This website describes the events that took place in San Sebastián de Garabandal in Cantabria, Spain, starting in 1961. We do not intend to supplant the definitive judgment regarding the events that took place in Garabandal. Such judgment belongs to the authority of the Catholic Church alone, to which we submit ourselves.

December 2020

Dear friends,

we have begun the season of Advent, a time of expectation and hope. Our gaze turns towards the empty manger that awaits the birth of Our Savior. Our heart is also like a manger that we have to prepare for the coming of the Lord. His place is the center of our heart. This Advent is an opportunity to make the Lord the center of our life again.
The messages of Garabandal speak about the importance of the Eucharist and of being with Him. The words, “Less and less importance is being given to the Eucharist," seem very adequate for our times. Yes, the Eucharist being is given less and less importance. How is it possible that such a great gift be undervalued as we see happening today? Mother Teresa of Calcutta once said that to change the world you have to start by changing yourself. Applying this to the present situation, we could say that to give more importance to the Eucharist we have to start with ourselves. What can I do so that It may have a central part in my life?
May this Advent be a time to grow in our devotion to the Eucharist and truly prepare ourselves for His coming.

God bless,

Garabandal.it Team

Don't Fall Asleep!

It often seems that our faith, hope, and charity are dormant. We've almost forgotten that the Lord asked us to keep watch, because we neither know the day nor the hour.
