To get ready for Christmas, it can help us now during Advent to reflect a little and to remember how in Garabandal Our Lady wanted to bring Baby Jesus in some of the apparitions.
This year, 2015, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the last apparition of Our Lady in Garabandal. The date was November 13, 1965. It’s impossible not to feel moved when we bring to mind the apparition that took place on that day. The Blessed Virgin is our Mother, and She shows this once again with Her particular interest for her children.
The Church recently celebrated the XIV Ordinary Assembly of the Synod of Bishops to discuss the topic “The vocation and mission of the family in the Church and contemporary world.” Many reflections on the family and, more specifically, the Christian family, came out of the synod. Today the attack on the family is more and more notable. In Garabandal, Our Lady also emphasized the importance of marriage and family..
In Garabandal the Virgin brought with her on several occasions the child Jesus.
Conchita writes in her diary:
"The Virgin sometimes bought with her the Child in her arms. He's was very small, like a new born baby. He had a round face, the same color as Our Lady, a very small mouth, his hair was curly and a bit long: he had very small hands, and was wearing a blue tunic."
