December 10, 1925:
'At least you console me', paraphrase
Behold, my daughter, my Heart surrounded with the thorns with which ungrateful men continually pierce it by their blasphemies (heresies?) and ingratitudes. Do you at least try to console me, and for my part I declare to you that I promise to assist at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation all those who on the first Saturday of five consecutive months shall go to confession, receive Holy Communion, say five decades of the rosary and keep me company during a quarter of an hour, meditating on the mysteries of the rasary with the intention of offering reparation to me.
On December 17th, 1927, she went before the tabernacle to ask Jesus how she could comply with what had been asked of her, that is, to say if the origin of the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary was included in the Secret that the most holy Virgin had confided to her.
Jesus made her hear very distinctly these word: "My daughter, write what they ask of you. Write also all that the most holy Virgin revealed to you in the Apparition, in which she spoke of this devotion. As for the remainder of the Secret, continue to keep silence."
What was confided on this subject in 1917, is as follows:
She asked for them to be taken to heaven, and the most holy Virgin answered: Yes I will take Jacinta and Francisco soon. But you are to stay here some time longer. Jesus wishes to make use of you to make me known and loved. He wants to establish int he world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. I promise salvation to those who embrace it, and these souls will be loved by God, like flowers placed by me to adorn His throne.
Am I to stay here all alone?, she asked sadly.
No, daughter. I shall never forsake you. My Immaculate Heart sill be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God.
