On Friday, February 14, we celebrated Valentine’s Day. Did you know that St. Valentine was a great witness of our faith? He was a priest in Rome who was martyred for performing Christian marriages that were against the law. He was put in prison and in his time there, he even performed miracles of healing.

Valentine’s acts of courage in the face of persecution have made him a symbol of love and commitment. As we continue through the month of February, let us all live liturgically by showing extra love to everyone in our lives.  Show love to your family members, friends and even complete strangers.
