Third Apparition of the Angel of Portugal
Lucia is uncertain when the third apparition of the angel
occurred, sometime in late September or in October 1916 is her
recollection. Having gone to the Cabeco with their flocks, and being
more attentive to the words of the angel, they immediately knelt
down to pray the prayer taught them by the angel: My God, I believe,
I adore etc...
After we had repeated this prayer I don't know how many time we saw
the shining over us a strange light. We lifted our heads to see what
was happening. the Angel was holding in his left hand a chalice and
over it, in the air, was a host from which drops of blood fell into
the chalice. The Angel leaves the chalice in the air, kneels near us
and tells us to 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 indifferences
by which He is offended. And by the infinite merits of His most
Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion
of poor sinners.
After that he rose, took again in his hand the chalice and the host.
The host he gave to me and the contents of the chalice he gave to
Jacinta and Francisco, saying at the same time,
Eat and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ terribly
outraged by the ingratitude of men. Offer reparation for their sakes
and console God.
Once more he bowed to the ground repeating with us the same prayer
thrice: Oh, Blessed Trinity etc. and disappeared. Overwhelmed by the
supernatural atmosphere that involved us, we imitated the Angel in
everything, kneeling prostrate as he did and repeating the prayers
he said.
It was in this way that catechized in prayer, reparative suffering,
and the doctrine of the Holy Eucharist, and strengthened by the
Bread of Angels, that the children of Fátima were prepared for the
visitation of the Queen of Portugal, the Immaculate Virgin Mary.
