Bienvenido a la casa de María, J Es muy bueno tener otro miembro del Madrid en la España católica. De hecho, estoy leyendo al minuto sobre una señora de Asturias, Práxedes Fernadez cuya causa de canonización está en el futuro, en Roma. Murió durante la Guerra Civil. ¿Has oído hablar de ella? Welcome to the home of Mary, J It is very good to have another member from Madrid in Catholic Spain. I am actually reading at the minute about a lady from Asturia , Praxedes Fernadez whose cause for canonisation is going forward in Rome. She died during your Civil War. Have you heard of her?
I'm very happy to have met the Forum of the Mother of God. I've written a couple of things in my account just to get in contact. Later I'll try to complete it with some more details. Only to begin with... I got to know Garabandal in the sixties. I was then still at school. A classmate called Alejandro Damians came to my home with his father to show us a film they had just recorded in north Spain. It happened to be the one showing the visible Host on the tongue of Conchita. Thanks for your warm welcome!
Welcome to the forum jaivid ! You may or may not know that I am friends with Conchita, and remain in close contact with her (as we live near each other ). Hope you enjoy the forum.
Thanks Glenn. A pleasure. I'm a just retired doctor in Lleida (north-east of Spain). I'm now busy trying to go deeper into the encyclical Humanae Vitae. I hope so I will be able to help people to better understand the real beauty of pure human love. So it seems you are an instrument to help Conchita to wait faithfully for the Will of God to be fulfilled. Good job! May I do a request? While respecting her discretion, could you tell her Conchita that I keep praying for her fidelity? Kind of flow of prayers crossing continents and giving support to her mission. Maranha tha! Let the grace of God come soon, through his Mother!
I will relay your message the next time I see her in November. Thank you for your prayers. God bless.
(Shoud anyone be interested , I will translate this message into English) Apreciados amigos, Muchas gracias por vuestras palabras. Sigo con alegre paz tantos mensajes confiados y sencillos, impregnados de la humildad de quien se sabe ante lo verdaderamente grande, ante Dios y ante su Madre. Vuestras palabras me llevan a rezar más, a desprenderme de mi orgullo o de mi comodidad, a ser más generoso, a convertirme cada día al fervor de la primera hora. He decidido en cambio ignorar aquellos otros mensajes que muestran impaciencia ante profecías no cumplidas en su momento o ante expectaciones fallidas. Jesús y su Madre nos hablan desde la lógica de Dios, una forma de razonar que puede a veces resultarnos poco comprensible. Sus pensamientos van mucho más allá de nuestros cálculos pequeños y de nuestra lógica imperfecta y sujeta a los sentidos, al experimento. A mi me basta la seguridad de que las videntes eran personas normales y han actuado con bondad, con sencillez y con espontaneidad ante lo sobrenatural. Por lo demás, seguir las apariciones es para mi un ejercicio de fe. Y la fe nunca se cuestiona a si misma, si está bien fundamentada. Un fuerte abrazo, Joan
Joan, mi querida hermana en Cristo, la bienvenida al foro y gracias por sus amables palabras y sabios. Un fuerte abrazo de vuelta
La Madre de Dios te trajo aquí para enseñar. Así que enseñar. Me siento junto a sus pies para escuchar.
Dear friends, Thank you for your messages. I peacefully follow so many news and thoughts of the fora written in a simple and trustful spirit, full of the humility of one who knows very well that he (she) are dealing with supernatural matters. Your words really do help me to increase my life of prayer, to get rid of my pride and indolence and to accept happily the little crosses of my everyday life in a spirit of reparation. However I decided to ignore messages showing some impatience with unfulfilled prophecies or failed expectations. I consider that Jesus and his Mother speak to us from another logic – the logic of God-, a way of reasoning that can sometimes be a little bit difficult for us to understand. His thoughts are not our thoughts and they go far beyond our small calculations and our imperfect way of thinking, which depends very much on experimenting and verifying. For me is enough to know how the visionaries were normal people and acted with simplicity, honesty, good faith and spontaneity in relation to the supernatural. Apart from that, to follow the apparitions is to me an exercise of faith. And come what may, if well founded faith do not need to question itself. I wish you all a happy New Year.

Dear Padraig, Not at all! I'm not here to teach. I'm here only to learn. In any case, we are all here to share our better feelings if we think they are worth to be shared, are'nt we? Best wishes!
From Madrid, Spain. I don't know where I got the idea, but I think you are a Doctor and have much to teach about Humanae Vitae? Also that you are well worth listening too. But as the Spirit guides you
