The Catholic Prophecies That Are Taking The World By Storm!
By Bella Desouza Francis
Garabandal is a tiny village in the Cantabrian Mountains in Northern Spain where, from June 18, 1961 up to November 13, 1965 , 4 girls had countless apparitions. The girls were Mari Loli 12 yrs old, Jacinta 12 yrs, Conchita 12 yrs and Mari Cruz 11 yrs Garabandal had a 500 year history of its people gathering in the evening for the daily rosary. Any wonder why Garabandal was favoured by our Lady. On June 18th 1961 as they were playing in the evening, they heard a thunder. Suddenly, there stood before them a dazzling angel (later identified as St. Michael the Archangel).. He said nothing and quickly disappeared. Pale and visibly shaken, the girls ran to the village church and the apparition soon became known. Over the next twelve days the angel appeared to them several more times and then on July 1, he spoke for the first time announcing that on the following day the Blessed Virgin would appear to them as Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
Over the 4 years, Our Lady would appear hundreds of times frequently appearing several times in a single day. Occasionally she carried the infant Jesus in her arms.
The four girls talked with the Blessed Virgin with great simplicity about their everyday life, working in the fields, getting bronzed by the sun. A charming and almost disarming spontaneity marked the apparitions. In her Diary ,Conchita mentions that the angel and Our Lady often smiled and laughed at their childish remarks. She says the Blessed Virgin kissed them often and kissed many objects given to the girls by the villagers, including entangled rosaries which miraculously were disentangled and returned to the rightful owners. On a few occasions when Mary came with the Infant Jesus, She allowed them to take Him in their arms. They also did simple things to amuse and please Him, such as hiding pebbles in their sleeves and in the tresses of their hair. Once, Our Lady took the crown of small golden stars from Her head and permitted the children to hold it in their hands. What is the meaning of this? Perhaps it teaches us the value of childlike simplicity and unquestioning faith.
Later, Our Lady gave the girls the two formal messages. Many of the messages delivered by Our Lady were of a purely private nature. Some were words of enlightenment or comfort directed to people who came to the village with personal problems. Others were statements that revealed the hidden thoughts or actions of visitors, some of whom were doubting priests.
The Two Messages Given by the Blessed Virgin Mary at Garabandal, Spain.
OCTOBER 18, 1961
You must make many sacrifices, perform much penance, and visit the Blessed Sacrament frequently. But first, you must lead good lives. The cup is already filling up, and if you do not change, a very great chastisement will come.
JUNE 18, 1965
As my message of October 18, has not been complied with and has not been made known to the world, I am advising you that this is the last one. Before, the cup was filling up. Now it is flowing over. Many cardinals, many bishops and many priests are on the road to perdition and are taking many souls with them. Less and less importance is being given to the Eucharist.
You should turn the wrath of God away from your selves by your efforts. If you ask His forgiveness with sincere hearts, He will pardon you. 1, your mother, through the intercession of Saint Michael the Arch angel, ask you to amend your lives.
You are now receiving the last warnings. I love you very much and do not want your condemnation. Pray to Us with sincerity and we will grant your requests. You should make more sacrifices. Think about the passion of my son, Jesus.
Our Lady told the children that they must visit the Blessed Sacrament frequently and often led them there”
Our Lady told Conchita that it was a greater grace to receive Jesus (in Holy Communion) than to see her.
In the last apparition on 13th November (note the date is 13th) 1965 Our Lady said:
“Conchita, why do you not visit my Son more often in the tabernacle? He waits for you there day and night.”
A brief synopsis on The Warning, Miracle, Sign & Chastisement.
THE WARNING
Three great supernatural events were prophesied at Garabandal. The first is a worldwide Warning from God to be seen and then felt interiorly by everyone on earth. At that moment we will see the wrong we’ve done and the good we failed to do. The Warning will be sent to correct the conscience of the world and prepare it for the great Miracle
The Miracle
The Miracle will take place at the grove of the pine trees on a bluff overlooking the village of Garabandal. It will occur on a Thursday evening at 8:30 or between the eighth and the sixteenth of March April or May. (Visionary Conchita Gonzales) Keena knows the date and will announce it eight days in advance. It will be on a feastday of a martyr of the Eucharist and coincide with an event in the Church. All those either in the village or on the surrounding mountains will see it. The sick who are present will be cured, sinners converted and the incredulous will believe. As a result of the Miracle, Russia will be converted.
The “Sign”
After the Miracle, a permanent visible supernatural “sign” will remain at the pines till the end of time.
The Chastisement
If the world does not change after the Miracle, then God will send the Chastisement.
Although I’m a lowly sinner, I pray that the Lord has mercy on me and considers my daily prayers.
