Vision of Our Lady
 and the Child Jesus

Pontevedra, Dec. 10, 1925
-Jesus pleads compassion on the Heart of His Most Holy Mother.
-Mary's promises of first Saturdays

Eight years after Fatima's apparitions, Sister Lucia in her convent at Pontevedra, Spain, had an apparition of Our Lady which fulfilled her promise made at Fatima to regarding the specific requirements for the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays.

Sr. Lucia (writing in third person):
 "The Most Holy Virgin appeared to her (Sister Lucia), and by her (Mary's) side, elevated on a luminous cloud, was the Child Jesus. The Most Holy Virgin rested her hand on her (Sister Lucia's) shoulder and as she did so, she showed her a heart encircled by thorns, which She was holding in Her other hand. At the same time, the Child said: "'Have compassion on the Heart of your Most Holy Mother, surrounded with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce It at every moment, and there is no one to make an act of reparation to remove them.'"  Then the Most Holy Virgin said to Sister Lucia: "Look, My daughter at My Heart surrounded by thorns with which ungrateful men pierce Me at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You, at least, try to console Me and announce in My Name that I promise to assist at the moment of death, with all the graces necessary for salvation, all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive 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."
