With the personal approval of his Holiness Pope Paul VI, November 1973.
Blessed Virgin Mary,
our cherished heavenly Mother,
you love God and us, your children, so much 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 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 humanity,
so that together with you, with one heart,
we love God and our neighbor.
Help us to transmit this holy Flame
to all 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 center of all hearts in the Sacrament
of His Love on the Throne of our altars.
Amen.
