ROSARY HOUR PODCAST TRANSCRIPT
[ZOSIA]: You are listening to the Rosary Hour Podcast...
“Welcome to “The Presentation Novena” a 9-day prayer from January 25th to February 2nd.
TODAY IS DAY 8: FEBRUARY 1st, 2025
[ZOSIA]: (DAY 8)
Let's begin: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit... Amen.
VIRGIN MOST COMPASSIONATE, when through your Divine Son you did fill the soul of Anna the prophetess with light, you did make her magnify the mercies of God by recognizing Jesus as the Redeemer of the world: enrich our souls with heavenly grace, that we may largely share the fruit of the Divine Redemption.
Most Merciful Jesus, we bring into the abode of Thy Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to Thee, and yet, who must make retribution to justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Thy Heart cool the flames of the purifying fire of love so that the power of Thy perfect mercy with justice may be praised.
From the heat of the cleansing fire rises a plaint to Thy mercy, and they receive comfort, refreshment, relief in the stream of Blood and Water into which we are baptized.
Eternal Father, turn Thy merciful gaze upon the souls in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. We beg Thee, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Thy Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded, manifest Thy mercy to the souls who are under just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way than through the Wounds of Jesus, Thy dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to the goodness and compassion of Thy Holy Spirit. Amen.

ADVANCING IN HOLINESS
FIRST SATURDAY DEVOTION, AUTHORED BY FR. JOSEPH AT THE NATIONAL SHRINE OF THE DIVINE MERCY
Reparations
Each First Friday and First Saturday of the month, we have the opportunity to “make a Communion of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary” (National Shrine of the Divine Mercy): “That’s what Jesus and Mary have asked of us: to repair the sins of the world with prayer and penance for the conversion of sinners and for peace throughout the world.”
If you are able, try to find the parish in your diocese which offers these devotions. If they are still unavailable, try inviting someone in your region to consider this invitation from the Marian Fathers:
I’m pleased to invite you to practice these devotions with us — the Marian Fathers. We are livestreaming special prayer services from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy. Tune in this First Saturday, Feb. 1, at 11:00 a.m. (EST) for a talk and devotions, and First Friday, Feb. 7, at 8:00 p.m. (EST); right here at TheDivineMercy.org, on YouTube at our channel Divine Mercy (Official), and on our Facebook page Divine Mercy (Official).
You can also watch on our streaming site, DivineMercyPlus.org.
According to the Marian Fathers:
“In order to rekindle the fire of love in the hearts of the faithful, Jesus introduced the First Fridays through revelations to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. Jesus said to receive Holy Communion on each First Friday in honor of and in reparation to His Sacred Heart. He made the following promise attached to this pious exercise: "I promise you in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who receive Holy Communion on the First Fridays of nine consecutive months the grace of final perseverance; they shall not die in my disgrace, nor without receiving their Sacraments. My Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment."They continue, stating that
“the First Saturdays devotion, it comes to us as a result of Our Lady’s apparitions to Servant of God Lucia dos Santos and her cousins at Fatima in 1917”. They cite the secret of Fatima, given July 13, 1917:
You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. ... I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace ... .
It continues:
We still haven’t seen the fulfillment of Our Lady’s promise that “In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.”The Marian Fathers continue:
According to Sr. Lucia, Pope St. John Paul II consecrated Russia to Mary’s Immaculate Heart on March 25, 1984. The USSR fell shortly afterwards. And yet there’s still not peace in the world. Why? Have we been faithful to her requests, especially the First Saturdays of Reparation? No, we have not.The TO DO LIST PROVIDED BY OUR LADY REGARDING 1ST SATURDAY
OUR LADY UTTERED:
“I promise to assist at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation all those who, in order to make reparation to me, on the First Saturday of five successive months:
Go to Confession
Receive Holy Communion
Recite five decades of the Rosary
Keep Mary company for 15 minutes while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary”
