9 Fridays And 5 Saturdays Devotions

[Sarah147]

Hello,

I'm learning more about these two devotions. Does anyone know more about them, and have any other similar ones to add?

[font="arial"][b]The Heart of Mary Saturdays and the Saturday Rosary[/b]




In the message of Fatima, especially in the apparitions of June 13 and July 13,1917, Mary draws attention to the custom of devoting Saturdays to her and praying the rosary in reparation. Lucia, the eldest of the three children heard the following on June 13th:
[indent][b]"My child, behold my heart surrounded with thorns which ungrateful men place therein at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You, at least, try to console me, and tell them that I promise to help, at the hour of death, with the graces needed for salvation, whoever, on the [u][i]First Saturday of five consecutive months[/i][/u], shall confess and receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary with the intention of making reparation to me."[/b][/indent][/quote]
