Homily #140201n ( 13min) Play – Fr. Louis Maximilian shows that King David’s repentance after the adultery with Bathsheba and murder of Uriah is an example of the need for repentance, and also that sin incurs punishment, even when it is forgiven. Father ties this in with the message of Fatima and the Five First Saturdays and highlights the need for us to repent from all of our sins, venial and mortal. One of the results of sin is spiritual blindness, and the First Saturdays are a lifeline to bring us to acknowledge our sins, and then to do penance for them. Finally, he reminds us that God doesn’t do “damage control”, but heals. Let us ask Our Lady for the strength to bear , crying out with David, “Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy.”

Fr. Ignatius gives the talk at the July First Saturday Devotion where he reflects on the  July message of Our Lady of Fatima to the children on the need to do reparation and how Sr. Lucia gave such a good example of this in suffering patiently through her many trials in the spirit of prayer, cooperating with the graces given to her and thus meriting more graces.

The post Reparation and Grace at Fatima – Fr. Ignatius – First Saturday July 2021 first appeared on AirMaria.com.

On the First Saturday during five Consecutive Months, the Devotion consists of:

1. Going to Confession,
2. Receiving the Sacrament of Holy Communion,
3. Saying five decades of the Rosary,

Meditating for 15 minutes on the mysteries of the Rosary.

All this offered in reparation for the sins of blasphemy and ingratitude committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
