We were led at Infant of Prague to begin a First Saturday Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by praying the Rosary, with Confession followed by a 10am Mass to honor the Mother of Jesus per her Fatima message.

 

Words from the July 5th “First Saturday Mass.”

To the children at Fatima, Mary asked for devotion to her Immaculate Heart.

During the June 13, 1917, apparition when Our Lady of Fatima showed the three children her Immaculate Heart, Sr. Lucia described, “It was in that moment, when she said, ‘My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the path that will lead you to God.’ This devotion is recommended several times during the Fatima visions. Her Most Holy Heart even appears to us in the second apparition, crowned with thorns for our sins, asking for our prayers of reparation.”

 

 This point sums up the treasures of the messages of Fatima and why we started our “First Saturdays Devotion,” and is why we are here today. "To save souls, God wants to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart," Mary said, “If the world does what I will ask of you, many souls will be saved, and there will be peace. The war will end. But, if mankind does not stop offending God… a worse war will begin.”

 

“Tell people that I promise to be present with them at the moment of their death with all the graces needed to save their souls for anyone who, on the first Saturdays of five months, goes to Confession, receives Holy Communion, prays a Rosary, keeps me company for 15 minutes while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, and has the intention of repairing my injuries. Please pray for the reparation of offenses against my Immaculate Heart and for the offenses against my Son’s Sacred Heart.”

 

You want a path to holiness, salvation, and purpose in this life. We live in a materialistic society seeking pleasure and power here. But there is a greater power when we confess our sins and offer ourselves and our prayers for the salvation of souls and for peace in our country and for the world.

 

Join us for a First Saturday Mass and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

 

If you join us we will pray this prayer: Per Sister Lucia: ‘Our Lady requested of us: “Sacrifice yourselves for sinners and say many times, especially when you make the sacrifice: “O Jesus, it is for love of you, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”

 

Vivat Jesus,

Father Vic Gournas
