ook, my daughter, at my Heart, surrounded with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce me at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You, at least, try to console me, and say to them 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 consecutive months, shall confess, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes while mediating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to me.” (words spoken by Our Lady to Sister Lucia of Fatima, Dec. 10, 1925)
