The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima Page #5

the lady said

she'd come back

to the cova.

Please stay

and go with us.

No lady appeared to you,

you foolish child.

Don't tell me you tadpoles

are going to miss

the Feast of Saint Anthony

today.

Have you forgotten? There'll be

a band and fireworks.

And dancing,

and the blessed bread

for the poor

and the children.

We told our lady

we'd meet her.

We can't break

our word.

Look out then,

here we go.

Goodbye.

Adeus.

Bye, Mama. Bye, Papa.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Bye, Maria Rosa.

Goodbye.

If you children go

to the cova today,

you'll go without Lcia.

She's going with us

to Saint Anthony's Feast.

Psst. Psst.

I can't help it.

What will we say

to the lady?

Tell her my mother

wouldn't let me come.

MARIA ROSA:

Lcia?

Blow your nose and stop crying.

You're not going to the cova.

[SOBBING]

But, Mama, I promised.

Stop it, I tell you.

Senhor. We're from Carrascos,

senhor.

Can you tell us

where we'll find the field

in which the children

saw the Blessed Virgin?

They heard about it

as far as Carrascos?

And farther, senhor.

Also that the Holy Mother

will appear again today.

If you will direct us

to the field.

Oh, the cova is--

There's no such field.

No vision either.

Don't your children

dream in Carrascos?

Go home.

Or stay for

Saint Anthony's Feast,

and you'll have something

for your crazy journey.

Come on, Antnio,

we'll be late.

You see what your lies

have started.

[FESTIVE DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

[CROWD CHEERING AND CLAPPING]

Here, here,

you can't eat that.

But I am eating it.

That's Saint Anthony's bread,

and Father Ferreira

hasn't blessed it yet.

Is that bad?

Could be.

Then let him bless me,

because it's right in here.

[ORGAN PLAYING SOLEMN MELODY]

Well, Senhora Carreira,

glad to see you are well again,

able to attend to your duties.

We've missed you.

Thank you, Father.

I'm not

completely well yet.

Should you be here then?

I couldn't miss

Saint Anthony's Feast Day.

Besides, I'm taking

my crippled son to the cova.

I'm sure Our Lady

will be there again today.

You believe that story?

Don't you, Father?

I cannot accept

the unsupported testimony

of three imaginative children.

And if word of this

should reach the authorities,

our church will be in danger.

Don't forget that,

senhora.

[CHILDREN SINGING

GRACEFULLY]

[SPEAKING IN LATIN]

[SPEAKING IN LATIN]

Amen.

There, I told you we'd be late.

Father Ferreira has blessed

the bread.

Go join your Communion class

and try to behave as they do.

Remember, I'm keeping an eye

on you.

Here comes the little saint

who saw the Virgin.

[LAUGHTER]

What's the matter?

Was the vision called off

for today?

MAN:

Her drunken father
