“Our Lady promises special graces to those who practice the ‘First Saturday Devotion’
and make reparation for blasphemies against her Immaculate Conception.” –EWTN
Our Lady Establishes the Devotion of the Five First Saturday’s
The Apparition of 10 December, 1925
On this day Our Lady, holding Her Immaculate Heart in Her Hand appeared to Lucia and by
Her side stood the Child Jesus on a luminous cloud. The Child Jesus said, “Have compassion on
the Heart of your Most Holy Mother, covered with thorns, with which ungrateful men pierce it
at every moment and there is no one to make an act of reparation to remove them.”
Then the Blessed Virgin Mary said to Lucia, “Look, my daughter, at My Heart, surrounded with
thorns with which ungrateful men pierce Me at every moment by their blasphemies and
ingratitude. You at least try to console Me and say that I promise to assist at the hour of death,
with 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 my
company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary, with the
intention of making reparation to Me.”
