1976. Cover as shown. Sister Lucia recounts her experience of the apparition of the Virgin Mary in 1917 near Fatima, along with her cousins Jacinta and Francisco Marto.
“‘Tell the crickets and the frogs to keep quiet! I have such a terrible headache.’ Then [St.] Francisco asked her [St. Jacinta]: ‘Don’t you want to suffer this for sinners?’ The poor child, clasping her head between her two little hands, replied: ‘Yes, I do. Let them sing!’” (p. 48). It was heartwarming to learn the little tales of how purity and vigilance of the heart was so evident in these children in their actions, amidst the many persecutions they faced.
