A Precious Gift from Her Immaculate Heart
What is the Flame of Love?

The
devotion to the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of
Mary finds its origin in the revelations of the Lord Jesus
Christ and the Virgin Mary to Elizabeth Kindelmann, a
Hungarian mother of six, between the years
1961 and 1982. Elizabeth died on April 11, 1985. Through
her, the Virgin Mary placed into our hands a new means: the
Flame of Love of Her Immaculate Heart.
These revelations have been transcribed by Elizabeth in her
Spiritual Diary which, together with the Holy Gospels and
the Teaching of the Church, is at the root of the
spirituality of the Flame of Love Movement.
On June 6, 2009 his Eminence Cardinal Peter Erdö,
Archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest and President of the
Council of Episcopal Conferences of Europe
granted his
Imprimatur
number 494-4/2009 to the Hungarian original
Spiritual Diary of
Elizabeth Kindelmann,
authorizing the publication of the messages given to her
by the Lord Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The Flame of Love and its mystery
The Virgin Mary wants the devotion to the Flame of Love of
Her Immaculate Heart to spread throughout the world so
that the greatest number of Her children may respond to Her
urgent plea. Through the Flame of Love, we are all invited to
take part in the Work of Salvation by blinding Satan, the
source of all evil, and thus help the Lord Jesus Christ
and the Virgin Mary to save souls. This is what the
Flame of Love wants to accomplish.
The Virgin Mary: “This Flame of Graces coming from My
Immaculate Heart must go from heart to heart. It will be the
Great Miracle whose Light will blind Satan. It is the Fire
of Love and of the Union. We shall fight fire with fire: the
fire of hate with the Fire of Love! I obtained this Grace
from the Eternal Father on your behalf by virtue of the Five
Blessed Wounds of My Divine Son.”
The Lord 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!
These jolts will give rise to a new world by the power of
faith. Trust, confirmed by faith, will take root in souls
and the face of the earth will thus be renewed. For never
has such a flow of grace ever been given since the Word
became Flesh.
This renewing of the earth, tested by suffering, will take
place through the power and the imploring force of the
Blessed Virgin!”
We are given several means to put in effect the power of the
Flame of Love:
- Our Blessed Mother is asking us to add the following
supplication to the “Hail Mary” in the usual Rosary and to
make it known to the whole world:
“From now on, any time you pray to Me, add the following
request:
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee, blessed are
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.
With this prayer, you will blind Satan.”
The bishop asked Elizabeth: "Why should we recite the very
old Ave Maria differently?" On February 2, 1982, the Lord
answered: "It is exclusively thanks to the effective
petitions of the Blessed Virgin that the Most Holy Trinity
granted the overflowing 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 our death. Amen." So that, by its
action, humanity is converted."
The Most Blessed Virgin added: "I do not want to change the
prayer by which you honour me; by this petition, I want
rather to shake humanity. This is not a new prayer formula;
it must be a constant petition." (Spiritual Diary, October
1962)
- By praying
the prayer
Christ taught Elizabeth, and He invited her to
propagate it since He considers it to be a powerful
means to blind Satan.
- When we take part in the Holy Sacrifice of Mass, if we are
in a state of grace, the Evil one is blinded and the
plenitude of the graces is transmitted to the soul for which
we offer the Holy Mass. The Blessed Virgin: "If you attend a
Holy Mass which is not an obligation for you, and if you are
in a state of grace before God, I will spread the Flame of
Love of my Heart and I will blind Satan during this time. My
graces will run out abundantly on the souls for which you
offer this Holy Mass. The participation in the Sacrifice of
the Holy Mass increases to the highest degree the blindness
of Satan." (November 22, 1962)
- In the accomplishment of our duties, by offering to the
Lord our daily work, if we are in a state of grace, this
offering will increase the blindness of Satan. "Throughout
the day also, offer your labour for the glory of God! This
offering, made in a state of grace, also helps to blind
Satan. Live in conformity with my graces so that the
blindness of Satan extends more and more and grows
increasingly larger. If you make good use of the abundant
graces that I bestow upon you, they will make better a
multitude of souls." (November 30, 1962)
- "My little one, you must consider Thursdays and Fridays as
two great days of special grace. These days, those who offer
atonement to my divine Son will receive a great grace.
During the hours of atonement, the ability of Satan weakens
insofar as the atoning souls beg for the sinners..."
(September 29, 1962). “On Thursdays and Fridays offer a
special offering in atonement to my Holy Son. This
should be done in the family starting with a spiritual
reading followed by the Rosary or other prayers in
intense fervor. Try to gather two or three members as
you recall where two or more are gathered to pray, my
Son is present among them.”
- "When someone does Adoration in a spirit of atonement or
pays a visit to the Blessed Sacrament, as long as it lasts,
Satan loses his power on the parish souls. Blinded, he
ceases to reign on souls." (November 6 – 7, 1962)
The Flame of Love and the dying
The Blessed Virgin: "You see, My daughter, when the Flame of
Love of My Heart is inflamed upon the earth, its outpouring
of graces flows out to the dying as well. Satan is blinded
and with the help of your fervent prayers, Satan’s fight
against the dying will cease. Under the serene beam of My
Flame of Love, even the most hardened sinners are converted
for I do not want any soul to be lost… Make sure that not a
single minute goes by during the night without prayer. As
long as there is someone awake and praying in honour of My
Flame of Love, I promise you that not a single dying person
in their surroundings will be damned.
The more fervently you pray, the more thoroughly will Satan
be blinded, and the dying soul will find renewed strength
to decide wisely as to her future destiny."
The Flame of Love and the souls in Purgatory
The Lord Jesus: “Whoever fasts on Monday on bread and
water while referring to the Flame of Love of the Immaculate
Heart of Mary delivers the soul of a priest from Purgatory.
Also, he who follows that prescription will receive the
grace, during the octave following his death, to be
delivered from Purgatory by My Mother.” (Agenda of Monday)
The Blessed Virgin added: “For all those who observe
absolute fasting regularly on Monday, they can cease it at
6.00 p.m. But instead, they must pray on the same day a five-decade Rosary
for the souls in Purgatory.”
The Blessed Virgin Mary:
"The priests who observe the fasting on Monday release
during each Holy Mass they celebrate during that week, at
the moment of consecration, innumerable souls from
Purgatory. The religious and the laity who observe absolute
fasting on Monday, will deliver during that week, every time
they receive Communion and at the time they receive the
Sacred Body of the Lord, a host of souls from Purgatory."
(August 15, 1980)
“Your compassion for poor souls has moved my maternal
Heart so much that I am granting you the grace you
requested. Whenever my Flame of Love is invoked and
three Hail Mary’s are recited in my honor, a soul is
released from Purgatory. During November, the month of
the deceased, ten souls will be released from Purgatory
for each Hail Mary recited. Suffering souls must also
feel the effect of the grace from the Flame of Love of
my maternal Heart.”
(October 13, 1962)
The pain of the memory of our sins fertilizes also the souls
(August 15, 1964). Even the desire of the salvation of souls
contributes to blind Satan (November 30, 1962), because the
will of the soul is already love (September 15, 1962).
"I need you all"
The Virgin Mary: "You must strive to participate in the
blinding of Satan! I need you, individually as well as
collectively. Any delay must be ruled out, for Satan will be
blinded to the extent of your participation…
This is a grave responsibility. But your effort will not be
in vain. If the whole world is united to Me, the soft light
of My Flame of Love will then burn and set the globe aflame.
Satan will be humiliated and made incapable of using his
power any longer, provided this time of preparation is not
indefinitely prolonged! No, do not prolong it! Do not
procrastinate in response to My holy requests!"
"My daughter, I am providing you with so powerful a grace:
the burning Flame of Love from My Heart, that has never
before been offered as it is now. Ever since the Word became
Flesh, I have not undertaken a greater movement than the
Flame of Love from My Heart who rushes to you. Till now,
nothing could blind Satan as much. And it is up to you not
to reject it, for this rejection would simply spell
disaster."
The Lord Jesus: “Go beyond your limits! Think of the Three
Wise Men who made a superhuman sacrifice. They surely
exceeded their usual limits. Above all, the priests must do
it, but the other consecrated persons as well and all the
faithful..."
The Virgin Mary: “In the tribulation that is about to begin,
I will remain with you. I am your Mother. I can and will
help you. Soon, you will see My Flame of Love gushing forth
everywhere, illuminating the heavens, the earth, and even
darkened and slumbering souls. But what sorrow it is for Me
to have to watch so many of My children throw themselves
into Hell!”
The Virgin Mary: “My children, the arm of My Divine Son is
ready to strike. I can barely hold it back. Help Me! If you
invoke My Flame of Love, we can save the world together!”
What the Flame of Love is
Elizabeth once asked: “What then is the Flame of Love?”
Jesus responded: “My Mother’s Flame of Love is for you what
the Noah’s Arch was for Noah.” And the Blessed Virgin Mary
added: “The Flame of Love of My Immaculate Heart is Jesus
Christ Himself!”
Let us thank the Lord for the Flame of Love from the bottom
of our hearts and with great gratitude for a gift of an
exceptional import, for never has such a flow of graces ever
been given since the Word became flesh, as the Virgin Mary
once said to Elizabeth.
