Many prayers for your healing, Glenn. My Mom had the same procedure and did very well after a short recuperation. We loved that the name of the replacement valve was called the “St. Jude” valve. It worked splendidly!
For those new members who would like a brief explanation of the Apparitions at Garabandal, by actor Ricardo Montalban
GARABANDAL: THE WARNING This short 2 minute video will give you an explanation of what the “ Warning “ is, as revealed to Conchita and Mari Loli, by our Blessed Mother.
MORNING OFFERING PRAYER Our Blessed Mother said in Garabandal on October 18th, 1961, "We must make many sacrifices, perform much penance, and visit the Blessed Sacrament frequently. But first, we must lead good lives. " In 1945 Jesus told Lucia, the seer of Fatima, "The sacrifice and penance I now seek and require is the fulfillment of your state in life and the observance of my laws." Whatever your state in life may be you can sanctify all your daily actions if upon arising you recite sincerely the morning offering prayer. Through the "Morning Offering of Reparation" every act you do becomes a sacrifice. The word "sacrifice" means to make "holy." Once you have made your morning offering you make "holy" every act you do throughout the day. Whatever trial God permits to pass your way during the day becomes a penance — whether it be work, bad weather, rebellious children, sickness in the family, tight economic conditions or misunderstandings by relatives or friends. All these sacrifices and penances obtain graces the Blessed Virgin needs for the conversion of sinners. Padre Pio said it best, "If you knew the value of suffering, you wouldn't give it up."
Hello to all ! I can't thank you enough for all the prayers you send as they were greatly needed and appreciated ! I am finally home. I had quite the scare during surgery an artery collapsed and 2 nights ago, my blood pressure dropped to 50/30 and I collapsed on the bathroom floor unconscious. But a quick response from the Nurses and Doctors brought me back. ( and yes, I know it was our Lord & Blessed Mother who I really owe the credit to). This was a life changing week. Prayers make a difference ! Recovery will continue at home, for the next few weeks as I face another surgery to replace my Aortic Valve next month. I humbly ask for your continued prayers and I will resume posting here on Sunday and responding to questions but on a reduced schedule. Again my eternal thanks for your prayers, Glenn
Godspeed! Our Lady of Mt Carmel de Garabandal will heal you swiftly. You are still doing Her work-bringing Her messages of Garabandal to all! Shes Got you as does Her Son! Amen. God Bless you.
Praise God, Glenn. All of this during Lent! Like some other forum members, you are living your own passion. I will continue to pray for you and your caregivers.
Oh my gosh Glenn. So thankful that you are still with us!! Prayers will continue! Much love to you and your family…
The Blessed Mother speaks of Abortion at Garabandal Among the fulfilled prophecies of Garabandal was one that only came to light with the publication of a German book [Garabandal — Der Zeigefinger Gottes.] on Garabandal in 1992. The author, Albrecht Weber, was in Garabandal on the day after Conchita's last apparition at Garabandal on November 13,1965, and had a long conversation with the visionary. The following excerpt from his book deals with some of what the visionary told him: She [Conchita] spoke quite openly about the developments by which men in the near future would rebel against God. On the day after Our Lady's last appearance at Garabandal, Conchita asked the author, "Can you imagine how somebody could kill children in the womb without thereby killing the mother?" The author spontaneously answered, "No! What gave you that idea, Conchita?" "Well, the Blessed Mother spoke about this and she let me know that this will happen with the overflowing of the chalice." [In her second Message of June 18,1965, the Virgin said, "Before, the cup was filling up. Now it is flowing over."] Conchita said this tremblingly without being able to visualize what it really implied. She said further that it disturbed her very much but that she felt ridiculous because she hadn't understood at all how this killing could be effected. The Blessed Virgin had not explained it to her and up until that moment, nobody had been able to make her understand it at all. Conchita would learn soon enough when abortion became legalized, even in her native country. The Blessed Virgin had spoken about this unfortunate practice to the visionary, in terms that had left her stunned. Indeed, at the time, Conchita did not understand "how it was possible to kill a child in his (or hers) mother's womb without killing the mother at the same time . . .!"
