ON THE WAY TO GARABANDAL

March 23, 1989
France, Biarritz

We arrived at the castle of Ilbarritz, where we were supposed to loge and have the meeting.

We were shown almost every piece of the castle. - On the first floor was a chapel, not yet consecrated. There was a statue in one corner, of Our Lady. I heard her say 'I want My Son near Me'; for in a tiny room, where only junk was left, was also a big, life-size Crucifixion. Temporary left here for reparation.

I approached Jesus on the Cross and He said five quick words: "get me out of here." I felt embarrassed to tell what I heard to the owners, but in the end I did. So we carried Jesus and the Cross, 3 of us, near our Holy Mother. Jesus said He will confirm it by writing.

Jesus?

I am, allow Me to write down all that I have said upstairs in the little room, I have said, "take Me out of here;"

Yes My Lord.

now I will let My Mother confirm Her Words, "what joy will I have, to have My Son near Me, Vassula, go and see Him, He has called you"

Thank you Holy Mother.

We left Biarritz. Our Lady found us a 'guide' volonteering to come with us, who knew Spanish, and also the area. While driving up on the mountains, after a few hours, I was wondering whether our 'guide' really knew where he was taking us. It seemed endless. It was after sunset and slowly getting dark. We were now and then in fog and rain. I was wondering why would I be going there, I had really no idea, maybe to pray and bless Garabandal, as the Lord had asked me more than a year back, but then the Lord had specifically told me that, all this He Himself will do it, my mission is to love Him, console Him, and allow Him to write, so I was wondering, feeling insecure.

Suddenly I saw the sky, it was beautiful with orange clouds, and I felt God's Presence surrounding us. No. He will not abandon us now. I had only to completely abandon myself to Him and trust Him fully; I felt all over again this intimacy He taught me and shares with me, I called Him, Abba. Yes Abba is taking care of me with Great Love.

Finally we arrived and found our way to the Church, mass was still on. We entered. Facing me was a statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and to His right, St. Mary with open arms. I heard her say: "Thank you for coming to Me." Delighted, I answered, "thank you for bringing me here, to You."

After mass, our 'guide' asked the priest if he knew where we could lodge. He was very nice, and told us to follow him. He took us to an inn and asked the lady 1 of the inn. Inspite of her work (she was serving people dinner) she led us to her house. There was one room and a hall. In the hall were 2 camping beds and I would share the room with Beatrice.

Before leaving from Biarritz, I had hesitated whether to take the Fatima statue of Our Lady who accompanies me in all my meetings, or not, I decided to leave her behind, until our return to Biarritz, for fear she would break.

But what do we see on a mantle? The same statue of Our Lady of Fatima, on a shelf. She never left me ... There She was, from Fatima in Garabandal. She carried no Rosary in Her hands. But I had one extra one in my hand-bag. It was a Rosary from Medjugorje. So I placed Medjugorje's rosary in the Hands of Our Lady of Fatima, at Garabandal. The three are linked, now.

We had no alarm to wake us up, but in our room was a big beautiful statue of Saint Therese of Lisieux. I asked St. Therèse to wake us up, at a reasonable time, not too early.

We slept, then in the morning Beatrice and I were woken up by 3 knocks on the door. I lit to see the time and it was sharp 8.00 I said "Oui." Thinking someone is outside the door waking us. I opened the door and no one was there. So St. Therese did not forget us.

After breakfast, I met one of the seer's brothers, then, I went up at every place Our Lady appeared, blessing it, kissing it; we prayed and spend all morning in thee places, then left.


1 We found out later on that this lady is the sister-in-law of one of the seers.
