A vision, a promise, and a request–which your family can fulfill.
(Yes, we make it easy–read on!)

Do you recall what Our Lady of Fatima asked of you and your family?

On July 13, 1917, Our Blessed Mother showed Hell to the children of Fatima, but she promised:

“You have seen Hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved…”

She continued that she would return later:

“I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays.”

On December 10, 1925, while at the Dorothean Convent in Pontevedra, Spain, Lucia had another apparition of the Blessed Mother, this time with the Child Jesus. She had returned to explain what we now call the Five First Saturdays.

Our Lady said,

“I promise to assist [those who practice the devotion of 5 First Saturdays] at the hour of death with all the graces necessary for the salvation of their souls.”

But Jesus Himself earlier had asked for some very minimal devotions that can be fulfilled this coming Friday, too!

Jesus gave St. Margaret Mary the beautiful devotion of Nine First Fridays and gave 12 promises to those who venerate His Sacred Hearts on First Fridays.

Among these promises, Jesus said:

I promise you, in the excessive mercy of My Heart, that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who receive Holy Communion on the first Friday for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance.”

What to do:

You may want to get
(for yourself, parish, or school!)
our “How To” pamphlets 
for the 1st Friday and 1st Saturday devotions.

They’re straightforward 8-panel pamphlets
to make clear & direct for families 
“how to do” (and “what it means to do”)
these simple family devotions.

If you have young kids, we made this just for you:
