fIRST friday

On December 27, 1763, St. Margaret Mary Alocoque received her first vision of Jesus during Eucharistic Adoration.   As noted in Divine Mercy in the Second Greatest Story Ever Told, (Father Michael Gaitley, MIC) Jesus appeared to her to counter the effects of Jansenism.    Jansenism promoted our unworthiness and created a great fear of God, drawing us away from Him.   Jesus appearing to St. Margaret Mary with his Sacred Heart exposed, sought to lead us back to the love, forgiveness and mercy of God.  Jesus gave us Twelve Promises.

Our Lady of Fatima / First Saturday Devotion

After the six monthly apparitions on the 13th of the month to Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco, Our Lady appeared again to Lucia on December 10, 1925.   In this apparition, she appeared with the Child Jesus .   Her heart was surrounded by thorns.    She asked Lucia for the promotion of the First Saturday Devotion and explained the offenses that were being committed against her Immaculate Heart.
