Today Is The First Saturday Of The Month-Devotion To The Immaculate Heart Of Mary:

 

IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY PRAY FOR US

Five First Saturdays Devotion are to be completed on the first Saturday of five consecutive months: Confession (about eight days before or after), Communion (between Friday and Sunday, preferably on the Saturday itself), the Rosary (five decades), and an additional fifteen minutes of meditation on one or more of the mysteries of the Rosary.

In reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

All of these acts are to be performed in reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, on account of five offenses she suffers (and hence, it is a devotion of FIVE first Saturdays):

1) For blasphemes against her Immaculate Conception

2) For blasphemes against her perpetual virginity (before, during, and after birth)

3) For blasphemes against her Divine Maternity of Jesus and against her spiritual motherhood of all Christians

4) For the neglect of imbuing children with a knowledge and love of the Immaculate Mother of God

5) For offense against statues and images of Mary
