LUCIA SANTOS Lucia was born 22 March 1907, the youngest of 7 children, to Antonio and Maria Rosa Santos. Lucia was a brilliant child and a 'natural leader'. She was able to help her little cousins Francisco and Jacinta through the difficult days following the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary. She entered Carmel in 1948 and became Sister Maria Lucia of the Immaculate Heart.
+ FRANCISCO MARTO Francisco was born 11 June 1908 and died at home on 4 April 1919 He was a 'very sensitive and contemplative child' according to those who knew him.
+ JACINTA MARTO Jacinta was born 2 years later in Aljustrel on 11 March 1910. She die a 'holy death' according those who knew her on 20 February 1920 in Lisbon.
+ MARY EMPHASIZED THE DAILY ROSARY Her message above was of Peace. But first, her requests for prayer, reparation and consecration must be met. She also emphasized the daily rosary. Between May 13th and October 13th 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to 3 little children, Lucia and her cousins Jacinta and Francisco. +
Sent from God, she brought a series of 6 messages to them - to a world filled with sin and the great war - (WW I - in which 37 million people - a whole generation of people - would lose their lives). for more information see ASSAULT ON ROSARY - MARY AND THE ROSARY ANGEL OF PORTUGAL - ROAD TO SAINTHOOD also follow these below 3 SECRETS / FATIMA - SKY WAS RED SHOPPING CART - MORE LINKS |

~ ANGEL of PORTUGAL ~ |
|
FOR THE VISITATION
The children were born in the village of Aljustrel, parish of Fatima which was a protected world of the catechism and scripture. The world around them lived in freemasonry, (which was not kind to the church), and political unrest which would stir a war that would effect the whole world. The angel of Portugal prepares the hearts of the children for the coming of the Virgin by teaching them how to pray. We can gain much from these prayers by praying them with an open heart and letting them sink deeply into our being. |

Beginning in the spring of 1916, the Angel of Portugal came 3 times to tutor the children, preparing them for the first visitation of the Mother of God. On his 1st visit he said: +
+Then he knelt down and bending over, touched his forehead to the ground. The children did the same and then heard the angel say 3 times: ++
Then he said +

The children are playing and suddenly the angel comes again and says: +
They asked how they could do this and the angel answered: +

The angel leaves the chalice suspended in the air and says:

~ ASSAULT AGAINST ROSARY ~ |
|
'The devil,' she lamented, 'had focused his assault against the Rosary, which she described as the prayer, after the holy liturgy itself, "most apt for preserving the faith in souls." Devotion to the Immaculate Heart would be key, said the famous nun, and that consists of considering the Blessed Mother as the "seat of mercy, of goodness, and of pardon and as the certain door by which we are to enter Heaven." +
Sister Lucia died February 13, 2005 of congestive heart failure. May the Lord give her glory in his kingdom. |
|
~ MARY and the ROSARY ~ |
|
At Fatima, Mary revealed herself as 'Our Lady of the Rosary' emphasizing the praying of the rosary daily to all of her children. Today, we are called to pick up our rosaries and pray them more than ever before. +
INSPIRED TO DESIGN ROSARIES In honor of this beautiful declaration, we were inspired to make three rosaries, (two inspired and made on May 13th, 2000 in remembrance of Jacinta and her brother, Francisco) - They called the sun, 'Our Ladies Lamp' and the stars, 'The Angels Lanterns'. We honor these two because they set a valuable example to families and their children today on how we should live our lives by saying 'yes' to the Lord so we may fully become who he made us to be. The 'yes' of these children changed the world. + THIRD INSPIRED BY SISTER LUCIA The third and most recent one was dedicated to Sister Lucia on Feb 13, (the day of her death). 'I Adore Thee' reflects the words spoken by the Angel of Portugal to the children. On the death of Sr Lucia, we dedicated the first rosary shown. |

(and Mary's constant message regarding the rosary) + 13 MAY In Mary's first visit with the 3 little shepherd children, she assured them "Do not be afraid, I will not harm you." When Lucia, the oldest child asked where she came from, The Lady pointed to the sky and said: "I come from heaven." Then she asked what she wanted and Mary replied: "I have come to ask you to come here for six months on the 13th day of the month, at this same hour. Later I shall say who I am and what I desire. And I shall return here yet a seventh time." + Lucia asked her if they would go to heaven and Mary relpied:
+ 13 JUNE
13 JULY
She also said,
13 AUGUST
13 SEPTEMBER
13 OCTOBER
TODAY HER MESSAGE IS LOUD AND CLEAR - PRAY THE ROSARY More than every before we must hear her message regarding the powerful prayers of the rosary. Please take the time to pray your rosary and encourage others to do the same. Pray for our Pope Francis, who will need our prayers, along with all our Priests, Religous and for our Nations Leaders. May they have the spirit of our founding fathers. |

CALLED TO BE SAINTS Those who have given us the way through their life choices are called forward by the church and named. The church is careful in these choices, taking time to study and confirm the holiness of each person. Below is a short overview of the steps taken before a person or person receive the title of Saint before their name. In this case of the children of Fatima: ~~~{ 1946 } ~~~

~ 3 SECRETS of FATIMA ~ |
|
BEEN REVEALED? 2 of the 3 secrets or prophecies of Fatima, are believed to be WW II (a vision of 'hell') and the rise and fall of Communism and the USSR. The 3rd secret has been filled with speculation as nothing has ever been revealed about it until recently. Many believed it had to do with the end of the world. But on May 13, 2000, the Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Angelo Sodano said in part 'the 3rd secret of Fatima' speaks of a 'bishop clothed in white' -who- 'falls to the ground, apparently dead, under a burst of gunfire.' (Sister Lucia, the last living visionary of Fatima, recently confirmed this to be John Paul II.) + THE VIRGIN OF FATIMA INTERVENES Sodano also commented that the Holy Father believes the Virgin of Fatima saved his life after he was shot by Ali Agca, a Turkish gunman, in St. Peter’s square on May 13, 1981, the anniversary of the first reported vision of the Virgin of Fatima in 1917. When the Pope turned his head to look at a young girl wearing an image of Our Lady of Fatima, the poisoned bullet aimed at his head missed. + (It was recently revealed this was a political attempt of assassination by the Communists to remove the Holy Father who had done much to block the party. This is now a matter of history.) + FORGIVENESS RELEASES A recent interview with the gunman, Ali Agca revealed that he has desired, if released, to spend 10 days with the Virgin of Fatima. A perfect example of the reason we must forgive, like John Paul II forgave this attempt on his life. Forgiveness releases - allowing both sides to heal. + FINDING THE BULLETS The first bullet, which almost killed John Paul II, is now set in the crown of the Virgin in Fatima Portugal. The second was found miraculously 'frozen' in the barrel of Agca's gun. |

~ THE SKY WAS RED ~ |
|
THE ENTIRE SKY WAS RED I remember well the "lights" at night as foretold at Fatima. I was about 6 at the time - in first grade. Everyone was outside very late … just looking. We were all agog ... I mean everyone in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the world!! Since we had never heard of Fatima, there was no apprehension. There was no association made at that time with any place except the north-pole. + OUR MEMORIES WERE THE SAME It wasn't until I was an adult that I learned about Fatima. Communications were so different then, and the second world war occupied everyone's attention, because as you certainly know, everyone one had relatives in the service. Long after Fatima became a Catholic household word, I heard Mother Angelica telling how she had seen the lights and it brought everything back to me. Our memories were the same, but I had never made the connection. + SOON MUCH BLOOD SHED Soon after, I heard how Hitler went out on his balcony to view the sight and it made my skin crawl to think that we had watched the same thing at the same time and HE was so intimately involved in such an obscene way. He told his staff members at the meeting, that there was soon going to be much blood shed. And at the time, no one knew what *he* was talking about. + I'll bet there are many people of a certain age who saw the lights also but never put the story together. Maybe this will help. That night - the entire sky was red!! Joan N (FL) |
