St.+Valentine

__St. Valentine__ Patron of Love, Young People, and Happy Marriages

__Service__ He healed the jailer's daughter of her blindness. He married people even though it illegal. He aided Christians who were being persecuted.



__ Courage __ When Claudius had made it illegal to get married Valentine thought that it was a right that could not be taken away so he still married the people in secret. Once he was caught he was arrested and put into jail. While in jail he sent letters to his friends signing them "From your Valentine" __ Legacy __ He has an international holiday that everyone celebrates not just Catholics. Now on February 14, people will buy each other flowers and chocolates. We also send each other Valentines.

__ Prayer to St Valentine __ O glorious advocate and protector, St Valentine, look with pity upon our wants, hear our requests, attend to our prayers, relieve by your intercession the miseries under which we labour, and obtain for us the divine blessing, that we may be found worthy to join you in praising the Almighty for all eternity: through the merits of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. __Bibliography__
