Set on Fire by The Divine Mercy
and Flame of Love
Yvonne Duffy was born and raised Catholic but fell away from the faith during her teenage years. At age 28, Yvonne encountered the merciful forgiveness of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Divine Mercy Devotion. As a result, she experienced a re-conversion to the faith and returned to the Catholic Church. Later, in 2016, she was given an abridged version of the Spiritual Diary of Elizabeth Kindlemann and became illuminated by the Flame of Love. The Flame of Love is an outpouring of grace intended to blind Satan, save souls, and renew families and the world. It's a gift for all. humanity, for Christians and non-Christians alike. Please come and bring a friend to hear Yvonne's compelling story, her transformation back to the faith, and to Living in the Flame of Love.
