The Word Became Flesh

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

Christmas

Jesus said to me, “And the Word became Flesh”. Penetrate and live in this sublime mystery, which signifies the Redemption of the world.” (Jesus/Elizabeth) (October 15, 1962)

Today’s Readings; And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth. (John 1)

Prayer Meditation- O Lord Jesus thank You for coming to us- The Word Made Flesh for our salvation! Thank You for being Our Savior and Our Emmanuel- God with us! Lord You came full of Grace and Truth so that we would be set free! As we meditate on The Nativity Scene and see You in a humble stable little and helpless let us ponder how deep Your Love is for us that You would become a poor baby to save us and so that we can live with You forever in Eternity! Unfathomable Divine Mercy! Lord let us just love and adore You today in Mary’s arms with all the angels and saints!

No Such Thing As Impossible

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

Christmas Eve

No Such Thing As Impossible

Jesus: “You please Me a great deal at this moment. You ask why? Continue to do you your best. What did your guardian angel tell you? Increase the adoration and homage to the Holy Majesty of God. You see how by your resolve to examine your conscience every hour, your soul is refined to become more apt to immerse itself in God and worship Him. Your homage also is greatly gaining in standing with the Holy Majesty of God. This proposition on your part requires a very great peaceful contemplation. But to the one who loves, nothing is impossible. (Jesus) (September 24, 1963)

Today’s Readings: Therefore. the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.” (Luke 1)

Prayer Meditation- Lord we know with You that nothing is impossible! You are a God who keeps His Promises including the Promise of a Savior born of a Virgin come to set us free! Lord so many of us come to You with hearts that long for something- a hole that all the presents in the world cannot fill! Maybe like Elizabeth it is infertility and longing for a child or maybe it is the illness of a family member, or children away from You, or maybe it is the empty seat of the loved one who now rests in Your Arms who we miss with an ache in our hearts. Lord some of our longings can seem so impossible to fill- so many wounds of the heart but Lord help us to fix our eyes on the Manger! For unto us a child is born and he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace! Fill us Lord tonight as we adore You!

Saturday of the Third Week of Advent

Rising Up To Meet Him

Mary: “My little one, my Flame of Love has become so incandescent that I want to spread on you not only its light, but also its warmth with all its power. My Flame of Love is so great that I can no longer keep it within me; it leaps out at you with explosive force. My love that is spreading will overcome the satanic hatred that contaminates the world so that the greatest number of souls is saved from damnation. I am confirming there has never been anything like this before. This is my greatest miracle ever I am accomplishing for all. (Mary) (October 19, 1962)

“Arise, my beloved, my dove, my beautiful one,
and come!
“For see, the winter is past,
the rains are over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth,
the time of pruning the vines has come,
and the song of the dove is heard in our land (Song of Solomon)

Prayer Meditation- O Lord, You are the Radiant Dawn on the horizon- the hope of all longing hearts. Fill us this Christmas with Your Presence- Mary’s Flame of Love ready to be poured out on a world so in need of You!

Emmanuel

Friday of the Third Week of Advent

Emmanuel

At this moment, the bells began to ring for the Angelus. I wanted to begin this prayer that honors the Blessed Virgin, but she intervened. Mary: “Now, your prayer must be to pay attention to my words. Meditate on them with your mind as a sign of your veneration. (Elizabeth/Mary) (December 12, 1964)

Today’s Readings: Therefore the Lord himself will give you this sign:
the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and shall name him Emmanuel. (Isaiah 7)

Prayer Meditation: O Lord, what a beautiful announcement today in today’s Gospel, the Annunciation, when the Word became flesh and dwelt among us! Thank You Blessed Mother for being attentive to God’s Will and giving Your Fiat to the Incarnation. Lord, we are often given signs, and like King Ahaz in the first reading we can be purposely dense and even show false humility, not believing You would ever speak to us, when really we are just tuned out and ill disposed. How weary we must make You at times Lord when all You want to do is live among the sons of men (Revelations 21:3), Emmanuel, God with us! Lord may we listen to the Blessed Mother, especially in the beautiful words of The Angelus, and meditate on them as a sign back to You of our veneration and our love! Because You are our Emmanuel- wonderful counselor, Lord of life, Lord of all, Prince of Peace, mighty God, Holy One, Emmanuel! (Michael W. Smith/Amy Grant)

Family Tradition

Tuesday 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!

Third Sunday of Advent

Rejoice I Say!

Then I spent a long time before Him. I cannot describe the joy that I felt through the words of the Lord. (Elizabeth) (September 4, 1964)

Today’s Readings: Brothers and sisters:

Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice! Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, we thank You for this special Sunday in Advent. For on this Gaudete Sunday, we start to see the rose light of dawn in the darkness as we wait and long for You! Lord, this time of year especially can bring anxiety and worry for many reasons- but Lord set us free from those chains as we pray and praise You with thanksgiving! Because You are always near, whether we can feel You near or not. Let us speak these healing words over our lives today!

Days of Elijah-Like A Fire

Days of Elijah- Like A Fire

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

Saint John of The Cross

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 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 to in this great Cause! Fiat Lord! Maranatha!
