Help with friend devoted to bayside

[Dianesdec]

I have an older female friend who went to bayside New York in the early 1980’s and she has been decived/hoodwinked by the messages/prophecies of Veronica Luken/bayside…

she condemns Vatican II and dosen’t want to receive holy communion from anyone except the priest and she kneels during the lamb of God and during the final blessing and she dosen’t want to shake hands during the sign of peace and she thinks that the Pope hasn’t conscecrated Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary properly, etc etc etc etc etc…

So what can I do? What should I do other than pray?

What’s the problem? I prefer taking communion from the priest myself; if she wants to kneel then God Bless her; I don’t like shaking the hands of strangers myself. Oh, and I’m not a follower of Ms. Luken.

Now Medjugorje is another story!

Peace!

Diane, we have a few where I am too who have been devotees since the 1980s.

There’s not much you can do other than pray for them. They are not really doing any harm. At least Veronica Leuken didn’t lead them out of the Church. She told them to stay and be a good example in whatever parish they were in.

I have one in my parish - an older woman about 82 or so.

Remember, too, there but for the grace of God go either one of us.

They have an answer for everything. Stuff like that doesn’t fly with them.

At the risk of sounding uncharitable, what business is it of yours what your friend does in worshiping? You should be more concerned for your own soul than for others. Either leave this woman alone, or find another friend.
I do agree with the other respondents that you could pray for her, but only as you pray for others.

It is un-Christian to suggest that one not try to save another person from grave falsehood. It is a spiritual work of mercy to inform the ignorant and admonish the sinner.

You failed to mention that she condemned Vatican II. That is the problem. The other stuff is of little consequence.
