Garabandal. Interview with Conchita. Bishop GarmendiaInterview with Conchita. Bishop Garmendia (1981-08-27)‹…›
Bishop:
Does the general public have doubts about the apparitions?
‹…›
Bishop:
So
you believe in the Virgin blindly and you always refer us to what she told you. There's another subject I'd like to bring up, Conchita, and that is Holy Communion. I understand that the Virgin told you girls that if there were priests present the Angel would not give you Communion;
that the Angel would only give Communion when there were no priests present. However, I understand that on the day of the Miracle of the
[Visible]
Communion there were some thirty priests in Garabandal. Can you clarify this?
Bishop:
So, the Virgin did not categorically tell you the Angel will give you Communion only when there are no priests in the village, did she?
‹…›
Bishop:
As for the present Bishop of Santander, is he going to have a special sign before the Miracle?
Will it be something that happens in nature or something in general?
Bishop:
What kind of proof?
Bishop:
So, it will be for the one who is Bishop at the time of the Miracle?
Bishop:
So the Bishop will receive a sign and he will know that Garabandal is true. This is clear now. You know, Conchita, that we are attracted to Garabandal because we love the Virgin. We know she utilizes humble people and means like at Lourdes and Fatima and other apparitions. It has been said that the Virgin told you the Miracle will be on a Thursday. Is this true?
Bishop:
Are you sure?
Did you check it on the calendar?
Bishop:
I am so glad to hear this. I had been told that you knew it was to be a Thursday, and began to guess at the dates. But the Virgin told you the exact date, the exact month and the exact year. No one need have any doubts now. If everything in life were so perfectly clear there would be no problems. I heard you were in Rome.
Bishop:
I don't want to press you, but what happened?
Bishop:
Can you tell us your impressions of Rome?
I imagine a girl from Garabandal, a remote mountain village, would have a lot to say about Rome, right?
‹…›
Bishop:
… Are there any other relationships between Rome, the Holy Father and the Miracle that you would like to talk about?
Bishop:
I want this to be very clear to all who hear this tape. Conchita was very precise. The Virgin told you that before the Miracle…?
Bishop:
So the Virgin spoke to you about the end of the times?
Bishop:
So after John XXIII came Paul VI, John Paul I and then John Paul II. So look out, the noose is tightening!
It's the Virgin who is speaking.
Bishop:
So she said there would not be another world war. There have been local conflagrations, and much has been said about a coming world war. The situation is very tense, but a world war would be the end of nations.
Bishop:
You caution against rushing things and speculating. You prefer that all be left in the hands of God. You have complete confidence in Him.
Bishop:
People are always looking for new things. I agree with you;
let God and the Blessed Virgin handle it in their own way. You aren't searching for great things, you are simply living a Christian life just as the Blessed Virgin said to.
Bishop:
Each day you live it.
Bishop:
That is what the Gospels and Our Lady say;
to live the Christian life every day. This is what you mean, right?
