Fatima in Lucia's Own Words Quotes

“Mezclábamos nuestras lágrimas a sus aguas, para beberlas de nuevo de la misma fuente donde las derramábamos. ¿No sería esta cisterna imagen de María, en cuyo corazón secábamos nuestro llanto y bebíamos la más pura consolación?"

The demons could be distinguished by their terrifying and repellent likeness to frightful and unknown animals, all black and transparent. This vision lasted but an instant.
