First Saturday Devotion
First Saturday[1]
In December of 1925, Our Lady appeared to Sister
Lucia, giving her the following guaranty of salvation for those who complete
the First Five Saturdays Devotion:
“I
promise to assist them at the hour of death with all the graces necessary for
the salvation of their souls."
Why
Five Saturdays?
The five first Saturdays correspond to the five kinds of
offenses and blasphemies committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary:
1) Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception
2) Blasphemies against her virginity
3) Blasphemies against her divine maternity, at the same
time the refusal to accept her as the Mother of all men
4) Instilling indifference, scorn and even hatred
towards this Immaculate Mother in the hearts of children
5) Direct insults against Her sacred images
How
to complete the Five First Saturdays Devotion:
On the first Saturday of five consecutive months:
1. Go to confession;
2. Receive Holy Communion;
3. Say five decades of the Rosary;
4. Keep Our Lady company for 15 minutes, meditating on the
mysteries of the Rosary;
5. Have the intention of making reparation to Our Lady for the
offenses listed above.
