From the video: On November 15, 2021, a book entitled “The end times are here: the seer Jacinta of Garabandal breaks her silence” was published in Spain. The author, José María Zavala, interviewed Jacinta for 8 hours over the summer. The interview is a gift from heaven to counteract the recent interview to Mari Cruz, the most controversial seer of Garabandal who has cast doubts on her own memory of the apparitions in the past. The author asks Jacinta at her home in California: What do you think of these statements from the girl with whom you shared such extraordinary experiences? Jacinta’s response was resounding: I didn’t know, but it doesn’t surprise me either. I can only assure you, as far as I am concerned, that I have not imagined anything at all. What I affirm is what really happened, everything is absolutely true. Now why did it happen? This I do not know. But it happened and it’s what really matters. I have everything etched forever in my mind and in my heart”. Zavala continues to ask: Why do you think Mari Cruz says that now? And Jacinta responds: “She has always maintained that doubt and I don’t really know why. Her mother got very nervous with the apparitions. In my case, I did not have that problem: although my mother did not quite believe in them until the end, my father’s confident stance supported me in difficult times. I can only add that I had parents who practiced the faith and maybe Mari Cruz lacked that spiritual guide. ” In this interview with Jacinta, the seer of Garabandal, we are surprised by the depth and clarity of her thought, since we have always seen her as a very simple and humble woman who for 60 years has spoken publicly on very few occasions. In this book Jacinta appears as a giant of faith and with a continuous relationship with Jesus and Our Lady, showing an enormous love for Jesus in the Eucharist. She says that “without daily mass I could not live. She speaks with devotion for the priests who bring the sacraments. In this interview an analysis is made of the growth of evil in the world, with the apparent triumph of Satan in all fields. But despite this apparent triumph, Jacinta’s reflections are a hymn to hope, to the assurance that Christ is the one who will triumph, remembering that in Spain the Heart of Jesus will finally reign with predilection (with reference to the words of Jesus to the Blessed Father Bernardo de Hoyos). Jacinta calls to ask for more faith to those who already have it and above all to ask for the gift of faith for those who do not have it. “The absence of God; says Jacinta; causes the most absolute unhappiness. ” And she adds: “There is no suffering comparable to that of souls who live in darkness, without joy or hope”. Likewise, Jacinta invites us to live day by day in simplicity and to surrender ourselves to God’s will at all times; without any fear for the future because with God everything that happens will be for our good. Using her words: “if we are with God we have nothing to fear. ” She comments on the great pain she had when on January 13, 1963, she stopped seeing Our Lady. She remembers that after having seen her that day they denied her due to the pressures of the new priest of Garabandal who continually threatened them with not giving them Holy Communion anymore if they did not deny. After doing so she repented and from that moment on she did not see Our Lady again. She recalls that Our Lady had already warned them that one day they would deny her. It was according to Jacinta the saddest day of her life. Jacinta says that her life has been marked by the apparitions and the imprint left by the visions of Our Mother in her mind and in her heart. But she was especially marked by the vision she had of the Sacred Heart just two days before seeing Our Lady for the first time and whose gaze pierced her soul, sealing her forever. She tells that throughout her life she has had that presence of Jesus that looks at her at all times. She says that throughout the day she maintains a dialogue with Jesus and that she always feels herself observed by Him (“that look of His remains etched in the depths of my being after so many years”). Jacinta opens herself and talks about some gifts she has had in her life. For example, that of prophetic dreams and locutions with Our Lady and it seems that also with Our Lord, who let her know things that she cannot speak about. She reaffirms with total security that there will be a Warning and a Miracle (of which she says that only Conchita knows what it will consist of). She also confirms that if the world does not change there will be a Chastisement that will affect the righteous and the sinners.
So here we have a seer who goes to daily Mass, who has a continuous dialogue with Jesus (prayer) throughout the day, everyday. She assures us that the warning, and miracle are still to come, and the chastisement is conditional.
The Great Tribulation — Communism While reminiscing about the images of suffering shown by Our Lady during the «Nights of Screams» to the visionaries of Garabandal, one of them, Mari Loli, wrote: “we saw a great multitude of people who were suffering intensely and screaming in terror”. Our Lady said that this great tribulation is called Communism. In 1965, another visionary of Garabandal, Conchita Gonzalez, was interviewed by Albrecht Weber, the author of the book «Garabandal — The Finger of God» («Garabandal—Der Zeigefinger Gottes»). Conchita told him that, according to the explanation of the Virgin Mary, the tribulation will begin “When communism comes again.” On Novenber 14, 1965, Conchita told Weber: “The pope will go to Russia, to Moscow. As soon as he returns to the Vatican, hostilities will break out in different parts of Europe.” Our Lady told many times to the Garabandal visionaries that “a time would come when it would seem that communism had mastered or engulfed the whole world”. The visionaries saw that “the communists would have taken over the whole world and it would be very hard to practise the religion, for priests to say Mass or for people to open the doors of the churches”. This conclusion was derived not only from the vision in front of the eyes of the girls, Our Lady herself explained this to the visionaries of Garabandal.
They were talking in terms of end times, a sign at the end times , if you look at the biblical context
Hi PadrePioFan, We must read everything in scripture in context with who God is addressing and what He is teaching. Matthew 12:38-41 38 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.” 39 He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here. The phrase “sign of Jonah” was used by Jesus in response to the Pharisees, (the ruling priest hierarchy of His time) it was used as a typological metaphor for His future crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. Jesus answered with this expression when asked by the Pharisees for miraculous proof that He was indeed the Messiah. The Pharisees remained unconvinced of Jesus’ claims about Himself, despite His having just cured a demon-possessed man who was both blind and mute. Shortly after the Pharisees accused Jesus of driving out demons by the power of Satan, Then they said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.” He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here” I believe Our Lord Jesus, told the Pharisees this, because He knew, that a miracle or sign would not be enough. So instead, Jesus preforms the greatest Miracle and sign of all time for them! His death and Resurrection! Yet they still refused to believe. Over the last 2000 years, many evil and adulterous generations and individuals have been recipients of Gods signs and wonders, especially in the lives of saints, and in Nations such as the Mexican Aztecs (with Our Lady of Guadalupe) and at Fatima as Garabandal states above! These evil and adulterous generations and civilisations received tremendous signs. Praise be Jesus! Let us pray we will receive a warning/sign very soon! Our world wide present society/culture is far more evil and adulterous then the pagan (child slaughtering, idol worshipping) society of the Aztecs were; before the wonderous signs and miraculous interventions of Our Lady of Guadalupe !
