Short history of Hungary

With World War I (1914-1918), Hungary lost 2/3 of its territory.Then came World War II. The soviet army occupied Hungary until the first years of 1990. Communism settled down in the whole country. In spite of the soviet occupation and of communism, Hungary never lost its faith. In those years of 1961-1985, Elizabeth

received the FLAME OF LOVE: this great gift that Mary gives us through Elizabeth.

The Flame of Love is the means obtained by the Holy Virgin from the Most Holy Trinity, through the merits of the Wounds of her Most Holy Son, to blind Satan and save souls.

“Hurry up, my little one! The moment

when My Flame of Love will take fire

is already near, and at this moment

Satan will become blind…”“…Because it will take fire not

only in the nations entrusted to Me, but ALL AROUND THE EARTH,

and will spread throughout the world,

even in the most inaccessible places”

a 16 page booklet of the

“Flame of love”

edited in Spain

Ana María felt the call of Our Mother very strongly in her heart and she answered generously

She then began her great apostolate of spreading the FLAME OF LOVE in Mexico and in the Americas

From 1983 to 1990, Ana María does not take a rest.She comes into contact with Father Gabriel Rona, who lived in Ecuador,and does not cease encouraging him to carry out his project to translate the Spiritual Diary in Spanish

First Cenacle of prayer in Mexico, D.F. , in Ana María de Moreno’s house

Thanks to the collaboration of Brother Abdías, the first booklets and books, which make the duty to spread the message of Our Mother easier, were edited in his printing-house

From 1990 to 1999, Ana María, indefatigable, looks for means of extending what is now known as the “Movement of the Flame of Love”, not only in Mexico, but also in other countries of Latin America, in the United

States and in Canada

Ana María wrote “Spiritual Progress” to help making the message of the FLAME OF LOVE known and alive. At the same time, the Diary was edited in booklets, as the translated texts reached her from Ecuador

“When crossing yourself, never be inattentive. Always think of the Three Divine Persons…

Cross yourself five times in a row thinking of my Holy Wounds. Look unceasingly at my eyes, suffused with Blood, by so many blowsthat I received from you”

Diary, pages 32 et 38Diary, pages 32 et 38

22

The INVOCATION of the “Flame of Love” is represented by the Immaculate Heart of Mary or by the burst of light

23

It is the Most Holy Trinity itself. The loving Father puts his arms round the whole humanity, in spreading the gifts of the Holy Spirit, with the sorrowful Hearts of Jesus and Mary who, by their sorrows, redeem us. They form the great FLAME OF LOVE, our salvation.

EMBLEM of the MOVEMENT OF THE FLAME OF LOVE

24Diary, page 132

“This is not a new form of prayer, it must be a constant petition

so that by its action the whole mankind become converted”

The jaculatory prayer: …flood the whole humanity with the blessings of your Flame of Love, now and at the hour...
