To review: the Blessed Mother said in Garabandal that unreformed mankind will head towards an unprecedented Chastisement unless it reforms. But the Chastisement will be preceded by two events, namely, the Warning and the Miracle.
There are some followers of Garanbandal who are now saying that God may yet dispense with the Warning and Miracle and allow Chastisement befall the unrepentant world. But perhaps not.
This piece is still on the Warning, this time from visionary Mari Loli. As in the case of Conchita, the interviews of Mari Loli were held at various times by different people. The dates of interviews are indicated.
On July 27, 1975:
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, because the Warning and the Miracle are within the same year, I feel it inside not to say anything.
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 information revealed to you?
A. During an apparition the Blessed Virgin told me all this.
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 of 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. In February, 1977:
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. Have you any words of advice for the people in order that they might prepare for this event?
A. To do much penance, make sacrifices, visit the Blessed Sacrament every day that we are able to, and to pray the holy rosary daily. On September 29, 1978:
Q. Since you are the one who knows the most about the Warning will you tell us if this event is to take place before the Miracle promised through Conchita Gonzalez?
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 and interior feeling of sorrow and pain for having off ended 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. On October 19, 1982:
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 hard to practice the 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. It would be because of the persecution and not because the 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. Approximately 67% of the earth’s land is now dominated by communism. Do you think that’s sufficient to fulfill Our Lady’s prophecy?
A. I really don’t know. It sounded to me like it would be more that.
Q. In other words you think it will be worse that it is now?
A. That’s what I thought from what she said but I really don’t know exactly. To me it looked more like it was every place out there, the places I saw in my mind. In a lot of countries in Europe you can still practice your religion.
Q. So, the situation in the world is not bad enough for the Warning to happen?
A. The Warning is not going to happen yet so it’s probably going to get worse.
Q. You said that it would be very difficult for priests to say Mass. Was this something that the Blessed Mother told you or was it something that you thought yourself because of the communist tribulation?
A. From what I remember, it was something she said.
Q. And the Virgin 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. You said that when the Warning comes, the planes would stop in the air and that all engines would stop. is this what the Blessed Mother told you?
A. She said that everything, everywhere, for a moment would stop and the people would just think and look inside themselves.
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)
