Garabandal Station 06

"Garabandal Station 06 commemorates the act of compassion by Veronica, who broke through the crowd to wipe Jesus's face with her veil. In reward for her brave charity, the image of Christ's face was miraculously imprinted on the cloth. At Garabandal, Mary calls each soul to be like Veronica—to perform acts of love and mercy even when opposed or ridiculed. The four young visionaries demonstrated such courage, remaining faithful to their testimony despite mockery and pressure to recant. This station teaches that small acts of love have eternal significance. The Garabandal messages remind us that visiting the Blessed Sacrament and showing reverence to Jesus truly present in the Eucharist mirrors Veronica's tender care for Christ.

Jesus Meets His Mother

V. We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.

Lord, give me Veronica's courage to acknowledge You publicly, especially when You are despised and rejected. How often do I remain silent when Your name is mocked? How often do I fail to defend You when You are blasphemed in my presence? Let me break through every barrier of human respect to show You honor and love.

After praying this station, you are invited to deepen your understanding through insights from Garabandal.

Apparition Insights

Srutiny and Testing

Throughout the Garabandal apparitions, the girls were subjected to intense scrutiny and testing by doctors, psychiatrists, Church officials, and skeptics. They were separated and questioned repeatedly, sometimes harshly, to try to find contradictions or evidence of fraud. Medical professionals performed examinations during their ecstasies, including painful tests, yet the girls remained completely oblivious to physical stimuli while in ecstasy. Despite this pressure and skepticism, their testimonies remained consistent over four years and into their adult lives, never wavering in the essential details of what they experienced.

Eucharist Adoration

Our Lady specifically highlighted the importance of the Holy Eucharist: "We must visit the Blessed Sacrament frequently." At the time, in the early 1960s, frequent Eucharistic adoration was not common practice among Catholics. This message anticipated the later decline in Eucharistic devotion and belief in the Real Presence that would trouble the Church. Mary was calling the faithful back to recognizing Jesus truly present in the tabernacle, waiting for souls to visit Him, console Him, and adore Him.

Profound Conversions

The Warning will cause such profound conversion that many will die of shock upon seeing the state of their souls, according to the visionaries' descriptions. However, those who survive will have been given the greatest gift—perfect knowledge of their spiritual state and what they must do to be saved. The Warning serves as preparation for the Miracle, allowing people to purify themselves before witnessing God's power manifested at Garabandal. Those who refuse to convert even after the Warning will be without excuse when judgment comes.
