The words of the Collect, or Opening Prayer, for the Feast of the Assumption convey both the dogma, and a hope-filled promise to seekers of eternal life: “All powerful and ever living God, you raised the sinless Virgin Mary, mother of your Son, body and soul to the glory of heaven. May we see heaven as our final goal and come to share her glory. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who loves and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever.” We all know God has created us through His Word, Jesus, the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. During the pilgrimage, which is earthly life, we possess a temporary status, as our present life is not the pinnacle of life. God has made us for Himself and rejoices when His incredibly beloved sons and daughters are with Him, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the blessed Mother and all the saints, including all the souls in heaven. We are pilgrims who desire our heavenly homeland. Mother Mary, Immaculate Virgin and Mother of God, is our mother too.  While none of us is the Immaculate Conception, each of us is well equipped with graces to be judged worthy of the heavenly homeland and then share in our Blessed Mother’s glory.

Peace, love and blessings.

Father Mike

In the Spiritual Diary of Elizabeth Kindelmann, recorded an astonishing message from Jesus:

“Our Lord 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. 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. 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 this happened since the Word became flesh. The renewal of the earth, although flooded with sufferings, will come about by the power of the intercession of the Blessed Virgin.” March 27, 1963

This powerful passage from the Diary invites us to contemplate the deep mystery of Mary’s role in the Church and in God’s plan to renew the world. But to do so, we must understand our role in light of Scripture—especially St. Paul’s words about what is “lacking” in Christ’s afflictions.

“Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh, I complete what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the Church.” (Colossians 1:24)

St. Paul is not suggesting that Christ’s redemptive act was incomplete. The Cross has infinite value, but the application of Christ’s Passion, the fruit in each individual soul, requires our cooperation. We participate in this mystery by uniting our sufferings to His, offering them for the salvation of souls, just as Our Lady asked the children of Fatima to do.

In the same way that Christ’s redemptive work on the Cross is complete yet must be received and lived out in each soul, the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary—foretold at Fatima—must take root in each individual heart. From the very beginning, God revealed that the woman and her offspring would play a decisive role in crushing the head of the serpent: “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will strike your head, and you will strike his heel” (Genesis 3:15).

The manifestation of Mary’s triumph is proportional to the number of souls who unite themselves to her mission…and become her heel. When we see the world growing darker, it’s not a sign that the triumph has failed—it’s a sign that more souls are needed to carry the Flame.

“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, True Devotion to Mary

This mission is not reserved for just a few pious souls in the pews, praying the rosary—it is urgent and deeply personal. On April 13, 1962, the Blessed Mother gave this commission to Elizabeth:

“My little Carmelite, so many sins are committed in this country. Help me. Let us save the country. I place a beam of light in your hands; it is the Flame of Love of my heart. Add your love to this Flame and pass it on to others, my little one.”

When Elizabeth asked why Mary did not perform great miracles like those at Fatima:

“The greater the miracles, my little one, the fewer those who believed in me. I asked for the First Saturdays and they never heeded my request… I would like to place in your hands a new instrument… Take this Flame, my daughter, you are the first one I am handing it to. It is the Flame of Love of my heart. Ignite your own heart with it and then pass it on to others.”

Jesus explained to Elizabeth that this grace begins not with public spectacles, but in the hidden sanctuaries of the family… and boy don’t we know it by the constant attacks?!

“By her powerful intercession, she obtained from Me for families this great effusion of grace, which she also wants to extend to the whole world… She did not want to perform a spectacular miracle… 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.”

This was also told to us by Our Lady of Fatima… the attack would be on the families. This is why devotion to Mary is more than piety—it is a strategy of warfare. It is a plan from Heaven for the renewal of the world through families consecrated to Mary and set aflame by love of Jesus Christ.

 In this month dedicated to her Immaculate Heart, renew your commitment to the First Saturdays. Here is a free download to assist you and your cenacle. If you’ve already completed the devotion, take it up again for your children and grandchildren, stand in the gap. Heaven’s request has not changed and we can never do enough in reparation for the offenses against her Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart.

In 1930, Sister Lucia received the explanation from Jesus for why five Saturdays were chosen. They correspond to five kinds of offenses against His Mother:

1. Blasphemies against her Immaculate Conception
2. Blasphemies against her perpetual virginity
3. Blasphemies against her divine maternity, including the refusal to accept her as the Mother of all men
4. Instilling indifference, scorn, or hatred for her in the hearts of children
5. Outright desecration of her holy images

Each First Saturday we keep in her honor helps repair one of these wounds. Let us reclaim every Saturday as a day to honor Our Mother and do as she asks us

The Weekly Agenda given from Our Lord in the Spiritual Diary…

Saturday: A Day for Our Mother – “On this day, venerate Our Mother in a special way with a very particular tenderness. As you are well aware, she is the Mother of all graces. Wish that she be venerated on earth as she is venerated in Heaven by the multitude of angels and saints. Seek for agonizing priests the grace of a holy death. Offer every moment of the day for that purpose. What a great reward you will receive! In Heaven, priestly souls will intercede for you and the Most Holy Virgin will be waiting for your soul at the hour of your death. Offer the night vigil for this intention also.”

The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart hits us in a near and deeply personal—whenever a soul receives the Flame of Love and passes it on.

We are united with you in the refuge of the Immaculate Heart and the Flame of Love,

Jill and Ken Metz

US National Coordinator

Queen and Mother of America, Make me your torchbearer. Amen.

On the Fourth of July, we commemorate a declaration of independence that changed the course of history. But today, as our nation faces profound moral and spiritual challenges, we’re invited to a deeper revolution—not one of politics or arms, but of hearts. We’re called to a spiritual independence: freedom from sin, darkness, and the influence of Satan. And in this battle, Heaven has not left us unarmed. Heaven has given us a Flame—a Flame of Love.

This Flame is not a metaphor. It is a living FIRE, entrusted to Mother of All Humanity, and Her Immaculate Heart. Through the messages given to Elizabeth Kindelmann, Mary reveals a mission of mercy and hope: to blind Satan, to save souls, and to set the world on fire with Divine Love. In her words, “Help Me Save the Country” is not a slogan—it is a heavenly plea.

Mary’s Flame of Love with it’s gentle light is igniting across the land, calling to America—not in judgment, but in longing. She sees not just what we are, but what we could become: a nation ablaze with holiness, purity, and prayer.

She has come to us under the title Our Lady of America from 1956-1958, inviting us to lead the world in spiritual renewal through purity, penance, and love. In her apparitions to Sister Mary Ephrem, St. Michael appeared carrying a flaming torch and declared, “Only those who are strong in love can become my soldiers… bear aloft not the sword of destruction, but the sword of fire—the flaming torch of Divine Charity.”

This same image appears at Fatima in 1917, where an angel with a flaming sword threatens to set the world aflame—yet the fire is extinguished by the radiance of Our Lady. Her Light is stronger.

Mary gives Elizabeth Kindelmann, on April 13, 1962 a message which ignites the FLAME OF LOVE, she says, “My little Carmelite, so many sins are committed in this country [Hungary].  Help me.  Let us save the country.  I place a beam of light in your hands; it is the Flame of Love of my heart.  Add your love to this Flame and pass it on to others, my little one.”

The Flame of Love is not a devotion—it is a movement, a mission, and a calling. It’s about more than personal prayer; it’s about national renewal. Mary is gathering us, Her torchbearers: men, women, children, priests, students, mothers, grandfathers— we are ordinary people carrying an extraordinary fire. LOVE is the FIRE and it’s transforming because it is Jesus Himself, the Flame of Love!

Two years ago on July 4th, I was entrusted—alongside my husband Ken—with the role of National Coordinator for the Flame of Love in the United States. Since then, we have witnessed a groundswell of grace. Cenacles multiplying! Hearts catching fire! Families transformed (our own included)! Miracles of the Heart, as our Lady promises.

As Americans light fireworks and wave flags this Fourth of July, we celebrate a greater freedom—the one Christ won for us on the Cross. We recall that true liberty is found in surrender to God’s will and taking on the Divine Life. Mary’s call and “Cause” is to carry her Flame, to ignite the Church, and to set America ablaze with divine love.

To be a torchbearer is to say “yes”—to receive her Flame into your heart and carry it faithfully into the places God has put you. It’s the mother who leads her children in the Rosary. The priest who preaches with fire. The young adult who welcomes Mary’s pilgrim statue into their apartment. The prisoner who clings to hope through the Flame of Love prayers. This is how revival begins—heart by heart, home by home.

Mary is not waiting for perfect people (Lord knows, look at me!) She is waiting for willing hearts. And she is asking one simple question: Will you carry My Flame—for the salvation of souls, for the renewal of families, and for the future of America? Let’s make America PURE again, through Mary’s Immaculate Heart!

PS – Fascinating… On July 4, 1941, five months before the United States entered World War II, then-Msgr. Fulton Sheen published A Declaration of Dependence to stir America’s soul into realizing what its independence entailed and to warn Americans what they must do to keep it.
“We are living in such a period of history now — the sad hour wherein we are gathering the bitter fruits of our apostasy from God. Wars from without; class hatreds, bigotry, antiSemitism, anti-Catholicism, atheism, and immoralities from within — are the harvest of our godlessness. | know that there are many who profess belief in God, but they do not act on that belief. What recognition is given to the moral law in politics, economics, or education? How many Americans who say they believe in God went to their church or to their synagogue last Sunday or Sabbath? Do we forget that the evil fruits which St. Paul told the Romans would ripen on the tree of their godlessness are now ripening on the tree of America’s godlessness?”

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.

(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,

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

https://collegeofcardinalsreport.com/cardinals/peter-erdo

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.

NEW YEAR PRAYERS 2025:

On the vigil of the New Year, we join our hearts and prayers to all those throughout salvation history who have kept vigil looking forward to the Day of the Lord. We ask the Lord to prepare us to receive the many rich graces of the New Year with souls inflamed by Mary’s Flame. Let us welcome the New Year in a spirit of praise, for praise is that form of prayer which recognizes that God is God. Praise lauds God for his own sake and glorifies him simply because HE IS. This posture of praise is the most apt way to greet our Incarnate Savior.

Let us ask for the grace of purity.

In thanksgiving for the graces received from Our Lady of The Flame of Love, and in light of the days ahead, we come together again beseeching Our Mother for her intercession to spread her Flame for God’s Mercy to reign in our hearts, our families, our Church, our world. That all souls may reach the pinnacle of their assigned mission on earth or souls in Purgatory to obtain the benefit of their final heavenly destination. 

We pray together that all the bishops, cardinals, seminarians, and spiritual leaders would be one with the movement of the Holy Spirit, and thirst for You Lord; that we would stress in these times the works of charity looking onto our brethren who are in need of sustenance in life as well as the spiritual food that is also needed in the souls in darkness and in fear and living in godlessness. 

Utilizing the prayers of all the souls who have gained the victory of Heaven, let us ask that their concerted prayers on our behalf will reap an outpouring of graces. 

We pray Ephesians 3:14-21 over all of us, our families and the whole world: For this reason, I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, ma have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen

PRAYER TO THE INDWELLING MOST HOLY TRINITY

O my Love, my only Good, Most Holy Trinity, I adore You, hidden in the depths of my soul. To You, to Your honor and glory, I dedicate my life. May every thought, word and deed of mine be an act of adoration and praise directed towards Your Divine Majesty enthroned in my heart.
O Father, Infinite Goodness, behold Your child, clothed in the likeness of Your Son. Extend to me Your arms that I may belong to You forever.
O Son, Divine Lord, made man, crucify me with Yourself that I may become, in union with You, a sacrifice of praise for the glory of Your Father.
O Holy Spirit, Fire of Everlasting Love, consume me on the altar of Divine Charity, that at the end of life, nothing may remain but that which bears the likeness of Christ.

O Blessed Trinity, worthy of all adoration, I wish to remain in spirit on my knees, to acknowledge forever Your reign in me and over me, to Your everlasting glory.
Through the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the pure heart of St. Joseph, I consecrate my life to Your adoration and glory.
At the moment of death, receive me, O my Triune Love, that I may continue my adoration of love through all eternity. Amen.

PRAYER TO THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION 

O Immaculate Mother, Queen of our Country open our hearts, our homes, and our Land to the coming of Jesus, your Divine Son. With Him, reign over us, O heavenly Lady, so pure and so bright with the radiance of God’s light shining in and about you. Be our Leader against the powers of evil set upon wresting the world of souls, redeemed at such a great cost by the sufferings of your Son and of yourself, in union with Him, from that same Savior, Who loves us with infinite charity. We gather about you, O chaste and holy Mother, Virgin Immaculate, Patroness of our beloved Land, determined to fight under your banner of holy purity against the wickedness that would make all the world an abyss of evil, without God and without your loving maternal care. We consecrate our hearts, our homes, our Land to your Most Pure Heart, O great Queen, that the kingdom of your Son, our Redeemer and our God, may be firmly established in us. We ask no special sign of you, sweet Mother, for we believe in your great love for us, and we place in you our entire confidence. We promise to honor you by faith, love, and the purity of our lives according to your desire. Reign over us, then, O Virgin Immaculate, with your Son Jesus Christ. May His Divine Heart and your most chaste Heart be ever enthroned and glorified among us. Use us, your children of America, as your instruments in bringing peace among men and nations. Work your miracles of grace in us, so that we may be a glory to the Blessed Trinity, Who created, redeemed, and sanctifies us. May your valiant Spouse, St. Joseph, with the holy Angels and Saints, assist you and us in “renewing the face of the earth.” Then when our work is over, come, Holy Immaculate Mother, and as our Victorious Queen, lead us to the eternal kingdom, where your Son reigns forever as King. Amen.

O Dearest St. Joseph,
I consecrate myself to your honor and give myself to you, that you may always be my father, my protector, and my guide in the way of salvation. Obtain for me a greater purity of heart and fervent love of the interior life. After your example, may I do all my actions for the greater glory of
God, in union with the Divine Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. O Blessed St. Joseph, pray for me, that I may share in the peace and joy of your holy death.
Amen 

Te Deum: 

You are God: we praise you;
You are God: we acclaim you;
You are the eternal Father:
All creation worships you.
To you all angels, all the powers of heaven,
Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God of power and might,
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
The glorious company of apostles praise you.
The noble fellowship of prophets praise you.
The white-robed army of martyrs praise you.
Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you:
Father, of majesty unbounded,
Your true and only Son, worthy of all worship,
And the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide.
You, Christ, are the king of glory,
The eternal Son of the Father.
When you became man to set us free
You did not spurn the Virgin’s womb.
You overcame the sting of death,
And opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
You are seated at God’s right hand in glory.
We believe that you will come, and be our judge.
Come then, Lord, and help your people,
Bought with the price of your own blood,
And bring us with your saints
To glory everlasting.
Save your people, Lord, and bless your inheritance.
Govern and uphold them now and always.
Day by day we bless you.
We praise your name forever.
Keep us today, Lord, from all sin.
Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy.
Lord, show us your love and mercy;
For we put our trust in you.
In you, Lord, is our hope:
And we shall never hope in vain

We offer ourselves to the Heavenly Father through all the wounds of our Savior, Jesus Christ: 

We kiss the wound of your Sacred Left Hand, with sorrow deep and true. †

We kiss the wound of your Sacred Right Hand, with sorrow deep and true. †

We kiss the wound of your Sacred Left Foot, with sorrow deep and true. † 

We kiss the wound of your Sacred Right Foot, with sorrow deep and true. † 

We kiss the wound of your Sacred Side, with sorrow deep and true. †

Joyful Mysteries  ►The Annunciation 

Grant us, Mary, by the graces of this mystery, a listening heart that responds to the call of the Lord with a loving yes joined to yours. Mary “I place in your hands a ray of Light. It is the Flame of Love of My Immaculate Heart! I am your caring Mother who loves you, and united with you hand in hand I shall save you.

► The Visitation 

Open our hearts, Mary, to give joyfully and without counting and in a gratuitousness of love, as you did at the Visitation. Mary “There is so much sinning in the world! Help Me save souls! I place in your hands a ray of light: the Flame of Love of My Immaculate Heart. Ignite your own heart with it and pass it on to others, at least to one more soul!”

► The Birth of Jesus 

Mary, tenderness of the poor, make us discover the true wealth of the Kingdom, You who lived them at the birth of Jesus. Mary “This Flame of graces springing from My Immaculate Heart has to go from heart to heart. This will be the great miracle whose light will blind Satan.”

► The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple

Grant us, Mary, that we may recognize the Light of God in our lives, as Simeon did recognize it at the Presentation of Jesus. Mary “I will spread the flow of graces from My Flame of love over all peoples and nations. Not just those belonging to the Catholic Church but over all those marked with the sign of the Cross of My Divine Son.”

► Jesus is found in the Temple 

Mary, who have welcomed in faith the mystery of the mission of your Son in the Temple, make us obedient to God’s plan. Mary “I can no longer suppress My Flame of Love within Me, let it flow toward you! Those who grant shelter to My Flame of Love will be empowered by an infusion of graces, and will proclaim to the whole world that such an outpouring of graces has never been seen since the Word became Flesh … “

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy Mercy. Come Holy Spirit! Come by means of the power of the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.                                                                   

    3 X St Joseph …pray for us                           [Sing ‘Ave Maria’] 

The Unity Prayer…

Lord Jesus, free us from all worry and anxiety. Refashion our hearts and our minds in your own divine image so that we may love the Father’s will as you love it. Make us perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect, so that we will live only for you

Luminous Mysteries 

► The Baptism in the Jordan 

O Mary, who kept everything in your Heart, make us attentive to God’s presence and grateful for the privileged grace of our baptism. Jesus “Let him who walks with Me look into My penetrating eyes and merge himself in them!” 

► The Wedding at Cana

O Mary, Virgin of Cana, ask Jesus to change our hearts so that we may live ever more in the great freedom of God’s children. Mary “The many graces that I give you, if you make good use of them – and you must always use them better and better, cause a great number of souls to become better.”

► The Proclamation of the Kingdom 

By your unceasing prayer, Mary, obtain for us to be authentic witnesses of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Jesus “Should you want to speak publicly or if you were asked to do so, I will then be there to comfort you. Each word should be like a seed which must bear many fruits among your listeners.” 

► The Transfiguration of Jesus

May our lives be transformed by the Holy Spirit, and may Your Flame of Love, Mary, warm our hearts of children. Jesus “The aim is to make known the value of the work of salvation! Ah! If only your aspirations for salvation could reach the Throne of the Heavenly Father! The success would then be greater! Burn! Like the bush in flames of fire that did not burn up! I need a sacrifice that does not consume itself and whose fire reaches Me!”

► The Institution of the Holy Eucharist

O Mary, Virgin of Contemplation, help us to increase our intimacy with Jesus in the Eucharist, the Bread of Life of every day. Jesus “Participation in the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass increases to the highest degree the blindness of Satan.”

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy Mercy. Come Holy Spirit! Come by means of the power of the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.                                                                   

     3 X St Joseph …pray for us                       [Sing ‘Ave Maria’]

The Unity Prayer…

Lord Jesus, empty us of ourselves. Rid us of our willfulness, our sinfulness, our pride. May we never be seduced by the false ideas of the world. May your truth be our glory. Let our lives be governed by your holy peace. May we live hidden in you as once you were hidden in the womb of your Mother

Sorrowful Mysteries 

► The Agony in the Garden 

“My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass Me by, nevertheless, let it be as you, not I, would have it.” With You, Mary, may it become our prayer in our trials. Jesus “My table is always set, without interruption. I, the Master, have sacrificed everything! My Self, I give you.”

► The Scourging at the Pillar

May our suffering, united to the scourging of Jesus, become a prayer of offering to the world, with You, Mary. Jesus “When receiving Holy Communion, look deeply into your soul and feel the effects My Precious Blood produces within you. Do not be insensitive to that! It is not by habit that you should come to My table, but rather propelled by a love that will be fueled as it touches Mine, and which through Me, and in union with you, will burn away the sins of your soul…” 

► The Crowning with Thorns  

May the thorns of our heart make the garden of our life blossom in faith with You, Mary. Jesus “Without faith and trust, no virtue can take roots in you. They are the foundation of this holy project for which we are preparing

► Jesus Carries the Cross 

May our daily cross be enlightened by the sorrowful Cross of Jesus, which has become glorious by His Resurrection. Jesus “We give you the strength and courage to take the first steps, but you should not delay accomplishing My will, or simply dismiss it with the back of your hand.”

► The Crucifixion 

May the loving words uttered by Jesus on the Cross become seeds of life, love and forgiveness in all the hearts. Jesus “If you do not come to Me, how then can I bestow My graces upon you? The fullness of graces is stored up in My Heart. My Heart is an unending source of love.”

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy Mercy. Come Holy Spirit! Come by means of the power of the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.                                                                   

     3 X St Joseph …pray for us                                                             [Sing ‘Ave Maria’]

The Unity Prayer…

Lord Jesus, may this New Year be marked by our profound desire to be reconciled to you in every way. May we remain close to you through our faithfulness to the sacraments. Fill us with an authentic spirit of repentance. Free us from our resentments, our grudges, and our regrets. May Christlike forgiveness be the hallmark of our lives. May we witness to our faith by proclaiming the dignity of all human life in our every thought, word, and deed. May our experience of your mercy make us generous in our acts of justice for the afflicted of the world, so that all may live in the freedom of your kingdom.

Glorious Mysteries 

► The Resurrection of Jesus

Through the power of Your Resurrection, grant us Lord the taste of life, and reach out to those who have lost its meaning. Mary “When the consecrated and the laity observe absolute fasting on Monday, they deliver also many poor souls from Purgatory at each Holy Communion during that week at the time they receive the Holy Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ.” 

► The Ascension of Our Lord 

“Why are you standing here looking into the sky?” “Go out proclaim the Good News.” May we become, o Lord, authentic witnesses of Your Resurrection. Jesus “The Church is in great danger and you cannot remedy the situation with earthly means or efforts. The Most Holy Trinity and the Holy Virgin alone, the Angels and all the Saints, and with the assistance of all the souls delivered by you from Purgatory, are still able to provide for the needs of the Militant Church.” 

► The Descent of the Holy Spirit

Send forth Your Spirit, Lord, and give us the audacity of Your true disciples. Jesus “I could compare this torrential flood to the first Pentecost. It will submerge the earth by the power of the Holy Spirit. All mankind will take heed at the time of this great miracle. Here comes the torrential flow of the Flame of Love of My Most Holy Mother. The world, darkened already by the lack of faith, will undergo formidable tremors and then people will believe!”

► The Assumption of Mary into Heaven 

“I am the Resurrection and the Life.” May these words, Mary, maintain us in the hope and the certainty of an eternal tomorrow. Mary “Only through speech can My Flame of Love become known. I am standing with sadness in My Heart by the side of the world. You have no right to remain silent, neither by cowardice nor pride, neither by negligence nor fear of sacrifice. The words you speak about Me must be impregnated with all the fervour of your soul so that mankind can be touched by the mystery of Heaven.”

► The Coronation of Mary in Heaven 

O Mary, crowned in glory, kindle us continually by the Flame of Love of Your Immaculate Heart. Mary “I grant to all of you the grace to be able to see the success of your effort – with regard to the diffusion of My Flame of Love – as well as in each heart taken individually, as well as in your country and the whole world. You who toil and make sacrifices, you will see that My Flame of Love will submerge very soon the whole humanity.” 

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy Mercy. Come Holy Spirit! Come by means of the power of the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.                                                                   

     3 X St Joseph …pray for us                                                             [Sing ‘Ave Maria’]

Hail Holy Queen – Let Us Pray (O God,)

My Adorable Jesus, We ask you to take us in spirit before your Eucharistic Presence throughout the world. (pause for silent reflection)

Blessed Lady, Take us and place us where we belong in the Divine Fire. Share with us your Immaculate Conception. (pausefor silent reflection)

Prayer to Saint Joseph:

Oh, Saint Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh, Saint Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, so that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most Loving of Fathers. Oh, Saint Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss his fine head for me and ask him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. Saint Joseph, Patron of departed souls, pray for me. Amen.

Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel:

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the Power of God, cast into hell, Satan and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Plenary Indulgence- Pray for the intentions of the Holy Father (Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be – also requires interior disposition of detachment from all sin, reception of Holy Eucharist, and Confession within 20 days)

Prayer for the Propagation of the Flame of Love

Blessed Virgin Mary, our cherished heavenly Mother, you love God and us, your children, so much that you offer us to your Divine Son Jesus on the Cross, to forgive us by our Heavenly Father and to obtain our salvation, so that all those who believe in Him do not perish but obtain Eternal Life.

With a filial confidence, we pray to you, Virgin Mary, that with the Flame of Love of your Immaculate Heart, kindled by the Holy Spirit, you ignite in our languid hearts the fire of a perfect love for God and all humanity, so that together with you, with one heart, we love God and our neighbor.

Help us to transmit this holy Flame to all people of goodwill, so that the Flame of Love extinguishes the fire of hatred everywhere on earth and that Jesus, the Prince of Peace, be the King and the center of all hearts in the Sacrament of His Love on the Throne of our altars. Amen.

Litany if the Blessed Virgin Mary 

We offer ourselves to the Heavenly Father through all the wounds of our Savior, Jesus Christ: 

We kiss the wound of your Sacred Left Hand, with sorrow deep and true. †

We kiss the wound of your Sacred Right Hand, with sorrow deep and true. †

We kiss the wound of your Sacred Left Foot, with sorrow deep and true. † 

We kiss the wound of your Sacred Right Foot, with sorrow deep and true. † 

We kiss the wound of your Sacred Side, with sorrow deep and true. †

 After 12:00:

Come Holy Spirit, Creator Blest (Veni, Creator Spiritus)

 Come, Holy Spirit, Creator blest,

and in our souls take up Thy rest;
come with Thy grace and heavenly aid
to fill the hearts which Thou hast made. 
O comforter, to Thee we cry,
O heavenly gift of God Most High,
O fount of life and fire of love,
and sweet anointing from above. 

Thou in Thy sevenfold gifts are known;
Thou, finger of God’s hand we own;
Thou, promise of the Father, Thou
Who dost the tongue with power imbue. 

Kindle our sense from above,
and make our hearts o’erflow with love;
with patience firm and virtue high
the weakness of our flesh supply. 

Far from us drive the foe we dread,
and grant us Thy peace instead;
so shall we not, with Thee for guide,
turn from the path of life aside. 

Oh, may Thy grace on us bestow
the Father and the Son to know;
and Thee, through endless times confessed,
of both the eternal Spirit blest. 

Now to the Father and the Son,
Who rose from death, be glory given,
with Thou, O Holy Comforter,
henceforth by all in earth and heaven. Amen. 

Spread the effect of the Flame of Love IHM to the Holy souls in Purgatory through Holy Mass and the Flame of Love Hail Mary.

Offering the Gift of Prayer for the Holy Souls: Join Us for a Memorial Mass on November 29th

Memorial Mass for the Holy Souls

This November 29th at 7 PM ET, Father Michael Davis, Spiritual Advisor of the Flame of Love IHM US, will offer a special Memorial Mass for all your dearly departed loved ones.

Why Offering Mass for the Holy Souls Matters

Our earthly lives are the only time we have to pray for ourselves and others. The souls in Purgatory no longer have that ability to pray for themselves, and they rely on us to offer prayers and sacrifices on their behalf. The Holy Mass is the most efficacious prayer that we can offer because we unite with Jesus in the Eucharist, and receive His Body, Blood, Soul and very Divinity. The Spiritual Diary states that “it is the Mass, that blinds satan the most”.

The Flame of Love, obtained by the Blessed Virgin Mary, teaches us that our prayers, especially the Flame of Love Hail Mary prayer with the invocation of the Flame of Love, can profoundly affect the souls in Purgatory. In fact, each Flame of Love Hail Mary prayer has the power to release 10 souls from Purgatory.

Our Lady’s promise is clear: “During the month of November, for each Hail Mary recited in honor of my Flame of Love, ten souls will be released from Purgatory.” How beautiful it is to know that our prayers can be a light for those in darkness, bringing them into the eternal peace of God’s presence.

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,

US National Director

The messages of the Flame of Love reminds us that our loving Father sent Jesus to assure us that no matter how sinful we are, his Holy Spirit can transform sinners into saints.  By offering our lives, we discover that God has put us first in his thought, care, and concern for our well-being and future. By sacrificing his life, Our Lord set us free from the lies of the devil and bless us with his truth and way to a life of virtue.  Our surrender to his will is a response to his divine kindness and mercy towards us. Even while we were hopelessly adrift through our own sinful pride, rebellion and unbelief, the Father chooses to give us the grace of the Flame of Love on fire in the heart of Jesus to us with the freedom to obey his will.

Blessed Carlo Acutis and Elizabeth Kindelmann teach us that at each Mass, we celebrate the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus. The Liturgy of the Word announces God’s pardon and peace to those who profess the Apostles Creed.  In the reception of the Eucharist, we become one with his Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. Jesus wants to live, love and serve through us.  As beloved sons and daughters of God, we are to build a kingdom of love, mercy and peace. For our goal as Christians is become companions of Jesus and Mary on journey to the Communion of Saints.

Take time before the Blessed Sacrament and reflect how the Flame of Love messages can heal your family and your personal relationship with Jesus through Mary. You will enjoy many miracles of healing and holiness, especially when you kindle heart-to-heart the fire of love and mercy flowing from God’s Powerful Spirit (GPS) from the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Monsignor Cheiffo

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!
