Have You Registered for the BUILDING ON SOLID ROCK FORMATION RETREAT SERIES?

by 2023 Conference Flame of Love Ireland

The 3rd Retreat HAS BEEN MOVED TO 28th JANUARY 2023 at 1:00 PM

The 3rd Retreat is on the 14th January 2023 – ALL ARE WELCOME

The Third Session of our Four-Part Retreat Series – BUILDING ON SOLID ROCK was postponed from the 14th to the 28th of JANUARY 2023 at 1:00 PM. The date was moved because of the illness of John Sullivan. He is now on the mend and we pray for his continued healing.

The presentation, led by John Sullivan, International Assistant Coordinator of the Flame of Love Movement, will run a little over two hours. Those who can stay are invited to then join us to pray the Flame of Love Rosary and the Chaplet of the Adored Jesus.

In the 3rd part of the Series, we will take a deep dive into the Unity Prayer as the “Why” of Salvation. One cannot overestimate the importance of the Unity Prayer. It is not just the heart of the Flame of Love Movement but it is the heart of all Christianity. Join us as we explore the binding love that is the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and how it fundamentally changes our relationship with God. We will examine from the scriptures many examples of distorted relationships with God – distortions which we may find painfully familiar. We will see how literally Jesus IS the way and how union with Him IS salvation.  It is only in this context that we can properly understand the practices of the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Flame of Love itself.

With the breath-taking pace at which our Blessed Mother is spreading the Flame of Love of her Immaculate Heart around the world, it is important that those doing the blessed work of spreading it understand it well so information is conveyed accurately. Frankly, it is not necessary to understand the Flame of Love in order to pass it heart to heart but it is helpful especially as we encounter more priests and bishops who are interested.

This series will provide a solid grounding for the Flame of Love at the heart of the Church. The Flame of Love is all about Grace – it is the greatest outpouring of graces since the Word was made flesh. If we do not understand Grace, we will not understand the Flame of Love. If we do not understand what Salvation is, we will not understand Grace. This series will give the overview of Salvation, the role of Grace and thus the critical importance of the Flame of Love to bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Divine Heart of Jesus as the effect of Grace.

If you registered for either of the previous sessions, you do not need to re-register. The link and Handouts will be sent by email the day before the event to anyone who has registered. We hope to see you all there. Also, please feel free to share this invitation to family and friends.

A Flame of Love PERSONAL TESTIMONY: By Marie Kelly

by 2023 Conference Flame of Love Ireland

The Holy Spirit Guides Us in Every Choice and Decision by Marie Kelly

I heard about the Flame of Love Movement through the 32 County Prayer Group during Covid (early 2021).  I prayed the Flame of Love rosary on my own initially and then joined a Flame of Love Virtual Cenacle. I felt a strong urge to bring the Flame of Love Devotion to my own parish – Roscrea, Co. Tipperary.  I think that this inspiration may have come from my consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  It was a ‘consecration pact’ – my part was to bring souls to Jesus and Jesus’s part was to look after my personal interests.  The more I would keep ‘my part’, the more Jesus would look after my interests.

A friend and I had already set up ‘Mothers Prayers’ in St. Cronan’s, Roscrea and we were holding our meetings in the Parish Centre there.  I was also a member of the Legion, and of Joan Buckley’s Monthly Prayer Group in Moneygall through which I had met others who had helped me along my spiritual path.

My desire to bring this devotion to my parish led me to join the virtual Flame of Love Leadership Meetings, and to get to know the leaders of this devotion which was in its early set-up phase in Ireland in 2022.  Initially one of our leaders, Frances Devaney, was going to give the Introduction to the Flame of Love in Roscrea.  Then John Sullivan, Assistant International Co-Ordinator of the Flame of Love Movement (who is based in the U.S.) announced that he would join us in the Dromantine Retreat Centre, Newry for our Formal Launch and First Day of Prayer, Formation and Fellowship on 7th May, 2022.  John said that he would stay in Ireland for six more days and give Introductory Presentations on the Flame of Love wherever we could organise to hold them.

About six weeks before the Introduction in Roscrea I was nominated to the Parish Council in my parish.  I believe that this was Our Lady putting me in touch with others to help plan and promote the event.

I had the privilege of having John stay at my house for two nights whilst giving the Introduction in St. Cronan’s Catholic Church, Roscrea on Sunday, 8th May.  John introduced the Flame of Love Devotion at the 11.30 mass to a full church.  Then we had a longer session at 4pm which was attended by 70 people who came from various surrounding towns as well as from Roscrea itself.  After the formal introduction was over a group formed around John and they had further discussions with John for an hour or so.

A Flame of Love cenacle commenced in my parish shortly after the Introduction.  We have had seven members from the commencement.  We meet at 7.30pm every Wednesday in the Parish Centre, St. Cronan’s Catholic Church, Roscrea.  One lady in our group had been praying the Flame of Love rosary with her family for 3-4 years having heard about the Devotion on EWTN.  She had not met anyone else in the Flame of Love Movement previous to the Introduction to the Devotion in Roscrea.

Anyone who would like to join us on a Wednesday evening is most welcome.

Our Lady and Jesus placed people around me to help prior to the Introduction, on the day of the Introduction and later to set up the cenacle in Roscrea.  It is amazing how God places the people we need around us when we do something to promote his interests.

After our Dromantine Retreat a volunteer was needed to distribute our Flame of Love Literature.  I felt urged again by the Holy Spirit to take on this role which would help to bring souls to Jesus.  Again this was accomplishing ‘my part of the Sacred Heart Consecration Pact’ which I had taken three years ago.  These are not coincidences, but God-Incidences and they happen every day!

Come Holy Spirit, come, come by means of the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
