THE WARNING

The following is a comprehensive look at one
of the great prophesied events of Garabandal
based on interviews with Mari Loli.

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, I feel it inside not to say anything because the Warning and the Miracle are within the same year (within a 12 month period, not necessarily the same year, Loli clarified).

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 revealed to you?
A. During an apparition the Blessed Virgin told me.

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 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. Just 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. Do you have any advice for people so they might prepare for this event?
A. To do much penance, make sacrifices, visit the Blessed Sacrament every day we are able to.

SEPTEMBER 29, 1978 (G)

Q. Since you are the one who knows the most about the Warning, what can you tell us of this event?
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 an 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 difficult to practice 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. This would happen because of the persecution and not because 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. You said that it would be very difficult for priests to say Mass. Was this something the Blessed Mother told you or was it something you thought yourself because of the communist tribulation?
A. From what I remember, it was something she said.

Q. And was it the Virgin who 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. 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)
