First Saturday Reparation (Catholic Traditional Prayer)

The Blessed Mother then said: “My daughter, look at my heart surrounded by the thorns with which ungrateful men pierce it at 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 all the graces necessary for salvation all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, go to Confession 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.”

• * Confession
• * Communion
• * 5 decades of the Rosary
• * Keep Mary company by meditation for fifteen minutes on the Rosary mysteries.
• * All this done with the intention of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

AN ACT OF REPARATION FOR THE FIRST SATURDAYS OF THE MONTH

O Most Holy Virgin, and Our Mother, we listen with grief to the complaints of your Immaculate Heart surrounded with the thorns placed therein at every moment by the blasphemies and ingratitude of ungrateful humanity.

We are moved by the ardent desire of loving you as Our Mother and of promising a true devotion to Your Immaculate Heart.

We therefore kneel before You to manifest the sorrow we feel for the grievances that people cause You, and to atone by our prayers and sacrifices for the offenses with which they return your love.

Obtain for them and for us the pardon of so many sins.

Hasten the conversion of sinners that they may love Jesus Christ and cease to offend the Lord, already so much offended.

Turn you eyes of mercy toward us, that we may love God with all our heart on earth and enjoy Him forever in Heaven.

Amen.
