Introduction
A year ago, while walking in Peace Valley Park, a beautiful park
near my home, I was praying the Rosary and I felt the Blessed
Mother put on my heart that I could write a book. As a matter of
fact, this would be the easiest book to write ever because most
of it is already written. I felt that the Lord wanted me to dig
deeper into the Diary of Elizabeth Kindleman, a lay woman who
heard from the Lord and Our Lady in a very big but very personal
way. Elizabeth Kindleman lived in Hungary and was a widow and
mother of six children. She worked many hard jobs and lived
under communism.
Like many of us, life for most part had beaten and worn her
down to point where she was not even sure she had faith
anymore. And it was at that low point, that Jesus and Mary
began to speak to her delivering an urgent message for our
times but also one of hope that we have not been forgotten but
that Our Lord even today is active in our world and in our lives.
Elizabeth was one of the little ones- she gave her Yes to Jesus
and Mary and began a hidden life of prayer and sacrifice despite
being an active mother and grandmother. As a matter of fact,
she was precisely chosen to deliver the Flame of Love message
because she was a mother!
I too am a mother with adult children- I am a convert from the
Methodist faith who came into the Church because of the illness
of one of my children and my need to follow and trust in Jesus
wherever He would lead me. As a former evangelical, I tend to
3
see everything through the eyes of Scripture, the living Word of

God. It is this Living Word and the Holy Spirit which led me to
the truth, beauty and goodness of The Catholic Church. My
confirmation name is Monica because, yep you guessed it, my
prime vocation is that of wife and mother. I too through the
Flame of Love Movement have felt led to pray and sacrifice for
my family, our Church, and our world leaving nothing on the
table! Like St. Therese, I want to come up to Jesus with empty
hands and a trusting heart- trusting solely in His Divine Mercy! I
want this Divine Mercy and the Flame of His Love through the
Immaculate Heart of Mary to be yours! Because He is a
Consuming Fire!
So, the year is now complete. I am now making the year of
meditations available to all of you who have been following
them. I will still continue to write the daily meditations so this is
Volume I.
My prayer meditations are the fruit of daily prayer time and
daily Mass, a good cup of coffee, and the movement of the Holy
Spirit during times of joy, peace, anxiety and worry, fear, and
sadness. The child whose illness brought me closer to Jesus was
very sick this year but by His Grace she is doing much better.
Despite trials and tribulations, Jesus has never let me go and His
Mother has never let me down. Thank you for reading these
words each day- may each word be a present to Our Lord and
King, My Jesus- my Rock and my Salvation! I will pray for all of
you- please pray for me! May the Grace of the Flame of Love live
in your heart and touch everyone you meet!
Love Multiplies!

we sang a dirge but you did not mourn. (Matthew 11)

time on entertainment and passing things. We are observers, fans even at times of our image of You, but are

that we most need it that we will persevere in returning love for love.

Rachel weeping for her children,
and she would not be consoled,
since they were no more. (Matthew 2)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, today, just like in the time of Herod, the innocent are being disposed of in this
throwaway culture. I know that Our Lady weeps and Your Sacred Heart is broken by how little we value life

now.

May our lips pray together to gain mercy from the Eternal Father.
Through this prayer, Satan will be blind and souls will not be led into sin. (Jesus) (Diary Page 25)

the world hates you.

to You!

77

so many byways that just leave us brokenhearted. The key to open the gate and to get back on the

will award to me on that day, and not only to me,
but to all who have longed for his appearance. (2 Timothy 4)

Today's Readings:
No one patches an old cloak with a piece of unshrunken cloth,

temperaments and personalities, habits, hangups- that is just me we say! But let us not stifle the Spirit-

wineskins and get ready to be filled with the new!

spirits are subject to you,
but rejoice because your names are written in heaven." (Luke 10)

humbly with You keeping our eyes fixed on You because we are lost without You!

Today's Readings:
You will cast into the depths of the sea
all our sins; (Micah 7)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord You have drowned our sins and weaknesses in the ocean of Your Mercy! You
have cast our baggage into the sea- never to be seen again! What amazing grace- a tidal wave of grace
longing to pull us from where we stand wading in the shallows into the deep where living water flows!
7/20 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Chosen for His Purpose
Wednesday of the Sixteenth Week of Ordinary Time
You see that almost no one is doing anything. The Flame of Love of My Mother is not yet going
forward. You, My little one, must stir up the fire because you have been chosen for this. This is a
great privilege. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 82)
Today's Readings:
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I dedicated you,
a prophet to the nations I appointed you. (Jeremiah 1)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, You have chosen us for Your Purpose and Your Glory. You knew us before we
were born and You appointed us to be born and to serve You in these perilous times! Lord, let us stir
into flame this gift You have given us for these times for You did not give us a spirit of fear but of power,
love, and self control!
7/21 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Still Sitting on the Fence?
Thursday of the Sixteenth Week of Ordinary Time
All are invited to join my special
fighting force. The coming of my Kingdom must be your only
purpose in life. My words will reach a multitude of souls. Trust! (Jesus) (Diary Page 46)
Today's Readings:
Because knowledge of the mysteries of the Kingdom of heaven
has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted.
To anyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich;
from anyone who has not, even what he has will be taken away (Matthew 13)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, how often do we sit on the fence- listening to Your Words but not listening
with our hearts. You call all to Your Kingdom and to those who listen to the call and answer it You pour
out the riches of Your Grace! Time is short- no time to be a fence sitter- O Lord may we be all in! Your
Kingdom come, Your Will be done!
87
7/22 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Longing for the Living God
Feast of St. Mary Magdalene
There is always a great and continual longing for God in my heart. I accepted life, death and
suffering according to His Holy Will. This filled me with such felicity that words cannot express it. My
heart throbbed with happiness. (Elizabeth) (Compendium Page 69)
Today's Readings:
O God, you are my God whom I seek;
for you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts
like the earth, parched, lifeless and without water.(Psalm 63)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, like Mary Magdalene, we are sinners saved by Grace- by the Living Water
that flows from Your Pierced Side. You have loved us while we were yet sinners- by faith we are saved! O
Lord like Mary Magdalene may we- loved and saved by You -continually long for You and seek You with
our whole hearts! As You call our name and send us out so that we may proclaim that You are alive and
we will never be the same!
7/23 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Even the Sparrow Knows that You Hold Tomorrow
Saturday of the Sixteenth Week of Ordinary Time
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 after they have
established their own homes. Great is the responsibility which falls upon you. Do not think that once a
child has become an adult, he no longer needs his parents. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 8)
Today's Readings: Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow a nest
in which she puts her young
Your altars, O LORD of hosts,
my king and my God! (Psalm 83)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, even the sparrow knows that You provide an eternal home for us so we have
nothing to fear. We need not fear that our children are away from You because we have put all our little
sparrows in Your care. Lord guide us in our prayers and sacrifices for our families and in keeping our
nests and our hearts open to all of our young people so in need of You!
7/24 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Persistence in Prayer
Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
We must intensify prayer. We must sacrifice for world peace
and for the salvation of souls. We must go to the limit. (Jesus) (Diary Page 121)
Today's Reading:
I tell you,
if he does not get up to give the visitor the loaves
because of their friendship,
88
he will get up to give him whatever he needs

because of his persistence. (Luke 11)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord Jesus today at Church You taught us how to pray- with perseverance and
persistence! You have asked us to never give up! Let our lips pray together to the Eternal Father to gain
mercy without ceasing!
7/25 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Leaky Vessels
Feast of St. James Apostle
Why do you prefer some passing goal? Do you not trust the value of sufferings? I give value to your
sufferings and it causes me sorrow if you do not appreciate them. I would think that you are not
accepting them with love. Without love, even great things have no value. (Jesus) (Compendium
Page 17)
Today's Readings:
We hold this treasure in earthen vessels,
that the surpassing power may be of God and not from us.
We are afflicted in every way, but not constrained;
perplexed, but not driven to despair;
persecuted, but not abandoned;
struck down, but not destroyed (2 Corinthians 4)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord we are but leaky vessels! We are nothing without You! O Lord let us turn from
the passing goals of this life this week and all of the pressures of the world that weigh us down and
accept with love our crosses great and small! Though we are afflicted and perplexed we are not driven to
despair and we are never abandoned because God is with us!
7/26 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- The Divine Gardener
Memorial of Saints Joachim and Anne, Parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Always give Me new and abundant sacrifices. I am sowing in your soul the seed of My graces, My
holy doctrine. Cultivate it in your soul by your prayers, mortifications, and a continual acceptance of
sacrifices. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 114)
Today's Readings:
He said in reply, He who sows good seed is the Son of Man,
the field is the world, the good seed the children of the Kingdom.
The weeds are the children of the Evil One,
and the enemy who sows them is the Devil. (Matthew 13)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord Jesus You are sowing the seeds of Your Grace into our souls! Yet we are
imperfect soil and there are weeds there planted by the world, the flesh, and the devil! O Lord help us to
cultivate the good seeds by cooperating with Your Grace every day in prayer and sacrifice for the love of
You!
89
7/27 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- If You Complain You Remain- If You Praise You Are
Raised!
Wednesday of the Seventeenth Week of Ordinary Time
Always
be silent so Gods voice can speak within you. (Jesus) (Diary Page 38)
Today's Readings: Thus the LORD answered me:
If you repent, so that I restore you,
in my presence you shall stand;
If you bring forth the precious without the vile,
you shall be my mouthpiece. (Jeremiah 15)
Prayer Meditation-O Lord, we complain so often like Jeremiah. Circumstances drag us down- we feel like
we are spinning our wheels. We feel rejected and let down by those we are trying to serve- burned out
and exhausted! Yet Lord You ask for our praise not our whining, fault finding, grumbling and
complaining! Lord let us be still and silent so that You can restore us so that only Your Precious Word
comes through us! Let us be worthy to be Your mouthpieces!
7/28 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- You are Still the Potter and I am Just the Clay!
Thursday of the Seventeenth Week of Ordinary Time
This time of grace
for the whole world is a holy Cause, but you cannot have feet of
clay. To put this into action, your soul must be strong like steel. (Jesus) (Diary Page 73)
Today's Readings:
Then the word of the LORD came to me:
Can I not do to you, house of Israel,
as this potter has done? says the LORD.
Indeed, like clay in the hand of the potter,
so are you in my hand, house of Israel. (Jeremiah 18)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord mold me into what You want me to be so my soul can be strong as steel even
if it hurts!
7/29 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Do We Really Believe?
Memorial of Saint Martha
Didnt I suffer to save souls? Believe in Me and adore Me. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 100)
Today's Readings:
Jesus told her,
I am the resurrection and the life;
whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live,
and anyone who lives and believes in me will never die.
Do you believe this? (John 11)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord in times of darkness and trial it can be so easy to become discouraged and
afraid and to want to give up. Like St. Martha we may even ask where were You? Yet Lord You stand
90
before us and with us in our pain and You hold out Your Pierced Hands and You ask us do we believe?
Jesus, let us trust in You always in the darkest valleys- You are the resurrection and the life!
7/30 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Turning Pain into Gain
Saturday of the Seventeenth Week of Ordinary Time
The continual desire to do my will is what makes
a saint. Loving me again and again is important. This effort
dispels my pain. What you give me each day is not important.
It is only important that you never stop giving. (Jesus) (Diary Page 86)
Today's Readings:
But I am afflicted and in pain;
let your saving help, O God, protect me.
I will praise the name of God in song,
and I will glorify him with thanksgiving.(Psalm 69)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, some days we are pain and afflicted physically, emotionally, and spiritually
and everything seems hard! Let us continually desire to do Your will doing little things with great love to
dispel the pain in Your Sacred Heart for those who don't. Let us praise Your Name and give You all of our
sufferings for Your Glory!
7/31 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- The Work of Our Hands
Eighteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time
My Kingdom grows in as much as you, mothers, nurture these created souls. You have the greatest
work requiring a heightened sense of responsibility. Be fully aware that I have placed in your hands
the task of leading a multitude of souls to eternal salvation. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 10)
Today's Readings:
Fill us at daybreak with your kindness,
that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days.
And may the gracious care of the LORD our God be ours;
prosper the work of our hands for us!
Prosper the work of our hands! (Psalm 90)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord You have placed in our hands an awesome responsibility in our respective
vocations- the responsibility of leading souls to You!. Let us not allow one moment to be wasted in
pursuit of the vain things of this world as our lives can change and can even be taken in an instant! Let
us not build up treasure on Earth but in Heaven! Lord prosper the work of our hands as we enter this
week and make us faithful to Your Kingdom in our families and workplaces!
8/1 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Multiplying Our Loaves and Fishes
Memorial of St. Alphonsus Liguori
Nor will you be able to account for or provide an explanation concerning the abundance of graces
received. This will leave a great many dumbfounded (Jesus) (Compendium Page 35)
Today's Readings:
Five loaves and two fish are all we have here.
Then he said, Bring them here to me,
and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass.
91
Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven,
he said the blessing, broke the loaves,
and gave them to the disciples,
who in turn gave them to the crowds.
They all ate and were satisfied, (Matthew 14)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, we often feel like we have so little to give. We look at ourselves and we so
nothing in us that You could possibly use. Yet You take our meager offerings and multiply them for Your
Glory! If we would but offer ourselves no matter how little or how broken You will indeed leave nothing
wasted- let us trust You Lord to work in us for Your Glory!
8/2 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Mouth Wash
Tuesday of the Eighteenth Week of Ordinary Time
Be quiet. Do you know who is
truly wise? The one who is silent. I prepared by thirty years of
silence for just three years of activity. Speak only when I give
you the signal. Speak only what I taught you. Few words will
produce abundant fruit. (Jesus) (Diary Page 48)
Today's Readings:
He summoned the crowd and said to them, Hear and understand.
It is not what enters ones mouth that defiles the man;
but what comes out of the mouth is what defiles one. (Matthew 15)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, the mouth can be a dangerous thing- we will account for every word that we
have spoken. Yet all sorts of words come out of our mouths- our words can be weapons of destruction or
instruments in Your Hands. Let us be silent so we can hear Your voice and use our lips to praise You and
encourage others. Put a guard on our mouths so that is You that will speak through us to others today!
8/3 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Come Boldly to the Throne of Grace
Wednesday of the Eighteenth Week of Ordinary Time
The Lord Jesus told me that He had just given me, with wonderful strength, the grace of faith and
confidence, because without these two virtues, no
other virtues can take root in either me, or in any other soul. (Elizabeth) (Compendium Page 30)
Today's Readings: Then Jesus said to her in reply,
O woman, great is your faith!
Let it be done for you as you wish.
And her daughter was healed from that hour. (Matthew 15)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, may we be like the Caananite Woman! May we come to You with faith and
confidence that You can do all things because You are all good! Let us never give up- even if
circumstances seem hopeless. Let us amaze Jesus today with our faith and trust!
8/4 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Obstacle Course
Memorial of St. John Vianney
92
Our Lady promised, In spite of objections, bad intentions and

obstacles, my Cause will succeed. Always be humble. Only
a humble soul can fulfill our Cause. (Mary) (Diary Page 46)
Today's Readings:
Then Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him,
God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you.
He turned and said to Peter,
Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me.
You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do. (Matthew 16)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord our souls are so often obstacle courses. We set up barriers and wallsobjections, worries, fears. You want to work in us but we go our own way following our own ideas- yes
even believers! O Lord- remove the obstacles from heart, soul, and mind- help us renew our minds each
day and put on Christ so that we are equipped to do Your will and not our own!
8/5 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- The Way of the Cross
Friday of the Eighteenth Week of Ordinary Time
On Friday, immerse yourself in my Sacred Passion. During
the day, meditate on the Way of the Cross. From noon to three,
adore my sacred wounds. (Note, this can be done even at work
or school.) (Jesus) (Diary Page 28)
Today's Readings: Jesus said to his disciples,
Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,
take up his cross, and follow me.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world
and forfeit his life? (Matthew 16)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, so many want to avoid the cross in their lives. We want everything easy- we
want our Heaven here! But there is no way to Heaven except through the Cross of Jesus. We have so
many crosses- family worries, health concerns, work problems, the state of our nation and our world,
our own helplessness to avoid sin. But if we unite them to Your Cross Lord throughout our day out of
love for You and for the salvation of souls You will be faithful and You will walk us through the valley!
8/6 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- From Glory to Glory to Glory
Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord
When your body leaves the earth, you will enjoy this glory with Me, impacting favorably on the souls
living on earth. Repeat frequently with the angels, Glory to God. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 73)
Today's Readings:
Jesus took Peter, John, and James
and went up a mountain to pray.
While he was praying his face changed in appearance
and his clothing became dazzling white. (Luke 9)
93
Prayer Meditation- O Lord we do not deserve Your Glory! Here on Earth, You show us only a glimpse,
through a glass darkly as it were, what is waiting for us in Heaven- someday we shall see face to face! O
Lord let us sing of Your Glory always! Eye has not seen and ear has not heard what You have prepared
for those who love You!
8/7 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- People Get Ready!
Nineteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time
Many souls receive
abundant graces but they are not prepared for them and the
graces drain out. (Jesus) (Diary Page 100)
Today's Readings:
Gird your loins and light your lamps
and be like servants who await their masters return from a wedding,
ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks. (Luke 12)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord we act like we have all the time in the world. We receive Your Graces through
Your Word and through Sacraments and in the many blessings of our lives even if we are not faithful to
the Sacraments. Yet we do not properly prepare ourselves for Your coming which could be at any timeYou will call us home to You whether we are here for Your Return or not. Sooner or later we will meet
You face to face! O Lord let our hearts be ready to receive You at any time- let us stay connected by
reading the Word and by prayer and by staying close to Our Mother Mary and Our Mother The Church!
8/8 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Tuning into the Praise Channel
The Lord said, For this great praise, I bless you.
Possibly I misunderstood and was about to erase these words.
The Lord said, Do not do that. I give everything to a soul that
returns my love. (Jesus/Elizabeth) (Diary Page 88)
Today's Readings:
Praise the name of the LORD,
for his name alone is exalted;
His majesty is above earth and heaven. (Psalm 148)
Prayer Meditation: Lord we praise You- we bless Your Name- we love You and adore You! O Lord let us
return love for love- let us hear You whisper in our souls Your everlasting love for us and tune out
everything else!
8/9 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Searching for His Little Ones
Tuesday of the Nineteenth Week of Ordinary Time
Our thoughts must be oneto
save souls from eternal damnation. Do you know how much
my soul suffers because souls are lost? (Jesus) (Diary Page 52)
Today's Readings:
94
What is your opinion?

If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray,
will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills
and go in search of the stray?
And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it
than over the ninety-nine that did not stray.
In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father
that one of these little ones be lost. (Matthew 18)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord we are all Your little ones- all precious in Your sight. Your Will is that none
would be lost- all paid for by Your Precious Blood. O Lord may we console You in our works of mercy
and our prayers and sacrifices as we join You in Your thirst for souls! Lord please let none of our little
ones- spouses, children, friends, coworkers be lost- may they through the Flame of Love of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary accept Your Saving Grace!
8/10 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Going on a Wheat Free Diet
Feast of St. Lawrence
Your inner martyrdom is
my will and Satan cannot stop it. This inner battle brings forth
great fruit, just as external martyrdom does. You must never be
half hearted. (Jesus) (Diary Page 45)
Today's Readings:
Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies,
it remains just a grain of wheat;
but if it dies, it produces much fruit. (John 12)
Prayer Meditation- Lord let us never be half hearted! Let us let go of whatever grain of wheat is holding
us back from following You! Is it our careers, our pride and sense of self worth, our inordinate
attachment to others and to things? Is it all of the above? Lord let these attachments fall like grains of
wheat so that You can produce much fruit in us- we are not battling alone so let us never give up and let
us like St. Lawrence be cheerful and brave!
8/11 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Remembering His Mercy
Memorial of Saint Claire
Gratitude is all I want in return. Tell Me just one word: Thanks. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 121)
Today's Readings:
I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to.
Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant,
as I had pity on you? (Matthew 18)
95
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, so often we are lacking gratitude- You forgive our sins and we act like it is no
big deal. We do not show the same mercy to others- we feel entitled and spoiled and we have very short
memories. Yet it can be so easy- all You want is our gratitude and trust and to show the same mercy to
others because we never forget that we are but unworthy sinners saved by Your Grace. Lord help us to
remember Your Mercy and may a song of thanksgiving be always on our lips!
8/12 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Covered with Confusion
In spring 1971 I was in total darkness from grave doubts. I
asked the Lord to scatter my confusion. O Lord, if this Cause
is authentic, then why must I live in darkness? (Elizabeth) (Diary Page 119)
Today's Readings:
For I will re-establish my covenant with you,
that you may know that I am the LORD,
that you may remember and be covered with confusion,
and that you may be utterly silenced for shame
when I pardon you for all you have done, says the Lord GOD. (Ezekiel 16)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, Your Mercy is so relentless and never lets up- You seek us and pardon us!
Lord sometimes Your ways can cause such confusion in our hearts- confusion about why You love us so
much in the first place as Your love is unchanging no matter what we do and confusion at times about
what it is that You want us to do even if we think we are walking the right path. Are we on the right
track? Lord help us to be still to know always that You are Lord and we are not and Your ways are not
our ways. The antidote for confusion is trust even when we can't see what is in front of us.
8/13 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Little Sacrifices
Saturday of the Nineteenth Week of Ordinary Time
I am happy with this work.
Do not be so ambitious. I am happy with little sacrifices.
You think you will be a saint if you do great things. You are
mistaken. Great things bring glory to you. We will gather small
sacrifices. (Jesus) (Diary Page 57)
Today's Readings:
Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them;
for the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. (Matthew 19)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who will humble themselves like
little children. We all want to do big things for You but who is that all really for- us or You? Lord, let us
be content in our littleness as we trust in You and offer our loving little offerings. We treasure the little
homemade gifts our children give to us- You do the same with us, treasuring our little loving efforts to
please You with our sacrifices of praise and trust. Smiling when we don't feel like it- not complainingthese little gifts are precious in Your sight!
8/14 Too much good material today so there will be two Consuming Fire Meditations today- like
St. Therese I choose all!
Today's Consuming Fire Meditation #1- Marathon Training
Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
To desire requires
sacrifices. A child perseveres in his studies to be an excellent
pupil. The athlete who wants to win accepts every sacrifice.
96
The father makes many sacrifices to have his family. Desires

and sacrifices are inseparable. (Jesus) (Diary Page 90)
Today's Readings:
Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,
let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us
and persevere in running the race that lies before us
while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus,
the leader and perfecter of faith. (Hebrews 12)
Prayer Meditation: Lord, we are surrounded by those who have gone before us in faith- they cheer us on
as if we are Olympic marathon runners! We keep our eyes on You Lord, shedding every burden and sin
as we persevere in running our race- even if we stumble across that finish line! We desire You for
eternity so we train by accepting our sacrifices, the ones You have picked just for us!
8/14 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation #2- Soul on Fire
Twentieth Sunday of Ordinary Time
His longing for souls burned with a fire that
constantly grew within me. (Elizabeth) (Diary Page 112)
Today's Readings:
I have come to set the earth on fire,
and how I wish it were already blazing! (Luke 12)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, fill us with Your Spirit until we are Souls on Fire for You! Let us know Your
longing for souls- let us long for Your Flame of Love to ignite in the souls of those we love, those who are
away from faith, in our nation, in our world! Consume us Lord with the Fire of Your Love- let us want
what You want nothing else!
8/15 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Blessed Are They That Believe
Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Believe the words, If
each Christian saved just one soul, no one would be lost. (Jesus) (Diary Page 84)
Today's Readings:
Blessed are you who believed
that what was spoken to you by the Lord
would be fulfilled. (Luke 1)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord blessed is She who believed and followed You. Blessed is Her Glorious
Assumption into Heaven where she intercedes for us! O Lord may we believe and act on Your Word like
Our Blessed Mother. Let us never doubt that our prayers in union with Mary in the Rosary are the
weapon for our time and for saving souls! Lord we believe Your Word today- help us to follow You!
97
8/16 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- It is You Who Deals Death and Gives Life (Today's
Responsorial)
Tuesday of the Twentieth Week of Ordinary Time
This stream of water is My grace which purifies, which destroys when need be, or saves and gives
life. It must run because God wills it. (Jesus) (Diary Page 88)
Today's Readings:
How could one man rout a thousand,
or two men put ten thousand to flight,
Unless it was because their Rock sold them
and the LORD delivered them up? (Deuteronomy 32)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, our lives are in Your Hands. We think we are in control but we are far from it.
We have won no victories without You and we cannot be saved without You! You give and You take
away- Your Living Water purifying us every step of the way! Lord we surrender to Your Grace!
8/17 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- It's Five O Clock Somewhere
Wednesday of the Twentieth Week of Ordinary Time
The central goal is the salvation of every soul in the world.(Jesus) (Diary Page 124)
Today's Readings:
Going out about five oclock,
he found others standing around, and said to them,
Why do you stand here idle all day?
They answered, Because no one has hired us.
He said to them, You too go into my vineyard. (Matthew 20)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord You want no one to be lost- even the five o'clock laborers, the ones who are
late to Your table. O Lord let us make our efforts to bring those five o'clock souls to You- who have we
not invited? Let us not pick and choose who should come! And if like me Lord, we are the "late" ones
who are paid the same let Your praise be always on our lips in gratitude that You have invited us to the
Wedding Feast of the Lamb- let us not delay!
8/18 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Clearing Out the Dust Bunnies!
Thursday of the Twentieth Week of Ordinary Time
Many souls are like this
altar, allowing dust to gather for years. These souls are gray and
dusty. By their bad example, many, many souls are soiled. They
do not realize this and they avoid what is difficult. (Jesus) (Diary Page 82)
Today's Readings:
I will sprinkle clean water upon you
to cleanse you from all your impurities,
and from all your idols I will cleanse you.
I will give you a new heart and place a new spirit within you,
98
taking from your bodies your stony hearts

and giving you natural hearts. (Ezekiel 36)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, it is so easy to let dust accumulate- we don't even see it. We may even be
attached to our dust bunnies- we make idols of so many things that cause impurities in our souls. Our
wedding garments are soiled and we don't even see it- or if we see it we don't want to deal with getting
rid of what still clings to us! O Lord only you have the antidote for our dusty souls- Lord sprinkle the
Living Water of Your Word and Your Sacraments on us so that we will be well dressed wearing only a
humble and contrite heart!
8/19 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Dry Bones Hear the Word of the Lord!
Friday of the Twentieth Week of Ordinary Time
You will suffer a great
spiritual dryness. Different temptations will torment you. Have
total confidence. This is the key to my heart.(Jesus) (Diary Page 26)
Today's Readings:
Prophesy over these bones, and say to them:
Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!
Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones:
See! I will bring spirit into you, that you may come to life. (Ezekiel 37)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord breathe Your Life into our dry bones- at times we can feel so dry and so
remote from You. So alone in this Valley of Tears- so tempted by the world, the flesh, and the devil. Lord
we have total confidence in You that Your Spirit will speak life into what needs revival in us- let us only
ask and speak Your Promises out loud to those dry bones and Your Spirit will fall on us like healing rain!
8/20 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Living Examples
Memorial of Saint Bernard
He often complained about consecrated souls, They live more
for the world than for my redemptive work. He said, Do not
spare yourself. Know no limit. Do not separate yourself from
my work for even one moment. (Jesus) (Diary Page 24)
Today's Readings:
The scribes and the Pharisees
have taken their seat on the chair of Moses.
Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you,
but do not follow their example.
For they preach but they do not practice. )Matthew 23)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord we put ourselves out there as Christians to the world-is that what people see?
Do they hear us preaching and then see us living for the world just like everyone else? Are we just a
terrible example- stumbling blocks to Your Grace? Lord, help us, each one of us, to put our houses in
order and to not spare ourselves in our efforts to be Apostles of the Flame of Love. Help us know no
limits in self donation to spread Your Cause because only in loving You and putting You first can we
bring others to You! Help us not to live for honors in this world but for You alone!

Road!

So strengthen your drooping hands and your weak knees.
Make straight paths for your feet,

weak, are hands and hearts are drooping, and we fall time and time again! We feel so lame and yet You

Today's Readings:

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites.

You cleanse the outside of cup and dish,
but inside they are full of plunder and self-indulgence.
Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup,
so that the outside also may be clean. (Matthew 23)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, we can be so blind. We work on appearances and outer practices and pay no
attention to the mess we are inside. When we get a glimpse by Your Grace it can be discouraging but we
know that You will never abandon us. Only You can purify the inside by Your Cleansing Blood -Lord let
us hold onto You and never let You go as You heal us from the inside out!
8/24 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Every Moment of Our Lives
Feast of Saint Bartholomew
When you were

by becoming the top student. Even then, my hand was upon
you. (Jesus) (Diary Page 59)
Today's Readings:
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him,
Here is a true child of Israel.

Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree. (John 1)

not a moment that Your Loving Gaze has not been upon us-You know us inside and out! Lord we are
amazed and in awe of Your love for us in every moment of our lives. May we hear the same loving
tribute from Your Lips when we meet You face to face that St. Bartholomew (Nathanael) heard!
8/25 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Prepared for His Grace
Thursday of the Twenty First Week in Ordinary Time
By your sacrifices, you have dug a deep channel and the water of My Divine graces, with its
purifying power, has found a place in your soul. If you had not prepared this deep channel by your
sacrifices, the purifying water of My graces would have drained off. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 46)
Today's Readings:
Stay awake!
For you do not know on which day your Lord will come.
Be sure of this:
if the master of the house
had known the hour of night when the thief was coming,
he would have stayed awake
101
and not let his house be broken into.

So too, you also must be prepared,
for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come. (Matthew 24)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, please help us to be ready for You to call us at any time! Help us to keep
preparing the way for Your Grace by prayer and sacrifices- returning Your Great Love with our own
little love. Lord give us Your Love so we can love You with Your Love as we can do nothing on our own.
Prepare our hearts so that we are a deep channel of Your Purifying Living Water ready to rise up and
greet You when You call our name!

Friday of the Twenty First Week in Ordinary Time
Why are you surprised? I shed all the drops of my
blood to save everyone. With all your strength, you must want
the same thing, that everyone be saved. (Jesus) (Diary Page 110)
Today's Readings:
The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. (1 Corinthians)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, lead us to Your Wondrous Cross- a stumbling block to those who do not yet
believe but the only way to everlasting life for those who are being saved. Lord let us unite our prayers
to Yours at Mass today and every day for the salvation of souls! Eternal Father, I offer You the Body,
Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ- in atonement for our sins
and those of the whole world!
8/27 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Talent on Loan from God
Memorial of St. Monica
As a working mother with six children, burdened with a thousand preoccupations, you needed
enormous effort to study. You surprised yourself by becoming the top student. Although you did not
think of Me, My hand was upon you. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 45)
Today's Readings: Jesus told his disciples this parable:
A man going on a journey
called in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them.
To one he gave five talents; to another, two; to a third, one
to each according to his ability. (Matthew 25)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, let us like St. Monica use every tool and talent to bring others to You,
especially our loved ones! Your Hand is upon us through our whole lives- You give us everything we
need to do Your Will even when we have no idea that Your Hand of Blessing is upon us! Let us not bury
anything You give us in the ground- let Your gifts multiply in us by our cooperation with Your Grace!
8/28 Today's Readings- Raising Up the Lowly
Twenty Second Sunday of Ordinary Time
Live hidden in great humility. Except for a few persons, no one should know about you. You will gain
merits by your sufferings. These you must offer in union with Me to the Eternal Father for the souls
102
consecrated to Me. May your humility be so great that you radiate goodness and love to all whom
you meet. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 37)
Today's Readings:
For every one who exalts himself will be humbled,
but the one who humbles himself will be exalted. (Luke 14)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, You have scattered the proud hearted and have raised up the lowly! Let us
radiate Your goodness and love Lord to all we meet- cast out from us what is in the way of Your Grace!
Let us not be a stumbling block because of our own pride and vanity! Let us sing with Mary- My soul
glorifies the Lord! Like Her let us sing Your praises with thanksgiving and humility because You alone
have done great things!
8/29 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Meditating on the Word!

How I love your law, O LORD!
It is my meditation all the day. (Psalm 119)

Love. You are the Living Word made Flesh for us- Our Rescue and Our Redeemer! Help us like Elizabeth

hands gather together in unity Lord as we meditate on Your Saving Word all the day long!
8/30 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Putting on the Mind of Christ
Tuesday of the Twenty Second Week of Ordinary Time
All this gave rise to new struggles, but the Lord enlightened my mind and

For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to counsel him?
But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, help us put on the mind of Christ for we were not given the spirit of the world
but Your Holy Spirit! In our struggles to be faithful in our families and in our work help us to sacrifice in

the power of the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary!

Our soul waits for the LORD,
who is our help and our shield,
For in him our hearts rejoice;
in his holy name we trust. (Psalm 33)

and it is so hard to wait for what we are asking for in prayer- Lord help us to wait in patient hope and
abandonment, attentive to Your Voice in our souls. May we rejoice and trust that all of Your Promises
are true as we wait in prayer for Your saving help to arrive in all of our circumstances today!
9/1 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Into the Deep
Thursday of the Twenty Second Week in Ordinary Time
He repeated this pledge, I love you much, My Elizabeth. I want this love to penetrate your soul
deeply. I, the Lord, make this confession and I anxiously desire your reciprocal love. Later, He
almost shouted in my soul. Love Me above everything! (Jesus/Elizabeth) (Compendium Page 42)
Today's Readings:
After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,
Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.
Simon said in reply,
Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing,
but at your command I will lower the nets. (Luke 5)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord You call us into the deep, Into the great unknown even when we are tired and
burned out and ready to just get some rest. You supply our needs and multiply our blessings when we
are ready to give up and all that You ask is that we give you one thing- our everything! Lord, open our
hearts so that we can obey Your call- to drop our nets and follow You into the deep even when oceans
rise!
9/2 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Pour Out Your New Wine Lord into Our Souls!
Friday of the Twenty Second Week of Ordinary Time
My adorable Jesus, what are You doing with such an unworthy person? With an inspiration as soft
as a sigh, He poured out in my heart the feeling that, at that moment, in a direct soaring, He was
drawing my soul to the infinite love of His Divine Being. (Elizabeth) (Compendium Page 33)
Today's Readings:
Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins.
Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins,
and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined.
Rather, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins.
And no one who has been drinking old wine desires new,
for he says, The old is good.
104
Prayer Meditation: O Lord You tell us that new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins. The wineskins
of our souls become fresh by repentance and when we have humble and contrite hearts! Lord help us
desire this new wine to be poured into our souls as unworthy as we are!
9/3 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Fools for Christ
Memorial of St. Gregory the Great
I am either a fool and a liar or what is happening in me is true. If it is true, then I cannot stand around
with my arms folded while souls are perishing. (Elizabeth) (Compendium Page 151)
Today's Readings:
When ridiculed, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;
when slandered, we respond gently.
We have become like the worlds rubbish, the scum of all,
to this very moment. (1 Corinthians 4)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, what is foolish to the world is wise in Your eyes! Either You are the Truth,
The Way, and The Life or we are deluded- and how often the world sees us as deluded indeed or even
worse as St. Paul tells us! But we can't stand around waiting for the world to love us and worrying about
human respect- souls perish while we drag our feet! O Lord let us be fools for You- use us to shame the
wise for Your Glory!
9/4 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- The Gracious Care of the Lord
Twenty Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
And so, for my little strength, the work was excessive. I felt that I could not carry on. I begged
the Lord in His kindness to give me strength. (Elizabeth) (Compendium Page 9)
Today's Readings:
And may the gracious care of the LORD our God be ours;
prosper the work of our hands for us!
Prayer Meditation: O Lord we become so easily overwhelmed by the demands of life- we are helpless
without You! We fail in our own strength! Yet Your Mercies are new each morning - may Your Gracious
Care indeed be ours! Prosper us to perform the works You have set before us for Your Glory Lord!
9/5 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- His Outstretched Hands
Monday of the Twenty Third Week of Ordinary Time
My hair is soaked in blood. My feet are chapped from having followed you. 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) (Compendium Page 125)
Today's Readings:
Then Jesus said to them,
I ask you, is it lawful to do good on the sabbath
rather than to do evil,
to save life rather than to destroy it?
Looking around at them all, he then said to him,
Stretch out your hand.
He did so and his hand was restored. (Luke 6)
105
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, You ask us to stretch out our hands to You in faith and trust for healing- to do
good for us and not evil, to save our lives, not to destroy us! And You do the same for us- Your Hand
always stretched out to us asking for us to open our hearts to You. You reach out to us in blessing and
You stretched out Your Healing Hands for us on the Cross for love of us! Lord let us not harden and close
our hearts to Your presence in Your Word, Your Eucharistic Presence, and in the sick and the poor
around us.
9/6 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- His Healing Touch
Tuesday of the Twenty Third Week of Ordinary Time
Did you enjoy the hymn? I was the One who touched you by the melody. This is the hymn which we
like the most. I use it to praise you because you so much love the silence of the church where I
dwell. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 44)
Today's Readings:
Everyone in the crowd sought to touch him
because power came forth from him and healed them all. (Luke 6)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord Jesus- just a touch of Your favor turns any situation around! You alone have
the power to heal us of all of our infirmities! Today Lord You reach out with Your Healing Touch in Your
Word, in Your Sacraments, in the silence, through the words of others, in nature, in our circumstances,
and even in the songs we sing to You in praise! Lord let us always seek You in our everyday lives trusting
that You call us to You in every circumstance!
9/7 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- In a World of Woe
Wednesday of the Twenty Third Week of Ordinary Time
They avoid what is difficult, and as the years go on, their soul becomes grey and covered with dust.
Woe to them, because through example they influence others. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 127)
But woe to you who are rich,
for you have received your consolation.
But woe to you who are filled now,
for you will be hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will grieve and weep.
Woe to you when all speak well of you,
for their ancestors treated the false
prophets in this way. (Luke 6)
Prayer Meditation- Lord we live in a world of woe- woes that are of our own making. We love comfort,
escape, food, drink, entertainment, the esteem of others as if all of these things could possibly fill the God
sized hole in our souls! Lord we lay it all down- empty us so that we can be filled with You and You
alone- our one true Love!
9/8 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Walking with Our Mother
Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
106
Let us set out, my little Carmelite, together with Saint Joseph. You must walk with us along
Bethlehems dark roads covered with mist. You have to seek a refuge for my Flame of Love which is
Jesus Christ himself. Do you want to come with us? Because it is now that we are leaving to carry
on my Flame of Love. You will receive strength and grace from us. (Mary) (Compendium Page 60)
Today's Readings:
All this took place to fulfill
what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel,
which means God is with us. (Matthew 1)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord You chose to come to this world as a little child- Mary's child so that You
could live among us! Our Blessed Mother gave Her Fiat to Your Salvation Plan without knowing the
details or how it would all work out- Lord we thank You for Her trusting and obedient Heart filled with
humility and docility! Our Mother today asks us to walk with Her as she continues the mission she
accepted at the Annunciation- to be Our Mother in the order of Grace and to bring us to Jesus! Let us
work with Our Holy Mother- the new Ark of the Covenant to bring the souls of our loved ones to You
through this special time of Mercy and Grace- let us work with Her to spread Her Flame of Love which is
Jesus Himself so that hearts would open to You in these dark times!
9/9 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Just Do It!
Memorial of Saint Peter Claver
You no longer doubt that I have chosen you to be a worker of Redemption. Many missionary priests
cannot do more than you do. Your constantly renewed sacrifices and unceasing efforts are most pleasing
to Me. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 89)
Today's Readings:
Do you not know that the runners in the stadium all run in the race,
but only one wins the prize?
Run so as to win.
Every athlete exercises discipline in every way.
They do it to win a perishable crown,
but we an imperishable one. (1 Corinthians 9)
Prayer Meditation: Lord we are all running the race to win the prize- the imperishable crown of Your
Glory! This is not a sprint, it is a marathon and we win by never ever giving up in our efforts to be saints!
Yes You have called us all to be great saints- especially in these times- let us renew our sacrifices and
efforts no matter how small they may seem in the natural knowing that You will multiply these efforts
for the salvation of souls. Let us now grow lazy or weary in doing good!
9/10 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- We Won't Be Shaken
Saturday of the Twenty Third Week of Ordinary Time
Whoever serve Me, My little one, cannot be a reed bending in the wind. She must persevere firmly at
My side with an unshakable determination. Your soul cannot bow to anything that does not serve
Me. Again, My little one, I ask that you persevere with Me. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 118)
107
Today's Readings:
I will show you what someone is like who comes to me,
listens to my words, and acts on them.
That one is like a man building a house,
who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock;
when the flood came, the river burst against that house
but could not shake it because it had been well built. (Luke 6)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, help us look like the ones who come to You- who build their lives on the Rock
of Your Word! Help us not to bow to anything that is not of You! Lord with You at our sides we will not
be shaken in the eye of the storm- help us to persevere in any trial or tribulation confident that You are
our sure foundation!
9/10 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Mercifully Treated
Twenty Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time
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. (Elizabeth) (Compendium Page 45)
Today's Readings:
Beloved:
I am grateful to him who has strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord,
because he considered me trustworthy
in appointing me to the ministry.
I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and arrogant,
but I have been mercifully treated
because I acted out of ignorance in my unbelief.
Indeed, the grace of our Lord has been abundant,
along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. (1 Timothy 1)
Prayer Meditation: Lord we deserve Your Wrath because we are indeed prodigal children who think we
know what we want and we deserve! How many times have we rolled in the pig pen rather than admit
You are right? How many times have we acted arrogantly in our ignorance and unbelief? Yet Your
Compassion and Patience are limitless and You reward us richly for any move toward Your Mercy! Let
us be grateful and may You consider us trustworthy in living the ministry You have given us!
9/12 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- We Are Living Hosts
Optional Memorial of The Holy Name of Mary
I give Myself. After receiving My Precious Blood, examine your souls and become aware of the
exhilaration that the power of My Precious Blood brings about in you. Do not be so insensitive. Let
not routine lead you to my holy table. To the degree that you remain united to Me, My Precious
Blood will burn sin out of your souls. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 119)
Today's Readings:
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup,
you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes. (1 Corinthians 11)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, let us not be insensitive to Your Real Presence within us- let us never present
ourselves to You at Mass in a routine manner! Lord You are living in us- we are living Hosts! You are
108
truly Emmanuel- God with us! Help us to be thankful for the daily gift of Your Very Self and help us to
stay united to Your Sacred Heart throughout the day as we serve You in others! Let us proclaim Your
Holy Name and the Holy Name of Mary as we ask to be enfolded in Your Two Hearts!
9/13 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- God Has Visited His People
Memorial of St. John Chrysotom
Many times, Jesus surprised Elizabeth by His unexpected visits: When I arrived home (this
happened on the threshold, even before having entered), suddenly and unexpectedly, the Lord
Jesus was at my side. I did not see Him. He put His hand on my shoulder, touched my right shoulder
twice and said, My little one, persevere by My side and suffer with Me. (Elizabeth/Jesus)
Today's Readings:
Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming,
A great prophet has arisen in our midst,
and God has visited his people. (Luke 7)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord You visit Your People in our sufferings and grief and in our everyday lives!
You reach out and touch us- You speak to us in the quiet of our souls. You speak to us in Your Word and
You visit us in the most profound way in The Holy Eucharist! O Lord may we make ourselves still enough
to know that You are there and welcome Your Visitation always into our hearts!
9/14 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- For God So Loved the World
Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross
Did I not shed all the drops of My Blood for all of you? My Will is to save everyone. (Jesus) (Compendium
Page 130)
Today's Readings:
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him might not perish
but might have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world might be saved through him. (John 3)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord You so loved the world that You gave Your only Begotten Son so that we can
have everlasting life! You did not come to condemn us but to save us! How can we not take up our
crosses and follow You- only You have the Words of Eternal Life!
9/15 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Standing by The Cross with Mary
Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows
Only a mother can truly share my sorrows. I am the Mother of Sorrows, I suffer greatly because of
the souls being lost. I am tortured in pain as I grieve for the suffering of my Divine Son. Never
despise any tiredness. Be my eternal companion helping me bear my sufferings. This is what I ask
of you. (Mary) (Compendium Page 10)
Today's Readings:
109
Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother

and his mothers sister, Mary the wife of Clopas,
and Mary Magdalene.
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.
And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. (John 19)
Prayer Meditation- O Mother of Sorrows- You understand our suffering over our families particularly
when our children are sick or in trouble. You stood at The Cross- Our Mother given to us by Your Divine
Son. Let us be Your eternal companions standing by The Cross with You -let Your strength be our
strength in any trial as we together with You Mary console the Heart of Jesus! O Blessed Mother- Our
Lady of Sorrows pray for us!

Memorial of Saint Cornelius and Saint Cyprian
I know that you also hope for the moment when nothing will separate us anymore. I wait for you with
all My riches. We will be totally one and indivisible. I know your heart is beating with joy and I rejoice
with you. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 73)
Today's Readings:
If Christ is preached as raised from the dead,
how can some among you say there is no resurrection of the dead? (1 Corinthians 15)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord You have defeated death- You are Our Resurrected King! You walk with us
through our life and You wait for us in Heaven when we will behold Your Face at last! We are
Resurrection people- why do we live as ones who have no hope? Every moment of our lives lived for You
will be rewarded- even now You prepare us by pouring out Your Grace in Your Word and in Your
Sacraments so let us not fear or despair!
9/17 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Free to Stand On His Promises!
Saturday of the Twenty Fourth Week in Ordinary Time
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) (Compendium Page 74)
Today's Readings:
Now I know that God is with me.
In God, in whose promise I glory,
in God I trust without fear;
what can flesh do against me? (Psalm 56)
Prayer Meditation: Lord You have called us all to Your salvific work- like St. Paul says in Galatians 3:28
we are all one in Christ Jesus! You have given us true spiritual freedom Lord Jesus and we trust in You-
110

Power of the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary!
9/18 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- From Small Things Great Things One Day Come
Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Suffer with courage, perseverance and a sincere abandonment. Dont
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) (Compendium Page 19)
Today's Readings:
The person who is trustworthy in very small matters
is also trustworthy in great ones;
and the person who is dishonest in very small matters
is also dishonest in great ones.
If, therefore, you are not trustworthy with dishonest wealth,
who will trust you with true wealth?
If you are not trustworthy with what belongs to another,
who will give you what is yours? (Luke 16)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord You give us many small things every day and many opportunities to be
faithful- are we watching and listening? In that smile to others when we feel sick or sad, in small
sacrifices for others even if it is just yielding a parking spot. In being patient and calm when the stress of
every day hits- when we are quiet when we really just want to tell somebody off or when we accept with
grace all of life's trials giving our little Yeses to Your Will. All these small things done with love for Jesus
and to save souls- Lord let us hear and see You always in all circumstances!
9/19 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Shine Through Us
Monday of the Twenty Fifth Week of Ordinary Time
Now, only beauty shines forth from you. Although you feel the misery of your soul, others will not.
The richness of My Divinity will radiate from your soul and you will be able to distribute it to others. In
one word, I have made you an administrator of My graces. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 56)
Today's Readings:
No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel
or sets it under a bed;
rather, he places it on a lampstand
so that those who enter may see the light. (Luke 8)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, You want to shine through us so that others would see You and not us! You
want Your Beauty to shine through us like a light on a lamp stand so that those we meet may see Your
Light! Lord make us Your instruments- little lamps illuminating the way to You no matter how we may
feel!
9/20 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Grace Streams Down and Covers Me
Memorial of Saints Andrew Kim Tae-gon, Priest, and Paul Chong Ha-sang, and Companions,
Martyrs
As He was saying those words, a powerful stream of His graces entered my soul. The Lord Jesus
asked if I understood. With His enlightened words, He poured out the wonderful grace of the Holy
Spirit, the Spirit of Power, and the wonderful light of the Holy Spirit enlightened my soul. (Elizabeth)
111
Today's Readings:
Like a stream is the kings heart in the hand of the LORD;
wherever it pleases him, he directs it. (Proverbs 21)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, You hold our hearts and You direct our steps. You pour out Your Grace- by
Your Word and Your Stripes we are healed! Lord pour out Your Living Water, Your Holy Spirit into our
day today- take our hearts wherever it pleases You !

Feast of St. Matthew
My dear child, wish Me many, many souls. This is My only request. Souls! Oh, how I long for
sinners! (Jesus) (Compendium Page 129)
Today's Readings:
Go and learn the meaning of the words,
I desire mercy, not sacrifice.
I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.
Prayer Meditation: O Lord You come for sinners! You come for us! You come for us in our weakness,
brokenness, sickness, and sin! None of us are too far gone- You long to pour out Your Mercy on our
wounded hearts! O Lord Jesus come into our hearts today and heal us by just a touch of Your Grace- lead
us to Your Saving Word and Your Healing Sacraments! Let us dedicate ourselves to bringing you many
souls in our hurting world! You are our only Hope!
9/22 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Joy Comes in the Morning
Thursday of the Twenty Fifth Week of Ordinary Time
All morning, even as I completed my household tasks, it was as if I was not living on earth. The tasks
did not occupy my mind. I was entirely possessed by the presence of the Lord Jesus and the
Blessed Virgin. (Elizabeth) (Compendium Page 34)
Today's Readings:
Prosper the work of our hands for us!
Prayer Meditation: O Lord our daily routines can seem so monotonous and hard- what is all of it even
worth? Yet Your Mercies are new each morning! Lord fill us with Your Kindness that we may praise You
in our everyday tasks today no matter how small and mundane! Fill us with Your Joy that we may be
possessed by You!
9/23 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Time for Every Purpose Under Heaven
Memorial of St. Pius of Pietrelcina
Time is short, little sister, and never returns. What you do not accept at a given moment will
never again become available to you, because I think that you would not receive it willingly. (Jesus)
Today's Readings:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.
112
A time to kill, and a time to heal;

a time to tear down, and a time to build.
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them;
a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away.
A time to rend, and a time to sew;
a time to be silent, and a time to speak.
A time to love, and a time to hate;
a time of war, and a time of peace. (Ecclesiastes 3)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord we have no control over time- our times are in Your Hands! We are but a
breath and the time You give us in this exile never returns. Let us us know what time it is and serve You
while it is still today- let us not waste ever Your Grace given to us in the present moment! Let us accept
with love what ever time we may find ourselves in come what may because You hold us in Your Hands!
9/24 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Afraid to Ask
Saturday of the Twenty Fifth Week of Ordinary Time
Oh, how sad I am to see the multitude of devout souls living a pious life without earning much merit
on behalf of their eternal salvation. So many of them do not attempt to come close to Me in any way
as though they are afraid. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 124)
Today's Readings:
But they did not understand this saying;
its meaning was hidden from them
so that they should not understand it,
and they were afraid to ask him about this saying. (Luke 9)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord like the Apostles we can be afraid to ask about the things we don't
understand in our lives and in our faith walk. We can bury under the rug that which is uncomfortable or
a hard truth rather than take the issue to You! Oh what peace we often forfeit! Lord let us not just keep
going through the motions in our spiritual life - let us never be afraid to ask the hard questions and to
draw close to You- let us take everything to You in prayer and to the Sacraments!
9/25 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Shake Us Out of Our Complacency!
Twenty Sixth Sunday of Ordinary Time
The current of My graces, powerful like an overflowing river, would act in all of your souls in an
uninterrupted way and with a constant intensity, if your repentance, like a powerful river, was rushing
toward Me and surrendering to Me! (Jesus) (Compendium Page 63)
Today's Readings:
He said, Oh no, father Abraham,
but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.
Then Abraham said, If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead. (Luke 16)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, You HAVE risen from the dead and we have Your Church, and Your Word,
The Holy Spirit and Your Sacraments- Your very Presence in our midst! And yet our hearts are hard and
we are stuck in the complacency of selfish pursuits, not seeing You even in the distressing disguise of the
poor among us, even those who suffer in our own families and communities! O Lord may we repent of
our selfishness and surrender all to You that Your Grace would fall like rain on our parched souls!
113
9/26 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- The God Who Gives and Takes Away
Monday of the Twenty Sixth Week of Ordinary Time
Maternal dignity is at the
same time a vocation saturated with sufferings, and that is what I share with you. I thank you,
my little one, for your participation that is continual and filled with sacrifices. I, as a loving
Mother, can assure you of your heavenly reward. (Mary) (Compendium Page 10)
Today's Readings:
Naked I came forth from my mothers womb,
and naked shall I go back again.
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
blessed be the name of the LORD! (Job 1)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord You are the God who gives and takes away! In our respective vocations Lord
we will have sufferings and crosses. At all times, Lord, help us to praise You in whatever storm we are
in- knowing that You are with us and You will never let us go! Let us ask for the intercession always of
Our Blessed Mother who has shared our sufferings and who prays for us without ceasing!
9/27 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Journeying to Jerusalem
Memorial of Saint Vincent de Paul
Remember what I told you. You must set out on the dark, muddy, noisy and distressing road to
Bethlehem to seek a refuge for my Flame of Love. (Mary) (Compendium Page 85)
Today's Readings:
When the days for Jesus to be taken up were fulfilled,
he resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem. (Luke 9)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, the road ahead in our lives can seem dark, noisy, distressing- a big muddy
mess! We know we are journeying to You but we have no idea half the time how we are getting there
and even if we will get there at the end of the day. Like Frodo in Lord of the Rings- we do not know the
way! But like Mary and Joseph we hold on to our trust in You because that is the only way to walk this
broken road- Our Blessed Mother knows what it is to walk by faith and not by sight! And so we take Her
Hand with our eyes firmly fixed on You Lord because You are the only Way to the wedding feast in the
Heavenly Jerusalem!
9/28 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- All That We Can't Leave Behind
Wednesday of the Twenty Sixth Week of Ordinary Time
Ever since
then, I heard Jesus demand many times in my soul. However, I did not write it down. But
rather, I tried to remove from my mind the idea to leave all behind. (Elizabeth) (Diary Page 13)
Today's Readings:
And another said, I will follow you, Lord,
but first let me say farewell to my family at home.
Jesus answered him, No one who sets a hand to the plow
and looks to what was left behind is fit for the Kingdom of God. (Luke 9)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, how many times do we try to remove from our minds what it is You are
asking of us. The enemy of our souls whispers to us so many excuses- so many thorns choking His Grace
in our souls! Worries, fears, anxieties, demands of our state in life- Yes Lord but not yet we say! Lord
help us to truly discern Your call in our lives- when to stay and when to go because we do not want to
114
miss the time of our visitation! Let us plow forward for the Kingdom without looking back because our
eyes are fixed on You!
9/29 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Angels Among Us
Feast of St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael, Archangels
After returning from Holy Mass, I began to do my housework. My holy guardian angel asked me to
go and adore the Most Holy Trinity. At his request, I went into my little house at the foot of the
garden. (Elizabeth) (Compendium Page 68)
Today's Readings:
Do you believe
because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree?
You will see greater things than this.
And he said to him, Amen, amen, I say to you,
you will see heaven opened
and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man. (John 1)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, we cannot see Your Glory on this Earth- we see as through a glass darkly! We
have faith in what is unseen! Yet Your Holy Angels inspire us and guard us each day- they want to bring
us to Heaven! O Lord thank You for Your Holy Angels- let us look forward to that happy day when we
will be singing with the angels around Your Throne of Grace!
9/30 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
Memorial of Saint Jerome
I know your qualities and thats why My Divine Providence ordered everything to make you ready to
communicate My message to the world. It is from the family sanctuary that all of you set out for the
difficult struggles of life. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 10)
Today's Readings:
Truly you have formed my inmost being;
you knit me in my mothers womb.
I give you thanks that I am fearfully, wonderfully made;
wonderful are your works.(Psalm 139)
Prayer Meditation: Lord You made us for Yourself and You know everything about us- nothing is hidden
from Your sight! You have a plan for all of us and You have placed us exactly where You want us to be! In
the stress and uncertainty of life, in the seeming failures and disappointments and sad times we can
know with certainty that You are wonderful in all of Your Works! Thank You Lord for Your Plan for my
life and Your care for me!
10/1 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Revealed to the Little Ones
Memorial of St. Therese of the Child Jesus
You know, My little one, even here on earth you receive a foretaste of Heavens delights. As I
already said, this is your reward for the suffering which have eternal value. (Jesus) (Compendium
Page 54)
Today's Readings:
At that very moment he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said,
I give you praise, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
for although you have hidden these things
from the wise and the learned
115
you have revealed them to the childlike.

Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. (Luke 10)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, You reveal Your Kingdom to the childlike- the little ones who walk by Your
side in faith and trust and rely not on their own understanding. It is not about just knowing about You
and Your Church Lord but really knowing You as Abba Father! Lord let us walk in dependence on Your
Goodness and Your Never Failing Love- little children loved by You! That is who we are!
10/2 Today's Consuming Fire Meditations- Can't Start a Fire Without a Spark
Twenty Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
You should
accept this miraculous power of the Flame of Love of My Mother not just with your lips but
with your mind as well. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 26)
Today's Readings:
Beloved:
I remind you, to stir into flame
the gift of God that you have through the imposition of my hands.
For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice
but rather of power and love and self-control. (2 Timothy 1)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord You have not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and self control! Lord
stir into Flame what we have received- the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary which is Jesus
Christ Himself! Consume us Lord with Your Fire- light the little sparks in Our Hearts so that we would
truly walk in unity with You and gather together the lost!
10/3 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- A Different Gospel?
Monday of the Twenty Seventh Week of Ordinary Time
Write down My words, or better, My request to those who are indifferent; there is no progress
without sacrifice. I am not happy with a sterile piety. It is like a tree that produces no fruit. Oh, you
fools! If you could only feel the immense pain your pious indifference causes My Divine Heart. I am
the Victim, and it was not by pious attitudes but only by a continual acceptance of sacrifices that I
brought about My redemptive work. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 124)
Today's Readings:
I am amazed that you are so quickly forsaking
the one who called you by the grace of Christ
for a different gospel (not that there is another).
But there are some who are disturbing you
and wish to pervert the Gospel of Christ.
But even if we or an angel from heaven
should preach to you a gospel
other than the one that we preached to you,
let that one be accursed! (Galatians 1)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord how many today are forsaking the Gospel, the true Gospel for all kinds of
ideologies and even for watered down and indifferent piety in the Church! We want to please people and
not You! But there is only one Gospel and it is this- to love the Lord Our God with all our heart, soul,
mind and strength and to love our neighbors as ourselves performing works of mercy for You in Your
distressing disguise of the poor both materially and in spirit! It is all about You Jesus and returning love
for love- let us build Your Kingdom here and not ours no matter how pious we may seem!
116
10/4 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- The Better Part

Memorial of Saint Francis of Assisi
I, your Master, will care for you. I will free you from every worry. I only want to be everything to you
so that nothing ties you to the earth. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 73)
Today's Readings:
The Lord said to her in reply,
Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things.
There is need of only one thing.
Mary has chosen the better part
and it will not be taken from her. (Luke 10)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord we are anxious and worried indeed about many things! We run around and
spin our wheels and we don't know how to stop and just breathe in Your Presence. Yet you want to free
us from all of our worries! O Lord be everything to us! Let us choose the better part of time with You
each morning and night fix our gaze on You even in the busyness of life!
10/5 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Thy Will Be Done
Wednesday of the Twenty Seventh Week of Ordinary Time- St. Faustina
After a period of serious doubts and torments for my soul, I accepted that the will of God be
done. My soul was so overwhelmed with grace that I was unable to utter a single word. (Elizabeth)
(Compendium Page 6)
Today's Readings:
Father, hallowed be your name,
your Kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread
and forgive us our sins
for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us,
and do not subject us to the final test. (Luke 11)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, we pray each day that Thy Will be done but how hard it is to surrender to it!
We keep trying to build our kingdom and not Yours! We become so overwhelmed by doubts and fears
that it can be hard to hear Your voice in the noise! O Lord let us open our hearts to You with the simple
prayer You have taught us meditating on every word- You are our Abba Father who so wants to flood
our souls with the grace to do Your Will and there is nothing to fear! Jesus we trust in You!
10/6 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Asking for the Holy Spirit
Thursday of the Twenty Seventh Week in Ordinary Time
While the Lord poured out His Spirit in my soul, I felt the Holy Spirit breathe upon me a different level of
grace, so I could overcome temptations. I had been crying because the Lord had left me. Now, peace
filled me so much that the tears falling from my eyes gave way to a silent recollection. (Elizabeth)
Today's Readings:
If you then, who are wicked,
know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit
to those who ask him? (Luke 11)
Prayer Meditation: O Holy Spirit You are welcome here! Lord God send forth Your Spirit and we shall be
created- so that You can renew the face of the Earth! Lord so often we feel dragged down by the
117
temptations of this world- like we will never progress in the spiritual life, round and round the same
mountains over and over again like the Israelites in the desert! And yet You only want to fill us with
good things if we come to You as Your little children clamoring for Your Grace! Lord cast away any spirit
of fear and doubt and fill us with the gifts of the Holy Spirit- power, love, and self control! Only You can
lead us to all Truth!
10/7 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- I'm with Jesus!
Memorial of Our Lady of The Rosary
Let Me give you abundant graces which are stored up in the immeasurable love of My Heart. May
our souls be in harmony. May our hearts beat to the same rhythm. Draw many souls to Me. May our
hands gather in unity. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 40)
Today's Readings: Whoever is not with me is against me,
and whoever does not gather with me scatters. (Luke 11)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord- we see Your works all around us- the beauty of nature, the miracle of life,
Your Goodness and Your never failing Love! And yet like the crowd we murmur and complain and
question Your authority!. Yet the Kingdom of God is indeed upon us- You are the Strong Man, the only
One who can set us free- Lord let us be with You! Let us receive the Abundant Graces that flow from
Your pierced side and let us gather with You in faith and trust in Your Mercy! Let us say today and
everyday I'm with Jesus!
10/8 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Hearing and Pondering the Word
Saturday of the Twenty Seventh Week of Ordinary Time
I sought only silence so I could continually hear the Lords voice, because from that day on, He was
the One speaking to me. (Elizabeth) (Compendium Page 54)
Today's Readings:
While Jesus was speaking,
a woman from the crowd called out and said to him,
Blessed is the womb that carried you
and the breasts at which you nursed.
He replied, Rather, blessed are those
who hear the word of God and observe it. (Luke 11)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord it can be so hard to hear Your Word in all the noise. To do so we must take
time to read Your Word and study it and also to spend time with You at Mass and in front of the Blessed
Sacrament. Lord for us to observe Your Word we have to know it and know You deep down in our
hearts! We need to ponder like Our Blessed Mother the Word spoken to us and like Her believe it with
all our hearts! Only when we put on the mind of Christ through prayer and meditation on Your saving
Word and through the Sacraments can we be doers of the Word as well as hearers of the Word. Blessed
Mother pray with us as we seek His Word!
10/9 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Eucharist Means Thanksgiving!
Twenty Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
How great is that miracle that is repeated every day and washes again my soul with His Precious
Blood and nourishes it by the power of His Sacred Body. Thanks to Him, I can keep the ruses of the
Evil One far from my soul. (Elizabeth) (Compendium Page 103)
Today's Readings:
Jesus said in reply,
Ten were cleansed, were they not?
Where are the other nine?
118
Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?

Then he said to him, Stand up and go;
your faith has saved you. (Luke 17)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord Jesus every day You come to us in the Sacrament of Love- The Holy Eucharist!
Every Mass people walk away healed if only they would thank You and acknowledge this great gift- The
Gift of Your Very Self!!!! We are washed by Your Blood and nourished by the Bread of Life! Lord God help
us never to be insensitive to Your work in our souls- Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the worldhave mercy on us!
10/10 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Set Me Free
Monday of The Twenty Eighth Week of Ordinary Time
How many times, while kneeling at the Lords sacred Feet, He freed me from terrible worries.
(Elizabeth) (Compendium Page 53)
Today's Readings:
For freedom Christ set us free; so stand firm
and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery. (Galatians 4)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, You have indeed set us free from sin and all of our chains. You have set us
free! So why do we still so often act and think like prisoners- prisoners of our past sins, failures,
weaknesses, anxieties and human frailty. The prison door is wide open but we stay in the darkness
afraid to walk into Your Marvelous Light! Lord Jesus let us go with confidence to Your Throne and kneel
at Your Sacred Feet and help us let it all go! You wait patiently in the Tabernacle and in the Sacraments!
Let us use frequently the Sacrament of Reconciliation when we fall and let us never let You go! You call
us through Your Word and You heal us with each Eucharist received worthily and with thanksgiving! So
let us run with confidence into the light of Your Freedom! May Our Mother Mary hold our hands with
each Rosary as she accompanies us on the way to Her Son!
10/11 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- From the Inside Out
Tuesday of the Twenty Eighth Week of Ordinary Time
My hair is soaked in blood. My feet are chapped from having followed you. 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) (Compendium
Page 125)
Today's Readings:
Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside?
But as to what is within, give alms,
and behold, everything will be clean for you. (Luke 11)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord we do so much to make the outside of our lives pretty and neat! Even the
faithful can be just putting on a show if we don't address what we are inside- full of judgment and selfabsorption, jealousy and indifference and sometimes even hate. You relentlessly pursue our hearts
longing to come inside and cleanse us of our infirmities yet we shut You out! We place You in whatever
neat little compartment we have for "religion" rather than opening wide our hearts. O Lord let us give
You our everything- alms not only of treasure but of our time and talents used for You and with You in
service to You each day in the distressing disguise of our neighbors! Such acts of charity come only from
a heart that burns with Your Flame of Love- Lord purify us from the inside out!
10/12 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Tree of Life
Wednesday of the Twenty Eighth Week of Ordinary Time
119
Write down My words, or better, My request to those who are indifferent; there is no progress
without sacrifice. I am not happy with a sterile piety. It is like a tree that produces no fruit. (Jesus)
Today's Readings:
He is like a tree
planted near running water,
That yields its fruit in due season,
and whose leaves never fade.
Whatever he does, prospers. (Psalm 1)
Prayer Meditation: Lord God, it is hard to face sometimes what kind of tree we have become. Are we
producing fruit- that Galatians 5 fruit of love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, generosity,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control? Or like the Pharisees in today's Gospel has our piety become sterile
and indifferent- going through the motions? O Lord, let us plant ourselves in Your Living Water- the
water of Your Word and Your Sacraments and follow Your Commands so that we can truly live in the
Spirit and produce good fruit no matter what season we may be in.
10/13 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Every Spiritual Blessing
Thursday of the Twenty Eighth Week of Ordinary Time
All who feel with Me and whose thoughts are My thoughts will receive this participation. Whoever lives
this way can only bless. This blessing increases the effect of My work of Redemption. This effect makes
you saints. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 71)
Today's Readings:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us in Christ
with every spiritual blessing in the heavens,
as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world,
to be holy and without blemish before him. (Ephesians 1)
Prayer Meditation: Lord God You have given us every spiritual blessing in Our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ and in Your One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church! We have The Word, The Sacraments, The
Rock of Your Authority, Our Blessed Mother, and all the Angels and Saints! The most incredible blessing
of all is The Holy Eucharist! Lord through the Eucharist worthily received we receive Your Very Self!
Today Lord let us put on the mind of Christ and work in union with the Blessed Trinity- let us participate
fully in the work of Redemption because You have chosen us to be holy and without blemish. We can
only do this in union with Christ who takes the drops of our poor offerings and consumes them in the
ocean of His Graces poured out for all mankind!
10/14 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Worth More Than the Sparrows
Friday of the Twenty Eighth Week of Ordinary Time
My adorable Jesus, what are You doing with such an unworthy person? (Elizabeth) (Compendium
Page 33)
Today's Readings:
Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins?
Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God.
Even the hairs of your head have all been counted.
Do not be afraid.
You are worth more than many sparrows. (Luke 12)
120
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, You know the number of every hair on our heads- not one of us has escaped
Your Notice. You created us to love and serve You in this life and be with You forever in the next. We are
worth far more than the sparrows! Lord so many times we are anxious and afraid and feel so alone- we
have not because we ask not. We wonder what would the Lord of the Universe want to do with us? Yet
You fly to our littleness and brokenness and You hold us all in the shadow of Your Wings if only we
would put our trust in You! Jesus we trust in You and we are never out of reach of Your Love and Mercy!
10/15 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Open the Eyes of My Heart Lord
Memorial of St. Teresa of Jesus
All this gave rise to new struggles, but the Lord enlightened my mind and
guided me step by step. I had to make these sacrifices within my family responsibilities. (Elizabeth)
Today's Readings:
May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened,
that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call,
what are the riches of glory
in his inheritance among the holy ones,
and what is the surpassing greatness of his power
for us who believe. (Ephesians 1)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, life can be such a struggle and it can be so hard to know where our hope lies
in the day to day. We can feel so lost- O Lord enlighten our minds and our hearts and guide us to the
hope of Your call on our lives- to our inheritance as believers in Christ Jesus for it is Your surpassing
greatness in the Holy Spirit who lives in us! The same power that rose Jesus from the grave lives in us!
Lord guide step by step according to our state in life!
10/16 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- An Inconvenient Truth
Twenty Ninth Sunday of Ordinary Time
Speech is a gift of God, and one day, we must give an account of our words. Through words, souls
communicate with one another. Also through words, people get to know us.
each word that we say. Our Father gave the gift of speech and you must make use of your gift. Do not
be afraid to speak! (Jesus) (Compendium Page 72)
Today's Readings:
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus,
who will judge the living and the dead,
and by his appearing and his kingly power:
proclaim the word;
be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient;
convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching. (2 Timothy 3)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord we will give an account of our words- how have we used our gift of speech?
Do we proclaim Your Word whether it is convenient or inconvenient? Are we afraid it may cost to speak
about our faith? Lord we can only discern when it is right to speak by walking and living in Your
presence and pondering what we say. Then in union with You we can trust that You will be with us when
we speak Your Word of encouragement or even reprimand so let us not be afraid to speak the Truth in
love!
121
10/17 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Saved by Grace For Such a Time As This
Memorial of St. Ignatius of Antioch
Encountering no resistance, the Flame will illumine souls with a gentle light. Those accepting the Flame
of Love will be intoxicated by the abundance of graces and they will proclaim everywhere, as I said
before, that such a torrent of grace has never been granted since the Word became Flesh. (Mary)
Today's Readings:
But God, who is rich in mercy,
because of the great love he had for us,
even when we were dead in our transgressions,
brought us to life with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
raised us up with him,
and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus,
that in the ages to come
he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace
in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 2)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord we are saved not by ourselves but by Your Amazing Grace. For we were dead
in our transgressions and You brought us to life! Lord Your Holy Spirit though St. Paul promised that in
the ages to come You would show the immeasurable riches of Your Grace. Your Grace remains from age
to age and thank You Lord that in this time of particular darkness You are pouring out a torrent of Grace
to those who would cooperate through the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary! Spread the
effect of Grace of Thy Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary over all humanity! Lord You are
rich in Mercy and You desire all to be raised with You in the Heavens!
10/18 Todays Consuming Fire Meditation- Living in Truth
Feast of St. Luke, Evangelist
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) (Compendium Page 115)
Todays Readings:
The LORD is just in all his ways
and holy in all his works.
The LORD is near to all who call upon him,
to all who call upon him in truth. (Psalm 145)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, we want to live in the Truth- Your Truth because You are Truth itself. We call
upon You and we know You are near to us always! Lord so many of us stay away from the very means
that make us well and give us life in You! Lord teach us to pray always and to sacrifice all of our

will award to me on that day, and not only to me,
but to all who have longed for his appearance. (2 Timothy 4)

accomplish. Some of us will do this primarily in our families and our workplaces- some of us will be
called into our parishes and other ministries., Some of us have been called to the priesthood or religious

10)
Today's Readings:
Jesus said, What is the Kingdom of God like?
To what can I compare it?

When it was fully grown, it became a large bush
and the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches. (Luke 13)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, You have given all of us in our vocations the responsibility to grow the
Kingdom of God right here and right now! No one is exempt from working in Your vineyard! You have
planted the seeds in each one of us at baptism- Lord help us to continue to water the seed in good soil by

Kingdom in our homes and families!
10/26 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- He Lifts Me Up

with the world rulers of this present darkness,
with the evil spirits in the heavens.
Therefore, put on the armor of God,
that you may be able to resist on the evil day (Ephesians 6)
Prayer Meditation: Lord, every day is a battle! We fight not flesh and blood but the enemy of our souls!
Lord may we do a daily wardrobe check- helmet of salvation, breastplate of righteousness, belt of truth,
shoes of peace, shield of faith to fight off the darts of the enemy, and the sword of the Spirit which is
Your Word spoken out loud! Train our hands for battle Lord- and may our hands hold firmly to the Holy
Rosary, the weapon for our times!
10/28 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- The Dwelling Place of God
Feast of Saints Simon and Jude
I accept and I give My unending blessing to your great will to love. Even more, I will take one more
step. Beginning today, your little dwelling will be My continual sanctuary. I will honor this little
dwelling that is so dear to you with My continual presence. I have rented your small house. Adore
Me and make reparation here. I will remain next to you while you live here on earth. (Jesus)
Today's Readings:
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,
with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone.
Through him the whole structure is held together
and grows into a temple sacred in the Lord;
in him you also are being built together
into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. (Ephesians 2)

darkness will alternate in your soul.(Jesus) (Compendium Page 21)
Today's Readings:
For to me life is Christ, and death is gain.
If I go on living in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me.
And I do not know which I shall choose.
I am caught between the two .(Philippians 1)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, our lives can be a roller coaster- up and down, light and dark. Nothing comes to
us that does not come from Your Hand. Lord we only have this life to let You live through us- to labor in
Your vineyard- yet we know that when our lives are over we gain Heaven where we will behold You for
126
all Eternity if we are but faithful! Lord God please help us whether we are struggling in darkness or
walking in Your Marvelous Light to live for You in each moment! All of our moments belong to You!

10/31 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- He Must Increase
Monday of the Thirty First Week of Ordinary Time
Through your smallness and ignorance, and above all through your humility, we want to put our Holy
Cause into action through you. Be careful, do not let vainglory come near. That is why I am bringing it to
your attention: be very humble, work hard at it. In this way, your efforts will come together. (Mary)
Today's Readings:
Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory;
rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves,
each looking out not for his own interests,
but also everyone for those of others. (Philippians 2)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, it is so easy to get carried away when we try to do big things for You! Let us
be careful of not falling into vanity and self absorption in the things we do but help us to serve You in
others! Let them see You and not us today- help us to stay little children stilled and quieted and secure
in the Immaculate Heart of our Blessed Mother! Purify our intentions Lord- increase in us this day!
11/1 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Be a Saint- What Else is There?
All Saint's Day

them constantly and by confronting them that you will remain in possession of the Spirit of Love.

Who can ascend the mountain of the LORD?
or who may stand in his holy place?

One whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean,

who desires not what is vain. (Psalm 24)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord- we are called to holiness- we only get there through perseverance and
desire- Holy desire to allow Your All Consuming Fire to burn through us leaving only perfect love in our
souls! Because we can work all we want but we are spinning our wheels if we are not consumed with
desire for union with You! Love purifies our actions and our desires so that we are hungering and
thirsting for You and for what You want! Lord break our hearts for what breaks Yours- shatter what is
not of You so that our clean hearts will ascend to You in a movement of total trust and surrender! May
Our Blessed Mother and the Church Triumphant pray for our journeys here on Earth!
11/2 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Grace and Mercy are with His Holy Ones
The Commemoration of All of the Faithful Departed
If at any moment, while invoking my Flame of Love, any of you pray in my honor three Hail Marys, a
soul is released from Purgatory. During November, the month of the deceased, ten souls will be
released from Purgatory for each Hail Mary recited. The suffering souls must also feel the effect of
grace of the Flame of Love of my maternal heart. (Mary) (Compendium Page 133)
Today's Readings: Those who trust in him shall understand truth,
and the faithful shall abide with him in love:

deeply! Your tender care is with the Church Suffering who are saved and on their way to beholding Your

Heart of Mary- Queen and Mother of the entire Church including the Church Suffering.

Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.
I tell you, in just the same way
there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents
than over ninety-nine righteous people
who have no need of repentance. (Luke 15)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord we can never know in this life the value of just one soul- how precious a soul
is to You! There is such joy in Heaven when a sinner repents, when the lost are found! Lord Jesus thank
You for seeking me out- not letting me go when I was wandering! I know that Heaven is singing over us
right now- let us never give up on our loved ones! Each one is precious beyond words!
11/4 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Citizens of Heaven
Memorial of Saint Charles Borromeo
You are too immersed in earthly things, My little one. I did not say that to discourage you. I want to
encourage you so that you do not seek relief by looking to the earth in your battles. (Jesus)
Today's Readings:
128
Their end is destruction.

Their God is their stomach;
their glory is in their shame.
Their minds are occupied with earthly things.
But our citizenship is in heaven,
and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. (Philippians 3)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord You know how we are drawn to the Earth! Our little gods and appetites rule
and occupy us even as we strive to seek You in our everyday life. We immerse ourselves in so many
things and seek relief in so many outlets! Life on Earth is a battle
but we can only be victorious if we await You, Our Savior- the only one who can break the chains that
weigh us down and keep us from claiming our rights as sons and daughters of Heaven! Lord break every
chain today by the power of Your Precious Blood!
11/5 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- In All Circumstances
Saturday of the Thirty-first Week in Ordinary Time
May our thoughts be in unison! Love this prayer I taught you, so that having recourse to its words,
you can find the necessary strength in all circumstances. Jesus also said May our thoughts be in
unison, our hands gather in unity, and our hearts beat to the same rhythm. In this way, we will rest.
Today's Readings:
I know indeed how to live in humble circumstances;
I know also how to live with abundance.
In every circumstance and in all things
I have learned the secret of being well fed and of going hungry,
of living in abundance and of being in need.
I have the strength for everything through him who empowers me. (Philippians 4)
Prayer Meditation- Lord life is full of all kinds of circumstances good, bad, and in between. We are up
and then we are down like a roller coaster sometimes even in the same day or the same hour! We have
no peace because we allow ourselves to be tossed about- we rely on ourselves and we fall again and
again and again growing discouraged and maybe even bitter- no contentment, no joy! We want life on
this Earth to be perfect and complain when it is not! Lord Jesus forgive us for not seeing that You have
given us the secret to contentment no matter what life may throw at us- Your very Self poured out in
Your Word and Your Sacraments- Your Holy Spirit to guide us! So Lord help us to pray as we oughtseeking unity with You in all things rather than relying on ourselves! We can do all things through Christ
who strengthens us! Jesus strength for today and hope for tomorrow!
11/6 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- God of the Living
Thirty Second Sunday of Ordinary Time
Your living faith in Me keeps your soul in a continual freshness and makes you ready to receive
abundant graces. Hence, My little one, do not serve anyone but Me. (Jesus) (Compendium Page
50)
Today's Readings:
That the dead will rise
even Moses made known in the passage about the bush,
when he called out Lord,
the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
and he is not God of the dead, but of the living,
for to him all are alive. (Luke 20)
129
Prayer Meditation: Lord all are alive to You- life is not ended but changed! Our life here is but a journey
to life eternal with You! Lord may we stay in faith- the living faith without which we cannot please You!
Lord may we serve no one but You as You pour out Your abundant graces on those who love You both
now and for all eternity!
11/7 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Mustard Seed Faith
Monday of the Thirty Second Week of Ordinary Time
Little by little, I distanced myself from God. The continuous task to survive consumed my soul. After
a long battle, my spiritual life faded. Even my faith itself was endangered. (Elizabeth) (Compendium
Page 14)
Today's Readings:
And the Apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.
The Lord replied, If you have faith the size of a mustard seed,
you would say to this mulberry tree,
Be uprooted and planted in the sea, and it would obey you. (Luke 17)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, we can so easily fall away from faith. Life distracts us constantly and life is a
battle that wears us down. Little by little we stop praying on a day to day basis. We are tossed about on
the seas of life and we stop seeking Your Face in our everyday lives. And yet You have promised us that
if we have even the smallest amount of faith we can indeed uproot the sin in our lives! The key is
allowing this tiny faith to lead us to repentance and forgiveness- we are not alone but You are with us
every moment of our lives! It is by faith and trust that we place all in Your Hands and hear Your Voice in
Your Word and in Your Sacraments- let us run to the Throne of Mercy and tell Jesus about anything that
is holding us back from Him!
11/8 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Women of Courage
Saint Elizabeth of The Trinity
Tuesday of the Thirty Second Week of Ordinary Time
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) (Compendium Page 99)
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,
130
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!
11/9 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- An Ever- Present Help
Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome

Memorial of St. Leo the Great
Each night, My little one, ask yourself what you have done for the coming of My Kingdom. Never be
content with yourself. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 38)
Today's Readings:
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: O Lord we are all looking for signs and wonders but the reality is that The Kingdom
is supposed to be living in us! We are baptized sons and daughters of the King- confirmed into
knighthood at our confirmation with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We can feed on Your Word and Your
Sacraments daily! You have given us every spiritual blessing so that Thy Will will be done here on Earth
by Your Body The Church. How do we know the Kingdom is bearing fruit? By our lives- is there peace,
joy, love, kindness, self control? Is there lack of worry, anxiety, pride, vainglory, judgment of others?
How are we doing out there?
11/11 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Walking in Truth

rejoice to find Her Children walking in truth! We Her Children are to place total confidence in Her as She
shows us the way and leads all of our steps. May we stand with Our Mother today at the foot of the Cross
and hold Her Hand as we pray our beads knowing that she will always lead us to You Lord!
131
11/12 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Will He Find Faith in Us?

Memorial of Saint Josaphat
I see that you have little faith. Why are you impatient? (Jesus) (Compendium Page 36)
Today's Readings:
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: O Lord, we have so little faith! When it comes down to it we talk about trust but are
we really doing it? Are we persistent in our prayers or just giving up too soon, discouraged by our own
doubts and fears? Lord Jesus increase our faith that we will keep praying without growing tired or
weary! Lord rid us of the impatience and anxiety that rule our lives- making us run and spin in little
circles of our own impulsiveness instead of turning to You with humble childlike trust! Still our souls
that we can hear You above the din of our confusion!
11/13 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Testify!
Thirty Third Sunday of Ordinary Time
Speech is a gift of God, and one day, we must give an account of our words. Through words, souls
communicate with one another. Also through words, people get to know us.

be afraid to speak! (Jesus) (Compendium Page 72)
Today's Readings: It will lead to your giving testimony.
Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand,
for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking
that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute. (Luke 21)

Holy Spirit always guide us to what to say and to whom it should be said. Let us not be afraid to testifyto give our testimony concerning what the Lord has done for us! I was, Jesus did this in my life, I am now
free! Even better may others see it in our lives! We have no right to be silent- our testimony may well be
the spark that lights the Flame of Love in a soul!

What do you want me to do for you? (Luke 18)
132
Prayer Meditation: Lord You have told us, ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and
the door will be opened to you! We believe Your Promises are true! You are always passing by- You are
but a cry of the heart away- let us call Your name boldly and ask for our heart's desires in complete
trust!
11/15 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Jesus is Knocking at the Door of Your Heart

If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,
then I will enter his house and dine with him,

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!
11/16 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Faithful in Small Things
Wednesday of the Thirty Third Week of Ordinary Time
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) (Compendium Page 92)
Today's Readings: The first came forward and said,
Sir, your gold coin has earned ten additional ones.

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!
11/17 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Don't Miss the Time of Your Visitation
Memorial of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary
You can now recognize that I gave you peace not because the absolution was truly valid, but rather
through a command of your confessor. If you had not accepted this command, your soul would have
been shipwrecked once and for all. (Jesus) (Compendium Page 36)
Today's Readings:
For the days are coming upon you
when your enemies will raise a palisade against you;
they will encircle you and hem you in on all sides.
They will smash you to the ground and your children within you,
and they will not leave one stone upon another within you
because you did not recognize the time of your visitation. (Luke 19)
133
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, Your Love is here, Your Love is now! We have only today to love and worship
You! To trust and obey! To listen to Your Voice through Your Word and through Your Sacraments
including through our confessors. O Lord let us not miss the time of our visitation- protect us from all of
our enemies including our own selves that would hem us in and encircle us and would put a wall
between our souls and Your Grace!
11/18 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Don't Give Up Sweets!
Friday of the Thirty Third Week of Ordinary Time
After being there for a long time, I was getting cold. I wanted to go home. Then I heard His voice deep
within my soul. Do not go yet. I remained. A few minutes after, I heard a sweet voice in the silence of
my soul.(Elizabeth) (Compendium Page 48)
Today's Readings:
How sweet to my palate are your promises,
sweeter than honey to my mouth! (Psalm 119)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord Your Word and Your Promises are sweet to the taste! They refresh our souls!
It is in silence that we can hear Your sweet Word spoken over us! Let us hang on every Word that comes
from Your Mouth today- let us never give up the sweetness of Your Presence among us in Your Word,
The Holy Spirit, and in the Eucharist and Confessional! Taste and see that You are good!
11/19 Today's Consuming Fire Meditation- Let Us Not Become Weary
Saturday of the Thirty Third Week in Ordinary Time
The battle that I was undergoing greatly affected my bodily strength. Sometimes I collapsed
from tiredness. However, the great sufferings brought forth Jesus kindness. (Elizabeth)
Today's Readings:
Blessed be the LORD, my rock,
who trains my hands for battle, my fingers for war. (Psalm 144)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord You train us for battle- life on Earth is a struggle and it makes us weary!
Sometimes we just want to collapse from the weight of all that can come against us! It is so easy to give
in to temptation and despair! But Lord, You never let us be tried beyond our endurance- let us not
become weary in well doing because in due season we will reap a harvest if we faint not! Souls are
depending on our perseverance!

About Elizabeth Kindleman (Flameoflove.us)

Elizabeth Sznt was born in Budapest, a city of about 1.6 million
people. Really, it is two cities, Buda and Pest, with the Danube River in
the middle. She was the thirteenth child (preceded by six pairs of twins).
She, alone, survived into adulthood.
Elizabeth was orphaned at a young age. Her father died when she was
about five. Because of her poor health, she lived for a time with her
grandparents in the countryside. From ages 6 to 10, she attended
elementary school. Then, she went to Switzerland, returned to Budapest,
and later was supposed to be adopted by a Swiss family. However, she
was late for the train and a young couple took her back to Budapest.
In Budapest began the struggle of a 13-year-old orphan who needed to
find work so she did not starve. As a lonely orphan who was often taken
advantage of, she had many different jobs. Twice she tried to enter
religious congregations, but was rejected. Fortunately, she discovered a
Father Motray who became her confessor for many years.
The turning point came in August 1929 when she was accepted for the
parish choir. There she met Karoly Kindlemann, a chimneysweeper
instructor (a good paying position). She was married at 16 (May 25,
1930). They had six children (1931 1942). In 1946, her husband died.
In 1948, the Communist Nationalization of Hungary was harsh. She was
fired for political reasons (having a statue of the Blessed Mother in her
home). By May 1951, she was in a humanly hopeless situation.
Fortunately, she became a technical supervisor at a foundry (alluded to
in the diary). This saved her family from starvation. She worked at a
number of factories. Her children married and, with their grandchildren,
moved back in with Elizabeth.
Her diary begins on July 13, 1960, when she wrote about the beginning
religious experience that introduced her to Gods presence. It speaks of
three years of spiritual darkness (1958 1961) that prepared her for the
locutions. The decisive moment came on July 16, 1961, the feast of Our
135
Lady of Mount Carmel (Elizabeth was a lay Carmelite). This leads us into
her diary, where she herself tells the story.

Flame of Love Prayers (Flameoflove.us)
Flame of Love Prayers

There are four prayers that are essential to the
Flame of Love Movement:
Prayer #1: Make the Sign of the Cross Five Times
Jesus told Elizabeth, A great battle awaits you, but you will conquer in
the sign of the cross. When you make the cross, think of the three Divine
Persons. Make the sign of the cross five times, while thinking of my Five
Wounds. Always look at my eyes bathed in blood. Tell everyone all that I
tell you. (P.17)
Our Prayer Cenacles of Reparation begin and end by making the sign of
the Cross 5 times with meditation on the 5 Wounds as Jesus requested.
Prayer #2: The Prayer of Jesus (The Unity Prayer)

May our feet journey together.
May our hands gather in unity.
May our hearts beat in unison.
May our souls be in harmony.
May our thoughts be as one.
May our ears listen to the silence together.
May our glances profoundly penetrate each other.
May our lips pray together to gain mercy from the Eternal Father.
Jesus said, Through this prayer, Satan will be blind and souls will not be led
into sin. ( p.25 ) The Lord explained, Satan being blind signifies a worldwide
triumph of my Sacred Heart, the freedom of souls and a full opening of the
road of salvation. (p. 87)
137
Prayer #3: Hail Mary: The Addition of the Important

Petition
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee,
blessed are Thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
spread the effect of grace of Thy Flame of Love over all of humanity,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
For a long time, I did not dare to record Our Ladys petition, When you pray
the Hail Mary, include the following petition, Spread the effect of grace of thy
Flame of Love over all of humanity. When the bishop asked why this should
be done, Jesus explained, Because of the Holy Virgins efficacious pleas, the
Most Blessed Trinity granted the outpouring of the Flame of Love. For her
sake, you must place this prayer in the Hail Mary (February 2, 1982). Mary
said, I want to awaken humanity by this petition. This is not a new formula
but a constant supplication.(p45-p.46.)
Prayer #4: Prayer for the Propagation of the Flame of

Love
With the personal approval of his Holiness Pope Paul VI
November 1973
Blessed Virgin Mary, our cherished heavenly Mother, you love so much
God and us, your children, that you offer us to your divine Son Jesus on
the Cross, to forgive us by our Heavenly Father and to obtain our
salvation, so that all those who believe in Him do not perish but obtain
the Eternal Life.
With a filial confidence, we pray to you, Virgin Mary, that with the Flame
of Love of your Immaculate Heart, kindled by the Holy Spirit, you ignite
in our languid hearts the fire of a perfect love for God and all the
humans, so that together with you, with one heart, we love God and our
neighbour.
Help us to transmit this holy Flame to all the people of goodwill, so that
the Flame of Love extinguishes the fire of hatred everywhere on earth
138
and that Jesus, the Prince of Peace, be the King and the centre of all
the hearts in the Sacrament of His Love on the Throne of our altars.
Amen.
