During a time of deep spiritual darkness, Elizabeth Kindelmann OCDS, heard the call:
“Go back to the Carmel.”
This was not a call to a place, but a return to the heart—
a deeper life of prayer, surrender, and union with God.
From that hidden life, a mission began.
The Sublime Mission of the Flame of Love
The Flame of Love is not simply a devotion—it is a mission entrusted to the Church for our time.
In the Spiritual Diary, the Blessed Virgin speaks about the Flame of Love spreading first from Carmel and igniting hearts throughout the world. She describes this mission as sublime, calling souls to collaborate in bringing the light of Christ into a world increasingly darkened by sin and confusion.
This mission begins in the interior life. As hearts are united more deeply with Jesus, the Flame of Love spreads quietly yet powerfully—blinding Satan, renewing families, strengthening the Church, and drawing countless souls back to God. This is heavens plan to reignite the entire church, heart to heart, a new Pentecost!
My Flame of Love will go forth from the Carmel.

Igniting Carmel!
This year, to fan the Flame into Carmel, we will send personal invitations across the country to Carmelite Monasteries. We are truly honored and delighted to welcome the Carmelites! We have made a number of tickets available to them at no cost at all of our conferences. In fact, we welcome all priests and religious to our events free and hope to provide materials as we are able.
If you are able, please consider helping us financially offset the FREE ticket to host a religious. Our national conferences serve as our primary fundraisers for the movement, and hosting large events have considerable costs involved. Even a small donation as you register for the event, can help us spread the Flame! Thank you. ❤️🔥
Come and rediscover the power of the interior life. Come and encounter the Flame of Love more deeply. Come and join this sublime mission for our time.
