Seeking The Face Of God

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

Monday of the Thirty Fourth Week of Ordinary Time

Seeking the Face of God

While getting ready to go to bed for the night, I prostrated myself one last time before the image of His Holy Face. (Elizabeth) (May 28, 1964)

Today’s Readings: He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, a reward from God his savior. Such is the race that seeks for him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob. (Psalm 24)

Prayer Meditation- O Lord, we read today in the first reading from Revelation about those in Heaven who contemplate Your Face for all Eternity. Lord, we struggle here on Earth and You seem so far away at times- we see as through a glass darkly (1 Corinthians 13). Lord the Gospel today teaches us one way through the darkness- total self- surrender of all that we are, just like the poor widow who gave not from her surplus but all that she had. (Luke 21). Lord, help us always to seek Your Face- in the good and the bad, in joys and sorrows, in the valley and on the mountaintop because You are there through all of it and You will never let us go!

Hearing The Voice Of The King

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

The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe

Hearing the Voice of the King

I would speak to every soul this way, if they would receive me. (Jesus) (May 1962)

Today’s Reading: Jesus answered, “You say I am a king.
For this I was born and for this I came into the world,
to testify to the truth.
Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.” (John 18)

Prayer Meditation- O Lord, our King and Savior, make us attentive to Your Voice- the Voice of Truth that leads us to Your Kingdom and Glory forever! We adore You, the one who was and is and is to come! Lord help us to surrender all of ourselves to You that You would reign in our hearts, minds, and souls. Pour out Your Flame of Love into our hearts and set us on fire so that nothing will hold us back from Your Lordship of our lives! As we enter Advent, may we long only for You! Let us examine ourselves, be attentive to Your Voice, and let us be purified of any territory in our hearts not fully surrendered to You!

This Is How I Fight My Battles

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

Saturday of the Thirty Third Week of Ordinary Time

This Is How I Fight My Battles

I see your perseverance and I am rewarding you in advance for that. Just so you not be distressed, I will mention a little detail which pleases me and is for your merit. Many people in your neighborhood have known you for years. You have fought your great battles before their eyes. Many admire you and even your enemies speak of you with respect. I am pleased to hear that. A mother is pleased to hear one of her children is recognized as being good. And you are my daughter, twice over. (Mary) (November 19, 1962)

Today’s Readings: Blessed be the LORD, my rock,
who trains my hands for battle, my fingers for war. (Psalm 144)

Prayer Meditation: Lord why is it that every day is just a battle! Life on earth is just a battlefield. Every day it is always something- family difficulties, work problems, financial concerns, illness, and just feeling down and discouraged if we take it all in without Your Help. And we wonder where You are! But Lord You promise us in today’s Psalm that You train our hands for battle, our fingers for war! And You see us, fighting our great battles even if nobody else sees. Lord, there is a song called Surrounded by Michael W. Smith which goes like this over and over- this is how I fight my battles! And the song starts with Isaiah 61:3- that we are to put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. So let us praise You in all circumstances and pick up our weapons, The Holy Rosary because our fingers are indeed trained for war when we unite ourselves with You and the Blessed Mother! Because the battle belongs to You! (1 Samuel 17:47)

Sing and Rejoice O Daughter Zion

Memorial of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary

Sing and Rejoice O Daughter Zion

Human words cannot express what I have prepared for all of you. I await your arrival with a rich gift. My Heart will rejoice at your arrival. (Jesus) (October 4, 1962)

Today’s Readings: Sing and rejoice, O daughter Zion!
See, I am coming to dwell among you, says the LORD.
Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD on that day,
and they shall be his people,
and he will dwell among you,
and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. (Zechariah 2)

Prayer Meditation- Today we celebrate the presentation of Our Lady in the Temple! Our Lady by tradition lived in the Temple from the age of three years old and she entered the Temple with joy united to Your Holy and Divine Will! Our Lady can indeed sing and rejoice because with Her prayers in the Temple she yearned and longed for the coming Messiah, having no idea She would be the Mother of God! And with Our Blessed Mother we can long and pray for the coming of Your Kingdom through the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Let us present ourselves today to You in prayer and thanksgiving because human words cannot express what You have prepared for those who love You! (1 Corinthians 2:9).

Faithful In Small Things

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

Wednesday of the Thirty Third Week of Ordinary Time

Faithful In Small Things

You are a small instrument, just like the little match that you hold in your hand. Do not be surprised by what I tell you. With one strike of the match, I will enkindle in millions of souls the Flame of Love of My Mother.” (Jesus) (January 16, 1966)

Today’s Readings: The first came forward and said,
‘Sir, your gold coin has earned ten additional ones.’
He replied, ‘Well done, good servant!
You have been faithful in this very small matter;
take charge of ten cities.’ (Luke 19)

Prayer Meditation- O Lord, we are the smallest of Your instruments and yet if we are faithful and trustworthy You will grow Your Kingdom through us! Let us not bury our talents in the ground but let us leave nothing on the table as we use the gifts You have given us for Your Glory! Let us be the little match knowing that we have no talents that do not come from You to enkindle the fire of Your Flame of Love in millions of souls! All we have to do is be faithful, one “yes” to Your Will at a time.

Jesus Is Knocking At The Door Of Your Heart

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

Tuesday of the Thirty Third Week of Ordinary Time

Jesus Is Knocking At The Door Of Your Heart

I constantly stretch out My hand asking for help. I go from heart to heart and I receive only a small donation. Then they quickly close the door of their heart and I can hardly cast a glance inside.” (Jesus) (May 2, 1962)

Today’s Readings:

“‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,
then I will enter his house and dine with him,
and he with me. (Revelations 3)

Prayer Meditation: Lord You knock always at the door of our hearts! Yet we keep You in our little “God box”. We let You in briefly on a Sunday and then we don’t give You a second glance as we go on with our busy lives! Yet You want to live with us and dine with us! You want to live every moment of our lives in us- in unity! There is not a single detail of our lives that You do not want to share with us! Lord, help us not to block Your Grace but to let Your Mercy come in like a rushing wind- blow apart what stands in Your Way today Lord!

Will He Find Faith On Earth?

Will He Find Faith On Earth?

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

Saturday of the Thirty Second Week of Ordinary Time

Will He Find Faith on Earth?

“Suffer with courage, perseverance and a sincere abandonment. Don’t ponder if the suffering is large or small. All that you can still do for Me on earth is meritorious. Time is short, little sister, and never returns. (Jesus) (July 24, 1963)

Today’s Readings: The Lord said, “Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to answer them? I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” (Luke 18)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, when You come again will You find faith on earth? I have to admit Lord with the way things are in the world and the Church, that question has been actually keeping me up at night. It seems like faith is very hard to find. Yet Lord, in today’s Gospel You teach us about prayer and perseverance, no matter the difficulty. To never give up! We only have today to love and serve You! Lord, yes You will find faith on earth- we may be small and few but we suffer with courage, perseverance and sincere abandonment for the love of You and the salvation of souls!

The Kingdom Of God Is Among Us

The Kingdom Of God Is Among Us

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

Thursday of the Thirty Second Week of Ordinary Time

The Kingdom of God is Among Us

“Each night, My little one, ask yourself what you have done for the coming of My Kingdom (Jesus) (August 28, 1962)

Today’s Readings: Asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, Jesus said in reply, “The coming of the Kingdom of God cannot be observed, and no one will announce, ‘Look, here it is,’ or, ‘There it is.’ For behold, the Kingdom of God is among you.” (Luke 17)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, Your Kingdom is here and now and not yet because You will return! And yet it is inside each one of us who is a baptized believer in a state of Grace. We have to look no further than our own hearts. Let us ask ourselves each night if what we have said and done has brought us closer or further away from Your Kingdom. Let us resolve to live in You, through You and for You each day! Fiat, Thy Will be Done!

Women Of Courage

Women of Courage

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

Memorial of Saint Josaphat

Women of Courage

He (Satan) just wants me to live a normal life. People are going to think that I am an eccentric bigot; that I am foolish because my dress, my food, my enjoyments, and the way I treat others is not like other people. (Elizabeth) (August 31, 1962)

Today’s Readings: Similarly, older women should be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers, not addicted to drink, teaching what is good, so that they may train younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, chaste, good homemakers, under the control of their husbands, so that the word of God may not be discredited. (Titus 2)

Prayer Meditation- O Lord, the world wants to pull us, especially women away from You and to the broad way of “doing our own thing” To conform to this world and this age- to live it up and live for ourselves- the good life! How many years Lord wasted along the way- how many detours off the narrow road to the broad road of “having it all”. Lord thank You for the broken road that led me straight to You! Following You Lord may make us stand out from the crowd these days- praying for our families, standing up for life, avoiding the noise in our culture to hear Your Voice, loving our husbands and children above our own needs may not be popular but we are dearly loved daughters of the King! Lord may we be women of God who lead our daughters to You!
