Jesus Takes Up His CrossR. Because by Thy holy cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.
Lord, I confess that I resist my crosses. I complain, I bargain, I ask "Why me?" But You show me a different way—the way of love that transforms suffering into salvation. Help me see my daily trials, disappointments, and pains as opportunities to walk beside You, to unite my small sacrifices with Your infinite offering.
Apparition Insights
Extraordinary Phenomena
The apparitions at Garabandal took place during a period of over four years, with the young visionaries developing an intimate, almost familial relationship with the Blessed Virgin Mary. Witnesses reported extraordinary phenomena during the ecstasies: the girls would fall backwards onto sharp rocks without injury, walk backward at impossible speeds without stumbling, and exhibit perfect synchronization in their movements. A sweet, inexplicable fragrance often emanated from them during apparitions. The events attracted thousands of pilgrims from around the world, though the remote location and mountainous terrain made access difficult.
The Second Message
Our Lady's second message, delivered on June 18, 1965, specifically addressed the clergy: "Many Cardinals, Bishops and priests are following the road to perdition, and with them they are taking many more souls. Ever less importance is being given to the Holy Eucharist." This warning proved prophetic, as the statement seemed outrageous in 1965 when the Catholic priesthood was universally respected. The message called for a return to proper reverence for the Blessed Sacrament and warned that spiritual leaders bear grave responsibility for the souls entrusted to them.
A Great Miracle
Following the Warning, a great Miracle will occur at Garabandal within one year. Conchita González, the principal visionary, knows the exact date and will announce it eight days in advance. The Miracle will take place on a Thursday evening at 8:30 PM, will last approximately fifteen minutes, and will coincide with an event in the Church and the feast day of a Eucharistic martyr saint. The sick present will be healed, sinners will be converted, and the Pope will witness it from wherever he is located.
