Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Patroness of the United States of America Protect our nation from all harm, physical and spiritual.

Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Patroness of the United States of America Protect our nation from all harm, physical and spiritual. 

Christians are going to suffer in America. Maybe we aren't feeling it yet; but it will come. And when it does come we will have a choice to make. We can choose to stand with God, our Faith, and our conscience, or, we have have the ability to choose, to turn our backs and go "forward" by allowing through our apathy legislation that is increasingly anti-God, anti-life, and anti-Christian. 

Remember in Luke Jesus answering some present in the crowd at that time who told Him about the Galileans who were slaughtered and Pilate had mixed their blood with their sacrifices. "Do you think that these Galileans were sinners above all the men of Galilee, because they suffered such things? No, I say to you: but unless you also do penance, you shall all likewise perish. Luke 13: 2-3 Let's fight a spiritual war with spiritual weapons. "An evil spirit of this kind is only driven out by prayer and fasting." Matthew 17:21 Mark 9:29 

Fatima on World Peace

The recent escalation of violence in the Middle East should be a warning and awaken us all to return and honor the requests of Our Lady at Fatima for Peace in the World "Say the Rosary every day to obtain peace for the world. And after each decade say the following prayer: 'O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell, and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of Thy mercy.'"

    Prayer of Pope St. Pius X
To the Immaculate Conception

Most holy Virgin, who pleased our Lord and became his mother, Virgin Immaculate in your body and soul, in your body and soul, in your faith and love, at this solemn jubilee of the promulgation of the dogma which proclaimed you to the entire world as conceived without sin, look kindly on us unfortunate ones who implore your powerful protection. The infernal serpent, upon whom the primeval curse was laid, continues, alas, to attack and tempt the hapless children of Eve. Ah! Do you, our blessed Mother, our Queen and Advocate, who at the first moment of your conception did crush the enemy's head, do you gather together our prayers and we beseech you (our hearts one with yours) present them before God's throne, that we may never allow ourselves to be caught in the snares laid for us, but that we may reach the portal of salvation, and that the Church and Christian society may once more chant the hymn of deliverance, of victory and of peace. Amen.

Composed for the fiftieth anniversary of the definition of the Immaculate Conception, September 8, 1903.

 "Wars are a punishment for 

the sins of mankind."

The Fatima message is a call for men to give up sinful practices which grieve God and draw down His chastisements on the world, and to make reparation for them. Commenting on Our Lady's request for penance, Sr. Lucia wrote: "The part of the last apparition which has remained most deeply imprinted on my heart is the prayer of our heavenly Mother begging us not to offend any more Almighty God, Who is already grievously  offended "

"I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and ask pardon for their sins. They must not continue to offend Our Lord, Who is already too much offended."

 Tell everybody! God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary! Tell them to Plead for Peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for God has entrusted the Peace of the World to Her."

 Jacinta shortly before her death remarked:  
"If men only knew what eternity is, how they would make all possible efforts to amend their lives . . . mortification and sacrifice give great pleasure to Our Divine Lord."

Before Jacinta left to the hospital she said to Lucia: "In a short time now I am going to heaven. You are to stay here and say  to everyone that God wishes to establish in the world the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. . . . Tell everybody that God grants graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and that they must ask them from her. Tell them that the Heart of Jesus wishes that by His side should be venerated the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask peace through the Immaculate Heart of Mary; God has placed it in her hands. Oh that I could put into the heart of everybody the flame that I feel burning within my breast and which makes me love so much the Heart of Jesus and the Heart of Mary."

 World Apostolate of Fatima

 The Fatima Promise

St. Maximilian Kolbe before Mary

December 10th is the Anniversary of the Fatima apparition in Pontevedra Spain requesting the 5 First Saturdays!

The Promises of Our Lady for her assistance at the hour of death and for our Salvation when we make the devotion of the 5 First Saturdays!

The Vision of  Pontevedra December 10th 1925. Our Lady and the Child Jesus who asked for compassion on the Heart of His
 Mother,  that was surrounded with thorns.

Eight years after the Fatima apparitions of 1917, when Sister Lucy was living in a convent in Pontevedra, Spain, Our Lady returned (as She had promised at Fatima) to Sister Lucy on December 10, 1925. On this occasion, Our Lady came to ask for the Communion of Reparation on the Five First Saturdays. She promised eternal salvation for Catholics who fulfill the Five First Saturdays. The Most Holy Virgin appeared to her, and by Her side, elevated on a luminous cloud, was the Child Jesus. 

Our Lady rested her hand on Lucia's shoulder and as She did so, She showed her a heart encircled by thorns, which She was holding in Her other hand. At the same time, the Child said: "Have compassion an the Heart of your Most Holy Mother, covered with thorns, with which ungrateful men pierce It at every moment, and there is no one to make an act of reparation to remove them."

Our Lady continued speaking while looking intently at Sr. Lucia  and said:

"Look My daughter, at My Heart, surrounded with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce Me at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You at least try to console Me and announce in My name that I promise to assist at the moment of death, with all 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."      


                     

Why Five Consecutive First Saturdays of Reparation?

The five consecutive First Saturdays of reparation were requested by Our Lady of Fatima to atone for the five ways in which people offend her Immaculate Heart:

1. Attacks upon Mary’s Immaculate Conception;

2. Attacks against her Perpetual Virginity;

3. Attacks upon her Divine Maternity and the refusal to accept her as the Mother of all mankind.

4 For those who try to publicly implant in children’s hearts indifference, contempt and even hatred of this Immaculate Mother;

5. For those who insult her directly in her sacred images.

On Feb 15, 1926 the Child Jesus appeared once more in the garden at Pontevedra to Lucia

who was still a novice and asked her a question:

 

Later, Sister Lúcia reported that on February 15, 1926 while emptying a  garbage can outside the garden, she saw a child she thought she recognized. After striking up a conversation with him, the child transformed into the Child Jesus, who then reprimanded Sister Lúcia for not doing more to promote the five First Saturdays devotion. "Have you spread devotion to the five 1st Saturdays? It is true, my daughter, that many souls begin the First Saturdays, but few finish them, and those who do complete them do so in order to receive the graces that are promised thereby. It would please me more if they did Five with fervor and with the intention of making reparation to the Heart of your heavenly Mother, then if they did Fifteen in a tepid and indifferent manner."

  How to Make the First Saturdays

• Sacramental confession

The confession can take place within the month of the First Saturday Holy Communion is received, but the Holy Communion must be received with dignity, in a state of Grace, keeping in mind that Jesus is physically present in the Eucharist.  The Intention of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary must be made before Holy Communion is received and should be kept in mind during your confession.

• Holy Communion

The Holy Communion has to be received within the 24 hours of the first Saturday of the Month. Attendance to Holy Mass is optional. Receiving Holy Communion as part of this devotion must be consciously intended as an Act of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart. 

The devotee need not tell anyone else, but keep it in mind. To avoid omitting the Intention every Saturday, the General Intention for the devotion of the Act of Reparation can be mentally or outspokenly stated before starting the First Saturdays (or in between).
If a person has a valid reason not to attend Mass (Masses not available on Saturdays, sickness,or other major event), the devotee may consult a priest about receiving Communion privately or on another day with the intention of making this Communion as part of the first Saturday devotion.

• Holy Rosary The Rosary must also be recited with the intention of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart 
• Meditation  A 15 Minute Meditation must also be made on the Mysteries of the Rosary
  
  This Meditation should also be done in an Act of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Rosary Meditations can be done on all 15 of the mysteries or fewer but must last for 15 minutes. This meditation is in addition to the recitation of the Rosary. 
  However, One may say one 5 decade rosary and then say another as one is meditating if one has trouble focusing ones thoughts to meditate.  The Rosary and the period of Meditation my be done alone or in a group and with or without the aid of sacred scripture. It is always good to consult ones confessor when in doubt.
