unnamed man from Lapas
Suddenly a man from Lapas (a place not far from Torres Novas), who had gone there only to please his wife and who did not believe the miracle possible, cries out bathed in tears: “I see, I see the Lady!!! Look, in this direction, between those two clouds, don't you see her?” We all looked in the direction indicated but... none of us saw anything more than the clouds. Nevertheless the man, full of faith, kept saying: “Arrest me if you like, but I shall always say what I saw”!
His wife saw nothing, but she was radiant that it was her husband who had seen, for he did not believe; she believed, she did not need to see.
De subito um homem das Lapas, (logar não longe de Torres Novas) que ali tinha ido só para satisfazer a mulher, e que não acreditava na possibilidade do milagre, grita banhado em lagrimas: “Eu vejo, eu vejo a Senhora!!! Olhem, n'esta direcção entre aquellas duas nuvens, não a veem?” Todos olhámos na direcção indicada mas... nenhum de nós vio mais do que as nuvens. No entanto o homem cheio de fé dizia: “Prendam-me se quizerem, mas hei de sempre dizer o que vi”!
A mulher, não vio nada, mas estava radiante por ter sido o marido quem tinha visto, pois que, não acreditava, ella acreditava, não precisava vêr.
