FIRST SATURDAY DEVOTIONS IN REPARATIONTO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

The purpose of Five First Saturday’s is to atone for these five blasphemies:

1. against Her Immaculate Conception; 2. against Her perpetual virginity; 3. against Her divine maternity of God and mankind; 4. involving instilling in the hearts of children indifference,

contempt or hate against this Immaculate Mother; and5. against Her sacred images.

Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament:While the celebrant is bringing the Eucharist to the altar the following hymn is sung by the congregation.

O saving Victim, opening widethe gate of heaven to man below. Our foes press on from every side; Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow. To Thy great name be endless praiseImmortal Godhead, One in Three; O, grant us endless length of days,in our true native land with Thee. Amen.

O salutaris HostiaQuae caeli pandis ostium;Bella premunt hostilia,Da robur, fer auxillium.

Uni trinoque DominoSit sempiterna gloria,Qui vitam sine terminoNobis donet in patria. Amen.

Five minutes of silent meditation

Intentions: The Church, the Pope, all Religious, our families, and our parish.Offering to Jesus: O my Jesus, I offer this devotion for love of You, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

After the Blessed Sacrament is returned to the Tabernacle, the following hymn is sung:

HAIL HOLY QUEENPrayers for the Holy Father

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be

Prayer to St. Michael:St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us (recite three times)

Prayer to Our Lady of Fatima:Queen of the Rosary, * Sweet Virgin of Fatima, * who has deigned to appear in the land of Portugal * and has brought peace, both interior and exterior, * we beg of you to watch over our dear homeland * and to assure * its moral and spiritual revival. * Bring back peace * to all nations of the world, * so that all, and our own nation in particular, * may be happy to call you their Queen of Peace. * Our Lady of the Rosary, * pray for our country. * Our Lady of Fatima, * obtain for all humanity * a durable peace. Amen.

Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us and save us!To fulfill the First Saturday Devotion according to Our Lady, an additional 15 minutes of meditation on one or more of the remaining mysteries of the rosary is required with the intention of making reparation to Her Immaculate Heart. This form of reparation involves you by participation in Mary’s partnership with Christ in the plan of salvation.

Our Lady told Sr. Lucia on December 10, 1925: “You at least try to console me and say that I promise to assist at the hour of death, with the graces necessary for salvation, all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, shall confess, receive Holy Communion recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to Me.”
