The First Vision

Mary

Fatima was about to explode upon the world, Mary 13, 1917. The decades of preparations were complete – the revelation of the miraculous medal, the infallible proclamation of my Immaculate Conception, the devotion at Lourdes and at the other apparition sites. The children were prepared by the angelic visits and by their total surrender to his teachings.

All was ready. The moment arrived for me to awaken them. They saw me and knew that I came from heaven. They asked about heaven and I assured them that they would be with me. Francisco had to say many rosaries.

How I loved them. The divine action had begun. I began to place in their hearts the Fatima gift, planned by the Father from the beginning of the world. They fully received this gift, as only children can receive. They embraced it and took it into their hearts. I was at peace. The Father had chosen correctly, the gift would be safe in their little hearts. O children of Fatima, little do you realize what I will do within you. You will bless the whole world. Your mother promises.
