Saint Valentine!

Happy Valentine's Day!!! That is a common expression we will hear this day because it is the day to celebrate Saint Valentine. In our recent diocesan bulletin, there was a page that talked about celebrating Saint Valentine's Day at Home. There are two quotes that I would like to share with you from this resource: First, "You carry out the mission of the church of the home in ordinary ways when: You love and never give up believing in the value of another person. Before young ones hear the Word of God preached from the pulpit, they form a picture of God drawn from their earliest experiences of being loved by parents, grandparents, godparents, and other family or community members" (From Follow the Way of Love). Secondly, "Today is a day for families to CELEBRATE and BE THANKFUL for the many loves in their lives" (From Faith and Fest, 2004 The Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha). Those quotes really say it all. Let us be thankful for the people that God has placed in our lives and for the love that they show us. When those people show us love, it is a glimpse of the love that God has for us. May God bless the loves in our lives. Have a blessed day!!!
