Spreading the Communal First Saturdays Course
Outline of course
We address fundamental information concerning the Communal First Saturdays® that we know that you, who practice the First Saturdays devotion (or want to start practicing the First Saturdays) needs to know. For example, we go over why a parish would want to start the Communal First Saturdays® rather than doing the devotion in some other way publicly. We then will proceed how to establish step by step in the parish the Church-approved Communal First Saturdays® devotion. Along the way, we show how to overcome obstacles that can impede your progress. Are you ready to multiply reparation?
Foundation
On February 15, 1926, Jesus asked all of us through the person of Sr. Lucia, “Have you spread throughout the world, that [the First Saturdays Devotion] which the Heavenly Mother requested?” Let us also recall Sr. Lucia’s words in her letter dated June 20, 1939:
Our Lady promised to restrain the scourge of War if this devotion [the First Saturdays devotion] were spread and practiced. We will see Her warding off this chastisement in the measure people will take the pain to spread the devotion, although I am afraid we are not doing as much as we could and God, not too happy, might raise His arm of Mercy and let the world be destroyed by this punishment, which as never been before shall be, horrible, horrible. (brackets and emphasis ours)
