First Saturdays

Fatima
On December 10, 1925 Sister Lucia had a vision wherein the Blessed Mother appeared to her. There was a Boy suspended on a luminous cloud. The Virgin mary hand rested on the cloud and in her other hand was a heart surrounded by thorns.

The Boy said to Sister Lucia
"Have pity on the Heart of your Most Holy Mother which is covered with thorns with which ingrate men pierce it at every moment with no one to make an act of reparation to pull them out."
The Virgin Mary said to Sister Lucia
"See, my daughter, my Heart surrounded with thorns with which ingrates pierce me at every moment with blasphemies and ingratitude. You, at least, make sure to console me and say that all those who for five months, on the first Saturday:
- go to confession,
- receive Communion,
- say five decades of the Rosary and
- keep me company for 15 minutes meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, with the purpose of making reparation to me, I promise to

- assist them at the hour of death with all the graces necessary for the salvation of their souls."
Our Lady of Fatima's request is that on the First Saturday of five consecutive months,

- we go to Confession and confess our sins;
- we attend Mass and receive Holy Communion;
- pray 5 decades of the Holy Rosary
- meditate during 15 minutes on the mysteries of the Holy Rosary
- and we do so for the purpose of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the sins of men.
