Did you know that Valentine’s Day is observed on February 14 every year throughout the world?  It began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus.  And while we  celebrate Valentine’s Day as a day of love between two individuals, we are also called to focus on love and loving service to others on this day.  Just as Jesus called for Mary and John to care for one another as he was dying, we are called to care for one another – especially for those who have experienced loss.  Show those less fortunate that there is still love and caring in this world.

Here’s a History Channel story about Valentinus and a few little-known facts about him.  Check it out by clicking here.
