Antonio Ribeiro, of the hamlet of Moita, parish of Fatima, aged 53.
Antonio Ribeiro, do lugar da Moita, freguesia da Fatima, de 53 annos de edade.
“On 13 July I was near the children. As soon as they arrived, they knelt down and began to say the rosary. When they had finished saying it, Lucia said: “let all who can kneel down”. Then I heard her ask some questions. Among other things she said: “A person in Pedrogam asks the Lady to cure her or take her to Heaven”. She also asked for the conversion of a family from Athouguia and of another from Fatima. Finally I heard her say these words: “The Lady said that she would work a miracle so that all the people will believe” .
“No dia 13 de julho estive proximo das creanças. Logo que chegaram, ajoelharam-se e começaram a rezar o terço. Quando acabaram de o rezar, a Lucia disse: “ajoelhe quem puder”. Em seguida ouvi-lhe fazer algumas perguntas. Entre outras cousas disse: “Uma creatura no Pedrogam pede á Senhora que a cure ou a leve para o Ceu”. Pediu tambem a conversão de uma familia de Athouguia e de outra da Fatima. Por ultimo ouvi-lhe estas palavras: “A Senhora disse que havia de fazer um milagre com que todo o povo acredite” .
