The last appearance
(13 November 1965)

That day, the visionary of the article starts on the hill, preparing to wait. Has no doubts and is illuminated by devout fervor in my heart. The Holy Virgin appeared with the blond baby Jesus, wrapped in a robe, his arms. Maria Conchita asked if the faithful will always be the girl replied that it would be easier for her if she could see her more often, then the Blessed Virgin answered: You'll be any help, my children Loli, Jacinta and Maria Cruz... This is the last time you see me, but if you do not see me, I will always be with you and all my children... Conchita because you do not often visit my Son in the tabernacle? Why did you let yourself be overwhelmed by laziness? He is waiting for you day and night. "Conchita asked the Madonna to take it with you, but the Mother of God says she must remain on Earth to do good works and serve others, then will call you. The visionary looks down these words as a sign of obedience to the will of Mary, when they see that raises the apparition vanished. Almost frozen with cold, the girl hurries to go home.

The Church's position
Distrust is a state of uncertainty years of silence (1963-1965) had the upper hand. The seers were then gripped by doubt. Maria Cruz in 1965 after an interrogation that he signed a simulated ecstasy, as well as Dolores Conchita and the same was tormented by doubts about the presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament and their vocation. When he spoke in confession Conchita traced the source of his confusion to the master of evil that exhorted to retract the apparitions.

To the visionaries was only the path of suffering and the cross, but with the passage of time, the messages of Garabandal began to spread.
The Professor of Santander had already introduced in August 1961 a commission of inquiry, which, however, it was shown from the beginning oriented towards skepticism. In a short time the committee had reached the final decision: the apparitions were not supernatural.
The testimonies of hundreds of doctors and religious, who had observed the apparitions and have judged in many ways as "inexplicable", were not taken into any consideration.
In October 1968, the attention to the miraculous events of Garabandal was witnessed by the masses of pilgrims.
In April 1970 the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith declared the apparitions of false and not worthy of credibility by the faithful.
Since 1971 began to highlight contrasting attitudes of the Spanish bishops, those openly opposed to the phenomena of Garabandal to the more tolerant (as Juan Antonio of the Val Gallo, who did re-open the investigation).
A senior prelate of the Church declared that the apparitions of Our Lady at Garabandal were a continuation and an update of those at Fatima, but with a more apocalyptic tone, as the confusion that prevails today in the world and within the Church was not so obvious then.
In total there are two thousand apparitions at Garabandal celestial and stellar phenomena, validated by numerous miraculous healings, through the intercession of the Madonna and accepted as such by science. Such healings confirm without any doubt the real presence of Mary. In this place.

Our Lady at Garabandal announced three events of universal significance: the divine warning, the wonderful miracle of divine justice and retribution. He did not speak of the end of the world, but the end of time.
