Warning

    The World will be bad     It will be seen and felt
    It comes directly from God     It will gives a grace or a punishment
    It is a purification for the Miracle     The end of time is close

    Conchita Gonzalez
• “The only thing that I remember well is that it was the Virgin who told me of it [Warning].” [**]
• “the Virgin told me that before the Miracle God will be sending us a Warning so as to purify us or prepare us to see the Miracle and in this way we may draw enough grace to change our lives toward God.”[**]

Question: When did you learn about the Warning and from whom?
Answer: The only thing that I remember well is that it was the Virgin who told me of it.

What I remember now is that the Virgin told me that before the Miracle God will be sending us a Warning so as to purify us or prepare us to see the Miracle and in this way we may draw enough grace to change our lives toward God. She told me what the Warning will consist of but not the date. I am not able to say what it consists of but I am able to say what it will be like, more or less.

Question: Did you 'see' or 'hear' about the Warning?
Answer: The Virgin told me of its coming.

Question: Many years ago you told us the event of the Warning begins with the letter "A." Since Our Lady never told you not to reveal it, can you now mention it?
Answer: She did not forbid it, but I don't know why I haven't said it and I don't feel as though I should say it now.

    Jacinta Gonzalez
Question to Jacinta: “Did Our Lady ever speak to you about the Warning?” Answer: “Yes, She spoke to me about it but She never told me the year.”[**]

Question: Did Our Lady ever speak to you about the Warning?
Answer: Yes, She spoke to me about it but She never told me the year.

Interview with Jacinta
August 17, 1975

    Mari Loli Mazon
Question to Mari Loli: “… if it [Warning] will occur in the next few years …?” Answer: “No. I can't say anything.”[**]
Question to Mari Loli: “When was this information revealed to you?” Answer: “During an apparition — I don' t remember just when — the Blessed Virgin told me.[**]

Question: You have said that you know the year of the Warning. Can you tell us if it will occur in the next few years or is still distant in the future?
Answer: No. I can't say anything.

Question: Did the Blessed Mother tell you not to speak about the Warning?
Answer: No, she didn't, but, because the Warning and the Miracle are within the same year, I feel it inside not to say anything.

Question: How do you know the Warning and the Miracle are within the same year?
Answer: During an apparition — I don' t remember just when — the Blessed Virgin told me.

Question: When was this information revealed to you?
Answer: During an apparition the Blessed Virgin told me all this.

Question: Was all the information given you during one apparition, or did Our Lady tell you this over several apparitions?
Answer: She told me all of this during one apparition. I don't remember now if she spoke about the Warning during any other apparition.

  ↑   The World will be bad when the Warning comes

    Conchita Gonzalez
• “…it is impossible that the world could be so hardened as not to change.”[**]

Question: Will the Warning be recognized by the world as a direct sign from God?
Answer: Certainly — claro, and for this reason I believe it is impossible that the world could be so hardened as not to change.

Interview with Conchita
September 14, 1965

    Jacinta Gonzalez
• “…[the] difficult events will take place before the Warning because the Warning itself will take place when the situation will be at its worst.”[**]
• “…the Warning would come when conditions were at their worst. It wouldn't be just the persecution [of the faithful] either because many people will no longer be practising their religion.”[**]
Question to Jacinta: “Can you tell us anything about what the world will be like when the Warning comes?” Answer: Bad..”[**]

Question: Do you recall anything about a great tribulation, communism…?
Answer: Yes, it was an invasion, well, something that was a great evil in which communism played a great part, but I no longer remember which countries or what region was stricken. The Blessed Virgin insisted in telling us to pray (that it be averted). These difficult events will take place before the Warning because the Warning itself will take place when the situation will be at its worst.

Interview with Jacinta
August, 1979

Question: You have also said that when things were at their very worst then the Warning will happen. How do you know this? Did the Virgin tell you or did you see it in a vision?
Answer: The Virgin said that the Warning would come when conditions were at their worst. It wouldn't be just the persecution [of the faithful] either because many people will no longer be practising their religion.

Question: Can you tell us anything about what the world will be like when the Warning comes?
Answer: Bad.

Interview with Jacinta
April 16, 1983

    Mari Loli Mazon
• “It would look like the communists would have taken over the whole world and it would be very hard to practise the religion, for priests to say Mass or for people to open the doors of the churches.”[**]
Question to Mari Loli: “Will people be fighting with one another when the Warning comes?” Answer: no answer.[**]

Question: Do you remember what the Blessed Mother said about the communist tribulation that is to precede the Warning?
Answer: It would look like the communists would have taken over the whole world and it would be very hard to practise the religion, for priests to say Mass or for people to open the doors of the churches.

Question: Is that what you meant when you said that it would seem as though the Church had disappeared?
Answer: Yes.

Question: It would be because of the persecution and not because the people would stop practising their religion?
Answer: Yes, but I guess a lot of people will stop. Whoever practises it will have to go into hiding.

Question: Will this only be in Europe or do you think it will be here in the United States as well?
Answer: I don't know because for me at that time, Europe was the whole world. I just assumed it was that way. The Blessed Mother didn't specify in what place. To me it looked like it was everywhere.

Question: Approximately 67% of the earth's land is now dominated by communism. Do you think that's sufficient to fulfil Our Lady s prophecy?
Answer: I really don't know. It sounded to me like it would be more than that.

Question: In other words you think it will be worse than it is now?
Answer: That's what I thought from what she said but I really don't know exactly. To me it looked like it was every place out there, the places I saw in my mind. In a lot of countries in Europe you can still practise your religion.

Question: So, the situation in the world is not bad enough for the Warning to happen?
Answer: The Warning is not going to happen yet so it's probably going to get worse.

Question: You said that it would be very difficult for priests to say Mass. Was this something that the Blessed Mother told you or was it something that you thought yourself because of the communist tribulation?
Answer: From what I remember, it was something She said.

Question: And the Virgin said that it would seem as though the Church had disappeared?
Answer: Yes.

Question: Did the Blessed Mother ever say anything about the Holy Father having to leave Rome at the time of the Warning?
Answer: No, but what it looked like to me — maybe at this time I was confusing in my mind what I was seeing and what the Blessed Mother was saying to me because it's been so many years — but what it looked like to me was that the Pope couldn't be in Rome either, you know what I mean, out in the open. He was being persecuted, too, and had to hide just like everybody else.

Question: Will people be fighting with one another when the Warning comes?
Answer: (no answer)

  ↑   The Warning will be seen and felt by everyone

    Conchita Gonzalez
• “The Warning … will be visible throughout the entire world…[**]
• “It will be seen and felt.”[**]
Question to Conchita Gonzalez: “Will something happen to me because of my sins? I mean will physical harm come upon me as a result of them” Answer: “No, unless it's something that results from the shock, for example, a heart attack.”[**]
• “It … will be seen and felt in all the world and everywhere; I have always given as an example that of two stars that collide. … It will be as though we were in agony but we will not die by its effects but perhaps we will die of fright or shock to see ourselves. … even if it were a moment it will be very impressive and terrible.”[**]
• “To me, it's like two stars… that crash and make a lot of noise and a lot of light but they don't fall…”[**]

Question: Will the Warning be a visible thing or an interior thing or both?
Answer: The Warning is a thing that comes directly from God and will be visible throughout the entire world, in whatever place anyone might be.

Interview with Conchita
September 14, 1965

Question: We have heard that some say the Warning may be a natural phenomenon but will be used by God to speak to mankind. Is this true?
Answer: The Warning is something supernatural and will not be explained by science. It will be seen and felt.

Interview with Conchita
October, 1968

Question: Will all feel it at the same time?
Answer: Yes, at the same time.

Question: Will something happen to me because of my sins? I mean will physical harm come upon me as a result of them?
Answer: No, unless it's something that results from the shock, for example, a heart attack.

Question: Would you repeat for us what you know about the Warning?
Answer: … I am not able to say what it consists of but I am able to say what it will be like, more or less. It is a phenomenon which will be seen and felt in all the world and everywhere; I have always given as an example that of two stars that collide. This phenomenon will not cause physical damage, but it will horrify us because at that very moment we will see our souls and the harm we have done. It will be as though we were in agony but we will not die by its effects but perhaps we will die of fright or shock to see ourselves. …

Question: If the Warning only lasts a short time, will the world remember it as coming from God or will it only appear to have been a dream or an illusion?
Answer: I have never said that the Warning will be a short moment. What I have said is that even if it were a moment it will be very impressive and terrible. … I, who know what it is, am very much afraid of that day.

Interview with Conchita
February, 1977

Question: It (the Warning) is not going to hurt you?
Answer: No. To me, it's like two stars… that crash and make a lot of noise and a lot of light but they don't fall… It's something that's not going to hurt us but we're going to see it. In that moment, we're going to see our conscience. You're going to see everything wrong that you're doing.

    Jacinta Gonzalez
• “The Warning is something that is first seen in the air everywhere in the world.”[**]

Question: Can you tell us what the Warning will be like?
Answer: The Warning is something that is first seen in the air everywhere in the world and immediately is transmitted into the interior of our souls. It will last for a very little time, but it will seem a very long time because of its effect within us. …

Question: Will the Warning be felt by all people regardless of their beliefs?
Answer: The Warning is for everybody because God wants our salvation. …

Interview with Jacinta
February, 1977

Question: When the Warning comes it will be seen and felt by everyone on earth. Does this include little children who have not yet reached the age of reason?
Answer: Yes. That's why we felt sorry for them because it was such a terrifying experience.

Interview with Jacinta
April 16, 1983

    Mari Loli Mazon
• “ Everyone will experience it wherever they may be…”[**]

Question: Reportedly, you have said that when the Warning occurs everything will stand still, even planes in the sky. Is this true?
Answer: Yes, but just for a few moments.

Question: Do you know how long the Warning will last?
Answer: Just a few minutes.

Question: Are you afraid of the Warning?
Answer: Yes. Like everyone else. I have faults, and the Warning will show me my faults and this makes me afraid.

Question: Can you tell us anything else about the Warning?
Answer: All I can say is that it is very close and that it is very important that we prepare ourselves because it will be a terrible thing. It will make us feel all the wrong we have done.

Interview with Mari Loli
July 27, 1975

Question: Since you are the one who knows the most about the Warning, what can you tell us of this event?
Answer:Everyone will experience it wherever they may be, regardless of their condition or their knowledge of God… It will be an interior personal experience. It will look as if the world has come to a standstill, …no one will be aware of that as they will be totally absorbed in their own experience.

Question: About the nature of the Warning, how do you sense it?
Answer: It is going to be something like an interior feeling of sorrow and pain for having offended God. God will help us to see clearly the harm we are causing Him and all the evil things we do. He will help us to sense this interior pain because often when we do something wrong we just ask the Lord's forgiveness with our lips, but now (through the Warning) He will help us to sense physically that deep sorrow.

Question: You said that when the Warning comes, the planes would stop in the air and that all engines would stop. Is this what the Blessed Mother told you?
Answer: She said that everything, everywhere, for a moment would stop and the people would just think and look inside themselves.

Question: Will there be any noise with the Warning like a wind blowing?
Answer: The way I saw it at the time, it was more like a big silence, like a sense of emptiness. Everything was very silent. That's the way I saw it.

September 14, 1965

Question: What about the many people who do not know Christ; how will they understand the Warning?
Answer: For those who do not know Christ (non-Christian) they will believe it is a Warning from God.

Interview with Conchita
October, 1968

Question: What will occur on the day of the Warning?
Answer: The most important thing about that day is that everyone in the whole world will see a sign, a grace, or a punishment within themselves — in other words a Warning. They will find themselves all alone in the world no matter where they are at the time, alone with their conscience right before God. They will then see all their sins and what their sins have caused.

Question: It (the Warning) is not going to hurt you?
Answer: … It's something that's not going to hurt us but we're going to see it. In that moment, we're going to see our conscience. You're going to see everything wrong that you're doing.

Question: You 're going to see everything wrong that you are doing?
Answer: Yes. And you're going to see the good that you're not doing.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Пс 6, 9. Лк 13, 27.
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
Mat 25:41-45

Question: How will we feel it?
Answer: We will all feel it differently because it will depend on our conscience. The Warning will be very personal; therefore, we will all react differently to it. The most important thing will be to recognize our own sins and the bad consequences of them. You will have a different view of the Warning than me because your sins are different from mine.

    Mari Cruz Gonzalez
• “The Warning … I see it as a situation where a father (parent) scolds a son (in a gentle manner), but not a threat.”[**]
• “…The Virgin never was threatening, it was a warning — like a mother who advises a son, be he takes a bad road.”[**]

Question: What were your feelings and thoughts regarding the Warning (El Aviso), the Miracle (el Milagro) and the Chastisement (el Castigo)?
Answer: The Warning (Aviso) has been misconstrued by some who see it as a threatening situation. I [Mari Cruz] have a different idea about it. For me, I see it as a situation where a father (parent) scolds a son (in a gentle manner), but not a threat.

The Miracle (Milagro) — Mari Cruz has no first hand information on this.
The Chastisement (Castigo) — This is a conditional thing and can be avoided (mitigated) if they would return to God.

…[T]he Virgin never was threatening, it was a warning — like a mother who advises a son, be he takes a bad road

  ↑   The Warning is a purification for the Miracle

    Conchita Gonzalez
• “The Warning is like a purification for the Miracle.”[**]
• “The Warning will be a correction of the conscience of the world.”[**]

Question: Is it true that the Warning will cause many people to remember the dead?
Answer: The Warning is like a purification for the Miracle. And it is a sort of a catastrophe. It will make us think of the dead, that is, we would prefer to be dead than to experience the Warning.

Interview with Conchita
September 14, 1965

Question: Conchita, can you explain the statement that during the Warning we will know ourselves and the sins we have committed?
Answer: The Warning will be a correction of the conscience of the world.

Interview with Conchita
October, 1968

Question: So then it will bring no physical harm but will consist of facing God alone with my sins. How about the good things; will I see them also?
Answer: No. This will be only a Warning to see what you have done with your sins. It will be like a purification before the Miracle to see if with the Warning and Miracle we (meaning the whole world) will be converted.

Question: Would you repeat for us what you know about the Warning?
Answer: What I remember now is that the Virgin told me that before the Miracle God will be sending us a Warning so as to purify us or prepare us to see the Miracle and in this way we may draw enough grace to change our lives toward God. She told me what the Warning will consist of but not the date. I am not able to say what it consists of but I am able to say what it will be like, more or less. It is a phenomenon which will be seen and felt in all the world and everywhere; I have always given as an example that of two stars that collide. This phenomenon will not cause physical damage, but it will horrify us because at that very moment we will see our souls and the harm we have done. It will be as though we were in agony but we will not die by its effects but perhaps we will die of fright or shock to see ourselves. May the Virgin forgive me if I do not explain it the way it is, but I am trying to tell you … after knowing what the Warning will be like that day.

  ↑   The Warning marks that the end of time is close

    Conchita Gonzalez
• “…the Warning and Miracle will be the last warnings… that God will give us. This is why I believe that after them we will be near the end of time.”[**]
• “It will draw the good closer to God and it will warn the wicked that the end of time is coming and that these are the last warnings.”[**]
• “…we must think very often that we are here to go to heaven and to be saints.”[**]

Question: You once said to Fr. Marcelino Andreu, "When you see the Warning you will know we have opened up the end of time." Can you explain what you meant by this?
Answer: The Virgin told us that the Warning and Miracle will be the last warnings or public spectaculars that God will give us. This is why I believe that after them we will be near the end of time.

Question: Do you have any words of advice for the people in order that they might prepare for this event?
Answer: We must always be prepared for our souls in peace and not tie ourselves down so much to this world. Instead, we must think very often that we are here to go to heaven and to be saints.

Interview with Conchita
February, 1977

In a letter dated June 2, 1965, Conchita writes: "The Blessed Virgin told me on the first of January that a Warning would be given before the Miracle so that the world might amend itself. This Warning, like the Chastisement, is a very fearful thing for the good as well as for the wicked. It will draw the good closer to God and it will warn the wicked that the end of time is coming and that these are the last warnings. There is more to it than this, but it can't be said by letter. No one can stop if from happening. It is certain, although I know nothing concerning the day or the date."
In another apparition, the year of the Warning was made known to Mari Loli but she has felt impelled not to reveal it.
