Dear St. Martin of Tours Family & Friends,

In past bulletins (May 23 and May 30), I wrote about the powerful devotion of The Flame of Love, the special outpouring of grace through Our Lady under the title of Her Immaculate Heart, an outpouring of divine gifts specially granted to Our Lady from Her Son for these times of secular confusion and darkness.

There are four prayers that are essential to the Flame of Love Movement. But of these, I want to bring to your attention the simplest of them which is also the most powerful among them.

The night before Jesus suffered He offered a great prayer recorded in the Gospel of John 17:21 in which Jesus prayers for his disciples “that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”

In this prayer is contained not just Our Lord’s desire for the Church on earth to be one, but indeed for all of fallen humanity which is so wayward, lost, stubborn, confused, and crying out in the darkness for light and hope. Satan is the divider of humanity, the destroyer of unity, the one who tears us apart. The Father wants all of his children with Him, one united family forever in heaven. Jesus came to rescue all whom Satan has torn apart, to heal them, to make them whole once more, and to bring all the Father’s children into wholeness and holiness. Therefore, this prayer is called The Unity Prayer.

Jesus said, “Through this prayer, Satan will be blind and souls will not be led into sin.” (The Diary of Elizabeth Kindelmann, p. 25) The more we become ONE with one another in the Father, and because the Father is perfect Light,  as we become ONE with the Father and remain in His Light, the enemy will find it impossible to see us, you and me who, wrapped in the Light of God as in an impermeable spiritual robe, become invisible to Satan’s snares and torments.

THE UNITY PRAYER

My adorable Jesus,
May our feet journey together.
May our hands gather in unity.
May our hearts beat in unison.
May our souls be in harmony.
May our thoughts be as one.
May our ears listen to the silence together.
May our glances profoundly penetrate each other.
May our lips pray together to gain mercy from the Eternal Father.

Amen

Pray this prayer for protection! – for yourselves, for your loved ones, and for all whom God has given into your care.
