Diffusion Mariana Argentina has decided to publish the messages dictated to the seer Clemente Domínguez Gómez in El Palmar de Troya, Utrera, Seville, Spain, in conformity with the text delivered by the same seer, and as requested by me of the draft of the prologue of presentation.

I have agreed with taste and with dread. On one hand, it fills me with enthusiasm the idea of collaborating in the diffusion of these messages that I consider to be real and, besides, most important for the Church and for the world; but, and on the other, it intimidates me the greatness of the matter.

And I agreed because the fact of knowing personally Clemente Domínguez from the year 1972 and the circumstance of having been in Palmar de Troya at the end of the year 1973 and at the beginning of 1974, attending and studying the apparitions and other extraordinary events there happening, forced me to give, certain, testimony of the truth seen and heard " in situ ".

I make constant that my personal account coincides with those of other members of a group of eighteen Argentinians that, under the spiritual direction of the Father Silvio Venturini, travelled to Seville at the end of 1973, precisely with this intention.

I assume exclusively the responsibility of this prologue; I will meet, as they request , the explanations that they consider necessary..

I abide certainly, by the decree of the Holy See of date 15-11-66, published in " Record Apostolicæ Sedis ", Vol. 58, N. 16, which repeals the former exigency of the "Imprimatur" for spreading apparitions and private revelations. And I surrender, as already, to the definitive judgment(reason) of the Church.

And now I direct with live and(vivacious) interest to the reader, believer, incredulously or atheist, just person or sinner, ecclesiastic or secular, traditionalist or progressive, powerfully or weakly, educated or uncultured, healthy or sick, to say to him or(her), affectionately, that a book in the hands such as this can change completely the tone and even the course and the destiny of ones life.

I will begin this introduction, by exposing, objectively, verified and incontrovertible facts, accurately of places, dates and persons; facts that nobody till now could have explained humanly and that, definitively, are going to face the reader with the supernatural reality that in our days is turned profusely to announce the gravest and very close events.

After exposing the facts about what happened in the precise places that we have past, and after making concrete the messages, there will be examined with critical spirit the objections that against them circulate in certain environments lacking the due information.

And we will finish this presentation thinking about all three grave and unavoidable questions that spontaneously arise, namely: a) The messages and the Revelation; b) The messages and the Ecclesiastic Authority; and c) The messages and the reader.

We begin, then, making clear where, when and how the deeds that occurred, in Palmar de Troya, as a happening from the day of the first appearance of the Holiest Virgin, on March 30, 1968, and the continued taking place in what remains of the year 1975, with increasing pace and intensity.

II. THE PLACE

The pre-arranged order takes us now to the south of Spain, to the undulating meadows of Andalusia, watered by the Guadalquivir.

From Seville to Cadiz there is stretched nowadays a modern highway of approximately 150 kilometres of length, which crosses the railroad near the town of Utrera. From Seville to Utrera it is possible to travel by railroad and also the highway, native N 333, perfectly paved, that allows to pass rapidly all 29 kilometres that occur between both cities.

From Utrera, the way inclines towards the South, towards Jerez and Cadiz; and when the traveller has crossed approximately 15 kilometres, towards the left side, a humble hamlet of white houses, leaning at the edge of the way, on the green Sevillian plain.

Its name: " The Palmar de Troya ". Ignored completely until a few years ago, is known already in the entire world because in her surroundings one finds the place of the apparitions, a rural estate, called " The Alcaparrosa " and placed also on the left edge of the way. Between the(village) and the entry in the estate the distance is a kilometre, approximately. Modern services of bus are taken with facility from Seville and from Utrera a more precarious local line communicates this city with The Palm grove.

At the entry of the estate there is an impressive and beautiful image of the Holy Virgin, under the dedication, extremely significant, of " The Divine Shepherdess ", who extends her straight hand towards the place of the apparitions, placed at approximately 200 meters from the entry and precisely on the summit that dominates the beautiful region, summit that the Lord name " The Mount of Christ the King ".

Far from Seville, far from Utrera, The Palm grove, is wrapped in loneliness, silently and in the rural beauty of the landscape, the place of the apparitions, with austere and humble dignity, receives the august visit of the Master, and his Holiest Mother and his saints, with the permanent incense of prayer that rises towards the height; and transforms it in an immense temple, limited only by the horizon, illuminated, during the day, by the Sun; and covered, by night, by the gigantic dome of the celestial vault, flushed(passionate) and adorned with the amazing precious stones of the stars.

There, in this wonderful place where the sky and the land touch each other, we have felt and feel the presence of God, of the Virgin and of the Saints, by prodigious, rationally unimpeachable and inexplicable facts, which we will never forget.

We examine these facts with all objectivity.

III. THE FACTS

The first one of them shook us deeply on December 31, 1973, in the moment in which our bus, which had departed, from Seville about 30 after 17 hours, was coming to The Palm Grove and the short crossing span that was lacking to come to the entry of the estate of the apparitions..

All eighteen Argentine pilgrims that were travelling, all members or adherents of Diffusion Mariana Argentina, had the fixed eyes in the magnificent late afternoon ... when suddenly we saw that the edge of the Sun began to shine and to turn towards the right, (in the sense of the hands of the clock) with great speed, offering a spectacle of great beauty.

It is a question of frequent fact in The Palm grove, also in San Damiano (Piacenza, Italy) and in other places of current apparitions. We ignore if it exists or not some natural explanation of the fact, certainly unusually and singularly frequency in the places of apparitions. But, though it was, we considered it a certain sign of welcome by the Holiest Virgin in the precise moment in which we were coming, this unforgettable evening. None of us has doubted after seeing and to feel the marvels of this sacred place.

Numerous groups of English pilgrims, French, Portuguese and Spanish shared with us the day of intense prayer and penance, to repair for the sins that are committed in the night end of the year. Uninterrupted Masses of the Tridentine rite were celebrated in Latin of San Pius V, with fervent homilies in the languages corresponding to the different groups.

During the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass we noticed that a small group began to make a detour to a knelt down woman, with the arms and the face stretched up.

There was entering in ecstasy the seer Rosario Arenillas, a humble woman who gains every day the sustenance for her family collaborating with her husband, Diego, and five grown daughters, in the compilation of the cotton.

Little later there entered also in ecstasy the seer Antonio Anillos Martin, a humble worker of the construction, married and with children, he, supports his family with the work of his hands, hardened in, his bricklayer’s tasks.

We could verify that, on having entered in ecstasy, both seers lost completely the sensibility, that is to say: they stopped perceiving the sensations that in normal condition every man receives by means of all five exterior senses. On the other hand they had the happiness of seeing, and hearing the Holiest Virgin and with Her they conversed, in the middle of a great emotion, which was embellishing very much their physiognomies.

The words of the Holiest Virgin were repeated by the seers and thus they could be recorded in recording tapes. In this wonderful form the Holiest Virgin, the Lord and the Saints establish communication with those present , by means of a seer in ecstasy.

The penitential day lasted the whole night and extended during the following day with solemn Eucharistic and Marian worships that culminated in the grand final procession. We took in homage a precious image of the Virgin of Carmel of The Palm Grove, up to the well of miraculous water that one finds near the entry, close to the wall of the estate of the appearances.

Coming to the well, the seer Clemente Domínguez, (who was coming directing the singing of the procession, spontaneously intoned by the pilgrims he rose to the curb-stone and there the same he, fell down on knees, in an ecstasy of a sculptural incomparable beauty. In a moment in view of, Domínguez, with the radiant face of happiness, always turned towards the apparition, began to realize on the narrow curb-stone of the well, a turn complete, against the laws of corporal balance and, in the middle of an indescribable fervour, we all understood that the Holiest Virgin was effecting a draft about the Well to bless the present ones there congregated. This way the seer confirmed later, on having come out of the ecstasy.

The following day, in the dusk, we returned to the place of the appearances, also called " The Lentisco ", because the day of the first appearance of the Virgin, it was, precisely here, on a shrub of this species and during the celebration of the Holy Tridentine Mass, He entered in ecstasy the seer Antonio Anillos Martin.

On Thursday, the third of January we returned to the Lentisco to do prayer and penance up to and after midnight, with other groups of pilgrims, and in this opportunity we could attend another of Clemente Domínguez’s admirable ecstasies, which genuineness consists in having seen it very closely, verifying the absolute lack of sensibility of the seer before the light of the electrical lamp, verifying the great expansion pupilar typical of the ecstatic condition(state), and admiring the transfiguration of his physiognomy, radiant in happiness and of beauty.

This night the Lord blessed specially the Argentina, placed his hand on the head of some of us, amongst them the Father Silvio Venturini; he, announced the proximity of the third world war and compared The Palm grove to a lightning Rod that appeases the ira of the Eternal Father. He announced also the very nearby but ephemeral victory of Marxism .

The Lord asked also the priests to defend the Mass of San Píus V the Tridentine Latin and predicted that who does so will be chased and persecuted and accused, since he, had prophesied when he said that in his name they would expel his disciples from the synagogues. He alluded to the enormous damage that in the world and in the Church has caused the suppression of the three Ave María’s and the invocation to San Miguel at the end of the Mass. And he, made know to us that in this moment Pope Paul VI was in Rome and strictly between ourselves, in The Lentisco, in bilocation, crying for the Church and for his own mistakes; and he asked for prayers in order that the Pope receives the courage of amending the mistakes of his pontificate. He, revealed also that these days, of special prayer and sacrifice, the whole place of the apparitions was full of angels that were singing with us.

On Friday, the 4th, at 30 after 19, we departed again from Seville towards The Palm Grove to do prayer and penance; and on Saturday, the 5th we repeated our visit and attended another Antonio Anillos Martin ecstasy, whose physiognomy - that ordinarily nothing has to show - embellished and transfigured glaringly before the radiant beauty of the celestial vision.

During the ecstasy there were placed, in the hands of the seer, rosaries, prints, crucifixes and other religious objects that the Holy Virgin kissed and blessed. Also they placed letters containing requests that, finished the ecstasy, were withdrawn by their owners. Naturally, the seer was thinking on the physical inability to read the letters, not at least of seeing the persons who placed them in his hands and who from them withdrew again, at the finish of the ecstasy.

Nevertheless, some days later, the seer made know one of these persons, that the Holy Virgin had read his letter and had given the response to the seer. Already just before departing, from Seville for Madrid and Santander, this person sent a note to the seer requesting him to communicate to him the response.

The seer wrote then a letter that came to the destinatory and it contained, in effect the response of the Holiest Virgin, which DESCRIBES PERFECTLY THE PROBLEM THAT MOTIVATED THE REQUEST, REPRODUCES EXACTLY SOME OF THE EXPRESSIONS OF THE SAME AND INDICATES WHICH IS THE CONCRETE SOLUTION, IN CONFORMITY WITH GOD’S WILL.

In summary: a wonderful response for its fullness and clarity; and wonderful also for the way in which it was given, since it is impossible that the author of the response is the seer

The innocent mistakes of spelling and of syntax and the laborious letter in which the divine response comes humbly wrapped, they do not do any more than illuminate and embellish the evident genuineness of the personal intervention of the Holy Virgin.

Naturally the reader would wish that now we were to transcribe here the complete text of the letter - the request and that of the celestial response. We are going to satisfy, partially, this just desire transcribing the postscript of the letter, where the petitioner directs filially to his(it Mother of Heaven, saying to her with simplicity: " I ask You that your response should mean a certain sign of the genuineness of the messages of this sacred place, if God wants it ".

The reader will judge if the response is or not prodigious; if it demonstrates or not that the ecstasy and the message of Anillos Martin were authentic; and if the response of the Holy Virgin can be had reasonably as a certain sign of the genuineness of the messages of The Palm Grove of Troy.

For the interested party it does not contain the slightest doubt. On nobody it imposes its certainty. Only it exposes its absolute conviction, and confesses and proclaims its honour of the truth and of the Holy Virgin, and the evident reasons that till now nobody has achieved to destroy..

And to finish the exhibition of this fact, we must add that the author of the letter - requests and the author of this prologue the same and only person, declares here, under public and solemn oath, that the exposed is entirely faithful to the truth.

He makes stimulated by a very deep feeling of loyalty and of gratitude and also for an express order that sees in the words that the Holy Virgin declared in the Lentisco on April 25, 1971, since the reader will verify, consulting the message of this date in the summary that we are presenting.

The above mentioned words are the following ones: THAT THIS ASSURANCE OF HEARD, CREDITS THE VOICE OF HEAVEN, THUS BOUND TO GIVE TESTIMONY OF THIS TRUTH, UNDER THE THREAT OF CONDEMNATION ".

This writes, naturally, does not want to be condemned. Because he publishes here his testimony without waiting for the definitive judgment of the Church, to which, nevertheless, he, surrenders to already.

Know well: this fact that does not have by any means any human explanation and the others that we have attended to or personally all eighteen Argentine pilgrims led by the Father Silvio Venturini, in spite of being so surprising, they are a very small thing, compared with the cataract of prodigies that are multiplying in The Palm Grove of Troya for seven years until today, in which we have just received news of the prodigies worked during the Holy Week of this year 1975.

This impressive set of wonderful facts has been magnificently documented in a brief signed by 342 eyewitnesses, who give perfect reason of its, sayings and credit decisively, accurately(finely) dates, places, persons and things, innumerable events without natural explanation, which pay the genuineness of the appearances and messages of The Palm Grove.

The document dates April 15, 1972 and there was presented to the Cardinal - Archbishop of Seville, as resort of nullity against the desautorización that the prelate declared On March 18, 1972.

Given, then,, its cardinal procedural importance and its enormous evidential force of the truth of the facts and, therefore, of the genuineness of the messages, it is transcribed later this prologue as integral documentary evidence of the same one. (I document Not. 1).

The document demonstrates that the prodigies of The Palm Grove not only took place with intervention of the renowned seers hitherto, but also of others, as Maria Luisa Vila, Maria Marín, Jose Navarro, Antonio Romero, Arsenia Llanos and Manuel Fernandez.

The principal one of them is, undoubtedly, Clemente Domínguez, and for this reason has been decided the publication of his messages, which forces us to formulate some brief reference on this instrument of the Our Lord and of the Virgin.

Clemente Domínguez is a Sevillian.A young man born in the year 1946 and he, will be 29 years of age, April 23, 1975. He, came to The Palm Grove, as indifferent as so many people, attracted by the prodigies that began on March 30, 1968, without possessing any outstanding spirituality; before, on the contrary, he himself says and repeats, with sincere conviction, He was and is a sinful poor person.

The simple and gradual way in which he, knew the marvels of The Palm Grove, first with respectful curiosity, and then with the evidence of the supernatural that enclosed it completely and decided to dedicate his life to this high mission, will be able to be estimated in the statement that we give to the reader under the title: " historical Information on facts that preceded the first visions and apostolic mission of the seer of the Palm Grove of Troya, Clemente Domínguez Gómez " and we insert later the prologue as integral part of the same one. (Document N º 2.)

This publication is effected in conformity with an express desire of the same seer, and for amiability and comity of the author, the young man Manuel Alonso Corral, attorney, resident in Seville and friend of Domínguez, with whom he has shared the exciting stages of this transformation of simple pilgrims, in Apostles of The Palm Grove, since also He Alonso has dedicated his life to this wonderful work. It is a question, then, of a valuable document written by a qualified witness and presented and confirmed by the same seer.

We have known and treated personally with Clemente Domínguez in Buenos Aires in 1972 and 1973, and in Seville and The Palm Grove, in 1974.. But in his cause also we have admired his decision and intrepidity when he stops to fulfil the instructions of heaven to confront and to support patiently the continuous and grave difficulties inherent in his most difficult and most inconvenient mission, as seer and as apostle of The Palm Grove, as messenger of God before the highest Hierarchies of the Catholic Church and as defender of the Tradition and of the Teaching.

Brilliant example of the above mentioned is the defence of the Pope Paul VI which he practised publicly in Buenos Aires, and more, precisely, in the Holy House of Exercises of Independence Street, before a qualified and numerous group of Catholics, on October 21, 1972.

In opposition to the assaults that two out-standing foreign priests directed against the Pope Paul VI, Clemente Domínguez put on foot and, before the general expectation, and the admiration of some, raised his voice to defend , qualifying as "extremism" the position of the attackers. Finished his defence he moved back(retired) from the meeting, exclaiming strongly: " THE POPE LIVES! ".

Also it must be emphasize the conferences that in Buenos Aires declared on the 5th and 6th of November, 1973 in defence of the Holy Writ, of the Tradition of the Church, the Teaching and of the Pope Paul VI. On these conferences we will return hereafter(later on).

Clemente Domínguez and other seers of The Palm Grove have suffered numerous stigmatization and copious bleedings, principally in The Holy Week; mystical suffering of the Passion of the Lord, even the crucifixion, in spectacles really over powering; receipt of the Baby Jesus in the arms, mystical visible communions, particular revelations and other many prodigious facts proved by the most numerous witnesses who come to The Palm Grove from all parts of Spain and of the world and documented by digital recordings, photographs, cinematographic captures, affidavits and publications of any nature. A not contemptible part of this most abundant documentary evidence there is in place and brought by our Argentine group in February, 1974 and is at the disposal of the reader.

Besides the prodigious facts, we estimate, as a test of the genuineness of the messages of The Palm Grove, the full orthodoxy of the doctrine that there is received and is spread, and of the grand, rigorous, solemn worship in conformity with the traditional rite that there is practised with a surprising intensity and with an extraordinary sacrifice.

Also they, the seers, estimate more the Mass than the vision and the ecstasy.

An episode seemingly without transcendence that demonstrated it to us with clarity. It was on Saturday, the 5th of January, 1974. We were present at Mass on the open terrain of the Mount of Christ the King, in full winter and at high hours of the night, when suddenly there fell down in ecstasy the seer Antonio Anillos Martin. Naturally, some of us noticed and came to surround him to deliver him religious objects that the Virgin is in the habit of kissing, and letters that, sometimes, she answers. Some pilgrims, in the zeal to attend to the ecstasy, involuntarily gave their backs to the altar and in this moment,, we heard the voice of the leaders, noticing, that it should be avoided to give the backs to the altar because " THE MASS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE VISION ".

Wonderful sense of balance and of hierarchy between the occasional charisma and the vital centre of the Christian permanent worship, the Mass, sacrifice of infinite value, is the maximum gift of charity, and without charity, the charisma is a metal that sounds and cymbal that clangs. (Paul, I Cor, 13, 1).

The persistence of extraordinary facts and of this most faithful obeisance to the Holy Writ, to the traditional doctrine, to the authority of the Church, to the Sovereign Pontiff and to the traditional worship for so long time, in spite of the pursuit, of calumnies, despises, injustices and sufferings that they support the seers and the apostles of The Palm Grove and, especially, the splendid fruit of virtue, of piety, of orthodoxy, of conversions and of extraordinary treatments(healings) that shines and grows increasingly in The Palm Grove, they are to our way of understanding, unequivocal signs of the direct intervention of heaven and, therefore, of the genuineness of the messages that we offer.

IV. THE MESSAGES

How is so extraordinary a divine intervention explained if there were no very grave reasons that justify it. In effect, they are, and the gravest. And they arise from the text of the messages that in the apparitions gave each other and whose content is terrible and beautiful, like terrible and beautiful are the justice and God’s love that inspires them.

The messages declare solemnly that the corruption has covered the aspect of the land; that the world is more "rotten" every day, and that the anger of heaven will promptly sweep down on the whole humanity with terrible violence.

Also they declare that Satan has infiltrated into the Church; that the modernist and progressive mistakes that are in her spread, corruption of the traditional doctrine, the morality and the worship resist the Teaching, for arbitrary and aberrant interpretation of the Council Vatican II; that exists bishops who have "prostituted" and it is a charity to discover the pharisee; that also there are shepherds Masons of the degree 33; that Satan has climbed the highest positions of the Church and one will manage to sit in Peter’s chair, and that the Pope Paul VI is today the martyr of the Vatican, because He is a prisoner of a Masonic - Marxist fence that does not leave him to govern.

They demonstrate besides the fact that, before such abominations, the cup of God’s anger not only is full, but already overflows and is spilt on humanity by means of the progressive aggravation of catastrophes, floods, earthquakes, famines, diseases, terrestrial, maritime and air accidents, social conflicts and political wars, hatreds and crimes, which will go on in increase as the men despise God’s law and the notices and messages that the Holy Virgin has given in La Salette, Lourdes, Fátima and Garabandal, and she continues giving in The Palm Grove of Troy, Mexico, San Damiano (Piacenza, Italy), and many other places where nowadays heaven repeats identical messages supported by equal prodigies.

They reveal, likewise, that God’s principal scourge is nowadays Freemasonry, which, by means of the Marxism, is incubating, inside the Church, the schism that will shake her violently, like a great tempest, when Pope Paul VI reaches the palm of the martyrdom and in the Vatican there is named the successor, who will be an antipope devoted to the preparation of the reign of the Antichrist.

They announce also that, when the schism explodes, at that time, will be produced the great miracle promised in Garabandal,; that if the world rejects this new sign of the power of God’s love, it will fall beneath the slavery of Marxism and God’s anger will be undone to its last consequences; that the Commander of the Tagus will defeat and prosecute the Marxist forces up to Moscow; that Paris will be burned by fire and Marseilles swallowed by the sea; that big metropolises sunk in the sin, will be destroyed, the sea will flood the land and the mountains will be ruined; fire from heaven will purify the land and the enemies of God will die all in a hecatomb that one has never seen one will never see.

And they prophesy that then, finally, will come, with the justice, the peace. The apostles of last times, pre-announced by Grignion de Montfort, will extend the Gospel everywhere; Russia will be converted; it will bloom the spring of the Church, the immaculate Heart of Mary will defeat the infernal serpent; and the world illuminated by the victory of Christ’s precursor , Mother of the Grace, will receive with joy the Lord in his second coming to the earth, to reign, in love amongst the children of the men. It is the Parousía!

But especially they indicate the means that every conscious man must use to face the apocalyptic catastrophe that already has started to darken the world and that will give place, not to the Final Judgment, but to the luminous and glorious coming of the Lord.

These means are summarized in two words: Prayer and Penance.

Prayer that sprouts from recognition of the reality: God’s reality and reality of man. Reality of God, Creator, Redeemer, Provident and Re-munerator. And the reality of man raised against the infinite power of God, the madness of the sin.

Prayer that asks for Mary’s mediation, the light for the intelligence and the repentance of heart. Prayer that leads to penance, which is a sincere repentance and that is to repair and make satisfaction for your own and foreign sins, by means of the acceptance of daily suffering and your own cross, supported and offered for love with the Divine Crucified and in union with him.

With this theological spirit of sincere realism and of human, philosophical profundity, they have to understand each other and be fulfilled the pious practices that the messages recommend and that in The Palm Grove of Troy are fulfilled with exemplary fervour and sacrifice.

The practices that the messages indicate, are: to leave sin, to dress and to live with Christian modesty, to attack the indecency in the feminine mode, to fulfil the duties of your own condition(state)in agreement with the procedure of Christian morality, to say often the Rosary traditiona1 and the Our Fathers Penitential , to defend the Mass Tridentine Latin, promulgated by San Pius V, and to receive with fervour, on knees, on the tongue, and not in the hand, giving the due thanksgiving; to make a visit of love to the Sacred Eucharist and to make solemn worship in the holy hours, major exhibitions, and night adorations. Eucharistic processions and devout visits to the Sacrarium left in our Churches; to adore the Holy Face of the Lord and his Sacred Heart and to honour Mary’s Immaculate Heart, to obey and defend the Holy Father, Pope Paul VI, and to request God that he free him from the hands of the enemies who surround him in the Vatican; To support and to spread his authentic teachings, obeying the bishops who are in communion with him, and with Holy Tradition and the Teaching of the Church; and not to obey the false prophets and bad shepherds who choose the imminent heresy of our time ,called progressivism.

Quite the richest doctrinal, historical, prophetic, mystical and charismatic content of the apparitions and messages of The Palm Grove of Troy and all the forceful spiritual life that there is taught and there is practised intensely, every night, from the 20.00 until the first hours of the following day, for almost seven years, corroborate the certainty of the divine origin of the messages, certainty that follow from the signs of genuineness examined in the previous chapter of the present prologue.

Because it is evident that so splendid fruits of prayer and of penance, of ascetics and holiness, can be products of messages invented by the malice of Satan, not either by the imagination of a dreamer, or of the skill of a fraud.

Well: if the content of the messages of The Palm Grove corroborates the genuineness of its divine origin, not less it reaffirms the wonderful coincidence of these with which they continue being dictated in other places of apparitions that we have visited in Spain, France and Italy, during the first months of the year 1974.

It is impossible to include in the narrow frame of this prologue the careful examination of the great quantity of appearances, messages and extraordinary facts that in this trip we have known or remembered in so diverse places, as Madrid (seers: Amparito Guasp Perez and Maria Nieves Suiz); Garabandal placed at 90 kilometres to the west of Santander (seers: Dolores, Concepcion, Jacinta and Maricruz); Monte Umbe, at 15 kilometres to the north of Bilbao (seer: Arrieta Felisa Sistiaga); Lourdes, in the French Pyrenees (seer: Bernardette Soubirous); La Salette, in the French Alps, near Grenoble (seers: Maximino and Melania); Milan, route Lunigiana (seer: Carmela Carabelli); San Damiano, near Piacenza, San Giorgio’s commune (seer: Rosa Quatrini); San Vittorino, at approximately 30 kilometres from Rome, I travelled to Tivoli (stigmatized Frater Gino); Rome (seer: Bruno Cornacchiola); I went to San Stefano, on the mount Silversmith (seer Enzo Alocci); Balestrino, near Loano, on the coast (seer: Catalina Richero); and San Vicente Dels Horts, to the Southwest of Barcelona, mount of the Virgin of the Remedies (seer: Jose Casasampere).

We do not prune to detail here all these messages, but what we prune and we must do is to affirm, with all conviction, that the messages given in the mentioned places, personally visited by us, coincide, admirably, with those received by Clemente Domínguez and other seers of The Palm Grove of Troy.

And if to this surprising coincidence, of continental extent, we add the examination of the messages of Mexico (seer: Reverend Mother Marta Concepción Zúñiga Lopez), and those of New York, Bayside (seer: Verónica Lueken), we verify, amazedly, that these also coincide with those of The Palm Grove and with the others of Europe.

Now well: how this magnificent intercontinental coincidences would be explained if the appearances were not authentic and the messages were not real?

V. THE OBJECTIONS

Strictly between ourselves there are little known the extraordinary messages that we have just outlined. But on the other hand they have impressed and circulated enough objections that the Spanish priest formulates, Father Luis Jesus Luna, and others originated in our environment. In the impossibility to treat all, five will be selected of the most important, that, for loyalty stops with our readers, we must examine thoroughly.

The first objection

The message questioned here of December 12 1969, dictated by Saint Dominic of Guzman, when he says this way:

" 1) That it is spread and that it is proclaimed the prayer of the Our Fathers holy rosary that the Virgin has dictated in this sacred place (this rosary consists of fifty Our Fathers, Ave María, Glories and Avemaría Purísima); 2) That it is spread to the whole world the adoration of the Holy Face of Our Lord; do the Way of the Cross contemplating the Christ’s Divine Face commemorating the Passion, Death and Resurrection; joined to the pains of the Blessed always and Immaculate Virgin Mary, asking forgiveness for all sins, that offend , insults, sacrileges proffered to the Divine Face. That all receive communion every first Thursday of every month, during every year, up to the near coming of the Lord, doing twenty minutes of reparation, giving thanks to God, asking for the conversion of Russia. All those who adore the Holy Face and do this Communion of reparation, will receive the grace of dying in the holiness.

The salvation of the world is in doing what has been dictated in this message.

They affirm that this message suffers from excessive smallness of vision and exaltation of incidental things.

The smallness of vision - we Ánswer - and the exaltation of incidental things will be able to arise, probably, from the pruning and mutilation of the text committed to adultery by the own objectors, who have published and make circulate as really and authentic this text before emptying of its real and upright content. We might mention of the title of the book and number of page that documents the outrage committed by the adversaries of Clemente Domínguez’s messages. We do not do it to avoid unnecessary defamations.

But such a smallness of vision does not arise, by no means, from the real, authentic and complete message dictated by heaven that, with divine clarity, depth and beauty, are planned by a wide program of spiritual life, of apostolate and of heroic reparation.

The critique of the objectors of Clemente Domínguez attack the Our Father Rosary, the scapular, the sacred images on it contained and the pious practices that are in the habit of being considered already out of mode, viciousness without importance and without efficiency, of one already antiquated, permitted and superstitious popular devotion.

But this swollen sufficiency ridicules specially the scapular that in The Palm Grove is worn externally, on order of the Lord, dictated by means of Clemente Domínguez. Whom obey this order is designated by them contemptuously like " those of the scapular ", " the acolytes of the scapular ", and also: " the gang ", and " the group of Clemente ".

We are not going to make the defence of the scapular because it is made already by Our Lord, on February 12, 1971. This day, in effect, He appeared bleeding from all his wounds and he said what continues:

" Mine(my) children: today I bleed for all my sores, because I see, in these groups that come to pray here, persons who despise my words, who consider my mandates to be ridiculous. Examine if: it is ridiculous that you have in your handbags and in yours houses the portrait of yours parents? You have them on the walls and the opinion of others is not important to you of anybody.

" I ask you: perhaps I am not your Father I? Why you do not give testimony of Me? Perhaps it is ridiculous that you wear the scapular externally giving testimony of yours faith? Perhaps Satan can insist so often on that you should not wear this Holy Scapular when precisely this Scapular is to expel to Satan?... Mine(my) Children: they are innumerable those who are in the heaven because of the Holy Crusades. All of them were carrying flags with my sign and that of the Holy Virgin, and were facing the enemies without repairing to that they were going to lose their corporal lives.

" The moment has come to have valour and being scoffed at, if it is necessary, in my defence. Look at My Face, My Sacred Heart and that of My Holy Mother. In these three reparations is the salvation of the world .

" All those who come here have proofs, more than sufficient, of the genuineness of these messages in which it is said that is necessary to come as a day pupil.
