Happy St. Valentine’s Day! God loves you and so do I! God already sent a valentine to us, an expression of his infinite love in the person of Jesus Christ. This man, who referred to himself as the Son of Man, told us to love one another and to love ourselves. We usually associate this day with the love of a spouse or fiancé, but there is a greater love we should celebrate on every day; that of God’s love for all of creation. After man decided to leave God’s grace and wander the dark path of sin. God gave humankind the Law. This laid an enormous and impossible burden on all of us, and none could keep it. All of creation looked forward to the coming of Messiah, the one who would save us all. Jesus came in fulfillment of prophecies and the promise of God. He fulfilled the Law and satisfied God’s demand for justice. A gift of love for those who will believe! From the many roses given today, please set one aside for Jesus as one small token of our love for him.

God bless you this St. Valentine’s Day!
