First Saturday - Sept 2 - TODAY!

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Yesterday, I posted a reminder about the First Saturday Devotion of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, with this quote:

Lucia was a postulant in the Convent of St. Dorothy in Pontevedra, Spain when she had the apparition of our Blessed Mother. She was standing over a cloud of light with the Child Jesus at her side. The Blessed Virgin put one hand on Lucia’s shoulder, while her other hand sustained her Immaculate Heart that was surrounded with thorns. The Child Jesus said: “Have compassion on the Heart of your Blessed Mother. It is surrounded with thorns that ungrateful men pierce each moment, and there is no one that is willing to offer an act of reparation to take the thorns away.”

Our Lady immediately said to Lucia: “Look, my daughter. My Heart is surrounded with thorns that ungrateful men pierce unceasingly with their blasphemies and ingratitude. You, at least, try to console me and announce that for all those, who for five consecutive first Saturdays, confess, receive Holy Communion, pray the Holy Rosary and accompany me for15 minutes by meditating the mysteries of the Holy Rosary with the intention to do reparation, I promise to assist them at the hour of death with the graces needed for salvation.”

For this First Saturday, in our Parish, our Legion of Mary has invited everyone to participate in Holy Mass, to pray the Rosary with the Legion of Mary in Church before Mass, and after Mass to join us for some refreshments. Rosary, at 8:30 am; Mass at 9 am; Confessions begin at 11:30 am.

For anyone unfamiliar with First Saturday devotions, see HERE
May the Holy Spirit inspire many to offer Reparation to Our Mother today, and through Mary’s intercession, may we all grow in Faith, Hope and Above All Charity.

I overslept and missed the morning Mass I was going to attend, but Our Lady kindly guided me to a noon Mass at the local monastery where afterwards I was able to do the meditation in front of a nice Mary statue in a garden.

Dear Tis Bearself,

How good our Mother Mary is to us – always! Thanks for your love and devotion to her, especially on First Saturday, when we need to offer Reparation to her Immaculate Heart, as Jesus has asked, through Sister Lucia of Fatima.
