Jesus Meets His MotherR. Because by Thy holy cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.
Mary, as you looked upon Your Son bloodied and bowed, You saw the fulfillment of Simeon's prophecy—the sword pierced Your Immaculate Heart. Yet You did not turn away. You did not beg Him to abandon His mission. Your presence was His comfort, Your faith His encouragement. Be present to me in my trials. Let me feel Your maternal gaze upon me, encouraging me to persevere in holiness despite the cost.
Apparition Insights
Small Miracle
The village of Garabandal consisted of only seventy families living a hard existence in the mountains, with limited access to the outside world. When the apparitions began, many villagers were initially skeptical, but the supernatural nature of the events became undeniable. On July 19, 1961, witnesses reported a "small miracle" when Conchita predicted she would receive Holy Communion from an angel, and observers saw a visible Host appear on her tongue, captured in photographs. This miraculous communion was repeated several times and helped establish the authenticity of the supernatural events occurring in the village.
Sincere Repentence
Our Lady stressed the critical importance of the family and motherhood: "I, your Mother, through the intercession of St. Michael the Archangel, wish to tell you that you should make amends." Mary identifies herself as Mother to all humanity, emphasizing that her maternal care extends to every soul. She desires reconciliation between God and His children, and she intercedes constantly for conversions. The message reveals that Mary weeps for souls lost to sin and rejoices over every sinner who returns to God through sincere repentance.
How God Sees You
The Warning will be a profoundly mystical experience during which each person will see themselves as God sees them. According to the visionaries, this illumination will reveal not only our sins but also the good we have failed to do—our sins of omission. It will show us how our actions (or inactions) have affected others and the ripple effects of our choices. This divine mercy aims to shock humanity into conversion before the Miracle occurs, giving everyone a chance to repent and amend their lives.
