Lúcia said, and the father heard it: “What I wanted – oh! Our Lady!”, and asked for the cure and conversion of various people, the father not remembering their names.

Lúcia then added: “she says that not all of them will get better, because some are wicked”. She further declared that the Lady had said that they should all pray the rosary* and that the war would soon end. The children were then kneeling; Lúcia got up quickly, her dress billowing out like a balloon, and said, pointing: “Look over there, if you want to see her” – and immediately added: “You're already too late”. She was facing almost to the west and turned towards the east to point to the Lady, who was withdrawing.

Português (original)

A Lúcia disse, o que o pai ouviu: “Eu o que queria – ai! Nossa Senhora!”, e pediu a cura e a conversão de diversas pessoas, não se recordando o pai o nome delas.

A Lúcia depois acrescentou: “diz que nem todas melhoram, porque algumas são más”. Declarou ainda que a Senhora tinha dito que rezassem todos o terço e que a guerra em breve ia acabar. Estavam então as crianças de joelhos, a Lúcia levantou-se rapidamente, ficando o vestido em balão, e disse apontando: “Olhem para acolá, se a querem ver” – e acrescentou logo: “Já não vão a tempo”. Ela estava voltada quase ao poente e voltou-se para o nascente a indicar a Senhora que se retirava.
