Full Story

A year before Our Lady appeared to the three children of Fatima, an angel visited three times to teach them to pray and make sacrifice. In the first visit, the angel said, “Do not be afraid! I am the Angel of Peace. Pray with me.” Kneeling on the ground, he bowed down until his forehead touched the ground and made them repeat three times: “My God, I believe, I adore, I hope, and I love You. I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope, and do not love You.” In the second visit, the angel said, “Pray, pray very much! The Most Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary have designs of mercy on you. Offer prayers and sacrifice constantly to the Most High. The hearts of Jesus and Mary have a mission for you." The angel appeared a third and final time. One of the children, Lucia, described it as follows. An extraordinary light shine upon us. We sprang up to see what was happening, and beheld the angel. He was holding a chalice in his left hand, with the host suspended above it, from which some drops of blood fell into the chalice. Leaving the chalice suspended in the air, the angel knelt down beside us and made us repeat three times: "Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly, and I offer You the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference with which He, Himself is offended. And through the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg you for the conversion of poor sinners.” ...We remained a long time in this position, repeating the same words over and over again. When at last we stood up we noticed that it was already dark, and therefore time to return home.
