The First Saturdays Devotion, also known as the “Five First Saturdays” is a special request by Our Lord and Our Lady to make reparation for all the sins against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Our Lady promised personal salvation if we fulfill the (5) consecutive First Saturdays. However, we should continue to fulfill them every month to console the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and make reparation for the sins of others. The continued practice of the First Saturdays will help bring about a period of peace and the salvation of many souls as Our Lady promised (Fatima, July 13, 1917).
Our Lady appeared six times to the children at Fatima, yet her appearance on July 13th, 1917 was particularly important. It was also the first time that Our Lady mentioned the First Saturdays. See Story of Fatima to learn more.
At Fatima, during the third appearance of Our Lady to the children–on July 13th 1917– she said:
“You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. In order to save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If you do what I tell you, many souls will be saved, there will be peace…”
The four practices to be fulfilled on the First Saturday, each with the intention of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, as Our Lady asked in 1925, are as follows:
* Each of these practices need to be done with the intention of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
