It's that other request most people haven't heard of or have forgotten.
It is the only devotion in the world which can remove the Thorns from Our Lady's Immaculate Heart. It is those thorns which prevents Our Lord's Heart from joining His Mother's. He himself has said so.
Our sad Lord appeared twice as a child (12/10/25 & 2/15/26) to Sr Lucia about Our Lady of Fatima's request, asking her if she got it going. Its the request Sr Lucia "lived a while longer to set up", and the devotion revealed during the July 13th apparition together with the other request for the Consecration.
While those thorns remain, the Child Jesus explained, His Heart cannot be enjoined to His Mother's Heart. The World cannot have Peace while the thorns remain and while those Two Hearts are separated. Our Lady's Triumph will occur when those thorns are removed and when Jesus' Heart is enjoined to His Mother's. The Consecration alone cannot remove the thorns.
Would there be Peace in your home if your mother had thorns in Her heart? The thorns represent the sins in the home. While sin exists, could there be true peace in the home?
We are each called to be the little Christ child, saving our brothers through "Love of Neighbor", the other half of the Great Commandment of "Love of God" and "Love of Neighbor". Our Lady requested the First Five Saturdays, the ACT of LOVE of NEIGHBOR, to save them "from falling into hell."
So what does that Devotion consist of?
1) Reception of the Holy Eucharist
2) Confession
3) Recitation of the Rosary (5 decades)
4) Spend 15 minutes in company with Our Mother,...meditating on some mystery of the Rosary or all mysteries.
Do the four things listed above on the First Saturday of the month, for Five Consecutive months. If you begin on the first Saturday of January, you finish on the first Saturday of May.
What Happens when you practice the Devotion
There are thorns which surround Our Lady's Immaculate Heart. Would you like to remove them? Do the First Five Saturdays Devotion. Each time to do a First Saturday, you remove a thorn. When the thorn is removed, a fragrant grace issuing from Our Lady's Heart is shed upon your soul and for the Soul for
whom you are offering the Sacrifice. It could be for a soul you know or for an unknown soul. That soul will receive the Grace to prevent them from falling into Hell. How do we know this? Because through the two Fatima visionaries, Sr Lucia, and Jacinta, we have been told. It is what Our Lady and Her Child Jesus asked for.
With thorns completely removed, the Triumph of Her Immaculate Heart is the end result, besides saved souls. However, even if we do not respond to Our Mother's request, Her Heart will still Triumph, but it can only occur after much suffering. How else will sins be atoned for? Either we participate in the Love of Neighbor, to atone for sin in the world, or the world will have to be atoned in another way. This is the urgency in the messages. If we look around, many of the prophecies Our Mother predicted have come about: increase of immorality, Fashions will be such that they will offend Our Lord, much confusion in the Church, Bishop against Bishop, the Holy Father will have to suffer much, and Persecution of the Church.
Our Lady appeared in Fatima at a time when Religious Freedom in Portugal was being taken away, and persecution was greatly felt. Those who practiced their faith were put in the front lines of WWI. Priests were jailed, and to wear their Holy Cloth was forbidden. She pointed to Communism as a great error which would spread through the earth. It has. America is feeling the wrath of Religious Freedom being taken away. Christians are being persecuted to martyrdom. The Culture of Death is mounting.The answer is Fatima. Our Lady performed the greatest miracle ever since the Incarnation and Resurrection of Her Son. That miracle was the Miracle of the Sun. What more could she do to get Her point across?
Do the First Five Saturdays. Pray the Rosary daily. Do penance for our Neighbor found in our fallen away adult children, in a stranger, in our priests, our friends, our mother & our father, and our Leaders. We hold the salvific solution to Peace.
Stop complaining about how upside down the world is. If you are going to complain, remind yourself of what the solution is - The First Five Saturdays Devotion.
What great Joy will ensue for the world when the Triumph = complete removal of thorns = the enjoining of Jesus and His Mother's Hearts. Only YOU, the lay people, can remove the thorns, besides God Himself. The Church has already done Her part by way of the Consecration, now it is time for you to do yours.
