Little Jacinta Marto died just shy of her 10th birthday on February 20, 1920, from tuberculosis and bronchial pneumonia. She died alone in a hospital in Lisbon as Our Lady foretold, embracing all her sufferings for the salvation of souls.

Jacinta’s life was a perpetual sacrifice and immolation from the time she first beheld the Blessed Mother until her death. She was so overcome by the terrible vision of Hell during the July apparition and her concern for poor sinners in danger of the perpetual fires prompted her to seek out all possible suffering on their behalf.

The First Saturday Communions of Reparation were requested by Our Lady of Fatima for the purpose of saving souls in danger of Hell and to obtain the conversion of Russia and peace in the world. Here are some of Jacinta’s recorded sayings that are worthy of reflection:

One day Lucia asked her why she looked so sad: “I am thinking of Hell and unfortunate sinners. How sorry I am for the souls that go there…think of it, alive, burning like wood in a fire. Lucy, why doesn’t Our Blessed Lady show Hell to sinners? If they could but see it they would never commit any more sins and would never go there.”

After Francisco had died, she was speaking to Lucia about her having to remain on earth: “I am going to Heaven, but you are to remain here. If Our Lady allows you, tell everybody what Hell is really like so that they will never commit sin again. So many people falling into Hell, so many people…”

When she was too weak to attend daily Mass: “That doesn’t matter. I want to go to make up for those sinners who will not go even on Sundays. Do you know, Lucia, our dear Lord is so sad and Our Lady told us He is already too greatly offended and we must not offend him anymore, but nobody listens and they just go on committing the same sins.”
