CRITICISM of new United States President Joseph Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris that they tend towards the left reminds me not only of the Fatima apparitions but also those of Garabandal. This, on top of the observation of President Duterte’s striking leanings towards communist China.
In an interview in 1946, Fatima seer Lucia dos Santos said: “What Our Lady wants is that the Pope and all the bishops in the world shall consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart on one special day. If this is done, she will convert Russia and there will be peace. If it is not done, the errors of Russia will spread through every country in the world.”
Asked whether this meant that the entire world could be overrun by communism, Lucia said, “yes.”
Lucia was also asked about whether the United States would also fall into communist hands and again her reply was, “yes.”
It is believed that none of the popes since the Fatima apparitions have successfully consecrated Russia to the Immaculate Heart.
Such revelations on communism were incredible in 1946, but the emergence of unusual political events (if not politicians) these days seem to be laying the groundwork for such prophecy.
No less had been said by the visionaries of Garabandal, Spain (1961-65). While the Fatima apparitions were already approved by the Church, Garabandal has no approbation yet.
So again, before writing anything more about Garabandal in the context of communist threat, I sharing another information to insist on its credibility.
In 1962, on the second year of the Garabandal apparitions, St. Padre Pio was known to have written as follows to the girl visionaries of Garabandal: “Dear maidens, at nine o’clock this morning the Holy Virgin Mary spoke to me of you, dear young girls, of your visions and told me to tell you: O blessed girls of San Sebastian de Garabandal, Io I promise you that I will be with you until the end of the ages and you will be with Me until the end of the world, and then united with Me in the joy of Paradise “.
The letter continued: “I attach to the present the copy of the Holy Rosary of Fatima, which the Holy Virgin has ordered me to send you. This Rosary was dictated by the Holy Virgin , and wants it to be touted for the salvation of sinners and the preservation of humanity from worse punishments, which the good Lord is threatening. There is only one recommendation: pray and have them pray, because the world is on the road to perdition. They don’t believe in you and in your conversations with the white Lady, but they will believe it when it is too late “.
The four seers of Garabandal, Conchita, Mari-Loli, Jacinta and Mari Cruz received the letter on March 3, 1962.
Because the letter was written in Italian, seminarian Feliz Lopez translated it for the girls and even helped seer Conchita compose a thank you letter to Padre Pio. The Blessed Mother later confirmed to the seers that the letter was indeed from him.
Now back to the prophecy on communist threat. In an interview, author Christine Bocabeille asked seer Mari Loli: "If you are not allowed to tell me the exact year [of the Warning (I have written about this many times-Ding], perhaps you could tell me approximately when it will happen."
Mari Loli replies: "Yes, it will be at that time when the world will most need it."
"When is that?"
"When Russia will unexpectedly and suddenly overrun and overwhelm a great part of the free world. God does not want this to happen so quickly. In any case the Warning will come when you will see that Holy Mass cannot be celebrated freely anymore; then it will bethat the world will most need the intervention of God."
Later in an interview with Albrecht Weber in 1965, Conchita revealed that Our Lady told her: “When Communism comes again everything will happen.”
The author then asked: “What do you mean by ‘when communism‘comes again’?”
“Yes, when it newly comes again,” she replied.
“Does that mean that communism will go away before that?”
Reply: “I don’t know. The Blessed Virgin simply said ‘when communism comes again.’”.
It can also be noted that Serafin Gonzalez, brother of Conchita, heard his sister in ecstasy exclaim that the Warning will occur after the Church has been cruelly torn apart by “something like a schism.”
Now for recent messages from Heaven, I am sharing the words of the Blessed Mother as given to mystic Pedro Regis on January 19, 2021:
“Dear children, do not be afraid. My Jesus is with you. Encourage one another and testify to the true Love of God. Proclaim the Gospel of my Jesus, for only then will distant souls return to the truth.
“ I am your Mother and I have come from Heaven to call you to conversion. Be obedient to my Call. You have freedom, but it is best to do the Will of God.
“You will be persecuted for loving and defending the truth, but do not withdraw! After the Cross will come the victory.
“Seek strength in sincere prayer and in the Eucharist. Do not walk away from the Precious Food. My Lord expects much from you. Onward without fear!
“This is the message that I give you today in the name of the Most Holy Trinity. Thank you for having allowed Me to gather you here once more. I bless you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Be at peace.”
Note: True to the title of this column, I write this piece on my Chinese (not necessarily communist) phone, with the help of a US-made bluetooth keyboard. There is an announced power outage here where I live in Mabalacat City. God bless us all.
