THE SECOND STATION

Jacinta sees a vision of the Sacred Heart

Two days after the first apparition of St. Michael... 

but before the first apparition of Our Lady...

the girls went up a bit farther in the calleja, or small path, where they had seen the first apparition of St. Michael. They did this because some younger boys had thrown stones at them the day before. 

In their higher spot, they were more hidden from view. From this new vantage [uitkijk] point, they saw a large smooth stone even further up, upon which they could all kneel. 

It was to [naar] this new spot [plek] that they subsequently went on the day of the first vision of the Blessed Virgin.

Jacinta said in an interview, that while the other three girls fell into ecstasy seeing the angel, she was a little behind, and suddenly, like a flash, saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus. 

Jacinta states that this vision made a deep impression on her, and although He did not speak to her, His loving gaze penetrated deep into her heart, and He gestured with His Hands, pointing to His Heart with His left hand, and beckoning her to come with His right hand.

The Message: 

Christ comes to us as loving and merciful Lord...

Who welcomes us into His Sacred Heart. 

He is The Good Shepherd, seeking His lost sheep. He is The Good Samaritan, picking us up from the beating of sin, reviving us with the water from His Heart, healing our wounds with the oil of His Forgiveness and Mercy, and taking us home with the payment of His Blood. 

Lastly, He is the Loving Father, Who welcomes His prodigal children with open arms, inviting them back to the fold.

The Garabandal Message is as much, if not more, about Mercy and Forgiveness... 

than about justice and consequences. 

What are the Warning and Miracle... 

if not great examples of Divine Mercy?
