First Saturday Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (II)

Christians have always honored Our Lady on Saturday because of her constant faith in Jesus on that first Holy Saturday before the Resurrection. Five first Saturdays of reparation were requested to atone for the five ways in which people offend the Immaculate Heart of Mary: - attacks upon Mary's Immaculate Conception - attacks against her Perpetual Virginity - attacks upon her Divine Maternity and the refusal to accept her as the Mother of all mankind - for those who try to publicly implant in children's hearts indifference, contempt and even hatred of the Immaculate Mother - for those who insult her directly in her sacred images.
