Jacinta exclaimed that they would have to make many sacrifices for the souls that were in hell and blessed Our Lady, as well as her promise to take them to Heaven.
Jacinta expressed several times that she would like to see the Holy Father.
Jacinta asked Lúcia to tell the Administration in Ourém, in case they wanted to kill her, that they were like her and also wanted to die.
She wished her parents had visited her when she was in prison in Ourém.
Francisco and Jacinta’s mother handed over the task of shepherding to her son João, thus going after the two younger children and replacing them, whenever someone appeared to talk to them, was no longer necessary.
It was a painful decision for Jacinta because she didn’t want to talk to everyone who sought her out; she preferred to stay with Lúcia all day.
At school, during recess, Jacinta liked to visit the Blessed Sacrament, but when she entered the Church, a number of people would appear to question her.
Jacinta wished to spend a lot of time alone with the hidden Jesus, but it was never possible because the people who approached them wouldn’t allow it. They would divert their attention to their needs, afflictions and personal problems. Jacinta reacted with pity and sometimes exclaimed: “We have to pray and offer sacrifices to Our Lord so that He may convert and save him from hell, poor fellow!”
Jacinta tried to avoid the people who sought them out and did so whenever possible.
When the Priest Cruz visited the shepherd children to question them, he taught Jacinta and Lúcia a litany of ejaculatory prayers. Jacinta chose these two ejaculatory prayers, which she frequently repeated: “O my Jesus, I love you” and “Sweet Heart of Mary, be my salvation.”
Jacinta wished to visit Francisco, she expressed this interest on several occasions, but she never went to visit him.
Jacinta very much wanted Lúcia to go with her to the hospital, but she understood that this would not be possible and added: “Perhaps the hospital is a very dark house, where you can’t see anything; and I am there suffering alone! But it doesn’t matter, I suffer for the love of Our Lord, to repair the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the conversion of sinners and for the Holy Father.”
When the time came for Francisco to leave for Heaven, Jacinta asked him to tell Our Lord and Our Lady that she missed them very much and that she would suffer everything They wanted for the conversion of sinners and for the reparation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
When Jacinta was at the hospital, she expressed interest in seeing Lúcia.
On the next visit, despite the numerous sacrifices, her mother took Lúcia to the hospital. Jacinta was very happy with her visit.
When Jacinta was about to go to the hospital in Lisbon, she asked Lúcia to pray a lot for her to console her, because she would not see her again, because she would not visit her and because she would die alone.
Jacinta said that before dying she would like to receive the hidden Jesus. Once in Heaven, it was her desire to love Jesus very much, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to pray a lot for Lúcia, for sinners, for the Holy Father, for her parents, for her siblings and for all the people who asked Our Lady through her intercession.
Our Lady appeared to Jacinta when she was already in the hospital, telling her the day and hour she would die.
Jacinta, in a message to Lúcia, recommended that she be very good.
The vision of hell horrified her so much that she considered all penances and mortifications to be almost worthless in freeing some souls from hell.
Jacinta was motivated to practice mortification and penance despite being only six years old.
The only known source of this motivation, according to Lúcia, is that God granted Jacinta a special grace through the Immaculate Heart of Mary and also because she acquired knowledge about hell through a vision she had during one of the apparitions.
She would often say, thoughtfully:
“Hell! Hell! What a pity I feel for the souls that go to hell! And the people there alive, burning like firewood in the fire!” and then she would pray the prayer that Our Lady had taught her:
O my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fire of hell; lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are most in need.
Jacinta liked Our Lady to show hell to sinners so that they would stop sinning, and she asked Lúcia to make this request to Our Lady.
Several times, Jacinta mentioned, after a period of reflection, that many souls were going to hell, she said:
“So many people falling into hell, so many people in hell!”
In the Lisbon hospital, Jacinta mentioned that the class of sins that most offended God were sins of the flesh.
Jacinta had a vision of the Holy Father:
“I saw the Holy Father in a very large house, kneeling before a table, with his hands on his face, crying.
Outside the house there were many people and some were throwing stones at him, others were cursing him and saying many ugly words to him.”
Jacinta had a second vision of the Holy Father:
“Don’t you see so many roads, so many paths and fields full of people, crying from hunger, and there is nothing to eat? And the Holy Father in a Church, before the Immaculate Heart of Mary, praying? And so many people praying with Him?”
Jacinta had a vision of the war: “So many people will die! And almost all will go to hell! Many houses will be destroyed and many priests killed.”
Jacinta thought about the war that was to come: “In this war that is to come, so many people will die and go to hell. What a pity! If they stopped offending God, neither the war would come, nor would they go to hell!”
While hospitalized, Jacinta repeatedly expressed her desire to receive the hidden Jesus. She said it this way once, and on another occasion, shortly before going to the hospital, she said she would like to receive the hidden Jesus in the Church and added that if the Angel of Peace came to the hospital to bring her Holy Communion, she would be very happy.
On one occasion after Mass, Jacinta mentioned that she didn’t know what it was like, but she felt Our Lord inside her and understood what He was saying to her even though she couldn’t see or hear Him.
On another similar occasion, she mentioned that Our Lord was sad because we did not heed Our Lady’s request when she asked not to offend Him anymore, as He was already very offended, and no one paid attention, they continued committing the same sins.
Jacinta reprimanded anyone who, in her presence, said or did something displeasing to God. She would tell them: “Don’t do that, you offend God Our Lord; And He is already so offended!”
Other examples of Jacinta’s reaction were these:
“Don’t say that, it offends God Our Lord.”
“Don’t let your little children commit sins, they could go to hell.”
“Tell them not to do that, it’s a sin; that they offend God Our Lord and then they can condemn themselves.”
When the day came for Jacinta to leave for the Lisbon hospital, during the farewell, Lúcia felt heartbroken. Jacinta asked her to pray a lot for her until she went to Heaven, then she would pray a lot for her.
She also asked her not to tell the secret to anyone even if they tried to kill her and to love Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary very much and make many sacrifices for sinners.
