Thank you to all who helped to make our 2nd year at the Dublin Divine Mercy Conference a blessed event!
2024 Divine Mercy Conference in the RDS Dublin from the 23rd to 25th February
It is wonderful to meet people who are new to the Flame of Love as well as those who are already familiar with it. It is so uplifting to meet members who we pray with throughout the year online, from all over Ireland, in our rosaries and Cenacles and meet them in person at the conference.
Thank you to the lady who told us her story, that she was sick last winter, and one night in a dream, the name Elizabeth Kindlemann came to her. This meant nothing to her and the next morning she googled the name and that was her first introduction to the Flame of love. She then came to the Divine Mercy Conference 2023 and heard Fr. Blount for the first time.
We thank, on behalf of the Blessed Virgin, the lady who saw our request for donations and came over with a cheque for the Flame of Love Movement.
It was wonderful to meet Peter who felt a voice telling him to get a stone slab of the Unity Prayer for his garden (see attached photo).
We keep in our prayers the lady who lost two of her sons to drug use. May the Lord give her strength and may they rest in peace.
Another lady who is growing in her faith, was handed The Unity Prayer card at a prayer group, along with her friend. Afterwards she was in spiritual darkness, in despair, late at night, she phoned her friend, and asked for help, her friend told her to pray the Unity prayer and straight away the darkness lifted. She described it as going from night to day.
May the seeds that were scattered in Dublin reach all four corners of Ireland igniting hearts for love of Jesus!
In Preparation for the FEAST DAY of the FLAME OF LOVE OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY, on 2nd February (which is shared with Candlemas), we will begin to pray our 9-Day Flame of Love Novena on Tuesday January 24th. The Novena will finish on Wednesday, 1st February which is the Vigil of the FEAST DAY and also St. Brigid’s Day.
The intention for this 2023 Novena is to promote the spread of the Flame of Love into more and more Irish Parishes with a special focus on men and youth.
We will pray each day of the Novena Prayers at our usual online Cenacles in the jit.si, folirlcar23 Room and at the 8pm Rosary in the jit.si, folirlrosaryea Room.
The NOVENA DAILY MEDITATIONS can also be found in Section Three of our IRISH FLAME OF LOVE REFERENCE BOOK OF PRAYERS and accessed on the HOMEPAGE of our website https://flameoflove.ie or simply by CLICKING HERE
MARY:“Put immediately into action the outpouring of graces of my Flame of Love. To your group, I give a wonderful strength to all and to each one in particular. Your responsibility is great but your work will not be in vain. There must not be a single soul missing in this common effort. The soft light of my Flame of Love will light up, spreading fire over the entire surface of the earth. Satan, humiliated and reduced to powerlessness, will not be able to exercise his power. However, do not seek to prolong these birth pangs.”
Spiritual Diary of Elizabeth Kindelmann, 27 November 1963
2022 was a significant year for Our Lady’s Flame of Love Movement in Ireland! The Movement ‘officially launched’ in Dromantine Retreat Centre in Newry, N. Ireland on the 7th of May during our first All-Ireland, in-person Conference. (See our Statues for more information on the organisation of the Movement). This was the first time that devotees who had been praying together during COVID lockdowns were finally able to meet face-to-face.
Since that time, the working group has continued to strive to respond to Our Lady’s call to spread her Flame far and wide. We are in the process of establishing the Flame of Love Movement as an Irish Charity (which is still pending) and coordinating more efficient communication with all who are interested in learning more about the Flame of Love (our Emails, Website, WhatsApp Groups, and Social Media Platforms – Facebook & Instagram).

In April 2022, Ireland’s Flame of love Movement was invited to participate in the International Cenacles which are hosted by the Flame of Love Philippines Movement. These cenacles take place every Friday night at 1am in the summertime, and 12am (Midnight) in winter. This is a beautiful way to participate with others while doing a night vigil. You will find the links (Facebook or YouTube options) to the Live Streams on theHomepage of Our Website under International Cenacles.
In May 2022, the international community led by the Philippines, introduced the 2000 Hail Marys’ in honour of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This event takes place on the 8th of every month. Ireland are very happy to be part of this special devotion. We are always looking for volunteers to pray 100 Flame of Love Hail Mary’s to represent our assigned Irish times. If you would like to lead or respond, please let us know. Alternatively, anyone may participate via the Facebook and YouTube Livestream every 8th of the Month. Follow us on our Facebook and Instagram for the links.
In October 2022, the International Flame of Love family introduced a Global Thursday Holy Hour of Reparation to Jesus. This takes place at 10pm on https://meet.jit.si/folthursday10 – EVERY THURSDAY. As the clock moves to 10PM in each time zone around the world, Flame of Love Members may join in this meet.jit.si room to honour Our Ladys’ request to “Offer a very special reparation to my Divine Son, Adore Him with great fervour, making reparation for the many offences inflicted upon Him.” (Diary pg. 25)
October 2022 also marked the First of our 4-PART FORMATION RETREAT SERIES of EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) online ‘Building on Solid Rock’. These formation retreats are led by John Sullivan and take place on the second Saturday of each month at 1pm Irish Time. The purpose of these live streamed, recorded talks is to grow in understanding and love of the Flame of Love so that we may more effectively spread the effect of grace to others.
In November 2022 we started praying 4 DAILY FLAME OF LOVE ROSARIES, 6 days a week. This is strengthening us in our daily prayer and growing our apostolate. This has proved to be very popular from the start. We took a break for the Christmas Octave and resumed on the 2nd January.MARY: “Whenever someone does adoration in a spirit of atonement or visits the Blessed Sacrament, as long as it lasts, Satan loses his dominion on the parish souls.”6-7 November 1962)
GOALS for 2023
As we enter this new year, we pray that Our Lady’s Flame of Love continues to spread into parishes throughout our country. Internationally there is a strong emphasis to reach out to MEN and YOUTH. We also pray that more and more devotees introduce Our Lady’s Flame into parishes and other ministries. We have prepared INFORMATION PACKETS that can be shared with priests and bishops and prayer group coordinators in order to help facilitate this. These can be found on our website on the CHURCH APPROVAL page. We are always happy to help in any way that we can.
We also encourage anyone who has not yet registered to receive email updates to either do so on our contact form on the www.flameoflove.ie website.
MARY: “My little Carmelite, I ask you to continually increase your desire for my Flame of Love…With my Flame of Love, I want to make the home come alive again with love. I want to unite families that are scattered.” (8 August 1962)
