Now that the world is at the edge of the abyss, it is more important
than ever to wield the Power
of Prayer. No one can stop what awaits humanity, BUT, its intensity
may be greatly reduced through prayers and acts of reparation.
INTRODUCTION
/ BACKGROUND / DETAILS
The observance of the first Saturday of five consecutive months in
honor of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is intended to make reparation
for the offenses, knowingly or unknowingly, committed against Her Most
Immaculate Heart.
The request for this devotion was revealed by Our Lady of the Rosary to
Bl. Francisco, Bl. Jacinta and Lucia, to whom she appeared at Fátima,
Portugal, in 1917. On June 13,1917, Our Lady clearly said to Lucia:
Jesus
wishes to make use of you to make me known and loved. He wants to
establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. (1)
Our Lady repeated this in the July 13th apparition when, after the
vision of Hell that was granted to the three little shepherds, She said:
You
have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God
wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If
what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be
peace.
She wishes that, as we endure the inconveniences, suffering and heart
aches of our daily life, we offer them up accompanying them by the
following praying:
O my
Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of sinners,
and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart
of Mary.
The First
Saturday Devotions
Regarding the First Saturday devotions, which are efficacious in
honoring and making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, She
instructed us thus:
I promise to help at the hour of death,
with the graces needed for salvation, whoever on the First Saturday of
five consecutive months shall:
1.
Confess and Receive Holy Communion.
2. Recite five decades of the Holy
Rosary.
3. Keep me company for fifteen
minutes while meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary, with
the intention of making reparation to me.
She clarified to Sr. Lucia at a later time that the Sacrament of
Reconciliation could take place up to eight days before the Saturday in
question as long as the soul remained in the Sate of Grace for the
Communion with God.
Brothers and sisters, it is never
too late to start! (2)
