The splendid promises if we Realize the "first Saturday of the month".
1/ REPAIRING THE OUTRAGES COMMITTED AGAINST THE COURSES OF MARY AND JESUS
La première conséquence est la réparation effective des offenses qui sont faites à Notre Mère du Ciel grâce à à la réalisation des 1ers samedis du mois. Le Christ confirmera à Soeur Lucie l’efficacité des 1ers samedis en ces termes :
" ... the Immaculate Heart of Mary inspired Me to ask for this small reparation and, in consideration of it, to move My mercy ".
Ainsi et de façon charitable, nous commençons non pas par attendre une conséquence bénéfique pour nous mais posons acte d’Amour d’une immense force envers Notre Dame et envers Dieu qui ne supporte pas les attaques contre sa Mère.
This is the great and noble promise of 1st Saturdays. This is our great role if we obey.
2/ L’ARRET DES GUERRES ET TOTALITARISMES
This point has already been made at length, and we recall FATIMA's great promises on this subject:
"In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate to me Russia, which will convert [and recognize the 1st Saturdays of the month], and the world will be granted a certain time of peace".
Oui les “1er samedi du mois“ nous amènerons la paix sur terre. Nous obtiendrons une société civile merveilleuse et paisible ainsi qu’une Eglise à la fois charitable et resplendissante. Imaginons un seul instant un monde ou le Christ règnera de nouveau où tout ce déferlement du mal dont nous souffrons sera stoppé par l’intervention miraculeuse du Coeur Immaculé de Marie. Voilà ce que nous sera accordé si nous réalisons ces 1er samedi du mois. Alors qu’attendons nous?
relisons le message de la Sainte Vierge à la Salette sur l’avènement de ce triomphe :
" Then Jesus Christ, in an act of His justice and great mercy for the righteous, will command His angels that all His enemies be put to death. Suddenly, the persecutors of the Church of Jesus Christ and all men devoted to sin will perish, and the earth will become like a desert.
He [the Antichrist NDLR] will be suffocated by the breath of Saint Michael the Archangel. He will fall, and the earth, which for three days [three years of the Antichrist's reign and the death of the Church NDLR] has been in continual flux, will open its bosom full of fire; he will be plunged forever with all his kind into the eternal abyss of hell. Then water and fire will purify the earth and consume all the works of human pride, and all will be renewed: God will be served and glorified.
Then there will be peace, God's reconciliation with mankind; Jesus Christ will be served, adored and glorified; charity will flourish everywhere. The new kings will be the right hand of the holy Church, which will be strong, humble, pious, poor, zealous and an imitator of the virtues of Jesus Christ.
L’Évangile sera prêché partout, et les hommes feront de grands progrès dans la foi, parce qu’il y aura unité parmi les ouvriers de Jésus-Christ et que les hommes vivront dans la crainte de Dieu.”
3/ Our own salvation
La certitude d’aller au ciel
C’est la grande promesse de Notre Dame à notre égard si nous suivons cinq fois de suite les 1ers samedis du mois. Nous rappelons ici ses paroles:
"All those who, for 5 months, on the first Saturday, confess, receive Holy Communion, recite a rosary and keep me company for fifteen minutes on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary, in the spirit of reparation, I promises to assist them at the hour of death with alls the graces necessary for the salvation of their souls. "
Our Lady, Pontevedra December 10, 1925
Deliverance from Purgatory (for wearing the scapular)
This promise is attached to the brown scapular*:
"He who dies clothed in this garment will be saved, and will never suffer the eternal fires. It is a sign of salvation, a safeguard in danger, a pledge of peace and eternal covenant.
If on the day of their passage into the next life, they (visit children of Carmel) are taken to purgatory, I will go down there on the Saturday following their death and deliver those I find there. and bring them back to the holy mountain and eternal life."
(*) The scapular is a reduction of the Carmelite religious habit, the shape and virtues of which were revealed to Saint Simon Stock in the 13th century. century. The scapular is made of brown wool. One side often features the SacredHeart and on the other, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, named after the mountain in Palestine. Pope Saint Pius X authorized the wearing of the scapular in the form of a medal when circumstances required.

Il veut régner dans son palais, être peint dans ses étendards et gravé dans ses armes, to make them victorious over all his enemies, by casting down at his feet these proud and superb heads, to make him triumphant over all the enemies of the Holy Church. "

This last promise for those who will carry out the first nine Fridays of the month is also an unheard-of grace given to us. It shows the power Christ bestows on the First Fridays of the month.
