Thank you Glenn Early this morning I sent your info about the consecration to our curate and he announced it at mass this morning asking for all to join the pope in his prayer and to pray for its success.
Thank you Glenn for your info about the new book on Garabandal. I have ordered a couple of copies scheduled to arrive here in New Zealand on March 31
One time Bishop of FATIMA, Bishop Joao Venancio proclaimed Garabandal's message is the same as Fatima. In 1983, he would declare to Fr. A. Combe that: "this Message given by the Blessed Virgin at Garabandal is the same as the one given at Fatima, but it is updated . . . At Garabandal, Mary came to upgrade her Message given at Fatima to new conditions of the Church (and of the world). It is obvious to me that the Message of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a Message of salvation for our time . . ." Yes, without any doubt, but perhaps much more . . [From 'Garabandal' Book, J. Serre, page226]
Yesterday I posted Pope Francis will consecrate Russia and the Ukraine ( scroll up to see the story ). EWTN has announced they will air that consecration, calling it the " Celebration of Pennance". https://www.facebook.com/ewtnonline/posts/10159017985532582
The reason I am posting this is NOT to start up another debate about the pope, but to explain to you WHY he hasn't received an invitation to come to Moscow. He obviously isn't getting one from Putin anytime soon, his hope was to get one from Patriarch Kirill of the Moscow Orthodox Church, but after reading this article today, you can see they are on opposite sides of the purpose and justification of this war in the Ukraine. https://www.ncronline.org/news/vati...iCji3xzAnnIf000HYj-t2BwcU1vOyOSKT7Tqp1WIBYOK8
THE WARNING Conchita September 14, 1965 Q. Will the Warning be a visible thing or an interior thing or both? A. The Warning is a thing that comes directly from God and will be visible throughout the entire world, in whatever place anyone might be. Q. Will the Warning reveal personal sins to every person in the world and to persons of all faith, including atheists? A. Yes, the Warning will be like a revelation of our sins, and it will be seen and experienced equally by believers and non-believers and people of any religion whatsoever. Q. Will the Warning be recognized and accepted by the world as a direct sign from God?. A. Certainly, and for this reason I believe it is impossible that the world could be so hardened as not to change. “Our Lady Comes to Garabandal “ by Fr. Joseph A. Pelletier, page. 149
How will it all turn out? Maybe after the March 25th consecration, the Pope will be invited to Moscow.
Glenn, I am following your FB page very closely...thank you for the info on it and I have given many of my friends your link and they are on it as well....
Im not too sure how soon it will be , remembver Pope Francis basically told Patriarch Kirill this is NOT a Holy war as he called it, and siding with Putin was wrong. So it may be awhile.
NOW ITS OFFICIAL ! https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/...ps-to-join-him-in-consecration-of-russia.html
March 19th : FEAST DAY OF ST. JOSEPH, SPOUSE OF THE BLESSED MOTHER MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1961: "AH, ST. JOSEPH IS THE GREATEST SAINT IN HEAVEN!" “In response to Fr. Don Valentin Marichalar's questions, the visionaries learned from the Blessed Virgin that St. Joseph is "the greatest of all the Saints “ Excerpted from 'Garabandal' Book, J. Serre, page 100 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today in Garabandal History :MARCH 19,1962 Mari-Loli ,in ecstasy, addressed the following short word to Fr. Jose Silva, who had just gone up to the village for the first time: “ The Blessed Virgin wishes a happy birthday to Padre Jose “. This happened when no one had recognized the priest “dressed in lay clothes “. “Garabandal” book J.Serre, p. 125
Hi Glenn, in our RCIA class this week our director too noted the Pope's announcement of his consecration of Russia and the Ukraine. The next hour or so we side-tracked into a discussion of this event plus Our Lady's messages at Fatima and I expanded the conversation to include Our Lady's messages at Garabandal! It appears that all the events our Blessed Mother have been telling us about are now unfolding right before our very eyes! How fortunate we are to be living in these times!!
Hi Glenn, I am interested in knowing what the Blessed Mother's instructions are on saying the rosary properly... And what is it she means by thoughtfully? Also, did our Blessed Mother give them any guidance on what to do to not get distracted when saying their prayers?
For those of you that do not know why this meeeting in Moscow is so very important, it is because of the following quote about this event happening before the Warning comes ( it acts as an indicator of the approaching Warning): Albrecht Weber's book ( The Finger of God ) contains this statement attributed to Conchita: "The pope will go to Russia, to Moscow. As soon as he returns to the Vatican, hostilities will break out in different parts of Europe." [The source for this information was also requested. Mr. Weber responded: "Conchita said this in a long conversation at her house on November 14,1965."] Also from book "GARABANDAL: Apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary”, by Jacques Serre , contains the passage on page 132 about the pope's trip to Moscow.
Dear Gleen Please tell us on which page in Albrecht Weber's book (The Finger of God ) this statement can be read. I have this book in the second extended edition and have never found this explicit passage with "The Pope will go to Moscow"? Thank you. On page 131 there is only the statement of Marie Loli: ... "When is that?". "It is when Russia will unexpectedly and suddenly invade and flood a large part of the free world.... God does not want that to happen so quickly. In any case, the forewarning will come when you see that Holy Mass can no longer be celebrated freely, that's when the world will most need God to intervene."
Dear Gleen Thank you very much. Have studied the two pages and could not find in my edition the passage to the Pope to go to Moscow. Maybe an older edition.
FATIMA-GARABANDAL LINK I feel ,as many do, that Garabandal is the continuation of Fatima. At Garabandal, Saint Michael first appeared to the visionaries in the evening (8:30 P.M.) of June 18, 1961, exactly 40 years to the day as Fatima’s Lucia on her last day in Aljustrel before leaving for the convent school. That evening, having left her home and paying a last visit to the Cova da Iria, she is said to have seen Our Lady standing at a spot now occupied by the lower steps of the Basilica. In the sixth apparition at Fatima on October 13, 1917, during the tableaux of visions during the Miracle of the Sun, Our Lady appeared as Our Lady of Mount Carmel with the scapular on her wrist. On July 2, 1961, the Virgin appeared at Garabandal as Our Lady of Mount Carmel with a large brown scapular draped over her right arm. When Our Lady appeared at Fatima in 1917 she did something she had not done before: she addressed messages specifically to the entire world. While she appeared again after Fatima at Beauraing (1932-33) and Banneux (1933), she did not speak to the world at either of those places. But at Garabandal we again find this universal appeal. Although Fatima and Garabandal are separate events there is continuity in the revelations and similarities in features of the events not found among the other visits of Our Lady during the Marian Age. It is interesting to note that the 3rd secret was supposed to be released after 1960,and when it was not, Mary appeared at Garabandal in 1961. See how the world did not heed Mary's Fatima warnings, so she stated them more profoundly at Garabandal.
