In my capacity as Director of the Penang Garabandal Centre , I am pleased to introduce you to the subject of Garabandal.
If you have not heard or read about Garabandal, it is the name of a hamlet – San Sebastian de Garabandal – located in the foothills of the Cantabrian mountains in Northern Spain .
That is where four young schoolgirls were subjected to Marian apparitions from 2 July 1961 until 13 November 1965. During this period of time, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared over 2000 times, which makes Garabandal unique in the history of Marian apparitions.The visitations drew huge crowds, and featured alleged paranormal phenomena, much of it filmed or photographed, with thousands of witnesses.
The girls receiving the visions were Mari Loli Mazón (May 1, 1949 – April 20, 2009), Jacinta González (born April 27, 1949), Mari Cruz González (born June 21, 1950) and Conchita González (born Feb. 7, 1949).
In this series of visitations, the Virgin Mary is often referred to as “Our Lady of Mount Carmel of Garabandal”, because she said that she was the Lady of Mount Carmel when the visionaries asked who she was. Besides that, her appearance, dress and hairstyle looked like portrayals of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
Lourdes, Fatima and Garabandal are one, a trilogy in an arc drawn through France, Portugal and Spain. Appearances in Spain are the key to the understanding of the Age of Mary in the Church. Garabandal is the bridge between what has happened and what is to come.
During her visitations, Our Lady gave two important Messages for the world. The first message was on the 18th of October 1961 and the second on the 18th of June 1965. The Messages of Garabandal have to do with our conversion of heart. We must ask forgiveness for our sins and strive to lead good lives. God Bless

Thank you Suzanne and Tony for your wonderful blog and your life together http://suzannetony.wordpress.com/
I am not sure where I stand on Garabandal but if true, I think the world is in dire need of a "warning". Unfortunately, so does that other "apparition" at Medj which also states of a warning. That is not to say that Garabandal is untrue. I have more faith in Garabandal than Medj. I don't know if Medj. is trying to grab attention away from Garabandal AND Fatima, but I can see how people would be gradually swayed by Medj.
ReplyDeleteOne question though: If I remember correctly, I had read years ago that when Cuba is allowed to trade with the United States again, that's when the time is close or to that effect.
Have you ever heard this before? I do not have an account at Google so I will sign with my name.
thanks

I never heard that one about Cuba. That has nothing to do about Garabandal. All Our Lady's apparitions are connected in some way and we will let God be God and He will show us what to believe through His Holy Church! Thanks for your comment, Chuck!
