Appendix IV 

A Correction About the Prophecies of Garabandal 

The Virgin Mary has appeared, in a true private revelation, to four children 

of Garabandal. They were told secrets about the future, which are usually 

summarized as: The Warning, The Miracle, and The Punishment. I am 

writing this page to correct some false things that have been said about these 

secrets. 

It is not true that the Miracle will happen within 12 months of the Warning. 

These two events will occur more than 12 months apart. 

The Virgin Mary said that the Miracle will occur on the feast day of a martyr 

of the Eucharist, on a Thursday, coinciding with an event in the Church. It 

is possible to figure out the date of the Miracle from this information. 

Conchita said:   It will happen between the months of February and July 

and it will be between the 7th and the 17th, but I will not tell you which 

year.  This statement by Conchita about the Miracle is entirely correct. 

Some have claimed that they know the month of the Miracle, but not the 

day. They are mistaken. Their reasons for narrowing the date to one month 

is based on misunderstandings and false assumptions. 

The idea that the Chastisement (or punishment) can be completely averted 

by conversion and prayer is incorrect. The idea that the Chastisement can be 

mitigated by prayer is more or less correct, but only from a human point of 

view. From our point of view within Time, it seems that future events are 

altered by God in answer to our prayers. This is true, from our point of view 

within Time. But God is present throughout all Time and beyond Time. To 

God, past, present, and future are the same. From God s point of view, the 

future does not change in answer to our prayers. Rather, God has already 

taken all prayers throughout Time into account in His plan for future events. 

Our prayers are effective even beyond the limits of Time because God is 

beyond all limits.
