The last day 20 July 2.014 I stopped on the website of the Parish of Garabandal a testimonial about my visit 12 June of the same year. Today, and as web Pilgrims Center, I want to complete, partly, that my first testimony. I also wish to express my absolute obedience to ecclesiastical authority and more specifically, in this case, the Bishop of Santander in everything that concerns his ministry. I consulted written my first visit to San Sebastian de Garabandal and confirmed that it was just eleven days that I spent there, in July 1962. During that time I was able to witness at fourteen visions of girls. That experience was huge to confirm my faith in those moments in my life. The whole of what I experienced was amazing. Experiences and events from a natural standpoint are impossible to explain me. Especially taking into account the circumstances of place, the historical moment and the innocence of those four girls.
At that time and today, I did and I'm doing a series of questions or questions which I can find no reasonable answer humanly. These are my questions:
1.- Concordance of the facts. Events occur simultaneously on four simple and normal girls, nothing hysterical, whose statements and actions there is absolute agreement.
2.- Unexplained wonders. Embellishment, discovery of people, discoveries consciences, Object, rigidity and lightness and softness while girls in the apparitions. Sometimes inexplicable positions but always beautiful and honest positions, etc.
3.- Aesthetics. The facts are presented with ineffable beauty: in faces, scenery, naivety, etc.
4.- Education. With the facts truths that belong to the solid Christian tradition are approved. Both dogmatic and moral aspects, even liturgical. Exalts parental authority, the authority of the Church, the love for the Eucharist, the Blessed Virgin, San Miguel Archangel, the Eucharistic fast, prayer for the souls of purgatory, caring for the sick, the need for prayer and sacrifice repairer, the venerable traditions
marianas: Carmen, Rosary, Queen of Angels, Perpetuo Socorro. Chastity, modesty, voluntary poverty. En general, Faith and improving customs.
5.- Poor environment and lack of any comfort, physical and even spiritual: "God's ways are narrow, long and steep ". Nothing better to explain the Garabandal of those years.
6.- There was talk of cures and supernatural events. Only me
I witnessed the communion of Conchita 18 July that year. We, the Host on the tongue Conchita, less than two meters away. But I've always wondered if it was investigated, one by one, these facts that both spoke in those years.
Asked my father's diary: Miguel Martinez del Cerro and Gomez, I find, dated day 22 August 1962, newly returned from Garabandal, this simple but heartfelt poetry:
"Queen of Heaven
eyes have seen a day.
I have seen reflected
in the eyes of little girls.
I speak no more of sorrow.
I know what is joy!
Queen of Heaven
eyes have seen one day. "
