I wish I knew this when I was younger, but it’s never too late to do the right thing. Start now - pray, fast on Wed & Fri, read the Bible daily, go to confession and receive the Eucharist as much as possible. It makes me so sad when there are only a handful of people at adoration but at least I’m not the only one. You can do this too. Thank you Fr Luke.

[@brentonjones1365]

Hi Father, thank you for some very wise words. At about 26:30 you talk about everything spiralling out of control and compare to how things were just 2 years ago. A touchstone for me is 2013, when my father passed away. Even without the madness of the last 2 years, I don't think Dad would recognise the world as it is now. I've heard Ralph Martin say on a number of occasions that while this may not be *The* Great Apostacy, we are still in a time of great apostacy, and need to be a light in the darkness.

Thank you Father. I’ve listened to and enjoyed a lot of your talks. I’m saddened that you would make a broad stoke negative comment about Mark Mallet and his work (Count Down to the Kingdom) Mark has been a voice in the wilderness for over 20 years. His writings on The Now Word do everything to encourage exactly what you talked about today. Repentance, turn to the sacraments, prayer, The Word, Our Lady as our Arc. He is such a holy and dedicated man of God. He has given his whole life over to spreading the Gospel and encouraging souls to prepare to meet our Lord.

What turns me off about Garabandal are the creepy gymnastics that the girls were performing. Decades ago, I was home alone at night when I started watching a documentary about Garabandal. When it showed the part about the girls walking backwards while looking straight up at the sky, I got scared like I was watching a horror movie. Why would Our Lady make it so that we would have that kind of feeling during one of her apparitions? If I were to see a person in town walking down the street backwards while looking straight up at the sky, I would run away screaming. And what exactly were the girls looking at so continuously?

Very sound, very wise and prudent...no dates! Mark Mallet and Daniel o Connor know what they are saying, and they consider greatly Garabandal. I was actually surprised you spoke of countdown to the kingdom in the tone you did. I suggest you look it up, The Now Word and Countdown to the Kingdom.

[@leslierusso4869]

I knew about Garabandal through the True Life in God Messages to Vassula Ryden... Jesus says that Garabandal is the continuation of Fatima... it's more than 15 years I'm a reader of TLIG messages....they brought me back to the Church and Sacraments after being 1 year with the Protestants...

[@Craphithefan]

Looking at the way or how those children 'bodies were bent and twisted gives me chills so that I didn't want to watch it ever again since it looks scary and almost like straight from h.ll. Besides that, the fact that "Mary" appeared while those kids were stealing apples/committing a sin makes even more difficult to comprehend and to accept that this apparition comes from the right place. BTW, the very similar situation was with Medjugorje where the kids/teenagers were smoking cigarettes and the priest who was originally promoting it, he seduced a nun, not to mention the unfulfilled promise of receiving "New Eyes" which is a straight mockery to Jesus 'miracles.

[@jtg3765]

What grates me about the Joey event is that devotees easily explain it away. I've visited a Facebook page where devotees have claimed that they would still believe in Garabandal if Conchita died before announcing the miracle two weeks prior, as predicted. [One cannot respectfully criticize any sentiments on that Facebook page, because one will get kicked off and have their messages deleted.] Basically, no presumed false prophesy of Garabandal would convince a brainwashed devotee who is not being watchful and respectfully critical of private revelation, not yet approved by the Church. That disturbs me, too, since Scripture details the signs of false prophesy. But, hey, throw that away, too. Is this private revelation preempting public revelation again?

[@greggrimer1428]

I can assure you that Conchita will die and people will claim she will announce it with a spiritual mouth or some such nonsense.

Dear Father, I asked all those questions myself, but the warning, etc... Is mentioned numerous times in other messages, and or scripture. For one, Our Blessed Mother mentioned the Warning at least three times in the Marian Movement of Priests handbook. For those watching and praying, God gives signs too numerous to count.

[@Who63]

But these girls walked backward without falling grabbing rosary’s without looking from up to the sky and gave back the rosary’s without looking. They pricked them with needles in their eyes and skin. I believe this miracle. Talk about Medjugorjie where not one of these visionaries joined a convent.

[@jtg3765]

The Gospel teaches that no one knows the last day, and Jesus will come like a thief in the night. If Garabandal is false private revelation, one motive of Satan would be to mislead souls that Christ's return will not happen until, at least, the intermediary warning, miracle, and chastisements occur. So, no one should need worry so much of the Gospel Christ's coming like a thief in the night, unexpected. We at least presumably know now that He won't come until several intermediate events occur. What gives anyone the right to preempt Christ's warning to watch out for his unexpected coming by placing such intermediaries between us and the final coming? No one needs to worry for now, at least. How many souls might easily get lax, unconsciously, because of this? Does private revelation preempt public revelation here? Given this, why should Satan care how many rosaries are said or those who fall for the devotion, so long as he has misled souls by lowering their watch for Christ's coming. And, yes, the ensuing sensationalism! It seems that several other saints and mystics have predicted an illumination of conscious as well, so such an event might happen still (I hope; I believe), but whether Satan is using this known prophesy for other motives in Garabandal, if false, is uncertain.

[@miriamsamaniego3335]

Yes. Our Lady of Garabandal was very upset by 1965, and told the seers that She wasn’t giving more warnings because the cup was half full when she first appeared in 1961, and then the cup was full in 1965! The cup must be an ocean by now with all of the sexual immorality going on in our world. Celebrating abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism, immodest clothing, sexual deviance etc, etc. Jesus told Saint Faustina that even the smallest sin gravely offends God. I can’t begin to imagine how angry God is with mankind now!! Mary also has said that most people in hell are there because they didn’t believe it existed and, of course, impurity sins. She said souls are falling into hell like snowflakes in a storm!! That’s so sad and horrible!!

Please be careful with your theology. Only God can effect a "supernatural" event, not the devil, demons, or any other creatures. Satan might mimic a supernatural event by something that is super-human (angelic/demonic power), but this is only a "preternatural" event, not supernatural. God alone is Supernatural. Yes, the strange behavior of the girls' walking disturbs me: it seems preternatural. Mary never exhorted such unnatural, inhuman behavior on the children of Fatima or La Salette, for instance. A mother just does not do this, not to mention the rosary/holy-object parlor tricks (locating their owners). It all seems a degradation of human nature. Grace always elevates human nature, and not degrade it.

Would you put Medjugorje in the same bracket as Garabandal or is Medjugorje a full blown hoax?

[@jtg3765]

@@MikeyJMJ I would think a hoax refers to an apparition in which the receiver is being outright deceitful and often for personal gain. Our Lady at Bayside New York is probably of this class. I wouldn't say that Garabandal was a hoax of this sort. The question of discernment is whether it is a preternatural deception. I fully believe that the seers of Garabandal were sincere, but are they deceived? I do find it hard that such seers now live secluded secretive lives, rather than giving public witness still today - like Bernadette did her whole life and Sr. Lucia, etc. The Garabandal seers became almost embarrassed of their experiences and wanted to move on. I guess nothing says they cannot do just that. Similarly, in answer to your question, I would not think that the seers at Medjugorje are knowingly perpetrating a hoax. So, no, it's not a full-blown hoax, just as Garabandal is not. I guess in that way they are in the same bracket.

In Fatima, had the Sun danced, the planets would have been shaken out of their orbits and the solar system would colapse. The phenomena happened but It was a flying saucer with a crew with technology to control the atmosphere conditions such as humidity, clouds, rain, etc. They also had power to control human minds and did It with Lucia. In Garabandal this becomes clear as we see those girls running forwards and backwards with a flash of light in their faces with expressions of terror. The Virgin Mary would not do that and not appeared. She would never: - Show terrifying scenes of the hell to 7 and 8 year old children daunting them so that they accepted the inhumane penance imposed to them. - Command a girl to drink dirty water from a small pond and to crawl eating grass like an animal. - Introduce herself saying "I am the mother of the Living God". - Print her image on a mantle or on a medal in order to be venerated. - Ask for a chapel be built in her honor. - Wish to be an alternative to the Holy Father for prayer and requests of graces. - Ask for somebody to pray the Rosary or even one Ave Maria. The Virgin Mary has not the powers of being Omniscient, Omnipresent and Omnipotent to know, listen to and be by the side of everyone of Her millions devotees at the same time, fulltime, All around the World. The Mary of the Church is a fictitious figure idealized by SATAN to dispute with the Holy Father and Jesus the attention and the prayer of the faithful who flocked to Mary showing that they love and trust more Maria than Our Holy Father and Jesus. In the KZbin video Sister Lucia from Fatima Interview 1957, Lucia invented a message in the wich Jesus was completely excluded from God's plan for our salvation and replaced by the Rosary and the Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This lie proved that Lucia was a LIAR AND A FALSE PROPHET!!

I don’t buy into countdown to the kingdom, too many ‘seers’ including the ridiculous clown Fr Rodriguez.
