Today is the first Saturday of the month, and therefore a great opportunity to start the practice of the Five First Saturdays devoted to Our Lady.
To make this devotion, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months,
-Confess your sins and receive Holy Communion.
-Recite five decades of the Rosary.
-Spend an additional 15 minutes with Mary by meditating on some of the mysteries of the Rosary.
-Pray the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary (see it here).
-Pray this prayer of reparation for the offenses committed against Our Mother:
Most Holy Virgin, and our beloved Mother, we listen with grief to the complaints of thy Immaculate Heart, surrounded with thorns which ungrateful men place therein at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. Moved by the ardent desire of loving thee as our Mother and of promoting true devotion to thy Immaculate Heart, we prostrate ourselves at thy feet to prove the sorrow we feel for the grief that men cause thee and to atone by means of our prayers and sacrifices for the offenses with which men return thy tender love. Obtain for them and for us the pardon of so many sins. A word from thee will obtain grace and forgiveness for us all. Hasten, O Lady, the conversion of sinners, that they may love Jesus and cease to offend God, already so much offended, and thus avoid eternal punishment. Turn thine eyes of mercy toward us so that henceforth we may love God with all our hearts while on earth and enjoy Him forever in Heaven. Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.
