Why did Conchita move to America ? There was no chance of her having a realistic life there in the village. Everyday she had people telling her what to do, and it would be impossible for her to go outside or even do her chores because of the countless visitors wanting to see her, talk to her, question her, touch her ( as if she had powers to heal ),that is why her mother sent her away at 17 to another town for her education . Later at age 23 she came to America. A famous Spanish/American Radio personality and Physician in NY, Dr. Jeronimo Dominguez, knew her from his visits to Garabandal, offered to bring her over, and provide housing and a vocation in his medical practice. Conchita said: " I remember my village caused me to suffer. I felt as if I was imprisoned. I acted by the commands of others who constantly advised me " Go to mass, Pray the rosary, Do this, Give up that ". At times I thought I would be happy in a hermitage away from everyone, and to work there alone for God and see what I was capable of doing without their forever telling me." November 25, 1966 It is interesting how 3 of the 4 girls, moved to America for privacy.
Dear Gleen After the Pope's return from Moscow, Russia is supposed to attack and flood the Free West. That could mean a 3rd World War (NATO case) and unfortunately also a nuclar attack is not excluded. Can you say something about the source or background, which is why there should be no 3rd World War?
MARY: NO WORLD WAR 3 The first source of reference is Joey Lomangino who has known the visionary since 1963. Joey vividly recalls Conchita telling him that the Virgin said there would not be a third world war. According to Joey, there may be skirmishes or limited wars between countries but not a global conflict. A second source of reference is Anne Mequeli from Brentwood, New York. Anne, a dedicated worker for the New York Center Scapular Committee, is a good friend of Conchita’s and frequently attends the visionary’s monthly holy hour to ‘pray for priests’. She gives the following testimony: One night in Conchita’s house, everyone was talking about the ‘Cuban Crisis’ when Conchita said to me, “At that time in my village, all the people feared a third world war and everyone had radios close to their ears waiting to hear of such a war. But I had an apparition at the time and the Blessed Virgin told me, ‘No World War Three.” Third source of reference is a taped conversation between Conchita and Bishop Franciso Garmendia, Auxillary Bishop of New York, on August 27, 1981. In answer to the Bishop’s question about the ‘end of times,’ Conchita responded: “I don’t know if you remember but in France they were saying that in 1962 world war would break out—she (The Virgin) told us that there would never be another world war. Everybody, in fact, was frightened that day, including me, when the Virgin appeared and said, “Don’t be afraid because there will never be a world war.” http://www.garabandal.us/prph_other ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now it is also quite possible that we could be on the "brink of WW3" , and the “Warning” prevents it from happening, which would be what the girls said “things would be at their worst, before the Warning”.
Sunday 5-8-22 We are celebrating “ Mother’s Day” here in America today , so it made me think of these quotes by Mother Mary. A “Happy Mother’s Day “ to all my members who are beloved Mothers. MARY: MOTHER TO ALL Our Lady responded at Garabandal, to the attempt to minimize her importance, by proclaiming her rightful universal motherhood. In the second formal Message are her words: "I, your Mother, ask you to amend your lives." And in her final appearance to Conchita (June 18,1965) she said: "Talk to me about my children. I hold them all beneath my mantle." “Affirmations of the Faith at Garabandal” From GARABANDAL JOURNAL Nov-Dec. 2002 __________________________________________________________________ “ Fr. Valentin was struck by the addition of “Our Mother” to the recitation of the Hail Mary. And he was not the only one. Luis Navas, the Lawyer from Palencia, who was present that day,wrote: “ We had never heard them say it this way” Mother of God, and our Mother”. (Note: Our Lady told the Visionaries that she liked it very much but told them it should not be used publicly unless it was approved by the Church). From : “She went in haste to the Mountain’’ From : GARABANDAL JOURNAL Nov.-Dec. 2005
Hi Glenn, Please wish a Happy Mother's Day to Conchita, to your wife and to your daughter-in-law. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers on MOG and anyone that I missed.+
SILVIO LEONTI PASSED ON MAY 9,2014 I just wanted to remember a good friend from the NY Garabandal Center who passed away on this day. Silvio Leonti and his wife Rachel ran the NY Garabandal Center for 40 years ! (for Joey Lomangino ). Those of you who visited the center remember him as a gentle man, who always had a kind word and a smile. Silvio and Rachel devoted almost half their life to this apostolate . Silvio was 90 when he passed. Remember him today in your prayers , as a devoted ,tireless worker for our Blessed Mother and her messages.
LEG MIRACULOUSLY CURED ! We have some brief notes from Father Valentin that complement those of Luis Navas and Maximina Gonzalez, helping us to better recreate in our minds the atmosphere at Garabandal during the early part of August, 1962: August 22. The four fell into ecstasy; first Loli and Conchita; afterwards, Jacinta; and finally, Mari Cruz. The latter, on coming down from the Pines, went to the house of Daniela (who was in bed, with her leg in bad condition making it impossible for her to walk). And she gave her the crucifix to kiss. Daniela jumped from the bed and said she was cured. I think there might have been some suggestion, but she jumped up and went up the stairs as if there were nothing wrong with her. We will see what happens tomorrow. Father Valentin did not hide his disbelief that this was really a miraculous cure. However Father de la Riva added to the words of the Garabandal pastor some of his own: "I was at the village, and I heard the joyful shouts of the people who had seen what had happened, and were discussing it as if it were a miracle. I was able to see later that there was no natural explanation for what happened. Daniela went to have an x-ray taken and a complete cure was reported. She is now married and has children, which wouldn't have been possible with the disease she had in her hip." “She went in haste to the Mountain”-pg 165 This story has special meaning to me personally , as it was a miraculous cure to my own legs as a boy, that brought me to know and get involved with Joey, The “Kissed Medal”, Garabandal, and Padre Pio. Sometimes we don’t understand or appreciate how a physical handicap can actually be a blessing from God , until later on.
RUSSIA CONVERTED On July 20,1963 Conchita left the Church saying that she had had an intimate conversation with Our Lord. A Priest asked her to relate the circumstances in writing. Then the girl took a piece of paper and a pencil, and wrote these lines spontaneously with great ease. I was making my thanksgiving and praying for things. He answered me… And I said to Him: Conchita— “Why is the miracle coming? To convert many people? “ Jesus— “To convert the whole world.” Conchita -“Will Russia be converted? “ Jesus-” It also will be converted, and so everyone will love Our Hearts. “ Locution on July 20,1963 From: “Conchita’s Diary“-Chapter 7 “ GARABANDAL MAGAZINE” April-June Issue, 1988
Conchita’s reaction to Internet Gossip & Lies I was talking to Conchita one day in April 2014, and I was telling her how much I hate the lies and gossip on the internet against her and our Blessed Mothers messages of Garabandal, and she said it didn’t bother her. I said “why ?” She said “ I don’t have anything to hide from God, so I don’t worry about what anyone else thinks”. Fr. Ramon Andreu noted in “Conchita’s Diary” “ Conchita seems unconcerned about public opinion, She does not care whether opinion is favorable or adverse, the child remains in the objective narration of the pure truth, which she defends with an unshakable firmness”. Cited in “ Garabandal: Message of Hope”, Fr. L. Saaverdra, pg 52

TODAY IN GARABANDAL HISTORY May 13, 1967 The Archbishop of Madrid, Casimiro Morcillo Gonzalez , issued a letter on May 13,1967, to the Bishop of Tacna in Peru, five days after the death of Bishop of Santandar Puchol Montis, stated : “ The apparitions of Garabandal are a confirmation of those at Fatima fifty years ago. The Virgin Mary came once more to insist in Spain what she had already told three shepherds at the Cova da Iria : The bitter cup is not only filled , it is spilling over”. I personally see a great parallel between Fatima and Garabandal. The children saw the Virgin at the exclusion of others. The Virgin smiled at them. She promised them Heaven. She asked that they spread her message of the Rosary, penance and prayers for sinners. “ If there is a small difference in the last message, it is precisely its great clarity and the extent to which it admonishes the faithful, priests, and even Bishops. “ “There are therefore, sufficient reasons for the Holy Father Pope Paul VI to tell Conchita during their meeting of January 19,1966: “Conchita I bless you and with me the entire Church blesses you.” The phrase evidences the concern on the part of the Holy Father for the ruin that is sought to be introduced into the Church via false reforms.” And the Bishop of Tacna who relayed this to the Secretary of the Apostolic Papal Nuncio in Lima, added: “ Personally I suggest to your reverence that the events of Garabandal contribute to the enrichment of those of Fatima”.

CONCHITA'S LETTER:” anything coming from God is good” The letter below was sent from Conchita to a friend . I called her to confirm the letter and get permission to post it here for your benefit. (Conchita to me ) I send you this letter that I wrote a few days ago, in case it might help a sick person : “ANYTHING COMING FROM GOD IS GOOD FOR US.” Even illness is a gift of God in our life. I had and I experienced that illness and healing are the same thing, a mysterious gift of God. More than five years ago, while playing (at the beach ) sea with one of my granddaughters, the sun burned my face. When my skin was burned, a dark freckle appeared. I felt it was a melanoma, a cancer. During all these years, I hid it so no one would comment. Day after day and year after year, seeing how the freckle continued to grow, increased in me the certainty and fear of cancer. But I had the feeling that my soul was being cleaned as everything that bothered me. To be happy with true happiness, which is to live focused on one goal, going to Heaven. Until three weeks ago, the freckle continued to grow and a tumor formed under the freckle, so difficult to hide anymore. So I decided to put a bandage so that nobody would tell me anything .. Meanwhile, I was praying to God for my health, so that he will take away this freckle, but inside me, I felt that it was what I needed, for my good. My daughter, a nurse seeing how it grew up, went to see the doctor. the same afternoon, I changed the dressing to a smaller one because I was going to a basketball game of my nephews. Removing the bandage, the freckle with the tumor opened as if someone had cut it all around, some blood came out. I showed it to my daughter and told her: Cancel the consultation with the doctor, at that time I knew that I was cured, I put the bandage and I went to the match. The next day, when I woke up, the bandage had fallen and my face showed no trace of the tumor. I thanked God, I felt in my soul that he said: Give me Thanks also for the Cross. I realized that years with fear of cancer suffering were as good and miraculous as healing. I wanted to write this experience in case someone reads it and is sick, so that he also thinks that it’s good for him. Although he does not want to accept it, one day he will feel the need to give a kiss to God, in thanks. Conchita
