HAHA Conchita only made that statement because I asked her to ! Every media outlet omitted the first sentence when it is me asking, so it looks like they have a breaking news story. If I had saved the hundreds of disappointing emails about the movie, I could flood this page. Those who knew the story were disappointed , those who knew nothing , had nothing to compare it to, so of course they liked it.
Thank you both Glenn and Carol for these last posts. It is good to know the truth and I find the words you posted very inspiring Carol. They also have been what I have seen and experienced both personally and with others I know who I have spoken with during this time of uncertainty.
Well Glenn, for all of the evidence that they neglected, a newbie wouldn’t know what was missing, but because of your efforts, we do know. Most likely, that is why we could see what was not told and were disappointed. You revealed the full truth, they did not. Thankfully others didn’t know and as the post above demonstrate, others were introduced to Garabandal and were graced by it. So take that needed console ! Funny that you commented that Conchita was looking down in a not so pleased expression. Even before I read your comment to the same, I had the sense that she was not pleased myself. Shame on those who deceived you and Conchita... As I said, not to worry. They will be put to shame in time. You’re pain, and likely Conchita’s is a great suffering because of it. Trust me, your efforts will be rewarded when the Full truth is finally revealed. If God’s permissive will allowed it,then I’m sure He will rectify this ...in His perfect way...just watch
Hi Glenn I know thus may be a little off topic but I was wandering How is Conchita now how does she feel about the covid 19 going around? I saw that picture of her kids what are they doing now? Did any of them become priest or nuns. Lovely children. God bless you.
TODAY IN GARABANDAL HISTORY May 13, 1967 The Archbishop of Madrid, Casimiro Morcillo Gonzalez , issued a letter on May 13,1967, to the Bishop of Tacna in Peru, five days after the death of Bishop of Santandar Puchol Montis, https://ourlady.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Prelates-and-Garabandal2019.pdf

Hi Glen. A new blog post was published today (May 13 2020) with a thoughtful and positive discussion on the visions of Garabandal. It's called: "After 60 years, can we finally have 20/20 vision on Garabandal?" The blog looks objectively at the reasons for believing that the apparitions were genuine, and then asks “Why were the visions of Garabandal accompanied by more supernatural phenomena than any other visions in the history of the Church?” The blog actually has a number of good answers to this question! Please check out this blog post and let us have your feedback! Our website is non-profit, no ads and all done for the glory of God!

Edward, Welcome to MOG. I just read the about page from your blog, this is so sweet... ABOUT US Launched on September 8th 2018, this website has been designed by three children aged 8, 10 and 11, with the intention of spreading the Gospel to the widest possible audience. With some supervision from their parents, the children have chosen the subject matter contained in the site, and they have been responsible for sourcing nearly all the material. The decision to create this website was taken on the feast of St Maximilian Kolbe, August 14th 2018. Having followed Fr Michael Gaitley’s retreat, Thirty-three days to Morning Glory, we had learned of the importance of Marian consecration. We had discovered how figures like St Kolbe, St John Paul II and Mother Teresa had conformed themselves to Jesus through Marian consecration. It was decided, therefore, that the website should be dedicated to Mary. If it was the Lord’s will, she would make it fruitful and lead others to Christ through it. So the domain name had to be of a Marian sort, but which name would we choose? After an hour or so of discussion on the evening of August 14th, we came up with six or seven names and put them into a hat. That way the Holy Spirit would have the final say in the decision! The name that was picked out was immaculatemother.org, surely the perfect choice! The website was launched on September 8th, 2018, feast of the birthday of Our Lady. Following the example of Pope John Paul II, we dedicate it entirely to Jesus through her – totus tuus! https://www.immaculatemother.org/about-us PS- I also plan on taking a closer look at your blog soon.
YOUR QUOTE "There is no shortage of websites with speculative posts about the date of the Warning and the Miracle. Much of this material has little enough to do with the real message of Garabandal, although it is understandable that people have a tendency to be preoccupied with events of an apocalyptic sort." Funny how you didn't mention there are at least 2 websites ( MOG & my facebook, The Message of Garabandal page) with reliable, verifiable information, books ,videos, personal stories of the Visionaries. Oh and yeah THE ONLY SITE Conchita actually speaks to (that's how her March 13 th message was released). Kieran Troy, (for the reader who wishes to learn more of the background story, you will find an accurate and balanced summary on the website of the new film “Only God Knows) ACCURATE ? Seriously , Is this piece a pro-mo for the movie ? Because the movie was a factual piece of swiss cheese. Start with the title: “Garabandal: Only God knows.” That makes it sound like we don’t know if it’s true or not ? That’s not very smart ! There were NO VISIONS of St. Michael or Mary in any apparition scene! No mention of the future Warning or Miracle, or Chastisement ! ( how do you leave out those critical events ??? ) Conchita was 12 when it started but the girl playing her looks about 16/17, so you don't get that feeling that this was a very young girl the Church threatened to put in an insane asylum or jail ! . Movie opens with a terrible scene of the Church officials forcing Conchita to deny the apparitions. This happened 5 years later, why open with a confusing scene like this, and no explanation of what is going on ? The film is disjointed, bounces around in time,it’s confusing to those who don’t know the story. " The only non-religious objects that were permitted were wedding rings" Not entirely true, a cosmetic compact was once kissed as Mary later explained, it was a PYX during the war, carrying the Eucharist. To try to bring the events to a close, Conchita was taken for a number of days down to the seaside town of Santander and encouraged to enjoy herself. Do you know they practically tortured this 12 year old ? Threatened to put her in a mental institution, and jail her parents ! Then they CUT OFF HER BRAIDS ! These 2 moronic doctors thought it had special powers ! They they tried to hypnotize her, but she immediately went into a ecstatic state . Lastly they wouldnt let her go home until she signed a black piece of paper, which later turned out to be her " confession . Somehow you missed all this information, shame. I don't even want to read the rest, I'm getting upset , by the lack of information & truth. Sorry Edward, not impressed with the backround research.
Hi Glenn, thanks for your comments. I accept all your criticisms and encourage people to consult your site for reliable information. The real conclusions of the blog posted on our website, however, are not in any way in conflict with what you are about. The first section of the blog argues that the wonders that accompanied the visions (ecstatic walks, privileged knowledge of the ownership of rosaries, etc.) are a sure sign that what happened really had a heavenly origin. This might seem obvious to devotees of Garabandal, but the problem is that the phenomena are simply ignored or dismissed by many others. The blog wants to state clearly to non devotees of Garabandal that we have an obligation to take Garabandal seriously since the details of what was happening there cannot be explained except by supernatural means. The second section of the blog is probably the most interesting, and this is the part that we would like you to read and evaluate, Glenn, if you have time. Here, the question is asked "Why were there so many extraordinary prodigies during the apparitions?" After all, the number and variety of supernatural signs at Garabandal were far greater than in Lourdes during the period of the apparitions. The blog gives three answers to this question that I think shed light on the mystery. Again, in humility we accept your criticism regarding certain details, but our blog is positive towards Garabandal, positive towards what you are about, and offered for the glory of God and his blessed mother. Thank you Glenn and we look forward to hearing from you.
Completely agree with your take on the first movie Glenn. It gets more confusing now. Here’s the trailer for the “sequel “. But it seems they made a documentary now - no actors. But we already have many very good documentaries on Garabandal - many of which you have linked here and elsewhere. Will the new movie add to what we already know about Garabandal?
Although it will bring Garabandal into being more widely known perhaps, another documentary isn’t needed especially if it leaves out nec facts or gets them wrong. In Hollywood, any press, bad or good works. For God or in this case, and specifically, Garabandal, that credo or philosophy is not the case. Be accurate and factual or don’t do it all all. It will only create Confusion and doubt, which is exactly what satan wants. Prayers! Peace!
MORNING OFFERING PRAYER Our Blessed Mother said in Garabandal on October 18th, 1961, "We must make many sacrifices, perform much penance, and visit the Blessed Sacrament frequently. But first, we must lead good lives. " In 1945 Jesus told Lucia, the seer of Fatima, "The sacrifice and penance I now seek and require is the fulfillment of your state in life and the observance of my laws." Whatever your state in life may be you can sanctify all your daily actions if upon arising you recite sincerely the morning offering prayer. Through the "Morning Offering of Reparation" every act you do becomes a sacrifice. The word "sacrifice" means to make "holy." Once you have made your morning offering you make "holy" every act you do throughout the day. Whatever trial God permits to pass your way during the day becomes a penance — whether it be work, bad weather, rebellious children, sickness in the family, tight economic conditions or misunderstandings by relatives or friends. All these sacrifices and penances obtain graces the Blessed Virgin needs for the conversion of sinners. Padre Pio said it best, "If you knew the value of suffering, you wouldn't give it up."
The following words are taken from two letters written by Conchita to youth groups from France, during their pilgrimage to Garabandal in 1970 and 1972. Conchita‘s written messages to youth group in France in 1970 TOPICS: Life of Virtue Fasting The Eucharist True happiness The Rosary Jesus’s passion Examination of conscience Look at Mary The following words are taken from two letters written by Conchita to youth groups from France, during their pilgrimage to Garabandal in 1970 and 1972. A LIFE OF VIRTUE "Be models for other young people" "The Blessed Virgin wants you to help convert the world and, thereby, prevent the wrath of God over our sins. She trusts in you; she trusts that your example and self-denial might make you models for other young people that haven’t received the graces that you have in hearing Our Lady’s messages." FASTING,PRAYER, AND PENANCE "She asks you to have a spirit of penance, sacrifice and prayer. Without these weapons, we can do nothing." THE EUCHARIST Visit the Blessed Sacrament frequently "In the Blessed Sacrament you will find the strength to take on the life that the Virgin Mary is constantly asking of you. Make frequent visits to the Blessed Sacrament. Empty your hearts of earthly things that don't allow you to listen to God." TRUE HAPPINESS It comes from being with God "The happiness which you have never felt is found only in the surrender to God and the Virgin Mary." THE ROSARY "Pray to her with faith and trust." "Pray for one another, for yourselves, pray to Our Lady. Pray to her with faith and trust. She will give you everything that is good for you." JESUS' PASSION Think of His Passion "Let us all together think more about Jesus' passion, in order to forget about ourselves." EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE God speaks to your soul "You who listen to these words, listen to God who speaks within your soul, follow the voice of your conscience. Pause each day for just a few minutes to think about the bad you’ve done, the good you have failed to do and also the good you have done; ask forgiveness for the bad you've done and for the good that, through negligence, you failed to do and begin your Christian life again." LOOKING AT THE VIRGIN MARY Would the Blessed Virgin do it? "Pray before acting and ask yourself, beforehand, ‘Would the Virgin Mary do this? What would the Blessed Virgin do?’ It’s possible that at this moment, when you are about to do something bad, you change your mind."
Blizzard, Thank you for posting this. Prayers answered. The new movie will be "totalmente de gratis en youtube" - "totally free on youtube". Alleluia! It looks like the seer Jacinta will be in the new movie, along with Conchita's aunt and Edward Kelly who has posted here along with a priest that I recognize from a video that I recently posted. In addition there is the wonderful news about the first movie, "Garabandal, Only God Knows will be made available online free of charge on a permanent basis."
