First Friday and Saturdays Devotions
More than two hundred years separate these two devotions from Heaven: The first given in 1674 in the revelations given by the Sacred Heart of Jesus to Saint Margaret Mary of Alacoque, as means to increase our love for Him, and to render Him reparation for all our sins. And the second announced by the Virgin Mary in Fatima in 1917 to the three little shepherds: Jacinta, Francisco, and Lucia, which later was exposed in detail by Sister Lucia, when she was in Pontevedra, Spain, in the Dorothea Convent, as postulant in the year 1925. In this case, also, the Virgin asks for this devotion as means to make known the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and as reparation for all the blasphemies and ungratefulness that she receives from ungrateful men.Requirements to gain the Grace of the First Friday’s of the month

Requirements and Promises of this devotion of the First Saturday’s.
And the Most Holy Virgin said to Lucia:
“Look, my daughter, my heart surrounded with thorns, which the ungrateful men nail me continuously with blasphemies and ungratefulness. You, at least, try to console me and say that:
All those who during five consecutive months, in the First Saturday, will go to confession and receive the Holy Communion, pray the Holy Rosary, and spend 15 minutes accompanying me meditating the mysteries of the Rosary, with the purpose of repairing me, I promise to assist them at the hour of death with all the necessary graces for their salvation”.

Children, each First Saturday is the day that the Graces from My Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart are renewed. Each First Saturday must be considered as the day of Mary Co-Redeemer, because the First Saturdays of each month, the Father from Heaven renews his Mercy with all humanity.
The Father, seeing his children repairing, asking for forgiveness, and consoling Our Sacred Hearts stop the Justice and the Correction to grant Peace, Pardon, to renew the Alliance that My Son signed with his Blood in the Cross.
The First Saturdays of each month and the Holy Eucharistic Adoration are like the same Key that opens the Doors of Mercy. Each First Saturday must be a renewal of the Consecration that you, My children, have made to My Heart.
