Opens up a new vista to annunciations of Angel to Our Lady at Fatima.
The Fatima PRAYERS are familiar and popular but this is forgotten Angelic context.
Saint Gabriel was there before, in the Annunciation, who are we to name the Angel at Fatima?
Yours..

Dear Father Donald,
Following your inspiration, I found the following article on http://www.opusangelorum.org/English/Fatimaeucharist.html
Indeed there is deep mystery revealed in this Third Visit.
Thank you for your inspiration!

The Angel of Fatima and the Eucharist - Part III - Union
With God
The Third Visit:The Eucharist & The "Most Holy Trinity"
The Blessed
Sacrament is the key to the third visit of the Angel. Once again he appeared to the children while they
were out in the hills busy tending their sheep. Still, they had found time to
say their rosary and recite the Angel's prayer. What more could he have to tell
them? He had already taught them how to pray and express their love in
sacrifice. They had been most generous in their prayers and many sacrifices.
But who can exceed God in generosity? Everything God both gives and takes from
us in this life is ordered to that perfect gift of Himself, which we first
savor in the Blessed Sacrament. So let us focus upon the Lord's invitation to
perfect union with Himself in the Eucharist through the ministry of the Angel.
When the Angel
appeared to them at the Loca do Cabeço he was "holding a chalice in his
hands, with a host above it from which some drops of blood were falling into the
Sacred vessel." The Angel left the chalice and host suspended in the air, and prostrated himself upon the ground with
the children and prayed the following prayer with them three times:
Most
Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly, and I offer
you the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present
in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges
and indifference with which He Himself is offended. And through the infinite
merits of His most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You
the conversion of poor sinners. Amen.
The Angel then rose,
and taking the host he gave it to Lucy, and to Jacinta and Francisco he gave
the contents of the chalice, saying as he did so: "Take and drink the Body
and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men. Repair their
crimes and console your God." Then he prostrated himself once more with
the children and repeated the prayer to the Most Holy Trinity three times, then
disappeared.
Just as the first
prayer, "My God I believe" summarizes the whole of the law and the
prophets in as much as it gives us in prayer form the perfect expression of the
love of God and neighbor, so does this new prayer, "Most Holy Trinity"
resume for us the complete revelation of the New Testament. This consists in
the revelation of the Most Blessed Trinity and God's plan for redemption of
mankind through the crucifixion and death of the Son of God made Man. His death
is made daily present to us anew in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and in Holy
Communion. The Blessed Mother, His and ours, is the mediatrix of all graces.
These two prayers, then, sum up the essential doctrine of the Old and the New
Testament; they are essentially biblical in content.
At Fatima God taught us to have great respect and devotion for the Eucharist. Above, the Angel of Fatima adores the Most Blessed Sacrament. He taught the children to do the same, especially before receiving Holy Communion. This lesson of adoration of the Eucharistic Jesus before Communion was recently re-affirmed by Pope Paul VI's Encyclical "The Mystery of Faith".
