"Mission accomplished. Your giving the messages (Occulations from Heaven) to the Holy Father (Pope John Paul) will have much fruit for the church in the future."
Three years later, on October 19, 1997, Pope John Paul II proclaimed St. Theresa a Doctor of the Church, one of only three women saints to have this distinction. Thus, Our Lady's prediction came true.

One of Veronica's Closest Workers, Vincent McDonnell, Received Gold Papal Medal of Honor From Pope John Paul II for His Valliant Efforts in Protesting the "Hail Mary" Film...
In 1985, a blasphemous film entitled "Hail Mary" was released. This film portrayed a modern version of the virgin birth in vulgar terms. Vincent McDonnell, a devoted worker of Our Lady of the Roses Shrine, protested this evil film for 122 days, eight hours a day. The first night there were 10,000 people protesting outside of Alice Tully Hall from 5pm until 10pm. Vincent led the people in a Rosary procession around the hall people to defeat the film. The Rosaries continued until 10pm. Pope John Paul II sent Father Perenti, head of the Redemptorist order in Rome, as his envoy. At any given time during the protest there were anywhere from 15 to 10,000 people. From there, Vincent traveled around Manhattan, protesting the film from 2pm in the afternoon until 10pm. He also spent two weeks in Boston protesting the film. Next, he protested at the State University near Albany and Princeton College in New Jersey.
On October 12, 1986, Pope John Paul II bestowed the gold Papal Medal of Honor on Vincent for his defense of the Blessed Mother.
"I shall not stand by and allow My Mother to be debauched and defamed. I will take action, great action, against the theater where this picture (the "Hail Mary" film) shall be shown." (Jesus, 10-5-85)
Vincent Met and Talked to Pope John Paul II on Several Occasions...
Veronica sent, Vincent McDonnell, on a special mission to deliver the Bayside Message to the Holy Father, had a singular grace and privilege to greet and briefly speak to the Holy Father at the General Audience on October 24, 1979.
Pope John Paul II personally accepted from Vincent's hands a large envelope containing the Bayside messages of Our Lady of the Roses and Our Lord. A yellow Rosary blessed by Our Lady and given by Veronica gift wrapped the precious package. Vincent also gave the Holy Father a tape of the message that prophesied his attempted assassination. This was 19 months before the event took place. This remarkable event, as related by Vincent McDonnell, unfolded in this manner:
Pope John Paul Blesses Our Lady of the Roses Shrine Workers...
“The Holy Father said to me (on being handed the envelope): ‘What is this?’ I said to him: ‘The Rosary is a gift from Our Blessed Mother, and in the envelope
“The conversation lasted for a couple of minutes…. I thought it prudent not to say too much, being satisfied that he knew about the Shrine and that he had personally received the Messages into his own hands.”
In May of 1987, Vincent was able to talk to Pope John Paul II for 15 to 20 minutes. Vincent received three VIP tickets for for the Pope's private audience through a Polish bishop. After his 5am Mass, Pope John Paul II came down to great Vincent and the others waiting for a private audience. While the Holy Father gave most of the others ten seconds, enough time to shake a hand or touch a head
Vincent gave the Holy Father a picture of Our Lady of the Roses and a 15 karat gold rosary for his upcoming birthday in April. Vincent told the Holy Father that he must consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Pope John Paul II replied by saying "Yes" three times. Finally, Vincent gave the Pope a box of messages. The Pope gave the package to his security guard and told him to take care of it. A bishop tried to take the box, but the Pope would not give it to him. The security guard told Vincent that he would take it to the Pope's bedroom right away.
A Picture of Vincent McDonnell at Our Lady of the Roses Shrine with Pope John Paul II miraculously appearing in it...
The picture at the right was taken of Vincent McDonnell wearing a white beret on his head and standing beside the Statue of Our Lady of the Roses at Bayside, New York. The Statue of Our Lady mostly disappears except
for a little blue in the lower right hand corner of the picture. But covering the majority of the Shrine Statue you can see miraculously appearing in the picture a side profile of Pope John Paul II looking downward. You can also see a string of Rosary beads in the lower left-hand side of the picture. This photograph was taken within one year of Vincent's meeting with Pope John Paul II. The picture was taken with a Polaroid SX70 camera which is tamper proof. It appears that Heaven is attesting to the authenticity of the meeting.

After Vincent Returns From Rome He Reports the Results to Veronica Lueken...
May 8, 1993
Dear Veronica,
On Wednesday, April 21, 1993, thirty-four pilgrims of Our Lady of the Roses attended the General Audience with the Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, together with pilgrims from all over the world.
We arrived for the General Audience in St. Peter’s Square at approximately 8:30 am as the Audience was scheduled for 11 am until 2 pm. We were seated with other pilgrims from Poland. From 8:30 a.m.to 11 a.m. we were praying the Rosary and disseminating Our Lady’s messages.
I was determined to see the Holy Father and give him the two booklets Occulations from Heaven, which Our Blessed Mother requested me to do.
It was approximately 11:20 am, when with the help of the Blessed Mother, I made it all the way. I climbed over chairs until I finally got to the center aisle barrier. I stood on a chair where some children were standing. The Pope was walking towards me down the aisle shaking hands and talking with various pilgrims.
I was holding in my hands two copies of the booklet Occulations from Heaven. I handed the two booklets face up to him, the front cover of St. Theresashowing
I said, “Most Holy Father, Our Blessed Mother requests that you take these two copies of Occulations from Heaven by St. Theresa; you must read them. Please, Holy Father, you must read them, especially page fifteen, Exhortation poem by St. Theresa.” The Holy Father said, “Yes! Yes!” I insisted, “Holy Father,your must read the booklets, especially page fifteen. Our Blessed Mother wants you to read them.” The Pope said, “Yes! Yes! I will read them.”

As I stepped down from the chair I was attacked verbally and physically by some women. They were hitting me on the back and over my head with their handbags. They were pulling at my coat jacket and screaming at me. I guess I got them a little upset since I got between them and the Pope.
When I returned to my seat and after relating the good news to my fellow pilgrims of Our Lady of the Roses, several of us smelled a beautiful aroma of tobacco. The beautiful aroma of the tobacco smell was an indication to me that Padre Pio was with us and that the mission was a success.
While praying the Rosary in thanksgiving to Jesus, Our Lady of the Roses, St. Theresa, St. Michael, and Padre Pio for the success of the mission several of us got a beautiful smell of roses.
I had given Lena Iannetta a box containing all of our Lady’s messages and
We asked him for a special blessing for Veronica, and all the workers and pilgrims of Our Lady of the Roses Shrine. The Holy Father clasped our hands and said, “Yes.” He then gave his blessing.
I pray that the booklets, Occulations from Heaven, given to the Holy Father, will produce an abundance of fruits.
I remain, respectfully yours,
Vincent F. McDonnell

Pope John Paul II Appears to Veronica Lueken at Our Lady of the Roses Prayer Vigil…
Veronica - And next to it, I see the Pope, John Paul II, standing there. He's looking all about. And he's stretching out his arms, like this, and saying: "My children of the world, pray for me." - Pope John Paul II, September 14, 1985
Vincent McDonnell Met and Talked with Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI)...
Vincent met and spoke to Cardinal Ratzinger on October 2, 1988. Vincent was in St. Peter's Square handing out copies of the "Consecrate Russia" message to bishops and cardinals entering Paul VI Hall for a conference. At about 1:30pm, Vincent recognized Cardinal Ratzinger walking across St. Peter's Square. He hurried over and introduced himself to his eminence. Vincent started out by showing the Cardinal several miraculous pictures from Bayside. Cardinal Ratzinger said, "Oh, I know all about Bayside." Vincent told Cardinal Ratzinger that he was there to get Pope John Paul II to Consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Vincent said, "I know he’s having some difficulties getting the bishops together. But he is the supreme pontiff of the Holy Roman Catholic Church and he has to command them. Our Lady has requested this going back as far back as 1929 and 1917 at Fatima." Cardinal Ratzinger replied, "I know." Vincent gave Cardinal Ratzinger a copy of the message. He said, "I'd be happy to give it to the Pope. I'm going over there now."
Vincent had previously met with Cardinal Ratzinger's secretary at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Msgr. Joseph Di Noia. Msgr . Di Noia showed him a drawer full of information on Veronica and Bayside. Msgr . Di Noia told Vincent, “We’re keeping a file because there is a lot of good stuff in there.” Vincent asked, “What is your honest opinion, Father?” He said, “There is a lot of good stuff in there. That’s why we are keeping it. A lot of that stuff she is saying is true.”
In May of 2005, Vincent again met Msgr.
Proofs that Pope Benedict is Fully Aware of Our Lady of the Roses' Requests at Bayside...
First, with the release of his motu proprio Summorum Pontificum, Pope Benedict brought the Latin Tridentine Mass to prominence. Now, any priest of the Roman Catholic Church can offer this Mass and not even the Vatican can stop them. This is exactly what Our Lord requested at Bayside.
Veronica - Jesus is not pleased with the manner in which His clergy are carrying out their vocations, and, also, the Mass. Jesus wishes that the Old Mass be returned to wipe out many of the errors that have crept in since the New Mass has started. - July 1, 1985
In July of 2008, Papal Master of Ceremonies, Monsignor Guido Marini announced that anyone who wanted to receive Communion from the Pope at papal liturgies only be able to receive Communion kneeling and on the tongue. Anytime now that the Pope gives out Holy Communion, a kneeler is brought out so that the faithful may kneel and receive their God on the tongue and kneeling only as requested by Our Lady at Bayside.
"My Son is not pleased with the manner in which His Body and Blood is being given to all of the humans upon earth.
"Communion in the hand has not been, and will not be accepted by Heaven. This is a sacrilege in the eyes of the Eternal Father, and must not be continued, for you only add to your punishment when you continue on in the ways that have been found to be unpleasing to the Eternal Father." - Our Lady, June 30, 1984
“All honor must be given to My Son in the Eucharist. Man must kneel. My Son’s House is the House of God and a house of prayer, and it must not be turned into a meeting hall.” - Our Lady, July 25, 1979
A new English translation of the Mass was announced earlier this year. This new translation, while it is still taken from the Latin version of the Novus Ordo, is more more faithful to the Latin. In fact, some parts now sound like translations of the Latin Tridentine Mass. A comparison of the current text and the changes shows that Pope Benedict is staying true to his promise to "reform the reform". Once again this is a move to return to tradition, just as Heaven has asked through Bayside.
Just as Pope Benedict was leaving for the UK, it was announced that Pope Benedict would pray the main parts of all Masses in Latin. This move shows yet again Pope Benedict's support for Latin, the universal language of the Church. It also highlights his efforts to reintroduce the Church to the beauty of that language in the Mass.
"My Mother has given you My way. It is a simple road that must be followed. The rules have been given to you that must not be changed, as you cater to the basic carnal nature of man, a generation that has fallen! You will not make changes within My House, for you have dispersed My sheep. You will restore My House to its former glory. Strip you hearts of your pride! Recognize your errors and restore My House!
"I say this to you for your Creator, as your God: Restore My House, or I shall come down and restore it Myself with a firm hand! And shall you stand before Me, O pastors, and say that your teachings have been pure in My sight? I shall take you and spit you out as spittle into the fires of eternal damnation! Vermin that came out of the flowers!" - Jesus, December 28, 1976

Vermin that came out of the flowers!" - Jesus, December 28, 1976
It has been revealed that while he was a cardinal, one of the things that weighed heavily on Pope Benedict's mind was the mishandling of the Third Secret of Fatima. In fact, it was announced in early 2010 that Pope Benedict was planning to reopen the file on the Third Secret.
"My child, they converse of the secret that I gave at Fatima. It is a simple explanation. It could not be fully revealed because of the drastic nature of My message. How I warned and warned that satan would enter into the highest realms of the hierarchy in Rome. The Third Secret, My child, is that satan would enter into My Son's Church." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 13, 1978
"I gave Lucy the Revelation as a temporary secret—as I revealed [the Third Secret] to you on two occasions. Make a concerted effort to bring its entirety to Our children on earth. The hierarchy have not listened to My counsel—thirty-two years lost in indecision and fear of exposure. The Faith is shattered for many." - Our Lady of the Roses, April 29, 1992
In closing, I would like to say that Pope Benedict is doing a great job in restoring the Church to it's former glory. Let us storm Heaven with prayers for the Pope Benedict's safety and that he will have the courage, strength, and longevity to complete his valiant efforts in the face of so much dissent within the Church.
