The Five First Saturdays

Saturday the 1st is the First Saturday of the Month of February

In October1925 Lucy dos Santos, one of the three child seers of Fatima. joined as a postulant in the Dorothean house at Pontevedra, Spain. Here on December 10, 1925, sister Lucy, now eighteen, received an apparition of the Child Jesus and the Virgin Mary in her convent cell.

The Holy Virgin showed her a Heart surrounded by thorns; Our Lady said to her:
" See, My daughter, my heart surrounded by thorns which ungrateful men pierce at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude . . .

"Say to all those who, for five consecutive months, on the first Saturday :

• Confess
• receive Holy Communion
• recite five decades of the Rosary
• and keep Me company for 15 minutes while meditating on the Mysteries of the Rosary,
• with the intention of making reparation to me. . .
  
  ". . . that I promise to assist them at the hour of death with all the graces necessary for the salvation of their souls."
