Maybe not one, but three, St. Valentines?

 

Roman  Catholic priest William Saunders wrote in 2003 of his research on St.
Valentines:

He concludes, "On this Valentine's day, looking to the example of this great
saint, each person should offer again his love to the Lord, for only by
doing so can he properly love those who are entrusted to his care and any
other neighbor. Each person should again pledge his love to those loved
ones, praying for their intentions, promising fidelity to them, and thanking
them for their love in return. Never forget Jesus said, "This is my
commandment: love one another as I have loved you. There is no greater love
than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends" (Jn 15:12-13). St.
Valentine fulfilled this command, and may we do the same."

 

Peace, Happy Valentines Day, and, Ash Wednesday blessings,

Joe
