TRUE STORY OF HOW OUR LADY KEPT HER FIRST SATURDAY DEVOTION PROMISE

WHEN HE DIED, IT SEEMED THAT OUR LADY HADN'T KEPT HER PROMISE... HE PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY

On Thursday, December 10, 1925, Our Lady promised to Sister Lucia (the oldest Fatima seer) that she would “…assist at the hour of death, with the graces necessary for salvation, all those who on the first Saturdays of five consecutive months go to confession, receive Holy Communion, pray a Rosary, and keep me company for a quarter of an hour meditating on the fifteen mysteries with the intention of offering me reparation.” 

This simply means that those making the Five First Saturdays will receive all the graces they need to go to Heaven before they die."

See in this story, one of the ways Our Lady had kept her promise...

A Woman narrated, how her husband had loved making the Five First Saturdays devotion. However, when he died, it seemed that Our Lady hadn't kept her promise… He passed away suddenly.

Here's the story...

One day a Man was traveling on a snowy road. Suddenly, he suffered a heart attack, lost control, and crashed. An ambulance arrived almost immediately but, unfortunately, the Man passed away enroute the hospital.

When his Wife arrived at the hospital, she received the sad news, and, unfortunately, she thought to herself, "without the benefits of the Sacrament of the Church"…apart from the obvious grief at such news, she was anxious as to the state of her husband's soul at that last moment.

Apparently, Our Lady hadn't kept her promise

Three months after her husband had been buried, a priest knocked on her door. The priest then related to her how, three months earlier, he had been driving behind her husband and saw him lose control of his car. The Priest said,

"I knew right away that he had experienced a heart attack and was in danger of dying. So i stopped, ran over and asked if he was a Catholic, your husband responded in the affirmation. He was in a lot of pain but was able to make a full confession. I heard his confession and gave him Last Rites before the ambulance arrived."

"But because I was on my way to say the Holy Mass, when the ambulance arrived, I left for the Church. When I heard that your husband had passed on the way to the hospital, I felt that it was necessary to pay a condolence visit and to let the family know that he had had the Last Rites. The medical facility, however, would not give me the family's information. Only after three months did someone at the hospital give me an address."

Indeed, Our Lady had kept her promise!
