“To a great extent the level of any civilization is the level of its womanhood. When a man loves a woman, he has to become worthy of her. The higher her virtue, the more noble her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice, goodness, the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her. The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its women.” Venerable Fulton Sheen
In the early morning hours of September 18, 2025, I had a very vivid dream. In my dream I was in a big giant circular church that had stained glass windows but they were devoid of any pictures of Saints, it was like a mishmash of broken glass pieces with no story to tell. This church was huge and I was there for a Mass. Except it wasn’t a Mass. I could see Bishops and Cardinals of the Church and there was talk of sharing a meal with God’s people, but there was no Holy Sacrifice, no offering to the Father by the Son through the Holy Spirit. It was a fake Mass and fake worship. I could see and hear whispering serpents. Christ was not the center of this. In fact, He wasn’t mentioned at all. It was totally focused on people, not on Christ. There was no effort by Catholics to convert. And the world outside was chaos.
I could also see that there were these places, more private and more hidden, with Priests saying real Mass, sometimes alone in a secluded room. Their interior posture was one of intercession. They were interceding trying to make the bride of the church beautiful again, not because they thought themselves better, but because they saw themselves as so small next to the good and gracious God that they poured all that they had into loving Him.
This has been a recurring theme for me. That there will come a time when the Eucharist is removed in the name of Ecumenism. Ecumenism is a noble cause to pursue, but not to the detriment of leaving behind the great commission.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
As I went to prayer today, I pondered this, and I felt the Lord speaking to me.
“The era of the Holy Spirit will be the era of the Heart of Mary in My people. This is the triumph. Make reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and families will be healed and order will be restored.”
There is an urgency and a hope in looking to Mary. The level of the Woman, who is Mary, is the ushering in of the Divine Will, which lived in her from her conception to her natural death and beyond. When we honor Mary, we give glory to God. It isn’t as if when we honor holy people it takes something away from the being of God. God is ALL being, and honoring those who honor Him, brings greater glory to everyone.
Heaven has advised us many times to make reparation. I grow disappointed these days when I see no First Saturday Mass or promotion of it at our parishes. As devotion decreases, as the liturgy is abused, society has become violent. There is a direct connection between these things. The woman (the church) has become so secularized and casual she has lost her dignity. But the message of Fatima still resounds.
The first 5 Saturdays make reparation for the blasphemies against THE WOMAN, Mary, who is also the archetype of the church. She is a whole and healed human person, and this is what God wants for us. We need to honor her and make reparation for;
- Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception
- Blasphemies against her virginity
- Blasphemies against her divine maternity, at the same time the refusal to accept her as the Mother of all men
- Instilling indifference, scorn and even hatred towards this Immaculate Mother in the hearts of children
- Direct insults against Her sacred images
If we want the heart of Mary to triumph and an era of peace in the church, we must on the First Saturday during 5 Consecutive Months:
- Go to Confession,
- Receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion,
- Say five decades of the Rosary,
- Meditate for 15 minutes on the mysteries of the Rosary.
For those who cannot do this because it isn’t offered to you, remember what Our Lady asked in Medjugorje. She asked that we pray all the Mysteries of the Rosary each day. When the people grumbled, she said we don’t have a time problem, we have a love problem.
I often find that we, the People of God, often look at things backwards, and often make bad decisions. I used to think, how am I going to fit all this prayer into my day. Now I ask, how will I fit my day into my prayer. Make your life a liturgy and you will find a way, with the grace of God, to be a servant of the Lord while He ushers in the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
Your strong faith in the intercessory power of Our Blessed Mother has inspired me over the years. Thank you !
I was inspired this year to do the First Saturdays devotion on my own. The World Apostolate of Fatima is very helpful with a “Passport” to guide our way. Here is the link: https://www.bluearmy.com/great-promise-passport/
It’s a great idea to help track the first saturdays with a form, but the one you have linked seems inaccurate to me.
The rosary must be said, not just prayed silently. From “Fatima In Lucia’s Own Words—Sister Lucia’s Memoirs” pg 194.
“Look, my daughter, at my Heart, surrounded with thorns with
which ungrateful men pierce me every moment by their blasphe-
mies and ingratitude. You at least try to console me and say that I
promise to assist at the hour of death, with the graces necessary
for salvation, all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecu-
tive months, shall confess, receive Holy Communion, recite five
decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes
while meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary, with the
intention of making reparation to me.”
I’ve asked them to update the form, which otherwise seems helpful.
Regards, Dan
There is also this prayer on the Carmelite Monestary site devoted to the Holy Face.
An Act of Reparation for Blasphemies Against the Blessed Virgin Mary
Most glorious Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, turn your eyes in pity upon us, miserable sinners; we are sorely afflicted by the many evils that surround us in this life, but especially do we feel our hearts break within us upon hearing the dreadful insults and blasphemies uttered against you, O Virgin Immaculate.
We desire to love you and to honor you with all our hearts, O most holy Mother, since this is the will of God. And just because we love you, we will do all that is in our power to make you honored and loved by all men. In the meantime may you, our merciful Mother, the supreme comforter of the afflicted, accept this our act of reparation which we offer you for ourselves and for our families, as well as for those who impiously blaspheme you, not knowing what they say. May you obtain for them from Almighty God the grace of conversion, and thus render more manifest and more glorious your kindness, your power, and your great mercy. May they join with us in proclaiming you blessed among women, the Immaculate Virgin, and most compassionate Mother of God.
HAIL MARY said three times.
I can confirm what you’re receiving. I received it about 8 months ago…to pray in reparation for the sins of the Protestants against the Blessed Mother because it is grave and is actually hindering them from receiving the full truth. The Lord is not pleased, but is allowing mercy because of their ignorance.
Thank you for the prayer.
