THE APPARITIONS OF THE GUARDIAN ANGEL OF PORTUGAL

2016 marks the 100th anniversary of the Apparitions of the Angel of Peace to the Three Shepherd Children of Fatima

THE THIRD APPARITION

Lucia is uncertain when the third apparition of the angel occurred, either in late September or in October 1916 is her recollection. Having gone to the south side of the Cabeco aer lunch with their flocks, and being more aentive 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…”

Lucia reports: “Aer we had repeated this prayer I don’t know how many times we saw a strange light shining over us. We lied our heads to see what was hap- pening. The Angel was holding in his le hand a chalice and over it, in the air, was a host from which drops of blood fell into the chalice. The Angel le the chalice suspended in mid-air, knelt near us and told us to repeat three times:

‘O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I adore Thee profoundly, and I offer Thee the Most Pre- cious 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.’

“Aer that he rose and 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 repa- ration for their sakes and console God.’

“Once more he bowed to the ground repeating with us the same prayer thrice:

‘O Most Holy Trinity, etc…’

“and disappeared. Overwhelmed by the supernatural atmosphere that enveloped us, we imitated the Angel in every- thing, kneeling prostrate as he did and repeating the prayers he said.”

It was in this way that being catechized in prayer, reparative suffering, and the doctrine of the Holy Eucharist, and strengthened by the Bread of Angels, the children of Fatima were prepared for the visitation of the Queen of Portugal, the Immaculate Virgin Mary.

“The Angel of Portugal at Fátima” By Fr. William Wagner, ORC Of Opus Sanctorum Angelorum

This little book retells the angel’s lessons to the three shepherd children, and how they, following his guidance, grew in a short time to heroic sanctity. Thus, well prepared for the Blessed Virgin’s coming at Fatima, they convincingly convey her message to those who have ears to hear. You, too, can enter this angelic school, gain new depths in your spiritual life and so find peace, joy and purpose by con- forming your life to God’s salvific plan.
