The Flame of Love Hail Mary

There are 4 Basic Prayers that are essential to the Flame of Love Movement: the Sign of the Cross, the Unity Prayer, the Hail Mary with the Flame of Love Petition, and the Prayer for the Propagation of the Flame of Love.

Prayer #3: The Hail Mary prayer with the important petition to blind Satan.

“When you say the prayer that honors me, the Hail Mary, include this petition in the following manner: ‘Hail Mary, full of grace… Pray for us sinners, spread the effect of grace of thy Flame of Love over all of humanity, now and at the hour of our death.  Amen.’”  (Spiritual Diary, page 101)

Mary has asked all of us (and Cardinal Peter Erdo, Primate of Hungary where the Movement began, has approved this as well) to add a special petition to the Hail Mary prayer in order to help accomplish this great blinding of Satan and the subsequent era of peace with the outpouring of the New Pentecost. 

On February 2, 1982, the Lord explained to Elizabeth: 

“It is exclusively thanks to the efficacious pleas of the Most Holy Virgin that the Most Holy Trinity granted the effusion of the Flame of Love.  By it, ask in the prayer with which you greet My Most Holy Mother: “Spread the effect of grace of thy Flame of Love over all of humanity, now and at the hour of death. Amen.‘ So that, by its effect, humanity is converted.”

(Spiritual Diary, page 101)

“Because grace is so important in our time – this time of great evil that literally threatens our existence and is wreaking havoc on our families – because Mary wants us to emphasize the importance and partake of the power of grace, she took a prayer that is so well know, the traditional Hail Mary, and added a plea for grace to create a new prayer – a prayer for our time – the Flame of Love Hail Mary with it’s powerful plea for grace:

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners,
Spread the effect of grace of your Flame of Love over all of humanity
Now and at the hour of our death.

Let me address the common concern that this is a change to the Hail Mary. Although it has often been explained this way, the official documents of the Movement are very clear that this is not a change to the Hail Mary but is its own prayer. “even though it starts from the traditional text of the Hail Mary it creates a new prayer, but it does not affect the original prayer and does not require anyone to change it” “We must mark, that the praying of the Hail Mary with the addition is neither a “correction of”, nor an “addition to” the original, nor some variant of it, but a self-sufficing prayer, independent from the original Ave Maria.” The Theological Examination Of The Spiritual Diary Of The Flame Of Love, Dr. Zoltán Kovács, Section 6.6.2.” flameoflove.info

Mary has asked us to plead for this outpouring of grace over all of humanity for that is the only way evil will finally be broken, her Immaculate Heart will triumph, and all the world drawn to her Divine Son, Jesus, the Prince of Peace. That is why she gave us this prayer which we then use to form the Flame of Love Rosary.

People rightly have a very beautiful respect and reverence for the Hail Mary and sometimes are hesitant to include the petition that Our Lady and Jesus are asking for.

The first version of the Hail Mary is shown in the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 1, The Archangel Gabriel reveals Mary’s identity when he speaks the Angelic Salutation. “Coming to her, he said, “Hail, Full of Grace, the Lord is with you.” At Mary’s Fiat, the Word became Flesh and the Flame of Love, Jesus Christ, entered into the world.

The Church’s early liturgies show the First Addition to the Hail Mary: In the Liturgy of St. James, dating back to the 4th century, the name of Mary and the words of Elizabeth to Mary at the Visitation are added to the Angelic Salutation.

As early as the 300’s, the words are recorded in Church documents: Hail Mary, full of Grace (highly favored) The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and Blessed is the fruit of your womb. Pope Gregory the Great (590-604) included this form of the Hail Mary as the Offertory Prayer of the Mass for the 4th Sunday of Advent. The Hail Mary remained in this form for over 900 years. By the 11th century, it became a popular prayer of the people and was commonly called the “Ave Maria” By the 1200s, the name “Jesus” was added after “fruit of thy womb” .

Approximately 200 years later, a 3rd addition was made to the Hail Mary. In 1495, the final petition was added to include: Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. This form of the Ave Maria was approved in 1568 by Pope Pius V when he inserted it into the Roman Breviary.

Now, in our current time, so full of disorder and separation from God, the Blessed Mother, herself, and Jesus, are asking us to add the petition that blinds Satan to the Hail Mary. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, spread the effect of grace of thy Flame of Love over all of humanity, now and at the hour of our death. Amen
