I had a lovely dream last night. I dreamt I was in an old sailing ship of the coast of Spain. I dreamy Our Lady of Garabandal brought me down to hold ,which was full of casks of old wine. Our Lady indicated the wine three times and said each time, 'Old wine!'. I did not know what she meant all morning until it suddenly struck me! She meant the old wine, the old messages from Garabandal (they must be over fifty years old now...for me to reopen and drink from them..the old wine. So I am going to revisit them, open them one by one and reapply them to the present day and see what they bring forth. One sing that this is a true dream is an offer I got ,just the other day and now this. Old wine here I come.......what interesting times..... View attachment 2082
The First Message OCTOBER 18, 1961 We must make many sacrifices, perform much penance, and visit the Blessed Sacrament frequently. But first, we must lead good lives. If we do not, a chastisement will befall us. The cup is already filling up, and if we do not change, a very great chastisement will come upon us.
So the first message. Wow! Way back in 1961, how many years ago is that? Let's see..over half a century it makes me feel so old. Yet it comes across as fresh a new minted coin.... 'The cup is already filling up, and if we do not change, a very great chastisement will come upon us.' How many times have we heard this since and from how many Marian Apparition sites? The message unchanged the Marian requests, always the same... We must make many sacrifices, perform much penance, and visit the Blessed Sacrament frequently. But first, we must lead good lives. ..and have we are we Catholics doing this? No we have and are not. Therefor is stand to reason that the Chastisement is indeed coming. The old , rich wine is good still. But I must read on....
The Second Message 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 yourselves by your efforts. If you ask for His forgiveness with sincere hearts, He will pardon you. I, your mother, through the intercession of Saint Michael the Archangel, 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 Jesus.
I am a bit confused here; the First message is listed as October '61, the second as June '65..a four year gap!! This cannot be right!! I must go check.
I will have to recheck. One thing I noticed but was that Our Lady said the cup was overflowing. It seems back then the Chastisment was imminent. What happened? I wonder if it could have been the Cuban missile crisis also known as the October Crisis in 1962? That it was to come upon us but through the intercession of Mary the weight of Judgement was held off? It seems likely. The timing is just so perfect.. View attachment 2083 Notice here too as in Fatima the constant importance of the month of October also Russia. October seem to enter everywhere, the month of the Holy Angels.
Yes, I think this is what Our Lady was indicating, the importance of the month of October. Pope Francis, for instance called the Synod of Bishops in October '13 for October '14. "As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity” [3rd message of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Akita, Japan, October 13, 1973,]
THE BLESSED MOTHER'S 2 MESSAGES OF GARABANDAL Our Lady's 1st Message of Garabandal :October 18, 1961-- We must make many sacrifices, perform much penance, and visit the Blessed Sacrament frequently. But first, we must lead good lives. If we do not, a chastisement will befall us. The cup is already filling up, and if we do not change, a very great chastisement will come upon us. 2nd message: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.

Being a Connoisseur of both Garabandal and wine (yes I taught wines course in the 1990's ), I'd like to add my perspective on "the messages" Conchita said it best "There is no point in our believing in the apparitions if we do not heed the message." [Star on the Mountain, p. 118. BUT , There's more to it than just these two messages. She taught the girls what is really the messages of Garabandal...Pennace, Sacrifice, Confession, Mass, Communion, The Rosary, the Brown Scapular, obedience., humility. Conchita was told, in a locution whilst at school in Pamplona in 1966, by Jesus Christ, "Love humility, simplicity. Never think that what you have done is much." Stunning words, indeed, but spoken with love.
I have a different take on the " cup is overflowing,this is what it refers to. The Blessed Mother speaks of Abortion at Garabandal : Among the fulfilled prophecies of Garabandal was one that only came to light with the publication of a German book [Garabandal — Der Zeigefinger Gottes.] on Garabandal in 1992. The author, Albrecht Weber, was in Garabandal on the day after Conchita's last apparition at Garabandal on November 13,1965, and had a long conversation with the visionary. The following excerpt from his book deals with some of what the visionary told him: She [Conchita] spoke quite openly about the developments by which men in the near future would rebel against God. On the day after Our Lady's last appearance at Garabandal, Conchita asked the author, "Can you imagine how somebody could kill children in the womb without thereby killing the mother?" The author spontaneously answered, "No! What gave you that idea, Conchita?" "Well, the Blessed Mother spoke about this and she let me know that this will happen with the overflowing of the chalice." [In her second Message of June 18,1965, the Virgin said, "Before, the cup was filling up. Now it is flowing over."] Conchita said this tremblingly without being able to visualize what it really implied. She said further that it disturbed her very much but that she felt ridiculous because she hadn't understood at all how this killing could be effected. The Blessed Virgin had not explained it to her and up until that moment, nobody had been able to make her understand it at all. Conchita would learn soon enough when abortion became legalized, even in her native country. The Blessed Virgin had spoken about this unfortunate practice to the visionary, in terms that had left her stunned. Indeed, at the time, Conchita did not understand "how it was possible to kill a child in his (or hers) mother's womb without killing the mother at the same time . . .!" [Excerpted from 'Garabandal' Book, page 203]
I can personally relate to the highlighted words. Hope springs eternal! Safe in the Flames of the Sacred Heart!
Yes, abortion above all is what will hit us. Thank God there is no abortion in Ireland. May it never ever come.
Abortion and abuse stories to children are the ones I just can't handle and they make this grown man cry every time I hear about them or read about them. I know it mostly comes from the fact of having a child with severe health issues who ultimately died at 17 months that made me so sensitive to the little ones and for that I am forever grateful to come to such an understanding of such a thing due to dealing with great pain and suffering. I have several friends that terminated pregnancies due to the knowledge that they would be born with illness and it was something I could never understand or come to grips with both during my daughters life and now after. They truly cheated themselves out on great graces from God that can come to parents and all those involved in caring for and knowing these wonderful little angels as I call them from heaven.
