You at least console me, and say to all those who, for 5 months, on the first Saturdays, confess, receive Holy Communion, recite the Rosary, and keep Me company during 15 minutes while meditating on the 15 mysteries of the Rosary, in a spirit of reparation to me, I promise to assist them at the hour of death with all the graces necessary for the salvation of their souls." In 1980, Mary told Bernardo in Nicaragua in an apparition approved by the Church, "Renew the five first Saturdays. You received many graces when all of you did this." |
