Our Lady made two special requests of the faithful at Fatima: the consecration of Russia by the clergy and the spread of the Communal First Saturdays devotion by the laity. The request for the Communal First Saturday's devotion still is not fulfilled. Our Lady of Fatima requests that on the First Saturday of each month individuals go to Confession, say the Rosary, receive Holy Communion and keep her company for 15 minutes while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary after receiving Jesus in the Eucharist; with the intentions of making Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary to bring about world peace and the salvation of souls. One can go to Confession on this day or another day as long as Holy Communion is received in a state of grace. There should be one Confession for each First Saturday. Our lady promised assistance at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation to those who did the First Saturday for five consecutive months. In order to achieve Our Lady’s promise of world peace and the salvation of souls, we are called to go beyond just five Saturdays by practicing the First Saturday devotion every month as a community and to spread this devotion to every parish community. Come and join us in this communal devotion which will be part of the Saturday Vigil Mass beginning in January 2023.
