The Five First Saturdays
Mary's Great Promise at Fatima
"Behold my Heart surrounded with the thorns which ungrateful men place there-in
at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You, at least, try to
console me and tell them that 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:
- Confess and receive Communion.
- Recite five decades of the Rosary.
- And keeping me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the
fifteen mysteries of the Rosary.
- With the intention of making reparation to me."
Note: The Confession may be made in the 8 days before or after
Communion. The Rosary may be recited at any convenient time of the day, and the
fifteen minute meditation may be made at any time of the day, either on all of
the mysteries as a whole, or on one special mystery.
The First Saturday reparation is made for the five-fold blasphemies against the
Immaculate Heart of Mary.
- blasphemies against her Immaculate Conception
- blasphemies against her perpetual virginity
- blasphemies against her divine Motherhood
- blasphemies of those who instill in the hearts of children indifference,
contempt and hate for Mary
- blasphemies of those who dishonor her directly through her images
