III. JACINTA’S ILLNESS AND DEATH

1. Jacinta, victim of the flu epidemic

Jacinta’s days passed like this, when our Lord
It caused pneumonia that left her bedridden with her brother (21).
On the eve of her illness she said:
– My head hurts so much and I’m so thirsty! But I do not want
drink to suffer for sinners.
All the time I had free from school and some
Whatever else they told me to do, I went with them. One day,
When she was walking towards school, Jacinta told me:
– Hey, tell hidden Jesus that I remember him a lot and I love him
a lot.
Other times she said:
– Tell Jesus that I send him many greetings.
When she first went to her room, she told me:
– Go see Francisco; I make the sacrifice to stay
Here alone.
One day her mother brought her a cup of milk and told her that
it will take.
«I don’t want to, my mother,» she responded, pushing the cup away from her with her hands.
her hands.
My aunt insisted a little, and then she left saying:
– I don’t know how to make him eat something with such a poor appetite.
After we were alone, I asked him:
– Why do you disobey your mother and not offer this sacrifice
Mr?
Letting some tears fall, which I had the joy of wiping away,
she said:
– Now I don’t remember!
She called her mother and, asking her forgiveness, told her that she would take
everything she wanted. Her mother brought her the cup of milk and
she took it without showing the slightest disgust from it. Then she told me:
– If you knew how much it costs me to take it!
On another occasion she told me:
(
– It is becoming more and more difficult for me to drink milk and broths;
but I do it without saying anything, for love of Our Lord and the Immaculate
Heart of Mary, our Little Mother from Heaven.
– Are you better? I asked him one day.
– You already know I’m not getting better.
And she added: – I have so many chest pains!, but I don’t say
nothing; I suffer for the conversion of sinners.
When one day I arrived next to her she asked me:
– Have you made many sacrifices today? I have done many.
​

My mother is out, and I wanted to go many times to visit Francisco
and I didn’t go.

2. Visits of Our Lady

By then she recovered a little; and sometimes she would get up and
She sat on her brother’s bed. One day he sent for me,
so that he would go to her quickly. I ran there, and she told me:
– Our lady. She has come to see us, and she has said that very
She will soon come to look for Francisco to take him to Heaven. Me
She asked me if she still wanted to convert more sinners. I told
yes. And she answered me that she would go to a hospital, and that there she would suffer a lot,
for the conversion of sinners and in reparation for
sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary and for
love to Jesus. I asked him if you would come with me. She said no.
This is what costs me the most. She said my mother was going to take me and
Afterwards she would be left there alone.
She remained thoughtful for a while and added:
– If you went with me! The hardest thing for me is going without you. Such
Maybe the hospital is a very dark house where you can’t see anything and I
I will be there, suffering alone. But it does not matter; I suffer for love of the Lord,
to repair the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the conversion
of sinners and for the Holy Father.
When the time came for her little brother to leave for Heaven
(22), she made her recommendations:
– Give many greetings to Our Lord and Our Lady;
and tell them that I will suffer as much as they want to convert the
sinners and to repair the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
(22) Francis dies a holy death, after confessing and receiving the Blessed Sacrament
He suffered a lot with the death of his brother. He was left a lot
thoughtful time and, if she asked him what he was thinking about,
she responded:
– In Francisco. Who would let me see it!
And her eyes filled with tears.
One day I told him:
– You have little left to go to Heaven, but me?
– Poor thing!, don’t cry; There I have to ask a lot for you. Our
Lady wants it that way. If she chose me, she would be happy,
to suffer more for sinners.

3. At the Ourém Hospital

She arrived the day to go to the hospital (23), where she really had to
To suffer a lot. When her mother came to visit her, she asked her if she wanted
something; She told him that she wanted to see me. My aunt, despite the many
sacrifices, she took me. As soon as she saw me, she hugged me with joy.
and asked her mother to leave me with her and go do
​

and asked her mother to leave me with her and go do
some shopping.
I asked her if she was suffering a lot.
– I suffer, yes, but I offer everything for sinners and to make reparation
to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Afterwards she spoke enthusiastically about Our Lord and Our
Lady. And she said:
– It pleases me so much to suffer for her love, to please them! TO
They really like those who suffer for the conversion of the
sinners.
The time spent visiting passed quickly; and my aunt had
already arrived to pick me up. She asked Jacinta if she wanted any
stuff; She only asked him to bring me back on the next visit, and my
good aunt, who wanted to please her daughter, brought me another
time. I found her with the same joy for being able to suffer for the love of
our good God, to repair the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
for sinners and for the Holy Father. All this was her ideal, it was
what she was talking about.
(23) This is the first hospital where she was admitted for a month: Vila Nova
of Ourém.

4. 4. Return to Aljustrel

She returned to her parents’ house for some time. She had a
large open wound in her chest, whose daily cures she suffered without a
complaint, without showing the slightest signs of anger.
What was most difficult for him were the frequent visits and interrogations
of the people who were looking for her, of those who now she does not
she could hide.
“I also offer this sacrifice for sinners,” he said.
with resignation: Who could go to Cabezo again to be able to
Pray a Rosary in our grotto! But I’m no longer capable. When
go to Cova de Iría, pray for me. I will certainly never return
there –she said crying.
One day my aunt told me:
– Ask Jacinta what she thinks when she is so
time with hands on face, without moving; I have already asked him,
but she smiles and doesn’t answer.
I asked him the question.
– I think of Our Lord, of Our Lady, of sinners
and in… (she named some things of the secret); I like it alot
think.
My aunt asked me about her little daughter’s response; with a smile
She had it all said. Then my aunt said to my mother:
– I don’t understand; The lives of these children are an enigma.
And my mother added:
– When they are alone, they talk out loud, without people
be able to understand a word, no matter how much they listen; and
When someone arrives, they lower their heads and say nothing. Can’t
understand this mystery!

5. New visits from the Virgin

Again the Blessed Virgin visited Jacinta to announce
new crosses and sacrifices. She told me the news and told me:
– Our Lady has told me that I am going to Lisbon, to another
hospital, that I will not see you again, nor my parents; that after
suffer a lot, I will die alone; but don’t be afraid: She will go to me
search to take me to Heaven. – And hugging me, she said crying:
– I will never see you again; you will not go to visit me there. Hey!
Pray a lot for me, because I will die alone.
Until the day came to go to Lisbon she suffered enormously; she knows
She hugged me and said crying:
– I will never see you again, nor my mother, nor my brothers, nor
to my father. I will never see you again; Afterwards, I have to die alone!
– Don’t think about that – I told him one day.
– Let me think, because the more I think, the more I suffer. Me too
I want to suffer for love of Our Lord and for sinners. And also,
I don’t mind; Our Lady will go look for me there to take me
to heaven.
