Very interesting. I tried searching for where the trip to Moscow came up. The closest I could find is that there was an interview of Conchita by José Luis Gutiérrez where she allegedly said this, but I cannot find a transcript of it. I feel like the Church needs a Wikipedia for visions and miracles with citations.
Documentation of the famous quote that " The pope will go to Moscow", prior to the "Warning". “ THE POPE IN RUSSIA, AT MOSCOW,THEN THE BEGINNING OF THE DIFFICULT PRE-AVISO PERIOD “ On that day, Mari-Loli and Conchita received new and prophetic revelations about the future tribulations of the brief but very difficult time of the “Pre-Aviso” ( Pre-Warning) . Conchita also said during her ecstasy that “ Communism will also come back in Spain”. The Blessed Virgin also predicted to the visionary that “ the Pope would go to Russia, to Moscow”, a trip absolutely unthinkable in the political climate of the 1960’s. She also added among other important things, that “ As soon as the Sovereign Pontiff would return to the Vatican, successive violent persecutions would break out here and there in Europe”. These would be signs that the world, and particularly the Church (people would then believe that She will be on the point of disappearing, etc. ) were entering into the relatively short yet very difficult period of the Pre-Warning. From the book : “ GARABANDAL, Appartitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary" -J. Serre, p.133 Conchita ,age 13 (at the time of her message).
Does the book have a citation for this? I am not arguing just curious if it ties back to the José Luis Gutiérrez interview in 1965 or if this was simply what was documented in 1962. It also says in the caption under the photo that SJPII will be the last Pope, implying it will be him making the voyage. Who did this come from?
Simply documented from 1962. And NOT the last Pope. The Last Pope and then a beginning of a New Era. A New Epoch! That’s what Blessed Mother said. Many interpreted the last Pope as the last one ever. There was more to the quote-specifically-with death of Pope Benedict XVI marked the end of an Era & beginning of a New Epoch. (It was 4 Popes not the originally thought 3) St Pope Paul VI, JP1-who was not counted Bec of his short reign as Conchita detailed later per Blessed Mother-JPII and then Pope Benedict XVI. Then with Pope Francis began the New Era or New Epoch!
Excellent, thank you. And this makes sense given the nature of the lightning strike on the Vatican when PBXVI stepped down.
Both authors of the book Jacques Serre, and Beatrice Caux were in Garabandal for quite some time, so I believe that this is their recollection in this book. I might also add that the 3 "quotes" under the picture are not attributed to a specific person or visionary, and may have been inserted by the authors taking some "poetic license ". I have never heard any visionary say JPII was going to Garabandal, never said he specifically will see the Miracle. I back this up with a quote from an interview Conchita did in June of 1978 with Fr. Benac: Fr.Benac: Regarding the Pope, I understand that Our Lady said he would see the Miracle from wherever he was. Is that correct? Did she refer to the present Pope? Conchita: No. When I said that, Pope John XXIII was reigning. She did not say which Pope, just simply "the Pope."
When the worldwide Warning prophesied by the Virgin Mary in Garabandal occurs, it is very likely that the Pope will travel there, since this event is something unprecedented and transcendent for the Catholic Church. Don't you think so?
In a single sentence, Our Mother would have made two prophecies: 1. There are only three popes left, and then it will be the "end of time." 2. As if to assure us that the first statement is true, Our Mother offers us a sign: there will indeed be one more pope, but his pontificate will be so brief that I am not including him in this announcement. We all know who that pope is, whose pontificate is so short that it has no influence on the destiny of the Church: John Paul I, who was pope from August 26, 1978, until his death on September 28, 1978. With his 33-day pontificate, Pope Luciani exactly fulfills this exceptional prediction, impossible to foresee in 1963. The three popes in the announcement would, therefore, be Paul VI, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI. And after the arrival of Pope Francis, the time would have begun in which the "end of times" should arrive. The pandemic marks the first milestone in this new era in which we have been called to live. The Virgin Mary offers us the possibility of being saints by keeping our faith intact. Finally, my Immaculate Heart will triumph," says the Virgin Mary. May the Holy Spirit permeate your hearts.
There is no interview in which Conchita or any other visionary speaks about the Pope's trip to Russia, and this topic is crucial because it marks the beginning of serious events. Another hoax circulating online: Regarding the Warning, and before it happens (The Warning), the situation in the Church will be very bad, to the point that a painful and devastating event will occur. In fact, Serafim, Conchita González's older brother, said he heard his sister Conchita (one of the four visionaries) during an ecstasy, announcing that the Warning would come after a painful rupture in the Church, "a kind of schism." Thus, the coming Warning will be associated with a painful mystery that will haunt the Church. Likewise, Mari-Loli, one of the four girls from Garabandal, also said that at that time "the Pope could not be in Rome openly... that they would persecute him and that he would have to hide..." And that this would happen before the Warning. - On the other hand, it is known that in the future Miracle of Garabandal, the "Pope will see the Miracle wherever he is," which may indicate that he will not be in the Vatican at that time.
Just so you know, the Warning happens unexpectedly ,where ever you are, no one travels anywhere to see it. Maybe you are thinking about the " Miracle" at the Pines of Garabandal, that is where people will travel to.
Conchita has never mentioned this future event: the schism in the Church. The visionaries have been very careful and cautious about observing the dates or events that mark the beginning of the warning. The end times are coming, but the future is being built day by day, and many people are being called to the Church. There are new youth movements, for example in Spain with Hakuna, that are bringing back thousands of souls who had abandoned their faith. Hundreds of millions of us pray the rosary every day and take communion every day in an attempt to reverse the changes. I don't believe God will ignore all these pleas.
You are incorrect. Conchita CLEARLY add to her original statement that Mary said the was 4 POPES , not 3, as one had a very short reign, JPI, 33 days. She also said THE END OF THE TIMES" NOT THE END OF TIME. Lets try to get the quotes correct when posts when your whole point is built on incorrect quotes.
Another post with misinformation. I have documented proof that Conchita told her Brother Serifin about a future "Schism " . Time to start reading up more or limit your misleading posts. SCHISM A passage from “ She went in haste to the Mountain” :BY EUSEBIO GARCIA DE PESQUERA, O.F.M., CAP. BOOK 3 https://ourlady.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Garabandal_Book3.pdf Later Conchita wrote it down briefly on the back of a holy card of the Child Jesus, which Serafin (Conchita's Brother) keeps concealed and which none of the family has seen. And she told him that it would occur WHEN A DEFINITVE EVENT IN THE CHURCH TOOK PLACE, and she also explained it to him. Only in this way does Serafin know the date of the miracle..... Later Serafin and I discussed the following excerpt from a leaflet written by Dr. Puncernau: “ During one of my trips to the pastures, I was alone with Serafin and we were eating in the barn. After eating, I tried to draw him out since it was said that he knew from Conchita when the Miracle would be. I drew the conclusion that if he knew, he didn't want to say. The only thing that I got definitely from him was that it would be preceded by a SPECIAL HAPPENING IN THE CHURCH. After many questions and answers, it seemed clear to me from his vague remarks that it would be something LIKE A SCHISM. That is the way I understood it.” — And what do you say about Dr. Puncernau's opinion? I asked Serafin. —” He is free to think what he wants. But I don't think I gave him reasons for such an opinion.” — But will this happening actually be a schism in the Church? —” I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY.”
OCTOBER 22: FEAST DAY OF SAINT (Pope) JOHN PAUL II The feast day of Saint John Paul II is October 22nd. This date is celebrated to commemorate the anniversary of his papal inauguration in 1978, not his death date of April 2nd. It is a day to remember his life, ministry, and his proclamation to the world, "Be not afraid”. Pope John Paul II & Garabandal. During a special general audience with the Pope at the Vatican ... "special" because it was held on Saturday, rather than the usual Wednesday... Father Robert introduced Garabandal Visionary Mari-Loli and family to him. Father Robert who was holding 7 year old Maria Dolores, one of the three Lafleur children, said to the Pope: "Your Holiness, a special blessing for your littlest children who come on behalf of The Blessed Virgin from Garabandal." Our Holy Father exclaimed "Garabandal!" (picture below ) From “ A walk to Garabandal” Revised Edition , Ed Kelly, page 305
"There will be a Synod," very well. (It has already happened.) "People will have trouble attending Mass; they will have to do so clandestinely." (That has already happened in Spain with COVID). People couldn't leave their homes. Four months of being arrested in our homes! But that doesn't quickly trigger the events (the Warning). Rather, they are data like "four popes, but I'm not taking one into account because he won't be around for long." As for the Trip to Russia and the schism in the Church, these are events that mark a start date very close to what? The Warning. Therefore, the visionaries should have confirmed it in their public interviews and not have to rely on unfounded gossip on social media.
They DID CONFIRM in many interviews, but in older books and magazines which unfortunately people dont bother reading. That's why I can post them here, I HAVE READ EVERYTING they have ever said. I had access to all Joey's early magazines and the Editor Barry Hanratty everyday at the NY Center. Its the fault of the internet onlookers who dont bother doing their due diligence, NOT the girls.
Hello, Glenn, the story about the trip to Russia only came to light less than five years ago. I'd have to review the first editions of those books because I have the feeling they've changed them.
No thats not true., Again maybe for you, I had the information from Jacques Serre's book in 1999 !! This is the difference, nobody reads or researches as much as I do, not to mention personal conversations with Conchita. So lets ease up on all the negative posts, because you can mislead others unitentionally by your posts.
