Friends of the Rosary,

Today, August 19, we remember the fourth apparition in Fatima. The three child saints were arrested by the Administrator on August 13th, and our Lady's plans were delayed slightly.

On Sunday, the 19th of 1917, the Holy Virgin appeared to the visionaries in the woods of Valinhos.

"Come again to the Cova da Iria on the thirteenth of next month, my child, and continue to say the Rosary every day. In the last month, I will perform a miracle so that all may believe."

Lucia asked, "What are we to do with the offerings of money that people leave at the Cova da Iria?"

"I want you to have two ardors [litters to carry statues] made, for the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. I want you and Jacinta to carry one of them with two other girls. You will both dress in white. And then I want Francisco, with three boys helping him, to carry the other one. The boys, too, will be dressed in white. What is left over will help towards the construction of a chapel that is to be built here."

Lúcia then asked for the cure of some sick people.

"Some I will cure during the year."

Looking sadly at them, she said:

Pray, pray very much. Make sacrifices for sinners. Many souls go to hell because no one is willing to help them with a sacrifice.

Having said that, she departed as she had on the other occasions.

We pray one more day today's Holy Rosary from East Hampton, NY.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
