CHURCH APPROVAL

Thank you for Taking the Time to Discern Our Lady's Movement

There is currently a growing interest in Ireland regarding the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Movement. Yet people are curious as to what this movement is all about and how it is different or similar to other Marian devotions. Alongside seeking to understand The Flame of Love Movement, entirely proper questions emerge regarding its approval status in the Church.

We have created an introduction pack that you may request from us by simply emailing us. You may share this with your parish priests, bishops, or with anyone interesting in understanding Our Lady’s Movement in more depth. The Theological Examination of Elizabeth Kindelmann’s Spiritual Diary and its Guide are also found on this page for anyone wishing to study Jesus’ and Mary’s messages to Elizabeth Kindelmann in even greater detail. As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. “May our hands gather in unity”

IN IRELAND

The Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary was introduced to Ireland by a group of Lay faithful in 2020. In 2022, the International Coordinator, Gyozó Kindelmann, appointed the First National Coordinator and the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Movement was officially launched as a de facto Association of the Faithful in Ireland. Remaining in compliance with Church norms and being in obedience to and supportive of our local hierarchy is of great importance to us. It is in this spirit that we strive to spread the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary throughout all of Ireland and beyond.

Why has it taken so long for the MOVEMENT TO GAIN RECOGNITION?

It was impossible to properly investigate the Flame of Love in Hungary under Communism but, with its collapse in Eastern Europe, the investigation began. After a multi-year examination, His Eminence Péter Cardinal Erdő, Primate of Hungary and Archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest, approved both the text of Elizabeth’s Spiritual Diary and the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Movement and established it in Hungary as a Private Association of the Faithful with Juridic Personality on June 6, 2009. Since then, the Movement has exploded around the world bringing a powerful force of renewal.

The Theological Examination of the Spiritual Diary of the Flame of Love by Dr. Zoltán Kovács

This 38 page document is a thorough and somewhat technical examination of the foundational document for the Flame of Love devotion, viz., the Spiritual Diary of Elizabeth Kindelmann.

The examination was written by Dr. Zoltán Kovács, a Mariologist, the Rector of the Seminary of Esztergom, a teacher at the Pontifical Theological Faculty “Marianum” (Rome) and the Péter Pázmány Catholic University (Budapest), and the official censor of the Spiritual Diary of the Flame of Love.
