<p class="quote"><strong>&laquo;DO NOT BE AFRAID! I AM THE ANGEL OF PEACE. PRAY </strong><strong>WITH</strong><strong> ME&raquo;.&nbsp;</strong><br />
First apparition of the Angel, in 1916</p>

<p class="title_brown">Loca do Cabe&ccedil;o</p>

<p class="normal_text">In the Spring and Autumn of 1916, the three little shepherds were surprised by the presence of the Angel of Peace, in this spot. With him they learned that their lives only gain full sense before God; only before God they found Peace, experienced the light that never dies away.&nbsp;<br />
On reaching them, he said:</p>

<p class="quote">&laquo;&ndash; Do not be afraid! I am the Angel of Peace. Pray with me.<br />
And kneeling on the ground, he bowed down until his forehead touched the ground and made us repeat these words three times:<br />
&ndash; 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&raquo;.</p>

<p class="normal_text">The Angel and the little shepherds kneeling down, with their forehead resting on the floor, teach me to recognize that my life is not done by my hands but only in God&rsquo;s hands I find myself exactly as I am.&nbsp;<br />
In a worshipping attitude, I pray three times with and like the little shepherds and the Angel:&nbsp;</p>

<p class="quote">&laquo;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&raquo;.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="normal_text">I start on my way, from Po&ccedil;o do Arneiro and gaze at the same valleys that the little shepherds gazed at and I pray the first and second joyful mysteries. The little shepherds were also visited by the Angel, like Mary; I also want to bring the Lord to others, like Mary.</p>
