The Five First Saturdays

The First Saturday devotion is a Catholic practice involving attending Mass, receiving Holy Communion, and meditating on Jesus’s suffering for five consecutive first Saturdays of each month. It’s rooted in the request of the Virgin Mary to promote devotion and reparation for sins, especially in her messages at Fatima. Participants often confess, receive Communion, and pray the Rosary on these days. The goal is to console Mary’s Immaculate Heart, promote spiritual healing, and attain peace in the world. This practice emphasizes regular, intentional acts of faith and surrender, fostering deeper connection and trust in God’s mercy.
