Garabandal cannot be reduced to simple "events of the past"; it remains mysteriously contemporary as we await the fulfillment of the "Warning", "Miracle", & "Great Sign." "Therefore, judge not before the time: until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts. And then shall every man have praise from God." (I Cor. 4:5)
I read much on the Garabandal story and I was so intrigued I especially was more so when I read that St.Padre Pio, recommended visits to Garabandal. My good friend of many years and I recently about 7 months ago in 2009 went to view the body of Padre Pio. Before that time my life was changing and I would spend much time reading learning as much as I could I truly believe that Padre Pio brought me to San Giovanni Rotondo to his beautiful Shrine Maria dela Grazie. For ten days my friend and I spent much time in prayers and devotion we were blessed with meeting two good friends Padre Pio, Father Ermelindo,who travels all over and gives testimonies on Padre Pio and Padre Paolo who told us that he gave Padre Pio his last rites. I was in total heaven my friend not a catholic not knowing why she had decided to come along the day before I boarded to Italy(Now prays the Rosary each day and feels a conversion) Well I have cried so much when I read and when I read about Garabandal I was certain I needed to go there I am now making beautiful Rosary's to pay for my next pilgrimage my friend and I pray that our loving God will allow us to go. My life has not been the same and I have had a rough life with much illness and many serious tragedy's but I have given my life to our Lords Divine Will. at first I was afraid but my I thought I would have to leave something behind, But what? my life had been full of sadness and illness abuse I only remember as it I had read my life in a book. I Adore my God and I am no where near a complete conversion I have many obstacles and many demons each day and sometimes I feel sad but never alone I smile when I think that I am working on having an eternity with God our Father,Jesus,Mary Padre Pio and all of the holy saints. I want so much to make God smile each day with so much wretchedness still in my life I look around and try to find the truth in all because after the truth I found is God! In reading about Garabandal I read so many things so negative so many things that are supposed to steer me away from believing in Conchita and the other children who witnessed this miraculous event but I try to find only truth and ask our Father to let it be true and I want so much to be there, I want so much to meet Conchita to hug her to cry and ask her questions yet I try to understand why she avoids many people but surely if this is all true then she and her and the other children have been chosen and doesn't that mean that our good Lord our Blessed Mother wants her to be ok with everyone who wants to know her to hear from her. My heart may be wrong but I feel that I may live to see the 3 nights of darkness. Oh my' so much but please pray for me that my dark days and struggles will only make me a better candidate for a place in heaven. pray for my daughter who has a complete drug addiction and seems to be getting worst after almost 19 years pray for my grandchildren who have seen only sadness and never knew there mother as the happy person that she was meant to be. Pray the the conversion of the world and that we may only see the truth in what is the truth and know when it is truly from our Lord in Heaven Pray that if it is Gods will through my rosary's I may make the pilgrimage to Garabandal my pilgrimage consisted of being on my knees and praying so much my life has never been the same and I would not have it any other way. God Bless you Conchita and all who were witness to this Blessed, Blessed miracle. I ask our Holy Mother to hear my prayers for all that I have prayed for and that she continue to ask our most Divine Father her son to use me and when I am drowning and I come up for air that it is him that I breath Please Father, Please Conchita come out and meet some of us we love you and need you. God be with us all Rosaelia Nevarez SLC, UT
