In 2013, Pope Francis gave his apostolic blessing on the Flame of
Love movement of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This devotion sprang
from the remarkable conversations between Elizabeth Kindelmman,
Third Order Carmelite and Jesus and Mary, in the form of internal
locutions.Already, on June 6, 2009, Cardinal P�ter Erd�, Archbishop
of Esztegom, Budapest, Hungary, had given his Imprimatur to the
original Spiritual Diary. In the Cardinal's words regarding the
Flame of Love:
"...This spirituality spread to many countries throughout the world
and has produced positive fruits. Before making this decision in
Budapest, we have spoken with bishops, priests, and people from
other countries. We have also talked with pastors of souls in our
own country. They have testified that the Flame of Love produces
fruits in the lives of individual persons and of communities. These
testimonies were very positive and we know that a good tree
produces good fruits.
After this, we established a commission. Various priests examined
the written documents, including the Spiritual Diary itself, the
documentation from foundations outside of Hungary, and the
recognitions that local bishops in many parts of the world (from
Brazil to Mexico) have given to this Movement as a private
association of the faithful. Just a short time ago, this
investigation was finished. As a conclusion, our Church recognizes
as authentic, in accord with the Catholic faith, all of the
material contained in the Spiritual Diary. Also, this archdiocese
considers that the activity, life and rule of this community is in
accord with all that characterizes movements of spirituality and
authentic communities of the Catholic Church.
At this point, the entire Church receives this charisma as a gift
from God. Instead of forgetting about this gift, we ought to place
it on the lampstand so that it lights up everything in the
house.
