In the apparitions of Garabandal that occurred from June 18th, 1961 to June 18th, 1965 two messages were especially given out.
The first was given by Our Lady to the girls on July 4th, 1961; this message had already been written on a sign at St. Michael the Archangel’s feet in the month of June, during the apparitions of the angel to the girls. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel asked the girls not to make this message public until October 18th. They did as Our Lady requested. In the autumn of 1961, the visionaries made known to the world the 1st message which said:
“Much sacrifice needs to be done and much penance, we have to visit the Blessed Sacrament much , but before we have to be very good. If we do not do this, a punishment will come. The cup is being filled, and if we don’t change a punishment will come.”
The message speaks about sacrifice and penance and reminds us of the gospel teaching of the prediction of St. John the Baptist: “Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.” (Mt 3:1-3) The same Christ inaugurates his preaching saying: “ Repent, and believe in the Good News . . .” (Mc 1:15) It is the eternal message of the prophets and was insistently reminded by the Blessed Virgin Mary in La Sallete, Lourdes, Fatima, but unfortunately forgotten by the majority of people. That is why if we don’t change, a punishment will come, manifesting that the justice of God has consequences for the sins of men for wrongly using their liberty.
“The cup is filling.” This is Biblical apocalyptic language which reminds us of the 7 angels with 7 chalices of gold(15,7) full of God’s anger.
“We have to visit much the Blessed Sacrament.” This reminds us of the real presence of Christ with His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, in moments when even Catholics, and even priests, have lost faith in the Eucharist.
