Angel of Peace to the three children of Fatima:
"My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You."

Fact: The Angel of Fatima brought Communion to the three children and taught them this prayer of Adoration, in 1916, before Our Lady came to visit them. With his supernatural being, he removed the Communion Hosts from the tabernacle.
Teaching moment: Not even an angel can confect the Blessed Sacrament. Only an imperfect human, a validly ordained priest, in persona Christi, with the authority handed down from Jesus to the Apostles, through the unbroken line of Apostolic Succession of Popes and Bishops, has the power, to perform the act of transubstantiation.
Pope St. Paul VI on transubstantiation: "After the Sacrifice of the Mass, the Blessed Sacrament in the Tabernacle remains the living heart of Christ in each of our Churches. It is our very sweet duty and honor to adore the Blessed Host!" - Fr. Joseph, EWTN homily, Sat., May 29, memorial St. Paul VI, Pope

Michael the Archangel as the Guardian Angel of Portugal among the people and country for centuries, in 1504 by petition of King Manuel I of Portugal to Pope Julius II a special Feast to the Guardian Angel of Portugal was established.
The Fatima Apparitions
In the year of 1916, the three children Lucia dos Santos and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto, who later witnessed the vision of The Blessed Virgin Mary, were visited by an Angel three times whilst out tending their sheep.
"While coming closer to us, the Angel said: ‘Do not fear! I am the Angel of Peace. Pray with me.’ And kneeling on the earth, he bent his forehead to the ground. Prompted by a supernatural movement, we imitated him and repeated the words which we heard him pronounce: ‘My God, I believe in Thee, I adore Thee, I hope in Thee and I love Thee. I ask pardon for all those who do not believe in Thee, do not adore Thee, do not hope in Thee and do not love Thee.
“Having repeated that prayer three times, he got up again and said to us: ‘Pray in this way. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications.’ And he disappeared.”
The Angel of Peace had come to speak to the children, to infuse them with this extraordinary grace through which they were penetrated with the Divine Presence, and to demonstrate to them the attitude, posture and fervor with which to pray to God. Interestingly, during the apparition Francisco could not hear the words of the Angel, and had to be told what was said afterward; this would be the case for all of the other apparitions as well. After some time the three little shepherds recovered their physical strength and playfulness.
Later that year in the autumn, the third and last vision occurred when the children took their sheep to the same place where the first apparition took place. There in the blessed place of the Cabeço, they were reciting the prayer the Angel had taught them when above them an unknown light appeared. Lucia relates, “We got up again to see what was happening, and we saw the Angel again, who had in his left hand a Chalice over which was suspended a Host, from which some drops of Blood fell into the Chalice.”
Leaving the Chalice and the Host suspended in the air, he prostrated himself down to the earth near the children and repeated a prayer three times. Then, getting up, the Angel took the Chalice and Host. He gave Lucia the Sacred Host on the tongue. Then while giving the Precious Blood from the Chalice to Francisco and Jacinta, he said:
“Eat and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men. Make reparation for their crimes and console your God.” Then, prostrating himself on the ground he repeated with the children three times the same prayer: Most Holy Trinity, etc., and disappeared.
This final apparition of the Angel was clearly the summit of the three, as the children were graced to see the Precious Blood of Our Lord fall from the Sacred Host into the Chalice, and then receive Holy Communion from the hands of the Angel.
The appearance of the Angel of Peace to the three children was a preparation for the signal grace that was about to be bestowed upon them: the appearance of the Queen of Heaven, the Blessed Virgin Mary. The apparitions of the Angel prepared them for seeing the Mother of God, through the transforming Divine graces the Angel showered on them, and his instructions about prayer, sacrifice and offerings. Through his apparitions to Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta, the Angel of Peace came to ready them for the decisive roles they were each to play in this very important event of the Twentieth Century, the appearance of Our Lady at Fatima.
