The third part of the secret revealed at the Cova da Iria-Fatima, on July 13, 1917
I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through
his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria
and through your Most Holy
Mother and mine.
"After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of
Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in
his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though
they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with
the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right
hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out
in a loud voice: ‘Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we saw in an
immense light that is God: ‘something similar to how people appear
in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White
‘we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops,
Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the
top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a
cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father
passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with
halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the
souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of
the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was
killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him,
and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops,
Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of
different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross
there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand,
in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it
sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God."

Penance, Penance, Penance!
