I had sought and obtained permission from my superior and spiritual director to make a Holy Hour from eleven PM until midnight every Thursday and Friday night. While I was alone one night, I knelt near the altar rail in the middle of the Chapel, and then prostrate, I prayed the Angel's prayers. (Jacinta and Francisco were in heaven ten years at this date.) Feeling tired, I then stood up and continued to say the prayers with my arms in the form of the Cross. The only light was that of the sanctuary lamp. Suddenly, the whole chapel was illuminated by a supernatural light, and above the altar appeared a cross of light reaching to the ceiling. In a brighter light on the upper part of the cross, could be seen the face of a man and his body as far as the waist. Upon his breast was a dove of light. Nailed to the cross was the body of another man. A little below the waist, I could see a chalice and a large host suspended in the air, on which drops of blood were falling from the face of Jesus Crucified and from the wound in His side. These drops ran down on the Host and fell in the Chalice. Beneath the right arm of the cross was Our Lady and in her hand was her Immaculate Heart. It was Our Lady of Fatima with her Immaculate Heart in her left hand, without sword or roses, but with a crown of thorns and flames, the Rosary in her right hand. Under the left arm of the Cross, were large letters, as if the crystal clear water ran down upon the altar forming the words: "Grace and Mercy'. I understood that it was the Mystery of the Most Holy Trinity which was shown to me, and I received light about this mystery which I am not permitted to reveal.
