III. JACINTA’S ILLNESS AND DEATH<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Jacinta, victim of the flu epidemic<\/span><\/p>\n

Jacinta’s days passed like this, when our Lord<\/span>
\nIt caused pneumonia that left her bedridden with her brother (21).<\/span>
\nOn the eve of her illness she said:<\/span>
\n\u2013 My head hurts so much and I’m so thirsty! But I do not want<\/span>
\ndrink to suffer for sinners.<\/span>
\nAll the time I had free from school and some<\/span>
\nWhatever else they told me to do, I went with them. One day,<\/span>
\nWhen she was walking towards school, Jacinta told me:<\/span>
\n\u2013 Hey, tell hidden Jesus that I remember him a lot and I love him<\/span>
\na lot.<\/span>
\nOther times she said:<\/span>
\n\u2013 Tell Jesus that I send him many greetings.<\/span>
\nWhen she first went to her room, she told me:<\/span>
\n\u2013 Go see Francisco; I make the sacrifice to stay<\/span>
\nHere alone.<\/span>
\nOne day her mother brought her a cup of milk and told her that<\/span>
\nit will take.<\/span>
\n\u00abI don’t want to, my mother,\u00bb she responded, pushing the cup away from her with her hands.<\/span>
\nher hands.<\/span>
\nMy aunt insisted a little, and then she left saying:<\/span>
\n\u2013 I don’t know how to make him eat something with such a poor appetite.<\/span>
\nAfter we were alone, I asked him:<\/span>
\n\u2013 Why do you disobey your mother and not offer this sacrifice<\/span>
\nMr?<\/span>
\nLetting some tears fall, which I had the joy of wiping away,<\/span>
\nshe said:<\/span>
\n\u2013 Now I don’t remember!<\/span>
\nShe called her mother and, asking her forgiveness, told her that she would take<\/span>
\neverything she wanted. Her mother brought her the cup of milk and<\/span>
\nshe took it without showing the slightest disgust from it. Then she told me:<\/span>
\n\u2013 If you knew how much it costs me to take it!<\/span>
\nOn another occasion she told me:<\/span>
\n(<\/span>
\n\u2013 It is becoming more and more difficult for me to drink milk and broths;<\/span>
\nbut I do it without saying anything, for love of Our Lord and the Immaculate<\/span>
\nHeart of Mary, our Little Mother from Heaven.<\/span>
\n\u2013 Are you better? I asked him one day.<\/span>
\n\u2013 You already know I’m not getting better.<\/span>
\nAnd she added: \u2013 I have so many chest pains!, but I don’t say<\/span>
\nnothing; I suffer for the conversion of sinners.<\/span>
\nWhen one day I arrived next to her she asked me:<\/span>
\n\u2013 Have you made many sacrifices today? I have done many.<\/span>
\n\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

My mother is out, and I wanted to go many times to visit Francisco<\/span>
\nand I didn’t go.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Visits of Our Lady<\/span><\/p>\n

By then she recovered a little; and sometimes she would get up and<\/span>
\nShe sat on her brother’s bed. One day he sent for me,<\/span>
\nso that he would go to her quickly. I ran there, and she told me:<\/span>
\n– Our lady. She has come to see us, and she has said that very<\/span>
\nShe will soon come to look for Francisco to take him to Heaven. Me<\/span>
\nShe asked me if she still wanted to convert more sinners. I told<\/span>
\nyes. And she answered me that she would go to a hospital, and that there she would suffer a lot,<\/span>
\nfor the conversion of sinners and in reparation for<\/span>
\nsins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary and for<\/span>
\nlove to Jesus. I asked him if you would come with me. She said no.<\/span>
\nThis is what costs me the most. She said my mother was going to take me and<\/span>
\nAfterwards she would be left there alone.<\/span>
\nShe remained thoughtful for a while and added:<\/span>
\n\u2013 If you went with me! The hardest thing for me is going without you. Such<\/span>
\nMaybe the hospital is a very dark house where you can’t see anything and I<\/span>
\nI will be there, suffering alone. But it does not matter; I suffer for love of the Lord,<\/span>
\nto repair the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the conversion<\/span>
\nof sinners and for the Holy Father.<\/span>
\nWhen the time came for her little brother to leave for Heaven<\/span>
\n(22), she made her recommendations:<\/span>
\n\u2013 Give many greetings to Our Lord and Our Lady;<\/span>
\nand tell them that I will suffer as much as they want to convert the<\/span>
\nsinners and to repair the Immaculate Heart of Mary.<\/span>
\n(22) Francis dies a holy death, after confessing and receiving the Blessed Sacrament<\/span>
\nHe suffered a lot with the death of his brother. He was left a lot<\/span>
\nthoughtful time and, if she asked him what he was thinking about,<\/span>
\nshe responded:<\/span>
\n\u2013 In Francisco. Who would let me see it!<\/span>
\nAnd her eyes filled with tears.<\/span>
\nOne day I told him:<\/span>
\n\u2013 You have little left to go to Heaven, but me?<\/span>
\n\u2013 Poor thing!, don’t cry; There I have to ask a lot for you. Our<\/span>
\nLady wants it that way. If she chose me, she would be happy,<\/span>
\nto suffer more for sinners.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. At the Our\u00e9m Hospital<\/span><\/p>\n

She arrived the day to go to the hospital (23), where she really had to<\/span>
\nTo suffer a lot. When her mother came to visit her, she asked her if she wanted<\/span>
\nsomething; She told him that she wanted to see me. My aunt, despite the many<\/span>
\nsacrifices, she took me. As soon as she saw me, she hugged me with joy.<\/span>
\nand asked her mother to leave me with her and go do<\/span>
\n\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

and asked her mother to leave me with her and go do<\/span>
\nsome shopping.<\/span>
\nI asked her if she was suffering a lot.<\/span>
\n\u2013 I suffer, yes, but I offer everything for sinners and to make reparation<\/span>
\nto the Immaculate Heart of Mary.<\/span>
\nAfterwards she spoke enthusiastically about Our Lord and Our<\/span>
\nLady. And she said:<\/span>
\n\u2013 It pleases me so much to suffer for her love, to please them! TO<\/span>
\nThey really like those who suffer for the conversion of the<\/span>
\nsinners.<\/span>
\nThe time spent visiting passed quickly; and my aunt had<\/span>
\nalready arrived to pick me up. She asked Jacinta if she wanted any<\/span>
\nstuff; She only asked him to bring me back on the next visit, and my<\/span>
\ngood aunt, who wanted to please her daughter, brought me another<\/span>
\ntime. I found her with the same joy for being able to suffer for the love of<\/span>
\nour good God, to repair the Immaculate Heart of Mary,<\/span>
\nfor sinners and for the Holy Father. All this was her ideal, it was<\/span>
\nwhat she was talking about.<\/span>
\n(23) This is the first hospital where she was admitted for a month: Vila Nova<\/span>
\nof Our\u00e9m.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. 4. Return to Aljustrel<\/span><\/p>\n

She returned to her parents’ house for some time. She had a<\/span>
\nlarge open wound in her chest, whose daily cures she suffered without a<\/span>
\ncomplaint, without showing the slightest signs of anger.<\/span>
\nWhat was most difficult for him were the frequent visits and interrogations<\/span>
\nof the people who were looking for her, of those who now she does not<\/span>
\nshe could hide.<\/span>
\n\u201cI also offer this sacrifice for sinners,\u201d he said.<\/span>
\nwith resignation: Who could go to Cabezo again to be able to<\/span>
\nPray a Rosary in our grotto! But I’m no longer capable. When<\/span>
\ngo to Cova de Ir\u00eda, pray for me. I will certainly never return<\/span>
\nthere \u2013she said crying.<\/span>
\nOne day my aunt told me:<\/span>
\n\u2013 Ask Jacinta what she thinks when she is so<\/span>
\ntime with hands on face, without moving; I have already asked him,<\/span>
\nbut she smiles and doesn’t answer.<\/span>
\nI asked him the question.<\/span>
\n\u2013 I think of Our Lord, of Our Lady, of sinners<\/span>
\nand in… (she named some things of the secret); I like it alot<\/span>
\nthink.<\/span>
\nMy aunt asked me about her little daughter’s response; with a smile<\/span>
\nShe had it all said. Then my aunt said to my mother:<\/span>
\n– I don’t understand; The lives of these children are an enigma.<\/span>
\nAnd my mother added:<\/span>
\n\u2013 When they are alone, they talk out loud, without people<\/span>
\nbe able to understand a word, no matter how much they listen; and<\/span>
\nWhen someone arrives, they lower their heads and say nothing. Can’t<\/span>
\nunderstand this mystery!<\/span><\/p>\n

5. New visits from the Virgin<\/span><\/p>\n

Again the Blessed Virgin visited Jacinta to announce<\/span>
\nnew crosses and sacrifices. She told me the news and told me:<\/span>
\n\u2013 Our Lady has told me that I am going to Lisbon, to another<\/span>
\nhospital, that I will not see you again, nor my parents; that after<\/span>
\nsuffer a lot, I will die alone; but don’t be afraid: She will go to me<\/span>
\nsearch to take me to Heaven. \u2013 And hugging me, she said crying:<\/span>
\n\u2013 I will never see you again; you will not go to visit me there. Hey!<\/span>
\nPray a lot for me, because I will die alone.<\/span>
\nUntil the day came to go to Lisbon she suffered enormously; she knows<\/span>
\nShe hugged me and said crying:<\/span>
\n\u2013 I will never see you again, nor my mother, nor my brothers, nor<\/span>
\nto my father. I will never see you again; Afterwards, I have to die alone!<\/span>
\n\u2013 Don’t think about that \u2013 I told him one day.<\/span>
\n\u2013 Let me think, because the more I think, the more I suffer. Me too<\/span>
\nI want to suffer for love of Our Lord and for sinners. And also,<\/span>
\nI don’t mind; Our Lady will go look for me there to take me<\/span>
\nto heaven.<\/span>
