Since 1994, devotees do the Communion of Reparation of First Saturdays, fulfilling the desire of Our Lady of Fatima. Being co-redemptors in the Mystical Body of Christ, having to “fill up those things that are wanting of the suffering of Christ, for His body the Church” (Col 1:24), such reparation offered vicariously by the living members of the Church on behalf of sinners. Also feasts, preceded by Novenas of Our Lady of Gloria and St. Simon and St. Jude, besides 13 May and 13 Oct are celebrated.
"Jesus' call to conversion and penance, like that of the prophets before Him, does not aim first at outward works, "sackcloth and ashes," fasting and mortification, but at the CONVERSION OF THE HEART, INTERIOR CONVERSION. Without this, such penances remain sterile and false; however, interior conversion urges expression in visible signs, gestures and works of penance. Interior repentance is a radical reorientation of our whole life, a return, a conversion to God with all our heart, an end of sin, a turning away from evil, with repugnance toward the evil actions we have committed. At the same time it entails the desire and resolution to change one's life, with hope in God's Mercy and Trust in the help of His Grace." - from the Catechism of the Catholic Church; 1430-31.
