Dedication of the Five First Saturdays to Our Lady

2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Rule of the Five First Saturdays

The consecration of the Mother of God of the first five Saturdays of five consecutive months is a prayerful and Eucharistic practice that was proposed by the Mother of God in order to help Her atone for the sins of people who offend Her.

What is the rule

In an apparition on December 10, 1925, the Blessed Virgin said to Lucia: “Look, my daughter, at my Heart, surrounded with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce me every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You at least try to console me and say 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,
1) shall confess,
2) receive Holy Communion,
3) recite five decades of the Rosary,
4) and keep me company for fifteen minutes
5) while meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary,
6) with the intention of making reparation to me.”

The Mother of God asked Lucia to declare on Her behalf that to all who thus seek to compensate Her: “I promise to assist them at the hour of death, with all the graces necessary for the salvation of their souls.”

Rule of the Five First Saturdays.
Questions from Gonçalves and answers from Lucia

In May 1930, Father Jose Bernardo Goncalves asked the nun Lucia to answer in writing several questions concerning the Dedication of the Five First Saturdays to Our Lady:

During five months, on the first Saturday, to receive Holy Communion, say the Rosary, keep Our Lady company for fifteen minutes, mediatating on the Mysteries of the Rosary, and going to Confession with the same intention. This can be done on another day, as long as, on receiving Holy Communion, one is in the state of Grace.

“To the souls who in this manner seek to make reparation to me (says Our Lady) I promise to assist them, at the hour of death, with all the graces necessary for salvation.”

‹…›

If I am not mistaken, Our Lord promises to end the persecution of Russia, if the Holy Father condescends to make, and likewise ordains the Bishops of the Catholic world to make, a solemn and public act of reparation and consecration of Russia to the Most Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary. In response to the end of this persecution, His Holiness is to promise to approve of and recommend the practice of the already mentioned devotion of reparation.
