Numerical References • Always around number 8, which means resurrection,

because Jesus resurrected on the first day of the week. – 8 days before Conchita will notify the date of the Miracle – It will happen between 8 and 16 (= 2 * 8) from March, April or

May • Resurrection of Jesus was first 8 • Twice 8 refers to the transformation that Jesus Christ will make in the

body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, Phil. 3, 21

– It will happen to 20:30 (8:30 p.m) local time – It remains 8 pines alive

– Firsts of a later harvest harping on their harps. And they sung as it were a new canticle Rev. 14, 2-3

Seer Name References • The four girls are named Mary with companion name Dolores,

Cruz, Concepcion and Jacinta • They can build the significant phrase Mary from the pain of the

Cross conceived (gave birth) lily. – Allusion to the Sign of Woman: Mary gives birth (light up) to the male

child (New Mankind) – Direct reference to the 5th Marian Dogma: Co-redemptrix, Mediatrix

and Advocate

• Conchita (Conception) is responsible to say 8 days before (referring to the Resurrection) the date of the Miracle (a new birth)

• Lily: triple meaning in Scripture – Nuptial love between God and the soul, in its fullness (Song of Songs) – Kingship: as lys flower, with three petals in which the protruding

central petal means faith. – Purity: as white lily, that Church attributes to St. Joseph and to virgins

• Lily and light, according to the analysis of personal names are the center of God's plan of Marian apparitions in the end times.

Time References

• On Thursday, feast of an Eucharist martyr – Between 8 and 16 from March, April or May – Thursday that also could be Holy Thursday, to increase Eucharistic significance

of its possible content

• Will occur at 20:30: with little or no daylight. – It should be a phenomenon with its own bright light. Which fits with its

spiritual content • when the sun has just set and the new day begins for Hebrews, • when Jesus instituted Eucharist at the Last Supper, • when God made a covenant with Abraham for the possession of land, • when Jacob dreamed the ladder to heaven and • when people brought the sick to be healed by Jesus at Capernaum.

• It will coincide with a joyful event for the Church • Astronomical possible matches, following the pattern of the Magi for the

first Coming – 13-April-2017 has a very high probability of being the date of the Miracle – I refer you to the video 3 of Sacred Astronomy series in this Youtube channel

Perennial Signal References

• It will be a perennial signal. It could be seen and filmed but not to touch – As in Guadalupe (Mexico)

– Very likely a pillar of fire half a meter in diameter: something similar to what the Hebrews in Exodus show them the way of night with a pillar of fire, and on the cloud, which was the living presence God (Shekinah) between them. Deu. 13, 21

– Before our tabernacles also a lamp burns constantly that is a sign of the Real Presence of Jesus in the sacramental species

Personal References (Fr. Andreu S.J.)

• He saw the Miracle on 08/08/1962 • In the Pines • He died and the Virgin told Conchita some time later:

You will find his body incorrupt the next day of the Miracle. – Very likely a Good Friday. – While it is not the same, that statement reminds another

Good Friday when the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose, and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, that is, on Easter Sunday , came into the holy city and appeared to many Mat 27, 52-53

– His mortal remains are today reduced (see next picture)

Fr. Andreu S.J.

Personal References (J. Lomangino) • As we have seen the Miracle will show light (glory), life (immortal)

and lily (purity and spousal kingship of God with the soul) • The day of the Miracle he will receive new eyes. It is now when it

could be understood: – It doesn’t not mean to live up to the Miracle. But his death is related

to the mystery of Garabandal, because it happened on June 18th – It mean that like Fr. Andreu, in the Miracle, he will receive a complete

body regeneration – The dead who are in Christ shall rise first 1 Th 4 16

• The healing of his blindness is also a sign that our eyes veils will fall in the Miracle – Veils from seeing the importance of the Eucharist, whose signal was

the invisible Communion that the Angel gave to the girls, except in the day of Milagruco (small miracle)

– Veils from our materialistic life style very close to the ground. – Veils from Efraim tribe because Joey is an American and lived in New

York. • Place of the apocalyptic Babylon City, the Babylon-nation and Babylon-people

(see video 6 of Sacred Astronomy Series and ebook “Garabandal, 50 years later”)

On possible doubts about the death of J. Lomangino

• The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat? Joh. 6:52

– Jesus did not give further details but insisted on having faith in his word

– Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you: except you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. John 6:53

• The hardest thing to believe has always been the resurrection of Jesus and our subsequent resurrection or transformation, following the model of his risen Body – The apostles did not believe any of the three pre-resurrection Jesus made them yet.

– S. Paul in Athens: "And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men that all should every where do penance. Because he hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in equity, by the man whom he hath appointed: giving faith to all, by raising him up from the dead.

– And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked. But others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter. Act 17: 30-32

• God has given sufficient evidence and references for us to believe that the Miracle will have to do with our new immortal life

You want to be present at the Miracle?

• Access to Garabandal in those days will be difficult. – To reach the Miracle will be traveling from southern Spain

or Portugal. No you can go through the Pyrenees

– The Spanish army will help to climb the sick to the village.

• Something will happen shortly before the miracle that many no longer believe in the apparitions of Garabandal and this will erode much the final number of attendees. Doubts will not occur by the delay. – Perhaps that fact is the death of Joey Lomangino
