This must be an example of infused grace. To have such spiritual understanding at 14 is truly remarkable. How could a 14 year old have such profound understanding of the Eucharist unless Divine light had revealed it? Beautiful and wonderful. These words have made my day already.
Don't try to test our Blessed Mother ! Two couples approached Conchita and gave her four wedding rings, so that in her next ecstasy she would give them to be kissed by the Virgin. As Conchita offered the rings to Our Lady, she was heard to say: "You don't want to kiss them? But I don't understand. Ah! So I have to tell them to straighten out their lives and be good?" After the ecstasy, Conchita returned the rings to the man who had given them to her and told him and his companions what the Virgin had said. He was very embarrassed and said, "We came here to prove Garabandal was false if the girls gave us back the rings on our fingers, because none of us are married and we only bought the rings for this occasion."

Thanks so much, Glenn. I look forward to re-watching this without having to tax my brain! I'll let friends know about it. Safe Under Mary's Mantle!
Garabandal and the Holy Shroud of Turin Only after Father Eusebio Garcia de Pesquera had written his comprehensive book on Garabandal, “SHE WENT IN HASTE TO THE MOUNTAIN”, did it come to light that the Shroud was mentioned at Garabandal. It was during one of Conchita's ecstasies when the Blessed Virgin spoke to the visionary about the Sabana Santa (Spanish for Holy Shroud). Among the spectators at that ecstasy was the Marquesa de Santa Maria, an excellent witness, and it was from her that Prof. Jacques Serre learned what the Virgin said about the Shroud. The Marquesa heard Conchita repeat the words of Our Lady: "It is the divine imprint of my Son."
CONCHITA SPEAKS ABOUT THE GREAT MIRACLE ! "I am the only one to whom the Blessed Virgin spoke of the Miracle. She forbade me to say what it will consist of. I can’t announce the date either until eight days before it is due to occur. What I can reveal is that it will coincide with an event in the Church and with the feast of a saint, martyr of the Eucharist; that it will take place at 8:30 on a Thursday evening; that it will be visible to all those who are in the village and surrounding mountains; that the sick who are present will be cured and the incredulous will believe. It will be the greatest miracle that Jesus will have performed for the world. There won’t be the slightest doubt that it comes from God and that it is for the good of mankind. A sign of the Miracle—un señal del milagro—which it will be possible to film or televise, will remain forever—para siempre—at the pines.” “The Apparitions of Garabandal:” by Francisco Sanchez-Ventura,
TODAY IN GARABANDAL HISTORY: JULY 10, 1963: CHRIST'S FIRST LOCUTION TO CONCHITA. TOWARDS THE "CONVERSION OF RUSSIA AND THE WHOLE WORLD . . ." The first of the two very remarkable locutions of Christ to Conchita occurred in the village church. Conchita: "As I was giving thanks to God and asking Him for certain things, He replied. "I asked Him to give me a cross, for I experience no suffering in my life, except that of not having any crosses. As I was asking Him for that, Jesus replied: "Yes, I will give you a Cross." Very moved, I kept on asking for other things and I said to Him: "Why is the Miracle coming? To convert many people?" And He replied: "to convert the entire world -Para convertir al mundo entero" - [Our Lord was thus indicating the importance of the events of Garabandal.] "Will Russia be converted?" "Yes, it will be converted; thus everyone - todos - will love our Hearts." "Will the chastisement come after that?" He gave no reply. "Why do You come into my poor heart without any merit on my part?" "Because I do not come for you; I come for the whole world." "When the Miracle takes place, people will think I am the only one to have seen the Blessed Virgin." He replied: "I let you be the one who, by your sacrifices and patience in trials, will intercede with Me to perform the Miracle." And I said to Him, "Is it not better that I be with the four or that You take none of us for the intercession?" And He said, "No." "Will I go to Heaven?" And He replied, "Will you love our Hearts a great deal and will you pray to them?" "When will you give me the cross?" He did not answer me. "What will I be?" And He did not reply. He only told me that, wherever I am and whatever I am doing, I will have much to suffer. And I asked Him, "Will I die soon?" And He replied, "You must stay on earth to help people." And I said to Him, "I am of little importance, I will be unable to help You in any way." "Through your prayers and your suffering, you will help the world." "When we go to Heaven, are we dead when we go there?" And He said to me, "One never dies." I thought that we did not go to Heaven before we rose up again. I asked Him if St. Peter was at the door to greet us and He said, "No." When I was thus in prayer or in a conversation with God, I felt I was outside this world. Jesus told me that "Now more people love My Heart." On the subject of priests, he told me that I ought to pray a great deal for them, so that they may be saints and fulfill their duty well and make others better. "May they make Me known to those who do not know Me and make Me loved by those who know Me and do not love Me." From 'Garabandal' Book, by J. Serre, pages 175-176
IT'S 4 POPES , NOT 3 (Until the end of THE times) Conchita said after the death of JohnXXIII , there would be 4 more popes ,”until the end of THE times” ,(NOT the end of all time, NOT the end of the Popes either ) meaning a new era begins. This is the era we are now in ( after the 4 popes Paul VI, JP I, JP II, Benedict ) it is now that we will experience the WARNING & MIRACLE . Albrecht Weber, the author of the book “The Finger of God“, had become involved in Garabandal in 1963 and became friendly with Conchita. On November 14, 1965, the day after the last apparition of Our Lady in Garabandal, Mr. Weber interviewed Conchita at her home in the presence of her mother. There was also present with Mr. Weber an interpreter. During that interview, it came out that when Conchita had spoken, on the very day that Pope John XXIII died, of “Three more Popes and then would come the end of the times,” her mother had asked her several questions. In response to one of her mother’s questions, Conchita responded that Our Lady had actually said that there would be FOUR MORE POPES but that She was not counting one of them. When Conchita’s mother heard that she strictly forbade Conchita to repeat that again as her mother feared there would be erroneous interpretations and much gossip. People might wrongly believe that one of the Popes might be false or bad, etc. During that conversation with her mother, Conchita also said that Our Lady had told her that one of the Popes would have a very short reign. (which turned out to be Pope John Paul I only 33 days ! )
Placard placed where the Miracle of the Visible Host took place on July 18, 1962 TODAY IN GARABADNAL HISTORY :JULY 18-19, 1962 “ The Little Miracle “ Here was a miracle, announced 15 days in advance ! At about 1:40 am ,Conchita is in ecstasy, suddenly a host appears on her tongue ! There is a very large crowd present. Alejandro Damians with his borrowed movie camera, catches on film the instant the host appears. Here is the link to a video: (appears at the 2:45 mark ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0OGaMzxRsc
Therefore, according to my latest theory, it is very likely that the Virgin Mary was referring to a time frame tied to the Popes (and their life span). That is why Heaven transmitted this enigmatic prophecy: it surely means that, when Benedict XVI dies, the "End of Time" will begin.
Since is he officially " Pope Emeritus", I don't particularly feel that he has to die, for the new era to begin, when the Warning comes.
SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1964: A STUPENDOUS PROPHETIC REVELATION MADE TO CONCHITA ABOUT THE DECEASED FR. LUIS ANDREU Conchita, in a letter dated August 2, 1964, wrote this to Father Ramon Andreu: “On July 18 (1964), I had a locution in which I was told that on the day after the miracle your brother (Fr. Luis Andreu who had died ) would be removed from his grave and his body would be intact.” (On September 14, 1965, Conchita said: “That is what the Blessed Virgin told me, in a locution, that Fr. Luis would be incorrupt, exactly as he was buried.” This would also be a confirmation that the Miracle was from God . From the “ GARABANDAL” book, J. Serre, page 182
