First Saturday Devotion 💕

~ ғɪʀsᴛ sᴀᴛᴜʀᴅᴀʏ ᴅᴇᴠᴏᴛɪᴏɴ ~

“Look, My daughter, at My Heart, surrounded with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce Me at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. Do you, at least, try to console Me and announce in My name that I promise to assist at the moment of death, with all the graces necessary for salvation, all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months shall confess, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep Me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to Me.”

(Revelation of Our Lady of Fatima to Sr. Lucia - from Fatima.org)

The Five First Saturdays Devotion is a request made by Our Lady of Fatima. The Blessed Mother promised to assist at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation all who, as an act of reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, on the first five Saturdays of consecutive months:

Go to confession
Receive Holy Communion
Say five decades of the rosary
Keep Mary company for fifteen minutes meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the rosary
The sacramental confession can be received within eight days either before or after the reception of Communion, provided the communicant is in a state of grace for Communion.

Reception of Holy Communion must take place within twnety-four hours of the first Saturday. The reception of Communion need not be part of a Mass.

The fifteen minutes of meditation are in addition to the recitation of the rosary.
