First Saturday devotions urgent

[Dawn Marie]

There are only FIVE First Saturdays left until the centennial of Our Lady revealing this devotion to Sr. Lucia in December 1925.

Implications for the world

This devotion also has implications beyond the individuals who practice it. Sr. Lucia wrote in March 1939:

Whether the world has war or peace depends on the practice of this devotion, along with the consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This is why I desire its propagation so ardently, especially because this is also the will of our dear Mother in Heaven.

In June of the same year, she wrote:

Our Lady promised to delay the scourge of war, if this devotion was propagated and practiced. We see that She will obtain remission of this chastisement to the extent that efforts are made to propagate this devotion; but I fear that we cannot do any more than we are doing and that God, being displeased, will pull back the arm of His mercy and let the world be ravaged by this chastisement which will be unlike any other in the past, horrible, horrible.

War was declared two months after this statement.

So don’t delay. In 1929, Our Lord said something to Sr. Lucia which suggests that the centennial in December could be an important date…

The centennial

So what happened in 1929?

In 1929, Our Lady and Our Lord issued the request, through Sr. Lucia, for the Pope and all the bishops to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart.

As Sr. Lucia struggled to have this request taken seriously, Heaven compared the reluctance of the hierarchy to that of Louis XIV, the King of France, who failed to consecrate France to the Sacred Heart. She received at least four separate messages making this comparison.

What was meant by this comparison? St. Margaret Mary Alacoque received this request in 1689 and relayed it to the court. Louis XIV and his successors failed to comply. In 1789, the French Revolution began – bringing the ancien régime of the French monarchy to an end. Louis XVI was beheaded in 1793.

While the First Saturday request is distinct from the later request for the Consecration of Russia, both are presented in the Fatima message as essential means to prevent chastisement and obtain peace.
