Word of the Day: First Saturdays

FIRST SATURDAYS. Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on the first Saturdays of five successive months, as part of the revelations of the Blessed Virgin at Fátima, Portugal (1917). The faithful are to go to confession and on each of the five successive first Saturdays are to receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and meditate on the mysteries for at least fifteen minutes.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
