Every First Saturday, I try to make the First Saturday Devotion, and something blocks me! I've tried saying Rosary Novenas, and I still get blocked, something always comes up! This time it's a trip to Winnipeg, one of the most notorious places in Catholic history! A few hours ago, I tried get my parents to let me go to mass on Saturday there, but they refused! I'm frustrated and worried over this, why do I keep getting blocked? Can everyone please give me some advice, and pray for me and my issues? I do hope to be moving to my better parish, sometime this month, so pray for that too.

Lord have mercy.

Wait until Friday evening and do it then; it is perfectly acceptable for Saturday devotions to happen after sunset on Friday.

Don't tell anyone you are planning to do this; just slip it quietly into your evening.

Alternatively, set your alarm clock for 4am, get up then, do the devotion and then go back to bed.

You need to receive Holy Communion and go to confession when doing the First Saturday Devotion. However, I do plan on trying to say a perfect Act of Contrition and doing a Spiritual Communion, this Saturday in the hopes of doing something for Our Lady.

Maybe Jesus himself is blocking you from praying Rosary because :
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Pray directly to Jesus .
