Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be to the Father Step 2: Grant, we beseech thee, O Almighty God, that we who solemnize the festival of blessed Valentine, Thy Martyr, may, by his intercession, be delivered from all the evils that threaten us. Oh! intercede for us, that we may then be made thy companions at the right hand of the Great Judge, and be united with thee eternally in heaven.Īntiphon: This Saint fought, even unto death, for the law of his God, and feared not the words of the wicked for he was set upon a firm rock. The day of Judgment will reveal to us all thy glorious merits. Valentine, pray for the Faithful, who are so persevering in celebrating thy memory. Valentine from the jaws of the secular world by first learning several prayers attributed to the saint, to ask him to intercede for our family and friends. I began our little evangelization journey/project towards reclaiming the REAL St. So I made it my mission to learn the real story behind this Catholic feast day. Who is the saint that causes us to be wild about hearts ♥, the color red and send friends and family messages of love every February 14? Needless to say I was dismayed and horrified at the same time!! Hugs and kisses for the Grouchy Ladybug by famed author Eric Carle, Groggle Monster’s Valentine (yes, that is a real book recommended on a popular teacher website), Valentine’s Day Jokes for Kids, The Secret Life of Squirrels – a Love Story, Little Ant’s Valentine, do I need to go on? Just to paint the picture for you, here is a small sampling of titles you will find if you do a library or book search: Only to find that practically EVERYTHING I found was about the cute (sometimes creepy looking) cupids with love arrows, hearts, flowers, chocolate BUT nothing about the real saint!
In an attempt to spice things up a bit in our family homeschooling I was planning on doing all things St. Necessity is truly the mother of invention!
