The
Warning
Interviews with The Seers

Special Edition by The Workers of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel
Important
NOTE Added on August 19, 2010
Please be advised that: The
Warning,
Miracle
and
Sign
conditionally announced at the
time of the Garabandal phenomena
(1) at San Sebastián
de Garabandal, Spain, between 1961 and 1965
will not come to pass.
The world is heading, without
further ado,
directly into
the Chastisement, which was also conditionally announced in Garabandal
and Akita
(2),
and which we have
independently confirmed several times since 1992.
Originally we did not intend to explain the theology regarding this
notification any further, however, on September 30th, 2010, God allowed
us to explain the reasoning behind this matter
(3).
We encourage each and every one of you to act upon this information as
it were the proverbial "Gospel Truth" - you have
nothing to lose by heeding
this advise, but
much to lose
if it is ignored.
This announcement should in no way - directly or indirectly - cast a
doubt on the events of Garabandal which, without a doubt, were real and
from Heaven. However, we all must remember that the Garabandal
phenomena was not concluded when Mary revealed those dates, which were
obviously conditional, and depended on how those who were entrusted
with the
Evangelization of His children acted
(4).
We suggest that the guidelines on
"What
to do?" that we published long ago
(5) be taken out from the
"Hope (it doesn't happen) Chest" and followed,
now.
With the above said - miguel de Portugal now makes St. Paul's words his
own:
I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of any of you.
For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God. Keep
watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has
made you overseers. [Acts 20:26-28]
(1) Garabandal
(2) Akita
(3) On September
30th, 2010, God has allowed us to explain
the reasoning behind this
(4) The
manipulation of revealed dates
(5) What can we do? Part 1 and Part
2
INTRODUCTION by The M+G+R
Foundation
Since the apparitions of Garabandal ended
in 1965, visionaries Conchita, Mari Loli, and Jacinta have, from time
to time, granted interviews in which they have revealed what they can
remember and are able to say about the coming worldwide Warning. In
each of these interviews, although the same questions are frequently
asked about the event, it often happens that new or supportive
information, or a different perspective comes to light.
We must also keep in mind that the
visionaries reported what they claim to recall they saw and
heard - at one time or another. This, however, does not assure that the
conclusions drawn about what they saw and/or heard are correct, due
to the complexity of the subject matter - a complex matter which is
being projected through simple and uneducated minds.
September 14, 1965 (A)(*)
(*) All references may be
found at the end of this
document.
Q. Will the Warning be a visible thing
or an interior thing or both?
A. The Warning is a thing that
comes directly from God and will be visible throughout the entire
world, in whatever place anyone might be.
Q. Will the Warning reveal
personal sins to every person in the world and to persons of all faith,
including atheists?
A. Yes, the Warning will be like a
revelation of our sins, and it will be seen and experienced equally by
believers and non-believers and people of any religion whatsoever.
Q. Is it true that the Warning
will cause many people to remember the dead?
A. The Warning is like a
purification for the Miracle. And it is a sort of a catastrophe. It
will make us think of the dead, that is, we would prefer to be dead
than to experience the Warning.
Q. Will the Warning be
recognized and accepted by the world as a direct sign from God?.
A. Certainly, and for this reason
I believe it is impossible that the world could be so hardened as not
to change.
October, 1968 (B)
Q. We have heard that some say the
Warning may be a natural phenomenon but will be used by God to speak to
mankind. Is this true?
A. The Warning is something
supernatural and will not be explained by science. It will be seen and
felt.
Q. Conchita, can you explain the
statement that during the Warning we will know ourselves and the sins
we have committed?
A. The Warning will be a
correction of the conscience of the world.
Q. What about the many people
who do not know Christ; how will they understand the Warning?.
A. For those who do not know
Christ (non-christian) they will believe it is a Warning from God.
1973 (C)
Q. What will occur on the day of the
Warning?
A. The most important thing about
that day is that everyone in the whole world will see a sign, a grace,
or a punishment within themselves - in other words, a Warning. They
will find themselves all alone in the world no matter where they are at
the time, alone with their conscience right before God. They will then
see all their sins and what their sins have caused.
Q. Will we all feel it at the
same time?
A. Yes, at the same time.
Q. How long will it last, a half
hour, an hour?
A. I really don't know. I think
that five minutes would be an adequate time.
Q. How will we feel it?
A. We will all feel it differently
because it will depend on our conscience. The Warning will be very
personal, therefore, we will all react differently to it. The most
important thing will be to recognize our own sins and the bad
consequences of them. You will have a different view of the Warning
than me because your sins are different from mine.
Q. Will something happen to me
because of my sins? I mean will physical harm come upon me as a result
of them?
A. No, unless it's something that
results from the sick, for example, a heart attack.
Q. So then it will bring no
physical harm but will consist of facing God alone with my sins. How
about the good things; will I see them also?
A. No. This will be only a Warning
to see what you have done with your sins. It will be like a
purification before the Miracle to see if with the Warning and Miracle
we (meaning the whole world) will be converted.
Q. So this Warning can occur any
day now?
A. Yes, but I don't know the
date when it will occur.
February, 1977 (D)
Q. When did you learn about the
Warning and from whom?
A. The only thing that I remember
well is that it was the Virgin who told me of it.
Q. Would you repeat for us what
you know about the Warning?
A. What I remember now is that the
Virgin told me that before the Miracle God will be sending us a Warning
so as to purify us or prepare us to see the Miracle and in this way we
may draw enough grace to change our lives toward God. She told me
what the Warning will consist of but not the date. I am not able to
say what it consists of but I am able to say what it will be like, more
or less. It is a phenomenon which will be seen and felt in all the
world and everywhere; I have always given as an example that of two
stars that collide. This phenomenon will not cause physical damage, but
it will horrify us because at that very moment we will see our souls
and the harm we have done. It will be as though we were in agony but we
will not die by its effects but perhaps we will die of fright or shock
to see ourselves. May the Virgin forgive me if I do not explain it the
way it is, but I am trying to tell you ...after knowing what the
Warning will be like that day.
Q. Did you 'see' or 'hear' about
the Warning?
A. The Virgin told me of its
coming.
Q. If the Warning only last a
short time, will the world remember it as coming from God or will it
only appear to have been a dream or an illusion?
A. I have never said that the
Warning will be a short moment. What I have said is that even if it
were a moment it will be very impressive and terrible. No one will have
doubts of it being from God, and of its not being human. I, who know
what it is am very much afraid of that day.
Q. Many years ago you told us
the event of the Warning begins with the letter"A." Since Our Lady
never told you not to reveal it, can you now mention it?
A. She did not forbid it, but I
don't know why I haven't said it and I don't feel as though I should
say it now.
Q. You once said to Fr.
Marcelino Andreu, "When you see the Warning you will know we have
opened up the end of time." Can you explain what you meant by this?
A. The Virgin told us that the
Warning and Miracle will be the last warnings for public spectaculars
that God will give us. This is why I believe that after them we will be
near the end of time.
Q. Do you have any words of
advice for the people in order that they might prepare for this event?
A.We must all ways be prepared
with our souls in peace and not tie ourselves down so much to this
world. Instead, we must think very often that we are here to go to
heaven and to be saints.
August, 1980 (E)
Q. It (the Warning) is not going to
hurt you?
A. No. To me, it's like two
stars.. that crash and make a lot of noise and a lot of light but they
don't fall... It's something that's not going to hurt us but we're
going to see it. In that moment, we're going to see our conscience.
You're going to see everything wrong that you're doing.
Q. You're going to see
everything wrong that you're doing?
A. Yes. And you're going to see
the good that you're not doing.
NOTE
and Alert:
In accordance with the book of Ramón
Pérez, "
The Village Speaks" (pp 29-30) ("
El Pueblo
Habla" (pp 37-38), which is the most comprehensive recompilation of
the Garabandal events: On January 1, 1965 the Virgin Mary revealed,
for
the first time ever and
to Conchita alone, while at the
Pines, the information regarding the Warning. During the same
apparition the Virgin Mary revealed the nature of the Chastisement.
The seriousness of this anomaly is that
the only other reported communications between the Virgin Mary and any
of the visionaries
after January 1st, 1965, were as follows:
- On June 18, 1965, St. Michael the
Archangel delivers the final message from the Virgin Mary to Conchita.
- On October 24, 1965, Mari Loli has a locution from the Virgin Mary
letting her know that she will have many doubts as to what she saw and
heard.
- On November 13, 1965, the Virgin Mary appears to Conchita for the
last
time.
Where then did Mari Loli get the
information about the Warning? The only value that may be placed in her
comments about the Warning - regardless of the claims made - would be
that of hearsay and not of primary witness. We therefore recommend that
they be ignored unless someone, with greater historical authority than
Ramón Pérez, can prove to us otherwise.
July 27, 1975 (F)
Q. You have said that you know
the
year of the Warning. Can you tell us if it will occur in the next
few years or is it still in the distant future?
A. No. I can't say anything.
Q. Did the Blessed Mother tell
you not to speak about the Warning?
A. No, she didn't , but, because
the Warning and the Miracle are within the same year, I feel it inside
not to say anything.
Q. How do you know the Warning
and the Miracle are within the same year"
A. During an apparition-I don't
remember just when- the Blessed Virgin told me.
Q. Reportedly, you have said
that when the Warning occurs everything will stand still, even planes
in the sky. Is this true?
A. Yes, but just for a few moments.
Q. You mean that everything will
stop at a given moment and at that moment the Warning will occur?
A. Yes.
Q. When was this information
revealed to you?
A. During an apparition the
Blessed Virgin told me all this.
Q. Was all the information given
you during one apparition, or did Our Lady tell you this over several
apparitions?
A. She told me all of this during
one apparition. I don't remember now if she spoke about the Warning
during any other apparition.
Q. Do you know how long the
Warning will last?
A. Jest a few minutes.
Q. Are you afraid of the Warning?
A. Yes. Like everyone else, I have
faults, and the warning will show me my faults and this makes me afraid.
Q. Can you tell us anything else
about the Warning?
A. All I can say is that it is
very close and that it is very important that we prepare ourselves
because it will be a terrible thing. It will make us feel all the wrong
we have done.
February, 1977 (D)
Q. Have you ever discussed with
Conchita the dates of the Warning of which you know the year, and the
Miracle which she knows?
A. I have never talked to
Conchita about these dates.
Q. Have you any words of advice
for the people in order that they might prepare for this event?
A. To do much penance, make
sacrifices, visit the Blessed Sacrament every day that we are able to,
and to pray the holy rosary daily.
September 29, 1978 (G)
Q. Since you are the one who
knows
the most about the Warning will you tell us if this event is to take
place before the Miracle promised through Conchita Gonzalez?
A. ..Everyone will experience it
wherever they may be, regardless of their condition or their knowledge
of God...It will be an interior personal experience. it will look as if
the world has come to a standstill,...however, no one will be aware of
that as they will be totally absorbed in their own experience.
Q. About the nature of the
Warning, how do you sense it:
A. It is going to be something
like and interior feeling of sorrow and pain for having offended God.
God will help us to see clearly the harm we are causing Him and all the
evil things we do. He will help us to sense this interior pain because
often when we do something wrong we just ask the Lord's forgiveness
with our lips, but now (through the Warning) He will help us sense
physically that deep sorrow.
October 19, 1982 (H)
Q. Do you remember what the Blessed
Mother said about the communist tribulation that is to precede the
Warning?
A. It would look like the
communists have taken over the whole world and it would be very hard to
practice the religion, for priests to say Mass or for the people to
open the doors of the churches.
Q. Is that what you meant when
you said that it would seem as though the Church had disappeared?
A. Yes.
Q. It would be because of the
persecution and not because the people would stop practicing their
religion?
A. Yes, but I guess a lot of
people will stop. Whoever practices it will have to go into hiding.
Q. Will this only be in Europe
or do you think it will be here in the United States as well?
A. I don't know because for me at
that time, Europe was the whole world. I just assumed it was that way.
The Blessed Mother didn't specify in what place. To me it looked like
it was everywhere.
Q. Approximately 67% of the earth's
land is now dominated by communism. Do you think that's sufficient to
fulfill Our Lady's prophecy?
A. I really don't know. It sounded
to me like it would be more that.
Q. In other words you think it
will be worse that it is now?
A. That's what I thought from what
she said but I really don't know exactly. To me it looked more like it
was every place out there, the places I saw in my mind. In a lot of
countries in Europe you can still practice your religion.
Q. So, the situation in the
world is not bad enough for the Warning to happen?
A. The Warning is not going to
happen yet so it's probably going to get worse.
Q. You said that it would be
very difficult for priests to say Mass. Was this something that the
Blessed Mother told you or was it something that you thought yourself
because of the communist tribulation?
A. From what I remember, it was
something she said.
Q. And the Virgin said that it would
seem as though the Church had disappeared?
A. Yes.
Q. Did the Blessed Mother ever
say anything about the Holy Father having to leave Rome at the time of
the Warning?
A. No, But what it looked like to
me-maybe at this time I was confusing in my mind what I was seeing and
what the Blessed Mother was saying to me because it's been so many
years- but what it looked like to me was that the Pope couldn't be in
Rome either, you know what I mean, out in the open. He was being
persecuted, too, and had to hide just like everybody else.
Q. You said that when the
Warning comes, the planes would stop in the air and that all engines
would stop. is this what the Blessed Mother told you?
A. She said that everything,
everywhere, for a moment would stop and the people would just think and
look inside themselves.
Q. Will there be any noise with
the Warning like a wind blowing?
A. The way I saw it at the time,
it was more like a big silence, like a sense of emptiness. Everything
was very silent. That's the way I saw it.
Q. Seven years ago you said
that the Warning was soon. Many people thought it would have happened
by now. What would you say today?
A. It is soon. Everything looks
soon to me because time goes by so fast.
Q. You're the only one who
knows the year of the Warning. Did you ever tell it to anyone else,
like a priest for example?
A. No.
Q. Will people be fighting with
one another when the warning comes?
A. (no answer)

A. Yes, she spoke to me about
it but she never told me the year...
February, 1977 (D)
Q. Can you tell us what the Warning
will be like?
A. The Warning is something that
is first seen in the air everywhere in the world and immediately is
transmitted into the interior of our souls. It will last for a very
little time, but it will seem a very long time because of its effect
within us. It will be for the good of our souls, in order to see in
ourselves our conscience, the good (*) and the
bad that we've
done. Then we'll feel a great love toward our heavenly parents and ask
forgiveness for all our offenses.
(*) Conchita says that we
will only see the bad.
Q. Will the Warning be felt by
all people regardless of their beliefs?
A. The Warning is for everybody
because God wants our salvation. The Warning is in order for us to draw
closer to Him and to increase our faith. Therefore, one should prepare
for that day, but not awaiting it with fear because God doesn't send
things for the sake of fear but rather with justice and love and He
does it for the good of all His children that they might enjoy eternal
happiness and not be lost.
Q. Do you recall anything about
a
great tribulation, communism...?
A. Yes , it was an invasion,
well, something that seemed to me like an invasion; something that was
a great evil in which communism played a great part, but I no
longer remember which countries or what region was stricken. The
Blessed Virgin insisted in telling us to pray (that it be averted). These
difficult events will take place before the Warning because the Warning
itself will take place when the situation will be at its worst.
Q. In a 1979 interview (above), you
said in describing the communist tribulation that "it was like an
invasion. " Did you see scenes of this invasion?
A. The Virgin said that the
Warning would come when conditions were at their worst. It wouldn't
be just the persecution either because many people will no longer be
practicing their religion.
Q. When the Warning comes it
will be seen and felt by everyone on earth. Does this include little
children who have not yet reached the age of reason?
A. Yes. That's why we felt sorry
for them because it was such a terrifying experience.
Q. Can you tell us anything
about what the world will be like when the Warning comes?
A. Bad.
