Show And Tell

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

Monday of the Fourth Week in Ordinary Time

Show and Tell

Jesus: “Do you know why I make you write about the different events in your life? Because these are reflections of My graces in your soul that you – I know it well – would never tell others. In this manner, I oblige you to write so all will see the Divine Work that I have done in your soul since your childhood” (July 24, 1965)

Today’s Readings: “Go home to your family and announce to them 
all that the Lord in his pity has done for you.” (Mark 5)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, how can we ever repay You for Your Great Mercy towards us and how You have set us free from sin, misery and death! Lord You have given us supernatural life and have set us free from the chains that bound us! Each day through prayer, meditating on Your Word, and through the Sacraments guided by the Holy Spirit You have not left us orphans! Each day You are changing us into Your image from glory to glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18)! Lord help us to show and tell through our words and deeds all that You have done for us!

Whoever Does The Will of God

Memorial of Saint Thomas Aquinas

Whoever Does The Will of God

For the teachings and inspirations of the Lord Jesus (of God the Holy Spirit), the Flame of Love of the Blessed Virgin prepares a road in our souls. If we refer to the Flame of Love, the Lord Jesus will enlighten our intellect to know what we must do, for example, how we can choose between two things and which is the most perfect and represents the Will of God. (Elizabeth) (July 11, 1975)

Today’s Readings: And looking around at those seated in the circle he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.” (Mark 3)


Prayer Meditation- Lord today You tell us that those who do Your Will are those who are Your true family. Rather than a rebuke to Our Blessed Mother, You were confirming She who always did Your Will perfectly. Lord, we strive to do Your Will but we fill our days and our heads with noise that drowns You out- it is only when we get still with You that we can even hope to hear You! Let us imitate Our Mother who pondered in Her Heart always and so was able to give Her Fiat to Your Holy Will which is love and mercy itself! Begin all your prayers in the presence of God.

Do Whatever He Tells You

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

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

Do Whatever He Tells You


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:

His mother said to the servers, “Do whatever he tells you.” (John 2)


Prayer Meditation: O Lord You have given us Your Blessed Mother to intercede for us- in the big things and in the small. May she intercede for us to receive the wine of The Spirit- Lord so many of us are desperately out of wine! Our Blessed Mother will never let us down- may we do as She tells us to and always do whatever You tell us! Come Holy Spirit, come by the means of the power of the intercession of the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary!

He Loved Us First

Tuesday After Epiphany

He Loved Us First


Beloved, I am waiting for you with a loving heart. God is calling you with His infinite love.” (Jesus) (September 23-24 1964)


Today’s Readings: In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent his only-begotten Son into the world so that we might have life through him. In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins. (1 John)


Prayer Meditation: Lord, sometimes it is so hard for us to believe and take in that indeed, You have loved us first. That You love us with an infinite love! Lord You came so that we may have life and life abundant! (John 10). Let nothing hold us back from Your Loving Embrace today!

Words Of Love

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

Feast of Saint John The Apostle

Words of Love


“My little one, write down what I now dictate: …You are mine and this is your guarantee. After your death, there will abound in the treasures of your heart those who will know, bless and glorify God. Those who will live after you on earth can draw abundantly from these treasures. (Jesus) (November 17-18, 1964)


Today’s Readings: So that you too may have fellowship with us; for our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We are writing this so that our joy may be complete. (1 John 1)

Prayer Meditation: O Lord, today we celebrate the Feast Day of the Beloved Disciple who never left You- the one who laid his head on Your Sacred Heart and who took Mary into his home. St. John wrote five books of the New Testament including the beautiful Gospel of John. Today’s readings tell us that he wanted our joy to be complete in You! Lord let us receive Your Word and the words of the saints so that we may draw abundantly from these treasures!

Family Tradition

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

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!

Pity For The Crowd

Wednesday of the First Week of Advent

Pity For The Crowd

“How good of You to come! Truly, You do not despise me. Because I am a sinner, You double Your strength in me. What goodness, what limitless compassion You have for a repentant sinner.” For a long time, I gave thanks for His infinite mercy. (Elizabeth) (November 22, 1962)

Today’s Readings: Jesus summoned his disciples and said,
“My heart is moved with pity for the crowd,
for they have been with me now for three days
and have nothing to eat.
I do not want to send them away hungry,
for fear they may collapse on the way.” (Matthew 15)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, today we are reminded that You indeed have pity on us. There is nothing that escapes Your Loving Gaze into our hearts. There is no need that You do not understand and want to fill. You have true loving concern for us in every moment of our lives! What goodness, what limitless compassion You have for those who love You and what mercy is awaiting those who do not yet know Your Love! Lord Jesus, be born in our hearts this Advent season and in the hearts of those we love and bring to You every day in prayer!

The Kingdom of God Is Near — November 29, 2024

The Kingdom of God Is Near

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

The Kingdom of God Is Near

Wherever you go, let it be felt that you partake every day in the heavenly banquet. Desire that everyone have this same yearning. Let the coming of My Kingdom be the only object of prime importance in your life. (August 16, 1962)

Today’s Readings: Jesus told his disciples a parable.
“Consider the fig tree and all the other trees.
When their buds burst open,
you see for yourselves and know that summer is now near;
in the same way, when you see these things happening,
know that the Kingdom of God is near. (Luke 21)

Prayer Meditation- Lord the Kingdom is here now but not yet. Because Your Kingdom has not come in its fullness as it will at the end of time. And yet You told us that the Kingdom of God is within us (Luke 17:21). And do we live like we are already in the Kingdom? Is it apparent wherever we go that we partake in the heavenly banquet of the Mass? Do we live Spirit filled lives? Let the coming of the Kingdom right now in our hearts as well as when it comes on Earth as it is in Heaven be our purpose and may we desire that everyone has the same yearning for the God who yearns for 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!

Feast of Saint Simon and Saint Jude

Chosen and Loved

You, My little one, must stir up the fire because you have been chosen for this. This is a great privilege. Never interrupt your desires and sacrifices because this would cause My Mother great sorrow.” (Jesus) (July 12, 1962)

Today’s Readings: Brothers and sisters:
You are no longer strangers and sojourners,
but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones
and members of the household of God,
built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets. (Ephesians 2)

Prayer Meditation- Lord, as we celebrate the Feast of Saint Simon and Jude we meditate on what is means to be chosen for Your work of redemption. Because we are not strangers to You but members of Your household built upon the Apostolic foundation of the those who have gone before, fellow citizens with the saints. So let us stir up the fire in our hearts because we have been chosen by You to spread Your Kingdom on Earth no matter our state in life. All are called to desire this Kingdom to come into our hearts and into our families and to make loving sacrifices, as simple as a smile when we don’t feel like it or a sharp word held back out of love for You, because we are chosen and loved!
