During this time Lucia and her cousins tended sheep in back of Lucy's house, near the well. It was here that the Angel came to them a second time. It was the lunch hour. All the sheep had been put away to protect them from the hot sun. The children were sitting under some trees near the well. The angel did not make an entrance the way he had the first time. One moment, they were alone; the next, he was there. His manner was one of impatience."What are you doing?" he said. "Pray! Pray! The hearts of Jesus and Mary have merciful designs for you. Offer your prayers and sacrifices to the Most High."Lucy asked him "How are we to make sacrifices?"The Angel responded "In every way you can, offer a sacrifice to the Lord, in reparation for the sins by which He is offended and in supplication for sinners. Thus you will bring peace to our country. I am its Guardian Angel, the Angel of Portugal.

What many people dont realize, or choose not to believe before they take that walk down the aisle, is that marriage is hard work. Unfortunately love, on its own, doesnt make a marriage last. Here, are some reasons why, at times, marriage can seem so hard: We take things for granted: When we are young, we think we are invincible, and that things will be different for us. You may know lots of older couples who have gotten divorced, but you think that your love is stronger than theirs, and that divorce could never happen to you. We dont understand the vows we make: Even though people recite their vows during the marriage ceremony, they are not really absorbing what they mean. We take our vows to mean right now, when really, they should mean forever. We dont anticipate change: Change is unavoidable in a couple. You will change, your partner will change, and so will your situation. As you grow and you establish your career or become more financially stable, your priorities will shift as well.
