Today we honor and remember two of the young visionaries of Our Lady of Fatima from Portugal. I chose them today since I will be in Fatima in a few months before World Youth Day.
Blessed Jacinta Marto and Blessed Francisco Marto received visions of Our Lady in 1917. Jacinta was born on March 11, 1910 and died on February 20, 1920 in Lisbon. Francisco was born on June 11, 1908 and died on April 4, 1919. They were beatified on May 13, 2000.
Jacinta is patron of prisoners, sick people, and bodily ills.
