Francisco learned of Our Lady’s request through Jacinta and Lúcia that he should pray many Rosaries, and reacted thus: “O my Lady, I will pray as many Rosaries as You wish.”
Francisco wanted to console Our Lord and then convert sinners so that they would no longer offend Him.
Sometimes, upon arriving in Fátima, he would say to Lúcia: “You go to school. I will stay here in the Church, together with the hidden Jesus.”
Francisco was not very talkative and liked to make his prayers and sacrifices completely alone.
