Nuestra Señora nos hace un llamado. Ministerio del Santo Rosario de la diócesis de Fresno. La devoción del primer sábado del mes.
En filial amor a nuestra San sima madre, en nuestro deseo por la paz en el mundo y la conversión de los pecadores, los feligreses
están invitados a unirse a la devoción de la observación a los cinco primeros sábados del mes. La "Devoción a [María], la madre del
Señor es un elemento integral del culto Cris ano"— Papa Paul VI, en la exhortación apostólica, Marialis Cultus. “El Rosario, cuando
se reza de manera autén ca no mecánicamente ni superficialmente, sino profundamente, trae paz y reconciliación, Con ene el
poder sanador del Santo nombre de Jesús al invocarse cada Avemaría con fe & amor en el corazón." – Papa emérito Benedicto XVI,
Mayo ' 08. El 13 de Julio de 1917, en Fá ma, Portugal, "Nuestra Señora del Rosario" mostró a los tres videntes Lucía, Jacinta y
Francisco una visión del infierno, " a donde van las almas de los pobres pecadores." Ella dijo a los niños: "para salvarlos, Dios desea
establecer en el mundo la devoción a mi corazón inmaculado. Si hacen lo que he dicho, se salvarán muchas almas y habrá paz".
Más tarde, en 1925, nuestra señora de Fá ma le dijo a Lucía la manera de hacer una comunión de reparación durante los cinco
primeros sábados del mes. 1. ir a la confesión (dentro de 8 días antes o después del primer sábado) 2. Recibir la Sagrada Comunión.
3. Recitar cinco décadas del Rosario. 4. "Hacerme compañía durante quince minutos meditando sobre los quince misterios del
Rosario" (aparte del Rosario) * la intención específica de esta devoción es hacer reparación por las ofensas contra la San sima
Virgen: 1. pecados contra la Concepción Inmaculada de María; Mary calls us all. FromThe Ministry of the Most Holy Rosary of the
Diocese of Fresno May 2016 2. pecados contra la virginidad perpetua de María; 3. los ataques sobre la maternidad divina de María
y el rechazo de aceptarla como madre de toda la humanidad; 4. pecados come dos por promover públicamente en los corazones
de los hombres, indiferencia desprecio y odio por María Inmaculada; 5. Pecados come dos por insultos hechos directamente a
imágenes sagradas de nuestra San sima madre. Cuando se le preguntó acerca de la importancia del Escapulario, Sor Lucía
respondió, "el Rosario y el escapulario son inseparables". Ministerio del Santo Rosario de la diócesis de Fresno.
