has certain needs. And therefore, as the members of the community fulfill those legitimate needs lawfully and according to that which is a lawful increase on their talent and their investment and not an inordinate increase, all will be blessed and all will note how the kingdom of God, as his consciousness descending, will precede the actual physical precipitation of all that is come to pass at the Inner Retreat.

     Surely, surely, I must say to you, as it was spoken of old by the full power of the prophet of the LORD God, even Micah, that there must be a gathering on the Mount Zion and a coming together of the elect.18 There must be the setting forth of the feet, holy feet upon the mountain. There must be a reinforcement of unity by love.

     This community of the Holy Spirit is a chalice of love into which I gladly pour this day my cup brimming over with love for you and for all of the light-bearers of the world who are truly marching straight to the heart of God.

     I pray, therefore, for the consuming by the sacred fire of veils of ignorance, doctrinal ignorance and limitation, and the depriving of the people of the fullness of the sacrament of both the bread and the wine. I burn back the veils of ignorance of the Holy Ghost and the Teacher and the Comforter and the necessity of the judgment!

     I burn back the veils of misunderstanding of the tremendous presence ofthe Father in the earth through the Holy Spirit and the contact of the I AM Presence descending into your world by that Spirit! For it is the dove of the Holy Spirit that brings the love of the Father to you even as your own Christ Self preaches the love of that Father.

     I AM burning back the veils of ignorance of the Mother flame and the power of that mantle and that office in your life. I AM Mother Mary, and I am determined now that there shall be a binding of not only ignorance but of malice practiced within the Catholic Church - not alone by the Jesuits and the black pope, but also by those who have ensconced themselves in the Catholic universities, preaching intellectualism while causing their students to be indulging in the vices of the sensual senses and the misuse of the sacred fire as though this were normal and natural when it is only that which is natural to devils, for it is not even natural to the animal creature.

     Therefore, I am impelling the raising of the light of the Mother flame in all! And let this resurrection of the Mother flame be the judge of all that is anti-Mother. And let there be turmoil! And let there be upheaval! And let there be exposure! And let those who have worn the cloth of my Son and sought to represent the Vicar of Christ even while they have rebelled against the pope know that I, Mary, have seen and that I have judged, and that my office of Mother has also become the office of Judge unto those who have betrayed my name though they give me lip service.

     Those who have a mouth for Christ and a hand for Lucifer, as another of my sons has said, must therefore realize that the Day of the LORD's Vengeance is truly at hand, and it will be fulfilled according to God's cycles and by his angels as the Law does determine it.

     Therefore, fear not, but give your lawful service unto the Almighty. For I AM here this day to reinforce within you the understanding of just how important this organization is, this activity and each of its devoted members, as well as the messenger who does bring to your attention directly the deliberations of the Darjeeling and Indian councils and of the Council of the Royal Teton that are so important for the ongoing cycles of the earth.

     I turn my attention in this moment to El Salvador and to the mothers there. And I give them an infusion of my Immaculate Heart, strength of the diamond-shining Mind of God to be keepers of the flame by the full power of the violet flame from the heart of the Holy Ghost.

     I AM sealing the light-bearers of that nation. And I give to them, through your blessed rosary of this day,19 the protection of my mantle and a perception of the wisdom of God and a true knowledge of the enemy, both within and without.

     I therefore proclaim the exposure of the temptation of Serpent to descend to those levels of socialism and Communism which do not allow the individual to earn his own stripes and his own stars as the focus in the causal body of attainment of the soul here below.

     I say, therefore, let America as a nation of opportunity provide opportunity for the Central American nations, for the children of the light there to learn their sacred labor and be protected in their right to exercise their sacred labor, their right of private property, of the free enterprise system. And let those governments be upheld who guarantee the freedom of every citizen to pursue his God, the path of his own Christhood, and the livelihood for his family, free of unnecessary encumbrances by either the extreme right or left-wing governments.

     And therefore, let the sons and daughters of light who enter the military forces of Central America see themselves as watchmen on the wall of world freedom, where they guard for their own nation the right of the individual to live unmolested in peace and to pursue his divine plan. After all, beloved ones, this is the reason for the institution of human government from Noah on, descending to the present.

     And therefore, I denounce the so-called governments of World Communism as not fulfilling the law of Almighty God! And all governments of World Communism this day issuing from the Soviet Union and Red China through Cuba and all other forces, including Kaddafi, are bound, are subject to the judgment, are subject to the crumbling from within by the disintegration spiral!

     They shall not pass! I say, they shall not pass when those in embodiment keep the vigil of freedom with the Goddess of Liberty and confirm that judgment daily and in our Saturday evening services. For I declare that these [governments] do not fulfill the purposes of Almighty God.

     Therefore, all governments who have departed from the purpose of freedom and the guarantee of the rights of the people under God on earth shall be bound, shall come to an end, shall be terminated as the Prince of Peace shall rise, nation by nation, through the individual embodiment of the Prince of Peace.20

     Therefore, mothers, nurture your children. Rock the cradle of your dearest love. Teach your little ones not only common sense but the wisdom of the Mother and the three Rs. And do not turn over their education to unknown hands and minds, unknown ones who program and indoctrinate them in rebellion against the true purposes of Saint Germain.

     I say to all mothers and fathers, even within this community, you must enter into the arena of your children's education - both spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional. For you are educating your children emotionally by exactly what you do at the emotional level. And you educate them by the example of the discipline and order of your mind or the absence of discipline, and chaos. Your children imbibe from you by a direct infusion and transfusion of your being.

     Mothers and fathers, you also stand before the World Teachers, and you must have a reckoning this day. For if you have failed to teach and teach righteously, you must come into alignment and you must rectify this by giving your love and your heart to your children and educating yourselves as to how you may augment and supplement that teaching which is given formally in our Montessori schools or in the schools where you send your children.

     The greatest mistake that parents worldwide could ever make is to be too busy to be concerned about the education of their children. When these little ones are in the presence of those who are the perverts, who misuse thesacred fire, who are representatives of World Communism, they imbibe these traits and characteristics. And we have seen, even in the children of light-bearers - where they have come under the influence of the seed of Satan - how they must work through and overcome those spirals that have been [set as] an example.

     Therefore, take heed, I say. For all will give an accounting in the day of judgment as to what they have done, not only for their own children but [for] the holy innocents on a planetary scale.

     Let your involvement be indirect through your continuing education of the heart, your violet flame, and your decrees. And let it be direct as you concern yourselves with what is being taught in the public schools as well as the private schools of America and every nation on earth.

     Saint Germain has come in the past to plant the amethyst jewel and the violet flame of freedom and the banner of freedom in the capitals of the nations.21 This flame of his freedom of the new age can anchor and circulate through the body system of the members of that nation - through the bloodstream itself - the flame and fervor of freedom if wise parents and teachers work together for the education of what is the meaning of freedom.

     America still is the exemplar nation, still under the grace and dispensation of Almighty God. Let not past sins of this nation create an aura of guilt, confusion, loss of vision of its destiny. But rather, let the people of America rise up and overthrow that self-condemnation and enter anew into the propagation of the faith in the principles of American freedom, in her Constitution, and all for which she has stood in the defense of the rights of individuals.

     Beloved ones, the color of this blue [aqua] worn by the messenger is indeed the color which I use to transfer to my devotees the vibration of the will of God enhanced by his illumination. It is also the coordinate of the violet flame of freedom from the heart of Saint Germain. And I stand with Raphael, who holds the emerald green, using this light to contribute to the expansion of the office and purpose of beloved Saint Germain and beloved Portia.

     I have come with a message of my serious intent to act and act with deliberation through you, the Keepers of the Flame, to bring the justice of Portia on earth for the binding of those who stand in the door of the temple of understanding - the temple of understanding in church, in state, in the universities and schools and colleges and elementary schools - who stand in the door and prevent the children of light from entering in to their own Holy of Holies and into their divine understanding of who is the I AM THAT I AM, who is the Lord Christ, The LORD Our Righteousness in their temple.

     I am determined, through those who count themselves a part of my very heart and body and soul and mind, to bring that God-justice in the form of both the Judgment and the Mercy, as each of these applies to every given situation. Therefore, mercy still abounds in the earth for those who will return to God. And the absolute judgment of his fiat still abounds and will increase for those who lifetime after lifetime have rejected the cup of love of the Mother.

     I extend that cup this day, and I invite you now to take communion in memory of the LORD God, in memory of Fatima, in memory of all those who lost their lives in these world wars and ensuing conditions because the leaders of the Catholic Church itself did not respond to my mandate given on that May 13 and following, through October in that year of 1917.

     I tell you, beloved ones, it is the faulty leadership and the false pastors of my people who have not seized the message of Garabandal,22 who have not proclaimed it and gone forth. But they wait in the shadows and they wait in the shadows, not wanting to confirm or deny.

     Therefore, I say they are lukewarm and I, Mary, Mediatrix of Mercy and Justice, will spew them out of my mouth this day!23 And let those who carry the light within the Church stand and be counted this day! For I will count those who are of the light and I will sponsor you, but I will not sponsor the malignancy that has entered the Holy Church and defiled the Christ in the sons and daughters of God on earth and in Jesus, my beloved.

     Therefore, I, Mary, have spoken. I have spoken upon this very ground and in your hearts. And my Word is piercing and penetrating every Catholic and every Protestant - both of whom have rejected my true identity and appearing. Thus all shall be judged, and the Woman clothed with the Sun shall rise up in the very midst of the earth. And none shall know the hour of the coming of that one, even as none know the hour of the coming of the Bridegroom.24

     Therefore, be prepared and keep your lamps trimmed, and understand the message of the parable of the ten virgins - five wise and five foolish.25 For the wise ones did not have sympathy for the foolish ones, for they knew they would require all of the oil in their lamps to meet the need of the Bridegroom and to complement his flame of Alpha in the Omega light of their chakras. Therefore, they did not spare a drop but, in the true spirit of the free enterprise system, recommended that they go to the market and buy the oil.

     Thus, you see, in order to buy the oil, they would have had to have light as money or coin of the realm to purchase it. Therefore, those who are without the Holy Ghost cannot purchase the oil of the Spirit or the oil of gladness.26 And you who do not build the light of love and devotion to me in your hearts in the daily giving at least of the Child's Rosary27 do not have, therefore, the money to go and buy the cosmic light that you need to complement the Bridegroom and the Cosmic Virgin.

     Understand that the day is at hand and far spent, and the prophecies of Fatima will surely come to pass in the full ferocity of karmic law if the body of God outside the Church does not reject the infamy within and stand for the victory and the fullness of the descent of the Son of God.

     Therefore, let this messenger be surrounded with love and light and candle-bearers who will determine to support her as she continues to deliver my word of prophecy to the nations. For I have not yet finished speaking, and I will be with you in this eight-week cycle for the delivery of the Word and the mandate.

     And therefore, I will say, when all of this has concluded, with beloved El Morya: I have spoken! Let the chips fall where they may! Let those who love the will of God come into alignment. And let all the rest know that the day of their infamy is the day of the reckoning of the LORD God - and their judgment is nigh, even at the very door.

     I AM Mary, and I am very much ensouling the planetary body with a light that will not be turned back, a light that is invulnerable and that marches with those who march to the drumbeat of Saint Germain.

     In his service and in the service of Almighty God, I AM the Mother ray in the earth, in my messenger, and in the disciples of my Son. Amen!

     "Amen!"

Bibliography

[11]
Volume 26, Number 45, footnote 5. The Friday preceding this dictation marked the 66th anniversary of the first appearance of Our Lady of the Rosary near Fátima, Portugal. Between May 13 and October 13, 1917, during World War I and the fomenting of the Bolshevik Revolution, she made six appearances to three shepherd children - Lucia dos Santos, 10, and her cousins Francisco, 9, and Jacinto Marto, 7 - urging daily recitation of the rosary, devotion to her Immaculate Heart, and penance. On her third visit (July 13), she warned: "If people do as I shall ask, many souls will be converted and there will be peace. ... When you shall see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign from God that the chastisement of the world for its many transgressions is at hand. ... To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the communion of reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heard, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will spread her errors throughout the entire world. ..." A final and secret part of her message was written, sealed, and stored in the archives of the Bishop of Leiria, not to be revealed until 1960; but the Church has never officially released its contents. In June 1929, Mother Mary appeared again to Lucia, announcing that the moment had come for the Holy Father, in union with all the bishops of the world, to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart. Despite Lucia's appeals to Pope Pius XI and XII, the consecration never occurred exactly as the Blessed Virgin had requested. In 1942, Pius XII consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart and in 1952 wrote an apostolic letter consecrating the Russian people. Although Pope Paul VI renewed the consecration of the world in 1964, he denied Lucia's request for a private audience in 1967. See sermon on the Fátima prophecy by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, March 22, 1978, "Good People Must Be Better," and Mother Mary, "The Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart," on 6-cassette Easter album The Second Coming of Christ I (A7836); sermon available separately on 2 cassettes (B7836, B7837); dictation (B7838).

6 On May 3, 1983, at the conclusion of a two-day meeting in Chicago, America's Roman Catholic bishops, in a vote of 238 to 9, adopted a precedent-setting 155-page letter on war and peace, "The Challenge of Peace: God's Promise and Our Response." The document, which has been in preparation for more than two years, calls for a halt to the nuclear arms race and endorses a "no first strike" policy, counter to U.S. Atlantic Alliance options for such strikes to defend Western Europe. "Because the danger of escalation is so great, it would be an unacceptable moral risk to initiate nuclear war in any form." The letter, which now becomes official "teaching doctrine" for America's 50 million Catholics, departs from the position of former U.S. Catholic leaders who have generally accepted the morality of national military policy.

22 On June 18, 1961, at San Sebastian de Garabandal, Spain, four young girls reported visits of an angel. On July 2, they said the angel was accompanied by a lady whom they recognized as the "Mother of Jesus" and who reportedly appeared more than 2,000 times during the next four years. On October 18, 1961, the girls announced a message from Our Lady: "We must do much penance and make many sacrifices. ... The cup is already filling and if we do not amend our lives there will come a great chastisement." June 18, 1965: "Since my message of October 18 has not been complied with and has not been made known to the world, I am advising you that this is the last one. ... Many cardinals, many bishops, and many priests are on the road to perdition and are taking many souls with them. ... You should turn the wrath of God away from yourselves by your efforts. ... You are now receiving the last warnings."
