Did Our Lady Predict, in 1920, the Constant Persecution and Final Demise of Sister Lucy of Fatima? It appears so. Dr. Chojnowski: Here are a basic chronological description of the life of Lucy dos Santos up until her sudden disappearance sometimes between 1957 and 1967. I would like to put special emphasis --- as I did with my bolding of the text and capitalization --- on the Prophecy that Our Lady made to Jacinta immediately before her death concerning her cousin Lucy. For all of the below, we follow the account given in the excellent text by Mark Fellows, Fatima in Twilight (Niagra Falls, Ontario: Marmion Publications, 2003). The Life of Lucia dos Santos, Seer of Fatima Life before and during the Apparition, both of the Angel and of the Mother of God Lucia dos Santos, born the sixth and last child of Antonio and Maria dos Santos. She came into the world on March 22, 1907. Her family and that of her 1 st cousins Jacinta and Franscisco Marto lived in a little
Tradition In Action posted a letter a few years ago which conjectured that Sister Lucy II may have been a relative of the real Sister Lucy. The letter showed a photo of one of SIster Lucy's aunts. The aunt did have a facial resemblance to the faux Sister Lucy, as I recall. The aunt was not accused of being the imposter, but her picture was shown to demonstrate that other family members might share similar features. I though this was an intriguing hypothesis, since it would also explain how SIster Lucy II could persist in such a monumental deception for decades. If she were indeed a relative of the real Sister Lucy, perhaps a cousin or niece, then she may have felt obligated to continue the charade to preserve the reputation of her family as well as her renowned relative. This hypothesis could also explain how family members could visit the imposter Sister Lucy in later years and think she was the real Sister Lucy, as she would no doubt have intimate knowledge of the family and would be able to discuss these matters with the visitors.
