The first source of reference is Joey Lomangino who has known the visionary since 1963. Joey vividly recalls Conchita telling him that the Virgin said there would not be a third world war. According to Joey, there may be skirmishes or limited wars between countries but not a global conflict.

A second source of reference is Anne Mequeli from Brentwood, New York. Anne, a dedicated worker for the New York Center Scapular Committee, is a good friend of Conchita’s and frequently attends the visionary’s monthly holy hour to ‘pray for priests’. She gives the following testimony:

One night in Conchita’s house, everyone was talking about the ‘Cuban Crisis’ when Conchita said to me, “At that time in my village, all the people feared a third world war and everyone had radios close to their ears waiting to hear of such a war. But I had an apparition at the time and the Blessed Virgin told me, ‘No World War Three.”

Third source of reference is a taped conversation between Conchita and Bishop Franciso Garmendia, Auxillary Bishop of New York, on August 27, 1981. In answer to the Bishop’s question about the ‘end of times,’ Conchita responded:

“I don’t know if you remember but in France they were saying that in 1962 world war would break out—she (The Virgin) told us that there would never be another world war. Everybody, in fact, was frightened that day, including me, when the Virgin appeared and said, “Don’t be afraid because there will never be a world war.”

I had a thought. (this is just my opinion) . Clearly in WW1 & WW2, the world was equally divided, you were either on one side or the other militarily or politically. It is possible to have multiple wars globally, but for different reasons. Obviously, a Middle East war, might not have anything to do with a conflict in Korea, or between Russia & Europe or the US. It is possible to have the world at war but not in the sense of the world equally divided as it was with WW1 & WW2. I think we need to understand and distinguish the difference between a "World War" (as it was defined in the past I & II ) and a " World AT War " ( meaning several unrelated conflicts exiting simultaneously ).

Now it is also quite possible that we could be on the brink of WW3, and the “Warning” prevents it from happening, which would be what the girls said “things would be at their worst, before the Warning”.

An excerpt from the above mentioned German book[2nd Ed.]
Mrs. (Christine) Bocabeille then asked Mari Loli:
“If you are not allowed to tell me the exact year of the Warning, perhaps you could tell me approximately when it will happen.”
“Yes it will be that time when the world will most need it.”
“When is that?”

“When Russia will unexpectedly and suddenly overrun and overwhelm a great part of the free world. God does not want this to happen so quickly. In any case the Warning will come when you will see that Holy Mass cannot be celebrated freely anymore; then it will be that the world will most need the intervention of God”
