The 10 Commandments Of God

First Saturday Prayers

First Saturday Devotion During the apparition of July 13, 1917, Our Lady said to Lucia, “I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays.” On Dec. 10, 1925, the Infant Jesus and Our Lady appeared to Sister Lucia, then a Dorothean religious, in Pontevedra, Spain.

During this centenary of those apparitions, we consider some perennial questions related to private revelation that pertain not only to Fátima but also to the other Church-approved appearances of Jesus and Mary, as well as how we may respond to what happened at the  Cova da Iria  a century ago. What is the difference between public revelation and private revelation? Public revelation is the Deposit of Faith, which includes sacred Scripture and the Apostolic Tradition. Private revelati...
