Family Tradition

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

Wednesday of the Third Week of Advent

Family Tradition

“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. She (Mary) 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.” (Jesus) (January 17, 1964)

Today’s Reading

Thus, the total number of generations
from Abraham to David
is fourteen generations;
from David to the Babylonian exile, fourteen generations;
from the Babylonian exile to the Christ,
fourteen generations. (Matthew 1)

Prayer Meditation- O Lord, this season is a time for families. The genealogy of the Word Made Flesh includes everyone from prostitutes to kings. Lord You chose to have a family history just like us. And as we may feel troubled about our family situations that seem impossible, we are reminded that You always have the last word and You are working right now especially through the Flame of Love to bring Your children home!

Close To The Brokenhearted

Close To The Brokenhearted

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

Tuesday of the Third Week of Advent

Close To The Brokenhearted

Jesus: “Do not fear. I will not allow anyone to harm you. If he were able, together with his henchmen, he would have crushed you like dust. Be strong. The Holy Spirit will strengthen you.” (Jesus) (August 31,1962)

Today’s Readings: The LORD is close to the brokenhearted;
and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.
The LORD redeems the lives of his servants;
no one incurs guilt who takes refuge in him. (Psalm 34)

Prayer Meditation: Lord it seems like every day is a battle. We try to persevere but the truth is we try to do so much in our own power and we fall apart. And then we feel lost in our sins and our brokenness and we really can just feel so stuck! We can feel crushed by life and its demands and we say we are fine but we know we are not. In the Gospel (Matthew 21) we hear that it is the sinners that will enter the Kingdom of Heaven before the so called righteous. The key is in the Psalm, to take refuge in You because You will not allow anyone or anything to harm us. So let us stop trying to rely on our own strength and ask for The Holy Spirit to strengthen us and may we stay fused in Your Divine Will confident that if we but ask You will forgive and heal everything inside of us that is not of You!

Proof of Your Love

Proof of Your Love

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

Monday of the Third Week of Advent

The Proof of Your Love

My Flame of Love will blind Satan to the same extent that all of you spread it around the world. Just as the whole world knows my name, so I want the Flame of Love of my heart performing miracles in the depths of the hearts to also be known. There will be no need to investigate this miracle. All will feel its authenticity within their hearts. Whoever has felt it once will communicate it to others because my grace will be active in them. There is no need for authentication. I will authenticate it myself in every soul so that all recognize the effusion of grace of my Flame of Love. (Mary) (October 19, 1962)

Today’s Readings- By what authority are you doing these things?
And who gave you this authority?” (Matthew 21)

Prayer Meditation- O Lord, our world always asks for proof and evidence especially in our secularized culture- everything is “science”. Yet each day You work a miracle of Grace in the souls of those who love You and who seek You each day in Your Word, in prayer, and in the Sacraments! Let our lives be the proof of Your Love- let us bring You to others because You dwell in us!

Spiritual Freedom

Spiritual Freedom

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

Third Sunday of Advent

Spiritual Freedom

“All of you have been called to My work of salvation, fathers and mothers, learned and ignorant, the well and the sick. All can work for Me, the free man and the one suffering in prison. What is important is the availability of the soul and the spiritual freedom which constitutes the culture of the soul.” (Jesus) (May 24, 1963)

Today’s Readings: Jesus said to them in reply,
“Go and tell John what you hear and see:
the blind regain their sight,
the lame walk,
lepers are cleansed,
the deaf hear,
the dead are raised,
and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.
And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me.” (Matthew 11)

Prayer Meditation- O Lord, You are the God of restoration and of healing, of spiritual freedom! You have come to heal and set captives free! Thank You Lord Jesus for proclaiming the good news to poor souls like us! Lord may we walk in freedom, not so that we can walk in our own ways but to walk with You and join You in the work of salvation no matter what our circumstance in life. True freedom begins with the availability of our souls- may Thy Will be done in us! Loosen the chains that bind so that we would be free of anything standing in the way of spiritual freedom in You!

Days of Elijah-Like A Fire

Days of Elijah-Like A Fire

Memorial of Saint Lucy

Days of Elijah-Like A Fire

Jesus: “Are you confident you can fulfill the destiny for which we have chosen you? I am asking you again: Do you accept the many humiliations and sufferings that accompany the task of asserting our Holy Cause? Do you know that the sufferings you have received so far only served to prepare you to achieve the goal that we set for you? You are an instrument in our hands. Do you want to continue being an instrument? Do you want to climb with Me the Mount of Calvary, the Golgotha? If so, your place is beside the Mother of Sorrows. The Flame of Love of her heart that she wishes to enkindle on earth through you demands a total commitment on your part. Do not answer right now, meditate and prepare yourself to the answer concerning the great Cause.” (Jesus) (March 24, 1963)

Today’s Readings: In those days,
   like a fire there appeared the prophet Elijah
       whose words were as a flaming furnace.
   Their staff of bread he shattered,
       in his zeal he reduced them to straits;
   By the Lord’s word he shut up the heavens
       and three times brought down fire.
   How awesome are you, Elijah, in your wondrous deeds!
       Whose glory is equal to yours?
   You were taken aloft in a whirlwind of fire,
       in a chariot with fiery horses.
   You were destined, it is written, in time to come
       to put an end to wrath before the day of the LORD,
   To turn back the hearts of fathers toward their sons,
       and to re-establish the tribes of Jacob.
   Blessed is he who shall have seen you
       and who falls asleep in your friendship. (Sirach 48)

Prayer Mediation- O Lord we thank You, and bless You, and glorify You for these readings about Elijah. The first Elijah who came like fire for the conversion of Israel and John the Baptist in the Gospel, the Elijah who was to come (Malachi 4:5-6) to turn the hearts of fathers towards their sons. The precursor of the Messiah! And here we are today, preparing ourselves this Advent for You to reign in all the Earth, for Your Kingdom to come! Our place is besides the Mother of Sorrows, who also has Her role to enkindle the Her Flame of Love. And you are asking for total commitment on our part in these days and these times so that we would be instruments in this great Cause! Fiat Lord! Maranatha!

How Does This Happen That The Mother of Our Lord Should Come To Us

Our Lady of Guadalupe

How Does This Happen That The Mother of Our Lord Should Come To Us

“As you see, I am honoring you again. At your request, I come to bless your family and the whole neighborhood. I have brought My peace. Trust! Do not give way to discouragement! I unite your sufferings to my merits.(Jesus) (April 14, 1964)

Today’s Readings: “Most blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
And how does this happen to me,
that the mother of my Lord should come to me? (Luke 1)

Prayer Meditation- How is it Lord, that Your Mother, Our Mother comes to us? She came with haste to help Elizabeth her cousin and She comes with haste when we call. She has been coming to Earth to help us in her various apparitions including Our Lady of Guadalupe. If we want to know Her Heart which is in union with Your Heart we only have to ponder the following comforting words to St. Juan Diego- Am I not here, I who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am 1 not the source of your joy? Are you not in the hollow of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms? Do you need something more? Let nothing else worry you or disturb you. Let us meditate today on the Heart of Our Mother and take Her into our hearts and our homes!

May Our Feet Journey Together- A Daily Devotional Based on Spiritual Classic He and I

Sing Praise

End of the novena to the Immaculate. I was deeply moved by the Mass sung in five parts. (Gabrielle Bossis) “What will you say in heaven when you hear My praises sung in billions of parts? Each of the blessed ones has his own particular melody.” (Jesus)

— He and I by Gabrielle Bossis

Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing! (Psalm 100:2)

The Lord is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
my father’s God, and I will exalt him. (Exodus 15:2)

¹³And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

¹⁴“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased! (Luke 2:13-14).

Reflection- O Lord how lovely is this little reading today. Our praises and singing to You on Earth is so beautiful but it is a shadow of what it will be in Heaven! Not only will the angels be singing but each one of us You tell us will have our own melody! How good You are God- there is a song by Chris Tomlin called Holy Forever which reminds me of this reading.-

A thousand generations falling down in worship
To sing the song of ages to the Lamb
And all who’ve gone before us and all who will believe
Will sing the song of ages to the Lamb

Your name is the highest
Your name is the greatest
Your name stands above them all
All thrones and dominions
All powers and positions
Your name stands above them all

And the angels cry holy
All creation cries holy
You are lifted high, holy
Holy forever (Chris Tomlin)

Fiat let us begin Heaven now singing and praising in the name of all past, present, and future!

Fear Not!

Fear Not!

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

Fear Not!

“Tell Me, little sister, why do you consider yourself alone since I am the One leading you? Have no fear, I will not let go of you. Come, let us go together and let there be no other moment when you would feel alone.” (Jesus) (January 25, 1966)

Today’s Readings: I am the LORD, your God, who grasp your right hand; It is I who say to you, “Fear not, I will help you.” (Isaiah 41)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, we can often feel so alone- we wonder where You are in the storms of life. Sometimes You, the Teacher are quiet while we are taking the tests of life. But Lord, You have promised that You will never leave or forsake us! You grasp our right hands and whisper to us to fear not! Let there be no moment in our lives that we should ever feel abandoned but let us come to You with humble trust and surrender!

May Our Feet Journey Together- Daily Devotional Based on He and I- Jesus Our Beginning and End

December 10, 2025/Lifesong/Leave a comment

“My child, even if you seemed to love everything, even if all the affections of your heart were to fade away and you found yourself alone and misunderstood by everyone, I should still be your treasure, your goal, your incomparable friend, your beginning and your end. “So don’t be upset by anything. Once and for all, place your heart in Mine, in joy as in distress. If I fill your cup to overflowing, I am your peace. If I put you to the test, I am your companion. Nothing ever ceases to flow from Me to you, if you accept Me. Now do you understand a little better the reason you were born? To be one with Me. Begin, begin right from this very moment. Tighten the bonds of union. Ask the immaculate one for this grace. Her heart never left Me. And you, child, never leave Me. Never. I’ll be tempted to thank you.””

— He and I by Gabrielle Bossis

⁸Indeed I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, in order that I may gain Christ (Philippians 3:8).

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,^[d]
    I fear no evil;
for thou art with me;
    thy rod and thy staff,
    they comfort me. (Psalm 23:4)

⁸“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty (Revelations 1:8)

Reflection- O Lord we can feel so alone in this world even in the best of circumstances. But now during this Holiday Season, so many can really be feeling the losses- of loved ones, of poor health, of loneliness and depression. And yet You are our treasure, our goal, our only purpose in life. Our Alpha and Omega, our beginning and our end. And You promise that You are not just there on the mountaintop but as a faithful companion in the valley, our comfort and our peace. So let us ask for the grace to live fused in Your Most Holy and Divine Will, one with You no matter the circumstances. Mary Queen of Peace please pray for us.

Stumbling Into Holiness

Stumbling Into Holiness

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

Stumbling Into Holiness

You did not make yourself worthy. I, God, thought you worthy of your call. Even one instant is too much for you to be occupied with something else. My love does not rest. May our thoughts be as one!” (Jesus) (August 30, 1964)

Today’s Readings: Jesus said to the crowds: “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” (Matthew 11)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, like the first reading today in Isaiah 40 we do run and grow weary, we walk, and not only do we faint, we stumble and fall. We work in our own power to somehow be good enough, to measure up, even for those of us on a spiritual path to make ourselves holy. We are literally tripping on our own feet! You see all of this and You say to us today enough! You call to us to come to You, all who are labored, burdened, just plain worn out and sick and tired of being sick and tired and You ask us to turn in that worn out yoke for a brand new one of Your making. Because we do not make ourselves good or holy- only You do when we surrender ourselves to Your Divine Will, the sacrament of the Present Moment which includes our duties to You and to our state in life and loving acceptance of all that comes to us through Your Hands for our good! Thank You Jesus for stepping into this holiday madness with Your Word in the Gospel today- let us have ears to hear!
