Jacinta, the little girl who saw Our Lady of Fatima: she wanted to save as many souls as possible from Hell
Today we want to tell you the story of the little girl Jacinta Marto, the youngest of the child visionaries of Fatima. In February 1920, in the sad corridors of a Lisbon orphanage, the voice of a 10-year-old girl resounded, asking the nun to be allowed to see a priest before she died.
Sister Maria of the Purification, taking seriously the words of the little girl, who had entered the institution a month earlier, hurried to call him. The confessor, seeing the little girl, decided to hear her confession but did not want to give her theEucharist.
In the institute everyone knew the severe conditions in which the child was pouring, but no one would have foreseen a death so close. The priest, at the end of her confession made her to go away, telling her that he would give her the Eucharist the next day. The little girl in a weak voice told him that the the next day she would be dead, but the priest left the room pretending not to have heard.
The little girl was left alone in the silent room, disappointed at not having received the one thing she really wanted, the gesture that would make her feel more close to God.
Who was Jacinta Marto
The little girl locked up in an orphanage away from everyone and left to die was little Jacinta Marto, one of the three children who saw the Virgin Mary. Jacinta was the last of eight children. She had a cheerful and joyful character with a big heart.
The little girl approached the Virgin Mary from the second appearance, when still very small, she discovered the immense love of Immaculate Heart of Mary. Before that heart, games and childish activities lost their importance and for Jacinta every instant became useful for kneeling and praying.
During the third appearance, Our Lady revealed to the 3 children the terrifying vision of the Demon Realm and of the souls that were consumed between terrible suffering. Jiacinta was shocked by that image, so much so that she began to devote herself to salvation of souls in hellalways praying to God to have mercy on them.
