Blessed Jacinta Marto of Fatima
Blessed Jacinta Marto of Fatima
by Msgr. Joseph A. Cirrincione
"And taking the hand of the little girl, he said to her, 'Talitha khoum,' which interpreted means, 'Little girl (I say to thee) arise.'"—Mark 5:41
Jacinta Marto was a happy-go-lucky little girl who loved to play; but along with her brother Francisco and her cousin Lucia dos Santos, she experienced the monumental apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima—proving that even an illiterate shepherd girl can become a pivotal figure in world history, as well as a great saint. And indeed Jacinta did become a saint, for our times and for all.
Excerpted from the letters and memoirs of Sr. Lucia dos Santos contained in Fatima in Lucia's Own Words, Blessed Jacinta Marto of Fatima describes the life of this little girl whose visions, along with her brother and cousin, radically changed the world. Jacinta was the youngest of the three shepherd children, aged seven at the time of the apparitions. She loved to dance and play, and everyone enjoyed her sweet affect. But upon experiencing the visions of Our Lady and her requests for penance, and especially after the vision of Hell, Jacinta took to heart the message of mortification and conversion. More than her brother and Lucia, she persisted in physical penances and mortifications, like giving up lunches and not drinking water, for the sake of sinners. Along with Francisco and Lucia, she suffered at the hands of the local Freemasonic authorities. After the Miracle of the Sun, many requested her intercession, and she complied willingly.
Finally, in 1918, she and Francisco contracted the Spanish flu. Francisco died first, while Jacinta was taken to two hospitals (as Our Lady had told her) to suffer for souls. When she predicted she would die the next day, the hospital chaplain did not believe her, and so he did not give her the las Sacraments. But she died as predicted; in1935 she was found incorrupt. Pope Francis canonized her in 2017, a hundred years after the first apparition of Our Lady. Let your children learn the lesson of this humble saint, the Church's absolute youngest non-martyr—and learn yourself just what it means to become like a child to enter the Kingdom of God.
Saint Jacinta Marto, pray for us!

The Shepherds of Fatima
The Shepherds of Fatima
by Fr John De Marchi
In Heaven, where they know what is really important, they marvel that we fail to see that our Lady's coming to Fatima is the most tremendous event of the 20th century. Our Lady's message for the whole world was entrusted to three children: children, then, have the right to hear all about it, and are disposed to understand what our Lady wants and to cooperate with her requests. This book is for them.

Our Lady Came to Fatima
Our Lady Came to Fatima
by Ruth Fox Hume
Who would have thought that the Blessed Mother would choose to come to Fatima, that remote farming village on a rocky slope in Portugal? No one was more surprised than Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco, the little shepherds to whom she appeared in 1917.
In this 27th volume of the acclaimed Vision Books series for youth, readers will be enthralled by the story of the village and its people, of the scornful neighbours and the puzzled parents. Above all, it is a warm story of three little ones who insisted that Our Lady had indeed come to Fatima, and from whose faith grew one of the greatest spiritual movements of our time. Illustrated.

Jacinta
Jacinta
The Flower of Fatima
by Cardinal Humberto S. Medeiros
This book made Our Lady of Fatima known to the world! Written shortly after the apparitions, the account here relies on the living memory of eyewitnesses and on the words of Lucia herself, who had been specifically interviewed for this book. Truly, this is a moving firsthand account of the life of the youngest saint of Fatima--and one the newest saints of the Church--Jacinta Marto. Jacinta, newly canonized in March 2017, is unique among the seers of Fatima in her ready, childlike enthusiasm to fulfill Mary's request, that they love God and offer reparation for sin. From then, Jacinta's life was consumed by an atoning love which made sacrifices of the biggest and the smallest things she experienced. Despite much persecution and suffering at the hands of both strangers and family, this little girl overcame her fears and attachments and became a saint, offering her life completely for love of Jesus and Mary. Told delightfully against the charming backdrop of the peaceful, natural beauty of Fatima, this is the intimate story of how the young Jacinta overcame her childish selfishness to become one of the most selfless saints of our day. It is a testimony to the power of her intercession, for the voice of the littlest, most innocent, and most fiercely loving saints of God has swayed him, time and again, to heal bodily ills and touch the most hardened of sinners.
