The three children were Lucia Santos and her cousins Jacinta and Francisco Marto. Francisco and Jacinta Marto succumbed to the flu epidemic of 1918. Francisco Marto died at home on 4 April 1919, at the age of ten. Jacinta died in hospital, at the age of nine on 20 February 1920. They are buried at the Sanctuary of Fatima, and were beatified by Pope John Paul II on 13 May 2000. Olmpia Marto said that her children happily predicted their own deaths many times to her and to curious pilgrims. At the age of fourteen, Lucia was sent to the school of the Sisters of St. Dorothy in Vilar. In 1928 she became a postulant at the Dorothean convent in Tui, just across the border. Lucia continued to report private visions periodically throughout her life. She reported seeing the Virgin Mary again in 1925 at the Dorothean convent at Pontevedra, Galicia (Spain). This time she said she was asked to convey the message of the First Saturday Devotions. By her account a subsequent vision of Christ as a child reiterated this request. In 1929, she reported that Mary returned and repeated her request for the Consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart. She also reported an apparition in Rianxo, Galicia, in 1931, in which she said that Jesus visited her, taught her two prayers and delivered a message to give to the church's hierarchy. In 1947, Sister Lucia left the Dorothean order and joined the Discalced Carmelite Order in a monastery in Coimbra, Portugal. Lucia died on 13 February 2005, at the age of 97. In 1936 and again in 1941, Sister Lucia said that the Virgin Mary had predicted the deaths of two of the children during the second apparition on 13 June 1917. According to the Lucia's 1941 account, on 13 June, Lucia asked the Virgin if the three children would go to heaven when they died. She said that she heard Mary reply, "Yes, I shall take Francisco and Jacinta soon, but you will remain a little longer, since Jesus wishes you to make me known and loved on Earth. He wishes also for you to establish devotion in the world to my Immaculate Heart." 4.1 5889 20192 portugaliasales 253205295203 25-08-2020 20:15:54 25-08-2020 20:15:54
