《祈禱》 - 法蒂瑪玫瑰聖母九日敬禮
《祈禱》 - 法蒂瑪玫瑰聖母九日敬禮
當第一次世界大戰發生後三年，教宗本篤第十五，為阻遏戰火蔓延，於一九一七年五月五日通諭全球教友，吁禱聖母轉求天主，賜世界和平，且令在聖母德敘禱文內加（和平之后為我等祈）八日後聖母答允所求，在法蒂瑪（葡萄牙首都里斯本北11O公里村鎮名）向三位樸實牧童顯現。三童一名方濟年九歲，一名雅琴年七歲，系同胞兄妹，另一名露西年十歲，乃二人之表姐。聖母向他們顯現，前後凡六次，五月十三日，時間在正午，三童在依里亞（距法蒂瑪三公里今日大堂即建該處）草原牧羊，忽有一道奇光從天向其掃射，突於一棵小橡樹上，現一美女周身光芒四射，著雪白長衣，戴金綉披紗，領以金繩作結，直垂腰間，合掌胸前，右腕掛白玉經珠，赤足踐絳色朵雲，停落樹梢，聖母懿容略帶憂色，向三童說（你們不要害怕，我不會加害於你們，我乃從天上降來與你們，在每月十三日到此，至十月十三日，我將告訴你們，我為誰）並諄勸三童多念玫瑰經行祈禱刻苦補贖罪愆，交談約十分鐘然後向東方騰升不見，其後六月十三日即有六七十人，偕三童同往顯現地點，應聖母約七月十三巳約五千人，八月一萬五千餘人，是日三童因被市長拘禁兩日，聖母改十九日顯現，九月十三日聚集該處男女逾三萬人，十月十三日達七萬餘人，當日自晨至中午，大雨滂沱。雷電交加，但自各處來的人員，仍絡繹不絶。中午聖母如約降現，露西因問（妳為誰）聖母答說（我乃玫瑰經之后，我來此為警告信友改善生活，併為自己罪求天主寬恕，若如你們不聽從勸告，再侮辱吾主，因主蒙辱已甚矣）臨行揮手指日，頓時露西因見另一異像不禁脫口喊出（請觀天日）眾皆昂首瞻望，三童續見聖母出現日右，聖若瑟抱耶穌出現日左，聖嬰且舉手祝福民眾，前後聖母又以兩種不同形式出現，一為七苦聖母，一為聖衣聖母，群眾對此俱無所見，但見天日旋轉疾如火輪，五光十色，瞬息萬變，觀眾連稱奇蹟，一時情緒緊張，旨不約而同跪地捶胸悔罪，教會當局對法蒂瑪奇蹟慎重，將事經十三年詳細調查，始於一九三O年十月十三日發表文告，批准公開敬禮，從此法蒂瑪聖母敬禮逐漸在各地展開，本堂奉法蒂瑪聖母為主保，渥蒙慈寵難以盡述，特刊小冊以頌母德以揚母名。

The following is an explanation of the conditions contained in Our Lady's request regarding the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays of the Month.
Confess and receive Holy Communion
On February 15, 1926 the Child Jesus alone came to visit Sr. Lucia and asked if the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary was being propagated. Sr. Lucia spoke of a difficulty some people have in confessing on the first Saturday, and asked if they might be allowed eight days in order to fulfill Our Lady's requests. Jesus answered: "Yes, even more time still, as long as they receive Me in the state of grace and have the intention of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary."
Recite the Rosary
Five decades of the Rosary may be recited at any time or place; yet, since one will be attending Mass in order to receive Holy Communion, a very desirable time and place would be before or after Mass in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Meditation on the mysteries according to one's capacity is an essential condition for praying the Rosary. Yet, involuntary distractions do not rob the Rosary of fruit if one is doing the best he can.
"Keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary."
The question is often asked: Does the meditation while reciting the Rosary fulfill this condition, or is there required an additional fifteen minutes of meditation? That an additional 15 minutes of meditation is required was recently confirmed by Sr. Lucia of Fatima. It is clear too from a statement by the first Bishop of Fatima.
The last entry in the chronology of Fatima, published in the official Calendar of the Sanctuary for the year of 1940, and signed by Dom Jose Correia da Silva, the first Bishop of Fatima, gave a summary of Our Lady's requests concerning the Five First Saturdays. From that official statement in the Calendar of the Sanctuary, we read the Bishop's enumeration of the various items that pertain to the devotion of the five Saturdays:
It consists in going to Confession, receiving Communion, reciting five decades of the Rosary and meditating for a quarter of an hour on the mysteries of the Rosary on the first Saturday of five consecutive months. The Confession may be made during the eight days preceding or following the first Saturday of each month, provided that Holy Communion be received in the state of grace. Should one forget to form the intention of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, it may be formed at the next Confession, occasion to go to confession being taken at the first opportunity.
The meditation embraces one or more mysteries; it may even include all, taken together or separately, according to individual attraction or devotion; but it is preferable to meditate on one mystery each month.
Speaking of the requirement of "keeping me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary," the Bishop's comment that "it is preferable to meditate on one mystery each month" could apply only to an extra fifteen minutes, for each decade of the Rosary must have its own particular meditation. This is clear from the definition of the Rosary given in the official document of the Church on indulgences, the ENCHIRIDION OF INDULGENCES published by Pope Paul VI in 1968. It describes the Rosary as follows:
"The Rosary is a certain formula of prayer, which is made up of fifteen decades of HAIL MARYS with an OUR FATHER before each decade, and in which the recitation of each decade is accompanied by pious meditation on a particular mystery of our Redemption." (n. 48)
* * * * * * * * * *
Like the Rosary, this meditation may be made any time or place during the first Saturday. Yet again, like the Rosary, a very fitting time and place would be in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament before or after Mass. The question has been asked: "Would an extra Rosary, which would require about fifteen minutes, fulfill this request? It would seem, if fruitfully meditated, that it would. Or again, the time could be spent reading meditatively on one of the fifteen mysteries, which is a form of mental prayer that involves reading with frequent pauses to reflect on the matter read.
With the intention of making reparation.
All of the conditions mentioned above - in numbers 1 to 3 - should be fulfilled with the intention of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. On the occasion of the visit of the Child Jesus to Sr. Lucia (Feb. 16, 1926), she asked: "My Jesus, what about those who forget to make the intention?" Jesus answered: "They can do so at their next confession, taking advantage of their first opportunity to go to Confession."
The above are the minimum requirements for fulfilling the conditions of Our Lady's promise to obtain for us "at the hour of death the graces necessary for salvation." Yet, these Communions of reparation, as has been pointed out, are only a portion of the devotion of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These few pages are meant to help bring about a frame of mind and heart that will make us aware of the need of reparation all through the month, and not just on the first Saturday.
WHY FIVE SATURDAYS?
It is sometimes asked why Our Lady asked for Communions of reparation on five first Saturdays, instead of some other number. Our Blessed Lord answered that question when He appeared to Sr. Lucia May 29, 1930. He explained that it was because of five kinds of offenses and blasphemies against the Immaculate Heart of Mary, namely: blasphemies against her Immaculate Conception, against her perpetual virginity, against the divine and spiritual maternity of Mary, blasphemies involving the rejection and dishonoring of her images, and the neglect of implanting in the hearts of children a knowledge and love of this Immaculate Mother.
