A Mysterious Message in Bangkok

I first heard about the mystery of Garabandal in the year 2000 in Bangkok, Thailand, where I was working with a Catholic organization in a Bangkok slum. One night, a Filipino sea merchant handed me a book of “messages.” My reading material—at least in English—was in short supply, so I sat down that night and began to read. One of the recurring themes of the message was, “Garabandal is authentic.” My response was: “What’s Garabandal?” I didn’t know it was a village in Spain. I didn’t know it was the site of a purported appearance of the Virgin Mary in the early 1960s. In a Buddhist country, thanks to a Filipino sailor, I had stumbled on a mysterious message that lamented a forgotten Catholic apparition. Although my interest was piqued, I was busy at that time and my curiosity flickered and died. It wasn’t until several years later, back in the U.S. as the 50^th anniversary of the Garabandal apparitions approached, that I recalled the strange, insistent messages about Garabandal that I had learned about, and realized it was a mystery I wanted to unravel.
It ultimately led to my writing this book:
