“You, at least, strive to console me.” – Time is Running Out to Respond to Our Lady’s Call

Nearly 100 years ago, on December 10, 1925, a quiet miracle unfolded in the small Spanish city of Pontevedra. Sister Lucia, the last surviving seer of Fatima, was staying with the Dorothean Sisters when she received an extraordinary vision. Before her appeared the Blessed Virgin Mary, radiant and sorrowful, with the Child Jesus at her side. Our Lady held in her hand a Heart encircled with thorns—a vivid symbol of the pain caused by the blasphemies, sins, and ingratitude of mankind.

With sorrow in His voice, the Child Jesus spoke:

“Have pity on the Heart of your Most Holy Mother, which is covered with thorns that ungrateful men drive into it at every moment, without anyone making an act of reparation to remove them.”

Then Our Lady, showing her wounded Heart, said:

“See, my daughter, My Heart surrounded by thorns with which ungrateful men pierce it constantly with blasphemies and ingratitude. You, at least, strive to console me.”

Our Lady then continued:

“Announce that I promise to assist at the hour of death with all the graces necessary for salvation all who, for five consecutive first Saturdays, go to Confession, receive Communion, pray five decades of the Rosary, and meditate for fifteen minutes on its mysteries with the intention of making reparation to Me.”

Sister Lucia later documented this vision in a letter to Monsignor Manuel Pereira Lopes, her former confessor during her time at the Asylum of Vilar in Oporto, Portugal.

Why Now?

Men, look around. The world is spiraling deeper into moral confusion. Families are broken. Men are absent. Churches are empty. Blasphemies are louder, and reverence grows cold. We were warned that if Our Lady’s requests were not heeded, Russia would spread her errors, nations would suffer, and the Church herself would face persecution. These things are no longer warnings of the future—they are the headlines of today.

And yet, Our Lady gave us the remedy—a humble, sacrificial devotion, done in silence, done with love, done with faith.

Why the Five First Saturdays?

Because there are five kinds of offenses and blasphemies committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary:
1. Blasphemies against her Immaculate Conception
2. Against her perpetual virginity
3. Against her divine maternity, refusing to accept her as the Mother of God and of men
4. Against those who seek publicly to implant in children’s hearts indifference, scorn or even hatred of this Immaculate Mother
5. And those who directly insult her holy images

This devotion is not just an act of private piety—it is an act of reparation. A manly stand against the sins of the world. A way to say, “I will not be indifferent. I will not let the Mother of God suffer alone.”

The Final Hour of the Century

Brothers, August 2025 is the last First Saturday you can begin this devotion and complete it within the 100-year window of the original request. This centenary moment is a divine invitation—a door of grace flung open. Will you walk through it?

Let us not waste this final hour. Let us not be among the ungrateful. Let us rise—as knights, as fathers, as Catholic men—and respond to Our Lady’s plea.

Let us console the Heart of our Mother.

Let us make reparation.
Let us defend her honour.
Let us receive the graces she longs to obtain for us.

The time has come. Time may be running out but God’s grace does not.

Do not let this unique opportunity pass you by. Begin this August.

Knights, men of courage and fidelity, let us rise to this call. Let us not be counted among the indifferent or ungrateful. Let us, at least, strive to console her. Be among those who hear: “You, at least, strive to console me.”

To Jesus through Mary
