FLAME OF LOVE IGNITION PRAYERS

Divine Charity calls us to ACTION. Help us blind Satan through your prayers on Election Day.

• A Novena of Unity Prayers (9) at the top of every hour, starting first thing in the morning. Begin at the top of the hour according to the time you awake and go to bed. Be intentional with this, so that we may be unified. Perhaps setting an alarm will help, but if you aren’t able to offer 9 Unity Prayers, please join in at least one Unity Prayer at the top of each hour. Jesus to Elizabeth: “This prayer is an instrument in your hands. By collaborating with Me, Satan will be blinded by it; and because of his blindness, souls will not be led into sin.” 
• Offer an Hour of Eucharistic Adoration for the atonement of the sins committed in our families, communities and nation. Mary to Elizabeth: “My little one, you are the first one showered by the effect of my Flame of Love full of grace, and in union with you, I am extending it to all the souls. Whenever someone does adoration in a spirit of atonement or visits the Blessed Sacrament, as long as it lasts, Satan loses his dominion on the parish souls. Blinded, he ceases to reign on souls.”
• Join us on YouTube at 12pm ET to pray the Flame of Love Rosary for our Nation.

As we approach the 60th quadrennial presidential election in the United States on November 5, 2024, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment. This election is not just another political event; it represents a critical juncture where our freedoms and liberties risk being redefined, straying further from the Natural Law of God. This law, which reflects the dignity of the human person, serves as the foundation for our fundamental rights and responsibilities.

The Catechism describes natural law as a moral compass “written and engraved in the soul of each and every man.” It is a divine gift that empowers us to discern between good and evil, truth and falsehood. As St. Thomas Aquinas articulated, “The natural law is nothing other than the light of understanding placed in us by God; through it we know what we must do and what we must avoid.”

In our current cultural climate, divine charity emerges as a powerful antidote to the pervasive sins of greed and lust. While both sins threaten the fabric of our society, it is the sin of greed that warrants particular attention as we approach this election. Greed is prevalent today, so entrenched in our culture, that people are now commodities, easily canceled if they aren’t staying confined in the box of our own limitations. These limitations are often our narrow scope of who God is and who we are, as His Children.

We must embrace rightly ordered charity, one that does not enable harmful behaviors or speak falsehoods for the sake of popularity. Divine Charity compels us to confront difficult truths and take courageous actions. “A Christianity of charity without truth would be more or less interchangeable with a pool of good sentiments, helpful for social cohesion, but of little relevance. In other words, there would no longer be any real place for God in the world. Without truth, charity is confined to a narrow field devoid of relations.” Taken from CARITAS IN VERITATE, which is a great encyclical letter from Pope Benedict XVI that explores INTEGRAL HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN CHARITY AND TRUTH .

Have we allowed our nation to become defined by its sins? Greed is not our identity; neither is enslavement. We cannot claim true freedom or liberation until we invite the Father into the deepest parts of our souls—our hearts and wounds. This means also allowing those we believe are beyond His reach to enter into our lives and share His love with them.

The Blessed Virgin Mary, who is Divine Charity Herself, intercedes for all of God’s children. This is HER TIME to shine like never before! Through Mother Mary, we can enter into His Sacred Heart and conquer sin in the battle for our souls because we are fortified by the Blinding Grace of the Flame of Love. this helps us to love difficult souls in our lives, with a rightly ordered love, which is rooted in the virtues of the Holy Spirit.

Mary promises, “My Flame of Love will sweep away with uproar the distrust of souls. Encountering no resistance, the Flame will illumine souls with a gentle light. Those accepting the Flame of Love will be intoxicated by the abundance of graces and will proclaim everywhere that such a torrent of grace has never been granted since the Word became Flesh.”

The Blessed Virgin Mary has obtained for us this “torrent of grace”, as a gift from the Father, through the merits of the wounds of Jesus Christ. This is an extraordinary gift for these extraordinary times. The graces of the Flame of Love lead us back to the Father, uniting us in Him and blinding the forces of evil. This eternal love, ignited first through the Immaculate Conception, and now within Her Immaculate Heart, calls us to action!

We are in a fierce battle for the souls of our nation, and the complacency we once felt is giving way to a simmering urgency. As we prepare for this pivotal election, let us pray that Divine Charity, rooted in the truth of the Holy Spirit, be ignited and that the dignity and protection of every soul will be enshrined, not only within the Natural Laws of our souls, but in the Laws of our Nation. Remember our true identity in God and when tempted to hate the sinner, let’s strive to live out His love so we can be light and hope to a nation that desperately needs it.

Please further dedicate yourself to the spreading of the Flame of Love on Election Day, November 5^th, and unite to pray for the mercy of God over our nation, and rededicate our hearts to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

United in the Flame of Love,

Today’s Holy Readings on this Feast of the Transfiguration offer us a contemplative image of FIRE and LIGHT. Jesus becomes transfigured by God the Father as a witness of hope to Peter, James and John. We know this because in the Gospel of Mark, Chapter 8, we learn about the state of the disciples; hungry, seeking signs and wonders, and ultimately a denial from Peter, who Jesus reprimands by saying “get behind me Satan.”

The Transfiguration of the Lord is foreshadowing of the fulfillment of the Law and His Resurrection. Jesus is always encouraging us in our journey of faith and the Transfiguration can teach us so many things, but focusing in on the imagery that is used in today’s readings we read about the FIRE and LIGHT of God.

St. Irenaeus wrote “The light of the Father passes into the flesh of Christ; and from Christ it shines forth upon us, so that each of us is enfolded” (Against Heresies, 4.20.2). He goes further to say that as we behold God’s light, we come to partake in it: “Just as those who see the light are within the light and participate in its splendor, so those who see God are within God and participate in His splendor” (Against Heresies, 4.20.5).

God’s grace and light shine through our weak human nature and transform us into who God created us to be, essentially “little christs” as CS Lewis coined.

We know that light and fire purify us, The Psalmist describes God testing Israel as through fire: “For thou, O God, hast tested us; thou hast tried us as silver is tried . . . we went through fire and through water” (Ps. 66:10,12). Isaiah describes God’s redemption of Israel in a similar way, saying that God will cleanse Jerusalem and the daughters of Zion by “a spirit of judgment and by a spirit of burning” (Isa. 4:4). The seraphim in Isaiah 6:6-7 purifies the “guilt” of Isaiah and takes away his sins by touching his lips with a ‘burning coal’.

The Flame of Love of Mary’s Immaculate Heart has an effect on our souls that purifies us, so that we are able to embrace our cross and enter into the sacrificial life of Christ. This great grace, if we accept it, brings to light our sin and our need of God. It purifies our motives, our desires and our soul because we receive Mary’s Love of Jesus into our hearts.  

“The water of My graces, like a stream, flows continually into your soul. Now is the moment to tell you why these abundant graces remain in your soul. By your sacrifices, you have dug a deep channel and the water of My divine graces, with its purifying power, has found a place in your soul. If you had not prepared this deep channel by your sacrifices, the purifying water of My graces would have drained off.” (Jesus, Blue Diary, pg. 234)

When we allow ourselves to be transformed by grace, those who are in the darkness of sin are easier to understand, much like what we read in Mark’s Gospel, Chapter 8… dubious, dissatisfied, legalistic, sign seeking, etc… It becomes clear that this is not about us, but about their blindness and woundedness. Like Jesus, we should desire their healing and offer what encouragement we can and pray for them.

When we look at the state of the world, we see a spiritual blindness in the hearts of God’s Children. This is where we must lean into GODLY LOVE and spread and invoke the Flame of Love. The mark of true love is willing the spiritual good of the other which can only be rooted in truth. Love without truth is not of God and we need courage and heroic virtue to love this way. We need Mary’s love in our hearts to love in this way.

A few weeks ago, when we attended the National Eucharistic Congress, 60,000 people experienced the transformative light of Christ, rooted in truth and people were healed. Healed of unworthiness, unforgiveness, and pride. Hearts were alive and beating for the Eucharistic LIGHT and the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

We prayed and gave the Flame of Love grace to thousands of people, we gave away hundreds of Elizabeth’s Spiritual Diaries, thousands of Unity Prayer cards and along with the other 60+ thousand we thought… “let’s build a tent!”

Receive the Flame of Love! Be not afraid of being transformed by the divine light of Mary’s Flame. She is gentle, yet powerful, and Her Flame of Love will put out the fire of hatred, not only in our own hearts but in the entire world.

Mary: “With this Flame full of graces that I give you from my heart, ignite all the hearts of the entire country.  Let this flame go from heart to heart.  This is the miracle becoming the blaze whose dazzling light will blind Satan.  This is the fire of love of union which I obtained from the Heavenly Father through the merits of the wounds of my Divine Son.” (Blue Diary, pg. 28)

Be a spark!

“There, with Him, may the eyes of our mind shine with His light and the features of our soul be made new; may we be transfigured with Him and molded to His image, ever become divine, being transformed in an ever greater degree of glory.” St. Anastasius of Sinai

Pentecost ushered in a new age of the Church through which Christ worked in a different means for our salvation. Can Christ offer “new wine” for our salvation even today?

Absolutely God can and is, through the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The first communication of Our Blessed Mother to Elizabeth Kindelmann, describes this miraculous gift of grace, which renews and purifies hearts, that She obtained for every soul on the face of the planet.

“With this Flame full of graces that I give you from my heart, ignite all the hearts of the entire country.  Let this flame go from heart to heart.  This is the miracle becoming the blaze whose dazzling light will blind Satan.  This is the fire of love of union which I obtained from the Heavenly Father through the merits of the wounds of my Divine Son.”

Mary to Elizabeth in the Spiritual Diary Pg 28

Jesus later adds…

 “By her [Mary’s] powerful intercession, she obtained from Me for families this great effusion of grace, which she also wants to extend to the whole world. As she said: ‘Nothing comparable to this has happened ever since the Word became Flesh.’ Pg 187

The outpouring of this grace, blinds satan as Mother Mary, through Her Maternal Heart and the Holy Spirit, gives us Her love of God to liberate us and form Christ in Our Hearts. Mary offers us New Wineskins to prepare for the New Wine.

“She places the healing power of her maternal goodness at the root of evil. She did not want to perform a spectacular miracle as does occur in the large famous sanctuaries of the world, giving rise to great admiration. She wants every family to be a sanctuary, a wonderful place where, in union with you, she works miracles in the depth of hearts. Going from heart to heart, she places in your hands the Flame of Love of her heart. Through your prayers and sacrifices, it will blind Satan who wants to rule over families.”

Satan’s attack on families and souls is no match for Mary’s Immaculate Heart… the Triumph is Coming!

“He spoke to me at length about the time of grace and the Spirit of Love quite comparable to the first Pentecost, flooding the earth with its power. That will be the great miracle drawing the attention of all humanity. All that is the effusion of the effect of grace of the Blessed Virgin’s Flame of Love. The earth has been covered in darkness because of the lack of faith in the soul of humanity and therefore will experience a great jolt. Following that, people will believe. This jolt, by the power of faith, will create a new world. Through the Flame of Love of the Blessed Virgin, faith will take root in souls, and the face of the earth will be renewed, because “nothing like it has happened ever since the Word became Flesh.” The renewal of the earth, although flooded with sufferings, will come about by the power of intercession of the Blessed Virgin.”

Elizabeth, from the Spiritual Diary Pg 149

Saint Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis have all spoken about the coming of and need for a new Pentecost.

Do you believe that a New Pentecost can occur through the Spouse of the Holy Spirit?

“Mary has been unknown up till now, and that is one of the reasons why Jesus Christ is not known as he should be. If then, as is certain, the knowledge and the kingdom of Jesus Christ must come into the world, it can only be as a necessary consequence of the knowledge and reign of Mary. She who first gave him to the world will establish his kingdom in the world.”

St Louis de Montfort, Total Consecration

Do you believe a new Pentecost can occur with your YES and desire to be made new?

“My little one, my Flame of Love has become so incandescent that I want to spread on you not only its light, but also its warmth with all its power. My Flame of Love is so great that I can no longer keep it within me; it leaps out at you with explosive force. My love that is spreading will overcome the satanic hatred that contaminates the world so that the greatest number of souls is saved from damnation. I am confirming there has never been anything like this before. This is my greatest miracle ever I am accomplishing for all. (She begged me not to misunderstand her.) My words are clear as crystal and easy to understand, hence do not create confusion with misinterpretations. Your responsibility then would be great if you ever did this. Get to work, do not be lazy. I will help you in an almost miraculous way, and my help will always continue. Trust me. Act quickly. Do not put off my Cause to another day.

            Satan does not look on with his arms folded, he is making enormous efforts. He already feels that my Flame of Love is lighting. This provoked his terrible fury.

Mary to Elizabeth Kindelmann pg. 99 of the Spiritual Diary

All will feel its authenticity within their hearts. Whoever has felt it once will communicate it to others because my grace will be active in them. There is no need for authentication. I will authenticate it myself in every soul so that all recognize the effusion of grace of my Flame of Love.”

Mary to Elizabeth Kindelmann pg. 99 of the Spiritual Diary

Come Holy Spirit, come by means of the power of the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary!

Happy Pentecost!

Jill Metz

Alleluia! Happy and Blessed Easter!  

As a Catholic Convert, the season of Lent has been a time of great warfare and blessing for me. I recall very vividly, as a Catechumen, times of deep darkness, unlike anything I had experienced before. I would sometimes be paralyzed by fear with the thoughts that would enter my mind. Thoughts of unworthiness, rejection, shame and yes, even despair.

After entering the Church, I became the RCIA Coordinator for many years. God knew I needed more formation, and I certainly could relate to those entering the Church. What I didn’t understand as a Catechumen, I saw clearly as a Coordinator, that when we are giving God our FIAT, moving into a new season of the Spiritual Life, we will become a target for the evil one.

I could see this warfare rise up most fiercely in the RCIA process during the Third, fourth and Fifth weeks of Lent, otherwise known as the Scrutinies. The purpose of the Scrutinies is “to uncover, then heal all that is weak, defective, or sinful” in the hearts of the Elect and to “strengthen all that is upright, strong, and good.” (Quotes from Ritual Text for Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, paragraph #141)

The Scrutinies are about examining our heart and allowing God into those places in us that are wounded, scared, disordered, and maybe even hidden from our minds. They prepare us for The Eucharist banquet, taking us from the darkness of our sin, into the Light of Christ.

It’s amazing to me to see this same type of process and warfare as people come to receive and understand the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. While it’s not a sacrament and should not be regarded as such, it is a powerful torrent of GRACE. Our Lady says…

“I assure you, my little one, that I have never before given into your hands such a powerful force of grace, the burning flame of the love of my heart. Ever since the Word became Flesh, I have not undertaken a greater movement than the Flame of Love of my heart who rushes to you.”

Page 60 of the Spiritual Diary

People come into this outpouring of grace and become exposed to a new fire, one that will illuminate our need for healing and show us our weaknesses and our defects so as to transform us. Transformation is hard because it requires us to allow God to bring us into His Light and change us. We give our lives to Him so He can Give us His Life. This is the heart of the Christian journey, union with God. But what is very different is that the graces of this Flame of Love truly do blind satan, IF we enter into Mary’s Immaculate Heart. If we try and receive these graces without Mary’s help, we will turn away…and many do because they want the grace without being prepared to receive it. They want the new heart, free of the charge, but they want the “transplant” to be painless and we know that love doesn’t work that way.

Love will call us to transformation and transformation will call us to sacrifice and we will need grace to respond to any of it! The Flame of Love of Mary’s Immaculate Heart is that grace, the grace that we need to repent and amend our lives so that we can make reparation for the sins against God. This is the mission of what Mother Mary called us to at Fatima.

Catholics receive a great gift in the Eucharist, where Jesus Christ enters us and transforms us. I love the sacraments of the Catholic Church and I’m deeply grateful that I was able to respond and persevere with grace in becoming a Catholic. But, not everyone is able to receive the Sacraments and not everyone is receiving them worthily. So Jesus and Mary have made a way, through Divine Mercy and The Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, where mercy and grace flow down from Heaven for all souls who will receive AND share. Grace and mercy are actions and we are missionaries of love.

As a Universal Church, we understand that we are entering into the Passion. I wonder, can we look at this time and this grace with the same efficacy as The Scrutinies? Perhaps it’s a stretch, or just maybe it’s the perfect comparison. It’s for you to discern. But if you are a Christian, no one can deny that Mary is the Mother of God, and that Jesus came to us from her virginal and perfect womb to save us from our sins, and that He rose again to give us a new life. I believe that now, Mary is giving us Christ through Her Immaculate Heart to purify us and prepare the world for His Eucharistic Reign and the Resurrection of the Church.

“The earth has been covered in darkness because of the lack of faith in the soul of humanity and therefore will experience a great jolt. Following that, people will believe. This jolt, by the power of faith, will create a new world. Through the Flame of Love of the Blessed Virgin, faith will take root in souls, and the face of the earth will be renewed, because “nothing like it has happened ever since the Word became Flesh.” The renewal of the earth, although flooded with sufferings, will come about by the powerful intercession of the Blessed Virgin.”

Jesus – Page 149 of the Spiritual Diary

I encourage us to listen very intently to the Readings tonight during the Great Easter Vigil and reflect upon the state of humanity and the state of our own hearts. What is the profit Ezekiel telling God’s people?! Does it apply to us today?

The Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary blinds satan and resurrects Jesus in our souls! Enter into the fire of the Triune Love and ask Mary to give you the Heart and Spirit of God.

May our feet journey together!

Jill Metz

US National Director, servant, sister, and daughter of Jesus and Mary.

PS… Enjoy your Easter season! I encourage you to stay rooted in the weekly Agenda, daily Flame of Love Rosary and prayers, and the sacrifice of meat on Fridays. Yes, we are an alleluia people AND we are part of Mary’s Special Fighting Force for souls, so keep up the good fight!

“You must dedicate yourselves to blind Satan. The coordinated forces of the entire world are necessary to accomplish this. Do not delay because someday you will be called to account for the work entrusted to you, for the fate of a multitude of souls. I do not want even one soul damned. Satan will be blinded inasmuch as you work against him.”

Mary- page 176 of the Spiritual Diary

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

On behalf of myself, John Sullivan, Fr. Jorge Reyes, and Victoria Palmer, I want to extent to you our sincere gratitude for your prayers for the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Extraordinary International Congress which took place on March 1st – 7th, 2024 in Singapore. The purpose of this Congress was twofold, to elect new International Coordinators and to make revisions to our current Statutes.

After an almost 29 hour flight schedule to Singapore, we were met with the most amazing welcome of hospitality and generosity from Flame of Love Singapore Leaders and Devotees! National Director, Adeline Quek, Spiritual Director , Rev. Fr. Paul Ngo, MEP and the entire Singapore team had been prayerfully planning for the event for almost 6 month, and it showed. As a global Movement, we are grateful!!

Singapore Team

There were over 20 Countries who gathered and this was by far the greatest representation and confirmation at how fast the Flame of Love has recently spread. Nations joined together as One, with representation from many countries such as… Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil, Democratic Republic of Congo, France, Canada, Poland, Australia, Ireland, Philippines, United Kingdom, and more! Within only a few years, Our Blessed Mother has inflamed Her Movement with hundred, perhaps thousands of new members around the globe. Győző Kindelmann, Grandson of Elizabeth Kindelmann and former International Director, gave us an opening message that spoke about the need for renewal, not only in the Flame of Love Movement , but in the entire Church.

” I believe that the time for new wine in our Movement has come! This is not a sign of sickness or weakness! It is a sign of vitality and dynamism! … I see the signs of rebirth! … I believe that our Movement will really move when everyone from the National Coordinators to the Cenacle Leaders recognizes the need for renewal. “

From Győző Kindelmann, addresses the 2024 International Congress

To further open the Congress we were blessed to celebrate Mass with His Eminence William Cardinal Goh of Singapore, who gave a very powerful homily expressing his love and devotion to Our Blessed Mother. ( Video below… notice the beautiful vestments!)

Right away, we got to work! Each day gathering together to look intently at our statues and how to prepare for the new wine being poured out into the Movement. We were blessed to have with us in attendance for the week, Canon Law expert Bishop Arulselvam Rayappan of Salem diocese in India who guided us through the process and lovingly corrected our steps when we got off course. We took into account our former Statues as well as some guidance from Cardinal Erdo and after several days, we were satisfied with the revisions. Additionally we added 4 new Resolutions and these updates are now being formulated by a Canon Lawyer and will be shared in the near future.

Working together on the Statues

Watch as Bishop “Roy” shares a blessing and message for the USA…

After 4 days of gathering for Holy Mass, breaking bread together during meals, and often painstakingly long meetings about statues, all the delegates were treated with a tour of Singapore, in particular, 3 Catholic Churches. We all enjoyed the change of scenery and fellowship with one another as we flocked through the city, spreading the Flame of Love, as Mother Mary’s Children.

Finally, the day came to elect two new leaders, an International and Assistant International Coordinator. Before the election, we celebrated Holy Mass at The Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, with pastor and Spiritual Director of the Flame of Love of The Immaculate Heart of Mary Singapore, Rev. Fr. Paul Ngo, MEP. After Holy Mass we passed the Flame of Love.

Holy Mass and the Passing of the Flame of Love

Following Holy Mass, we went back to the retreat center and began the election process when ultimately, 5 people were nominated for the important responsibility of International Director. After voting, it was clear in the first round that John Sullivan III had the majority and the needed 9 votes to be elected.

Next round of voting was for the Assistant International Coordinator and 7 names were considered. After only 2 rounds of voting, again it was clear as to whom Our Lord and Our Lady had chosen, Father Jorge Reyes.

John Sullivan and Fr. Reyes have been working together for many years, and as John expressed, he has learned a lot about the Flame of Love directly from Father Reyes! Both reside in the US and together they make a dynamic pair, both with unique gifts to offer the International Movement for Our Lady’s Cause.

Please join me in praying for John Sullivan and Fr. Jorge as our new International Directors! And I humble ask for your prayers as we move forward in UNITY for the propagation of the Flame of Love.
