Behold Your Mother

I must tell you, My daughter, that My Mother will not have been more venerated ever since the Word became Flesh, as she will be once she spreads the effect of grace of her Flame of Love in hearts and souls. (Jesus) (August 4, 1963)

Today’s Gospel: When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” (John 19)

Prayer Meditation- Lord today we celebrate Our Mother as Mother of the Church. She was given to us at the Cross- she gave birth to us as Her spiritual children because She is Our Mother in the order of grace. (CCC 966). During these times, we have been given the great grace of the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary- She is truly our generation’s ark- the ark of safety to bring us home to You Lord! Spread the effect of grace of thy Flame of Love over all humanity for the conversion of hearts and souls- Her Heart will triumph!

Pentecost Sunday

As By A New Pentecost

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. (Jesus) (March 24, 1963)

Today’s Readings: When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. (Acts 2)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, today we celebrate the Descent of the Holy Spirit, Your Spirit living in us! The Sanctifier, Sweet Guest of our souls! Lord make us docile to Your  Holy inspirations! Lord, today, in these times which seem ever darker when it comes to faith in the world, we wait again with expectancy praying with Our Blessed Mother! Come Holy Spirit! Come by the Means of the Power of the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary!

Saturday of the Seventh Week of Easter

You Follow Me

“The words of your spiritual father are Mine. Receive them with the greatest veneration and follow them in holy obedience.” (Jesus) (January 14, 1963)

Today’s Readings: When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about him?” Jesus said to him, “What if I want him to remain until I come? What concern is it of yours? You follow me.” (John 21)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, You know that sometimes obedience to our vocation and state of life can be hard. We look around at others- Lord, what about them? Why do I have to work so hard, suffer this thing, have this pain or illness- we always think the grass is greener and we can even envy the blessings of others. But Lord, You have asked us to follow You- we all have our own journey to walk and path of sanctification that You have designed for us alone. Let us follow You and Your Church in holy obedience with faith that all things come together for good for all of those who love You!

How Far Is The East From The West?

Memorial of Saint Phillip Neri

How Far is the East from the West?

“Say and constantly repeat, ‘My adored Jesus.’ I have told you before how pleasant it is to Me, and even if you say nothing else for a whole hour, repeat it with repentance for your sins. This obtains many graces, forgiveness for sins, and provides peace for souls.” (Jesus) (January 2, 1963)

Today’s Readings: For as the heavens are high above the earth, so surpassing is his kindness toward those who fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our transgressions from us.(Psalm 103)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, we can so identify with Peter in today’s Gospel (John 21:15-19). How many times have we let You down. How many times have You forgiven us and then given us our mission, a mission only we can fulfill. Let us not let anything get in the way- sin, unforgiveness, guilt, shame but let us confess our sins because You are faithful and just and will forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). How far is the East from the West- from one scarred Hand to the Other (Casting Crowns).

Thursday of the Seventh Week of Easter

I Will Not Be Disturbed

I bless your family greatly. I free them from the Evil One who disturbs the family peace. Just trust in Me.” (Jesus) (August 3, 1962)

Today’s Readings: I bless the LORD who counsels me; even in the night my heart exhorts me. I set the LORD ever before me; with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed. (Psalm 16)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, how easy it is to let the storms of life disturb our peace. Family strife, illness, work stress, the times we are living in- you name it, our little boats get rocked pretty easily! We forget Who is sailing with us- it may seem to us that You are sleeping and like the Apostles we scream that we are perishing! (Matthew 8:25). Oh we of little faith! Lord, You are always at our right hand- increase our trust and faith Lord that we would keep our peace and not be disturbed no matter what life is throwing at us!

Wednesday of the Seventh Week of Easter

Living in Truth

Do you know what makes the soul to live in truth? The continuous exercise of prayer and sacrifice. Without these, your souls are sick and will die.” (Jesus) (August 6, 1963)

Today’s Readings: I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the Evil One. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth. (John 17)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, as we read Your beautiful prayer we can hear your care for us in these precious words of Yours. We will live in the world and yet we belong to You! Lord help us to know what makes our souls live in truth- the continuous exercise of prayer and sacrifice. Lord help us to turn off the noise of the world so that we can hear Your Voice in our souls and pray without ceasing giving thanks in all circumstances (I Thessalonians 5:16-18) so that we will always live in Your truth!

Tuesday of the Seventh Week of Easter

Finishing Our Course

“Don’t forget, your principal missionary work will always be your own family. I could not entrust you with that before, because I did not want you to stop halfway. Your family is the point of departure for your mission. This work is not yet finished. Be interested principally in priestly vocations.” (Jesus) (August 28, 1962)

Today’s Readings: Yet I consider life of no importance to me, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear witness to the Gospel of God’s grace. (Acts 20)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, we get so many messages in the world about what our lives are all about- about health, beauty, fitness, and success. These are not all bad but they are not

the purpose of our lives and they can become just so many idols. Lord, You have given all of us a vocation and a course to follow- for most of us in the world it is to love You, love our families, and offer all of our works, joys, prayers, works and sufferings for Your Glory! May we offer all of our daily duties of our state in life to You for the conversion of the world- let us finish our course because the work of love is never finished!

Peace in Trouble- He Has Conquered The World

“Now that my Flame of Love has conquered your soul, you must seek with all your might everything I have entrusted you. I give to everyone the power to act. By the effect of grace of my Flame of Love, I will enkindle a light in your soul so that your initial trust remain courageous.” (Mary) (November 21, 1963)

Today’s Readings: I have told you this so that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world.” (John 16)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, we know that each day we will have trouble. We will have trouble until You call us home. Yet, You call us to Your peace, the peace that can live in us if we but call Your Name in the midst of our storms. Lord, You have conquered the world- You have conquered sin and death! Through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, may the Flame of Your Love Lord enkindle a light in our souls that we would walk today in trust and courage!

Seventh Sunday of Easter

One Accord to Prayer With Mary

Mary: “My little one, I ask you again to give immediately your confessor the instructions on how to make the night vigils united to the merits of my Divine Son. You have not yet given these to him. I want the holy night vigils – by which I want to save the souls of the dying – to be organized in every parish, so there is not even one moment without someone praying in a vigil. This is the instrument that I place in your hands. By this, you and your companions will save the souls of the dying from eternal damnation. By the light of my Flame of Love, Satan will remain blind.” (Mary) July 9, 1965)

Today’s Readings: When they entered the city
they went to the upper room where they were staying,
Peter and John and James and Andrew,
Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew,
James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot,
and Judas son of James.
All these devoted themselves with one accord to prayer,
together with some women,
and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers. (Acts 1)

Prayer Meditation- Oh Lord we praise You, we bless You and we love You because the Blessed Mother, our Mother and Yours took the Apostles at a time of confusion under Her Mantle in the prayer cenacle and prayed the first Novena. Because when You pray with Our Lady, the Holy Spirit will always show up! Our Lady called them then to prayer and She calls us now- for the dying, for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for the lost and the sinners, for the sick and those in need. To save souls because She is Our Mother and She yearns for us to be united with You! She wants no one to be lost but all to be saved and whole in Your Most Holy Divine Will! Blessed Lady take us and place us where we belong in the Divine Fire, share with us Your Immaculate Conception!

In His Name

Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures

Saturday of the Sixth Week of Easter

In His Name

Ask the Father in My Name and He will grant you whatever you ask for on My behalf. Have confidence and always refer to the Flame of Love of My Holy Mother because the Three Divine Persons are obligated to her. (Jesus) (October 19, 1962).

Today’s Readings: Jesus said to his disciples:
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.
Until now you have not asked anything in my name;
ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete. (John 16)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, why do I feel like You keep asking us to ask You for anything. And why does it seem that we really do not ask You for anything- at least not with the Holy boldness we read about in Hebrews 4:16, to go boldly to the Throne of Grace. Why are our prayers, in a word, wimpy, so afraid to really ask You and say out loud what we really need? Because You are our loving Father who is not about to give us snakes when we really need fishes (Luke 11:11). In fact in that Gospel of Luke we read further about persistent prayer. To “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Even when it is midnight and the door has been long closed! So let’s do it- do we need healing or a miracle perhaps? Or for circumstances to change? Or just for peace in the storm? Lord may we just ask and ask with confidence holding Our Mother’s Hand and in Your Holy and Mighty Name! May our humble prayers be Your Command in Your Most Holy and Divine Will, Fiat! We believe, we receive!
