An Angel Appears at Fatima - Part 3
Welcome, and thank you for joining me for America Needs Fatima’s series “Stories of the Angels.” In this series we will be exploring the incredible angelic encounters found within scriptures, transcripts, stories of the saints and more, in an effort to understand their God-given mission. Come with me as I share the messages, prayers, and warnings these angels have brought to us and discover the many complexities that make them the most fascinating creatures to ever exist! Join us in this exploration of the mysteries surrounding God’s most faithful ministers, the admirable creatures we call the ANGELS.
Today we will dive into the third apparition of the Angel of Portugal, also called the Angel of Peace. In the first and second apparitions, the three children of Fatima were visited by an angel whom they described as “a light whiter than snow in the shape of a transparent young man who was more brilliant than a crystal struck by the rays of the sun.” They also stated that he had appeared to them as a child much like them, looking to be only fourteen years old. This detail is essential for us to dwell on for a moment as it leads us to conclude that this Angel of Peace was not trying to scare the children. Rather, he assumed the form of a child similar to them to remove any additional element of fear that would not serve his purpose.
His intention was to encourage the three shepherd children to do penance for their sins and the sins of humanity as the world around them continued to descend into chaos. Another reason the angel appeared to these children was to give them the tools and prayers necessary to properly execute the mission Our Lady was about to give them. A message of prayer, penance, and peace was one with the potential to lead humanity from the depths of despair, and it was drawing closer and closer every day.
Unlike the first two apparitions, this one included prayers, words of wisdom from the Angel, and the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in the form of a chalice and Host.
The third apparition occurred either at the end of the summer or the beginning of the fall of 1916, once again at Loca do Cabeço. And we are granted the pleasure of knowing this apparition through the testimony of Sister Lucia dos Santos, who said:
“As soon as we arrived there, we began to say the Angel’s prayer on our knees, with our faces to the ground.
‘My God, I believe, adore, hope, and love Thee....’ I do not know how often we said this prayer when we saw an unknown light shining over our heads.
We rose to see what was happening and saw the angel bearing a chalice in his left hand. Drops of blood fell into the chalice from a Host suspended over it.
Leaving the chalice and the Host suspended in the air, the angel prostrated himself beside us and said the following prayer three times:
‘Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I adore Thee profoundly and offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the earth, in reparation for the insults, sacrileges, and indifference with which He is offended. And through the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg Thee for the conversion of poor sinners.’
He rose up after this and took the chalice and the Host in his hand; he gave the Host to me and the contents of the chalice to Jacinta and Francisco to drink, saying:
‘Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, who is horribly insulted by ungrateful men. Make reparation for their crimes and console your God.’
He again prostrated himself on the ground and repeated the same prayer three more times with us. ‘Most Holy Trinity....’ Then he disappeared.”
After this vision, the children remained prostrated and repeated the angel’s prayer for a long time.
The apparitions of the angel had an “annihilating” effect on the children because he communicated something supernatural that fatigued them.
Lucia said, “It seemed to deprive us even of the use of our bodily senses for a long time.” At the same time, they felt great peace and happiness, as if their souls were immersed in God.

America Needs Fatima is a campaign to capture the heart and soul of America with the Message of Our Lady of Fatima. In 1917, Our Lady asked for prayer, penance and other measures to avoid chastisement of suffering, famines, and wars. She also promised that:
“Finally, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.”
