I heartily wish a happy birthday to dear Conchita, what a year 1949 that gave us such a good seer in the blessed place of Garabandal! Could you pass on these wishes Glenn from Luigi and far away Switzerland. I wish Conchita all the best and that she prays intensely with us for the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, hoping that it will happen as soon as possible.
WARNING & MIRACLE , IN THE SAME YEAR July 27, 1975 Mari Loli “Needles” magazine Interview Q. You have said that you know the year of the Warning. Can you tell us if it will occur in the next few years or is it still in the distant future? A. No. I can't say anything. Q. Did the Blessed Mother tell you not to speak about the Warning? A. No, she didn't , but, because the Warning and the Miracle are within the same year, I feel it inside not to say anything. Q. How do you know the Warning and the Miracle are within the same year" A. During an apparition-I don't remember just when- the Blessed Virgin told me. This interview has been published again in “Garabandal International” magazine October-December 2004
JACINTA & ( SAINT ) MOTHER TERESA, JANUARY 19,1992 In January 1992, Mother Teresa invited Jacinta to come see her. She was then recovering from a serious illness in her noviciate of Tijuanna (Mexico), only a few hours away from the visionary's home at Pasadena (California, U.S.A.).Jacinta thus made the trip on January 19, 1992, on the eve of the Feast of St. Sebastian. The religious Sister enthusiastically presented her to her community: "Here is Jacinta of Garabandal. Garabandal is authentic!" Then, before everybody, she expressed her keen interest for the works and research done on the "events," even inquiring about the new Bishop, Msgr. Vilaplana. Mother Teresa then asked the visionary to pray for her Institute for, she said, "You have only one house, I have dozens of them to take care of." The famous Foundress, who had already met Jacinta in New York, recalled with her many of the graces received by the visionary, notably the one of seeing the Sacred Heart, for Whom Mother Teresa had a great devotion. Her death, which occurred on September 5, 1997, just a few weeks after having met for the last time, in New York, with Conchita, was to arouse an immense chorus of praise and true admiration. [ From 'Garabandal' Book,by Jacques Serre, page 233 ]
The Warning is for everyone, including children. Conchita: “The Blessed Virgin told me (during a two-hour apparition at the pines January 1, 1965) that a warning would be given before the miracle. The warning is a thing that comes directly from God. No one can escape it. “ “The Village Speaks” by Ramon Perez, page 51 Interview with Jacinta conducted by Barry Hanratty April 16,1983 for the “ GARABANDAL” magazine. Q. When the Warning comes it will be seen and felt by everyone on earth. Does this include little children who have not yet reached the age of reason? A. Yes. That's why we felt sorry for them because it was such a terrifying experience.
I know many here have expressed their concern for their children at the Warning ,so I want to address this issue. The Bible says MT 6:26 "Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? Each person and child will be dealt with according to his capacity to understand and to God's mercy. God sees their hearts, and intent. It's best to prepare your family for what is coming. Show them the videos I provide so at least they are not shocked when it happens. Pray for them too. GARABANDAL: THE WARNING This short 2 minute video will give you an explanation of what the “ Warning “ is, as revealed to Conchita and Mari Loli, by our Blessed Mother.
3 Girls went into a convent Many people have commented over the years “ Why didn’t the girls become Nuns after the apparitions ? Most people don’t know that actually 3 of the 4 girls did enter convents ! Conchita, Jacinta, and Mari Loli did for a short time, then left for different reasons, and became boarding students instead. Mary Cruz did not go at all. On February 7,1966 Conchita (on her 17th birthday) enters the Discalced Carmelites Missionaries of Pamplona. On February 13,1966 she has a locution from Jesus, where he tells her this was not his wish to be here. Both Jacinta and Mari Loli were 16 at the time they decided to enter a convent. On September 30, 1965 they left for the Sisters of Charity of St. Ann, in the Aragon town of Borja. Jesus said to Conchita: “ I choose you in the world, that is, in the normal condition of the faithful, so that you would remain in it. “ I guess our Lord had other plans and vocations for the girls, to remain in the world, and not hidden away in a convent.

Bishop Zamora : Says 2 masses in Garabandal ! On May 6, 2012 the current Bishop of Santandar ,Vincente Jimenez Zamora celebrated Mass in Garabandal in commemoration of the completion of the restoration of the village church. On May 1, 2013 the Bishop again celebrated Mass in the village church of Garabandal and prior to the Mass, KISSED A CRUCIFIX belonging to villager David Toribio, that WAS KISSED BY THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY AT GARABANDAL. Bishop Zamora's Masses in Garabandal were firsts, since no Bishop of Santandar had ever said Mass in the village church from the time of the apparitions. The reason I point this out is this Bishop was more accepting of the apparitions, and while he did not over rule the original ruling (Non-constat de supernaturalitate - It is not certain that the events are of supernatural origin. He waits for the Miracle and the approval. Sometimes actions can speak louder than words. Kissing the crucifix in public, demonstrates he must think the apparitions had validity.
TODAY IN GARABANDAL HISTORY: FEBRUARY 13, 1966: CHRIST'S FINAL AND VERY REMARKABLE LOCUTION TO CONCHITA "On Sunday, February 13, 1966, at the moment of thanksgiving after Communion, I received both a great joy and a yet greater distress, as well as a disappointment! I heard the voice of Christ telling me: "Conchita, you came here to the college to prepare yourself to become My bride and, as you say, to follow Me. Are you not saying, Conchita, that you do not want to do My will? Well, now, it is your will that you want to fulfill. Do you want to do like this all your life? I chose you in the world so that you may stay in it, so that you may face the many vexations that you will find there for My sake. I want all that for your sanctification, and so that you may offer this for the salvation of the world. You must speak to the world about Mary. "Conchita, did you feel My call to become My bride? No! Because I did not call you." I asked Him: "And how does one feel Your call to become a religious?" He told me: "Don't worry about that, you will not feel it." I asked Him: "Then You do not love me, Jesus?" He replied: "Conchita, you ask me that? Who redeemed you? Fulfill My will and you will find My love. Examine yourself well. Think more of others. Do not fear temptations. If you are faithful to My love, you will overcome the many temptations awaiting you. Be intelligent, understand what I told you in a spiritual way. Do not close the eyes of your soul. Do not let anyone deceive you. Love humility, simplicity. Never think that what you are doing is great. Think of what you have to do, of what you must do, not to merit Heaven, but to save the world so that it may fulfill My divine will. Every soul that prepares itself, every soul well disposed to hear Me, will know My will. Conchita, I wish to tell you that you will suffer a great deal from now on until the Miracle, for few will believe you. Even your family will think you deceived them. I am the One who has wanted all that. I told you so, for your sanctification and for the world to fulfill the Message. I want to warn you that the remainder of your life will be a continual suffering." "Do not be afraid. You will find Me in suffering, Me and Mary, whom you love so much." I asked Him if in Rome also I would not be believed and He did not answer me. Then He told me: "Do not worry about whether or not you are believed. I am the One who will do everything, but I will also give you suffering. I will be with whoever suffers for Me." [From 'Garabandal' Book ,by Jacques Serre. pages 206-207]
Jesus to Conchita : February 13, 1966 “Love humility, simplicity. Never think that what you are doing is great.” Imagine you are Conchita for a minute. You’ve seen and talked to the Blessed Mother for 4 years! Talked to Jesus in Locutions, and are the main Visionary messenger for the Garabandal prophecies, and you are told by Jesus: “Never think that what you are doing is great”. Well that should be a lesson for all of us to strive for humility in all that we do in life.
Will you respond? “Conchita, I have not come only for you… But I have come for all my children… With the desire to bring them closer to Our Hearts. I love you very much and I desire your salvation. Conchita, won't you respond to this?” – The Virgin Mary , Nov.13,1965 Have you spread our Blessed Mother’s message of Garabandal ? Have you invited anyone to this page ? Will you respond ?
Jacinta Points Out the Priest’s Presence Among the people who went up one day with us to Garabandal was a Military Air Force Chaplain. He was wearing only the insignias of his rank of Captain and he asked the priests present not to tell the girls that he was also a priest. His desire was carefully respected. That night Jacinta fell into ecstasy and the pastor, Father Valentín, as was his custom, asked her how many priests were present. The girl gave the correct number of those in cassocks and added, “And one of those who go by plane. This is his name.” Returning home with us at 4 o’clock in the morning, the chaplain could not stop telling me of his astonishment and emotions.- Father José Ramon Garcia de la Riva. “Memoirs of a Spanish Country Priest” by Father José Ramon Garcia de la Riva, Page 22
The 3 “Days of Darkness” and the “Chastisement” Many people ask me to compare the prophecy of the "Three Days of Darkness" attributed to the late mystic, Blessed Anna Maria Taigi, and the “CHASTISEMENT” mentioned at Garabandal. (The term "3 days" was NEVER used in Garabandal.) We have one description from Conchita ,and one from Mari Loli as to one aspect of the event, whereas Blessed Anna's is more detailed and descriptive. They do same one common theme of “ FIRE”. Here is Conchita's statement on what the Blessed Mother allowed her to say about the "Chastisement" : “The Chastisement is conditional and depends on whether or not mankind heeds the messages of the Blessed Virgin and the Miracle. If it should take place, I know what it will consist of, because the Blessed Virgin told me about it, but I am not permitted to say what it is. Moreover, I have seen the Chastisement. I can assure you that if it comes, it will be worse than being enveloped in fire, worse than having fire above and beneath you. I do not know how much time will elapse between the Miracle and the Conditional Chastisement.“ THE APPARITIONS OF GARABANDAL”, Francisco Sanchez-Venture y Pascual . Ch. 12 pg. 179 On the feast of the Holy Rosary, October 7, 1962, Maria Herrero de Gallardo was in Garabandal and took the occasion to question Mari Loli about the visions of June 19-20, 1962 (the Nights of the Screams), and what she and the other visionaries could possibly have seen to cause them to cry out in such a terrifying manner. Sefiora Herrero reported: "Oh!" exclaimed the girl. "That was horrible to see. We were really frightened, and I know no words that could explain it. We saw rivers change into blood.... Fire fell from the sky.... And something much worse still, which I'm not able to reveal now." From : (SHE WENT IN HASTE TO THE MOUNTAIN) BK 2 Ch.7 pg. 196 Prophecy of Blessed Anna Maria Taigi "The wind will howl and roar. Lightning and thunderbolts of an unprecedented magnitude will strike the earth. The whole earth will shake, heavenly bodies will be disturbed (this will be the beginning of the Three Days). Every Demon, every evil spirit will be released from hell and allowed to roam the earth. Terrifying apparitions will take place. Many will die from sheer fright. Fire will rain forth from the sky, all large cities will be destroyed, poisonous gases will fill the air, cries and lamentations everywhere. The unbelievers will burn in the open like withered grass. The entire earth will be afflicted; it will look like a huge graveyard.” “The Last Warnings”: By Jerald James So in my opinion, all 3 visions are talking about the same event.
It wont fit here, but I was able to post the video of Joey Lomangino's first appearance on Mother Angelica LIVE show August 4, 1995 on my English facebook page.
Hi Glenn, I am from Ireland & have been promoting Garabandal since the early 1970's We have hosted Joey here at least 5 times, all to packed halls. i used the Dick Everson film & before that a slide show. We also had Fr Pelletier & Charlie Mailloux. An American {I forget his name) brought the first slide show to a Church hall in Dublin. I was very impressed & am still promoting Garabandal through internet work.. Well done on your own efforts.
Thank you. I received a healing from Joey's medal in 1973,and joined him in 1993 at the NY Center. I have expanded now into 12 languages on facebook, and adding more soon. I just posted 2 of Joey's appearances on Mother Angelica on my English page, if any of your members would like to see him again. God bless you and keep up your promotions !
Conchita must suffer too. “Conchita’s Diary” p204, 1966 : He [Jesus] replied..."I want to tell you, Conchita, that before the miracle occurs, you will suffer much, for few people will believe you. Your own family will believe that you have deceived them. I am the one who wants all this, as I have already told you, for your sanctification and so that the world may comply with the message. I wish to advise you that the remainder of your life will be a continual suffering. Do not be frightened. In your suffering you will find me and also Mary whom you love very much... I will be with whoever suffers for me." How many people know about Garabandal, after she gave 20 + years of interviews? The demands put on her as a child and teenager, worst of all from the Church. How many people believe her ? Suffering the trial of the "dark night" that St. John of the Cross spoke of. She has survived a cancer scare, lost her Husband to cancer. Has moved several times, so she can have some privacy. You have no idea the burden of having to also keep a date, a secret from your family, friends, and the world,and that’s just for starters. Pray for her, she knows burdens you never will.
