What kind of flame?
What kind of love?
Although at first it sounds like we are dealing with very emotional, human phenomena, this love is far above that. Many people may have sentimental associations and perhaps that is what keeps them from exploring the depths of this spirituality. This Love is Love Personified, with a capital letter, the Third Person of God, the Holy Spirit. This Love, being divine, is full of liberated spiritual joy, but ready to make great sacrifices if necessary. And why the flame... God is revealed countless times through Scripture in the form of Fire. As a form of human and divine unity, this flame is present in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and in the Crystal-clear (Immaculate) Heart of the Mother of God. Mary's aim is that by giving us this spiritual fire, our hearts may also be set aflame. It is as if she were distributing the branches of the Burning Bush to humanity.
