Much information has been passed on to us
by the Blessed Mother through visions concerning the imminent Warning and the
coming Chastisement, but very little has been said concerning the Miracle.
Our Lady alone knows the date of the
Miracle. In speaking with Conchita, Our Lady permitted her to say only that it
will come some time after The Warning.
(According to additional information given
to us by our Blessed Mother, the Great Miracle of God the Father will occur
"within one year after The Warning.)
According to Mari-Loli Mazon (one of the
visionaries):
"The miracle will take place within
one year after the warning."
Conchita will announce the date of the
miracle eight days prior to its occurrence.
The miracle will take place in
Garabandal, in the pine grove, and beThe Pine Grove visible to all who are in
the village or the surrounding mountains. In Conchita’s words, the miracle will
be “very great because the world’s needs are very great.” It will be “a miracle
of the love of God, something that will manifest His love to us in an
outstanding way”.
Conchita
Gonzalez:
"The Blessed Virgin advised me of a
great miracle, saying that God, Our Lord, would perform it through her
intercession. Just as the chastisement will be very, very great, in keeping
with the needs of the world.
"The Blessed Virgin has told me the
date of the miracle and what it will consist of. I am suppose to announce it eight days in
advance, so that people will come. The Pope will see it from wherever he is,
and Padre Pio also [he is reliably reported to have seen the miracle before he
died]. The sick who are present at the miracle will be cured and the sinners
will be converted.
"It will coincide with an event in
the Church and with the feast of a saint who is a martyr of the Eucharist, and
it will take place at eight-thirty on a Thursday evening. It will be visible not only to all those who
are in the village but also to those in the surrounding mountains. It will be
the greatest miracle that Jesus has performed for the world. There won't be the
slightest doubt that it comes from God and that it is for the good of
mankind. A permanent sign will remain
forever as a result of the great miracle.
It will be of supernatural origin and something that has never been seen
before on earth.
| Conchita Gonzalez, seer of Garabandal |
"There will be no doubt in the mind
of anyone who sees this great miracle which God, Our Lord, will perform through
the intercession of the Blessed Virgin. And now as we await this great day of
the miracle, let us see if the world changes and the chastisement is
averted."
On September 14, 1965, Conchita said:
"The sign that will remain forever at the pines is something we will be
able to photograph, televise and see, but not touch. It will be evident that it is not a thing of
this world but from God."
At another time, concerning the great
Miracle, she added that, "it would last about 15 minutes."
On August 10, 1971, while talking to a
group of Americans, she offered this revealing information: "It will take
place on or between the eighth and sixteenth of March, April or May. It will
not happen in February or June." Eight days in advance of the Miracle
Conchita will give notice to the world about its coming.
