Consecration to the Holy Family
After the 3rd apparition of the Angel, in the autumn of 1916, when Francisco and Jacinta received the Precious Blood, he said: “I felt that God was within me, but I did not know how.”
Francisco said to Lucia: “You go to school, and I’ll stay here in the church, close to the Hidden Jesus. It is not worth my while learning to read as I’ll be going to heaven very soon.”
Francisco said to Jacinta, after receiving Holy Communion the day before he died: “I am happier than you are because I have the Hidden Jesus within my heart.”
