Dr. Luis Morales changes mind on Garabandal ! On September 3, 1978, my first visit with Dr. Morales was recorded in its totality with his consent and lasted two hours. During the interview he was somewhat reserved in explaining his change of position on Garabandal and finally, because of my insistence, he said, "Now I see the existential reality of Our Lady in Garabandal. I think of Garabandal as Fatima: a gift of Divine Providence for humanity. Garabandal truly is a gift to us from Christ through his Mother..." At the end of the interview he answered my last question by saying, "Oh, yes! Garabandal has been a manifestation of Divine Grace...!" A typed copy of this conversation was presented to Bishop del Val. He reacted with a mixture of surprise and satisfaction to the change of opinion of Dr. Morales. Signed: Father Francis A. Benac, S.J., Reprinted with kind permission from GARABANDAL JOURNAL November-December 2005 February 8, 1979, I had a second interview with Dr.Morales and found him calm, happier and very open. In this friendly atmosphere he answered my pointed questions by saying that he accepted Garabandal as supernatural and that the messages came directly from God. Then he told me how, a month before his wife died of cancer, he had borrowed from another cancer patient a crucifix kissed by the Virgin of Garabandal and presented it to his wife to kiss. Her pains disappeared and she remained with interior peace until the end. He also told me, with evident joy, that the patient from whom he'd borrowed the crucifix miraculously recovered completely from his cancer and now works in a bank. Signed: Father Francis A.

Padre Pio blesses crucifix kissed by Mary Needles Interview with Conchita , February 9,1975 Conchita: “I remember I had the crucifix kissed by our lady and I said to Padre Pio “This is the cross kissed by the Blessed Mother, would you bless it? He then took the crucifix kissed by our lady and placed it in the palm of his left hand over the stigmata. Then he took my hand and placed it in his palm, closing his fingers over my hand with his right hand, he blessed my hand and the cross. I was kneeling in front of him the whole time I was there. he started holding my hand with the cross while he was talking to me. “ ( Reprinted in “Garabandal Journal” Jan-March 2023, pages 6 & 7
I will be off line for a week, but one of our members here and a very good friend of mine and Garabandal promoter, John will be posting until I return.
Hello, Glenn/John according to the studies of Professor Yague of Spain there will be physical aspect to the warning in that the planet will react strongly to the asteroid? whizzing past us and that humanity will suffer as a consequence of that. Do the seers of Garabandal confirm that there will also be a physical dimension to the warning besides the spiritual aspect?
On this topic we have this from Conchita: DO 2 STARS COLLIDE AT THE WARINING? Conchita said in August of 1980 that an event that will start the Warning would be an event in the sky that: " To me, it's like two stars... that crash and make a lot of noise and a lot of light but they don't fall". In my opinion, it does not have to physically be 2 actual stars, but it only “looked like” that to her. ( best way to describe it ) Notice if 2 stars actually collided, there would be the debris falling to earth, but she mentions specifically " they don't fall ". It might be possible that a nuclear missile could be intercepted in space by a anti-ballistic missile, causing the huge explosion, and that would also explain why there is no debris, as there would be if two real stars collided. Remember that the Warning comes “ when things are at their worst”. (This could refer to God preventing a World War 3). If it were Asteroids colliding there would be A LOT of debris ! It’s possible that God just makes a brilliant burst of light . (This way there is no harm from anything falling to earth). I guess we wait and see.
Thank you! I'm asking God to supernaturally carry me thru every day. The world is experiencing such birthing pains...
MORNING OFFERING PRAYER Our Blessed Mother said in Garabandal on October 18th, 1961, "We must make many sacrifices, perform much penance, and visit the Blessed Sacramentfrequently. But first, we must lead good lives. " In 1945 Jesus told Lucia, the seer of Fatima, "The sacrifice and penance I now seek and require isthe fulfillment of your state in life and the observance of my laws." Whatever your state in life may be you can sanctify all your daily actionsif upon arising you recite sincerely the morning offering prayer. Through the "Morning Offering of Reparation" every act you do becomes asacrifice. The word "sacrifice" means to make "holy." Once you have made your morning offering you make "holy" every act you do throughout the day. Whatever trial God permits to pass your way during the day becomes a penance — whether it be work, bad weather, rebellious children, sickness in the family, tight economic conditions or misunderstandings by relatives or friends. All these sacrifices andpenances obtain graces the Blessed Virgin needs for the conversion of sinners. Padre Pio said it best, "If you knew the value ofsuffering, you wouldn't give it up."
The Brown Scapular When Mary appeared as Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, wearing the Brown Scapular over her arm, she instantly sent a message of its importance. It also connected the Brown Scapular to the devotionsMary talked about (the rosary, the morning offering, etc) to the Garabandal messages. Mary has appeared in four apparitions with the Brown Scapular. Aylesford in 1251 Lourdes 1858 Fatima 1917 Garabandal 1961-65
GREAT BEGINNER VIDEO ! For those new members who would like a brief but detailed explanation of the Marian Apparitions at Garabandal,Spain (or to share this with family or friends who don’t know about Garabandal) a short video by actor Ricardo Montalban.
Confession At Garabandal the Blessed Virgin reinforced the importance of personal confession. When interviewed in April of 1983, visionary Jacinta Moynihan was asked: "Did the Blessed Virgin ever speak to you about the Sacrament of Reconciliation?" She replied: "Yes she did. Now there are people who want to do away with it, but the Virgin said it was “muy importante“ — “very important." “Confession is the soul’s bath. You must go at least once a week. I do not want souls to stay away from confession more than a week. Even a clean and unoccupied room gathers dust; return after a week and you will see that it needs dusting again!”- -St. Pio (Padre Pio).
WHEN WILL THE WARNING HAPPEN ? (PRE-WARNING CRITERIA) We were not given the exact time & date, but we were given 3 clues as to when the Warning is approaching soon. The three clues were after a Synod, (one concluded in late 2024) also “when Communism comes again “and the global effects of Communism, especially religious persecution the Holy Mass cannot be celebrated freely anymore, and lastly the Pope returning from a visit to Moscow, Russia (and hostilities breaking out in Europe ). When all 3 have taken place, we are very close to the Warning ! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mary Loli on Communism: Mrs. Christine Bocabeille then asked Mari Loli: "If you are not allowed to tell me the exact year [of the Warning], perhaps you could tell me approximately when it will happen." "Yes, it will be at that time when the world will most need it." "When is that?" "When Russia will unexpectedly and suddenly overrun and overwhelm a great part of the free world. God does not want this to happen so quickly. In any case the Warning will come when you will see that Holy Mass cannot be celebrated freely anymore; then it will be that the world will most need the intervention of God." From the book :[SHE WENT IN HASTE TO THE MOUNTAIN]
The Great Miracle & 8 DAY NOTICE The “extremely great” Miracle which Conchita mentions in her Diary is more fully discussed in the notes she gave Francisco Sanchez-Ventura, author of “The Apparitions of Garabandal” : “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.” Conchita’s Diary: "The Blessed Virgin advised me of a great miracle, saying that God, Our Lord, would perform it through her intercession. Just as the chastisement will be very, very great, in keeping with the needs of the world. The Blessed Virgin has told me the date of the miracle and what it will consist of. I am supposed to announce it eight days in advance, so that people will come. On September 14, 1965, Conchita said: “The sign that will remain forever at the pines is something we will be able to photograph, televise and see, but not touch. It will be evident that it is not a thing of this world but from God.” At another time, concerning the Great Miracle, she added that, “it would last about 15 minutes.” On August 10, 1971, while talking to a group of Americans, she offered this revealing information: “It will take place on or between the eighth and sixteenth of March, April or May. It will not happen in February or June.” We know when Conchita is going to make the Miracle announcement roughly. Miracle in April (8-16) so her announcement has to be from March 31-April 8,
Girls, no pain while in ecstasy ! The “Commission “ doctors ,in trying to discredit the girls claim of being in the presence of our Lady (while in ecstasy ) , put the girls through a number of seemly torturous tests,yet they were unharmed . For example, when pinching and poking the girls got no reaction, they resorted to sticking them with pins and needles, trying to see if a lighted match would burn them, throwing sand in their eyes, to try and make them blink or react. Flashing camera bulbs in their eyes to try and make them blink but failed, or trying to pick them up and drop them on their knees, but 2 men couldn’t pick them up, as if they were bolted to the ground ! These events failed to disprove the girls claims of their vision of Mary and only convinced the onlookers and the Doctors of its authenticity.
The girls vision during ecstasy. The girls viewed the apparition (Mary ), being in its light, hearing its words; but they did not see nor were they aware of the public, although they knew that the public was there since the apparition told them of this many times. The girls in their vision saw each other; however if one of them came out of the ecstasy and the others did not, the ones in the ecstasy no longer saw the one who was not in it. If she went back into ecstasy they would see her. “She went in haste to the Mountain” Ch.5 p.95
