Five Intentions
The five first Saturdays correspond to the five kinds of offences and blasphemies committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
They are:
Those committed against the Immaculate Conception
Those committed against the virginity of Our Lady
Those committed against the Divine Maternity, refusing at the same time, to accept Her as the Mother of all men
Those committed by attempting to instil indifference, scorn and even hatred for this Immaculate Mother in the hearts of children
Those committed by direct insults against Her sacred images.
First Saturday Devotion Requirements
Our Lady of Fatima promised “to assist at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation all those who, in order to make reparation to me, on the First Saturday of five successive months” do the following:
Go to confession
Receive Holy Communion
Say five decades of the Rosary
Keep Our Lady company for fifteen minutes meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary
All of the above should be carried out with the intention of making reparation to Our Lady.
