the Five First Saturdays

This request came directly from our Blessed Lord when He and Our Lady appeared to Sr. Lucia at Pontevedra, Spain in 1925 and 1926. Our Lord told Lucia that HE wanted this reparation through the Five First Saturdays as reparation for the sins committed against His Mother’s Immaculate Heart.

Many evils could already have been avoided, but too few people have believed and lived God’s requests through and FOR Our Lady. Let’s enter the reparation process for her on the First Five Saturdays, and if necessary, use a helpful checklist to keep track of our activities related to this honor. Each person attends at least the Five First Saturdays:

  • usually as graces for himself, but these Saturdays could be offered for someone else.
  • in reparation for the sins against Our Lady’s Immaculate heart, including sins against Our Lady’s:
    • Immaculate Conception.
    • perpetual virginity.
    • divine maternity.
    • statues and images.
    • relationship with every child:
      • including “children” who have now grown into adults (because we are always children of God and thus spiritual children of Our Lady).
      • so that by loving Our Lady more, she will help to increase each person’s love for Jesus, Who is her Son and our Savior. (“Do whatever He tells you” [Jn 2:5])
  • to obtain the graces that she promises to anyone who properly and sincerely fulfills this act of reparation to her.

When honoring the First Saturdays of reparation to Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart, keep going as often as possible beyond just Five First Saturdays. Offer a “set” of Five First Saturdays for a loved one who might need spiritual help, and use that prepared checklist when attending the First Five Saturdays for a loved one, too.
