LISTEN TO THE LORD
When I met Conchita in Garabandal in 1963, she was just a teenager. She wrote to me in New York telling me to come to the village in 1965 for the second Message. We have been friends for 36 years.
Recently, we had lunch in her home in New York. She is a grandmother now. Following my heart attack in October 1999, she came to my house to pray and now I was very grateful to be able to return the visit.

We talked about the acceptance of every kind of suffering and the importance of the Holy Eucharist. Conchita said so many people are asking each other what to do and who has the answers, but have forgotten, she went on, that the answer is Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
" Go to the church by yourself and sit in front of the Real Presence. Listen," she said, "don't talk, listen to the Lord. He will tell you what to do."
She reminded me of the Holy Father and the physical suffering he endures, "This is what makes his efforts especially pleasing to God."
Padre Pio said it best, "If you knew the value of suffering, you wouldn't give it up." |
