The Flame

March, 2011 Volume 18 Issue 3

Message from the Blessed Mother at the Macho Men of God Retreat 1/22/11 I wish to shower

my sons with

graces and

virtues of love.

With this love there is no limit to what God can do

through you. My sons, be ever so mindful of what

your mouth speaks, for from them has come curses

and blessings: let it not be so. Let your mouth be a

mouthpiece to only speak these things that glorify

our Almighty and Omnipotent Savior.

My beloved sons, I am pleased that so many of my

disciples of mercy are here. My sons, you have

come because you have been called. No greater a

calling is there than this. My Beloved Sons, I am

now calling a greater army, and I will call you for

this task. My sons, take to heart these words, today,

at this moment, all obstacles are cleared so that

your prayers can be heard by the Almighty. Stay on

the path God has shown you, the path of love is first.

Protect it and stay focused for this. I am showering

on you today the grace to persevere. Be faithful, for

God is faithful.

Thank you, thank you, my children, for being here

tonight.

Peace, peace, peace of Jesus be with you.

It gives me great joy to hear your prayers of the

heart. For it calls forth the power of God through

His instrument of the angels.

Note from Mary Constancio: I see that I am to bless the hands as they hold their hands to receive the treasures of heaven. Mary Constancio reassured the men that even if they were unsure of what path God wants them to pursue in their lives, (what their purpose is) they are to simply follow the path of love, and the rest will become clear.

What is the path of love that God would have us follow? Scripture describes The Way of Love in 1 Cor. 13: Love is patient and kind, love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. Of course, more is said about love in the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (Bible) than we can grasp in our lifetimes, but we can begin studying every day and living out these words. And our Blessed Mother echoes this teaching when she tells us: Love is beyond feelings. Love sees all and knows all and still chooses mercy. Love rejoices even when you sorrow. Love reaches out even when you have been hurt. Love does not count the pain or the inconvenience. Love restores, rebuilds and renews where

destruction has been caused by lack of love. Anger, bitterness and unforgiveness: all these things

are because of lack of love. Love is the healer where there is no hope. Love is not afraid for it knows its source. Love never fails. Love is unending. You can never love too much. Love is a gift that only multiplies when it is given.

Mary Constancio –Messenger This Valentine’s Day, why not celebrate with an act of true love, totally giving of yourself to another in service, kindness, patience, and forgiveness. Giving mercy when it is not deserved is at the heart of love. May God give you grace and bless you to really love all year round. For you married couples, consider setting apart time to truly love one another. Give the gift of your time to your spouse and to God in coming to our Marriage Retreat. Remember: Love only multiplies when it is given!

By: Jessica Mendez The Empowered in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit Retreat was so amazingly power-packed that even my children felt the empowerment! I am so thankful that my husband and I were able to attend the retreat together because my youngest sister was able to take care of our five children. Saturday night, after the Lord blessed me with the gift of singing in tongues, I felt the Lord prompting me to sing over my sister in tongues. When we arrived home, I asked her if I could pray over her and she gave me permission. As soon as my kids, the nine year old and four year old, heard her say yes, they raced to bring me the rose oil and rose water! Then, after I was done, the Lord showed Ralph, my husband, that he needed to wash her feet in place of the men who had hurt her. My husband had not yet said what he was going to do, but went to get a bowl and began filling it with water. I was amazed to see that all of my children, except my eight month old, already knew what Ralph was about to do and so began preparing my sister by removing her shoes! She asked them, “What are you doing?” to which my four year old responded, “My Daddy is going to wash your feet.” I was in awe with the way the Holy Spirit was working through my children. Ralph began washing my sister’s feet and

asking her forgiveness, then each of my children, from the nine year old down to the two year old, began washing her feet and asking for her forgiveness as well! I was speechless, to say the least. My sister was also in awe with the children and what they were doing. I felt that this was the Lord’s way of showing us the importance of being good role models for our children. They really do imitate their parents. If we choose to show mercy and put our love and forgiveness in action, our children will learn to do the same. If we choose to hold on to unforgiveness and anger, they will do the same. What are you showing your children? Are you showing them mercy or revenge? Ask the Lord to show you where your faith is through your children. The Blessed Mother said in a message given on June 20, 1988, “ I would like to be with you and to guide you and to guide your children. Listen to me in the morning and in the evening…. And your wisdom to bring your children to salvation and to know when our Father calls will be of no understanding to man.…….. I wish to bring all families to myself. For when you allow my presence among you, you will be truly blessed.” What better way to allow the presence of our Mama than to follow her Son’s example? May the Lord bless you! Hope to see you at the next retreat!

The remarkable love is one which gives when it hurts, when it’s inconvenient, when it’s too hard or we’re too tired, or no longer feel like it. How do we love then? As Mother Teresa says, “like a lamp burns, through the continuous input of small drops of oil. What are these drops of oil in our lamps? They are the small things of daily life: faithfulness, small words of kindness, a thought for others, our way of being silent, of looking, of speaking, of acting. Do not look for Jesus away from yourselves. He is not out there. He is in you. Keep your lamp burning, and you will recognize him.”
