Lúcia de Jesus
Her two daughters, Maria dos Anjos and Carolina, questioned Lúcia about the events of the previous day and went home and said that their sister really had seen something. Finally, the mother too asked her what she had seen. She said that she saw a very beautiful little woman; that the dress she wore was all white, that to the question – “where she was from” – she had pointed to Heaven saying she was from there, and that, when she asked her whether Francisco, Jacinta and she, Lúcia, would not go to Heaven, the apparition answered yes. Her mother, on hearing these words, exclaimed: “How lucky you are!” The Lady said that she wanted them to go there six months running and that at the end she would say what she wanted.
As duas filhas, Maria dos Anjos e Carolina, interrogaram a Lúcia sobre os acontecimentos da véspera e foram para casa e disseram que realmente a irmã tinha visto alguma coisa. Por fim, a mãe perguntou-lhe também o que vira. Ela disse que via uma mulherzinha muito bonita; que o vestido que trazia era todo branco, que à pergunta” – “de onde era” – apontara para o Céu dizendo que era de lá, e que tendo-lhe perguntado se não iam para o Céu o Francisco, a Jacinta e ela Lúcia, a aparição respondeu que sim. A Mãe, ao ouvir estas palavras exclamou: “Que felizes que vocês são!”. Disse a Senhora que queria que fossem lá seis meses a fio e que por fim diria o que queria.
