Blessed Virgin
Mary, our cherished heavenly Mother, you love so much God and us, your
children, that you offer us to your divine Son Jesus on the Cross, to forgive
us by our Heavenly Father and to obtain our salvation, so that all those who
believe in Him do not perish but obtain the Eternal Life.
With a filial
confidence, we pray to you, Virgin Mary, that with the Flame of Love of your
Immaculate Heart, kindled by the Holy Spirit, you ignite in our languid hearts
the fire of a perfect love for God and all the humans, so that together with
you, with one heart, we love God and our neighbour.
Help us to
transmit this holy Flame to all the people of goodwill, so that the Flame of
Love extinguishes the fire of hatred everywhere on earth and that Jesus, the
Prince of Peace, be the King and the centre of all the hearts in the Sacrament
of His Love on the Throne of our altars. Amen.
