First Five Saturdays Devotion: Praying the Rosary with Intention and Faithfulness
The Catholic faith invites us not only to pray, but to remain faithful in prayer.
The First Five Saturdays Devotion is a beautiful and powerful Marian devotion rooted in Catholic tradition and requested by Our Lady of Fatima. It calls the faithful to offer reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary while deepening their relationship with Christ through consistent prayer and sacramental life.
The Catholic Origin of the First Five Saturdays
In 1925, Our Lady appeared to Sister Lúcia, one of the Fatima visionaries, and asked for a specific devotion of reparation. She explained that her Immaculate Heart was surrounded by thorns placed there by the sins and indifference of humanity, and that many souls were lost because there were few willing to console her.
Our Lady requested that, for five consecutive First Saturdays, the faithful:
- Go to Confession
- Receive Holy Communion
- Pray five decades of the Holy Rosary
- Spend fifteen minutes meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary
- Offer all of this with the intention of reparation to her Immaculate Heart
The five Saturdays represent reparation for five major offenses against the Immaculate Heart of Mary, including blasphemies and the neglect of devotion to her.
Our Lady promised special graces to those who faithfully complete this devotion, particularly her maternal assistance at the hour of death.
The Rosary: A Prayer of Reparation and Love
The Rosary is at the heart of the First Five Saturdays devotion. It is not simply a repetition of prayers, but a meditative journey through the life of Christ, seen through the eyes of His Mother.
