The Apparitions of Garabandal

Description

++Lefebvre-ordained priest took the Garabandal apparitions seriously; they don't have doctrinal errors like Medjugorge.

+Williamson also was influenced by Garabandal a few months after his conversion. He saw it as the best application of traditional doctrine to current circumstances.

Her First Message to the world was on October 18, 1961:

Many SACRIFICES must be made... Much PENANCE must be done... We must pay many visits to the Blessed Sacrament... But first of all we must be VERY GOOD... Already the Cup is Filling, and if we do not change we shall be punished.

Conchita, Loli, Jacinta and Mari-Cruz

Second Message June 19, 1962

Tuesday, (June 19, 1962) "Loli and I were in the calleja (place near the first apparition) and She (The Virgin) told us a MESSAGE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD AND IT IS THIS: The Virgin has said to us that we are not awaiting the CHASTISEMENT (because we are disregarding Her First Message by the way we live)...BUT without awaiting it, IT WILL COME BECAUSE THE WORLD HAS NOT CHANGED... and now with this (Message) She has said it twice and we do not heed Her BECAUSE THE WORLD IS WORSE AND MUST CHANGE MUCH but has not changed at all. PREPARE YOURSELVES CONFESS for the CHASTISEMENT will come soon. The world continues the same and I think that the world has not changed at all.What a pity that it does not change. SOON THE GREAT CHASTISEMENT WILL COME IF IT (the world) DOES NOT CHANGE. This MESSAGE was given to Loli and me."

Third Message June 23, 1962 [Vatican II opened October 11, 1962]

"The Virgin has told us:The world continues the same...That it has not changed at all. FEW WILL SEE GOD. They are so few that it causes The Virgin much Sorrow. What a pity that it does not change. The Virgin told us that the Chastisement is coming seeing that the world is not changing. The cup is filling up. How sad the Virgin was although She didn't let us see it because She loves us so much and She suffers alone. She is so good! BE GOOD EVERYONE SO THAT THE VIRGIN WILL BE HAPPY. She told us that We who are good should pray for those who are bad. Let us pray to God for the world for those who do not know Him. Be good...be very good everyone"

Maria Dolores Mazon, Jacinta Gonzalez 13 years old

Our Lady's Message of June 18, 1965 [“Sacrosanctum Concilium” ratified before, Dec. 4, 1963]

Since my Message of October 18, 1961 has not been complied with and has not been made much known to the world, I will tell you that this is the last one. Before the chalice was filling now it is overflowing. MANY CARDINALS, MANY BISHOPS, AND MANY PRIESTS ARE ON THE PATH OF PERDITION AND THEY TAKE MANY SOULS WITH THEM. TO THE EUCHARIST, THERE IS GIVEN LESS AND LESS IMPORTANCE. We should avoid the Wrath of God on us by our good efforts. If you ask pardon with your sincere soul God will pardon you. It is I, Your Mother, who through the intercession of St. Michael, wish to say that you amend, that you are already in the last warnings and that I love you much and do not want your condemnation. Ask us sincerely and we will give to you. You should sacrifice more. Think of the Passion of Jesus.

Conchita Gonzales

Sanchez-Ventura y Pascual mentions Vatican II only once and en passante (ref:16.8).

When they spoke of the priests (always a favorite topic in the children's conversations with the Blessed Virgin), they remarked that one of them was wearing a white habit and "shoes with holes in the top", as they described his sandals. They could not recall his Order; it was too much for them. The Vision told them that he was a Dominican. "Yes, the 'Dominicu'." They were very pleased with themselves at having managed to remember it.

During one of these, the little girls said the Hail Mary with the inclusion of the following expression: “. . . Holy Mary, Mother of God and our Mother . . .” The Vision told them that she thought it was very nice, but that they should not use this formula again until it was introduced by the Church.

Ecstatic Falls

Royo Marin: “The positions of a person in ecstasy are highly varied, but always dignified and decorous.”

Ecstatic Walks

08/20/24Ecstatic Walks : 118

Royo Marin: "There have been saints who, during their ecstasy, used to speak with the object of their contemplative Vision and even advance in an ecstatic walk. In this respect, the cases of St. Catherine of Siena and St. Magdalena de Paccis are well-known examples.[†]

"Today is the happiest day of my life."

Fr. Royo Marin, O.P., told everybody where they were making for. "Run to the church. The children have got wings on their heels."

He was a witmess!

Royo Marin said to us: "Really and truly, the day one reaches God's arms is the happiest day of one's life."

Teologia de la Perfeccion Cristiana" Fr. Royo Marin says in connection with this: "We are going to group together a series of mystical phenomena which, although not visions, locutions or revelations, as such, are connected in a way with the mind, too. These are certain special talents for the arts and science that some people receive through divine inspiration ..."

Mari Loli then made as though to give the Vision the Marquesa de Santa Maria's wedding-ring, but, instead of removing it from the latter's finger, she took her hand and raised it to the Vision's lips, twisting the ring round so that she might kiss every part of it.

Though I am not infallible, as a specialist in these matters, I can assert the supernatural causes which, to my mind, are to be found in the phenomena that I have witnessed."

the obligation to express our opinion, for not to do so would be an act of rank scientific cowardice

My First Trip

08/20/24My First Trip : 184

A few days ago, I asked the children whether they had got accustomed to the idea of seeing the Blessed Virgin. Mari Loli came out with a very subtle reply. 'At this minute, I feel as if I have got accustomed now; but, when I see her again, it's as if it was something new.'
Well, that is in fact precisely the case with those of us who are present during an ecstasy. We feel as if we were already used to them; but, on seeing them afresh, we are still overcome with surprise.

Fr. G.~L. noted that there is always newness in spiritual goods.

(There is a priest who stated in his report that the goings-on at Garabandal were 'hardly dignified', most likely overlooking the scant dignity at Lourdes).

shrug the whole thing off or simply reject it as "unnecessary," as I have often heard devout Catholics describe it, reveals an inner sin of pride that makes us unworthy of such a grace

Part Three of the Secret

publication of this document was justified by the claim that it was the contents of the secret of Fátima, and that it had been sent by Pope Paul VI to President Kennedy, Mr. MacMillan and Khruschev prior to the Moscow meetings which resulted in the agreement of August 6th, 1963, on the control of atomic tests

08/21/24Part Three of the Secret : 233

document of which we have quoted a small part is unfortunately only too genuine. If this is so, then the Treaty of Moscow was not the result of the activity of politicians, but the fruit of Pope Paul's exquisite tact and Vatican diplomacy
