Girls can reveal names of people and Priests. “While in ecstasy, they revealed the names of certain spectators. They knew and made known the exact number of priests who were in the village at the time. One day they disclosed that there was one more priest than was seen. The person concerned was convinced, admitting that he had dressed as a layman for the occasion. For myself, one day Loli revealed my name and surnames, adding that my parish was dedicated to the Virgin.” Memoirs of a Spanish Country Priest by Father José Ramon Garcia de la Riva, page 19
I guess I am confused. I made, and will make no prediction. I have no idea when the events will transpire. I don't let anything hinge on Maria Saraco's words. I don't really know much about her anyway. If I made an error, I am open to correction, and welcome it. I posted the video to show Loli's words, and mentioned the 2:35 mark so others would see Loli's interview. Truely, I am sorry if I upset you Glenn.
Not upset at all ,just giving you the information I have about things and people you might not know about. I've been at this for 30 years, and I wouldn't say something about the time period if I wasn't sure. You quote Loli, but you fail to recognize the 2 examples LOLI GAVE of the "same year" , and the 3 weeks or 3 months " quote , both pointing to the first 3 months of that year of the Miracle (which happens in April ). You cant "cherry pick " one quote of hers ,and ignore the 2 more specific ones.
I am aware of the magazine quote from the 1975 interview of Loli where she is quoted as saying "within the same year". The video clip that I posted above seems to be trying to correct that quoted statement from "within the same year" to within 12 months. Since there is a language barrier I find it very possible that Loli didn't realize the possible syntax difference between "within the same year" and "within a year". Also since we do not have footage of that 1975 interview, the possibility exists that the interviewer misheard or remembered incorrectly what she had said. That is possibly what is being corrected in the video I posted. Also I will post what you posted referencing Loli in 1975 from another publication: "SUNDAY, JANUARY 13, 1963 Mari-Loli's last ecstasy (two months later she, as well as Conchita, will enter into the phase of her locutions). For some time already (Fall 1962), the visionary had known the very year of the future Warning, and also that "the Aviso will come less than a year before the great Miracle," furthermore that "both of these future great events might occur the very same year . . ." (Mari-Loli first public declarations, 1975). From 'Garabandal' Book, J. Serre page 162" ---End quote from Glenn--' Loli also used at other times the "within 12 months" wording. Considering all of this, I still conclude she very well could have meant (or said) within 1 year in 1975. As to the 3 month or 3 weeks quote...I will repost what you posted about an email you received .... "In another situation, I was told by a man in Massachussets, who knows the Pastor of the Church that Mari Loli attended, that Mari Loli was speaking to her Pastor in Massachusetts one day, after he came to know about her relation with Garabandal, and told him that she could not remember whether the Blessed Virgin told her that it was 3 weeks or 3 months that the Warning would precede the Miracle. That would confirm that the Warning and Miracle are in the same year, as she said in her July 27, 1975 publicized interview. I take the same year to be the same calendar year. Fiat, Thomas Fahy 3-20-15" ----End quote from Glenn-- So this is Glenn posting what Tom heard from a man from Loli's parish heard about what her pastor heard from Loli. And at that, Loli even said she "couldn't remember" exactly. So it is at least 6th hand information when it reaches my eyes (7th hand if the man who told Tom only heard about what the pastor said). Sounds like a game of telephone to me. So we are relying on an unnamed man's testimony who only heard about what was said by Loli to her pastor. Even Tom Fahy says he "takes the same year to be the same callender year" which could mean he is not certain, but is making a judgement. Also, what if Mary did say within a year and Loli's recollection is not crystal clear? That might explain why in subsequent interviews she says 12 months. What if the interviewer wrote it down wrong or misheard her? What if she used the wrong word and later tried to correct the mistake repeatedly using 12 months in other videos? Anyways the video alone is enough for me to not consider it to be completely settled. And of course there is "flexibility" in the fulfillment of any true prophecy, as "Joey's eyes" confirm.
A great morning laugh! Thank you Glenn. BTW I would bet you are right...But open to all posibilities. Happy feast of St. Joseph!
Thank you. Point well taken. We also should keep in mind the main reason we must avoid putting off repentance is the fact that death may come knocking at any time!
Jacinta Points Out the Priest’s Presence Among the people who went up one day with us to Garabandal was a Military Air Force Chaplain. He was wearing only the insignias of his rank of Captain and he asked the priests present not to tell the girls that he was also a priest. His desire was carefully respected. That night Jacinta fell into ecstasy and the pastor, Father Valentín, as was his custom, asked her how many priests were present. The girl gave the correct number of those in cassocks and added, “And one of those who go by plane. This is his name.” Returning home with us at 4 o’clock in the morning, the chaplain could not stop telling me of his astonishment and emotions. “Memoirs of a Spanish Country Priest “ by Father José Ramon Garcia de la Riva, Page 22
The expression "same year" in English is not easy for foreign speakers. In the case of a lack of language skills, "within a year" hardly comes. There is "same year" for "within a year" one of the well-known mistakes of a foreign speaker. Or do you seriously think that a beginner in English knows "within a year" so easily? Certainly not me. For this precision, the interviews should have been conducted in Spanish with translation. But it's not that important either. The order is clear and unambiguous. It serves us right that we cannot know for sure today. The super curiosity of the survey was now led to absurdity. We should have been content with 12 months. It is divine humor if we are confused now (see also Joy's eyes) and the miracle may be postponed to the month of May or June. Then our confidence would be put to the test (smile).
You are ignoring Loli's other quote about it being 3 weeks or 3 months from the MIracle, which would put it IN THE SAME YEAR. BTW the Miracle date has not and will not be moved , as all the Eucharistic Martyr info is for April, and Conchita would have told me if the date was moved. Lets deal with facts, not theories.
Hierognosis examples at Garabandal Several episodes of hierognosis (unexplainable recognition of religious relics or persons) happened in front of me at Garabandal. Without question, the visionaries recognized persons consecrated to God. They also knew the number of priests present in the village. In her diary, Conchita points out a Dominican who was there incognito. During her ecstasy, she spoke of him and they heard her call him “dominicou.” Later she warned him on behalf of the Virgin that he should wear his habit . . . “So beautiful!” * Also, the girls recognized whether an object had or had not been kissed by the Virgin. While in ecstasy, always. A hundred proofs of this could be given. I can personally verify that, even in the normal state, Conchita knew this. An example: — “Conchita, during the next apparition, would you offer this rosary for the Virgin’s kiss?” — “But it’s already been done.” Since I was sure that she had never seen it, I insisted. — “Be nice, do me a favor. Offer it during the apparition.” — “But why do you want her to redo it, since it has already been done?” she answered smiling. In my opinion, the kissed objects emanated perfume that could be perceived at times. "Memoirs of a Spanish Country Priest" by Father José Ramon Garcia de la Riva, Page 39
Dear Glenn, Albrecht Weber had written on his website that the date of the warning is not even known to the Blessed Mother or Jesus, but only to the almighty Father. Today Conchita could know the warning date pretty much with the 3 weeks or 3 months. But if you don't know whether it's weeks or months, you can be wrong and quarters are meant. It could just be that God is fed up with our date puzzles and is postponing the date and would tell Conchita as well. God knows poor Conchita is being pressured with the date she was supposed to be silent until 8 days before. There's that "Aviso" that keeps predicting the year of the miracle, and if he keeps it up, he'll eventually be right. Now he should soon be able to visit and question Conchita and he will probably portray the pope as no pope and the mass as no holy mass, the church as no longer a church and Trump and Vigano as saints etc. and want to get support from Conchita. Pain, she denied. If the date were postponed, which is always possible, it would be a show of humility for the humble and the silent. For the arrogant, a sign where they may lose faith because they have toyed with their views for too long. But it doesn't have to be Joey, who didn't get his sight while he was alive, but a humiliation for the too curious who won't wait patiently. It is possible that this is the sign that many are losing faith in Garabandal. He told us that he calls Conchita almost every day. The phone bill must have been high (smile). Albrecht Weber, because I was visiting once and he invited my parents to Fatima to eat a cheese fondue with Conchita. Which of course went wrong, because Conchita wanted to keep her distance from Albrecht Weber. Albrecht then searches like crazy for Conchita in Fatima. At Conchita's last place of residence with her travel group, on the way to the airport, he was able to meet her after the holy Mass in the Shrine of Fatima and then he wanted my parents to take a picture of him and Conchita when he give her his book "Garabandal, Der Zeigefinger Gottes". Conchita tried very hard to avoid that. But without success, in the end she politely took the book with her, but my parents refused to photograph this scene, which he loved so much and for a long time he had something comparable with a bishop on his website. Albrecht Weber punished my helpless parents for it. I wouldn't be surprised if Conchita threw the book in a dustbin at the airport or left it somewhere for everyone . Otherwise you, Glenn, could have gotten the book from her that you were looking for for a long time ? By phone, I contacted Albrecht Weber twice (because of the 3 or 4 popes) and the second time I refused to meet him again because he always mysteriously wanted to know a lot and as soon as I was there in Meeresburg Germany he just wanted to sell the book that I already have. The story of the Pope going to Moscow is also shrouded in mystery, which is definitely not written down in his book. More than half of his book is his interpretations, some of which are heretical (e.g. millenarianism from his evangelical father pastor). He wanted to write a supplement that supposedly contained new knowledge and was to be integrated into a new edition, but he didn't want to show it to me at the time and I don't know if it was ever published. In any case, he wanted to sell a old book as new again . My brother (electrician) and I were supposed to help him build his ramshackle house in Garabandal, but by that point we didn't trust him anymore, we probably would have had to pay for all damages, but work on God's wages (smile), like my parents had to do in Fatima. His great credit to Garabandal is clearly his eloquence and tenacity in the records and inquiries that have left us much of value about Garabandal. We are very grateful to Albrecht Weber for this. I hope, Glenn, and believe me, that it is as you say it is. I don't want to wait any longer either, because it's so bad in the World. I have followed many of your interviews with great interest and congratulate you on your commitment.
Who's talking about Albrecht ? You're going off on an Albrecht tangent. MY sources for Warning info came directly from the original interviews in " Needles" magazines, quotes from Mary Loli. As far as the "Pope to Moscow " story. You again are focused only on AW, not my only source ! Read the book " GARABANDAL, APPARITIONS OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY" by Jacques Serre, on page 132 the same exact story. ( unfortunately i wanted to post the page here , but it says the photo is too large). It's on my fb page if you want to see it as proof. Put your personal stuff aside with AW, and LOOK at the other proof I provide, and if you still don't believe, that's ok,Don't believe its in the same exact year (Jan-Mar) ,Miracle in April.
Illumination of Conscience and 3 Days of Darkness in 5 Points Garabandal really got the attention of Taylor Marshall
My interview opened his eyes to the truth of Garabandal and Padre Pio's confirmed belief in it. He even joined my fb page !
Conchita and the glass of milk. One day Conchita was eating near the raised fireplace in the kitchen, on a small stool where she usually sat. Suddenly Loli came in ecstatic and told her: - "Conchita, the Virgin tells you to finish quickly, that she is going to come to see you." Conchita sped up her movements a little, and when she raised the glass of milk, to everyone's surprise, she fell into ecstasy, with the glass of milk in her hand. She slowly came down from the chimney and, at the door of the house, she began to run quickly towards the church. She stopped abruptly before the portico. There they were able to take the famous glass of milk from her hand. To everyone's surprise, she hadn't missed a drop. (One more small example of the everyday proof signs of the apparitions)
June 23, 1962 “ Few will see God” (A statement made from the “Nights of screams” on the 19th&20th) "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 (Loli) Dolores Mazon, Jacinta Gonzalez 13 years old From: “She went in haste to the Mountain” book 2 ,page 199
Mary says the word Purgatory ! GARABANDAL Magazine, April 16, 1983 Interview with Jacinta Gonzalez Moynihan Q. “ Did the Virgin ever speak about Purgatory?” A. “ Yes” Q. “ Did she actually use the word Purgatory ? “ A. “Yes, because she said many souls go there”. (Reprinted in the GARABANDAL Magazine July-September 1983 Issue, page 6
Today in Garabandal History : March 25, 1962. Feast of the Annunciation Jacinta's father, Simon, recalls: “The three girls, Conchita, Loli and my daughter, up until then had only "prayed" the rosary. That day, however, they began to sing it and they sang the whole rosary. At the beginning of the apparition, there were only a few of us there, but by the end I think the whole village was there. I felt an immense joy. I knew well how shy my daughter is and I thought to myself, ‘she must be seeing something great to sing like she's singing.” My joy that day could only have been greater if I were to have seen the Blessed Virgin myself.”
