Saint Valentine

"Our Lord loves you and loves you tenderly; and if He does not let you feel the sweetness of His love, it is to make you more humble and abject in your own eyes."
- Saint Pio of Pietrelcino (1887 - 1968)

Today is the feast day of Saint Valentine. Valentine was a Roman priest of the third century. He, along with Saint Marius and his family, helped the Christian martyrs who were being persecuted under the reign of Claudius II. Valentine was also arrested, and because he did not renounce the faith, he was beaten with clubs and then beheaded. He died in 269. 

Saint Valentine, pray for us!
