Dear Friends in Christ,
As the College of Cardinals gathers to elect our new Holy Father, the Lord is calling us to stand watch, pray deeply, and ignite the world with the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
We invite you to take part in a 2-day mission of love and reparation to blind satan and call down the light of the Holy Spirit over the Conclave.
“Faced with the enormity of the task ahead and the urgency of the present time… we make ourselves humble instruments of the infinite wisdom and providence of our Heavenly Father.”
(Statement of the Cardinals, May 2025)
Please share this call to prayer with family, friends, and your parish. We are not spectators—we are torchbearers. May our hands gather with the Flame of Love, Jesus Himself, during this tremendous time of grace and mercy.
With hearts on fire,
Jill Metz
National Director U.S. Flame of Love Movement

Opening Invocation
Heavenly Father, as the College of Cardinals enters into the sacred work of the Conclave, we ask You to surround them with the fire of the Holy Spirit and the grace of the Flame of Love. May satan be blinded and the next Holy Father be chosen by Your divine hand.
Unity Prayer (repeat 9 times)
“May our feet journey together,
may our hands gather in unity,
may our hearts beat in unison,
may our souls be in harmony,
may our thoughts be as one,
may our ears listen to the silence together,
may our glances profoundly penetrate each other,
may our lips pray together to gain mercy from the Eternal Father. Amen.”
– Jesus to Elizabeth Kindelmann
Prayer for the Conclave:
I kneel before you, O Virgin Mother of God, Our Lady of Guadalupe, the compassionate mother of all who love you, cry to you, seek you, and trust in you. I plead for the Church at a time of great trial and danger for her. As you came to the rescue of the Church at Tepeyac in 1531, please intercede for the Sacred College of Cardinals gathered in Rome to elect the Successor of Saint Peter, Vicar of Christ, Shepherd of the Universal Church.
At this tumultuous time for the Church and for the world, plead with your Divine Son that the Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, His Mystical Body, will humbly
obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Through your intercession, may they choose the most worthy man to be Christ’s Vicar on earth. With you, I place all my trust in Him Who alone is our help and salvation. Amen.
Heart of Jesus, salvation of those who trust in Thee, have mercy upon us!
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Virgin Mother of God and Mother of Divine Grace, pray for us! Amen

Closing Invocation (May 8)
Blessed Mother,
Spread the effect of grace of your Flame of Love over the Conclave and all humanity. Blind satan and pierce the darkness with divine fire. May the Holy Spirit illuminate every decision and bring forth a Pope according to the Heart of God.
“Come Holy Spirit, come by means of the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”
(Repeat 3 times)
From the Spiritual Diary of Elizabeth Kindelmann
“Pay particular attention to the extraordinary importance of priestly vocations. Coming from Me, this is not new for you. And now, with special devotion, make sacrifices for this purpose. Because not only do I commend to your special attention the vocations that are yet to come, but furthermore the present priestly vocations. Make many sacrifices for these.”
The same day, during the nighttime adoration:
“Tell that to your spiritual director.”
My heart began to tremble. Then the Lord Jesus spoke in a thundering voice.
“Before the difficult times are upon you, prepare yourselves for the vocation I have called you to by renewed tenacity and a firm decision. You must not be lazy, uninterested and indifferent because the great storm is brewing just ahead. Its gusts will carry away indifferent souls consumed by laziness. Only those souls with a genuine vocation will survive. The great danger that will soon erupt will begin when I will raise My hand. Give My words of warning to all the priestly souls. Let My words that warn you in advance shake them up, and My severe request…” Jesus- March 12, 1964

Please pray in particular for Cardinal Peter Erdő, who is known for advocating for the faithful preservation of the Christian faith, often using the metaphor of “guarding the flame.” He emphasizes the importance of passing down the faith and serving others through it, highlighting the significance of faith in all aspects of life. A key part of this “guarding the flame” concept involves staying true to the core teachings of the Catholic Church, even in the face of challenges from the modern world.
Cardinal Peter Erdő has been instrumental in the propagation of the Flame of Love IHM and we pray that his continued support and understanding of this gift of grace, would be placed on the lampstand, for the entire world to receive.
