PART 6
SAINT JACINTA MARTO
PASSIONATE FOR THE HEART OF JESUS……
Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened and I will
give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and
humble of heart and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy and
my burden light.
Mt
1,28-30
One day, I was given
holy picture of the Heart of Jesus . I took it to Jacinta :
-Do you want this holy picture ?
She took it, looked at it attentively and remarked:
It’s so ugly! It doesn’t look like Our Lord at all. He is so
beautiful !But I wasn’t it ; it is He just the same. She always carried it with
her. At night and during her illness, she kept it under her pillow, until it
fell apart. She kissed it frequently, saying:
I Kiss the Heart, because I love it most. How I would love
to have a Heart of Mary! Don’t you have one? I ‘d love to have the 2 together……and for the maculate Heart of
Mary.
One day, Father Cruz from Lisbon came to question us. He
taught us a litany, 2 of which Jacinta made her own and never stopped repeating
ever afterwards: o my Jesus, I Love you! Sweet Heart of Mary, be my salvation!
At other times, as she gathered wildflowers, she sang a
little tune that she made up herself as he went along:
-sweet heart of Mary, be my salvation!
Immaculate Heart of Mary, convert sinners, save souls from
hell!
At other times she would also say:
I love Our Lord and Our Lady so much that I never get tired
of telling them that I love them.
JACINTA’S SECRET
SHE TRUSTED AS A CHILD
The message of Fatima is a bout trust. Jacinta trusted with the simplicity and
abandonment of children in the heart of Jesus and in the heart of his Mother.
