“It is to the warm solidarity of the family sanctuary that souls come back to, after having strayed far. It is there that they come to find themselves and they once more return to God. It is necessary for you, mothers, to extend the warm understanding of your hearts to your children even once they have established their own homes. Great is the responsibility befalling on you. Do not think that once a child has become an adult, he no longer needs his parents. My Mother accompanied Me everywhere with her love, her sacrifices and her prayers. You must do the same, and I will bless your efforts. My beloved Mother obliges Me to that. 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. As she said: ‘Nothing comparable to this has happened ever since the Word became Flesh.’ ” Jesus
Dear Flame of Love Family,
As we enter this Thanksgiving season, we share our deep gratitude for each one of you—for your faithfulness, your perseverance, and your openness to the immense grace God is pouring out through the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Across the nation, Jesus and Mary are uniting us as one Church, one family, to welcome this great effusion of grace into our homes and hearts.
We thank you—sincerely—for your participation in our events, gatherings, and especially our National Cenacle each month. Each time we come together, whether online or in person, the Church is strengthened because the Flame of Love is spread. It means everything that you choose to unite in prayer, because ultimately, these prayers and our sacrifices are instruments to cause satan’s universal blindness. Your presence, your prayers, and your sacrifices are igniting the Flame of Love across the world!
As we gather as one Church in the Flame of Love, we open wide the doors for this grace to spread even more powerfully, and we are seeing the fruits.
We are profoundly grateful for all the new Regional and State Leaders who have recently stepped forward to serve the Flame of Love Movement throughout the United States. As our national apostolate grows, may the Flame of Love unite us ever more closely, fill us with joy and zeal, and strengthen our dedication to spread this great effusion of grace into homes and hearts.
In the Spiritual Diary, Jesus reveals the sacred role of the family and the extraordinary grace His Mother has obtained:
“It is to the warm solidarity of the family sanctuary that souls come back to, after having strayed far. It is there that they come to find themselves and they once more return to God. It is necessary for you, mothers, to extend the warm understanding of your hearts to your children even once they have established their own homes. Great is the responsibility befalling on you.

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. As she said: ‘Nothing comparable to this has happened ever since the Word became Flesh.’ ” Jesus to Elizabeth Kindelmann Spiritual Diary pg. 186
The Blessed Virgin herself ignites the Flame—into our homes, into our families, into our prayer groups, and into our national unity.
This Thanksgiving let’s ask for the grace! In all our circumstances, even those that may seem impossible, ASK the Blessed Virgin to ignite Her Flame of Love around your family table.
You have our prayers, and that your home be surrounded by the tenderness of the Holy Family. May this great effusion of grace continue to flow into your family sanctuary—your little Nazareth—and may every heart at your table feel the nearness of Jesus and Mary.
United with you in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
From all of us from Flame of Love IHM U.S.
