THE HEAVENLY APPARITIONS AND THE MESSAGES
IN THE PLAN OF GOD OVER THIS HUMANITY
Palmarians
are eminently Marian Apostles, devoted to the work of helping Maria in her
task of saving souls. The extraordinary graces of the Marian Places of
Apparitions are mystical phenomena most especially reserved for the 19th
and 20th centuries. We can
observe in these graces an exquisite sign of the Queen’s concern for the
salvation of her “errant children” who live in these times.
The
Spiritual Maternity of Mary embraces all souls, whom she wishes to save as
the fruit of her Co-reparation and Co-redemption with Jesus on Calvary.
The Apparitions are a penultimate advice of heaven, given the
gravity of humanity’s deplorable spiritual state before God, before
heaven’s last recourse to the Warning, the Miracle and the
Chastisement spoken of in Garabandal.
This
heavenly intervention, unfortunately, man will bring upon his own head,
given that the majority of men have consistently ignored Heaven’s order
to return to Prayer, Penance and the Christian Life as a necessary
condition to mitigate the Chastisements.
Palmar
de Troya, as a Place of Apparitions in its day, was not to be
distinguished from any other place until its sublime mission was revealed.
The mission of El Palmar de Troya was none other than to be the place of
refuge for THE CHURCH, THE PAPACY, and THE HIERARCHY, which were soon to
leave Rome by divine command upon the death of Pope Paul VI.
This
mission is what has made Palmar de Troya so important in the plan of
heaven. For Palmar de Troya
became no less than the
Church in the desert, fulfilling Apocalypse 12. v. 14.
The Woman -- the Church or Maria with the Church -- flew to the
desert in 1978 on the death of Paul VI.
The period between 1968 and 1978 is strictly the preparatory period
for this coming, which period we are now to review in detail.
The
seers who were elected as instruments to relay the Divine messages came
from various social backgrounds. The principals
were Maria Luisa Vila, Maria Marin, Jose Navarro, Antonio Romero, Arsenia
Llanos, Manuel Fernandez, Antonio Arenillos and Clemente Dominguez y
Gomez.
The
seers in the course of the period of the apparitions were participants in
numerous visible stigmatisations, ecstatic walks, and copious bleedings
usually associated with Holy Week. These are mystical participations in
the Passion. The reception of the Child Jesus in the arms of the seers for
adoration by the onlookers, combined with the odours of Mystical perfumes,
are the more unusually rare mystical phenomena.
There
were witnessed frequent visible mystical Communions, locutions, private
revelations and messages. The whole gambit that Mystical Theology
describes occurred at one time or another in the Sacred Place. I can
personally testify to the truth of these “Phenomena,” having myself
been a privileged witness on many occasions and been able to study at
first hand these mystical happenings.
The
persistence of these extraordinary deeds which persisted for many a year
besides fidelity to the Traditional Doctrine of the Church, the Sacred
Scriptures, and the Vicar of Christ were maintained, in spite of
persecutions, calumnies, insults, and sufferings which the seers and
Apostles of Palmar had to support. Here
was splendid witness: piety,
unmistakable signs of the direct intervention of heaven and authenticity
of the messages. Such an
extraordinary heavenly intervention could not be explained, if it were not
for “Grave Justifying Reasons.”
The
texts of the Messages treated of the Justice and Love of God. They
declared solemnly that corruption covered the face of the earth, that the
world was every day more and more rotten!
That the “Ira of Heaven” would soon fall over humanity with
terrible violence. They also
declared that Satan had infiltrated the Church. That Modernism and
Progressive errors were corrupting the Sacred Doctrine,
the Catholic Moral and Divine Cult in practise were in opposition
to the Magisterium of the Church. That Pope Paul VI found himself a Martyr
in the Vatican, surrounded and imprisoned by a circle of Masonic Cardinals
who impeded him from governing.
So
it was that El Palmar in union with other Marian sites made up an
impressive list of places and persons who were instrumental in delivering
warnings to Errant Humanity. The
cycle began in 1830:
1830
Paris, France Catharine Labouré.
1846
La Salette, France Melanie Calvat, and Maximin Giraud.
1858
Lourdes, France Bernadette Soubirous.
1878
Knock, Ireland Various.
1917
Fatima, Portugal Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco.
1932
Beauraing, Belgium Gilbert Voisin and others.
1933
Banneux, Belgium Mariette Becco.
1933
Exquioga, Spain Benita Aguirre and others.
1937
Heede, Germany Ana Schulte, Greta and Maria Gausefort.
1938
Madrid, Spain Maria
Nieves Saiz.
1941
Alto de Umbe, Spain Feliza Sistiaga.
1942
Madrid, Spain Amparito
Guasp Perez.
1947
Rome, Italy
Bruno Cornacchioala.
1949
Balestrino, Italy Catalina Richero.
1949
Necedah, U.S.A Maria Ann Van Hoof.
1961
Garabandal, Spain Dolores, Conchita, Jacinta and Mari Cruz.
1961
San Damiano, Italy Rosa Quatrini.
1966
Porto San Stefano, Italy Enzo
Alocci.
1968
New York, Bayside, U.S.A Veronica
Leuken.
1968
Palmar de Troya, Spain Clemente Dominguez.
With
these Places are to be included the private Revelations of saintly persons
like St. Pio of Pieltrecina, St. Isabel Canori Mora, St. Julie Jahenny,
etc. When combined, they add
up to impressive evidence of “Heaven’s concern with errant
humanity.” In the end, the triumph of Mary and the Universal Reign of
Jesus is promised.
