IN thy Conception, O Virgin Mary, thou wast immaculate; pray for us to the FATHER, whose SON JESUS CHRIST conceived of the HOLY GHOST thou didst bring forth.
IN Conceptione tua, Virgo Maria, immaculata fuisti; ora pro nobis PATREM, cujus FILIUM JESUM de SPIRITU SANCTO conceptum peperisti.
100 Days, each time said.

FIRST SATURDAY of DECEMBER 💙
“See my daughter, how my heart is encircled 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 that I promise to assist at the hour of death, with the graces necessary for salvation, all those who on the First Saturdays of five consecutive months, confess, receive Holy Communion, recite part of My Rosary, and keep me company for a quarter of an hour, meditating on its mysteries with the intention of offering me reparation.” ~ Words of Our Lady to Sr. Marie (Lucia dos Santos) on December 10, 1925
If possible, make First Saturday devotions today, in reparation for offenses against the Immaculate Heart of Mary, as requested by Our Lady herself in 1925, and confirmed by Our Lord in 1927.

Prayer to Our Lady Immaculate
MOST holy Virgin, who wast pleasing to the Lord and became his Mother, immaculate in body and spirit, in faith and in love, look kindly on the wretched who implore thy powerful patronage. The wicked serpent, against whom was hurled the first curse, continues fiercely to attack and ensnare the unhappy children of Eve. Do thou, then, O Blessed Mother, our Queen and advocate, who from the first instant of thy Conception didst crush the head of the enemy, receive the prayers which, united with thee in one single heart, we implore thee to present at the throne of God, that we may never fall into the snares which are laid out for us, and may all arrive at the port of salvation; and, in so many dangers, may the Church and Christian society sing once again the hymn of deliverance, of victory, and of peace.
Amen.
