CARMINA, SACRISTAN OF THE CHURCH OF SAN SEBASTIAN OF GARABANDAL, HAS PASSED AWAY

CARMINA, SACRISTAN OF THE CHURCH OF SAN SEBASTIAN OF GARABANDAL, HAS PASSED AWAY | WHAT IS GARABANDAL?






Carmen González,
known to many as Carmina, passed away on Sunday, February 8, 2015. She
was 95 years old. She served, for many years, as the sacristan for the
Parish of San Sebastian de Garabandal. I believe she is in Heaven. She
was the owner of a LARGE CRUCIFIX which was “KISSED” by the Blessed
Mother at the time of the apparitions. She often made this Crucifix
available for pilgrims to kiss. Her health and her eyesight began to
fail, so when she was no longer well enough to remain in her home, she
gave this Crucifix to the church. In 2015, this Crucifix was made
available after the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for pilgrims to kiss, as
Carmina would have wanted it to be.

May she rest in peace.
God Bless You…Pray for Me.

SAINT MICHAEL AT GARABANDAL

SAINT MICHAEL AT GARABANDAL | WHAT IS GARABANDAL?





Place of Saint Michael's Apparition



In the evening of June 18, 1961, the
four girls were playing on the outskirts of the town -
Suddenly they heard a loud noise,
like thunder, and saw before them the bright figure of the Archangel
Michael. On the following days the Archangel appeared to them again
in the same place. He announced that on July 2 they would see Our
Lady. This was the beginning of the Garabandal events.
Our Lady's Last Message
of June 18, 1965

Since my Message of October 18, 1961
has not been complied with and has not been made much known to
the world, I will tell you that this is the last one. Before the
chalice was filling now it is overflowing. MANY CARDINALS, MANY
BISHOPS, AND MANY PRIESTS ARE ON THE PATH OF PERDITION AND THEY
TAKE MANY SOULS WITH THEM. TO THE EUCHARIST, THERE IS GIVEN LESS
AND LESS IMPORTANCE. We should avoid the Wrath of God on us by
our good efforts. If you ask pardon with your sincere soul God
will pardon you. It
is I, Your Mother, who through the intercession of St. Michael,
wish to say that you amend, that you are already in the last warnings
and that I love you much and do not want your condemnation.

Ask us sincerely and we will give to you. You should sacrifice
more. Think of the Passion of Jesus.

Garabandal, Padre Pio and the Servant of God Luigina Sinapi, Mystic (1916-1978)

Here is a long and rewarding article by Aviso on the meeting of Servant of God Luigina Sinapi and Conchita of Garabandal.

A Trip to Lourdes


Conchita received a telegram from Lourdes on October 15, 1968.
She was urged to be there on October 17. Providentially, Father Alfred
Combe of France just arrived in Garabandal with Bernard L’Huillier.
Conchita asked him if he would drive her and her mother,Aniceta, to
Lourdes. Father Combe agreed and here is his account of what transpired
once they got there.

Garabandal’s Priest denies any Restrictions by Aviso


From Bastiano :
Being currently in Garabandal, I wanted to meet Father Rolando after the broadcast of an alleged article from the Bishop of Santander about Garabandal apparitions with its procession prohibited.
Questioning Father  Rolando about it in the sacristy of the church of Garabandal, below in summary, his answers to my questions  :
  1. 1. What has been circulated in the Cantabrian newspaper does not come from the Bishop, those are the allegations of the journalist only
  2. No prohibition in Garabandal, pilgrimages can still take place, and accompanying priests can celebrate the Mass in the Church as before and after informing Father Rolando like always
  3.The apparitions are still under the following statement: No Constat de Supernaturalite.
My Comment : Good news from Bastiano who is currently in Garabandal and also a member of the Piligrims Garabandal Center, these news détails from the Garabandal Priest himself totaly refutes the shameful allegations from this Journalist in question of the Cantabrian Newspaper, so let's Pray also for him, thank you.

From Glenn Hudson via Facebook: Update News on Garabandal Restrictions


I have received this email regarding the article posted last week.
Dear Brothers in the Faith:
Given the many questions that have recently come to the Center through various means regarding the veracity of the articles recently published in the newspaper, "El Diario Montañés," that have direct or indirect reference to the events of Garabandal, we see the need to clarify the following:
1. No official document of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Santander has imposed new restrictions.
2. The letter dated June 24, 2015 written by Bishop Manuel Sánchez Monge referred to in the newspaper article contains the same information from a letter written by Bishop José Vilaplana Blasco dated November 7, 2001.
3. We have no evidence the journalist wrote those words on behalf of the diocese or the pastor are true.
4. There is no new official letter from Bishop Manuel Sánchez Monge making any changes at all with what was previously written.
5. Within published articles, many faults or assertions of truth can occur and these can lead to confusion.
We believe, at this time, it is better not to dwell on these issues and not enter into discussions that lead nowhere. We try to be good Christians, follow the Gospel and fulfill the messages given to us by the Blessed Virgin.
Prayers in Union,
Jose Sanchez

A message from Tom Fahy: Constructing a Grotto for Our Lady in Garabandal.



I just received this communication from Tom Fahy, who is in Garabandal, doing some construction. Notice he says nothing about the so-called restrictions imposed by the local Bishop.

 



+
Dear Readers,
 
FINALLY!!  I have email capability after several weeks.
 
I am writing from Garabandal, where I have been since late September.
 
Kathy and Ann Ellison are here, and Chris Flugel is with us, too. 
 
Jerry and Gail Lawson have been handling operations back at the Center for the Divine Will in Tennessee.
______________________
 
Here in Garabandal we are in the process of constructing the Grotto for Our Lady that we have been wanting to construct since the opening of the House of Sanctification
here in Garabandal on June 1, 2000.  We are also preparing a passage way to the property behind the House of Sanctification so that vehicles can to it.  That property
is several feet abruptly higher than the front property.
 
Considerable earth removal has been necessary for both the Grotto and the passage way, requiring heavy equipment.
 
The Grotto will be approximately 40 square meters directly in front of the House of Sanctification on the right (as one faces the House). The Grotto will have stone walls,
one of which is almost completed.
 
We have never been able to undertake these projects, and had no plans to do so this year, but suddenly circumstances surprised us when a contractor friend of ours here
in Garabandal arranged for some heavy equipment and workers to begin these projects at a reasonable cost.
 
But we have had unexpected, lengthy delays, mostly due to problems with the heavy equipment.
 
I am attaching a couple of pictures related to these projects.  In one of the pictures, you will see the white van we very gratefully obtained last year with your donated support.
_____________________
 
We have also done a lot of land clearing. The front of the property had gotten overgrown with unwanted vegetation and the rear property had been neglected for many years,
where at least 100 small diameter trees had grown on the west side of that area. Chris Flugel has done a great job in clearing these trees opening it up to the sunlight, for possible
gardening in the future.  All those trees are lying there waiting to be cut into firewood.
____________________
 
In spite of limited news availability over the past several weeks, we have been able to be informed about the October Synod in Rome, and to a limited measure we have
been informed about world events. Now, with the recently obtained Internet service at the House of Sanctification, we are getting more news.
 
It seems that the only good news, though, is that the General Reign of the Divine Will is getting closer for the Glory of God, as this sorry world (not the beautiful planet) goes through its pitiful demise.
 
There are many signs that major events predicted at Fatima and Garabandal are very imminent. These painful events, and the happy ones also, are necessary to prepare the way for the
General Reign of the Divine Will on Earth as in Heaven.
____________________
 
One good aspect of being without Internet service, is having more time to study Luisa´s writings. I hope to share with you some beautiful "pearls" of the Divine Will in the near future.
 
Also, I will be sending you very soon all the information you will need for getting copies of the New, OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY OF LUISA, published in ENGLISH by the Vatican Press.  
Our Center for the Divine Will will be involved in distributing this Official Biography. I have read parts of the Italian version and was amazed to learn things about Luisa that I had not
known about her during the past 42 years of studying her life and writings.
