Five First Saturdays

Yesterday we joined Pope Francis, all the bishops and millions of faithful around the world to consecrate ourselves, the Ukraine and Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

By itself this consecration is powerful, but it is not enough. Our Lady explicitly asked that once the Pope does his part, we must do ours if we want to bring about the triumph of Her Immaculate Heart and the era of peace.

Our part is the daily Rosary and Five First Saturdays of Reparation.

However, the piece that we have all missed is the Five First Saturdays of Reparation: That on the first Saturday of every month we go to Mass, receive communion, Pray the Rosary, then think about the life of Jesus for 15 minutes and go to Confession with the intention of making reparation to the Heart of Mary.

Pope Benedict extended the window for confession from 20 days before until 20 days after the first Saturday. That’s it.

Sr. Lucia, the last living visionary from Fatima wrote in a letter: “Our Lady promised to postpone the scourge of war if this devotion is spread and practiced. We see her putting off this chastisement in the measure that efforts are being made to spread it. But I am afraid that we are not doing all that we are able to, and that God, in no way satisfied, may raise the arm of his mercy and let the world be ravaged by this punishment, which will be as never been, horrible, horrible!...Peace or war depends on the Five First Saturdays along with the Consecration.”
