We will begin to celebrate the plea of Our Lady of Fatima on the first Saturday of June. Our Lady asked for the Rosary and a “brief period of meditation” on the Cross of Christ, and Mass on the First Saturday of each month. With the increased knowledge of late about Our Lady of Fatima from 1917 and the Consecration of Russia and Ukraine and the whole world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary she requested by the Pope and the people, many requests have come to us pleading for a First Saturday Mass here. This request must come from THE PEOPLE as a sign the Holy Spirit desires this, and Pastors must listen to such requests, particularly when they come in large numbers of the People of God. We will begin this on the FIRST SATURDAY OF JUNE2022.
At 7:30, we will meet to pray the Rosary and enter into quiet meditation for the remaining time. At 8 a.m., we will celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We will pray the Votive Mass (theme) of the Blessed Mother. All Saturdays in the Catholic liturgical year are dedicated to our Blessed Mother. Of course, Sundays are “the Lord’s Day.” This brings many, many Graces to the whole world. In these very strange times, the serious need to pray for this troubled old world can hardly be questioned.
We pray to the Father THROUGH Christ, with the Help of the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, and the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our Baptismal ritual states by the priest just after the Baptismal Promises: “This is the Faith. We are proud to profess it, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.” This will not be a “sung” Mass, but quiet and as always, reverential. Confession will be made available also after the Mass, as well as our regular time on Saturday afternoons.
So spread the word, please and invite others to join us in this community Acts of Faith, Hope and Love. Our Lord and our Lady are so very good to us here. They ask for so little in comparison to this generosity from Heaven. Let’s reciprocate according to MOTHER’S request, as acts of Penance not only for ourselves, but for those nearing eternal perdition. We help save each other, and the world! “Go and make disciples of all nations” is our approved and appropriate Missionary activity in our everydayness. As MOTHER often says at the end of Her Appearances, “Thank you for having responded to My call!”
