    DEVOTION OF THE FIVE FIRST SATURDAYS The following is an explanation of the conditions contained in Our Lady's request regarding the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays of the Month. Confess and receive Holy Communion On February 15, 1926 the Child Jesus alone came to visit Sr. Lucia and asked if the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary was being propagated. Sr. Lucia spoke of a difficulty some people have in confessing on the first Saturday, and asked if they might be allowed eight days in order to fulfill Our Lady's requests. Jesus answered: "Yes, even more time still, as long as they receive Me in the state of grace and have the intention of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary." Recite the Rosary Five decades of the Rosary may be recited at any time or place; yet, since one will be attending Mass in order to receive Holy Communion, a very desirable time and place would be before or after Mass in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Meditation on the mysteries according to one's capacity is an essential condition for praying the Rosary. Yet, involuntary distractions do not rob the Rosary of fruit if one is doing the best he can. "Keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary." The question is often asked: Does the meditation while reciting the Rosary fulfill this condition, or is there required an additional fifteen minutes of meditation? That an additional 15 minutes of meditation is required was recently confirmed by Sr. Lucia of Fatima. It is clear too from a statement by the first Bishop of Fatima. The last entry in the chronology of Fatima, published in the official Calendar of the Sanctuary for the year of 1940, and signed by Dom Jose Correia da Silva, the first Bishop of Fatima, gave a summary of Our Lady's requests concerning the Five First Saturdays. From that official statement in the Calendar of the Sanctuary, we read the Bishop's enumeration of the various items that pertain to the devotion of the five Saturdays: It consists in going to Confession, receiving Communion, reciting five decades of the Rosary and meditating for a quarter of an hour on the mysteries of the Rosary on the first Saturday of five consecutive months. The Confession may be made during the eight days preceding or following the first Saturday of each month, provided that Holy Communion be received in the state of grace. Should one forget to form the intention of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, it may be formed at the next Confession, occasion to go to confession being taken at the first opportunity. The meditation embraces one or more mysteries; it may even include all, taken together or separately, according to individual attraction or devotion; but it is preferable to meditate on one mystery each month. Speaking of the requirement of "keeping me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary," the Bishop's comment that "it is preferable to meditate on one mystery each month" could apply only to an extra fifteen minutes, for each decade of the Rosary must have its own particular meditation. This is clear from the definition of the Rosary given in the official document of the Church on indulgences, the ENCHIRIDION OF INDULGENCES published by Pope Paul VI in 1968. It describes the Rosary as follows: "The Rosary is a certain formula of prayer, which is made up of fifteen decades of HAIL MARYS with an OUR FATHER before each decade, and in which the recitation of each decade is accompanied by pious meditation on a particular mystery of our Redemption." (n. 48) * * * * * * * * * * Like the Rosary, this meditation may be made any time or place during the first Saturday.

    In 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to three little children

    in Fatima, Portugal to give through them to mankind Heavens


    solution for peace in this modern and war-torn world.
    Half of that solution depends on the Pope consecrating
    Russia, but the other half depends on many Catholics making
    Communions of Reparation for sins committed against
    the Immaculate Heart of Mary on the first Saturday of five
    consecutive months.

    THE OFFER
    To encourage Catholics to make these Communions of
    Reparation, on December 10th, 1925, Our Lady appeared again
    to one of the children and made the following stupendous offer.
    She said: Announce in My name that I promise to assist at the
    moment of death, with all 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 Me company for fifteen minutes
    while meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary, with
    the intention of making reparation to Me. This promise is a
    guarantee of salvation!

    THE FOUR CONDITIONS


    1. HOLY CONFESSION can be made 8 days before or after the
    First Saturday, so long as Holy Communion is received in the
    state of grace.

    Actually, to perform the Five First Saturdays, you will need


    perseverance to make the five Saturdays in a row without any
    interruptions and you will need to concentrate on performing
    faithfully each of the four conditions for each of the five Saturdays.
    Nevertheless, even this little effort of perseverance is nothing
    compared with Eternal Salvation.
    How can Heaven be making such an offer? Surely the ease of
    the offer is proportional to the difficulty of todays circumstances.
    From eternity, God has perfectly known what a godless
    wasteland His enemies would make out of todays world, with
    its materialism, diabolical disorientation, distracting technology
    and moral and political corruption, which God knew would invade
    even His Church.
    In such circumstances, He knew also how it would be easier than
    ever for us to fall into Hell. So He offers us, through His merciful
    Mother, Eternal Salvation if we will make just one effort for five
    months and then regardless of the state of the world you will be
    able to say: then let the world do its worst I have shown God
    that, at least once in my life, I persevered in love of His Mother.

    Just that much genuine honor for His Mother is


    enough for Her Divine Son.

    3. HOLY ROSARY The normal five-mystery Rosary must


    be recited correctly, while one meditates on each of the
    Mysteries being prayed.
    4. MEDITATION The fifteen-minute Meditation may be on any
    or all of the Mysteries, but Our Lady asked that we meditate
    on each of the 15 Mysteries at least once during the Five
    First Saturdays. Since Our Lady spoke of those who keep
    Me company, we should think of Her participation in each
    Mystery chosen for the meditation.

    STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN The Five First Saturdays


    All that is required is a little FAITH: to perform the Five First Saturdays; I do need to believe that Heaven exists, that Our Lady of Fatima can obtain
    for us salvation, and that She did make this sensational promise the Church says She did. A little HUMILITY: through His Mother, God requires
    astonishingly little for us to guarantee our Eternal Salvation. But He does require us to do the little that He requests. (John 3:30) A little EFFORT: all
    you need for Eternal Bliss is to be a baptized Catholic and to make the devotion of the Five First Saturdays.

    IMPORTANCE OF PREPARATION To honor the Blessed


    Mother, Our Lord insisted on the twenty conditions being
    performed with the intention of making Reparation to
    the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the flood of sins being
    committed today against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. In
    fact, Our Lord specified a special intention of Reparation
    for each of the five Saturdays.
