Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Sister Lucia of Fatima was only a child when our Lady of Fatima appeared to her and to her cousins Francisco and Jacinta. Her cousins died young but Lucia entered first the sisters of St, Dorothy and then later transferred to the Carmelite Order. Mary and Jesus appeared to Sister Lucia in Spain and spoke to her of the First Saturday devotion:

Sister Lucia of Fatima was only a child when our Lady of Fatima appeared to her and to her cousins Francisco and Jacinta. Her cousins died young but Lucia entered first the sisters of St, Dorothy and then later transferred to the Carmelite Order. Mary and Jesus appeared to Sister Lucia in Spain and spoke to her of the First Saturday devotion:
…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.”
I hope you will at least keep our Mother company today. If you can participate at Mass and receive Holy Communion in Reparation – all the better! God knows what we are able to do and I believe He shares with Mary that she also may know the love we have for our Mother.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.”
