Our Lady of Fatima

May 13, 1917

The First

Lucia
The children were again playing games, while tending their sheep in the field.  Suddenly they saw a flash of light. Believing it to be lightning, even though the sky was clear, the children gathered the sheep and started for home. They took refuge under a tree about a hundred yards away. They saw a flash of light again. They began running, going about a hundred yards further when suddenly they saw, standing over a small holmoak tree, a Lady dressed in white more brilliant than the sun.

 Do not be afraid. I will do you no harm.

 Where are you from?

 I am from heaven.

What do you want of me?

I have come to ask you to come here for six months in  succession, on the 13th day, at this same hour. Later on, I will tell you who I am and what I want. Afterwards, I will return here  yet a seventh time.

 Shall I go to heaven too?

Yes, you will.

 And Jacinta?

She will go also.

And Francisco?

He will go there too, but he must say many Rosaries

(Lucia had two friends that had died recently)
 Is Maria das Neves in heaven? (She was about 16 years old)

 Yes, she is

And Amelia?(She was about 18 years old)

She will be in purgatory until the end of the world.

 Are you willing to offer yourselves to God and bear all the  sufferings He wills to send you, as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and of supplication for the Conversion of sinners?

Yes, we are willing.

Then you are going to have much to suffer, but the grace of God will be your comfort.'
Pray the Rosary every day, in order to obtain peace for the world, and the end of the war.

Then she began to rise, going east, until she disappeared
 

"Not a few people have expressed considerable surprise the memory that God has deigned to give me. In this matter indeed I have, through His infinite goodness, been quite favored in every respect. Where supernatural things are concerned this is not to be wondered at, for these are imprinted on the mind in such a way that it is almost impossible to forget them"
