Cardinals Raymond Burke and Robert Sarah are among senior prelates urging greater participation in the First Saturday Devotion and are backing an initiative that originated in France, aimed at encouraging the faithful to take part.
The Marian devotion, which is centered on making reparation for offenses and blasphemies against Mary’s Immaculate Heart that include denying her perpetual virginity or the Immaculate Conception, promises two immense graces for those who participate with true devotion and repentance: Our Lady’s assistance at the hour of death with all the graces necessary for salvation, and peace on earth.
The 100th anniversary of the devotion is Dec. 10, 2025. To mark its centenary, the “Alliance of the First Saturdays of Fatima” — a French-based global federation of Catholic groups whose mission is to promote and spread the devotion — launched the “First Saturdays of Fatima Jubilee 2025” on Jan. 4, 2025.
