Sts. Jacinta and Francisco died in the 1918 Pandemic
Did you know Sts. Jacinta and Francisco died in the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic that swept through Europe. In October 1918, Jacinta told Lucia that Our Lady had appeared to her and promised to take Francisco and her to heaven soon. Both lingered for many months, insisting on walking to church to make Eucharistic devotions and prostrating themselves to pray for hours kneeling with their heads on the ground as they said the prayer that the angel had instructed them to do.
After the death of Francisco Jacinta told Lucia that our Lady came to her and asked her if she wanted to convert more poor dinners. She said yes she did. Our Lady said she would be going to a hospital in Lisbon soon where she would suffer very much and die all alone. This thought resonated in her loving heart the fact that once she left home she would never see her parents or Lucia again. This she said is what hurt her the most.
In an attempt to save her life, which she insisted was futile, Jacinta was moved to Ourém Hospital; her condition steadily worsened and, in a successful attempt to transfer her to the children's hospital in Lisbon, Queen Stephanie's Hospital she was moved first to the care of the small Orphanage of Our Lady of Miracles, in the Lisbon neighborhood of Estrela. She developed purulent pleurisy and endured an operation in which two of her ribs were removed. Because of the condition of her heart, she could not be fully anesthetized, and suffered terrible pain, which she said would help to convert many sinners.
ST. JACINTA OF FATIMA ALSO DIED ALL ALONE
100 YEARS AGO IN THE LAST PANDEMIC
100 YEARS AGO IN THE LAST PANDEMIC
On February 19, 1920, Jacinta asked the hospital chaplain who heard her confession to bring her Holy Communion and administer Extreme Unction because she was going to die "the next night". He told her that her condition was not that serious and that he would return the next day. The next day Jacinta was dead; she had died, as she had often said she would, all alone.
I aways thought Heaven was harsh on our young victim soul. She was a mere babe nine years old. To suffer the physical pains as she did and then to die without the consoling presence of her family could be viewed by some as heartless. Similar to what God asked of Abraham in sacrificing his son. Why did Jacinta have to die alone without her family and the last sacrament Viaticum?
ANOTHER PROPHETIC SIGN
One hundred years later in the unfolding of Divine Providence the reasons are more clear. St. Jacinta was also chosen to suffer for our time along with Bl. Mother Mariana of Ecuador Mystic and stigmatist (1594-1634) and Marie Julie Jaheney Breton mystic and stigmatist. (1850-1941). Each of these apparitions had a common thread. The evils of atheistic communism. The advance of secret societies such as the Masons and the ultimate Triumph of the Church through the Immaculate Heart of Mary where a time of peace will be given to mankind.
Our Lady foresaw this pandemic and warning for the people of our erea and asked if Jacinta was willing to die alone without the consolations offered by her family and the Church. In today's current pandemic scientists understand the ferocious capabilites of the transmissions of this virus and to protect others we have to isolate the sick. During the 1918 Flu pandemic that claimed the lives of Jacinta and Francisco this knowledge was not well understood.
Having
said all of this I think it is very important that we look once again
at the Fatima Message in historical context. Meditating in the light of
past approved apoaritins of our Lady. Our Lady of Good Success Message for our time! 1594-1634

BENEDICT XVI AT FATIMA
Celebrating
Mass at Fatima, on May 13th 2010 Pope Benedict XVI said the prophetic
mission of Mary's apparitions there has not ended and has special
relevance for a world still caught in a "cycle of death and terror." Benedict
XVI continued: "We would be mistaken to think that Fatima's prophetic
mission is complete. From the earliest times humanity has succeeded in
unleashing a cycle of death
and terror, but failed in bringing it to an
end. Fatima's message and mission are not over because the need for
penance and conversion in the world continues" -Benedict XVI , May 13,
2010 at Fatima
Let us meditate on the importance on the prophetic messages of Fatima place and meditate
on them in light of all the approved Apparitions in the unfolding of Divine Providence. From Our Lady if Good Success to Akita a prophetic Mystery is unfolding.
The sick of today should be encouraged by the brave witness of St. Jacinta and call upon her intercession for a cure or the acceptance of God's will for a happy death using the generous indulgences offered by the church for the salvation of the dying who are dying alone and without the consolation of the last sacraments of the church. The church has not abandoned you in union with the communion of saints you will be assisted if you accept in faith and sorrow for your sins God's will. Following the lead of St. Jacinta who prayed and suffered for all of us poor sinners.
NO ONE DIES ALONE PROJECT
An Act of Mercy for the dying
from Fr. Philip a priest from Ireland
In the meantime a priest from Ireland has spearheaded a WORK OF MERCY FOR THE DYING AND IS INVITING all to perform an acts of mercy for the dying around the world... those who are dying and have no one be with and pray for them in their last agony.An Act of Mercy for the dying
from Fr. Philip a priest from Ireland
“No One dies alone Project” inspired by Fr. Philip a priest from Ireland. Read more below.
Everyone in the Catholic World should consider performing
this act of mercy for the countless souls dying each day from COVID-19. It could be one of us or a member of ourfamily who are at hospital and we cannot be present to help them or they for us.
I hope all of you will consider adopting this daily spiritual act of Mercy for the dying during the course of this pandemic. Fr Philip said:
"If families were to pray the Chaplet of Mercy togethor then several dying persons would be spiritually adopted with the one prayer of the Chaplet. Praying the Chaplet for the dying, we will petition Jesus to enfold them in his Merciful Love in their final hours and grant them a strong experience of his consoling presence before they take their leave of this world. -Fr. Philip
No One Dies Alone Project
Earlier this evening I was reading a news report on the SkyNews website which, quoting a doctor in a hospital in Italy, had the headline: “Everyone Dies Alone”. It was a very sobering and tragically sad report, describing how, because they have to be isolated,
those suffering and slowly dying from Covid19 meet their end without the comfort and consolation of their relatives and loved ones.
The medical staff do what they can, but they are overwhelmed by the task that lies before them. When I read that headline, immediately I was stirred to begin this little project.
Inspired by a scene in the Diary of St. Faustina, where she was spiritually transported by the Lord in order to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy at the bedside of a dying man she did not know, I would like to suggest that we would each commit to praying the
Divine Mercy Chaplet each day for the days ahead to spiritually place ourselves beside one of the poor unfortunate men and women who are dying alone in hospitals all over the world because of this virus, some of whom are perhaps not well prepared
spiritually for their earthly end.
If families were to pray it then several dying persons would be spiritually adopted with the one prayer of the Chaplet.
Praying the Chaplet for the dying, we will petition Jesus to enfold them in his Merciful Love in their final hours and grant them a strong experience of his consoling presence before they take their leave of this life. This would be a great act of mercy and
love for those who are victims of this virus and who are approaching their end.
Please consider taking part in this project. There is no need to sign up to anything. It is a simple movement which, please God, will bear enormous fruit for the souls for whom we pray. I would appreciate it if you were to pass this on to others you know who might be willing to take up this spiritual work of mercy. In the final weeks of Lent it would be a good spiritual practice to incorporate into our prayer routine. Below you will find the link to the Sky News Report
Yours in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
Fr. Philip
In 1920, shortly before her death at age nine, St. Jacinta Marto reportedly discussed the Alliance of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary put with a then 12-year-old Lúcia dos Santos and said:
"When you are able to say this, (tell the secret) don't go and hide. Tell everybody that God grants us graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary; that people are to ask her for them; and that the Heart of Jesus wants the Immaculate Heart of Mary to be venerated at his side. Tell them also to pray to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for peace, since God entrusted the pesce of the world to her."
Let us humbly turn to to Our Lady and Sts. Jacinta and Francisco imploring their intercession for the dying and a cure for the Corona Virus.

I think its important tthat we place the Fatima Message and meditate on the messsge in light of approved prophetic messages of the Church. The ones mentioned as well as Guadalupe. LaSalette, Knock, Akita. The devils are trying to drown the authentic realties of the approved Marian apparitions by raising up dissenting voices that work outside the authority of the church promoting their own agendas. They offer alternate realities even using new apparitions that do not have full church approval. Fatima has been buried as no longer relevant because of these newest apparitions that do not carry full church approvals. The Fatima Message is ignored
"People will tell you Look. There He is or He is here. Do not go out or chase after them." Matthew: 24: 23
STAY WITH THE CHURCH AND THE MAGISTERIUM.
