The mission of the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is to save souls (especially family members), to blind Satan so souls will not be led into sin, to free souls from Purgatory, and to pray for the conversion of sinners. This movement revives tepid souls, enabling them to embrace: daily Mass and Rosary, Eucharistic Adoration, Holy Hours and Fasting, forming Prayer Cenacles of Reparation, and becoming part of a community devoted to Spreading the Flame of Love.
Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Movement
A Brief History of the Flame of Love Movement of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
The Movement began with the heart of the poor and humble Hungarian mystic and Third-Order Carmelite, Elizabeth Kindelmann (1913-1985), when she heard the voices of Jesus and Mary through interior locutions between the years 1961 and 1963. The result is her Spiritual Diary, written at the request of Our Lord Jesus, which has received the Imprimatur of the Church and gifted the world untold blessings for our critical times.
The Movement is an official Church association of the faithful, the approval of His Eminence Cardinal Peter Erdo, Primate of Hungary, Archbishop of Eszertom-Budapest, and the approval of various bishops in whose dioceses it flourishes, as well as an Apostolic Blessing from Pope Francis in 2013.
The messages given to Elizabeth Kindelmann are urgent and emphasize the “same” message as most of the other approved ones from Saint Faustina, Our Lady of Fatima and Akita.
Five Effects of the Flame of Love
The effect of devotion to the Flame of Love is to make our parishes, families, and lives so full of Jesus by the power of grace, that Satan’s influence on our families and surrounding communities is broken. Once freed from the blinding influence of Satan, our families and communities are much more open to the gospel and the way of salvation. Thus we ask our Blessed Mother to: “Spread the effect of grace of your Flame of Love over all of humanity”

Effect #1: To Blind Satan
The diary highlights and actually describes this gift as Elizabeth was able to blind Satan, making him powerless and freeing those who felt his oppression.
Effect #2: To Save Souls-Sanctification
Sanctification (especially family members). The diary contains many promises concerning the family. Elizabeth was a mother of six children, all of whom had their own struggles. She worried about their eternal salvation. Our Lady told her that she was chosen specifically because she was a mother and that from heaven she would be with her children at their death beds.
Effect #3: To Save the Family
The Flame of Love is family-focused. Our Lady wants parents to gather their children for prayer and devotion. She will come to every home which invites her.
Effect #4: To Free Souls from Purgatory
Our Lady makes great promises, especially for those who keep the Monday fast (bread and water until 6:00 PM). So often, we forget our deceased relatives and friends.
Effect #5: To Convert the World Through the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
The flame is meant for all of humanity, even those who are not yet baptized. Our Lady promised many miracles which all would realize took place, without any elaborate investigation.
