In Pontevedra, on December 10, 1925, Sister Lúcia was favored with a visit from our Blessed Mother and the Child Jesus. First, the Child Jesus spoke,
“Have pity on the Heart of your Most Holy Mother. It is covered with the thorns with which ungrateful men pierce it at every moment and there is no one to remove them with an act of reparation.”
Then, our Blessed Mother extended her hand in which she held her heart surrounded with thorns and said,
“Behold, my daughter, my heart encircled with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce me at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. Do you at least try to console me and announce in my name that I promise to assist at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months confess, receive Holy Communion, recite the Rosary and keep me company for 15 minutes meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary with the intention of making reparation to me.”
Prayer of Reparation for Blasphemy Against the Blessed Virgin Mary
Most glorious Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, turn thine eyes in pity upon us, miserable sinners; we are sorely afflicted by the many evils that surround us in this life, but especially do we feel our hearts break within us upon hearing the dreadful insults and blasphemies uttered against thee, O Virgin Immaculate.
O how these impious sayings offend the infinite Majesty of God and of His only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ! How they provoke His indignation and give us cause to fear the terrible effects of His vengeance! Would that the sacrifice of our lives might avail to put an end to such outrages and blasphemies; were it so, how gladly we should make it; for we desire, O most holy Mother, to love thee and to honor thee with all our hearts, since this is the will of God. And because we love thee, we will do all that is in our power to make thee honored and loved by all men.
On this her feast day, she is always especially generous to her true children, those who are consecrated to her Immaculate Heart. Ask her boldly for the graces you need to advance in her service! You will be amazed at her generosity!
Thus, Our Lady of Fatima came to request the devotion of the First Saturdays of Reparation years before she asked for the Consecration of Russia, indicating the need to prepare spiritually for such a monumental task. The Pope in 1925 was Pius XI and he could easily have instituted this devotion. Bishops all over the world, even a vast movement of faithful could have driven this devotion to an overwhelming tide of penitential support for the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Sadly, this never happened.
In 1930, Sister Lucia asked Our Lord Jesus Christ why five First Saturdays instead of any other number. Sister Lúcia said that Our Lord explained that there are five offenses against the Immaculate Heart of His Mother which require reparation. They are:
- Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception;
- Blasphemies against Her Perpetual Virginity;
- Blasphemies against Her Divine Maternity, in refusing at the same time to recognize Her as the Mother of men.
- Blasphemies of those who publicly seek to sow in the hearts of children indifference or scorn, or even hatred of our Immaculate Mother;
- The offenses of those who outrage Her directly in Her holy images.
Offering up The Most Holy Rosary to our Lord Jesus Christ and to Holy Spirit and to Most Holy Mother Mary for Holy Reparation of God The Most High's Holy Sacred Glorious heart, and for God The Most Highs Holy Heavenly Burdens removed, for Holy Reparation of our Lord Jesus Christs Holy Sacred Heart and for Holy Reparation of our Most Holy Blessed Virgin Mother Marys Holy Immaculate Heart prior to praying The Most Holy Rosary, prior to praying our Blessed Holy Trinitys Divine Mercy Chaplet and or Novena and prior to praying our Lords Holy Wound Chaplet regularly while fasting, giving up sweets, treats, leisure time activities, our Lord Jesus Christ is well pleased and Most Holy Mother Mary is well pleased. Sacrifices and obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ I offer up for Holy Reparation yet never enough! I can do better daily and weekly I know in my heart through Jesus and Holy Spirit and through Most Holy Mother Mary. So this week trying more greatly and asking Holy Heaven to pray for me again.
What a wonderful surprise it is to be gifted with our Lord Jesus Christ saying
"Granted"when our prayers are most pleasing to Him and when our prayers are most pleasing to our Most Holy Mother Mary through Most Holy Mother Mary Herself and Her Beseechings in The Most Holy Rosary, in Gods Holy Divine Mercy Chaplet and Novena and in The Holy Wound Chaplet - always include our Most Holy Blessed Virgin Mother Mary in every Prayer that is prayed.
With all of the Glory our Lords, because on our own we can do nothing. It is only through our Lord Jesus Christ and through Most Holy Mother Mary in Holy Spirit that we can do things. While calling upon Gods Holy Saints, Holy Angels, Holy Souls in Heaven, "Storm Holy Heaven, our Lord Jesus Christ told Saint Marie Chambon when delivering His Holy Wound Chaplet. And to offer up for all of our Lord Jesus Christs Loving Holy Intentions and to offer up for all of Most Holy Mother Mary's Loving Holy Intentions Jesus has requested while praying for Holy Reparation of His Sacred Heart and Holy Reparation of Most Holy Mother Marys Holy Immaculate Heart.
We Love Thee, We Adore Thee and we thank Thee Dear Lord Jesus Christ and our Most Holy Divine Mother of God our Most Holy Divine Queen of Heaven, Holy Divine Queen of Hearts/Souls and Holy Divine Queen of Earth - it is Holy Mother Mary Whom brings Gods Holy Divine Heavenly Refreshments and Graces to all of The Holy Souls in Purgatory while praying and passing on our prayers to our Blessed Holy Trinity, Whom intercedes to those whom call upon Most Holy Mother Mary while praying and liaising with God and His Holy Angels, Holy Saints, Holy Martyrs, Holy Disciples, Holy Prophets, Holy Priests, Holy Souls in Heaven, Holy Catholic Religious in Heaven, while interceding with our Lord Jesus Christ and answering many prayers and dealing with Souls through our Lord Jesus Christ at the same time and manifested in many many places including here on earth appearing and present and in Holy Divine Heavenly attendance in Holy Masses.
To name but just a few of the trillions of Holy Divine Tasks in and from God The Most High.
Souls will be in for a shock when they finally realise in Gods Holy Spirit of Truth how much God The Most High our Most Holy Divine Heavenly Majesty has bestowed upon His Most Treasured Holy Divine Daughter and Mother of God - our Holy Divine Queen of Heaven and Earth and of all Hearts/Souls.
How many Graces bestowed upon people here through Most Holy Mother Mary and Her Holy Divine Beseechings to God for Souls' salvation.
