The August Apparition was unusual - it was on the 19th instead of the 13th because of the childrens’
imprisonment.
In this apparition, Mary again asked the children to
recite the Rosary every day and promised to perform a miracle in October that all may believe.
Lucia then asked Mary, “What do You want me to do with the offerings of money that the people leave at
the Cova da Iria?
Mary answered, “Have two ardors (portable stands to carry statues) made for the Feast of the “Lady of the
Rosary”. Mary then gave specific instructions for the procession, even telling the children to be dressed in white. Mary then said, “What is left over will help
towards the construction of a chapel that is to be built here.”
Lucia then asked Mary for the cure of some sick people. Mary replied, “Some I will cure during the
year.” Then looking sadly at them she said, “ Pray, pray very much, and make sacrifices for sinners; for
many souls go to hell, because there are none to sacrifice themselves and pray for them."
The Communion of Saints tells us to help each other be saved. The Immaculate
Heart of Mary is honored by our obedience to the
Commandments and living the Beatitudes. AD ALTARE DEI
