Guardian Angel of Portugal, Angel of Peace


We wondered, after restoring memories of the account of Angel at Fatima, who is the name?
In fact the Angel identified himself to the children of "Loca do Cabeço" in the three apparitions preparing the way for Our Lady of Fatima.
Below, we find the children illustrations of the angelic event. It may be more apt from YouTune video.
I am the Angel of Peace
Apparitions of the angel of Portugal to the children of Fatima  http://www.lovecrucified.com/mary/fatima_angel.html

First Apparition
In the spring of 1916, three shepherd children, LUCIA DOS SANTOS, aged ten, JACINTA MARTO, aged seven, and her brother FRANCISCO MARTO, aged nine, saw an Angel while they were tending their family’s flock of sheep near their home, at a place called "Loca do Cabeço". After having lunch and saying their prayers, the three little children saw a light above the trees that stretched away towards the east, whiter than snow, in the form of a young man, transparent, and brighter than crystal pierced by the rays of the sun. The Angel identified himself as the Angel of Peace and told the children to pray to Jesus and Mary, in saying the following words: "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"
Second Apparition
The second apparition of the Angel took place at the height of summer. The three little Shepherds spend the siesta hours in the shade of the trees when, suddenly, the same Angel appeared again with the message that prayer and sacrifice would bring peace to their country: "Pray! Pray very much! The Hearts of Jesus and Mary have designs of mercy on you. Offer prayers and sacrifices constantly to the Most High. Make of everything you can a sacrifice, and offer it to God as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication for the conversion of sinners. You will thus draw down peace upon your country. I am its Angel Guardian, the Angel of Portugal. Above all, accept and bear with submission, the suffering which the Lord will send you". These words impressed deeply the three children. They were like a light which made them understand who God is, his love, the value of sacrifice and the grace of conversion to sinners. From then on, Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco began to offer to the Lord all that mortified them.
Third Apparition
The third apparition of the Angel must have been in October or in the end of September. The three little Shepherds were praying the Rosary when the Angel appeared, holding a chalice in his hands, with a Host above it from which some drops of Blood were falling into the sacred vessel. Leaving the Chalice and the Host suspended in the air, the Angel prostrated himself on the ground and repeated three times the following prayer: "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 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". Then, rising, he once more took the chalice and the Host in his hands. He gave the Host to Lucia, and to Jacinta and Francisco he gave the Contents of the chalice to drink, 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". Once again, he prostrated himself on the ground and repeated with the little Shepherds three times more the same prayer "Most Holy Trinity…". Then he disappeared.


This clip is about the Angel of Peace who appeared to the 
children three times in 1916 (before Our Lady appeared 
the following year in Fatima)

PORTUGAL, 1916    The Angel of Peace, Fatima
                             
The Angel of Peace appeared three times to the little shepherds of Fatima to prepare them for the future apparitions of the Virgin Mary and to lift them up with Holy Communion to the supernatural state. During the third apparition, the Angel gave Holy Communion to Lucia with a Host from which fell some drops of the Precious Blood which were gathered in the chalice.
Francisco and Jacinta, who had not yet made their First Communion, were instead given the contents of the chalice in its place. In this apparition the Angel said to them: “Take and drink he Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, which has suffered such horrible outrages from ungrateful men. Make reparation for their crimes and so give consolation to your God.”

W. keeps us turning the wheels of the Angels.
As you mentioned the Eucharist in the Mass brings to fore centre in the Roman Canon.
Something lovely to add in the Fatima Network.
"In humble prayer we ask you, almighty God: 
command that these gifts be borne
by the hands of your holy Angel
to your altar on high
in the sight of your divine majesty, 
so that all of us, who through the participation at the altar
receive the most holy Body and Blood of your Son
may be filled with every grace and heavenly blessing.
(Through Christ our Lord. Amen)"

Tradition identifies Michael as the Angel in the First Eucharist Prayer.

"Pray a great deal for the Holy Father" and "In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph. Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me and she will be converted. A period of peace will be granted to the world" -- Our Lady of Fatima, 1917.
