First Saturday of the Month Devotion to the Blessed Mother



First Saturday Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary was requested by Our Lady herself at Fatima, the apparition site in Portugal.  Read more about this devotion at

Our Lady asks that we attend mass, go to confession and pray her rosary on this day.
The message given to Sister Lucia, the only visionary of Fatima who did not die before adulthood.  This message was given to her at her convent in Pontevedra, Spain.

Look, my daughter, at my Heart encircled by these thorns with which men pierce it at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You, at least, strive to console me, and so I announce: I promise to assist at the hour of death with the grace necessary for salvation all those who, with the intention of making reparation to me, will, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, go to confession, receive Holy Communion, say five decades of the beads, and keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary.
