From Forums of the Virgin Mary [translated]:
The things that happened in Garabandal that have remained hidden and are of the utmost importance.
The Garabandal apparitions are at the center of expectations, because there are signs that the tribulations have begun to unfold, which will lead us to the purification of the planet.
And the warning to humanity, that the Virgin prophesied there, would then be just around the corner.
Here we will talk about the mysteries that surround these famous apparitions, we will talk about the points that can cause surprise and doubts, about the most hidden things that happened there, and what we can expect in the future.
The apparitions of Garabandal occurred between 1961 and 1965 in the area of Cantabria, in the north of Spain, to 4 girls: Conchita, Jacinta, Mari Cruz and Mari Loli, already deceased.
We have made several videos on these events so we refer to them for their details.
In Garabandal , the Virgin gave the central message that she preaches in all the apparitions: conversion, prayer, penance, being faithful to God, etc.
But in each apparition particular things happen, some difficult to understand if you don’t look at it in its entirety, and if you don’t relate it to other apparitions.
And here we want to summarize the main mysteries of Garabandal.
First, the apparition happened in the midst of the Second Vatican Council, which was from 1962 to 1965, and the uncovering produced by the hippie movement.
So several things that happened there must be seen as related to what happened at that time.
And we can see this clearly in the public messages that were given.
Second, in Garabandal there were only 2 messages intended for the public, the first on June 18, 1961, where the central point was that if we are not good and do penance and sacrifices, a very great punishment will come, warning that the cup was filling .
And the second message on the same June 18 but in 1965, said that the cup that was filling is now overflowing.
That many priests, bishops and cardinals go down the path of perdition and with them take many souls, and that the Eucharist is given less attention.
And he repeated the need for penance and sacrifices, saying that we must avoid the wrath of God, and that we are in the last warnings.
In other words, in 4 years the situation of the Church and the world clearly deteriorated according to the expectations of heaven.
Third, the mention of the bad life of the ordained caused discomfort in many priests, who asked the bishop, who initially welcomed the apparitions, to condemn them, and the war against these apparitions began in the Church.
Two sides were formed, a group of priests that we can see in videos that worked to bring to light the supernatural events that happened there, for example, Father Jorge Loring is an emblem.
And then another group that acted in the centers of power of the Church lobbying against these apparitions, which in general were of a modernist nature, or on the other hand very traditionalist.
Fourth, various diocesan commissions were formed to study the investigations reproducing the negative climate.
But he highlights that one of his staunchest enemies, Dr. Luis Morales Noriega, recanted in 1983 and stated that he now believed in the Garabandal apparitions.
The position of the Church is that these apparitions are not condemned as non-supernatural, nor accepted as supernatural, that is, there is not enough information to designate them as false or true.
And the Church is open to new contributions and insights.
But something interesting is that the commissions did not detect any theological error in them.
So the commissions themselves, formed from a negative spirit towards the apparitions, rule out an evil activity to twist the doctrine of the Church.
Fifth, in these commissions they questioned the seers with the aim of making them retract that they had seen the Virgin.
And the pressures were such that they made them retract, as happened at the beginning in Fatima.
But away from the pressure, the girls once again affirmed that the Virgin had appeared to them.
Sixth, the singular contribution of the apparitions was that the Virgin communicated that a warning, a miracle and a punishment would come to humanity, and showed them what they would be like along with the message that their impact would be conditional on conversion.
Although each of these events had already been prophesied for centuries by saints and mystics.
The first event will be the announcement, with the illumination of conscience, to bring people back to God.
The one who will come in the midst of a great persecution of the Church and Christians, perhaps in the midst of a schism and with the Pope no longer living in Rome, and in the midst of a war, in a world dominated by communism.
The second event would be the miracle, a supernatural sign that would remain in the place of the apparitions until the end of the world and would be within 12 months of the warning.
And then would come the punishment, the most conditional event of all to the conversion of the people.
Seventh, countless supernatural events occurred in those years, validated by hundreds of documented eyewitnesses.
For example, the girls collected dozens of rosaries for the Virgin to kiss and they never made a mistake in returning them to their true owners.
And other phenomena in the way the girls received the messages and moved around the village.
Eighth, the girls usually received communion from the hands of the angel but once he told them that in 15 days it would become visible, the so-called miracle.
And on June 18, 1962, in the midst of dozens of witnesses who were waiting, Conchita opened her mouth and a host materialized in her mouth , which a pilgrim was able to photograph under the light of a flashlight.
Ninth, the virgin told Conchita that after the death of John XXIII there were 3 popes left plus one who did not count, and the End of Times would come, which is not the end of the world.
These were Paul VI, John Paul I, who was only 33 days, John Paul II and Benedict XVI.
And there is no doubt that Francis’ pontificate takes place in a crisis within the Church, and outside in the world, such as has never been seen.
Tenth, Father Luis María Andreu saw the miracle and died of joy.
The girls fell into ecstasy on August 8, 1961 and Father Andreu followed them.
And when the girls knelt down and sang the hymn to Saint Michael the Archangel, deeply moved, Andreu repeated the word “Miracle, Miracle!” four times.
And he also said «I am full of joy. What a gift the Virgin has given me!».
And when he returned at dawn he died in the back seat of the car with a satisfied face.
Then his brother Ramón, another Jesuit, spoke with him through the girls, and he was surprised that the girls knew intimate things about the brothers.
And the Virgin made the prophecy that on the day of the Miracle, the body of Father Luis Andreu would be removed incorrupt from his tomb.
Fifteen years later his body had to be exhumed and it was corrupted, but the prophecy is still valid, because the miracle has not yet happened.
Eleventh, another case is that of Joey Lomangino, a blind man who went to Garabandal on the recommendation of Padre Pio and became the American reference for these apparitions.
And the Virgin prophesied that she would recover her sight on the day of the miracle.
However, he died blind precisely on June 18, a very Garabandal date, but in 2014, at the age of 83.
It would be an apparent failure of the prophecies, which puts our faith to the test.
But then it was learned by those close to his family that Joey had asked to deliver the recovery of his sight for the conversion of sinners.
What was corroborated by his close collaborator Marc Conza and by Father Justo Lofeudo.
Twelfth, the virgin told Conchita that Padre Pio, a believer in these apparitions, would see the miracle.
And she was baffled when he died in 1968.
However, when Conchita went to receive the gift that Padre Pio left her, the veil that covered her face after his death, Father Bernardino Cennamo informed her that Padre Pio told her that he had seen the miracle before he died.
And thirteenth, Conchita was commissioned by the Virgin to communicate the date of the miracle to the world days in advance.
So he is supposed to know the date, or at least the environment and it will be communicated to him later on the day with precision, and in addition he should be alive.
However, she has said that when the prophesied events come, very few people would believe in Garabandal.
With what the death of Conchita before the miracle could be the cause and would be a test to the faith of the believers.
Although in reality the deployment of the warning, the miracle and the punishment do not depend on human anticipations, it is God who sends it.
The warning will come before the miracle and it will be unexpected, so we already know that the miracle will come in the next few months and we don’t need anyone to report it.
Well up to here what we wanted to talk about the mysteries that enclose the apparitions of Garabandal to better understand them and know what we can expect in the future.
